We had an absolutely incredible wedding at Eastwood in September of 2024. The views are stunning, the tent is so special and you cannot beat the location. Highly, highly recommend. The team at Eastwood is spectacular! Emma's partnership and guidance throughout the process was unparalleled. She took us up to the tent/terrace several times (more times than she needed to) as we figured out our vision for the wedding. Having the cottage on location was incredibly helpful. We were not only able to get organized in the days leading up, but also had a space for people to gather / our flower girls were able to sneak down and go down to bed a bit early too. We are so thrilled that we had our wedding at Eastwood!

Celebrate your way for one to three unforgettable days surrounded by mountain views, a historic 200+ year-old barn, a restored 1892 Manor House, a vintage corn crib bar, and the people you love - all at a surprisingly affordable price. One price. No surprises. No hidden fees. No stress. Why choose Big Oak? Because you can have your wedding, your way. Our couples do not simply rent a space for a few hours.

Julie, Scott, and their team made our wedding day perfect. From the first site visit and throughout the planning process, they were amazing communicators. The venue has gorgeous outdoor spaces for the ceremony and cocktail reception. The indoor space is flexible for a reception with a dance floor. There are chairs for both the ceremony and reception as well as tables. We chose to have a June wedding and when the temps entered the upper 90s, we were grateful for the A/C reception space. Even better, there are two suites that the wedding party can use to make for a seamless process getting ready. We enjoyed our experience so very much. Lastly, the bathrooms there were also excellent and let’s be real, that’s a crucial component for any good party.

When planning our wedding, we knew we wanted to prioritize spending as much time as possible with family and friends. We had 130 guests and 80 guests stayed with us in cabins. The location in Charlottesville also allowed easy access for guests who preferred to stay in a hotel. Tina was fantastic to work with and met us on two different Saturdays prior to the wedding so we could look at the venue. Shuttling guests from parking to the top of camp was much easier than we expected. We really enjoyed having full use of the dining hall where we ate breakfasts and lunches, and being able to use many of the camp amenities was awesome (picnic tables, fire pit, previous wedding goods, etc) The campfire circle with benches, pavilion, and an open space for cocktail hour are all very close together making for smooth transitions throughout the day. Our band was able to set up in the Pavilion and sounded awesome, and there was plenty of parking for catering as well. If you are looking for a camp-y wedding, we absolutely recommend Camp Holiday Trails.

Jack and I could not have imagined a better venue for our wedding than The Club at Glenmore in Keswick, Virginia. Growing up in Charlottesville, I knew that I wanted to get married in my hometown. Wineries are a popular choice in Charlottesville, but they are mostly located in the surrounding counties which require a long drive from hotels. Winery weddings can also require coordinating a lot of rentals (decor, tables, chairs, etc.) and finding a caterer. After researching all of the venues around Charlottesville, we chose The Club at Glenmore or many reasons. One, the beautiful and convenient location. Glenmore was conveniently located only about 10 minutes from our hotel block on Pantops which made it easy for guests and shuttles. Even though the location is close to town, it is situated inside a beautiful gated neighborhood with views of the mountains, rolling horse pastures, and well maintained golf course. So it feels like it's out in the country without actually being that far away from town! Two, the full service. Glenmore provides so much for its couples! It has an amazing on-site chef so we did not need to find a separate catering company. This was one of our main deciding factors! Couples even do the food & wine tasting at the venue which makes for a fun day trip :) Glenmore provides all of the ceremony chairs, reception chairs, tables, glassware, serving ware, flatware, etc. So we did not need to rent anything except purchase some decorations. Speaking of decorations, Glenmore has many decor pieces that we were able to use! They have arbors, prosecco walls, a boxwood wall for photo opps, votive candle and holders, charger plates, up-lights, bistro lights, etc. Three, the amenities. Getting ready spaces, ceremony locations, cocktail terrace, reception ballroom - Glenmore has it all! Glenmore has a beautiful bridal suite that the ladies in my bridal party were able to use all morning. The bridal suite has plenty of room to get ready in, hang dresses in, store decor in, and even take pictures in. There is a separate space downstairs where the guys can get ready in too! We all enjoyed spending the morning and early afternoon together in these spaces while eating breakfast and lunch prepared for by Glenmore! The space was also convenient for our vendors too. They could come and check in with me throughout the morning since I was getting ready on-site. There are many ceremony locations to choose from if you want your ceremony at Glenmore. We actually switched our ceremony location within about 2 weeks of the wedding and Glenmore was very accommodating with this switch. Finally, the beautiful ballroom was another major deciding factor for us. We had our wedding in the summer, so we knew we wanted to have the reception indoors in an air conditioned room. Four, the staff. Glenmore takes pride in providing top notch service to its clients. Kim, the event coordinator at Glenmore, helped us so much from start to finish. She walked us through the wedding process, answered the many questions we had, worked with all of our vendors, met with us for our tasting and walkthroughs, made sure that all of our requests were met, and coordinated the entire Glenmore team on our wedding day. If you are looking for a beautiful full-service wedding venue with everything including an amazing on-site caterer, top notch staff, convenient location, and gorgeous views, Glenmore is the place for you!!

The wedding was absolutely wonderful and exactly what my daughter wanted. All our guests were well taken care of and had a great time. Mary was our coordinate and she was fantastic to work with. She helped keep us on track with all of our vendors. The wedding was before the sunset and it was pretty bright out for our guests but it was perfect for the wedding party and for pictures. We had rented a tent in case of foul weather which thankfully didn't happen. We had a cocktail hour under the tent during pictures, dinner under the wisteria and used the pavilion for dancing. I was a tad nervous about a guest count of around 125 but it worked beautifully!
