Our covered pavilion can accommodate up to 200 guests and we offer overnight accommodations for up to 8 guests. We have beautiful mountain views, inviting gardens, and multiple scenic ceremony sites.

I was SO happy to get be able to get my wedding date here! The planning that went into our wedding was astonishing. Isabelle and her team blew my mind with everything that was done for us. They had every last detail planned and it was amazing to see it all put together. I would have paid triple for what we paid for the planning and venue, it was that good. I never thought I needed a planner for my wedding but HIRE A PLANNER. It allowed us and our family to completely relax and not have to worry. Not only the planning but the venue, WOW. It was so so beautiful and convenient. Everything is on one property so there wasn’t extra traveling for our guests. And we stayed in the house the days prior to the wedding which eased my mind and allowed me to settle beforehand. I can’t say enough about how stunning our wedding was and how meticulous the planning was. Book it before you regret, I would do it over 100x.

Awarded Best of Zola
This venue is amazing. You have access to the entire camp - pavillion, dining hall, fire pits, lodges and cabins. We had about half of our guests spend the entire weekend at the camp with us. They even staffed the rock climbing wall for our guests Saturday morning before our wedding. There are so many options to make your event exactly what you want it, and the staff is so great and easy to work with. Best of all- the fees go towards sending special needs children to camp. Cannot recommend it enough!!

The Carolyn Baldwin Lake Pavilion

5.0

Farmville, VA
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $1,200

The Carolyn Baldwin Lake Pavilion is named after our dear loved one, Carolyn Varner Baldwin, who unexpectedly passed away in 2008 due to an allergic reaction. She was the matriarch of our family and a beautiful, one-in-a-billion type of person with a generous and loving spirit. She was a talented gardener, a devoted fisherwoman who could out-fish the best of 'em (we're talking "sun-up-til-sundown" kind of fishing), was creative and artsy, and never knew a stranger. We felt it only fitting to name this lovely place in her memory. We are a family-operated business. Joanna is the General Manager and works with each client to accommodate varying event needs. She handles a wide range of aspects of the business, from answering questions about what will make your event run smoothly to giving you layout suggestions. She has worked with over 200 wedding & event clients over the last 10 years and has learned quite a bit about weddings & event planning through her experiences.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were initially scheduled to get married in September of 2020, but we ended up postponing due to COVID until October of 2021. From contract signing through postponement and leading up to the final day, Joanna was a dream to work with. I was planning the wedding from New York, so I was really scared about all the details and worried because I wasn't able to come see things in person. The whole time Joanna was super helpful and made sure we had all the information we needed to have a wonderful day. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, no matter which season. We had our wedding right as the leaves were at peak foliage and it was beautiful. It was a little chilly the day of, but we were able to have the propane heaters running underneath the pavilion and all the guests had a great time. The sound system is really good, and it's so convenient to have the ceremony and reception in one place. The only caveat is that the pavilion is kind of isolated from anything else to do on the weekends except maybe some walking and hiking. However, this is compensated for in the price. You will be hard pressed to find a better financial deal with the offerings and capacity of the Lake Pavilion. GREAT if you are on a budget, and in my opinion you don't lose out on anything by picking this venue over something more expensive. Thanks Joanna, for everything!

Mimosa Lake is an ideal location for a destination wedding or event. It offers Southern hospitality at its finest. The centerpiece of the property is the 30-acre private lake backdropped by 300 acres of open fields and 400 yr. old evergreen trees providing year-round beauty and privacy for your ceremony.

We are less than 2 hours away from Lynchburg and Richmond, Virginia and Raleigh, NC. You've said Yes, now say I Do at Mimosa Lake.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Pavilion at Mimosa Lake in its self is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The wedding venue has a breath taking view of the lake, a gazebo, a water fountain derived from the lake behind the gazebo, the amazing (and so uniquely and charmingly) decorated indoors, and so much more concerning the scenery. My husband and I had great pictures taken after our intimate ceremony; the photo opportunities are endless at this venue! The scenery is amazing, but what was even better was working with Cindy Foley. Cindy made our day so special. She made sure all of the details were perfect and she made sure we had absolutely everything we could ask for. My husband and I are forever grateful we decided on this venue for our special day! I highly recommended this location! Lastly, this location has connections with caterers, bartenders, bakers, videographers, photographers, DJs, and more! As I said earlier, Cindy is amazing and she will make sure your day is special at this beautiful venue!!

Greenock Manor

5.0

Orange, VA
  • Up to 125 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $3,000

Greenock Manor is a 150 year old Farm house with towering giant trees (they are grand old grandpa's and we love them!) The Manor is a beautiful restored traditional American Victorian style farm house with a delightful wrap around balcony. We aim at a homely feel for our bridal families to reduce stress. We include a ton of props - so please visit us - we look so forward to meeting you We set up the ceremony chairs for our couples as well as the tables and chairs for the reception area before you arrive for your wedding day to reduce stress. Any decor items you need are set up by us such as shepherd hooks, easels, signs and much more. We also include lawn games and we have a firepit for use just to add extra ambience. Best part we are across the road from the nearest hotel so guests can walk to our venue AND up to 16 guests can sleep over at Greenock for the whole weekend - so many more happy memories. We can include a planner to manage your wedding on your wedding day too!

