Silver Fox Lavender Farm, LLC was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day. Their communication style was thoughtful, intentional, and dedicated throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and the overall value they provided was simply beautiful, charming, and sweet. They were super willing to move things around to ensure the setup was perfect on the day of our wedding, and they really take the guest experience into account, being there to make sure everything ran smoothly. The owners are incredibly kind and truly care about their venue and what they do and that shines through in everything that they do.

Willow Branch Flowers 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Florist
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Nellysford, VA

Willow Branch is Step mother/daughter team, Cathy Coyle and Mary Pearl Monnes. Willow Branch has grown from a life long love of flowers, gardening, art, nature and all things beautiful. Backgrounds in fine art and horticulture enable us to visualize unique combinations of color, form and texture with consideration for each individual couple and season. We work closely with dedicated local growers to select the best material for our designs. Embracing seasonal selections allow the beholder to take forward a memento of their experience, reliving the beauty of a day again and again in the passing of seasons.

As with many women, I have been dreaming about my wedding since I was a little girl playing pretend. My husband and I also had a two-year long engagement, so I dreamed even more intensely about what everything would look like. What we couldn't have predicted was how unbelievably gorgeous everything would look, because our florals were so vibrant and fresh and beautiful. I have never seen flowers so bright and healthy as Willow Branch Flowers'. They really made everything else in our wedding pop, and I'm so happy I got my bouquet preserved so I can always have a piece of these gorgeous florals. They were so easy to work with, very responsive, and even stayed after the ceremony to help set up the reception. The arch was easily my favorite part, but every table and votive and even the flower girls' petals were absolute perfection. They are completely worth it and more. I HIGHLY recommend booking with them!

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!

Hello I'm Katelyn owner and lead planner for Champagne Wishes. Congratulations on your engagement and thank you for clicking on Champagne Wishes' profile. The CW team is very dedicated to every client, and work incredibly hard to help you throw the wedding you have been dreaming of for your guests. We work with you every step of the way. No wedding is the same; it never should be, and we always treat it as such.

Champagne Wishes helped us plan and execute our 75-person wedding in June 2025 in just four months – we’re not sure how we would have done it without them! Starting from our consultation, Katelyn was extremely personable and encouraging. We were of course nervous about our tight timeline, but she quickly made us feel at ease. She honored our vision, asked the right questions, and helped us be decisive during the planning process when we needed it. Sulli took over as our day-of-coordinator and did an amazing job memorizing our timeline and all the small details of the day. She managed parking attendants from CW and tricky traffic down our venue’s one-lane road with ease, ensuring our guests had a seamless experience. Both Katelyn and Sulli were great communicators, answering our many questions in a timely manner and handling all communication with the vendor team as we approached the big day. The best testimony of how well they worked together was that after the wedding we had multiple guests and even fellow vendors remark on how smooth and effortless the day felt. We are so grateful to the entire team and we highly recommend Champagne Wishes for all your wedding planning needs! As a side note, we also worked with CW for some day-of rentals such as gorgeous wooden benches for our ceremony, cocktail tables, and LED candles. They have a large, well-priced inventory and it was super convenient to get everything in one place. Definitely recommend taking a look!

I am a thirty-nine year old mother of two. I have been in food service for over twenty years, and have been catering for fifteen. I specialize in southern style food and absolutely love trying new foods any time. I was taught to cook by my late Grandmother starting as soon as I could sit on a counter top.

Ashly Kaye's Catering Services was wonderful to work with for my daughters rehearsal dinner and wedding. They had open communication throughout the planning process and were always available to answer our questions. The staff was fantastic - they ensured the appetizers were readily available to all guest and the tables were beautifully set. The food was excellent (received many compliments) and we received great value for the quality and service provided. We highly recommend Ashly Kaye's Catering Services for their wonderful staff, excellent food, and helpful communication. They truly contributed to making the day perfect.

We LOVED working with Brandi for our wedding!! She came highly recommended by our wedding planner and after working with her I can certainly understand why. From the first call I had with her, I knew she would fit right in with the team of vendors we were building for our big day. It was really important to us that all of our vendors be people we felt like we would enjoy spending our day with and she was a perfect fit. Not only was she extremely professional, she was a delight to be around and captured every moment and detail with so much joy. Our wedding happened to be on her birthday and I think it is a great testament to how much she cares for her clients that she chose to spend her day serving us! Her kindness didn't end after our reception, either. She was so responsive throughout the entire process and managed to deliver all of our videos and documentaries to us well in advance of her estimated delivery timelines! She captured our day so beautifully. We will treasure our videos for the rest of our lives! I truly cannot recommend Brandi enough!!

