About this venue
Open Air The Glebe is the newest, yet oldest, wedding venue in Charles City County. The historic home was built circa 1745 to serve as the home of the pastor of Westover Parish and was, on occasion, the site of elopements during the mid 1700's. Today, you can host your wedding reception under our 60'x90' tent, have your rehearsal dinner in the Tractor Pavilion--or whatever celebrations you like for a day or for a long weekend. Make your celebration as lavish or casual as you like. Whatever you desire, we can make it happen.

This place is one of a kind! A true gem.
You'd never know something like this place existed. Its great for so many different occasions. I had the honor of filming a wedding there and it was beautiful.
Amazing Venue
This is a very unique and amazing venue. Steve, Patti, Michelle and the team are wonderful to work with. They have thought about every detail for their clients and continue to raise the bar on service. We cannot wait to work with them again in the future!
Perfect Location
Working with Michelle at Open Air The Glebe to plan our daughter's wedding has been a dream come true! She has made the process stress free and is always sure to get back with us quickly if we have any questions or concerns. We cannot wait to celebrate with our friends and family at this beautiful venue.
Beautiful, historic, spacious Open Air
Beautiful, historic home at Open Air. The grounds and large, old trees make this venue such a beautiful backdrop. And it's so Virginia! Use of house, barn, and, of course, the back yard with large brick patio and tent make this perfect for any size gathering. Michelle, Steve, and Patti have been so accommodating and have wonderful, helpful ideas for the space. Grateful we have a few extra days to set up for our wedding and don't have to hurry to break the reception all down. It has been a pleasure to work with the Open Air staff.
