Magic happens when you open the door of endless possibilities at Virginia House as though something lead you here where you are supposed to be. Natalie guided us through the wedding process with such ease that I felt as though I should be doing more but instead I got to enjoy the process. Every bride has a different journey and needs but I must say there is no better place to be in going through that path than with someone who has a passion for the business of love.
It was important that my groom and I share our uniqueness with our friends and family but it had to be on a budget. Our friends and family never knew it was a budget wedding. Instead we got nothing but compliments about how amazing it was even by the harshest critic. The whole night was like a dream that I will relive in my thoughts for years to come.

I was the Bride Francheska on 5/26/2012 and I LOVE the Virginia wedding house, everything went smooth and perfect. The owner of the Home was so helpful I only gave one day notice and she happened to have an opening the next day and the price was reasonable for an intimate wedding with family only. She help me find a minister and gave me a list of photographers’.. She was the best and a great help! Thank you so much for making my day special :-D
GUEST




Virginia's House is perfect if you're looking for a backyard type of wedding. My wedding was for only 25 people and it was very intimate. Natalie (owner) is phenomenal to work with. She thinks of the little details every bride forgets. She took care of so much for me so I wouldn't have to worry. The venue itself is nice in the day but gorgeous at night. To get a little of both, we had our ceremony just before sunset. I would definitely recommend Virginia's House to any bride...big or small wedding.

Robyn - thanks so much for your kind words. You guys were great to work with. I love a groom with lots of questions! Most grooms seem to let weddings happen to them - it was nice to see Chris involved in the process with you. We truly enjoyed having you here.
GUEST

GUEST




Virgina's House was the most wonderful experience that my husband and I will cherish for a life time. Not only did Natalie help us prepare our nuptial in such a short notice because my husband is military she was very flexible and helpful with all the questions I had. She even allowed a few extra guests, and "Grandma was free" :) Natalie is the most wonderful lady I am very excited to renew our vows at Virgina's house at a later date in the next year :)
Vendor response to review
Danielle - you are so sweet! I truly loved having you here. Our military families really have a soft spot in my heart - I'd do almost anything to make things work! I'm looking forward to your vow renewal when we get to throw the party.
GUEST




Natalie Stahl of Virginia's House was an amazing wedding planner and provides a perfectly romantic venue for brides who want to say "I do" outdoors!
Natalie has several years' experience under her belt and it shows. She wants nothing more than for you, your groom, family and friends to have the night of their lives. She provided great feedback, support and was responsive to all emails, calls, and needs. She's also flexible. She becomes more than a wedding planner!
GUEST




I gave a wedding shower at Virginia's House, and it was truly wonderful. Natalie Stahl was extremely helpful with all aspects of the shower. It was so much easier to have this shower at Virginia's House than it would have been to have it at home or any place else. The vendors that she recommended were fabulous as well (Amici's Catering and Truffle Trolley). I couldn't have been more pleased. I also had numerous compliments from the guests, and the bride was elated. I would highly recommend this venue for a wedding, shower, or any kind of festivity!
Vendor response to review
Thanks so much, Sharon! You really know how to throw a party. I loved the fabulous food and dessert buffet you ordered!
GUEST




Book your wedding at Virginia's House and you are basically signing up for a Cinderella experience, complete with fairy godmother.The unique venue -- Victorian-era home that looks like a wedding cake, surrounded by exquisite gardens -- is operated by a consummate professional. Natalie Stahl will work with you to make sure that you get the most from your budget. She is calm, good natured and knows weddings backwards and forwards. I used her preferred vendors and found myself being taken care of like I never imagined possible. Natalie answered any and all questions I had, helped me smooth out the rough spots and made the big day a complete delight. If there was a rating higher than 5, I would have given it to Virginia's House!
Vendor response to review
Thanks so much for the kind words!! Your event, your family and friends were truly fantastic. In my 13 years in business, I've never seen a group of fully committed and fully supportive people. Love was definitely in the air and the celebration was from the heart. May you love happily ever after.
GUEST




We could not have had a better experience with Virginia's House. Everything was more than we expected from them. We would recommend them to anyone who asks in a minute.
Vendor response to review
Thank you for your kind words. Your homemade touches to your event made it extra special. I'm glad to have been a part of it.
GUEST




