Awarded Best of Zola
We recently got married at Gala 417, and the entire experience was fantastic! The venue is absolutely breathtaking, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about how stunning everything was. Working with the Gala 417 team, especially Sarah and Lyndsey, made the planning process enjoyable and stress-free. They were incredibly responsive and attentive, always quick to answer questions and ensure that our wedding day vision came to life in a way that felt uniquely ours. Lyndsey, our day-of coordinator, was amazing! She handled everything flawlessly throughout the morning and early afternoon, and we truly appreciated how well-organized and professional she was. Even though there were a couple of small bumps after her departure, such as the DJ needing a reminder for speeches, and a few of our selected beer options running out earlier than expected, the staff still managed to keep everything running smoothly. To future brides, I would recommend clearly emphasizing any specific beverage preferences during your catering and blueprint meetings if you or your guests have favorites to avoid any disappointments. We were especially excited about the food after trying it at our catering meeting—it was delicious, and we even bragged to our guests about it! However, on the day of the wedding, the food served was bland and inconsistently prepared. We had requested steaks to be cooked medium, but after the fact, many of our guests shared that their filets ranged from rare to well-done, with some even mentioning gristle or fat in the cut—which shouldn’t happen with a filet. This was a bit disappointing, especially considering how much we were looking forward to the meal. Overall, Gala 417 went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable. We would absolutely recommend this venue to future couples—between the gorgeous space and the dedication of the staff, our wedding was everything we dreamed of and more. We are so grateful to the entire Gala 417 team for making our day so special!

If you are looking for one of the best wedding venues in Williamsburg, VA, look no further! I've shot here a number of times (Zola only let me chose 10 out of 30 pics I wanted to show) and it is fantastic. First, the staff is wonderful as they are attentive and they go above and beyond for their couples. I love to see that because, as a photographer, I work closely with the staff so we can make the couple's day just as they imagined. There are great spots to get photos, just a short distance from the clubhouse. As a photographer, that is important because I want to get the amazing shots the couple wants without a delay getting them to the reception. The sunsets on the river are amazing and they get them ALL year. I've shot there in winter, spring, summer, and fall. You are in great hands with the staff at Two Rivers and you have the potential for stunning wedding photos. I highly recommend Two Rivers for you wedding day!
