Venue considerations

  • Best for events with big guest lists
  • Does not allow pets
  • Not for you if you are drawn to more unconventional venues
Selecting The Estate at River Run as our wedding venue was the single best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. It wasn't just a venue; it felt like home and provided the perfect backdrop for one of the most important days of our lives. From our engagement photos to our rehearsal dinner and the wedding day itself, this stunning estate was a dream. We opted for the Friday early access package in addition to the overnight package, and it made all the difference. We got access to the Estate at 2pm on Friday and my bridesmaids and I were able to stay the night before, which transformed the wedding morning into a truly relaxing and joyous experience. We were able to handle all the final preparations on Friday, leaving Saturday morning completely stress-free. The true magic of this venue, however, lies with Kim and her team. They are, without a doubt, the best in the business. Their kindness, professionalism, incredible attention to detail, and seamless organization are unmatched. They truly think of everything, anticipating needs before you even realize you have them. Their guidance and support were a genuine blessing, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. The venue itself is breathtaking, offering so many different and beautiful locations for all the various events. It is truly a place where memories are not just made, but treasured. We are so incredibly grateful to The Estate at River Run for hosting our special day. It was everything we could have ever wanted and more.

Armando is always ready to jump in and help with the details, he's also always aware of the light and best places for GORGEOUS footage.

Choosing to work with French Honey Hospitality was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Not only was Maegan passionate, talented, and professional, but she was easy to communicate with, hard-working, and kind. From the first phone call to “last call”, Maegan listened to what we wanted and made our vision come to life. During the planning process, Maegan was knowledgeable, helpful, and fun. She helped us pick our two signature cocktails, designed our personal menu, and gave us a detailed shopping list. On our wedding day, Maegan and Stewart showed up early to set-up the bar – and they went above and beyond by lending a helping hand to any vendor who needed it. During our cocktail hour and reception, the duo kept our drinks full and the bar lines short. We still have guests talking about how delicious our signature cocktails were, how friendly Maegan and Stewart were, and how much fun they had at our wedding. Lastly, we absolutely loved that French Honey Hospitality used “Green Bar Equipment” and compostable drinkware. Overall, my husband and I cannot recommend French Honey Hospitality enough!

Our wedding was a few weeks ago, and we still have guests raving to us about how beautiful our florals were (and we agree wholeheartedly). Stacy has such a special eye for color and design. We went into the planning experience with only vague ideas of what we wanted. After our consult call, we felt confident she was the one for us and would help guide us through the process. Her kindness, expertise, and excitement were what drew us in. We cannot wait to get our professional photos back so we can admire them again, and I even decided to have my bouquet pressed afterwards so we could preserve the day further. Our florals were easily one of our favorite parts of the day. We could not recommend her enough!

My name is Leander, but most people call me LJ. I'm a wedding and family photographer based in Richmond, Virginia, and I believe that photographs aren't decoration. Your photographs are documentation of a life that's been fully lived. Loving people like Christ, paying attention to what matters to them, and showing up with intention is how I attempt to move through the world.

When we first booked Living Out Loud Productions for our wedding, we knew we were making the right choice, and four years later, that decision keeps paying off. LJ's communication was straightforward and supportive from day one, making the entire planning process feel easy and stress-free. On our wedding day, he brought such a positive energy to everything he did, capturing moments that felt genuine and full of joy. His photos turned out exactly how we hoped—sharp, beautiful, and full of life. We've loved working with him so much that we've hired him for every photoshoot since, and he's become a good friend along the way. If you want a photographer who is reliable, talented, and genuinely cares about your day, LJ is your person.

We also received our photos SO quickly and got to browse through them on our honeymoon which was amazing. The Inmans were knowledgeable, professional, and created a very enjoyable experience. They’re young and hip and really understand what couples want from their wedding photos & videos these days. Wedding day was perfect! Not to mention Ashley was pregnant and still didn’t miss a beat all day!!

From the beginning, Claudine was very responsive and communicative with our catering wants and needs! My now husband and I knew coming in that we wanted a buffet style menu and a simple bartending package and were able to have both of those things with Autumn's Custom Catering. They offered a bunch of different appetizers, entrees, sides, and drinks to choose from, and ensured that we had plenty of time to explore their options. I had many questions regarding menu items and rental items, and Claudine always ensured that she answered in a timely manner and was clear and communicative about everything! She was always very warm and sweet. On the big day, she ensured that me and my husband were taken care of, and had nothing but kind things to say, and the biggest hugs to give!!! The appetizers and buffet items were so delicious and yummy, and the staff was exceptional! We cannot recommend Autumn's Custom Catering enough!!

Please reach out through my website! I am inactive on zola. My photos are emotion-centered and in the moment. I shoot a combination of 35mm film, medium format film, polaroids, and digital photography. My goal is to notice the right moments and turn them into timeless, artistic, photos made with love - not photos that look like everyone else's. :)

Jesslyn is immensely talented. Our photos are so beautiful and are indicative of the level of skill she possesses. Working with her was a pleasure, she is communicative, and made us feel at ease throughout the planning process. Not to mention she was such a lovely presence at our wedding, our family still talks glowingly about her two months later. Overall we cannot praise Jesslyn enough, we would confidently recommend her services to anyone looking for a photographer.

I’m a wannabe world changer, a devoted pray-er, and an avid forgiver. I’m a barefoot kitchen dancer, a hammock reader and sun seeker, an accident-prone adventurer... and hopefully, when I look back, a professional life-rider and full-fledged compassion giver.

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our florist, Jessica Samsing of Fleurish and Bloom. From the very beginning, we loved that we were able to meet her and really get to know her before booking. It never felt like a transaction for a service, and more like collaborating with a friend to bring a dream vision to life. I can be pretty particular when it comes to details, so finding someone we trusted completely to execute our vision was really important to us. She absolutely nailed it. She listened carefully, offered thoughtful guidance, and ultimately brought our dream to life in the most beautiful way. Not only was everything stunning, but she and her team were also incredibly respectful of our budget, which we appreciated so much. Throughout the process she was approachable, kind, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day special. You can truly feel how much she cares about her couples. If you’re looking for a florist who is talented, thoughtful, and a joy to work with, we cannot recommend her enough. She made the entire experience feel personal and meaningful, and we are so grateful for the beauty she created for our day.