I had my wedding at Virigina's house on 11/6/10 and it was the most perfect night of my life thanks in part to Natalie. The location was even better than we had anticipated. It was beautiful. Natalie was so amazing before and during the wedding. She answered all our questions quickly and on the day of the wedding she couldn't have been more helpful, from getting us drinks, to putting an apron on me so I wouldn't spill any food on my dress while eating, to making sure my vail wasn't driving me crazy! Her staff did an amazing job of transitioning from the ceremony to the reception, it was done in a blink of an eye. I would recommend Virginia's House to anyone who is looking for a wedding or event locations. I also just attended her Christmas open house and it was gorgeous. Thank you Natalie!
Vendor response to review
You guys are fantastic! I had so much fun at your event. The surprise guitar groom's cake was the best. I've truly enjoyed getting to know you and your 'planning crew'. Now you're part of the Virginia's House family - you're always welcome here.
GUEST




I had my wedding at Virginia's House Oct. 23 and I must say it was wonderful! I had so much fun and Nataile was the most helpful person I have ever met! Everything was PERFECT! I couldn't have asked for a more special day. The cost was great, the decorations, and the staff. I mean you won't find that anywhere else. I would recomend Virginia's House to everyone.
Vendor response to review
Thanks, Lanice!! You were such an easy bride to work with. I know how scary it can be to plan a long-distance wedding, but we worked it all out. Thanks for the rave review. We truly enjoyed having you here!

Virginia's House and Natalie are just incredible!

The Virginia House was an awesome location and facility to host our wedding and reception and my wife and i are completely satisfied with our choice!
GUEST




Thank you so much for your hospitality. The wedding was simple but elegant and we appreciate you making this happen
GUEST




Every bride wants the perfect place to have that special day. The Virginia House was an absolute magical outdoor wedding site. Between the twinkling lights for an evening wedding, and the manicured garden, it photographed beautifully! Natalie owner of the Virginia House was amazing. Natalie is very personable, easy to work with and is a great multitasker...she can get a bridesmaid dressed in a matter of a second, manage all the busy activities of the day and still remain smiling and laughing.
I am a "type AA personality" and have high expectations. The Virigina House exceeded my expectations and my family, friends and I will always remember the beautiful, no glitch, heartfelt wedding day!
Vendor response to review
Londa - thank you so much for all the kind words. I love a great type AA personality - we just get things done! You were a true joy to work with - you know what you wanted and had your carry-in items ready to go. You made my job easy that night. I'm very glad you had a great time - we did, too. :)
GUEST




What an amazing place to have a wedding. Natalie is the best wedding planning we could have ask for. The price was geat and the house was all that we could have ask for. Natalie went out of her way several times to keep us happy. Thank you from Paul and Maurica
GUEST




Natalie is AMAZING! She goes above and beyond what you would expect from a wedding and reception site. She made sure everything went smoothly and that I had a perfect wedding. I couldnt have asked for anything more. She made sure we had everything we needed, even items I forgot to bring! The house is beautiful and the landscape and decorations were wonderful! She does almost everything for you so you can have a stress free wedding! I didnt think this was possible, but Natalie is great. Thank you SO much for everything! You really do make all your brides feel special!!




Our wedding was absolutely beautiful and perfect and more than I could have ever asked for. Natalie was amazing and helpful not only on the day of but leading up to the wedding as well. She was flexible in meeting with us multiple times and taking the time to talk with us and answer all of our questions. The decorations were beautiful and the gardens are gorgeous. We felt so comfortable having our wedding at Virginia's. We felt as if we were surrounded by love and it made our day incredibly special.
GUEST




Our daughter had her wedding here at Virginias House and we could not have experienced a more beautiful, relaxed, fun evening than the one Natalie and her staff provided. Natalie provided us with a beautiful ceremony and reception with ALL the charm, ambience, and professionalism that other surronding venues charge more than double for. I thank Natalie and her team for making the most incredible, wonderful evening for our daughter and son in law and their 100 guests. I want to give a special thanks to Natalie (you are a blessing), Terri from Fairy Godmother's Creations for the beautiful (and very affordable) invitations, the DJ that works with Natalie (he really made the night fun) and her staff for their genuine kindness and hospitality. Oh and brides..ask Natalie about Christine who does amazing alterations at more than half the cost of bridal shops!
GUEST




We eloped at Virginia's house. Natalie made my wedding just as special as any other brides wedding could be. I was surprised at how perfect the setting was and how Natalie put me in contact with everyone I needed to help from Officiate to flowers. I would highly suggest Virginia's house if your wedding is just for the 2 of you or for a hundred friends and family members.
GUEST




