Lake Como in Richmond, Virginia
Dover Hall made all of my wedding dreams come true. I really wanted a Lake Como, European estate vibe for our wedding. I never thought it would be possible, especially in the Richmond area but Dover proved us wrong. Dover Hall was the first and ONLY venue we toured after getting engaged. We have received endless compliments on not only our venue choice, but the staff and ESPECIALLY the food. Emily, Wendy, and Chef Leah worked with us during the whole planning process to ensure we were satisfied with everything. The entire staff is extremely accommodating, kind, patient, and helpful with everything. They are so knowledgeable and really walk you through the entire process. I have never been to an American style wedding before so I had no idea what I was doing but they were extremely understanding and held my hand throughout the last almost 2 years. We also really wanted to incorporate Thai and Korean dishes with our reception and Chef Leah was able to collaborate with us to create delicious options for our guests. We wish we could go back everyday and relive it all over again, Dover Hall is truly one of a kind and such a beautiful place-- we are so happy with our choice.
A dream wedding venue
There aren't enough words to describe how perfect Dover Hall was as both a venue and a caterer. It is truly a fairytale property that happens to be in an extremely convenient location. Their service as well as their food is absolutely top notch. While every member of the staff we met was incredibly nice and helpful, we wanted to give special shout outs to Emily, Sylvia, Charlotte, Jeff, and of course Chef Leah!
Jess & Justin Wedding - March 2024
The second we saw Dover Hall online, and then especially in person, we knew it was the venue for us. The staff, the facility, the food, the service, the attention to detail... all flawless! Twelve hours at this place is no where near enough. We loved our experience with Dover Hall from start to finish. The planning was seamless, the service was top-tier, the attention to detail was impeccable... and so much more. We are still in awe of our wedding day spent at this spectacular venue. Our friends, family, and wedding team still go on about what a day it was! If we could do it all over again (which I wish we could), we'd do it all at Dover Hall! Thank you to our DH team for making our dream wedding into reality!
We love Dover Hall!
Having our wedding at Dover Hall was amazing from start to finish. From the moment my fiancé and I stepped foot on the grounds, we were welcomed with kindness and support. We worked with Rachel and Stephanie specifically, but I can confidently say that every member of the team made sure that our wedding was exactly what we were hoping for and made the planning process very easy by being open and honest with pricing, incredibly responsive when needed, and unwavering in their support. Our wedding day was flawless. The team executed every detail perfectly from the spaces for us to get ready in throughout the day, the ceremony and reception floor plans, incredible food and stocked bar, and even created a private dinner for my fiancé and I to enjoy while our stationed-style dinner for our guests took place. Our guests were blown away, too. We would not have changed a single thing about our day and cannot recommend Dover Hall more. So professional, organized, and just all around amazing!
