Nestled in the peaceful, rolling farmlands of Charles City, Open Air The Glebe is only 30 minutes from Richmond or Williamsburg. This 10 acre farm features a historic home, scenic tree-lined drive, multiple barns, and a large tented patio. You can have your rehearsal dinner in the Tractor Pavilion, host your wedding reception under our 60'x90' tent, continue celebrating with an after-party--or whatever you like for a day, or for a long weekend. Our philosophy is that a celebration should reflect the vision, the culture, the traditions of each couple, therefore we allow you to hire the vendors that you choose (the day should not reflect our tastes and that of our "preferred list" of vendors/friends). The Events Team of Open Air The Glebe has over 50 combined years working in the event industry, therefore you also get the benefit of all the experience and resources that we have. Whatever you desire, we can make it happen!

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.

Belle's Pleasure was an ideal venue for my daughter's outdoor wedding! First of all, the cottage is so lovely and was a very comfortable place for the bride and her attendants to get ready for that most special day! The grounds are gorgeous and pristine in every direction, from the beautifully lit up barn to the pond and natural tree background. Guests thoroughly enjoyed lawn games on the expansive well manicured grass, and spending time at the pond and charming dock area. Emily, the owner, is very friendly, available, and could not have been more accommodating. We had an amazing, very memorable, beautiful wedding at Belle's Pleasure!

Burlington Weddings & Events was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first spoke with Madison, her communication was effective, efficient, and always pleasant. The venue itself was gorgeous, with a timeless feel that was worth every penny. Despite some tricky wind conditions trying to ruin our decor, Madison and the team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. They were so efficient in loading and unloading that we were able to get out of there early. While their services may come at a premium price, you truly get what you pay for with the amazing team and stunning venue they provide. We couldn't be happier with our decision to host our special day at Burlington Weddings & Events.

Boxwood Villa was an exceptional wedding venue for our special day. From start to finish, their communication was fast, efficient, and incredibly helpful. The quality of their work and the value they provided was unparalleled - the grounds were beautifully manicured, with an expansive woodland forest setting that created the perfect backdrop for our celebration. Nichole, our Grelen coordinator, was always available to answer our questions and provide guidance throughout the planning process. They have a wonderful selection of approved vendors, but also gave us the flexibility to work with our preferred tent provider. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue to host our wedding, and we're so grateful to the Boxwood Villa team for making our day truly magical.
