AMAZING! Just amazing job done by Colt and his team. I was panicking when I got to the venue because hair and makeup ran an hour over, he assured me we were fine and we’d have plenty of time. He kept us on schedule for the ceremony and reception and just was there every second. Once we got into the reception he brought my husband and I ice packs and put them in the back of our shirt/dress. He made sure we got food, drinks, etc. Colt is amazing. The venue is BEAUTIFUL! Everyone told me how amazing the venue was and the food was so good. The cake was absolutely amazing. The DJ was amazing! We had the best time. I can’t recommend Jordan Springs Estate enough. You won’t be disappointed.

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.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Both indoor and outdoor options
  • Offers full flexibility in setup and decor
  • Private area for the wedding party

Venue considerations

  • Couple must handle cleanup and setup

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!!!!

We couldn’t have chosen a more perfect venue for our wedding! The venue itself is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views and beautifully maintained grounds that made for the most amazing backdrop to our special day. Special thanks to the venue coordinator, Katie, who made the planning process so easy and stress-free. She was attentive, responsive, and truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. She was always available to answer any questions I had before the wedding. We met a month prior to the day to discuss the timeline of the day which helped make the day stress-free! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a dream wedding location. It was truly a day to remember! We chose Food for Thought, the in-house caterer for Earlyhouse and the food was nothing short of spectacular. The menu options were diverse and perfectly customizable to suit our tastes and dietary needs, making it easy to create a meal that all of our guests loved.

Choosing Avonlea Farms to be our wedding venue in September 2024 was the easiest decision we made while planning our wedding. Not only is it a beautiful venue, but the owners, Clint & Debbie, are wonderful. From the initial tour to our wedding day, Avonlea Farms and their staff made us feel loved, heard, and valued. During the tour, we quickly fell in love with the vintage glass greenhouse, the wedding tree with pews, and the quiet forests. As two nature-lovers, my husband and I immediately knew this was the perfect place to celebrate our love with friends & family. Over two months later, we still have guests telling us how stunning our wedding venue was. Aside from the physical venue, working with the Avonlea Farms staff was a dream. It is clear that the owners, Clint & Debbie, pour their heart and soul into the venue & their couples. Debbie is kind, hard-working, and calm. Clint is easy to communicate with, accommodating, and dedicated. The rest of the staff is just as warm, flexible, and eager to help. I could go on & one about why you should pick Avonlea Farms, but to sum it up… you won’t find a better wedding venue. From the stunning grounds to the hard-working & kind-hearted staff to the unique venue perks (“pay-it-forward” decor, “emergency day-of” kit, golf cart transportation), your wedding day is guaranteed to be a dream. Overall, my husband and I cannot recommend Avonlea Farms enough. Don’t wait, book now! We promise you won’t be disappointed.

Jack and I could not have imagined a better venue for our wedding than The Club at Glenmore in Keswick, Virginia. Growing up in Charlottesville, I knew that I wanted to get married in my hometown. Wineries are a popular choice in Charlottesville, but they are mostly located in the surrounding counties which require a long drive from hotels. Winery weddings can also require coordinating a lot of rentals (decor, tables, chairs, etc.) and finding a caterer. After researching all of the venues around Charlottesville, we chose The Club at Glenmore or many reasons. One, the beautiful and convenient location. Glenmore was conveniently located only about 10 minutes from our hotel block on Pantops which made it easy for guests and shuttles. Even though the location is close to town, it is situated inside a beautiful gated neighborhood with views of the mountains, rolling horse pastures, and well maintained golf course. So it feels like it's out in the country without actually being that far away from town! Two, the full service. Glenmore provides so much for its couples! It has an amazing on-site chef so we did not need to find a separate catering company. This was one of our main deciding factors! Couples even do the food & wine tasting at the venue which makes for a fun day trip :) Glenmore provides all of the ceremony chairs, reception chairs, tables, glassware, serving ware, flatware, etc. So we did not need to rent anything except purchase some decorations. Speaking of decorations, Glenmore has many decor pieces that we were able to use! They have arbors, prosecco walls, a boxwood wall for photo opps, votive candle and holders, charger plates, up-lights, bistro lights, etc. Three, the amenities. Getting ready spaces, ceremony locations, cocktail terrace, reception ballroom - Glenmore has it all! Glenmore has a beautiful bridal suite that the ladies in my bridal party were able to use all morning. The bridal suite has plenty of room to get ready in, hang dresses in, store decor in, and even take pictures in. There is a separate space downstairs where the guys can get ready in too! We all enjoyed spending the morning and early afternoon together in these spaces while eating breakfast and lunch prepared for by Glenmore! The space was also convenient for our vendors too. They could come and check in with me throughout the morning since I was getting ready on-site. There are many ceremony locations to choose from if you want your ceremony at Glenmore. We actually switched our ceremony location within about 2 weeks of the wedding and Glenmore was very accommodating with this switch. Finally, the beautiful ballroom was another major deciding factor for us. We had our wedding in the summer, so we knew we wanted to have the reception indoors in an air conditioned room. Four, the staff. Glenmore takes pride in providing top notch service to its clients. Kim, the event coordinator at Glenmore, helped us so much from start to finish. She walked us through the wedding process, answered the many questions we had, worked with all of our vendors, met with us for our tasting and walkthroughs, made sure that all of our requests were met, and coordinated the entire Glenmore team on our wedding day. If you are looking for a beautiful full-service wedding venue with everything including an amazing on-site caterer, top notch staff, convenient location, and gorgeous views, Glenmore is the place for you!!

