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.
