The View at Bluemont is a beautiful, well-kept, and spacious venue with a hardworking, kind, and professional team. I was a florist for two separate weddings at this venue and I worked directly with Nicole, who is a gem and highly competent.

The venue itself is stunning, with breathtaking views that create the perfect backdrop for a wedding in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

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.

Unlike other farm-winery experiences, Eastwood Farm and Winery is located in Charlottesville, Virginia itself. You don't have to drive out to the country to experience the country here!

We got married at Eastwood Farm and Winery in Charlottesville on November 1, and we truly could not have chosen a better venue. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional and worth every penny. What Eastwood includes in their wedding package is incredible and eliminates so much stress. They provided tables, a stunning sailcloth tent, barrel bars, on-site transportation to the ceremony location, a luxury restroom trailer, and around 200 chairs that can be used for either the ceremony or reception depending on your needs. Having all of these essentials included meant there were so many things we didn’t have to think about or rent elsewhere. The bridal cottage was also a perfect space to get ready and relax before the big day. Eastwood also works closely with you to select your wine package, and it was a huge hit! We actually sold out of wine very quickly at our wedding, which says everything about their standard of wine. We were married outdoors on a crisp fall day, and the setting was breathtaking. The mountaintop ceremony location created the most beautiful backdrop, and our photos turned out better than we ever could have imagined. We had just over 110 guests, and the space felt both intimate and perfectly sized. Plenty of room for people to get out on the dance floor. Our guests were incredibly complimentary of their entire experience at Eastwood, many raving about how it was one of the best wedding's they had ever been to. Emma, Eastwood's wedding coordinator, was phenomenal. From our very first inquiry through the end of our wedding night, she was incredibly communicative, responsive, and personal. While many venues sent automated responses, Emma brought a personal touch that made us feel truly cared for. When we met with her, she patiently answered every question from our family and walked us through all of the logistics with ease. No question was too small, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She also worked seamlessly with our planner and caterer, both of whom had experience at Eastwood, which made everything run smoothly. If you’re considering Eastwood Farm and Winery for your wedding, we cannot recommend it highly enough. It’s a beautiful venue with thoughtful inclusions, amazing wine, and a team that genuinely cares about making your day memorable to all.

Kim Hayden was amazing to work with. Kim thought of (and remembered) every detail I told her. She was 100% on board with my vision and made it happen. I was able to use my own china which I had collected for my special day. We got married on the 10th Green, had the cocktail hour under the Pavilion and then our reception was in the Ballroom. The Glenmore had a champagne wall for my use, linens, lanterns, bars, and even candle holders. We added some of our own touches, but Glenmore is full service. From the prosecco wall, the the lighted hedge behind our cake, to putting our printed menus in the perfect spot. Our wedding was perfection. The views are phenomenal. The food was delicious - we served buffet style to make sue of my china and the kitchen did it all right. We had plated salads (tomato and mozzarella) then buffet steak, shrimp in grits, gnocchi with vegetables, roasted potatoes and asparagus. Everything was amazing. The Glenmore was so accommodating. They let us add a sparkling rose and rose to our wine choices - which felt so right with our theme. They had a hedge to put behind our cake table, which we added a personalized sign to, flowers and fairy lights. Glenmore let us have a photo booth in the ball room lobby, and we used their gorgeous farm tables to set out framed photos and favors. I had the absolute best time at my wedding. I highly recommend the Glenmore as a venue. It has gorgeous views, super friendly staff, they are diligent and 100% know how to throw a wedding. I have no regrets entrusted them with my special day and I have the absolute best memories. Thank you Kim and Molly!

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!
