City Cruises Norfolk was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. They were responsive, courteous, and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. The value was definitely worth it for an all-inclusive venue - the food was delicious, the wait staff was amazing, and the DJ kept our dance floor packed all day long. The crew on the day of the wedding was absolutely incredible, ensuring everything ran smoothly so we could simply enjoy ourselves.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were married at The Boathouse at Sunday Park this summer and we could not have been happier with our venue choice. Amanda was so enthusiastic and timely in responding to all of our questions during the planning process, and her extensive knowledge of weddings ensured that no detail was overlooked. On the big day itself, the staff went above and beyond decorating the venue with the items we had dropped off the day before, allowing us to relax and enjoy our special moment. The Boathouse at Sunday park, which overlooks the lake, was the perfect romantic backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Everything was lovely and ran so smoothly thanks to Amanda's careful orchestration. We are so grateful to her for helping our wedding vision come to life seamlessly. The Boathouse is a gem for couples looking for a venue that offers gorgeous scenery, delicious food, and attentive yet unobtrusive coordination.

Riverside Vines is a brand new venue, and you would never know. We got married in November 2022, it was 70 degrees and beautiful. The lake front ceremony is stunning, your wedding is on a farm yet everything feels very modern. Communication was great throughout the whole process. I had my guests stay at two hotels in Chester, VA so it was only 20 minutes from the venue. Everything was seamless. We also stayed at the farm house on site, that's the way to do it. SO much less stress the morning of your wedding because you're already there. All of my bridesmaids loved the house, it was massive and had everything we needed. Couldn't recommend this venue enough. It's only going to get better each year, I can tell. Thank you RSV!

I honestly couldn’t have picked a better venue than Waverly Estate. There’s no venue like it that gives you the flexibility of coming in on Friday & staying until Sunday. We had no worries about clean up after the reception or scrambling the morning of between a hotel & the venue for getting ready. On top of all of that, the all inclusive package that Waverly has is NEXT LEVEL. I didn’t have to search for vendors because Waverly had them already available & built into my package. It was an absolute dream to have one less thing to stress about. Their coordinator, Rachel, is absolutely amazing too. She answered every question I had & was the best cheerleader for us on wedding day. She had everything completely organized & made my vision come true for our wedding. My wedding was a dream come true, in huge part to the team at Waverly Estate.
