“We picked this venue for a few reasons: beautiful mountain scenery and hillsides, the ability for us, our family, and our friends to stay on the property for the whole weekend, and it is so dog friendly! I couldn't have asked for a better venue. They were so easy to work with and communicated so well. They were very detailed in what they needed from me so I was never confused. They also went above and beyond, when we arrived they had a welcome basket complete with s'mores supplies, a custom pillow for us, and more. I absolutely loved my beautiful wedding weekend and it is all because of Batten Green.”

They also provided music for our wedding ceremony and wireless lapel mics so everyone could hear what was going on. He had the dance floor packed all night, and our guests are still commenting months later about how much fun they had. We added on the uplighting package which completely transformed our venue and it was worth it. We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to make our special day perfect.”

“Melinda, owner of Happy Finch Photography, is amazing. She took our wedding photos in October 2018. She was so professional to work with and made taking pictures for our wedding so easy. It took 3 weeks to get the pictures back and every picture was given to us in color and black and white. The pictures were so vivid and the colors just popped. We loved our pictures so much we hired Melinda to take family pictures for us a year later. If you’re looking for a photographer in central VA go with Happy Finch Photography.”

I’ve fostered a passion for visual storytelling for as long as I can remember! I love creating emotive albums of photographs that tell your organic story and help eternalize “once in a lifetime” moments. Timeless, authentic, and inspiring.

“Tori was hands down my favorite vendor to work with throughout our entire wedding process. She is incredibly thoughtful, talented, and truly goes above and beyond in every way. She traveled quite a distance into DC for our engagement shoot, which was included in our package, and that day actually turned into a surprise elopement for us. Without hesitation, she extended the session and captured the entire day so beautifully. It felt magical and it is still one of my favorite memories. Having her there truly felt like a gift. Her work is absolutely stunning. I love how timeless her photos are, and you can tell there is real thoughtfulness behind every single shot she takes. Nothing feels forced or overly posed. She captured so many genuine moments that we will treasure forever. On our wedding day she showed up and went above and beyond again. Not only did she bring a phenomenal second shooter, but she stepped in more than once to help keep things calm and running smoothly when our wedding coordinator was unfortunately very unorganized. She was more than just a photographer that day. She helped calm my nerves and truly felt like someone in our corner. Another thing that completely blew me away was her turnaround time. We received our album so quickly, which was incredible considering she is busy shooting weddings almost every weekend. I was honestly shocked at how fast she delivered such a beautiful gallery. She made the entire process feel easy and stress free from beginning to end. I truly cannot recommend Tori enough, and if we ever move back to the area I would book another shoot with her in a heartbeat. She was an absolute godsend and such a special part of one of the best days of my life.”

Frank and his team kept our wedding reception on the dance floor all night, through not only a playlist of bangers but also an acute sense of what song to shift into if the previous one seemed a little lackluster with the crowd (which only happened once anyway). Working with him was so easy and he's so personable; he truly made us feel more excited about the wedding every time we talked. We will be recommending him to everybody we know getting married in the area! They're amazing!”

“The Perfect Venue for the Best Day of Our Lives We hosted our wedding reception here as a cocktail party under the stars, and it truly was everything we dreamed of and more. The setting was stunning, creating a romantic and intimate atmosphere that felt straight out of a fairytale. Even though it was mid-June, the evening turned out to be a bit chillier than expected. We had originally set up cooling units for the caterer, but with a quick change of plans, the team seamlessly switched to heating units on the back deck. Their flexibility and professionalism meant everything went off without a hitch. The entire experience—from the ambiance to the attentive service—was flawless. I wouldn’t have wanted to celebrate our wedding anywhere else. It was the best day of our lives, and this venue played a huge part in making it so special.

