Question 1

When may my ceremony begin?

Accepted Answer

“Day Use” rentals begin at 8 A.M., so your ceremony may begin as early as you'd like and when your vendors can be ready for you to do so! We recognize that every event is different and has a different set of needs.

Question 2

May I have a rehearsal for my ceremony?

Accepted Answer

Yes, of course! The Estate at River Run hosts events throughout the week so rehearsals should be scheduled 3 weeks in advance and be held during normal business hours. Rehearsals must be concluded by 6 P.M. unless hosting a rehearsal dinner at The Estate by contracting for a weekend rental.

Question 3

When may I access the building?

Accepted Answer

You and your vendors will have access to The Estate as early as 8:00 A.M. the day of your event unless you have agreed upon access otherwise or reserved the property for weekend use. If reservations for weekend use have been made then you and your vendors may access the property at the time of check-in for your group. [This is typically at 2 P.M. Friday for Saturday events.]

Question 4

Are there dressing rooms for the Bride and Groom?

Accepted Answer

The master suite and attached bathrooms are available to the Bride and her bridesmaids to get ready. The Woodhaven Room and all other spaces will be available at 8 A.M. the day of your event. We recommend having the groom and groomsmen arrive at River Run approximately 2 hours prior to the event for group pictures if their group has other daytime activities planned.

Question 5

Can your facility accommodate buses?

Accepted Answer

Yes, buses and shuttles are welcome and strongly encouraged. Cars may be left overnight in the parking area as long as they are picked up by 10:00 am the next day if there is no morning event scheduled. We have also widened our driveway and drive circle by the house to accommodate 55 passenger buses so they are able to make the turning radius needed.

Question 6

Are candles/lanterns allowed to be used for decor?

Accepted Answer

You are able to use candles in your decor, however, no open flames are allowed. All candles used inside River Run must be Lucid Brand Candles because they have built in snuffers. These may be rented from Kim Moody Design and are filled with oil. This will allow for you to have real flames inside without a concern for danger in order to protect guests and the property.

Question 7

Is event liability insurance required?

Accepted Answer

Insurance for the event is required and carried by the lessee. When calling your agent you will need to request a certificate of liability insurance in the amount of $2 million naming River Run Manor, LLC as the additionally insured. We are happy to suggest reasonably priced options, but most families go through their homeowners policy. Please follow guidelines in your contract.

Question 8

Are wine, beer and liquor permitted?

Accepted Answer

Yes, of course! We want you to celebrate! Having the appropriate ABC license on file is important. Our approved caterers carry this banquet license on your behalf if they supply the alcohol, or you may obtain a “one-day banquet license” from the state of Virginia. Of course, many of our hosts choose to have their caterers handle all of the “heavy lifting” when it comes to alcohol packages.

Question 9

How many guests can your venue accommodate?

Accepted Answer

Based on our Conditional Use Permit from Goochland County we can host up to 299 individuals inside the property.

Question 10

Is the site handicap accessible?

Accepted Answer

It is! We’ve just paved 3 fresh handicapped accessible spots off of the East side of the house. Individuals are able to come safely into the Tuscan Ballroom at that level or proceed through the elevator up to the first floor of the mansion.

Question 11

Are there adequate bathroom facilities?

Accepted Answer

There are 8 total restrooms currently open for guest use in the public spaces of The Estate you would be hosting your event on. The pool area only has one restroom and if you are hosting something in this area you will want to bring in a portable restroom trailer if you are utilizing that space for more than just the ceremony.

Question 12

What is your peak season?

Accepted Answer

May, June, July, August, September, October, and November

Question 13

What is your off-peak season?

Accepted Answer

January, February, March, April, and December

Question 14

Can we bring our own alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Yes, please coordinate this with your caterer.

Question 15

Do you have on-site parking?

Accepted Answer

We have large stone parking areas for up to 74 cars. These are near our private entrance gate about half a mile off of River Road. Should your group need additional parking we have 2 designated areas for overflow. These spaces can host up to an additional 130 cars, so parking should not be a concern.

Question 16

Do you have accessible facilities?

Accepted Answer

It is! We’ve just paved 3 fresh handicapped accessible spots off of the East side of the house. Individuals are able to come safely into the Tuscan Ballroom at that level or proceed through the elevator up to the first floor of the mansion.
