This will be an adult-only event. If you have little ones, we hope you'll look forward to this being a night out.
Unfortunately, space is limited at the vineyard. Only guests included specifically on the RSVP page will be able to attend.
The event will be Black Tie Optional. The wedding ceremony will be held outside (weather permitting) followed by a cocktail hour and reception indoors.
Veritas is approximately 25 minutes outside of Charlottesville. We will have shuttle buses that can be RSVP'd for when RSVPing available to take guests to/from the vineyard departing from the downtown mall. Due to the slightly longer travel times of a bus and the importance of starting on time, the buses will load at the Residence Inn (see Travel page) at 4:45 and leave promptly at 5:00pm.
Yes! Veritas has a parking lot that extends into a large field for overflow parking. When planning your transportation, please keep in mind that Veritas does not allow cars to be left overnight.
We know many of you are traveling from far away to visit us. We would love to see you the night before at Bar Baleno (209 Monticello Rd, Charlottesville, VA 22902) from 8pm-11pm to hang out more informally and have cocktails. There will also be a farewell brunch to say goodbye to friends/family before they leave town (although anyone is welcome to join) the day after, November 2, at our house (726 Levy Ave, Charlottesville, VA 22902). Please see the Schedule page for further details.
Due to the time of year of our ceremony, the sunset will happen shortly after our ceremony begins. Because of this, we must begin on time. Please arrive by 5:45pm. All guests must be seated by 6:00pm.
See the Travel tab of this page for our hotel block and some other nearby hotel details. Charlottesville also has a multitude of other hotels and Airbnb options at various price points. If looking at Airbnbs and you wish to book near the downtown mall area (where the welcome event and our house is located), look for places in "North Downtown Charlottesville" or "Belmont Charlottesville." If wanting to book an area near the venue itself on Airbnb, Veritas Vineyard is located in Afton, VA.
Yes! There is a question on the RSVP page where you can provide this information. Please notify us there ahead of time - this will not be something we can alter the day-of.