“I live nearby and I had been to a couple of community events and a wedding at New Field Farm and I was so glad it was available for mine too! I can be very particular about details in my everyday life so I knew I needed a venue that would work with me and my vision. It is a barn/farm but the aesthetics and atmosphere are more similar to vineyard venues I had also toured. The packages available are very reasonable, I got the lowest tier which included the beautiful tables and table settings, both inside and outside chairs, and standard linens. I also paid for some additional services from the venue on top of my package; I had drop off service for catering so I needed to rent the venues chafing dishes and they required me to hire busing/cleaning services, I also rented the sound system and one of the rooms for a night. In total the cost was reasonable and I didn’t feel nickel and dimed, like I had seen at many venues. The additional costs added up to the same cost as my security deposit so I didn’t need to pay more in the end. My guest had a great time! My family and friends had an easy time setting up decorations the morning of the wedding. None of my guests or family needed to move any tables or chairs during setup or takedown, which may seem small but was a priority to me. Parking was easy, lots of accessible parking as well- though it is gravel so I can’t speak to all potential needs. New Field Farm was a dream venue for me and my now husband, the staff was very attentive to me and the details of my day. Would easily recommend!!”

We are inspired by the journey each couple takes to get to this single great day and so we take a storytelling approach to each of our projects, actively participating in the pre-wedding months and getting to intimately know our couples.

“Working alongside Lauren and Travis of Laureland Films was nothing short of a fabulous experience! As a wedding planner, my client was super excited about the opportunity to work with Laureland and from the moment I first reached out to introduce myself and coordinate a time to connect to run through wedding weekend details, Lauren and Travis were just so warm and welcoming; they were also quick to offer thoughtful suggestions to capture more of the clients' wedding weekend. On actual wedding weekend, Lauren and Travis were flexible to adapt their timeline to accommodate little surprise moments we hadn't planned for -- like an impromptu receiving line from cocktail hour into the reception tent, and cutting the wedding cake much earlier than originally planned. It was such a joy working alongside Laureland for my clients wedding and I can't wait to recommend them to my next clients and work with them again!”

“We cannot express enough gratitude to The Faded Poppy for the breathtaking floral arrangements they created for our wedding bouquets! From our very first consultation, The Faded Poppy was an absolute pleasure to work with. They listened intently to our vision, adjusted as we worked through the vision, offered excellent suggestions, and truly understood the aesthetic we were hoping to achieve. They even kindly helped us work through last minute freak outs, haha. The communication throughout the entire process was professional and reassuring. On the wedding day, when the bouquets arrived and filled the space, they were stunning and added that pop of color we were looking for. They were even more breathtaking than we could have imagined - fresh, vibrant, and perfectly arranged, capturing the essence of our day with such elegance. Every detail was meticulously handled, and the quality of the flowers was exceptional. The Faded Poppy played such a significant role in making our wedding day feel magical and beautiful. We received countless compliments on the flowers, and they looked absolutely incredible in al our photos. We wholeheartedly recommend The Faded Poppy to any couple looking for a truly talented and professional florist who will bring their floral dreams to life for the big day! Thank you again for everything! Sasha and Jonathan Thomas”

“We got to host our wedding at Love Ridge Mountain Lodging and we loved the experience. We appreciate the setting because it is beautiful, accessible and appropriately private. Having the 12 cabins there, as well as the camp sites, gave our guests many options and ample parking. All the rooms and beds are super comfortable. It was a perfect place to host a large gathering. People stayed two nights and enjoyed relaxing activities while we focused on staging the wedding - they could hike, ride e-bikes, play lawn games, relax in hot-tubs, and play with our photo booth. It was great! There were many spaces to choose from to create various atmospheres for the wedding. We used the lodge, the gathering lawn, the courtyard, and we had a tent on the open field for the reception dinner. We also had multiple bonfires and bar sites. It made the event feel varied and exciting, while keeping everyone in one place. The venue owners were very helpful and accommodating, happy to work with us during the planning process to make sure everything was taken care of. We're thus very happy to recommend this place!”
