“Lovingston Winery was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, their communication was prompt, effective, and personal. The team went above and beyond to make our day feel special, leaving a thoughtful note and bottle of wine in the bridal suite, directing traffic, helping set up decor, and even driving us around in the golf cart.

“Steve and Suzi are the best to work with! They were so easy to talk to and worked wonders getting everything set up for a rain plan since our wedding day was a rainy one. We never had any concerns about how to the day would go because they had it covered! Super responsive to any questions I had during the entire planning process. The venue itself is so gorgeous and cozy and perfect and I could not have asked for a more beautiful and scenic spot for our wedding. We had to use the rain plan and use the porch for the ceremony and honestly it was so pretty and worked out even better than we had ever dreamed of. I am so very thankful and grateful that this venue exists because it made our day perfect!”

“We got to host our wedding at Love Ridge Mountain Lodging and we loved the experience. We appreciate the setting because it is beautiful, accessible and appropriately private. Having the 12 cabins there, as well as the camp sites, gave our guests many options and ample parking. All the rooms and beds are super comfortable. It was a perfect place to host a large gathering. People stayed two nights and enjoyed relaxing activities while we focused on staging the wedding - they could hike, ride e-bikes, play lawn games, relax in hot-tubs, and play with our photo booth. It was great! There were many spaces to choose from to create various atmospheres for the wedding. We used the lodge, the gathering lawn, the courtyard, and we had a tent on the open field for the reception dinner. We also had multiple bonfires and bar sites. It made the event feel varied and exciting, while keeping everyone in one place. The venue owners were very helpful and accommodating, happy to work with us during the planning process to make sure everything was taken care of. We're thus very happy to recommend this place!”

“We had the most amazing experience at Hazy Mountain! From the breathtaking venue and mountain views to the food, staff, and overall experience, everything was absolutely incredible. Our wedding planner, Kayla, was THE BEST!!! I seriously cannot say enough good things about her. She was attentive, organized, communicative, and on top of absolutely everything. I truly didn’t have to think or worry about anything because Kayla was already handling it. She communicated with our vendors, made sure everything stayed on schedule, and made me feel like I had an entire team behind me throughout the day. She truly went above and beyond. At one point, while our photographer was taking photos of us outside, Kayla was literally standing there fanning her because it was hot! That’s the kind of person she is. She was our superhero that day. I don’t plan on getting married again, but if I did, I would want Kayla there all over again. She was phenomenal. The rest of the Hazy Mountain staff was just as wonderful. Dani was amazing, and everyone we interacted with was so kind and helpful. The venue itself is breathtaking, especially with the mountain views, and the food was SO good. Our family and friends were going back for seconds! If you’re looking for a wedding venue, please check out Hazy Mountain. You will not be disappointed! We are so grateful to Kayla, Dani, and the entire team for giving us such an amazing wedding experience.”

“I fell in love with Pippin Hill before I ever stepped foot on the property. After our very first preview conversation, I knew it was the one. Once we visited in person, there wasn’t a single doubt—Pippin Hill is truly in a league of its own. The venue is absolutely breathtaking. From the stunning architecture to the panoramic mountain views, every corner is beautiful and thoughtfully designed. It provided the most incredible backdrop for our wedding and truly brought our dream day to life. What impressed us just as much as the scenery was the level of service. Every single person we interacted with was kind, professional, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. The bridal suite is spacious, beautiful, and so well thought out, making the entire getting-ready experience feel relaxed and special. The food and drinks were phenomenal, and our tasting was an experience we’ll never forget. It wasn’t just a menu tasting—it felt like a celebration of everything to come. Every detail reflected the care and excellence that Pippin Hill is known for. Our wedding day exceeded every expectation, and so much of that is thanks to the incredible team at Pippin Hill. We continue to hear from our guests about how stunning the venue was and how exceptional the food and service were. If we could do it all over again, we would choose Pippin Hill every single time. It is truly a five-star experience in every sense of the word.”

