Question
How do I get to the venue?
Answer
Venue Name: Greenock Manor Address: 249 Caroline St, Orange, VA 22960 Orange is a small town located about halfway between Fredericksburg and Charlottesville, and is about 40 minutes from each. The drive is a little less than 1.5 hours from Richmond and a little less than 2 hours from DC. Drivers heading from Northern Virginia/DC will need to either drive down I-95 and go west from Fredericksburg or take I-66 and then Route 15 to the southwest. Drivers heading from Richmond/Hampton Roads should go up I-64 and then take Route 15 to the north. The venue itself is located near the intersection of Route 20 and Route 15 where there is an Exxon gas station. The entrance to the venue is on a partially-hidden driveway along Route 15 right next to the intersection with a white sign that says "Greenock Weddings". The entrance is easy to miss, so make sure to drive slow near the intersection. For guests who are flying, the closest airport will likely be Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport (CHO), but it may be easier to fly into Richmond International Airport (RIC).

There are also other options located on the way to Charlottesville or Culpepper, which are both around 40 minutes away.
Question
How do I park at the venue?
Answer
The venue lot contains around ~55 parking spaces, including a handicap space and a ramp to enter the house. While there should be enough parking, the lot can be a little tight, especially for larger vehicles. The driveway is also a bit narrow. If possible, we recommend car-pooling to reduce the number of drivers and vehicles in the lot, especially for guests staying nearby in town.

Yes, there are no restrictions for children/toddlers/infants.
Question

The venue requires an additional fee and supervision of any pets, so we kindly request that pets be left at home.
