From the moment we first met Cindy and Bob, the owners of The Pavilion at Mimosa Lake, we knew we had found the perfect venue for our wedding. Their communication was fast, clear, and transparent, and they were incredibly personable throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that felt perfect for our special day. Cindy took so much time to sit with us and talk through every detail, even the little things we hadn't thought of! On the day of the wedding, Cindy and Bob kept everything moving seamlessly, ensuring our day was stress-free! We loved getting to know them and felt like we were in great hands from start to finish! Having our wedding at The Pavilion at Mimosa Lake was truly the best decision we could have made.

She was the matriarch of our family and a beautiful, one-in-a-billion type of person with a generous and loving spirit. She was a talented gardener, a devoted fisherwoman who could out-fish the best of 'em (we're talking "sun-up-til-sundown" kind of fishing), was creative and artsy, and never knew a stranger. We felt it only fitting to name this lovely place in her memory. We are a family-operated business. Joanna is the General Manager and works with each client to accommodate varying event needs. She handles a wide range of aspects of the business, from answering questions about what will make your event run smoothly to giving you layout suggestions.

I honestly couldn’t have picked a better venue than Waverly Estate. There’s no venue like it that gives you the flexibility of coming in on Friday & staying until Sunday. We had no worries about clean up after the reception or scrambling the morning of between a hotel & the venue for getting ready. On top of all of that, the all inclusive package that Waverly has is NEXT LEVEL. I didn’t have to search for vendors because Waverly had them already available & built into my package. It was an absolute dream to have one less thing to stress about. Their coordinator, Rachel, is absolutely amazing too. She answered every question I had & was the best cheerleader for us on wedding day. She had everything completely organized & made my vision come true for our wedding. My wedding was a dream come true, in huge part to the team at Waverly Estate.

  • Starts at $2,500

The Inn at Blackstone is a wedding venue located in Blackstone, Virginia, just an hour outside of Richmond and 30 miles from Farmville. The celebration destination welcomes couples throughout the region to host their milestone occasions on these picturesque grounds. Modern charm and quaint history are beautifully showcased in this 19th-century property, creating an unforgettable setting for life's most precious moments.

  • Versatile for various event styles
  • Private area for the wedding party

Venue considerations

  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
  • Dance floor not included
  • Does not provide event staff
Choosing The Inn at Blackstone as our wedding venue was truly one of the best decisions we made. I grew up in Blackstone, so I already had a connection to the property before it became the gorgeous hotel and event space it is today. Even so, I wasn’t sure a small-town venue could compete with some of the Richmond locations we toured — but we were completely blown away. The Inn is absolutely magical! We instantly fell in love with its blend of historic charm and modern elegance. After seeing iconic spots like the grand front steps, the romantic courtyard, and the magnificent tree on the grounds (lovingly known as Sir James), we knew without a doubt that this was where we wanted to get married. The Inn offers several wedding options to fit couples' needs, but choosing the wedding weekend package was easily the best fit for us. We hosted a welcome party in the courtyard Friday night, spent Saturday getting ready leisurely in the charming suites, and had many guests stay one or two nights with us. Not only was it convenient for everyone, but it also gave us much needed time with family and friends throughout the entire weekend instead of squeezing everything into one day. The Inn’s venue coordinator, Dianna, was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. She answered every single question we had (lots of email chains) and genuinely tried to accommodate all of our requests. She and Mackenzie went above and beyond — helping with logistics, offering thoughtful ideas, supporting us throughout the weekend, and making us feel so cared for during the entire process. We are endlessly grateful to The Inn at Blackstone for giving us the most beautiful, heartfelt wedding weekend we could have imagined.

I got married at Hardware Hills in March 2025. It was hands down the best day of my life and I couldn't have picked a better place to get married. My now husband and I toured the venue in the Fall of 2024 while the new event space was in the process of getting built. Lori was amazing at keeping me updated on the progress and the finished product turned out amazing. I enjoyed working with the entire Hardware Hills team and would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for an event space. The bridal suite is so beautiful and easily accommodated my bridal part of 6 plus other members of my family that was getting ready there that day. The groom and his groomsmen enjoyed getting to relax at the cottage the morning of the wedding. Everything was so amazing! If you're looking for a wedding venue, definitely check this place out.

Selecting The Estate at River Run as our wedding venue was the single best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. It wasn't just a venue; it felt like home and provided the perfect backdrop for one of the most important days of our lives. From our engagement photos to our rehearsal dinner and the wedding day itself, this stunning estate was a dream. We opted for the Friday early access package in addition to the overnight package, and it made all the difference. We got access to the Estate at 2pm on Friday and my bridesmaids and I were able to stay the night before, which transformed the wedding morning into a truly relaxing and joyous experience. We were able to handle all the final preparations on Friday, leaving Saturday morning completely stress-free. The true magic of this venue, however, lies with Kim and her team. They are, without a doubt, the best in the business. Their kindness, professionalism, incredible attention to detail, and seamless organization are unmatched. They truly think of everything, anticipating needs before you even realize you have them. Their guidance and support were a genuine blessing, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy every moment.

