Planning to say "I do" in beautiful Virginia? I’ve explored some of the state’s most romantic spots, and I can tell you—you’re in for a treat. Whether you're dreaming of a vineyard view, a mountain resort, or something by the water, you’ll find a venue that just feels right. I love how Virginia blends Southern charm with breathtaking landscapes, and I think you’ll feel that magic too.

Highlights:

  • Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards – Charlottesville – I still remember standing on their lawn, Blue Ridge Mountains in the distance, and thinking, “this is straight out of a dream.” If you want vineyard romance with a view, this is it.
  • Keswick Vineyards – Keswick – I walked through these grounds and couldn’t stop smiling. You’ll love the Southern charm, the lush vines, and that peaceful countryside feeling.
  • The Jefferson Hotel – Richmond – If you're after something grand, I highly recommend this one. I stepped into the lobby and was immediately wowed—everything feels elegant and timeless here.
  • Great Marsh Estate – Bealeton – I’ve always loved a stately mansion wedding, and this one really stands out. You’ll feel like you’re in your own private world surrounded by gardens and history.
  • The Tides Inn – Irvington – I watched a sunset over the Chesapeake Bay from here, and it’s something you don’t forget. If you want nautical charm and waterfront views, you’re going to love it.
