Palmyra, VA

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!!!!

Nestled on 13.6 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds, Boxwood Villa exudes an old-world charm that will transport you to a bygone era of elegance and sophistication. This garden wedding venue and historic property is named after the stunning boxwood bushes that encircle it, creating a magical and romantic atmosphere. One of the most romantic wedding venues in Virginia, Boxwood Villa was originally built in 1891 and is located just outside the town of Orange, Virginia. It is an idyllic backdrop for weddings, offering an intimate and exclusive setting for couples looking for a unique and unforgettable experience. The delicate architecture of the house exudes elegance and charm, with spacious grounds that feature lush gardens and towering trees that are perfect for outdoor ceremonies and receptions. With its blend of traditional elegance and contemporary amenities, Boxwood Villa is an ideal choice for couples looking for a truly magical venue.

We had our wedding at Boxwood Villa on May 4, 2024, and it was completely perfect. Our family from out of town came a few days early to get settled and prepare, and there was plenty of space for us to spread out and also to hang out together. The beds were insanely comfortable and the accommodations were amazing. While we planned to have the ceremony on the front lawn, the rain had other plans and the team jumped into action and was ready to host our 30 guests on the spacious, gorgeous covered porch. The cocktail hour was held on the first level, and the beautiful house made for some incredible photo opportunities. The lawn was the most amazing place for the tent where our reception was held, and it was just as magical as everywhere else. Everyone commented on how perfect the venue was, including my family. I can't wait to visit again in the future to re-live these incredible memories. Thank you, Boxwood Villa!!!

The plantation grounds feature three carefully restored, 18th-century properties, each tastefully and meticulously appointed for all your event needs.

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?!

Charles City, VA
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Raw space
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $10,000

Nestled in the peaceful, rolling farmlands of Charles City, Open Air The Glebe is only 30 minutes from Richmond or Williamsburg. This 10 acre farm features a historic home, scenic tree-lined drive, multiple barns, and a large tented patio. You can have your rehearsal dinner in the Tractor Pavilion, host your wedding reception under our 60'x90' tent, continue celebrating with an after-party--or whatever you like for a day, or for a long weekend. Our philosophy is that a celebration should reflect the vision, the culture, the traditions of each couple, therefore we allow you to hire the vendors that you choose (the day should not reflect our tastes and that of our "preferred list" of vendors/friends). The Events Team of Open Air The Glebe has over 50 combined years working in the event industry, therefore you also get the benefit of all the experience and resources that we have. Whatever you desire, we can make it happen!

Awarded Best of Zola
Beautiful, historic home at Open Air. The grounds and large, old trees make this venue such a beautiful backdrop. And it's so Virginia! Use of house, barn, and, of course, the back yard with large brick patio and tent make this perfect for any size gathering. Michelle, Steve, and Patti have been so accommodating and have wonderful, helpful ideas for the space. Grateful we have a few extra days to set up for our wedding and don't have to hurry to break the reception all down. It has been a pleasure to work with the Open Air staff.
