I was SO happy to get be able to get my wedding date here! The planning that went into our wedding was astonishing. Isabelle and her team blew my mind with everything that was done for us. They had every last detail planned and it was amazing to see it all put together. I would have paid triple for what we paid for the planning and venue, it was that good. I never thought I needed a planner for my wedding but HIRE A PLANNER. It allowed us and our family to completely relax and not have to worry. Not only the planning but the venue, WOW. It was so so beautiful and convenient. Everything is on one property so there wasn’t extra traveling for our guests. And we stayed in the house the days prior to the wedding which eased my mind and allowed me to settle beforehand. I can’t say enough about how stunning our wedding was and how meticulous the planning was. Book it before you regret, I would do it over 100x.

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.

"When I tell you that I researched over 90 different venues in the VA/MD/DC/PA/WV area that matched my husband and I's parameters when we were looking for a wedding venue, it should give you a pretty good idea what kind of competition Avon Hill Lodge was up against when we chose them for our March 2023 wedding. I had been dreaming about my wedding day for 20 years and had a very specific vision of what that would look like. Before I even stepped foot at Avon Hill, I was crossing my fingers that my husband and I would love it in person as much as we did online. The barn is absolutely stunning. The views at sunset? Out of this world! Getting the venue the entire weekend, getting to stay on site without panicking over transportation, cleaning up all your decor at midnight, or having to rush to see your closest friends and family before they head back to their respective hotels? Sign me up! But Sarah and Jocelyn really give you a sense of the soul of the place. From the initial emails, in person meetings, and site visits, they were always so pleasant, kind, and quick to answer any and all questions I had. I felt like I was planning this event with extended family! They were so incredibly accommodating and you could tell they genuinely care about each and every couple they have on site! My whole wedding party felt so comfortable all weekend. Your wedding day is gone in the blink of an eye, so every precious hour over the fire pit making smores, or drinking a cup of coffee with your siblings the day before the insanity starts is not to be overlooked! We even wound up booking the main lodge Thursday night, giving us precious time with some of our family and time to get settled in. We are already trying to figure out how to come back for more family reunions and other events in the future, just to experience the Avon Hill hospitality again! "

Trump Winery 

5.0

Charlottesville, VA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $7,000

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.

My husband and I chose Trump Winery for our wedding venue because we wanted a chapel for the ceremony and a barn for the reception. Luckily, Trump Winery had both, so best of both worlds! We are very happy with our decision because some guests danced on the dance floor while others went outside on the patio to talk and enjoy the winery views. It can be difficult to talk while there's music blasting. Beth Zitzman, the Events Manager at Trump Winery, was very helpful and friendly from the venue tour to throughout the wedding planning process to the day of the wedding. Trump Winery does have strict vendor rules. One being the caterer has to be a vendor from their Preferred Vendor List, which is listed on the contract. The other vendors don't have to be from the Preferred Vendor List, but they have to be approved by Beth after the vendor fills out two vendor forms and adds Trump Winery as an additional insured company on their certificate of insurance. This process wasn't too bad as all the vendors I chose that weren't on Trump's Preferred Vendor List got approved. For a sparklers exit, Trump Winery requires galvanized buckets and sand for the used sparklers. Trump Winery also requires a day of coordinator. Cody Smith was my day of coordinator and she's the best! She's very familiar with Trump Winery and has been in the wedding industry for years. Cody is so on top of things and responds really quickly to emails and texts. She made my wedding absolutely seamless! All my guests told me they really enjoyed the wedding and the venue was wonderful. I was awestruck when I saw all my photos, beautiful and classic venue!

Second Stage 
Amherst, VA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor

Amherst is a community arts center and event space. It is a hub for the arts, small businesses, and community groups.. The facility can be leased for community events, musical performances, parties, weddings, and more. The old Amherst Baptist Church was the home of that church's congregation until 2005. Its sanctuary was constructed in 1882, making it the second oldest religious structure still standing in the Town of Amherst. Starting in 2012, a grassroots group took the initiative to save a historic structure in the heart of Amherst, VA, and to re-purpose it as a creative community center. Located in the middle of a vibrant village, the goal was to provide a gathering place for events. The class architecture and details of this circa 1880s historic building is sure to compliment any theme. The antique checkerboard flooring adds a touch of eclectic flair. The building also features two separate dressing/staging areas as well as a full catering kitchen.
