Avon Hill was honestly the best venue we could have asked for. We only had 45 guests and the lodge housed about half of our guests which made the weekend that much more intimate. The views were absolutely amazing and the hospitality was just as great, Jocelyn was very prompt and willing to answer any and all of our questions and very accommodating to someone who added each lodge separately lol!!! The lodges had everything you could think of and Bruce's Barn was just amazing. It fit our group so perfectly and photographed so beautifully!

The Carolyn Baldwin Lake Pavilion 

5.0

Farmville, VA
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $1,200

The Carolyn Baldwin Lake Pavilion is named after our dear loved one, Carolyn Varner Baldwin, who unexpectedly passed away in 2008 due to an allergic reaction. She was the matriarch of our family and a beautiful, one-in-a-billion type of person with a generous and loving spirit. She was a talented gardener, a devoted fisherwoman who could out-fish the best of 'em (we're talking "sun-up-til-sundown" kind of fishing), was creative and artsy, and never knew a stranger. We felt it only fitting to name this lovely place in her memory. We are a family-operated business. Joanna is the General Manager and works with each client to accommodate varying event needs. She handles a wide range of aspects of the business, from answering questions about what will make your event run smoothly to giving you layout suggestions. She has worked with over 200 wedding & event clients over the last 10 years and has learned quite a bit about weddings & event planning through her experiences.

Awarded Best of Zola
What I love about the Carolyn Baldwin Pavilion is that it offers a completely unique setting than many of the other rustic venues in the area. The pavilion is enclosed overhead to provide shade, but is still open all sides to provide that desirable outdoor wedding vibe. The space is intimate and romantic, set on a beautiful lake in the secluded country setting. Joanna, the owner, is professional, friendly and goes above and beyond to help her clients achieve their perfect day. Couples have the options to bring in the vendors of their choice, but are also given lists of preferred tried and true local businesses who will go the extra mile to make your day as smooth and successful as possible. 5 stars for sure!

The Barns at Layz S Ranch 

5.0

Palmyra, VA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $6,000

Couples can host a gorgeous outside ceremony on the concrete patio, or opt for a covered pavilion ceremony. The pavilion is open on three sides to bring the beautiful scenery indoors, but the sides and barn-style doors can be closed in the event of inclement weather. Inside the pavilion, lighting is provided by lanterns and chandeliers, and a large hand-crafted fireplace takes spotlight, with rocks from the farm incorporated into its design. The outdoor patio is attached to the pavilion, creating an extra space that can be used for a ceremony, reception area, or dance floor. A second pavilion was completed in 2018 to provide reception space that is separate from the ceremony site, but within close proximity. This pavilion is completely enclosed and offers a gas fireplace as well as lanterns and chandeliers for lighting. As wedding guests arrive, wedding parties can use the bridal suite to get ready.

We absolutely loved this venue. Working w Pam was very easy. The ability to get in the set up the day before was a lifesaver. I would highly recommend this venue. Only downside is there's no way to heat up food and no ice on site. We made it work and would recommend Lazy Z Ranch to anyone. Thank you!!!!

My son recently got married at Earlyhouse, and the entire experience was nothing short of perfect. The venue was gorgeous. Everywhere you looked, there was a stunning backdrop for wedding photos. We were especially grateful to have the day-of coordinated by Katie, who worked behind the scenes to coordinate with all of us (coming from Florida, Texas, Maryland, Tennessee, & New York) and our vendors, she even managed my sons wedding timeline. It was evident that she genuinely cared about making the day special for our family. Her dedication and professionalism shined upon us the whole time. Because of Katie's expertise and dedication, we were able to relax and truly enjoy the day without any stress or concerns. Knowing that everything was in capable hands allowed us to be fully present in the moment, celebrating our son and new daughter-in-laws special day. I cannot recommend Earlyhouse enough-both for its breathtaking beauty and the exceptional staff who made our sons wedding a day we will cherish forever.

