I honestly don’t even know where to begin. Our experience with The Lakehouse—especially with Daniella—was nothing short of incredible. From the very start, when we were just debating whether to choose them as our venue, they were beyond helpful in finding a date and time that worked best for my now-husband and me. We're from Massachusetts but currently living in Arizona, so you'd think planning a wedding from across the country would be difficult. Not with Daniella. She went above and beyond to make sure I felt like I was getting the full red carpet experience despite the distance. She was always available to hop on a call, pulled strings behind the scenes to make everything perfect, and honestly felt more like a best friend throughout the entire process. I seriously begged her to just join the party at one point! If you’re on the fence about choosing The Lakehouse—do it. It’s worth every single penny. I could list a million things that went wrong during the overall planning process and even on the wedding day, but none of it had anything to do with Saphire Event Group. I also want to give a huge shoutout to Aubre and Cortney. While I didn’t work with them as closely as I did with Daniella, I met them the morning of the wedding and they instantly made me feel comfortable and welcomed. They advocated for me when I needed it, provided reassurance, and made me feel like I was their top priority the entire day. And yes—it rained on my wedding day. But I loved this venue so much that being inside didn’t even faze me. The transition from the outdoor setup to the indoor ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was absolutely seamless. I honestly don’t know how this team operates with such perfection, but I’m telling you—they do. Thank you all for making me feel so supported and at home during one of the most vulnerable times in my life. And Daniella—a huge thank you for all your care, support, and empathy during the MAJOR bumps in the road. I truly don’t know what my wedding day would’ve looked like without you, I probably would've convinced Bryan top elope instead. One hundred time over, thank you SOO much Daniella, you're made for this. Your humanity went a long way for me and its because of you my day was perfect. LOVE YOU ALL!!! ps.. I'd like to add how attentive the servers and bartenders were. I saw them very little, however, when I did encounter them they were super kind and there to do one thing - amazing customer service. I only heard positive comments about EVERY staff member at The Lakehouse. I also cannot forget the chief, I was so overwhelmed by guest raving how top tier the food was. Thank you all for delivering the absolute best experience to our family and friend... and vendors!

Our wedding on May 1, 2026 was truly the best day of our lives, and the entire Hudson House team exceeded every expectation we had. We had a bit of a rocky start during the initial booking process, but once Elena, the General Manager, stepped in and connected us with Gabriel, the Director, everything became seamless. From that point forward, we felt completely taken care of. The food tasting alone was an experience unlike anything we've ever seen. It was an incredible feast and gave us a firsthand look at how Hudson House executes events and the level of service they provide. The food was absolutely outstanding, and our guests are still talking about it weeks later. One of the things that made our wedding feel extra special was having the second-floor room available for cocktail hour instead of the overlook above the reception space. While both spaces are beautiful, having a completely separate floor created such an incredible guest experience. Many guests thought the cocktail hour space was the reception itself, only to be amazed when they discovered there was another floor for dinner and dancing, followed by the Stork Club for the after-party. Everyone loved the progression of the evening and how each part of the celebration had its own unique space. The cocktail hour was truly next level. We received countless compliments about the amount of food and the variety of stations. Guests repeatedly told us they had never seen so many options at a wedding. One detail that made a huge impact was having our signature his-and-hers drinks already waiting for guests as they entered cocktail hour. People loved being able to grab a drink immediately instead of standing in line at the bar, and it was one of the most complimented touches of the night. What impressed us most, though, was the service. Every single staff member was warm, friendly, attentive, and accommodating. If a guest needed something, it was handled immediately. The professionalism and hospitality were truly exceptional. A special thank you goes to Maya, my bridal attendant, who was absolutely incredible from start to finish. She was by my side all day, constantly making sure I had water, checking on me, helping me stay hydrated, and ensuring I had everything I needed. She even helped clean the dirt off the train of my dress after photos. Maya was calm, thoughtful, diligent, and genuinely cared about making my day perfect. Before we left, she made sure all of our belongings were packed and organized, and she carefully packed up the food and cake I requested to take home since I knew I probably wouldn't get a chance to eat much during the wedding. Thanks to her, we were able to enjoy so many of the amazing dishes once we got back to our hotel. Gabriel was equally incredible throughout the night. Anytime I noticed something that needed attention, no matter how small, he addressed it immediately. Knowing he was there overseeing everything allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our wedding day. Hudson House delivered beyond our wildest dreams. The venue is stunning, the food is phenomenal, the service is unmatched, and the entire team genuinely cares about creating an unforgettable experience. Everything ran so smoothly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment. The only downside is that the day goes by way too fast. We honestly wish we could do it all over again. We cannot recommend Hudson House enough.

