“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!”

Ashley Cox Photography is a professional wedding photography studio based in Virginia. Ashley has an eye for beauty in every moment of your wedding day, and preserves it with an artistic touch. She has worked as a wedding photographer for many years, providing exceptional service and stunning collection for each couple. Ashley thrives on capturing the intimate moments where your true beauty shines. She offers a variety of photography packages for weddings of every size, style, and budget.

“Do yourself a favor and hire Ashley for your wedding, event, family photos, etc. - she is absolutely AMAZING!! We hired her for our June wedding and it was the best money we spent, hands down. Everything from coordinating our engagement shoot to planning the shots we wanted at the wedding was seamless. Ashley is not just a wedding photographer; she is a true artist and has an incredible talent for styling shoots on the fly, troubleshooting in challenging environments, and making everyone feel SO comfortable. One of my main concerns with our photos was that we would look stiff - with Ashley that was not an issue. She had us laughing and feeling so relaxed from the very beginning. On our wedding day, Ashley was extremely efficient and worked around our desire to have the first look at the ceremony, while also somehow getting all the shots we wanted plus a lot more. We even made the last 15 minutes of our cocktail party! The photos are art-quality, timeless, and everything we hoped they would be - she captured the day exactly as we remembered it, even the crazy-packed dance floor! I really cannot recommend Ashley enough, we will absolutely be using her again in the future!!”

Hi, lovebirds. I’m Cassidy, a big-hearted type A and perpetual wanderluster. I’m here to take the stress off your shoulders and your timeline off your plate. So you can savor the champagne, the getting-ready playlist, the dinner-then-dancing flow of it all. With a background in ballet and a decade of experience choreographing everything from stage productions to global conferences, I know how to keep things moving beautifully. Planning a wedding isn’t just about wielding clipboards. It’s about intentionally making space for joy- your joy.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Our wedding day wouldn’t have been as magical or extraordinary of a day if it wasn’t for Cassidy. Leading up to the big day, we had numerous calls and chats where she guided us through every step of the way. She made it all so seamless. I’m not quite sure how she does it, but I wasn’t once stressed through the entire planning process. We had multiple zoom calls and I knew she was always a text or call away (even though I tried my best not to bug her after hours!) Once the wedding day came, it all felt like a dream we didn’t want to wake up from. Cassidy and her assistant, Taylor, went above and beyond for us. When I stepped out of the bridal suite and saw the vision to come to life; it was breathtaking. Cassidy also has a few tricks up her sleeve. She brings her oh sh*t kit which has EVERYTHING you could possible imagine and then some. Thankfully, I didn’t have to use it, but I will say, she has something in there for every scenario. She also will bustle your dress and ensure there are no run away Bobby pins! She truly is one of the best and anyone would be lucky to have her as a planner. I not only got my dream wedding, but I also gained a friend!”

“Market at Grelen is such a perfect choice for your wedding venue. We would choose it over and over again. We love the Market so much and the best thing is that it's open to the public as an actual nursery and place where you can hike, get drinks, have lunch, and get your Christmas tree even long after your wedding. Most places you only return to for other weddings. It's so special that you can revisit. I definitely recommend booking Spotswood Lodge and Boxwood Villa for your weekend stay as well so you're all in one small area. The team at Grelen are amazing. They always checked in on us and kept the process flowing. Morgan was so good to us throughout the entire process and made me feel so comfortable and at ease that everything would flow. She is so awesome! The venue itself is STUNNING. We loved using the whole property for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception so our guests got to see the whole property. Gorgeous views and so many fun options to add on like ice cream, fire pits, cookies, AND they let you pick out plants to use which really adds to the tent. I ABSOLUTELY recommend Grelen. I'm obsessed.”