Dover Hall is is such an amazing venue and only made better by the staff and service. My wife and I were married here in March 2023 and could not have asked for a better venue. From the moment we toured Dover Hall back in 2022, we knew this would be the place for us. From the beginning, Rachel was such a pleasure to work with and we can't say enough great things about her. As we approached our date, Silvia came on-board and took the lead without hesitation. She was instrumental in organizing all of our details and worked so well with our Planner and the rest of our vendors. The week of the wedding was made so much easier with the help and guidance of both Silvia and Rachel, along with the rest of the Dover Hall staff. Each and every one of them was kind, personable, knowledgeable, and kept our thoughts and wishes at the top of their priority from Day 1. The wedding itself was truly amazing; everything we had dreamed of and more. From the outdoor ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to the ballroom reception, all of the logistics of the day were handled and executed flawlessly. The food was absolutely amazing and I cannot understate how many compliments we received from our guests. It only added to the amazing night they helped us pull off; we could not have had the wedding of our dreams without Dover Hall!!!

Waverly Estate

Lunenburg, VA

Imagine your wedding extended into three days! Stay the night and wake up at your venue on your big day and spend time with your wedding party. After the reception, its not over! Continue the wedding into the following day with a delicious breakfast shared with all of your closest friends and family! Waverly Estate offers historic character, southern charm, and modern amenities all tied together perfectly to create a dream venue for your big day. The estate house and the historic chapel date back to 1838. We take pride in being able to have our couples be a part of the history of the estate. The property has grand shade trees all throughout providing a beautiful backdrop for you ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. With stunning indoor and outdoor options including our stunning greenhouse inspired event building, beautiful overnight rooms, and full weekend rentals, Waverly Estate is able to offer peace of mind on your wedding day.

I honestly couldn’t have picked a better venue than Waverly Estate. There’s no venue like it that gives you the flexibility of coming in on Friday & staying until Sunday. We had no worries about clean up after the reception or scrambling the morning of between a hotel & the venue for getting ready. On top of all of that, the all inclusive package that Waverly has is NEXT LEVEL. I didn’t have to search for vendors because Waverly had them already available & built into my package. It was an absolute dream to have one less thing to stress about. Their coordinator, Rachel, is absolutely amazing too. She answered every question I had & was the best cheerleader for us on wedding day. She had everything completely organized & made my vision come true for our wedding. My wedding was a dream come true, in huge part to the team at Waverly Estate.

The Market at Grelen

Somerset, VA
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Select services

  • Starts at $6,000
  • Offer

Set on Grelen Nursery's 600-acre tree nursery, The Market at Grelen is a magical wedding venue boasting rural simplicity at it’s most luxurious! It has gorgeous 360-degree views and was lovingly designed to emphasize the surrounding natural beauty. Perfect for the creative party planner, The Market at Grelen has a variety of event spaces: a greenhouse, a shade garden & berry field, a large bluestone terrace, a 4500 sq. ft. clear stargazing tent and a groomed pasture at the highest point of the nursery. ​Located in Central Virginia (only 35 minutes north of Charlottesville, one hour west of Richmond and two hours south of DC), it is PERFECT VENUE for a variety of celebrations. LGBTQ+ friendly.

We first visited The Market at Grelen in the middle of December, and immediately knew that if it could look that beautiful in winter, it was going to be amazing for our October wedding. We had no idea how right we were. Grelen is filled with so much nature, is incredibly peaceful, and unbelievably gorgeous at all times of the year. The clear-top tent was a showstopper and all of our guests remarked how unique and beautiful it was, especially with the string lights. We were able to use almost all of the grounds for the most spectacular photos, from the greenest fields to their apple orchards and more. But most importantly, our ceremony location (the Berry Lawn) was just perfect. We had a smaller wedding with 80 guests and they fit so comfortably there, though the space could easily fit 150 at least. It was just the most beautiful location to get married, with the rolling mountains behind you as you say your vows. Their team was helpful from the very first day we stepped foot on the grounds, through all the wedding planning, and the wedding weekend itself. They sent us recommendations on vendors (which help us build our dream team -- they were all amazing!), kept us up to date on everything going on at the venue and shop (which has really good food, by the way. We had lunch there with our wedding party families before the wedding rehearsal), and double confirmed all details the week before the wedding. We also stayed at their 118 Suite property and really loved it! Also, they let you use some of their flowers and trees! This helped us save a bit on florals and really elevated every location. Our favorite were the magnolia trees in the tent :) Overall -- you will have an absolutely stunning wedding if you get married at Grelen!