We hosted our wedding weekend at Casa Loma Beach Hotel recently, and it exceeded every expectation. With guests flying in from across the country and around the world, we heard nonstop praise about how cozy, elegant, and effortlessly chic the hotel felt (plus the cocktails and cookies were top notch). The staff was incredibly accommodating--helping with porterage, clear communication, and even a few lost-and-found rescues (thank you Amber!). Allene and Elisa were standout stars throughout the weekend helping us host several events at the hotel over three days - and stepping in to address curveballs from vendors and weather. When a once-in-a-blue-moon monsoon forced us to pivot from our planned rooftop events, the Casa Loma team handled the change with grace and creativity, preserving the overall vibe we envisioned. Guests-both locals and out-of-towners-couldn't stop raving about the views and the unbeatable location. Some spent time in the cute nooks and crannies throughout the hotel or relaxed on their balconies with those unmatched ocean views (when the rain finally let up), while others wandered over to Marine Room for late-night drinks thanks to the perfect location. And of course, the food via Sapphire was amazing! We were able to check off all our boxes when it came to cuisine and transport our guests to all ends of the earth with food from the Mediterranean, Malaysia, and South America. The Late Night Bites of sliders, fries and chicken tenders were crowd MVPs at our Afters. Thank you to the entire team for transforming a rained-out wedding weekend into the intimate, romantic wedding of our dreams.

We hosted a black-tie winter wedding (late February) with the Estate at River Run (ERR) and were blown away by the event. One of the biggest draws for us with ERR was the venue’s ability to accommodate both indoor and outdoor ceremonies and receptions with gorgeous locations for each. This allowed us to plan for an indoor ceremony but flex to an outdoor ceremony the week of the wedding to take advantage of good weather! Several months after our wedding we still have friends and family telling us how gorgeous the venue was! ERR did a wonderful job communicating during the planning process and ensuring we knew what they needed from us to host a successful event. The staff and security during the event were wonderful, the venue itself was an absolute fairytale for our wedding day. If you are looking for a venue that can host a black-tie event in central VA or the greater Richmond area, please consider ERR!

It was a wonderful experience working with The Vecoma by the Yellow River. They are top notch professionals. The food was the best I have ever had. (To name a few - Salmon, roast beef- caesar salad and Mac and cheese were so good).. The guests could not say enough good things about the food. The venue itself is gorgeous. We had a fall wedding down by the river. Leaves were falling and it was just magical. The cost for this venue is a steal. Book this place!! The owners are the best and everything is very organized. Caroline is a wonderful photographer and so easy to work with. The day went so smoothly. Within a few days, we received a few sneak peek photos and then a great short video of our wedding. Our day was wonderful and stress free thanks to these people! I have had three daughters get married, directed and decorated for many weddings in my lifetime- and I can honestly say- this is the best I have worked with and seen.

The Pavilion at Sunken Meadow was a perfect venue for us! We knew we wanted something a little bit unique as a venue, and this was it! We were able to have our ceremony on the boardwalk and then guests were able to move around on the boardwalk and the beach throughout the night. We also loved that we were able to have our band and dancing in one room with dinner in the other. There is a lot of space to utilize however you want, so we used the outside areas for our guestbook signing, a photobooth, and a glassware engraver. We also got super lucky with a sunset too! They were very accommodating with any requests that we had prior to the day, and made sure that we were taken care of throughout our day. Everytime myself or my husband turned around someone from the Pavilion was making sure we were fed, had a drink or needed anything! Tarek, Henry and Anthony were extremely attentive throughout the night. Our guests were raving about the cocktail hour, dinner, dessert and midnight snacks. We also added the hotdog cart for an exit station and ended up adding passed desserts which we loved! Just a note that this venue is being taken over by a new company so I’m not sure what changes are being made!