We chose Wild Rose Bevs for our wedding 08/10/2024 and Hailey was phenomenal she was super responsive, answered any questions that we had and even helped us through the steps of getting our ABC license. Hailey was also the only vendor who came to see the place before the wedding to get a feel for the place and meet and get to know us and talk through the drinks and bar sign and the whole 9 yards. She even made fresh made simple syrups and a jalapeño one for my Wife’s signature drink and the drinks were divine. We had bought beer and other canned drinks but no one even touched them that’s how good her drinks were and our friends still rave about them a year later! She did this on a 90 degree August day mind you. Hailey thank you for being a wonderful part of the best day of our lives if I could give you more stars I would! Sincerely The Williamsons”

Amanda Maglione opened her wedding photography business in Charlottesville, Virginia, after a ten-year career in NYC as a photojournalist, celebrity photographer, and photo editor. She brings this background to her wedding photography, and is known for her photojournalistic/documentary style. "Well balanced, highly skilled photographer. Now when you combine that knowledge and experience with her affable nature and charm you can't go wrong. She is not only super talented but also down to earth, sweet, intelligent and a truly genuine person. When you meet her you immediately feel at ease. I was blessed to have her shoot my wedding."

“Amanda was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! I can't say enough great things about Amanda. She is incredibly talented and the consummate professional. We went a non-traditional route for our wedding, deciding to get married in the morning off the blue ridge parkway, and then hike up to the top of humpback rocks with our guests to celebrate our marriage at the top of a mountain. That meant having Amanda get up early to capture the ceremony and then do the hike with us (haha!). She was incredible, and brought along her photographer friend to help during the morning to get all the action. Later that evening, she met back up with us when we cleaned up for some portraits with family, and some of our absolute favorite couple photos we've ever taken on the downtown mall. I don't feel like words do justice -- the photos of our memories say everything I couldn't ever possibly put into words. I should also mention that thanks to her phenomenal photos, we were one of the couples selected for a Cville wedding magazine issue! Amanda is one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. We will always be thankful for her and think of her often when we pass our beautiful canvas photos of that day hanging around our house. :)”

“We had an incredible experience having our wedding at Greenock Manor. We decided a small, 25 person micro-wedding was what we wanted and could afford and Chanel & Jim pulled it off flawlessly and threw everything they had into making sure our day was as magical as possible. From beginning to end Chanel made sure we knew what was happening, kept all our needs and requests in mind and created such a welcoming and beautiful atmosphere during the ceremony & reception. We recommend everyone we know to go here if you’re looking for the perfect wedding! My family kept saying how incredibly impressed they were with Greenock’s beauty and Chanel’s charisma and hostess abilities! Together Chanel and Jim make a dream team, Chanel orchestrated the whole event while Jim officiated and DJ’ed - it wasn’t easy either with a guest list full of non-English speaking family as well! The wedding suite was also the highlight of the night, it was so nice to just finally kick off our shoes in the end without anything to worry about and soak in the jacuzzi to melt our worries away! Chanel’s recommendations for vendors was the best as well, the catering (onsite next door!) was out of this world on top of it all!”

“This venue couldn’t have been more perfect. The venue really makes the wedding and I’m so glad we picked Lovingston Winery! It was such a treat to have the farmhouse, cabin, and the Tupelo house for the whole weekend. I loved how the venue felt like it tucked up against the woods and had such pretty views of the rolling hill in central VA. The farmhouse was so cozy and fit my entire family for the weekend. We loved drinking coffee underneath the trellis and looking at the mountain views. The big bridal suite was perfect - the photos I have in front of the giant bay windows look so ethereal. I also loved the shower! The wall jets were so luxurious! Walking from the farmhouse to the ceremony spot (we picked by the Tupelo house) with my parents was such a special moment. I’m glad we never had to drive anywhere. My husband stayed in the cabin on Friday night and we used it as our honeymoon suite on Saturday night. Similarly, it was so easy to escape back to our cabin in the woods from the reception. The Tupelo house was so spacious and beautiful - we loved the fireplace, the big wooden beams, the rich rugs, and giant barn doors. We opened the barn doors up for the mountain views even though it made the room a little warm for dancing. It was worth it to feel like we were bringing the outside in and so that our guests could wander and mingle outside (my brother-in-law brought cornhole boards, which folks actually really enjoyed!). Our guests loved the rose! Tessa and Wes were both so responsive and helpful. My mom accidentally broke the garbage disposal on Friday and they showed up immediately and fixed it (don’t put entire vegetables down the garbage disposal). They’re so kind and easygoing, which is much needed energy for a wedding weekend. I’m so grateful we picked Lovingston and had the venue Friday to Sunday morning - the weekend already goes by too quickly. My only regret is that we didn’t book the farmhouse AirBnB for Thursday night!”

