A wedding package here allows you 12 full hours on the property, which is longer than many other Virginia wedding venues. Their event tent is beautiful, and there are so many options to choose from for your ceremony, from the lawn beside the grapevines to the delicate gazebo.

This is an outdoor wedding venue exclusively, and there is no access to kitchens, so that will affect your wedding plans.