Key Largo Lighthouse is a complete paradise. From the moment we started planning, everything was a dream. Everyone who came to our wedding had the nicest things to say about this venue, and several told me it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to! One of the most special parts of this venue is being able to stay on-site for the weekend with your closest family and friends. The property is absolutely stunning! So well kept, peaceful, and relaxing. It truly feels like your own private oasis where you can just soak in every moment surrounded by the people you love most. The planning process was effortless. Choosing vendors was easy, communication was smooth, and the whole experience was stress-free. The food was absolutely delicious. In my opinion (and many of my guests), it was the best wedding catering ever! The beach houses were so clean and made my day completely worry-free. Everything came to me,hair, makeup, decorating, so I got to relax and enjoy my morning with my bridal party instead of traveling anywhere. Our wedding planner, Ali, was the best decision we made. She made sure every little detail was perfect. Even when I forgot to put my garter on, she was right there to help. She’s professional, kind, and truly cared about making our day flawless. She even took behind-the-scenes photos that meant so much to me. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. My wedding day was more than I ever imagined, and I owe that to Key Largo Lighthouse and Ali!

Working with the orchard wedding venue on many occasions has been super fun and with ease. As a vendor I'm able to communicate with the owners and receive quick responses back with regard to loading and unloading equipment. Easy access to multiple overhead doors makes the process of setting up for weddings a lot easier than other locations. The staff themselves are super friendly and know exactly what they're doing based on experience I believe honestly. If there is any need for help with anything such as tables or chairs the venue without question is able to help. Keep in mind everything is a two-way street and venues like this expect professionalism and I can appreciate that. From time to time the breakdown of equipment can be lengthy in the process. The Orchard wedding venue has much patience and allowing things to be taken down in a sufficient amount of time. I truly recommend this venue for your special day it will be unforgettable from the picturesque view to multiple locations for wedding ceremonies.

Working with Pelican Club was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, Courtney and Christina were incredibly helpful during the initial planning phase. We visited the venue multiple times—often bringing our parents when they were in town—and they always welcomed us warmly. Their vendor list and thoughtful advice made selecting our dream team so much easier. We chose not to hire a day‑of coordinator, and we are so glad we didn’t. Brittney was exceptional. She guided us through the rehearsal, handled all the setup of our décor items, and ensured the entire day ran smoothly. She coordinated seamlessly with all our vendors and made sure everyone had exactly what they needed. Our bridal attendant, Tequila, was the star of the show—our families are still raving about her. She was there the moment we needed anything: grabbing drinks, fixing dress zippers, adjusting veils, and packing up our belongings at the end of the night. Her presence made the day feel effortless. The entire Pelican Club staff, from the chef to the catering team, absolutely blew us away. The sea bass and steak duet was phenomenal, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about the cocktail hour—from the raw bar and charcuterie to the Greek station and the incredible bartenders. Pelican also offered butler‑passed drinks as guests arrived before the ceremony, which was such a classy and memorable touch. Pelican Club is a well‑oiled machine, delivering elite professionalism and truly high‑end service. And of course, the view is unmatched—the best look at the Jupiter Lighthouse you could ever ask for. We couldn’t imagine a more beautiful, seamless, or joy‑filled wedding day. Pelican Club exceeded every expectation.

About wedding venues

How much do wedding & reception venues cost?

The cost of wedding venues varies, with factors influencing cost including size, location, guest count, and, most importantly, whether things like catering and rentals are included. The more a reception venue near you includes, the higher the cost. When considering venues, try to compare prices apples-to-apples. If one venue includes catering and rentals in their pricing and the other doesn’t, you need to figure out how much additional cost those outside vendors would be to make a true comparison. Before booking, be sure you’re aware of additional costs outlined in your contract, like parking fees and weather-related considerations (adding a tent, etc.).

What questions should we ask wedding venues?

When talking with a potential venue, always ask about 1) their availability and 2) their capacity. Some popular venues book up peak season Saturdays nearly 2 years in advance—if your first choice date isn’t available, consider your flexibility on day of the week and year. While maximum capacity is non-negotiable, venues might have guidance on what guest count will be most comfortable. Also, you’ll want to understand what is and is not included in the venue’s fees. Some include catering, tables and chairs, and linens, while others offer just the raw space. These venues are often less expensive because you are only paying for the space itself, and you’ll have to bring in outside vendors