Keswick Hunt Club was the perfect spot for our November 2023 Rehearsal Dinner & Welcome Reception! We had about 115 people at the welcome reception, and there was plenty of space for mingling. The wraparound porch was lovely, and having the stage there for music or a photo wall is a great addition! Arnold (the ops manager there) is wonderful, and his wife Judy and her team are availble for delicious in-house catering! If you're looking to pair it with the perfect florist who has worked there many times & knows all the ways to perfectly enhance it, go with Gregory Britt Designs (also in Keswick)!

Trump Winery 

5.0

Charlottesville, VA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,500

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.

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)

We had an absolutely incredible wedding at Eastwood in September of 2024. The views are stunning, the tent is so special and you cannot beat the location. Highly, highly recommend. The team at Eastwood is spectacular! Emma's partnership and guidance throughout the process was unparalleled. She took us up to the tent/terrace several times (more times than she needed to) as we figured out our vision for the wedding. Having the cottage on location was incredibly helpful. We were not only able to get organized in the days leading up, but also had a space for people to gather / our flower girls were able to sneak down and go down to bed a bit early too. We are so thrilled that we had our wedding at Eastwood!

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!!!

I don’t even know what to say that will convey how absolutely stunning and perfect this venue is. We had our ceremony in the pines, which was a stunning backdrop. The barn is a beautiful combination of elegant and rustic. The bridal suite was so much fun to get ready in with my bridesmaids. As incredible as the venue itself was, Whitney Lipscomb was the part of the Barn at Timber Creek that had the biggest impact on us. As the venue owner, she provided day of coordination services to us. She was SO calming–every time we talked to her, I swear my blood pressure dropped by at least 20 points–a big deal when in the middle of wedding planning. She would listen to what we wanted to do as far as decor, and she would be supportive of our ideas but also make suggestions if she thought something else might work better for our vision. We were slow in booking the farmhouse nearby for the groomsmen to get ready in and missed out, and she helped us find another location for them to get ready. She supported us through issues with some of our other vendors. The day of our wedding, she and her team were incredible. They set up the venue exactly as we had envisioned, and they anticipated needs, found solutions, and answered questions. We have absolutely 0 regrets about this venue, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an elegant wedding venue with plenty of nature and kind people.

Everything about our planning process and wedding day at Pippin Hill was simply magical. Pippin Hill truly knows how to make a wedding day smooth, seamless, and beautiful. Part of why we chose to get married at Pippin Hill was the breathtaking scenery, but also because of their many plan B options. We knew there was a chance it could rain during our outdoor wedding ceremony, and their rain option, the Veranda, is gorgeous as well. Somehow we ended up dodging Hurricane Dorian’s precipitation for our September 6th wedding and we were able to get married on the lawn with 122 of our closest family members and friends as witnesses. Davis and her team were incredible, the food was exceptional, and overall we just had the best day ever! I loved getting ready in the bridal loft with my girls. On the day-of, I honestly felt 0 stress because I knew the team at Pippin Hill would take care of everything perfectly. I enjoyed every moment of the day. These people are professionals and will put every worry that you may have to rest. I can not recommend Pippin Hill enough!

The wedding was absolutely wonderful and exactly what my daughter wanted. All our guests were well taken care of and had a great time. Mary was our coordinate and she was fantastic to work with. She helped keep us on track with all of our vendors. The wedding was before the sunset and it was pretty bright out for our guests but it was perfect for the wedding party and for pictures. We had rented a tent in case of foul weather which thankfully didn't happen. We had a cocktail hour under the tent during pictures, dinner under the wisteria and used the pavilion for dancing. I was a tad nervous about a guest count of around 125 but it worked beautifully!

The number of extras offered for this venue was impressive. She acted as the Day-Of coordinator, provided the tables and linens and parking attendants. There was room for the bridal party and groomsmen to get ready without seeing each other. I would call it the perfect venue.

Absoluetly LOVED this venue! The moment I first stepped on the property, I fell in love and *knew* this was the place my husband and I were going to get married. Angela and her staff set everything up just the way I wanted it, and it went so smoothly! There are *so* many different options of locations to have the ceremony. Due Sorelle provides plenty of tables and chairs, and the staff will set them up for you - one less thing for you to have to worry about on your big day! I also loved that we had access to the barn the night before the wedding so I could set up the reception and not have to worry about finding someone to do that the morning of. Angela was a bit confusing to communicate with at times? Just some random things here and there - asking for details, scheduling things, and some either miscommunication or lack thereof. She was super sweet! I had just wished the communication process were a little smoother. Overall I loved Due Sorelle and would absolutely recommend it to anyone!
