Virginia’s House is the west valley’s first boutique event venue. Opened in 1998 as a long-time dream of owner, Natalie Stahl – Virginia’s House has been the location for countless life celebrations.

We have also hosted several foundation fundraisers, corporate holiday events, charter/private school proms and craft boutiques. Our hearts belong to our first responders and military personnel. We offer discount rates and can accommodate event planning from across the globe. We’ll be YOUR boots on the ground, as we appreciate yours.

Virginia’s House is the absolute best! It has historically quaint charm and an absolute wonder of a planner, Natalie! It is family owned an operated as well, which adds to the personal touch of working with a team you know cares about you and what you want. I have hosted multiple events here and referred friends. From start to finish Natalie is there; she is a true confidant in the process and can bring your visions to life. The venue also includes everything you need to make your dream wedding, shower, celebration a success. From planning, decor, day of coordination, and take down. It’s all in one place! They also work with amazing preferred vendors, that have been tried and tested from them personally. From weddings; showers, celebrations, you can be rest assured this team will be with you the whole way. Now to the real stuff, you will hear places say they work with your budget, or the initial package is priced well but then there are extras at an extra cost. Not here. You get up front, inclusive pricing for your event. It is by far the most cost effective venue. Usually you hear cost effective and you think cheap or you don’t get as much, so not the case here. Personally I think you get way more than you pay for, and that’s why I keep coming back and keep referring people to it. That dream wedding on a budget you are dreaming of? Possible, all with Virginia’s House.