“We had our wedding at Valley Road Vineyards in May 2025 and had an excellent experience from start to finish. We toured several wineries in the area, and Valley Road stood out for several reasons. The venue and scenery are gorgeous, the prices are very reasonable for the area, and their wine was the best we tried. The ceremony lawn has an incredible mountain view, and the reception barn spaces, inside and out, felt welcoming and well-designed. With the natural beauty of the property and the ambiance created by the string lights in the evening, we didn’t have to spend as much on extra decor or florals to get the feeling we wanted. The getting-ready areas (the groom’s lodge and bridal loft) were both very comfortable and made for great photos. We were very impressed with the VRV team. Barbara was a complete rockstar! She was organized, responsive, and helpful throughout the whole planning process, which we did from out of state. She, Stan, and the rest of the team clearly care a lot about what they do, and it shows in every detail. On the wedding day itself, Ben and Esther handled everything smoothly and kept things running on schedule. Ben was awesome to work with. He was prepared and engaged the whole time, and had a great friendly energy which helped set the right tone for the day. The whole day felt like a fairytale because everything was so beautiful and went so smoothly. One of our favorite memories of the day was being able to ride up into the vineyard for some photos and getting to pause for a moment to take in the stunning mountain views together. Overall, we were really happy with our decision and would recommend Valley Road Vineyards to anyone looking for a beautiful venue with a team that you’ll feel confident in!”

“Bellair Farm was the perfect rustic, casual, and relaxed venue for our wedding day. The rural setting provided a gorgeous, natural backdrop for our celebration, with plenty of room for our family and friends to spread out and enjoy the live band playing old time music, the square dance, and the barbecue buffet in the barn. The kids had a blast running around, playing in the sandboxes, and blowing bubbles. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect, laid-back setting to tie the knot. They generously let us store some of our flowers, food, and beer in their large walk-in cooler. Our caterer was able to set up in a closed off space in the barn that was out of site. Highly recommend Bellair Farm for any couple who is doing a DIY wedding event and looking for understated natural beauty and a relaxed setting that is kid-friendly.”

“Where to begin! We have loved King Family Vineyards and the people there for a long time, so it was special to be married there. Throughout the planning process, their events team was very helpful & responsive. We met with Amanda about a month before, and walked through several last minute details. She was so incredibly helpful, answered several questions, and was so generous with her time and input. On the day of our wedding, we had to make a last minute change of ceremony location due to rain, and we had our ceremony on the patio. It was absolutely stunning, intimate, and smooth. The staff helped us above and beyond with last minute details, changes, chair-moving, etc. We felt so cared for throughout our wedding planning process, and definitely on the day-of. We’re beyond happy that we were married at KFV. There is nothing quite like it ☺ Thank you to all the KFV staff and family!!”

“The Perfect Venue for the Best Day of Our Lives We hosted our wedding reception here as a cocktail party under the stars, and it truly was everything we dreamed of and more. The setting was stunning, creating a romantic and intimate atmosphere that felt straight out of a fairytale. Even though it was mid-June, the evening turned out to be a bit chillier than expected. We had originally set up cooling units for the caterer, but with a quick change of plans, the team seamlessly switched to heating units on the back deck. Their flexibility and professionalism meant everything went off without a hitch. The entire experience—from the ambiance to the attentive service—was flawless. I wouldn’t have wanted to celebrate our wedding anywhere else. It was the best day of our lives, and this venue played a huge part in making it so special. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful, adaptable, and unforgettable place to say “I do.””

Trump Winery is the venue where your wedding dreams come true. Whether you’ve envisioned an extravagant event or an elopement for just the two of you, we promise to create memories that you and your loved ones will cherish forever. Our 1300 acre property is nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, conveniently located 20 minutes from downtown Charlottesville. Our grounds have picture-perfect rolling hills, lakes, and over 200 acres of vines. Trump Winery couples benefit from indoor and outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour and reception settings, in well-appointed, heated and air-conditioned, luxury venues. Less than a mile away from both the Barn & Pavilion and the Grand Hall is our Albemarle Estate at Trump Winery, a 26,000-square foot, 11 bedroom mansion that provides overnight lodging for guests and a honeymoon night option for couples.

