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.

“Big Oak Manor & Ranch was the perfect venue for our wedding. The communication and support from Jen and Ian throughout the planning process was outstanding - they were incredibly responsive and helpful in ensuring every detail was taken care of. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, with amazing views that provided a stunning backdrop for our special day. From the lovely landscaping to the romantic, rustic feel, there were so many beautiful spaces for us and our guests to enjoy. The attention to detail was evident in every aspect, creating a truly memorable experience for all. Our guests raved about the unique and charming atmosphere, and we are thrilled we chose Big Oak Manor & Ranch to host our wedding. It's a must-see venue!”

“spent a whole weekend here for my wedding. If you're looking for a stress free and organized wedding Chanel is your girl. She had a complete timeline for all things and makes sure the bride doesn't have to do a thing. Her venue is very beautiful, vintage, and just perfect! The rooms are beautiful, however the only downfall we had were the beds were not comfortable at all which made it difficult to fall asleep. We had her husband Jim officiate our wedding as well, he is just as helpful and sweet as Chanel is.”

“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!!!”

“We first visited The Market at Grelen in the middle of December, and immediately knew that if it could look that beautiful in winter, it was going to be amazing for our October wedding. We had no idea how right we were. Grelen is filled with so much nature, is incredibly peaceful, and unbelievably gorgeous at all times of the year. The clear-top tent was a showstopper and all of our guests remarked how unique and beautiful it was, especially with the string lights. We were able to use almost all of the grounds for the most spectacular photos, from the greenest fields to their apple orchards and more. But most importantly, our ceremony location (the Berry Lawn) was just perfect. We had a smaller wedding with 80 guests and they fit so comfortably there, though the space could easily fit 150 at least. It was just the most beautiful location to get married, with the rolling mountains behind you as you say your vows. Their team was helpful from the very first day we stepped foot on the grounds, through all the wedding planning, and the wedding weekend itself. They sent us recommendations on vendors (which help us build our dream team -- they were all amazing!), kept us up to date on everything going on at the venue and shop (which has really good food, by the way. We had lunch there with our wedding party families before the wedding rehearsal), and double confirmed all details the week before the wedding. We also stayed at their 118 Suite property and really loved it! Also, they let you use some of their flowers and trees! This helped us save a bit on florals and really elevated every location. Our favorite were the magnolia trees in the tent :) Overall -- you will have an absolutely stunning wedding if you get married at Grelen!”

“My entire bridal party and I stayed here my wedding weekend and it was fabulous! The house is so large so no one felt on top of eachother with multiple seating areas and common spaces all beautifully decorated Not to mention my cousin and I got to wake everyone up with our piano playing in the formal living room on the day of our wedding. The property is absolutely gorgeous and I felt like I was in a Nancy Myers movie while staying here. The landscaping is so well done and the massive kitchen was so helpful in feeding everyone while we were getting our hair and makeup done! Not to mention it was so great being able to have my dog there with me!”
