Find the Best Virginia Wedding Venues for the perfect backdrop of your wedding festivities!

 

Here at Wine & Country, we believe some of the best wedding venues are right here in Virginia. Our beautiful state offers the perfect wedding location for any couple, whether they’re looking for a traditional church, vineyard or anything in between. No matter what vision you have for your big day, Virginia delivers. Thinking of a vineyard wedding? The Blue Ridge makes a stunning backdrop for any ceremony, not to mention the countless vineyard venues in the Shenandoah Valley. Looking for a venue with rich history? Our region offers plenty of historic Virginia wedding venues, each more unique than the last. We know that finding your perfect venue doesn’t just end at the ceremony—Virginia boasts some of the best reception venues as well. Whether you want a tent reception, ballroom reception, garden reception or something more unique, Virginia has a venue to meet all of your wishes. From stunning outdoor wedding venues to glittering indoor reception spaces, let us help you find the best venue for your big day!

When looking for your perfect Virginia wedding venue, here are three things to consider:

  1. The size of your wedding. When it comes to venue spaces, size matters. If you know you’re planning on inviting all of your loved ones, near and far, look for a space that can hold them all. Ask about venue capacity so that you’re not blindsided if you need to cut down your invitation list for a specific space. Not to mention, it’s hard to celebrate when you’re packed in like sardines! On the flip side, if you know you want an intimate wedding with your closest friends and family, find a smaller venue to perfectly fit your guests. Too much room between guests interferes with the lovely intimacy of a small wedding, so find somewhere you can enjoy each other’s company. 
  2. Lighting. The changing time of day throughout your wedding will impact the way your venue space is lit. And, how a space is illuminated can set the mood for your wedding; string lights can create a gentle, romantic glow, while a statement chandelier creates a bold centerpiece. Consider any lighting installations you would add and how you would place them within the space to match the mood of your event.
  3. Arrangement. Whether for the ceremony or reception, you’ll be bringing in all sorts of moving pieces. How do you envision tables arranged in the venue? Could you see yourself saying “I Do” in front of this backdrop? Where would you put a dance floor? Does this venue fit into your vision for your wedding? It’s important to consider all of the moving pieces up front.

No matter what you’re searching for in your dream wedding or reception venue, Virginia offers an option for every couple. We are so excited to help you with your search!