My husband and I got engaged in December of 2017. We were both so excited to start planning and had decided initially to wait until 2019 to get married. In February of 2018 my father was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. I was adamant on getting married while my father could be present. Chanel found a weekend in August open and held my hand through every step of the process. Not only did she go above and beyond through planning and staging but she also would text me to check in on my dad and offer us prayers. We rented the venue for the weekend which hosted myself, bridesmaids, and their spouses and CHILDREN. I cannot stress enough how accommodating she was not only to us adults but also to the ever curious little ones that scurried around. My day was beautiful and I got to build what I'd like to think of as a life long friendship with Chanel. She cared not only about our day but about my family. She made allowances for us so my father could have rest and have accommodations he needed. She never got upset with his (as he called it) "chemo brain" or when he was short - just more loving, patient, and understanding. Greenock manor will forever be so special to all of us.

What a beautiful venue! The Club at Glenmore is a perfect choice for a wedding celebration. Their facilities are gorgeous, with unique areas for getting ready, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, offering a one-of-a-kind experience for guests. They went above and beyond for my couple, turning their champagne wall from cocktail hour into a display of late-night french fries and sliders - how fun!! I love that they are an inclusive vendor for LGBTQI couples. Stacy is so kind and helpful, and helps make the wedding experience for the couple and vendors just seamless. I highly recommend The Club at Glenmore!

Barren Ridge Vineyards

5.0

Fishersville, VA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $2,000

Barren Ridge Vineyards is a small vineyard and winery in the heart of Virginia’s beautiful Shenandoah Valley. John and Shelby Higgs opened the vineyard in 2008, on land purchased by John’s father in 1934 when the farm was known as St. James Orchard. Clearing the land, tending the vines, and transforming the packing barn into a state-of-the-art winery has been a labor of love for the Higgs family. Part of their vision is to see other families celebrate the special occasions and milestones of their lives at Barren Ridge, and they created event spaces characterized by warmth, elegance, rustic beauty, and Southern hospitality, surrounded by a backdrop of spectacular views. Convenient to Staunton, Waynesboro, Harrisonburg, Lexington, Charlottesville, Roanoke as well as Richmond, Barren Ridge Vineyards offers an ideal venue for your celebration, with its friendly and knowledgeable staff, award-winning wines, breath-taking landscape, versatile event spaces, and gracious ambience.

My husband and I had to reschedule our wedding three times due to COVID and were under a time crunch: an upcoming military deployment. We decided LESS THAN A MONTH BEFORE to move our wedding to Barren Ridge. This was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. In my humble opinion, you will not find a better venue than Barren Ridge Vineyard. Not just because of the unbelievably gorgeous property, the delicious wines and beautifully spaces, but mainly because of Angela and Rob. Let’s first talk about the gorgeous property, we got married out on the beautiful patio. All our guests were able to sit outside on comfortable patio chairs with a view of the vineyard as they watched us exchange vows. Stunning. (You can also get married out in the vineyard, but due to August heat we choose not to). Next the delicious wine. Go to a tasting. AMAZING. Half our guests bought bottles as they left, they loved the wine that much. Beautiful spaces. The tasting room was perfect for a grab and take cheese board (we had them individually wrapped for grab and go COVID style) and bar. The room upstairs is spacious, inviting and gorgeous. We were able to have a dinner, cut the cake and do the first dances with plenty of space to social distance. The room is understated in a way that allows the architecture and the vineyard to shine. I hate over the top venues, but this room matches the décor of a vineyard perfectly. Simple flower arrangements and you’re done! Rob and Angela had different sized tables and other décor options which made setting up the room an easy feat. Now on to Rob and Angela. When I met them, I will be honest, I was in tears. My future husband and I were leaving for Japan for three years in September and if I didn’t pull off an August wedding, I wouldn’t be having a wedding. When I say these two LEAPT into action, I’m not kidding. They leapt! With their unbelievable amount of help we pulled together a wedding in a month. Armed with just a few sketches of seating arrangements and a small number of vendors Angela and Rob pulled off our miracle. I got the most beautiful wedding of my dreams. I also had a lot of COVID “demands” like all the tables with disposable water bottles, silverware and all food in to go containers. They helped make that work with the caterer. They allowed us to play music over the blue tooth speaker. The BRV team is amazing. When you get married at Barren Ridge, you choose to have Barren Ridge a part of your life forever. You open Barren Ridge wine every year on your anniversary. You have your birthday parties on the patio. You bring your kids on a picnic in the vines. When our original wedding was canceled, I was devastated. Little did I know I would still have the wedding of my dreams. It was better than the dream one I imagined (even with COVID). Our wedding day was so perfect. Barren Ridge is a place I will call home and a place I will keep coming back to, year after year. We are so lucky to have gotten married here. If you choose BRV, it will be the best wedding decision you ever make (after maybe the groom lol). (p.s. If you are planning a microwedding, Angela and Rob have been doing them since August 2020. They are experts now. Our wedding spread 0 cases of COVID and that’s in no small part to the diligence of the BRV team)
