Indoor & Outdoor Event Spaces
Couples can choose from a variety of spaces to fit their vision and guest list:
The Barn – The heart of the venue, this spacious timber-framed barn blends rustic charm with ample room for dining and dancing. Soaring ceilings and exposed beams create a warm, welcoming backdrop that’s easy to personalize with floral installations, draped greenery, or soft candlelight.
The Loft – For an intimate ceremony, The Loft’s view over the main barn floor provides a distinct backdrop. It also serves as our dedicated indoor backup option, ensuring your planned outdoor ceremony remains perfect, rain or shine.
The Linden Grove – A naturally shaded outdoor setting framed by towering linden trees. Ideal for ceremonies, it offers a romantic, open-air atmosphere that feels timeless yet relaxed, especially when lined with lush floral arrangements.
The Terrace – An inviting spot for cocktail hour, complete with open views and fresh breezes. Guests can mingle under the sky while enjoying the changing light of the Virginia countryside.
The Lawns & Lake – Wide-open green spaces with serene water views, perfect for a scenic ceremony or a grand tented reception. The lake adds a peaceful, reflective touch to the surroundings, especially at golden hour.
The Cedar Pergola & Bar – A rustic-chic focal point for outdoor gatherings. This space works beautifully for bar service, dessert displays, or even an after-dinner lounge with cozy seating and floral accents.
Private Suite with Balcony – A stylish, comfortable retreat for getting ready and taking a quiet moment before the festivities. The balcony provides a private view of the property and makes a lovely backdrop for pre-ceremony photos.
Private Suite – An additional getting-ready space designed with convenience and comfort in mind, ensuring both partners have a dedicated area to prepare for the day.