“Our decision to elope at Trump Winery in Charlottesville turned out to be the best choice we could have made. From the moment we arrived, the staff provided exceptional service, going above and beyond to make our day perfect. Every detail was handled with care, and we truly felt like their priority. The venue itself is stunning. The chapel on the property is a masterpiece, offering a level of intimacy and charm that we couldn’t find anywhere else. The fresco on the ceiling is absolutely breathtaking, a true work of art that made the space feel even more special. The large bay windows and balcony created incredible opportunities for photography, while the pews and altar added an elegant, timeless touch. Speaking of photography, we were thrilled with our choice of Aaron Watson Photography. He was a true professional, expertly navigating less-than-ideal weather to capture photos that exceeded all our expectations. The wedding package we selected was seamless and stress-free. It included gorgeous flowers, a kind and professional officiant, and every element we needed to make our day unforgettable. Our stay at the Albemarle Estate was equally exceptional. Between the pristine grounds, beautifully appointed rooms, and the privacy of the cabin we stayed in, the estate made us feel like we had our own little paradise. With only about 11 rooms on the property, it offered a level of exclusivity that was especially memorable for our New Year’s Eve wedding. We couldn’t have been luckier to host our wedding here. The property’s uniqueness, from the incredible chapel to the estate’s picturesque surroundings, far surpassed any other venue we explored. Additionally, the entire elopement package was an extraordinary value. For under 10,000, it included the venue, officiant, photographer, floral arrangements, two nights in the cabin, hair and makeup brought directly to us, our wedding attire, and delicious meals in the fine dining room. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, making our wedding as easy as it was magical. If you’re considering hosting your wedding at Trump Winery, we cannot recommend it highly enough. The experience was truly one of a kind, and we’ll cherish the memories forever.”

From start to finish, the experience was exceptional and worth every penny. What Eastwood includes in their wedding package is incredible and eliminates so much stress. They provided tables, a stunning sailcloth tent, barrel bars, on-site transportation to the ceremony location, a luxury restroom trailer, and around 200 chairs that can be used for either the ceremony or reception depending on your needs. Having all of these essentials included meant there were so many things we didn’t have to think about or rent elsewhere. The bridal cottage was also a perfect space to get ready and relax before the big day. Eastwood also works closely with you to select your wine package, and it was a huge hit! We actually sold out of wine very quickly at our wedding, which says everything about their standard of wine. We were married outdoors on a crisp fall day, and the setting was breathtaking. The mountaintop ceremony location created the most beautiful backdrop, and our photos turned out better than we ever could have imagined. We had just over 110 guests, and the space felt both intimate and perfectly sized. Plenty of room for people to get out on the dance floor. Our guests were incredibly complimentary of their entire experience at Eastwood, many raving about how it was one of the best wedding's they had ever been to. Emma, Eastwood's wedding coordinator, was phenomenal. From our very first inquiry through the end of our wedding night, she was incredibly communicative, responsive, and personal. While many venues sent automated responses, Emma brought a personal touch that made us feel truly cared for. When we met with her, she patiently answered every question from our family and walked us through all of the logistics with ease. No question was too small, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She also worked seamlessly with our planner and caterer, both of whom had experience at Eastwood, which made everything run smoothly. If you’re considering Eastwood Farm and Winery for your wedding, we cannot recommend it highly enough. It’s a beautiful venue with thoughtful inclusions, amazing wine, and a team that genuinely cares about making your day memorable to all.”

“This venue is amazing. You have access to the entire camp - pavillion, dining hall, fire pits, lodges and cabins. We had about half of our guests spend the entire weekend at the camp with us. They even staffed the rock climbing wall for our guests Saturday morning before our wedding. There are so many options to make your event exactly what you want it, and the staff is so great and easy to work with. Best of all- the fees go towards sending special needs children to camp. Cannot recommend it enough!!”

“I got married at Hardware Hills in March 2025. It was hands down the best day of my life and I couldn't have picked a better place to get married. My now husband and I toured the venue in the Fall of 2024 while the new event space was in the process of getting built. Lori was amazing at keeping me updated on the progress and the finished product turned out amazing. I enjoyed working with the entire Hardware Hills team and would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for an event space. The bridal suite is so beautiful and easily accommodated my bridal part of 6 plus other members of my family that was getting ready there that day. The groom and his groomsmen enjoyed getting to relax at the cottage the morning of the wedding. Everything was so amazing! If you're looking for a wedding venue, definitely check this place out.”