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 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.

We cannot recommend The Local - both the restaurant and their catering team - highly enough! We got married on November 1 at Eastwood Farm and Winery in Charlottesville. The Local's catering services were exceptional from start to finish and truly elevated our entire wedding experience. I had no idea how complex the catering process for a wedding could be, but The Local guided us through every step with ease. We opted for a sit-down dinner with grilled chicken, fried chicken, or steak, served with green beans and fingerling potatoes. The food was delicious, beautifully prepared, and perfectly warm when served, even on a chilly fall day! Our catering coordinator, Eleanore, was absolutely fantastic. From our tasting, to helping us select rentals through MS Events, to the final walkthrough at the venue, and being on-site the day of, she was thoughtful, organized, energetic, and genuinely fun to work with. Her experience showed in everything she did. Knowing that The Local had worked many weddings at Eastwood also gave us so much peace of mind. They knew exactly how the day should flow, and it showed, and they worked cohesively with our planner and venue staff. Eleanore and the entire team went above and beyond in every way. If you’re considering The Local for your event or wedding, do it. They’re an absolute standout.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

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 met Gailan and Amanda at a bridal show and after seeing their photos at the bridal show I was immediately set on using them.

This venue is amazing. You have access to the entire camp - pavillion, dining hall, fire pits, lodges and cabins. We had about half of our guests spend the entire weekend at the camp with us. They even staffed the rock climbing wall for our guests Saturday morning before our wedding. There are so many options to make your event exactly what you want it, and the staff is so great and easy to work with. Best of all- the fees go towards sending special needs children to camp. Cannot recommend it enough!!

Captivating Complexion

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 3
  • Starts at $625
  • Serves Nellysford, VA

Congratulations on your engagement! We hope to be your ultimate hype girls and set the tone for your big day! Captivating Complexion is a small elite makeup team built up of individual artists that specializes in beauty built around you. While based in Charlottesville our artists are located in Richmond, Lynchburg and Charlottesville - we travel up and down Virginia to bring the best on-site wedding makeup services, and energy, to you. We know you are probably coming from out of town for your wedding so we have conveniently located our gorgeous store front next to the airport and on the north end of Charlottesville. It's Time To Glam!

One of the things that people don't always think about when choosing a makeup artist is that this person is going to be with you during some of the most intimate and exciting moments of your wedding day. Looking back, I can confidently say that choosing Meg was one of the best decisions I made. From the very beginning, Meg was warm, welcoming, and so easy to connect with. She has the friendliest, most open personality, and I genuinely felt like we were friends long before the wedding day arrived. When your wedding morning finally comes, the energy surrounding you matters so much, and she and her second artist helped create such a fun, relaxed, and positive atmosphere while we were getting ready. I also cannot recommend doing a makeup trial enough, and Meg made that experience so valuable. Not only did it give me confidence in my wedding day look, but it gave us the opportunity to meet, talk through my vision, and make sure everything felt exactly right. She was incredibly receptive to feedback and completely open to any tweaks or adjustments I wanted to make. On the wedding day, she absolutely nailed it. My makeup photographed beautifully, lasted all day and night, and held up through happy tears, hugs, and hours of celebrating. Most importantly, I felt like the best version of myself. I still look back at our photos and love the way everything turned out. If you're looking for a makeup artist who is exceptionally talented, professional, energetic, and someone you'll genuinely enjoy spending your wedding morning with, Meg is your person. She was such an important part of my DREAM team, and I am so grateful!!

To put it simply, we love planning weddings. There's something magical about taking every little detail of such an important occasion and bringing them together to create lifelong memories for our couples and their families. ​ Based in beautiful Charlottesville, we are an experienced wedding and event planner team dedicated to making your dream wedding come to life. We don't want any couple (or their families) to have the stress of managing all of the event details on the wedding day. After all, the guests of honor should be enjoying every moment!

