“We had the pleasure of hosting our wedding at Greenock Manor, and we could not have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, Chanel—who not only runs the venue but also served as our wedding coordinator and planner—was truly phenomenal. She is incredibly sweet, attentive, and went above and beyond to help us create a weekend we’ll never forget. Chanel connected us with amazing vendors, including our caterer, DJ, officiant, and photographer, and made the entire planning process feel seamless. She helped to ensure we were getting good prices, and she was always accommodating, communicative, responsive, and wonderfully organized, which made us feel completely at ease leading up to the big day. The venue itself is stunning—elegant, charming, and full of character. Our wedding was in late April, and the venue grounds were lush and vibrant with greenery and flowers. One of the highlights was the ample on-site lodging, which allowed the wedding party to stay with us over the weekend. Being able to spend extra time with our close friends and loved ones in such a beautiful setting made everything even more special. After the wedding, we took advantage of the fire pit on the property, and it turned out to be the perfect way to wind down with our wedding party and share a few more laughs before the weekend came to a close. We can’t recommend Greenock Manor—and Chanel—highly enough. It was everything we dreamed of and more.”

Long before Big Oak became a place where new love stories begin, this land was home to generations of hardworking Virginia farm families. Today, this remarkable estate stays true to its farm roots and allows couples to become part of the Big Oak legacy. Your wedding should be timeless and classic; so should your venue. 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. They slow down, stay and celebrate together with family and friends, and become part of the legacy of a place that has been welcoming families for generations. Bring the caterer, photographer, and vendors you love, or allow us to do the heavy lifting for you.

The location is conveniently less than 30 minutes from downtown Charlottesville, much more convenient than other venues we looked at. We couldn’t recommend it more to any couple looking for a venue in the Charlottesville area!”