Barren Ridge Vineyards is a small vineyard and winery in the heart of Virginia’s beautiful Shenandoah Valley. John and Shelby Higgs opened the vineyard in 2008, on land purchased by John’s father in 1934 when the farm was known as St. James Orchard. Clearing the land, tending the vines, and transforming the packing barn into a state-of-the-art winery has been a labor of love for the Higgs family. Part of their vision is to see other families celebrate the special occasions and milestones of their lives at Barren Ridge, and they created event spaces characterized by warmth, elegance, rustic beauty, and Southern hospitality, surrounded by a backdrop of spectacular views. Convenient to Staunton, Waynesboro, Harrisonburg, Lexington, Charlottesville, Roanoke as well as Richmond, Barren Ridge Vineyards offers an ideal venue for your celebration, with its friendly and knowledgeable staff, award-winning wines, breath-taking landscape, versatile event spaces, and gracious ambience.

“My husband and I had to reschedule our wedding three times due to COVID and were under a time crunch: an upcoming military deployment. We decided LESS THAN A MONTH BEFORE to move our wedding to Barren Ridge. This was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. In my humble opinion, you will not find a better venue than Barren Ridge Vineyard. Not just because of the unbelievably gorgeous property, the delicious wines and beautifully spaces, but mainly because of Angela and Rob. Let’s first talk about the gorgeous property, we got married out on the beautiful patio. All our guests were able to sit outside on comfortable patio chairs with a view of the vineyard as they watched us exchange vows. Stunning. (You can also get married out in the vineyard, but due to August heat we choose not to). Next the delicious wine. Go to a tasting. AMAZING. Half our guests bought bottles as they left, they loved the wine that much. Beautiful spaces. The tasting room was perfect for a grab and take cheese board (we had them individually wrapped for grab and go COVID style) and bar. The room upstairs is spacious, inviting and gorgeous. We were able to have a dinner, cut the cake and do the first dances with plenty of space to social distance. The room is understated in a way that allows the architecture and the vineyard to shine. I hate over the top venues, but this room matches the décor of a vineyard perfectly. Simple flower arrangements and you’re done! Rob and Angela had different sized tables and other décor options which made setting up the room an easy feat. Now on to Rob and Angela. When I met them, I will be honest, I was in tears. My future husband and I were leaving for Japan for three years in September and if I didn’t pull off an August wedding, I wouldn’t be having a wedding. When I say these two LEAPT into action, I’m not kidding. They leapt! With their unbelievable amount of help we pulled together a wedding in a month. Armed with just a few sketches of seating arrangements and a small number of vendors Angela and Rob pulled off our miracle. I got the most beautiful wedding of my dreams. I also had a lot of COVID “demands” like all the tables with disposable water bottles, silverware and all food in to go containers. They helped make that work with the caterer. They allowed us to play music over the blue tooth speaker. The BRV team is amazing. When you get married at Barren Ridge, you choose to have Barren Ridge a part of your life forever. You open Barren Ridge wine every year on your anniversary. You have your birthday parties on the patio. You bring your kids on a picnic in the vines. When our original wedding was canceled, I was devastated. Little did I know I would still have the wedding of my dreams. It was better than the dream one I imagined (even with COVID). Our wedding day was so perfect. Barren Ridge is a place I will call home and a place I will keep coming back to, year after year. We are so lucky to have gotten married here. If you choose BRV, it will be the best wedding decision you ever make (after maybe the groom lol). (p.s. If you are planning a microwedding, Angela and Rob have been doing them since August 2020. They are experts now. Our wedding spread 0 cases of COVID and that’s in no small part to the diligence of the BRV team)”

“I live nearby and I had been to a couple of community events and a wedding at New Field Farm and I was so glad it was available for mine too! I can be very particular about details in my everyday life so I knew I needed a venue that would work with me and my vision. It is a barn/farm but the aesthetics and atmosphere are more similar to vineyard venues I had also toured. The packages available are very reasonable, I got the lowest tier which included the beautiful tables and table settings, both inside and outside chairs, and standard linens. I also paid for some additional services from the venue on top of my package; I had drop off service for catering so I needed to rent the venues chafing dishes and they required me to hire busing/cleaning services, I also rented the sound system and one of the rooms for a night. In total the cost was reasonable and I didn’t feel nickel and dimed, like I had seen at many venues. The additional costs added up to the same cost as my security deposit so I didn’t need to pay more in the end. My guest had a great time! My family and friends had an easy time setting up decorations the morning of the wedding. None of my guests or family needed to move any tables or chairs during setup or takedown, which may seem small but was a priority to me. Parking was easy, lots of accessible parking as well- though it is gravel so I can’t speak to all potential needs. New Field Farm was a dream venue for me and my now husband, the staff was very attentive to me and the details of my day. Would easily recommend!!”

