Nestled in the peaceful, rolling farmlands of Charles City, Open Air The Glebe is only 30 minutes from Richmond or Williamsburg. This 10 acre farm features a historic home, scenic tree-lined drive, multiple barns, and a large tented patio. You can have your rehearsal dinner in the Tractor Pavilion, host your wedding reception under our 60'x90' tent, continue celebrating with an after-party--or whatever you like for a day, or for a long weekend. Our philosophy is that a celebration should reflect the vision, the culture, the traditions of each couple, therefore we allow you to hire the vendors that you choose (the day should not reflect our tastes and that of our "preferred list" of vendors/friends). The Events Team of Open Air The Glebe has over 50 combined years working in the event industry, therefore you also get the benefit of all the experience and resources that we have. Whatever you desire, we can make it happen!

We HIGHLY recommend Open Air The Glebe! We got married here in spring 2026. Michelle's service, professionalism, administrative ability, and can-do attitude to help us with the planning was phenomenal. The flexibility and support of the owners to allow us to have a large wedding with a lot of different activities was invaluable. It is extremely helpful that they are connected with Williamsburg Event Rentals! The facilities and ambience of the outdoor space was just beautiful. Cannot give a higher review!

We were honored to be the first wedding at the Herring Creek House and I knew everything was going to be perfect from my history with the property owners and their Director of Events. It lived up to everything we hoped it would. They worked really hard to make everything just right for the couple. The attention to detail in creating the spaces and their customer service were spot on. We had a wonderful weekend and are so thankful for everyone at the Herring Creek House for making it amazing.

Burlington Weddings & Events was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first spoke with Madison, her communication was effective, efficient, and always pleasant. The venue itself was gorgeous, with a timeless feel that was worth every penny. Despite some tricky wind conditions trying to ruin our decor, Madison and the team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. They were so efficient in loading and unloading that we were able to get out of there early. While their services may come at a premium price, you truly get what you pay for with the amazing team and stunning venue they provide. We couldn't be happier with our decision to host our special day at Burlington Weddings & Events.

We hosted a black-tie winter wedding (late February) with the Estate at River Run (ERR) and were blown away by the event. One of the biggest draws for us with ERR was the venue’s ability to accommodate both indoor and outdoor ceremonies and receptions with gorgeous locations for each. This allowed us to plan for an indoor ceremony but flex to an outdoor ceremony the week of the wedding to take advantage of good weather! Several months after our wedding we still have friends and family telling us how gorgeous the venue was! ERR did a wonderful job communicating during the planning process and ensuring we knew what they needed from us to host a successful event. The staff and security during the event were wonderful, the venue itself was an absolute fairytale for our wedding day. If you are looking for a venue that can host a black-tie event in central VA or the greater Richmond area, please consider ERR!

Candice did a wonderful job appeasing any concerns I had before booking with them for my wedding for both hair and makeup services for me and 2 bridal party members. During my consult Brittany was also able to ease my skins/ makeup concerns. I felt so at ease throughout the entire process with Society 11:11 – from inquiry to when I was sitting in the makeup chair on my wedding day! Brittany helped fulfill exactly what my vision for my bridal look was, and it was everything AND MORE! I felt like a princess especially since my wedding dress was a ball gown as well!

The Workshop was everything I hoped for in a wedding venue — a true blank canvas that allowed me to bring my personal style to life. Kerith was incredibly helpful from the start, clearly outlining what was already available in the space (tables, linens, chairs, hurricanes, and more) and what could be customized. I chose to rent and bring in a few items of my own to complete the look I envisioned, and Kerith was supportive every step of the way — even helping with some of the custom touches herself. What really sets The Workshop apart is its flexibility. Weddings aren’t one-size-fits-all, and having access to a variety of décor options already on-site made it so much easier to create a celebration that felt uniquely ours. Even better — so many of these items were included in the rental, which helped us stay within budget without sacrificing style. Kerith is clearly building something special: a community-centered space where people can celebrate life’s biggest moments without breaking the bank. In a world where weddings can quickly become overwhelming and expensive, it’s refreshing to see a venue that encourages sharing and sustainability. I truly believe more brides should be talking about spaces like this. The Workshop isn’t just a venue; it’s part of a movement to make beautiful events more accessible for everyone.

I've had the privilege of working alongside Armando a couple times under both my company and others, and it is a great experience every single time! He is fun, easy to talk to, upbeat, not to mention quite skilled at his craft too. I am almost always behind the camera and not in front of it, but I can tell that his personality and presence makes couples comfortable in front of the lens whether they're used to it or not, which is so incredibly valuable, your footage will always come out looking better if you are comfortable. Added bonus - he is tall, so he'll get those high angles that not everybody can manage to get, haha! I highly recommend him, no question

French Honey Hospitality was absolutely amazing for our wedding. We had some hiccups in the planning process regarding bartending services and deciding what we wanted to do for this. We worked with Maegan, she came in and answered any and all questions we had and quickly sold us on her bartending services with how kind and caring she was about our special day. We spoke with Maegan multiple times regarding specialty cocktails to fit our theme and she absolutely nailed every signature drink based off the creative names we gave her. Her imagination for cocktails was astounding and you can tell she really cares about the drinks she prepares and is willing to push the envelope for your special drinks. On wedding day, Maegan was very friendly towards everyone and was very professional. She showed up early enough to have everything prepped and ready to go by cocktail hour. She also has her own bar that looks stunning and really adds to the vibes to the cocktail hour bar. We felt that Maegan and her husband took care of our guests and ensured that they had a great time. They made a beautiful menu to display all the drinks being provided which helps the guests know what to drink! I remember one of my favorite moments of the night after I had multiple drinks, Maegan hand delivered some liquid IV and water bottles to me which was very much appreciated. If you are looking for bartending services, I cannot recommend French Honey Hospitality enough. Maegan was always very responsive and receptive to our vision. They have a variety of extra services that can elevate your wedding to the next level.

