Cumberland Estate is unbelievable. If you’re looking for that perfect place for your dream wedding, look no further. Tucked back in the woods it opens up to a beautiful plantation that sits along the Pumunkey River. The views and landscape are breathtaking. From the flower gardens to the weeping willow cascading over the ponds , it’s romantic and beautiful. My husband and I got married at the estate in 2021. We stayed on the property in the Carriage House the night before and the night of our wedding. The Carriage House is also used for any guests that want to stay at the Estate. We just recently stayed again for our one year anniversary! It was just as wonderful as it was for our wedding! The staff here is amazing. They made sure we had everything we needed and they are so thoughtful. I definitely recommend Cumberland. There’s plenty of beautiful scenery for the perfect wedding photos. This place is like a fairytale. So magical! Oh, did I mention there’s a pool too?!