“The Event Barn at Mount Ida is the place to start the next chapter for any couple! We booked here after seeing multiple other venues who lack that "certain something" that the bride and groom were looking for. I feel certain that the cascading stairs to the picturesque gazebo was that "certain something" the couple wanted but as the Mother of the Bride, the beauty of the Farm spoke for itself. The venue employees is what made this the full package. Our initial tour was with Frankie who was patient and knowledgeable with our numerous questions. Throughout the process, we worked side by side with Bronwyn, who was always quick to get us answers to any question. After booking, we requested a visit to see the venue one more time and we were introduced to Matt. Matt is the BEST! He was our POC thereafter. He is the best in this business! He works countless hours, is willing to step in at any moment to make sure things go smoothly, and always has a smile on his face. I can't applaud him enough for a job well done for my daughter and son-in-law's wedding! According to the bride and groom, wedding day at The Event Barn was "The Best Day EVER!"”

This was our main hotel block where most guests stayed, and also was the location for our welcome party and Sunday brunch. The staff was so kind and attentive (especially the valet staff - the BEST) and we heard the same from all of our guests. Would absolutely recommend the Virginian and are thankful to them for being such a special part of our wedding weekend!”

“We used the Kimpton The Forum Hotel for our wedding weekend and it was a DREAM. By far the nicest accommodations available in the Charlottesville area, and pricing-wise, it beats competitors by a mile for a much nicer experience. From the minute we arrived for our wedding weekend, staff here made us feel seen and helped us with our every request. We were able to book a suite for bride and groom and getting ready, and Shannon helped us so much in securing our room block, extending it, and coordinating our stay. We also opted to have our wedding welcome party here, which was truly perfect. A huge thank you to Jake for the wonderful support provided in planning. The bar staff was so kind and soldiered through a very hot evening outside on the Camilia Promenade (which was a BEAUTIFUL venue) and choosing to host the welcome party at the hotel was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process. The food and drink were perfect. This was also a great spot for our guests, who could find something to eat at one of the restaurants when needed. We found ourselves gathered around the bar at night which was just such a lovely way to spend time together, and the accommodations themselves were so upscale and lovely. Valet staff was out of this world helpful, remembered our names, were friendly and kind...and our guests loved the happy hour in the evenings, too! I wish we could've stayed here even longer, it was truly so perfect and made us feel so special over our wedding weekend. Can't recommend enough!”

“My partner and I wanted an experience that wouldn’t be overwhelming for us or our guests and the owners really hit the mark. From the start, they were communicative and professional. They made the process easy and although we didn’t need have a huge group of guests or an intricate setup they let us know the venue had endless possibilities for setup on our day. And on the day of, after our small ceremony, the atmosphere was perfect for our friends and family to relax and everyone was obsessed with the animals! They’re adorable and if you want that “farm” wedding vibe, but you’re more of a city person they’re perfect because they’re not intimidating at all.

“My husband and I got married at Montalto in May 2022, and it was the wedding of our dreams. We also happened to meet at Montalto at a UVA reunion in 2017, so it was extra special to us and we were so excited to return. Nothing can match the beautiful views from the mountaintop of Charlottesville, Monticello, and the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Monticello team went above and beyond for us, as intense storms were forecasted the week of our wedding. And it was indeed a rainy weekend, but we were still able to celebrate at the mountaintop and incredible views, including rainbows. The indoor facilities with the balcony were picture perfect for our wedding day prep and was still out of the way of the set up going on downstairs. The staff was very prompt at communication and working with all our vendors to make our dream day come true. As an added bonus, getting to take our engagement photos on the mountain top was pretty unique, too (see attached photos courtesy of Xiaoqi Li)”