Pizzeria Henderson is a mobile pizza caterer based in Charlottesville, serving weddings and private events across central Virginia and the Blue Ridge.

I’ve spent about eight years refining our dough, and I still obsess over the three things that make or break a pizza: dough, sauce, and cheese. That obsession is at the heart of everything we do. We bring a brick oven imported from Italy to your venue and bake extra-large 18-inch pizzas on site, served buffet style.

“I feel so incredibly lucky to have gotten to work with Tai for my March 2025 wedding. I had never gotten my makeup professionally done before, and honestly had some nerves going into the process. I knew from pictures that I felt like Tai’s style fit what I was envisioning, and in the first minutes of meeting Tai, I knew I was in good hands. She is such a kind and bubbly person, the trial felt like catching up with an old friend. Seeing myself in the mirror both on the trial and on the wedding day, I felt truly beautiful and confident. I felt like me, but elevated. On top of that, she also helped to cover a scar that I got on my back from an unexpected procedure a month prior to my wedding. I felt so insecure about it, and she was able to cover it with ease. As for the look itself, it lasted all night, through happy tears and a hot dance floor. One of the best wedding vendors out there, would definitely work with her again!!”

“Montfair Resort Farm was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we first inquired, their communication was quick, easy, and mostly over email, making the planning process a breeze. The venue itself is truly gorgeous, with sweeping views and lush, soft grass that created a cozy and intimate atmosphere. Victoria, the on-site coordinator, was super hands-on in helping us plan the details, but also gave us the flexibility to put our own personal touches on the day. They provided all the tables and chairs we needed, and even set up beautiful tiki torches along the ceremony field. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful and well-executed wedding celebration. Highly recommend Montfair Resort Farm to any couple looking for a stunning, rustic-chic venue with an amazing team to work with.”

The Local Restaurant & Catering 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • Caterer
  • Serves Howardsville, VA

The Local is a full-service catering company that specializes in weddings, social gatherings & corporate events. Grand or intimate, focused on tradition or leaning toward trendy, your vision along with our capable guidance will reflect your personal style. Our staff is committed to details, offering unique options, bringing creativity and passion to the planning process.

“It's been weeks since our wedding, and we're still getting an insane amount of compliments and questions on our wedding dinner! One of my bridesmaids even asked if I could get the recipe for The Local's truffle mushroom pasta (the resounding favorite from all of our guests, and for good reason). The other favorite (especially from my husband) was their apple crisp. It's common knowledge that the bride and groom don't get a ton of time to eat on the wedding day. We'd built out a private dinner right after cocktail hour but before sunset photos, and we got to eat a little bit of everything. Let me tell you -- I'm still thinking about the scalloped potatoes I had. I could have had an entire plate of those and still have been happy. We also had the chicken and green beans, and it's an understatement to say everything was incredible. Every dish was high quality, remained hot through the buffet, and were filling but didn't make you feel too heavy/sleepy to dance all night afterwards. Not only was the food amazing, but working with Helen and her team through our engagement was so easy. The Local is very thorough and sends over clear paperwork, including a contract with all items and payments broken down, and they were really responsive with any questions we had along the way. They even had a specific food option for those with allergies or dietary restrictions. Their team also helped set up and take down everything, and really made our dreams come true with the place settings and floor plan. It was absolutely beautiful. Overall, we could not recommend them more, and are hoping we get to attend a wedding where they're the vendor so we can eat more of their food! Thank goodness they're also a restaurant; we'll definitely be going there to relive our wedding dinner yet again :)”

Pronounced like Eye-lish, I'm a Charlottesville, Virginia wedding photographer. I've been full-time in the industry for 5 years, and I love getting to memorialize weddings for my clients. I have experience in both photography and cinematography, which gives my images a uniquely timeless feel. My experience in film enables me to be unobtrusive, allowing you to experience your day exactly as it unfolds.