Working with Nadia was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very first meeting, she was kind, professional, creative, and organized. Every detail was handled with such care and we truly felt supported throughout the entire planning process. She understood our vision perfectly and elevated it in ways we never could have imagined. Her communication was always prompt, and on the wedding day itself, everything flowed wonderfully. We even tried out a new layout/timeline for our venue, and she nailed it! We were able to relax and fully enjoy the day knowing she was handling everything. Our wedding was beyond anything we dreamed of, and we owe so much of that to Nadia and Mary Elizabeth Events. If you’re looking for a planner who is organized, creative, organized, open, and genuinely invested in making your day perfect, look no further :)

Jack Looney Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $600
  • Serves Nellysford, VA

Jack is a longtime Charlottesville-Albemarle resident, and currently lives in "downtown" Crozet. He's been a full time photographer in Charlottesville's wedding community for 20 years. Specialties include surprise engagements, and weddings ranging in size and complexity from elopements with a handful of guests, to multi-day celebrations with many hundreds of guests.

We feel so lucky to have had Jack Looney as our photographer for our wedding at Montfair Resort Farm this summer. From the very beginning, Jack was professional, kind, and so easy to work with—he immediately put us at ease and made the entire process stress-free. On the wedding day, Jack was everywhere without ever being intrusive. He captured every moment—big and small—with such artistry and attention to detail. Our photos are absolutely breathtaking; he not only documented the day but truly told the story of our wedding through his lens. The way he captured the light, the setting, and the emotions of our friends and family still takes our breath away. Beyond his talent, Jack has such a calm and warm presence. He made us and our families feel comfortable in front of the camera, and he somehow managed to wrangle our energetic crowd with ease and humor. We’ve received countless compliments from guests about how wonderful he was to work with, and of course, everyone is blown away by the photos. If you are looking for a wedding photographer in Charlottesville (or anywhere, really), we cannot recommend Jack enough. His work is timeless, heartfelt, and extraordinary—we will cherish these photos forever.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Incredibly talented, always listens to the couple's needs, flexible, generous, smart, artistic, kind, and fun! Audra was the absolute best. She made us feel so comfortable, even though we are camera shy. The wedding flew by in a flash, but I'm so grateful for the incredible photos which will last forever so I can enjoy the day over and over again!

L'etoile Catering 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Caterer
  • Serves Nellysford, VA

We began serving Charlottesville with French and Virginia-inspired cooking at our restaurant, l’etoile, in 1993. Our catering business grew out of that experience, and out of our desire to take part in the celebrations, the rituals, and the ceremonies of people throughout the Central Virginia community. Catering allows us to reach, care for, and serve a larger audience, and to customize consistently excellent culinary experiences for our clients. We have a history of procuring the finest, freshest ingredients for the meals we create and serve, and access to those ingredients through relationships we’ve cultivated for more than 20 years.

Awarded Best of Zola
Vickie and Mark of L'Etoile made our wedding incredible from the moment we first started discussions with them. They were incredibly knowledgeable, knowing all of the important logistics that will matter during the day, caring, ensuring that all guests (and the married couple) were fed, and flexible, making changes with us as we moved through the planning process. The food was delicious and our tasting with Vickie and Mark was probably the highlight of our planning process. They worked with various allergies and dietary restrictions and made sure that the night flowed seamlessly. I also want to highlight that Vickie is incredibly kind and supportive of her staff, making sure that they were learning great skills in a supportive environment. As someone who has worked food service and catering before, seeing this made me feel even better about our choice to work with them.

We had our wedding at Boxwood Villa on May 4, 2024, and it was completely perfect. Our family from out of town came a few days early to get settled and prepare, and there was plenty of space for us to spread out and also to hang out together. The beds were insanely comfortable and the accommodations were amazing. While we planned to have the ceremony on the front lawn, the rain had other plans and the team jumped into action and was ready to host our 30 guests on the spacious, gorgeous covered porch. The cocktail hour was held on the first level, and the beautiful house made for some incredible photo opportunities. The lawn was the most amazing place for the tent where our reception was held, and it was just as magical as everywhere else. Everyone commented on how perfect the venue was, including my family. I can't wait to visit again in the future to re-live these incredible memories. Thank you, Boxwood Villa!!!

Trump Winery 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
Charlottesville, VA
  • Venue
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $30,000

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.