What a spectacular venue! We could not have asked for a better location for our wedding. We toured 2 other spots and the moment we walked into the reception barn at Layz S Ranch we knew it was the spot for us. The ability to use the venue from Friday – Sunday was an amazing perk. It allowed us to comfortably set up for the wedding day as well as host our rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, and welcome party all in the same location. The Sclaters were incredibly helpful, responsive, and kind throughout the entire process leading up to and during the wedding. We were lucky that we had a sunny and 70 degree day in November but even if the weather hadn’t cooperated with us the interior of the venue is a wonderful option. We also loved and utilized the unique spacing of the venue. We were able to have dinner and dancing in the reception barn and then have tables, the photo booth, and a fire going in the ceremony barn for guests who wanted a more relaxed space. We highly highly recommend using Layz S Ranch (if you can even get on their schedule!) Their hospitality and location made our wedding dream a reality!

The rural setting provided a gorgeous, natural backdrop for our celebration, with plenty of room for our family and friends to spread out and enjoy the live band playing old time music, the square dance, and the barbecue buffet in the barn. The kids had a blast running around, playing in the sandboxes, and blowing bubbles. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect, laid-back setting to tie the knot. They generously let us store some of our flowers, food, and beer in their large walk-in cooler. Our caterer was able to set up in a closed off space in the barn that was out of site.

Amanda was so enthusiastic and timely in responding to all of our questions during the planning process, and her extensive knowledge of weddings ensured that no detail was overlooked. On the big day itself, the staff went above and beyond decorating the venue with the items we had dropped off the day before, allowing us to relax and enjoy our special moment. The Boathouse at Sunday park, which overlooks the lake, was the perfect romantic backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Everything was lovely and ran so smoothly thanks to Amanda's careful orchestration. We are so grateful to her for helping our wedding vision come to life seamlessly. The Boathouse is a gem for couples looking for a venue that offers gorgeous scenery, delicious food, and attentive yet unobtrusive coordination.

Trump Winery 

5.0

Charlottesville, VA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $4,500

Trump Winery is the venue where your wedding dreams come true. Whether you’ve envisioned an extravagant event or an elopement for just the two of you, we promise to create memories that you and your loved ones will cherish forever. Our 1300 acre property is nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, conveniently located 20 minutes from downtown Charlottesville. Our grounds have picture-perfect rolling hills, lakes, and over 200 acres of vines. Trump Winery couples benefit from indoor and outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour and reception settings, in well-appointed, heated and air-conditioned, luxury venues. Less than a mile away from both the Barn & Pavilion and the Grand Hall is our Albemarle Estate at Trump Winery, a 26,000-square foot, 11 bedroom mansion that provides overnight lodging for guests and a honeymoon night option for couples.

Our decision to elope at Trump Winery in Charlottesville turned out to be the best choice we could have made. From the moment we arrived, the staff provided exceptional service, going above and beyond to make our day perfect. Every detail was handled with care, and we truly felt like their priority. The venue itself is stunning. The chapel on the property is a masterpiece, offering a level of intimacy and charm that we couldn’t find anywhere else. The fresco on the ceiling is absolutely breathtaking, a true work of art that made the space feel even more special. The large bay windows and balcony created incredible opportunities for photography, while the pews and altar added an elegant, timeless touch. Speaking of photography, we were thrilled with our choice of Aaron Watson Photography. He was a true professional, expertly navigating less-than-ideal weather to capture photos that exceeded all our expectations. The wedding package we selected was seamless and stress-free. It included gorgeous flowers, a kind and professional officiant, and every element we needed to make our day unforgettable. Our stay at the Albemarle Estate was equally exceptional. Between the pristine grounds, beautifully appointed rooms, and the privacy of the cabin we stayed in, the estate made us feel like we had our own little paradise. With only about 11 rooms on the property, it offered a level of exclusivity that was especially memorable for our New Year’s Eve wedding. We couldn’t have been luckier to host our wedding here. The property’s uniqueness, from the incredible chapel to the estate’s picturesque surroundings, far surpassed any other venue we explored. Additionally, the entire elopement package was an extraordinary value. For under 10,000, it included the venue, officiant, photographer, floral arrangements, two nights in the cabin, hair and makeup brought directly to us, our wedding attire, and delicious meals in the fine dining room. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, making our wedding as easy as it was magical. If you’re considering hosting your wedding at Trump Winery, we cannot recommend it highly enough. The experience was truly one of a kind, and we’ll cherish the memories forever.

Amherst is a community arts center and event space. It is a hub for the arts, small businesses, and community groups.. The facility can be leased for community events, musical performances, parties, weddings, and more. The old Amherst Baptist Church was the home of that church's congregation until 2005. Its sanctuary was constructed in 1882, making it the second oldest religious structure still standing in the Town of Amherst. Starting in 2012, a grassroots group took the initiative to save a historic structure in the heart of Amherst, VA, and to re-purpose it as a creative community center. Located in the middle of a vibrant village, the goal was to provide a gathering place for events. The class architecture and details of this circa 1880s historic building is sure to compliment any theme. The antique checkerboard flooring adds a touch of eclectic flair. The building also features two separate dressing/staging areas as well as a full catering kitchen.