“Eilish is an artist in the truest form of the word, because every single one of her photos will make you feel something. She photographed our wedding and we literally could not believe how beautifully she captured every moment of the day. My husband and I are probably the most awkward people in front of the camera, but Eilish made us feel 100% comfortable. It never felt like a photo shoot, and because of that, we were able to stay fully present. She brought such a calm, sweet, and grounded energy, and just captured the day naturally as it unfolded. We also set aside some time for couples portraits and it was honestly one of the most relaxed and memorable parts of the day. She and her second shooter, Cecilia, made the day run so smoothly and were true professionals. Eilish had excellent communication with us since we first got in touch, and shared so much helpful information and a detailed questionnaire leading up to the day. It's clear that she puts so much thought and care into each couple that she photographs. And of course, we are SO obsessed with both the film and digital photos that we received in our final gallery! We loved Eilish's style because it is unique, timeless, and nostalgic all at once, and I can't believe we now have our own photos to look at for years to come.”

Sam Hill Entertainment is based out of Charlottesville, VA with bands located throughout the Southeast.

Our bands cover Top 40 hits, fiery versions of Soul, smooth versions of Motown, elegant jazz classics, toe-tapping bluegrass, and country - it all exists among the performers we work with!

“We cannot say enough great things about booking The Lone Rangers with Sam Hill Entertainment. Booking them for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! From the very first song to the last, they kept the energy high and the dance floor packed. Nearly every guest was on the dance floor at one point during the night, and they truly kept the party going. My new father-in-law was, and is still, talking about how amazing the band was. They completely brought the reception to life. Leading up to the wedding, the band leader, Nate, was incredibly communicative and easy to work with, which made the planning process smooth and stress-free. On the day of the wedding, they were phenomenal across the board. The piano music during our ceremony was beautiful and set the perfect tone, and they did an excellent job MC-ing the reception. One of our favorite moments was how engaged the female singer was with the crowd. She brought so much fun energy and made a point to involve many of the kids and teenagers throughout the night, which was such a hit and made everyone feel included. It added an extra layer of joy and made the celebration even more memorable. Working with Sam Hill Entertainment was a pleasure and they make the process of booking a great band for your wedding very straightforward and smooth!”

“I had the pleasure of working with Mindy for my wedding in September and I couldn't have been happier with my choice! I had 9 people total getting styled and she managed to get everyone done in plenty of time and the whole group looked great. She is responsive, kind and talented. She was even understanding and flexible when I needed to change the date of my trial last minute. She will make sure to take the time to make your hairstyle exactly what you want for your special day. She was able to make everyone feel beautiful and work with many different hair types. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for a wedding hairstylist in the area. Thanks Mindy!”

“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.”

“We had an absolutely incredible wedding at Eastwood in September of 2024. The views are stunning, the tent is so special and you cannot beat the location. Highly, highly recommend. The team at Eastwood is spectacular! Emma's partnership and guidance throughout the process was unparalleled. She took us up to the tent/terrace several times (more times than she needed to) as we figured out our vision for the wedding. Having the cottage on location was incredibly helpful. We were not only able to get organized in the days leading up, but also had a space for people to gather / our flower girls were able to sneak down and go down to bed a bit early too. We are so thrilled that we had our wedding at Eastwood!”

“My husband and I are so happy to have gotten the opportunity to work with Kelly for our May 2025 wedding! From the start, she was professional and communicative. When working with her in person, she is always calm and in control, which I think is essential when working in the wedding business. She definitely strikes the right balance of managing the scene around her while also bringing a sense of ease. She made the whole day (not to mention our engagement photos) feel fun, laid back, and unhurried—all important factors for a wedding day. Thank you Kelly!”

Hi there. I originally hail from Georgia, but am so happy to now call Charlottesville my home. When I'm not chasing down perfect sunlight, you can usually find me tucked away somewhere with a book, writing, enjoying life with my partner Charles, styling my 1920s home, or snuggling with my Frenchie pup, Finny.

“From the moment I found her, I just knew I wanted her to be our wedding photographer. There was something about her work and the way she captured people that immediately stood out to me, and she exceeded every expectation. She photographed both our engagement session and our wedding day, and every single image is absolutely beautiful. She has such an incredible eye for capturing not only the big moments, but also the little details and candid memories that make the day so special. These are photos we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives. Beyond her talent behind the camera, she brought such a calm, reassuring presence throughout the entire experience. On a day that can feel overwhelming, having someone with that kind of energy made all the difference. She also went above and beyond long before the wedding day itself—helping me choose outfits for our engagement session, offering thoughtful advice, and making sure we felt confident and prepared every step of the way. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. If you’re looking for someone who creates stunning images while making you feel completely at ease, she is the one.”
