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. They were communicative and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. The venue itself is stunning, with breathtaking views that create the perfect backdrop for a wedding in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I highly recommend The View at Bluemont to any couple looking for a gorgeous and well-managed wedding venue.

Sylvanside Farm was our first and only venue visit for our daughter’s wedding. The beautiful grounds and historical buildings on the farm made it an easy decision for us all. The owners, Terri and Jeff, have restored their property with utmost respect to its historical charm. Having on site lodging allowed both families to spend quality time together and hosting the rehearsal dinner on site made for an all around relaxing weekend. The curated list of preferred vendors, which Sylvanside provides, was very helpful and each vendor that we selected from their list was top notch. Terri and Jeff were very accommodating and responsive throughout the planning process and I highly recommend their venue for your special day.

Milton Ridge was an incredible place to get married! The beauty of the venue and the inclusive wedding options (i.e. catering, DJ, etc.) made this the absolute perfect place to say, "I do!" The getting ready suites were superb & made the day of preparation before the ceremony seamless. The chapel was so beautiful and such a great little spot off the side of 355. Our guests still comment on the simplicity of how we decorated the chapel, and how beautiful the white walls and natural light streaming in were during the ceremony. I was not sure how we'd get group photos on the property... and our photographers were able to use the beautiful stone and green areas within the venue to capture the most beautiful photos of the bride, groom and the wedding party! Guests are still RAVING about how convenient it was to walk up a few stairs to the cocktail hour AND into the reception. They marveled at the ease... park your car, attend the ceremony and then stay and party all night long until it's time to leave! The reception hall was beautiful; the buffet food was to die for; and Meghan and Brandi ensured that EVERY detail of our wedding day was accounted for, seamless and flowing without any hitch! I cannot recommend Milton Ridge enough! Thank you for making our wedding day the most memorable and BEST day of our lives! We owe it to this team, this venue and their support with planning our wedding every step of the way!

Exquisite and budget-friendly, they generously provided us with an entire day to revel in the celebration of my girlfriend's birthday. Our savings were substantial as they had every essential covered. Bringing our own refreshments not only added to the festivities but also allowed us to save significantly. The experience of celebrating all day with our friends and family is truly priceless. Abby, our wonderful host, was instrumental in making everything seamless and enjoyable. Thanks once again for an unforgettable experience!
