James River Country Club 

5.0

Newport News, VA
  • Up to 300 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

Romance and elegance await you at James River Country Club. Let us provide you with the fairy tale wedding you’ve always imagined. Exchanging your vows on the beach with the sun setting in the background, or a formal ceremony in our Formal Ballroom or the Oldest Golf Museum in the world can provide an alternative to more traditional ceremony venues. While you are taking photographs with your wedding party and family, your guests can be enjoying cocktails and hors d’oeuvres with panoramic views of the James River.

We had our wedding there last month, a small one with 60 guests. Tiffanie was great coordinating everything, she is very knowledgeable and always made me feel like there was nothing to worry about and it wasn’t, everything went perfect, very smooth and she really took care of every detail without me or my family having to worry. The staff are great, friendly, professional and they always looked happy to take care of our guests. I also work in the hospitality industry, and I was impressed. The food was delicious, we opted for a plated dinner with 3 choices plus a vegan one for a couple of guests and every single one was great. Bartender was also on point and my guests were very happy about that. Now about the venue itself, it’s beautiful, we had the ceremony outside by the water and reception indoors at the ballroom, the bridal suit is great, it has a lot of space for everyone to get ready and access to everything we could possibly need. It is a busy place with a lot of members so there is a chance of other events to be happening at the same time but trust me when I say you won’t even notice, they do a great job with scheduling and keeping events separated.

Kiln Creek Golf Club And Resort 

5.0

Newport News, VA
  • Up to 220 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $8,000

IMAGINE... Having your special day at our newly renovated resort: Kiln Creek Golf Club and Resort. Your guests will love that they were a part of your special day. Kiln Creek Golf Club and Resort is the ideal location to host your next event. Your guests will be that they overjoyed that they are only steps away from their beautifully renovated hotel rooms that capture the essence of rest and relaxation. They will be in awe of the beauty of the resort and the beautification of the community and trails around them. Here at Kiln Creek Golf Club and Resort our guests can nourish themselves with our in-house catering, enjoy a round or two of golf, take a swim or lounge by the outdoor pool, exercise in our new fitness facility, play a game of tennis, and dine at our NEW restaurant, NEST Kitchen & Taphouse during their stay.

As I write this review, I am reminded of all of the stressful thoughts a bride goes through as she plans her big day with the love of her life, and then I remember how great it was that I found the best location and person to work with to coordinate our big day! Ruthanne and her entire event staff at Kiln Creek Golf Club & Resort deserve all of the love and recognition for helping to orchestrate a seamless event from start to finish. I was unfamiliar with venues in this area, and my now husband and I searched from the Outer Banks to Newport News to find something that fit our vision and price point, and Kiln Creek did all of that. For both of us, it was important that the venue gave us that "This is it" feeling! All of the venues we looked at in Suffolk, Norfolk, and VA Beach were just missing something. Then Kiln Creek Golf Club & Resort popped up on my searches and I am sure glad it did! Ruthanne went out of her way to make sure all of my questions were answered and that she saw my vision properly for the big day. That is what was so amazing, that she puts every bride’s vision as a huge priority and she was there to make sure we set up times to meet to go over everything in fine detail. She even added extra special touches because she wanted to, and they were perfect. We stayed at the Lodge, ate at the Nest for dinner one evening prior to the event as well as breakfast the day after the wedding, and the rooms were spacious, beds comfortable and food was delicious! Shout out to Jordan, Christine, Crystal and all of the other amazing servers and staff on location! My husband and I had the most amazing day of our lives! All thanks to Ruthanne and her amazing team, from the chef, to the recommended vendors, who were equally awesome, for seeing my vision and making sure everything came together, perfectly! Thank you, Ruthanne and all of the staff at Kiln Creek!

The Hound's Tale Kitchen 

5.0

Williamsburg, VA
  • Up to 60 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

The Hound's Tale Kitchen offers a charming and intimate setting for weddings, perfect for couples seeking a cozy and unique venue. With its warm ambiance and exceptional culinary offerings, the venue creates a memorable experience for guests. Personalized service and attention to detail ensure that every aspect of your celebration is flawlessly executed. Whether you’re hosting a small gathering or a slightly larger reception, The Hound's Tale Kitchen provides a delightful and inviting backdrop for your special day.

