Classy farm wedding venue located in Hanover County Virginia. Bentwood farms offers our 100 acres of green grass for you to create and enjoy your dream wedding! At Bentwood we say Its your wedding, planned your way! We offer fully outdoor or indoor ceremony and reception.

We won a giveaway for this venue and had no idea what to expect- but the owner, Logan, walked us through everything and helped deliver a wedding we will never forget! Logan is very helpful and communicative. The venue is rustic, charming, and quaint in all the best ways. The views are breathtaking- especially at golden hour! The arches and covered spaces are easy to make your own with decor and provide the perfect backdrop. The get ready space and parking is not ideal, but they have come such a long way in a short amount of time and continuing to make improvements every day as a brand new venue! I’d definitely recommend Bentwood Farms for your wedding.

Founded in 1925, this venue strives to be your home away from home, providing a safe and glamorous setting for some of life’s most precious moments.

Hosting our wedding here was a delight! The venue, food, and organization/suggestions of Amy Rapaport-Carper made our event spectacular. I highly recommend this venue for your next event! Our guests were greeted by a well organized staff who provided food and drink in classy parlors decorated with fireplaces and wood furniture. Meanwhile my new husband and I took photos on the grounds and were hand delivered Whiskey down by the river! Once we entered the building a receiving line (as suggested) allowed us to greet each of our guests and usher them into the ballroom. The tables were set beautifully and our guest enjoyed salad/bread while they waited for the buffet to begin, which was delicious! The venue allowed our music/dancing to be managed by aux plug and a wireless microphone. Throughout eating/drinking/dancing the staff managed plates well, served generously and overall the service was excellent. Our grand sparkler exit was suggested/managed by Amy's team spectacularly. We were glad to work with Amy and her team was fantastic. We recommend this for your wedding or event!

The Silk Mill & The Woolen Mill 

5.0

Fredericksburg, VA
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

The Woolen Mill & The Silk Mill offer a unique piece of history as the perfect backdrop to any couple’s specific tastes and provide a timeless atmosphere. Both venues were originally factory buildings in 1800s, and today the spaces provide an open and inviting space for 50-300 guests while still providing a personal and intimate setting. Each venue is truly it’s own and “one of a kind”. Both venues offer their own individual parking, ceremony and reception spaces, and getting-ready suites.

The Silk Mill & The Woolen Mill were the perfect venues for our wedding. From the start, their communication was effective, fast, and responsive. Shannon, our day-of coordinator, was amazing to work with from start to finish - she was friendly, knowledgeable, and able to answer all of our questions. The venues themselves were beautiful, affordable, and accommodating, with a timeless aesthetic that made for the perfect backdrop to our special day. Our wedding was at the Woolen Mill and I cannot recommend the venue or the staff enough! All of the staff were friendly and responsive, both over email and in person. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we highly recommend these venues to any couple planning their wedding.

Elegance Estates was the perfect venue for our April wedding. We got married in a church and had the reception at Elegance Estates, and it was absolutely beautiful. I am a very minimalistic girl, so I did not provide the venue coordinator (Brittany—she’s amazing) with very much decor or direction and she still somehow made everything look perfect. Their catering team is awesome and the food was delicious. The set up provides lots of space for guests to move and mingle, and we had a blast dancing in the ballroom. Would highly recommend! They made wedding planning so easy.

Hanover Tavern 

5.0

Hanover, VA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

Are you planning your Dream Wedding? – Congratulations! Thank you for considering Hanover Tavern as your venue! Weddings at Hanover Tavern provide a gorgeous historic setting for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Our variety of space options allow guests to be comfortable during all seasons and offer couples the ability to have a stunning outdoor or dramatic, softly-lit Coach House ceremony.

I am so happy that we were able to get married at Hanover Tavern, a venue with a lot of historical character that still offered a spacious, indoor location for the reception (and ceremony in case of bad weather). Being a restaurant, the cocktail hour and buffet options were delicious. And as another bonus, the getting-ready room for the bridal party was newly renovated with a make-up bench, big mirror and comfortable seating. However, the main perk of Hanover Tavern is the great staff. Everyone we worked with there was welcoming and effective. We could count on our main venue contact and day-of coordinator Krissy to make quick updates and answer our questions at all points in the process. She went above and beyond, for example by offering to create a seating chart week-of and by bringing us our own plate of hors d'oeuvres post-ceremony. Everyone also worked well with our DJ and photographer to make sure we hit everything on the timeline. They were instrumental in our perfect evening.

