“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!”

“Annita was absolutely amazing to work with. From the start, she made the whole planning process feel so much easier with her calm, easygoing personality. We had so many questions and worries along the way, but she was always there to reassure us and guide us through everything. It truly felt like we were in good hands. On the day of the wedding, Desiree, our day-of coordinator, was a total lifesaver. She brought so many great ideas to the table and handled everything with such confidence and care. Honestly, without her, we would’ve been a mess! She helped everything run so smoothly and let us really enjoy the day without stress.

Riverside Weddings by Clore 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
Fredericksburg, VA
  • Up to 130 guests
  • Starts at $4,500

Our goal is to provide a million dollar outside wedding site at an affordable price AND treat every bride like she is our own daughter. In the 1950’s thru the mid 1970’s the site was known as Motts Run Landing, which provided access to the Rappahannock River for families, boaters and fishermen by day and a local lovers lane by night. In 1979 Gene & Linda Clore purchased this 2 ½ acre slice of heaven and dedicated their lives to the fun and pleasure of those who wished to enjoy the Rappahannock and Rapidan rivers by canoe. Because of it’s natural beauty a friend of the family, in 1993, requested to have their wedding overlooking the river. Thus was the inception of Riverside Weddings. After a few years of one or two weddings per year with family and friends (and friends telling friends about our enchanting spot to get married) it was obvious that we had become “Riverside Weddings by Clore”

“I could talk about how much I loved having our May 2025 wedding with the Clores for literal hours... and I have! From the first message to the end of the wedding weekend Gene and Linda were excited, helpful, communicative, and generally just "good peoples"! Through the process I felt just generally cared for which I feel like went a long way in how amazing I felt when the day came, it wasn't just a venue then, it was Gene and Linda's cabin. The feel of the cabin and grounds is so so perfect ... magical really - you know they put a lot of care, love, and expertise into it! It's a place you want to visit again (so tell your friends to get married there, too)! Our family and friends were in love with this place as much as we were. I truly cannot recommend it enough! If you are on the fence... reach out and make a visit... you'll see what I'm talking about!”

“I absolutely adore venues that offer a unique and personal space for couples. Windy Knolls is just that! Their barn space has such a wonderful and rustic charm. The inclusion of tables, chairs, getting ready space, a built-in bar, space that can be used just for catering, and more is truly so helpful. The space was perfect for a 40-person wedding I coordinated. The owner was so kind and just a quick reach away if we needed anything. She also was so trusting and communicated clear expectations, both characteristics are incredibly helpful as a coordinator. If you're looking for a cozy, charming place to get married away from the hustle and bustle, this is it!”

There is a special sort of feeling that being here at the farm brings, a calm and peaceful energy about the property. Maybe it is the history, there is comfort in knowing the original farmhouse, which sits at the center of the property, has stood for over two centuries. Maybe its the rustic beauty of the big white barn, that was built by farmers as a dairy barn in 1920. This little slice of heaven has been a part of so many families who lived and worked this land over the past 250 years. Come and see for yourself.

“While there were many aspects of our wedding day that we will love and be thankful for, when people ask us what was our favorite part of the day, we instantly knew that it was simply "just having our wedding at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation." We only looked at CBF as the venue for our wedding because after seeing it, we knew it checked all the boxes and that we didn't need to look anywhere else! The venue is perfect for a couple that wants an intimate location that also highlights the beauty of nature. We loved that CBF allowed our guests the opportunity to either dance away on the deck or wander on the sand and dip their toes in the Bay. It brought us a lot of joy that before the wedding we saw our younger guests playing with a football while they waiting for the ceremony to begin and then later in the night playing yard games! We also learned that being at CBF was the first time one of our wedding guests had seen a large body of water before- so the day was magical for so many reasons thanks to CBF!”

“I grew up on a farm and really appreciated this setting. The owner is a master gardener and it shows, there are beautiful flowering trees, bushes and sunflowers that accent the outdoors. Some wedding guests had children and got to feed the livestock during the reception. They had baby goats, an alpaca and a donkey to mingle with. We had our wedding offsite and brought the reception here; if I had the opportunity to do it over I would have the wedding ceremony at their lakefront, it is beautiful and on peaceful lakefront”