Want to thank Michelle, Natalie, and their staff for pulling off a flawless company dinner at the Hounds Tale Kitchen. They made it easy by first proposing some menu ideas. Then we met with them once to get a layout of the space and brainstormed more options. Once the menu was set, we basically just showed up at the date and time of the scheduled event. What made it refreshing was that it did not feel nickel and dimed, my team didn't have to set up, or break it all down. The space is fun with huge pictures originated by a local artist, Bob Oller, filling the wall space. The colors in the space are exhilarating. We had a group of 24 and their team was able to pull together two long tables of 12 with high tops around the room. There was plenty of room to fit everyone with space to spare. Their catering served on time and the food was wonderful. The Hounds Tale Kitchen does have a projector and screen if you want to show a presentation and, basically, have your all-day event in the same space. I would definitely recommend the Hounds Tale Kitchen for your event.

The Maine of Williamsburg Weddings and Events Venue opened in October of 2021 in Williamsburg, VA. Located 7 miles from historic Colonial Williamsburg, the venue grounds are surrounded by trees providing a private, tranquil environment. The venue offers beautiful indoor and outdoor settings, as well as two wedding party dressing suites. A warming kitchen is available to accommodate any approved caterers. Tables, chairs, benches, a dance floor, and arch are included in the venue rentals. The Maine of Williamsburg team sets up the space according to your desired layout and remains onsite throughout all events to assist in creating an exceptional wedding experience for all.

The Maine of Williamsburg was a dream to wedding plan at and the staff were more than accommodating to plan with. After booking The Maine in June 2022, we finally had our picture perfect day this May 2024. The day was beautiful and all of our vendors were amazing. Tracy and her staff at The Maine are very understanding about the inconsistencies with event planning, and we’re more very helpful recommending vendors that were familiar with the space. If I chose to use an outside vendor, the staff easily worked with my preferred vendors to establish the necessary contacts and paperwork. Overall, my planning process was stress free knowing I had a gorgeous venue with a beautiful outdoor ceremony space, including microphones and speakers, and a well maintained interior for an inside reception. There was plenty of space for my guests. The bathrooms were well kept, with plenty available to accommodate my 130 guests. Also, the interior of the facilities are nice and COOL—the AC was much needed after a hot and humid spring wedding. No amount of praise for Tracy and her staff will ever feel like enough. Book The Maine NOW, if you want to have the wedding, or event, of your dreams.

Awarded Best of Zola
We recently got married at Gala 417, and the entire experience was fantastic! The venue is absolutely breathtaking, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how stunning everything was. Working with the Gala 417 team, especially Sarah and Lyndsey, made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. They were incredibly responsive and attentive, always quick to answer questions and ensure that our wedding day vision came to life in a way that felt uniquely ours. Lyndsey, our day-of coordinator, was amazing! She handled everything flawlessly throughout the morning and early afternoon, and we truly appreciated how well-organized and professional she was. Even though there were a couple of small bumps after her departure, such as the DJ needing a reminder for speeches, and a few of our selected beer options running out earlier than expected, the staff still managed to keep everything running smoothly. To future brides, I would recommend clearly emphasizing any specific beverage preferences during your catering and blueprint meetings if you or your guests have favorites to avoid any disappointments. We were especially excited about the food after trying it at our catering meeting—it was delicious, and we even bragged to our guests about it! However, on the day of the wedding, the food served was bland and inconsistently prepared. We had requested steaks to be cooked medium, but after the fact, many of our guests shared that their filets ranged from rare to well-done, with some even mentioning gristle or fat in the cut—which shouldn’t happen with a filet. This was a bit disappointing, especially considering how much we were looking forward to the meal. Overall, Gala 417 went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable. We would absolutely recommend this venue to future couples—between the gorgeous space and the dedication of the staff, our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. We are so grateful to the entire Gala 417 team for making our day so special!

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.