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely loved Sweeney Barn as our wedding venue! The space was stunning, with bright, natural lighting in the ceremony area that made everything feel warm and inviting. One of our favorite features was the ability to have an outdoor cocktail hour during golden hour—it created such a beautiful and magical atmosphere. The grand reception space, with its gorgeous chandeliers, added an elegant touch, and there were so many versatile areas for guests to explore, including an outdoor space perfect for stepping out for fresh air or enjoying a cigar. Sweeney Barn truly had everything we wanted for a perfect wedding. Andrea, in particular, was incredible to work with—she made the whole planning process seamless. We also worked with many of their preferred vendors, all of whom provided top-notch service and high-quality products. It was a dream come true, and we can’t recommend this venue enough!

Athenaeum 

5.0

Alexandria, VA
  • Up to 80 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,100

The Athenaeum is a beautifully preserved antebellum building, now serving as an art gallery. One of only two remaining examples of Neoclassical Greek Revival architecture in Alexandria, its exterior features an impressive portico supported by soaring Doric columns. Oversized windows bring natural light to the main gallery rooms, which boast 24-foot ceilings, wonderful woodwork, and exposed granite walls lined with rotating art exhibits. Your ceremony can be held in the sweet, private courtyard. This quaint, romantic space has a “secret garden” feel, sheltered from the street by high, vine-covered red brick walls. Please note wheelchair access is available only on the main floor. A/V equipment is available but limited. The Athenaeum is available for viewing during gallery hours or by appointment. Gallery hours are Thursday-Sunday from 12:00pm-4:00pm. The Athenaeum is closed on holidays. Advance notice for viewing the Athenaeum is appreciated.

We recently had our wedding at the Athenaeum in Old Town Alexandria, and it was a truly special occasion! The venue was just the right size for the wedding we wanted and the style made us think of the place we got engaged, on the Acropolis in Athens. The venue has a lovely indoor gallery space as well as a courtyard and we hat our ceremony outdoors and the reception indoors. A few things you should keep in mind if you are considering the Athenaeum: the space is on the small side, which we liked, but may not suffice for some weddings; you have to choose one of their recommended caterers or pay an added fee (though we were very happy with the caterers we went with and they knew exactly how the venue worked!); the venue does not include anything beyond the actual space, all vendors and services need to be hired separately. For us, this all worked out well and we felt our guests had a great time! The venue also makes for a beautiful backdrop for photos, just make sure to reserve the parking spaces in front of it. Our only minor issue was that the rental manager was not super responsive, but his coworker was, so it wasn't a problem in the end, I just didn't know who to reach out to at first. All in all, we are so happy we got to have our wedding at the Athenaeum! The art on display on the day was cheerful and modern and everything went according to plan. So excited to see more picture and relive the special day!

Cumberland Estate 

5.0

New Kent, VA
  • Up to 350 guests
  • Raw space
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $10,000

Cumberland Estate offers couples a selection of colonial-style buildings to host events of all sizes. An expansive property, the grounds are divided up into individual mansions, well-maintained gardens, and sports fields. Couples can transform their nuptial event into a weekend-long getaway filled with outdoor activities, relaxation, and private accommodation. Located just 30 minutes from Richmond and Williamsburg, is set in the middle of more than 3,400 acres in the beautiful tidelands of Virginia. The plantation grounds feature three carefully restored, 18th-century properties, each tastefully and meticulously appointed for all your event needs.

Cumberland Estate is unbelievable. If you’re looking for that perfect place for your dream wedding, look no further. Tucked back in the woods it opens up to a beautiful plantation that sits along the Pumunkey River. The views and landscape are breathtaking. From the flower gardens to the weeping willow cascading over the ponds , it’s romantic and beautiful. My husband and I got married at the estate in 2021. We stayed on the property in the Carriage House the night before and the night of our wedding. The Carriage House is also used for any guests that want to stay at the Estate. We just recently stayed again for our one year anniversary! It was just as wonderful as it was for our wedding! The staff here is amazing. They made sure we had everything we needed and they are so thoughtful. I definitely recommend Cumberland. There’s plenty of beautiful scenery for the perfect wedding photos. This place is like a fairytale. So magical! Oh, did I mention there’s a pool too?!

Dover Hall made all of my wedding dreams come true. I really wanted a Lake Como, European estate vibe for our wedding. I never thought it would be possible, especially in the Richmond area but Dover proved us wrong. Dover Hall was the first and ONLY venue we toured after getting engaged. We have received endless compliments on not only our venue choice, but the staff and ESPECIALLY the food. Emily, Wendy, and Chef Leah worked with us during the whole planning process to ensure we were satisfied with everything. The entire staff is extremely accommodating, kind, patient, and helpful with everything. They are so knowledgeable and really walk you through the entire process. I have never been to an American style wedding before so I had no idea what I was doing but they were extremely understanding and held my hand throughout the last almost 2 years. We also really wanted to incorporate Thai and Korean dishes with our reception and Chef Leah was able to collaborate with us to create delicious options for our guests. We wish we could go back everyday and relive it all over again, Dover Hall is truly one of a kind and such a beautiful place-- we are so happy with our choice.
