Welcome to Solara Ridge—where wide-open skies, mountain views, and blooming fields set the stage for weddings that feel a little more magical and a lot less ordinary. Perched on 59 acres of rolling Virginia countryside, our glass house venue was built with one big idea: your wedding shouldn’t shut you off from the beauty around you. Instead, the mountains, trees, and sky become part of your day—from the “I do’s” all the way to the last dance. But Solara Ridge isn’t just a venue—it’s a working flower farm and tree nursery cared for by our family. That means the land is alive and changing with the seasons, giving your celebration an authentic, natural backdrop (and endless photo opportunities). Think sunsets over the ridges, dinner under twinkle lights, and laughter that carries across the fields. That’s Solara Ridge: a place where nature doesn’t just surround your wedding—it’s woven right into it.

“We used the Star View Room as our cast and production home base for an independent film shoot in September at the Can Company Warehouse property, and we loved it! The hardwood floors, beautiful large windows, and views of Roanoke and the mountains give the space so much character, alongside the charm of the historic property. There was more than enough room for our cast to rehearse choreography, keep their belongings, and enjoy meals between scenes, with plenty of space for production equipment as well. Having bathrooms right beside the room and easily accessible parking made the day even smoother. It’s a spacious, picturesque room that I could easily see being a lovely setting for a gathering or celebration!”

“I genuinely cannot say enough wonderful things about The Seclusion! From the breathtaking mountain views to the extraordinary attention to detail, this venue is an absolute gem. But what truly sets it apart is the incredible people behind it, who went above and beyond to make our wedding everything we envisioned (and trust me, we had some pretty unconventional ideas!). The property itself is STUNNING. Tucked away on sprawling private acreage, it feels like your own little slice of paradise. Our outdoor ceremony took place atop a hill with the mountains stretching out behind us, and I truly cannot imagine a more spectacular backdrop. The grounds are beautifully landscaped with gorgeous trees, charming outdoor art, cozy firepits, and thoughtfully designed spaces that flow effortlessly into one another. The reception space is equally spectacular! Rather than the stark, cookie-cutter aesthetic of so many venues, The Seclusion has this wonderful blend of old-world charm, eclectic elegance, and understated luxury. Every piece of furniture, antique accent, and decorative detail feels intentionally curated. It's sophisticated and upscale without sacrificing an ounce of warmth or comfort. The getting-ready spaces were also incredibly thoughtful! The bridal loft above the reception hall was adorable and comfortable, with cozy couches, styling stations, and plenty of room for food and festivities. Being able to sneak upstairs to freshen up during the reception was an unexpected bonus! The groomsmen had their own separate cottage with a masculine, vintage railway-lounge vibe and outdoor fireplace. Close enough for convenience, but far enough away to keep us separated. The gorgeous on-site Airbnb was another fantastic perk, particularly for older family members who appreciated somewhere nearby to retreat and recharge. But as spectacular as the property is, the owners are what made our experience truly exceptional. They are some of the kindest, most genuine, down-to-earth people you could hope to work with. They were consistently responsive, accommodating, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping us create a wedding that reflected who we are. And when I say accommodating, I mean they enthusiastically embraced my plans to RIDE MY HORSE INTO THE CEREMONY and make our grand exit on a DIRT BIKE! They even took the time to meet with us beforehand so I could bring my horse out to practice. Rather than treating our unusual requests as inconveniences, they seemed genuinely excited to help make them happen. I never felt like we were being squeezed into someone else's idea of what a wedding should look like. They wanted ours to be exactly what we dreamed of, however unconventional that might be! The only thing worth mentioning is that the venue is a bit of a trek down country roads, and cell service can be spotty until you reach the property. That said, the drive is absolutely worth it, and the seclusion is part of what makes this place so magical! It's clear that an immense amount of thought, care, and love has gone into every corner of the property, and that same care extends to the couples who celebrate there. Choosing The Seclusion was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. If you're looking for jaw-dropping scenery, impeccable attention to detail, and owners who genuinely care about making your vision come to life, LOOK NO FURTHER. I would choose them again in a heartbeat!”

The Carolyn Baldwin Lake Pavilion is named after our dear loved one, Carolyn Varner Baldwin, who unexpectedly passed away in 2008 due to an allergic reaction. She was the matriarch of our family and a beautiful, one-in-a-billion type of person with a generous and loving spirit. She was a talented gardener, a devoted fisherwoman who could out-fish the best of 'em (we're talking "sun-up-til-sundown" kind of fishing), was creative and artsy, and never knew a stranger. We felt it only fitting to name this lovely place in her memory. We are a family-operated business. Joanna is the General Manager and works with each client to accommodate varying event needs. She handles a wide range of aspects of the business, from answering questions about what will make your event run smoothly to giving you layout suggestions. She has worked with over 200 wedding & event clients over the last 10 years and has learned quite a bit about weddings & event planning through her experiences.
