The Homestead

I got married at The Homestead and would suggest it to any bride. If you are looking for a real Elegant Southern Wedding in Virginia- this is the place. We had the rehersal dinner at The Gun Club. The ceremony was in the Crystal Ballroom and reception was in the Empire Room. The staff is amazing! Tricia Fry is wonderful to work with and Chef Todd is fantastic! They were very flexible in putting together a one of a kind dinner. The staff at The Homestead is so nice. There are many activities for guests also. The spa was wonderful and was able to fit all 8 of my bridesmaids. The Homestead even provides transporation to other B&Bs if you have guests staying offsite. It is a bit on the pricer side, but well worth it.

The Homestead was an absolutely wonderful place to be married! My husband and I got married in the winter, and it was just a beautiful setting. It didn't hurt that that was the Homestead's "down season" and our family and friends were practically the only ones there. We had our rehearsal dinner in the Commonwealth room, got married at the Catholic church a short walk up the road (shuttles were available), and had our reception in the Crystal Room/Empire Room (latter for the sit down dinner). It was a great deal in the winter and we got fabulous personal attention from the staff. Plus, it is a wonderful place to go back for anniversaries! I highly recommend it.


 
 I loved our honeymoon location. Set in the mountains it was a truly beautiful setting with a wonderful history. They have all inclusive options, where you can include your food and activity. We added on many spa treatments and golf. The 1766 Grill was amazing and was worth the up charge of $35 per person. We had such a wonderful amazing trip, everywhere we went people knew it was our honeymoon. They upgraded us to a suite at no additional charge and sent over champagne with almost every meal. They also went out of their way to accommodate any wishes we might have. It was expensive but totally worth it. We were the youngest couple there by about 25 years but we still had the most romantic time.
