We hosted a micro wedding at Hotel Petersburg and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. The ceremony was held in the beautifully restored Cockade Room, followed by a rooftop cocktail hour and an afterparty in the moody and unforgettable Boiler Room. Every space was stunning and thoughtfully designed. The staff was phenomenal—Erika and Savannah were a dream to work with, making every detail feel effortless. Chef Mina and Chef Wes truly impressed our guests with food that was as delicious as it was beautifully presented. The entire team was warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. We also booked a block of rooms for our guests, who found their stays comfortable and memorable. I wholeheartedly recommend Hotel Petersburg for anyone planning a private event—it’s a hidden gem with an unbeatable blend of history, hospitality, and charm.

They were so efficient in loading and unloading that we were able to get out of there early.

This 10 acre farm features a historic home, scenic tree-lined drive, multiple barns, and a large tented patio.

Whatever you desire, we can make it happen!

At the end of June 2025, my daughter held her wedding reception at Historic Jasmine. (We had purchased the Weekend Destination package, so my daughter and MANY of her friends enjoyed overnights at Historic Jasmine on Friday and Saturday with the main event held on Saturday.) If I could rate Historic Jasmine with 100 stars I would! From Day One of inquiring about Historic Jasmine, its manager, Ashton, was absolutely FANTASTIC! He remained that way throughout the ENTIRETY of the process as well as AFTERWARDS! Ashton's replies were ALWAYS incredibly prompt and thorough. He picked up on "implied tasks" and provided responses to those as well. He provided input to questions I asked that had nothing to do with Historic Jasmine but with weddings and receptions in general. He spent plenty of time with my daughter and me working out the details. He was ALWAYS willing to help and he always did! Ashton is the face of this family-run business. His fine character and stellar attitude epitomized that of his mom, dad, and brother who work so diligently behind the scenes, most often without notice. I am not exaggerating when I say, "The entire family is AMAZING, truly amazing!" (When I met the dad and brother, I felt as if I were speaking with Ashton! :)) Without doubt, Historic Jasmine reflects this family's time, effort, and attention to create a PHENOMENAL venue! It is a STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL place, outside and inside! GORGEOUS, VIBRANT landscaping surrounded by woods outside - historical and nostalgic decor inside mixed with modern conveniences (to include abundant bathrooms) - are at the ready to warmly welcome guests. Our caterer - Edwards Catering - was thrilled to learn we had contracted with Historic Jasmine. He has catered there for more than 15 years and greatly appreciates its setup for his services. Speaking of food, I am reminded that my daughter and her friends were pleasantly surprised to find coffee and breakfast items awaiting them in the kitchen in the morning - we did not know such was part of the weekend package so they were thrilled to discover such! I could go on and on about our positive experiences with Historic Jasmine! I will summarize by saying, in my opinion, having checked out a plethora of venues, Historic Jasmine was and is THE ABSOLUTE BEST VENUE! Without question, it is a reflection of the family who runs it, also THE ABSOLUTE BEST!

Selecting The Estate at River Run as our wedding venue was the single best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. It wasn't just a venue; it felt like home and provided the perfect backdrop for one of the most important days of our lives. From our engagement photos to our rehearsal dinner and the wedding day itself, this stunning estate was a dream. We opted for the Friday early access package in addition to the overnight package, and it made all the difference. We got access to the Estate at 2pm on Friday and my bridesmaids and I were able to stay the night before, which transformed the wedding morning into a truly relaxing and joyous experience. We were able to handle all the final preparations on Friday, leaving Saturday morning completely stress-free. The true magic of this venue, however, lies with Kim and her team. They are, without a doubt, the best in the business. Their kindness, professionalism, incredible attention to detail, and seamless organization are unmatched. They truly think of everything, anticipating needs before you even realize you have them. Their guidance and support were a genuine blessing, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment. The venue itself is breathtaking, offering so many different and beautiful locations for all the various events. It is truly a place where memories are not just made, but treasured. We are so incredibly grateful to The Estate at River Run for hosting our special day. It was everything we could have ever wanted and more.
