Want to say "I do" surrounded by colonial charm and lush gardens? I’ve always loved the elegance and timeless feel of Williamsburg, Virginia. If you're dreaming of a wedding that blends history, Southern hospitality, and cozy romance, this is one of those places that just feels right. From garden strolls to riverside views, Williamsburg makes it easy to fall in love all over again.
Highlights:
- Colonial Williamsburg – I walked through these historic venues and felt like I stepped back into a love story from the 1700s. If you want classic charm, this is it.
- Two Rivers Country Club – I once attended a sunset ceremony here, and the river views were absolutely breathtaking. You’ll love the mix of outdoor beauty and elegant ballrooms.
- Governor’s Palace Gardens – If you’re dreaming of something intimate and floral, I can’t think of a prettier spot. I wandered these gardens and instantly imagined vows among the hedges.
- Kingsmill Resort – I stayed here once and didn’t want to leave. It’s perfect for couples who want luxury with a view—plus, the spa and golf make it a fun weekend for guests too.
- Williamsburg Winery – I’m a sucker for a vineyard wedding, and this one blends rustic elegance with rolling hills and cozy wine cellar receptions. It’s a little hidden gem with a lot of heart.