Alyse was extremely punctual, professional and we cannot thank her enough for making the day that much more special.

Hali was AMAZING as our day-of coordinator for our outdoor wedding at Maymont. We woke up the morning of our wedding to rain in the forecast and naturally freaked out, but Hali kept us grounded and had everything under control! She worked day-of with our vendors to move our ceremony into our reception venue, and all we had to do was inform our guests of the new plan. I cannot imagine how much work it was in such a short time period. Once we got to the venue, the rest of our wedding day was shockingly relaxing - my husband and I spent the whole wedding being in the moment together. Hali and Alyssa handled everything - and also set up the reception area beautifully! She also handled most conversations with vendors in the months leading up to our wedding. My husband and I both have very busy jobs, and I truly don't know what we would have done if we didn't have her in the planning. I really think that if we hadn't hired Hali, we would have been overcome with stress on our big day, and I'm so glad we were able to truly enjoy it with her help. She is always on top of the details, communicative, and also very gentle and kind. Did I mention she was in her third trimester when we got married?? She's a superwoman, and one in a million. So happy we chose Forevermore weddings for our big day :)

We cannot recommend Anthony (DJ Ant Boogie) highly enough! From the planning process through the last song of the night, Anthony was an absolute pleasure to work with and played a huge role in making our wedding such a fun and memorable celebration. One of the things we appreciated most was how well he understood our vibe. He took the time to learn our musical preferences and seamlessly incorporated our favorite songs throughout the night. The dance floor was packed, and guests of all ages had an amazing time. Anthony was also an excellent MC. His announcements were clear, professional, and helped keep the day running smoothly without ever feeling intrusive. We had multiple locations throughout our venue that required music, and he transitioned between each one effortlessly. Everything from the ceremony to cocktail hour and the reception flowed perfectly. Beyond his talent as a DJ, Anthony was organized, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the planning process. It was clear that he genuinely cared about creating an experience that felt personal to us. If you're looking for a DJ who can keep the energy high, read the room, and create an unforgettable atmosphere, we wholeheartedly recommend Anthony and DJ Ant Boogie. We are so grateful he was part of our wedding day. Kayla & Roy

Cheers Mobile Bartending

Let’s just talk about it. You spend months (sometimes years) planning your wedding - the colors, the outfits, the chargers, every little detail. But the place people gather, meet, and spend the most time? The bar. And somehow that’s the part people overlook. A great bartender sets the tone for the whole night. At Cheers, we actually care. We take time to get to know you, show up ready to celebrate with your people, and make sure the bar adds to the energy of the night - not takes away from it. Your wedding deserves that. Love y’all.

Cheers! Our bartenders were amazing—friendly, professional, and a joy to work with. They poured wonderful drinks and brought a cute, cohesive aesthetic with their glassware and setup. They provided all the mixers while we supplied the alcohol, which made everything seamless and easy. We also provided an extra bar, and they were so accommodating in working with us so we could use the thrifted bar my mom and I found. It was perfect having two bars—one on the lawn and one under the tent—which helped everything flow smoothly. They were very open and kind, and even attended our wedding walkthrough, which we truly loved and appreciated. Our guests had a great experience, and everything ran so well thanks to their team.

Hi, I'm David, a Virginia-based photographer. Unlike many photographers, my introduction to the art of photo taking initially started off purely by accident. I believe everything happens for a reason and I am very thankful to be in the position I am in today.

David was awesome to work with. He was very professional and communicated with me throughout the planning process and during the wedding. My husband and I had no idea about how we wanted to pose for pictures but David was on top of everything. My pictures came out beautiful! I will definitely be working with him in the future.

We love the look and quality of their photos and the affordable price of the photo / video package. They were very quick with responding which is super helpful when you’re emailing a million people at a time during wedding planning and planning and prep with the Inman’s was easy and efficient. Our photos are BEAUTIFUL! They capture the charm of the venue, the joy from all our family and friends, and the love between my husband and I. We also received our photos SO quickly and got to browse through them on our honeymoon which was amazing. The Inmans were knowledgeable, professional, and created a very enjoyable experience. They’re young and hip and really understand what couples want from their wedding photos & videos these days. Wedding day was perfect! Not to mention Ashley was pregnant and still didn’t miss a beat all day!!

Autumn’s Catering company catered my wedding on 8/6/2023. The food was amazing and flavorful. The cocktail hour and dessert display were beautiful. I especially loved the various types of cheeses for the cocktail hours. The customer service was outstanding, everyone was so friendly and helpful. I loved the care and kindness everyone on the team had for us making sure all the details were perfect from the food displays to helping fluff my dress before I walked down the aisle. The bartenders also did an amazing job making the signature drinks. My family and I enjoyed everything. Thank you so much, we truly appreciate it. I will definitely hire Autumn’s Catering for my next event.