Natalie did an incredible job with our wedding. Everything was beautiful and the pictures just came out gorgeous with all of the beautiful backdrops of this location. I highly recommend using Virginia's House for your wedding!
GUEST




We booked the mini-wedding/reception for my daughter with only 3 weeks notice and I could not have asked for a more perfect wedding. Natalie was very helpful and a joy to deal with. The setting is beautiful. We used the vendors she recommended for catering, cake & favors, hair & makeup, and photography and all of them were so accomodating and helpful. Every detail was delivered as promised. I would not hesitate to book another event at Virginia's House.
GUEST




Natalie was great and handled everything for me on the day of the wedding! She was very patient with all of my questions and able to provide recommendations when I needed them. The venue was gorgeous!! I loved everything about and am so grateful I found Virginia's House and Natalie!!!!!
GUEST




I was online searching and searching for a venue for my wedding and I knew I couldn't possibly want a different date other than what I had chosen. I was on the phone everyday for a month getting turned away until one day I decided to browse on google. I found Virginia's House and I immediatley called. I was so relieved that there was an opening and I called my fiance saying that i had found one. Natalie was so helpful and friendly. She worked with me and our budget and i thought the location was so beautiful. I knew I was going to have a wonderful wedding day, but it was far more than perfect. It has only been a week and it feels like it was just yesterday thaqt i married the man of my dreams in the most perfect place ever. Natalie made me feel like it truly was my day and at the same time made me feel so comfortable. We for sure thought that I was going to have an anxiety attack, but with Natalie walking me through every step; I sucked it up and went for it. I reccomend 100% that all brides go and at least check out Virginia's House.
GUEST




I recently had my wedding at Virginia's House in Glendale and could not have been happier with the site and services provided by Natalie Stahl and her staff. Natalie makes herself very available to her brides and their families. The Victorian house is gorgeous to say the least inside and out. The outside area were we held our wedding is very beautiful. From the white lights and ribbons that line the deck to the gazebo where the ceremony is performed was just how I pictured it should be. Breathtakingly beautiful and perfect. Natalie makes sure that every detail is done down to perfection and if something is out of wack she has the creativity and brains to make sure everything is just as it should be. Her staff if very curteous and helpful as well making sure that everyone is being taken care of. I highly recommend Virginia's House, I couldn't have found a more perfect place for my wedding.
GUEST




Virginia's House is a beautiful place to have a wedding. Everyone at the wedding was so impressed at how well things went and how kind and courteous the staff was. Natalie is the sweetest person and so helpful in making my daughters wedding everything she hoped it would be. I absolutely recommend an evening wedding (5 pm-10 pm). All the lights and the moon made for a romantic setting for a wedding and reception. Amici Catering did a fantastic job the food was amazing (especially the baked spaghetti pie). The Tulip Tree provided the flowers which were gorgeous. The Truffle Trolley provided the delicious cake and wedding favors (truffles of course Yum!!). Jody from Spirit and Light performed the wedding ceremony (she's so kind). Natalie takes care of everything the day of the wedding so relax and enjoy.
GUEST




Virginia's House is the most perfect place to have a wedding! We chose Virginia's House because of the beautiful grounds, the quaint house, and of course, Natalie, who is the absolute best to work with for any event. Even though our wedding was VERY small and simple, Natalie made sure every detail was taken care of. I had absolutely no worries about anything! Everyone had a great time and thought our Virginia's House discovery was perfect. I would never hesitate to have another event there!

I could not have picked a better place to have my wedding! The house and grounds are absolutely beautiful and Natalie is great to work with. Whatever she could help me with, she did. She helped my vision become reality. This place is definitely worth having your wedding at!
GUEST




My experience with VirginiaÂ’s House was phenomenal! It is owned by such an amazing person and she works with you through every step. The venue is beautifully maintained, reasonably priced, accommodating to any size, and most importantly the services provided by Natalie Stahl far surpass any expectations we could have ever had. I would highly recommend VirginiaÂ’s House to everyone!!
GUEST




The venue was fabulous and Natalie exceeded my expectations. No matter what I needed, she was available to help me out. She made the wedding experience less stressful.

Our experience with Virgina's House was awesome! Natalie was incredibly helpful, full of ideas and quite flexible. Our day was amazing becuase of Virginia's House.
GUEST




I ENJOYED THE PLACE AS WELL AS NATALIE AND HER STAFF. NATALIE IS VERY HELPFUL AND HANDLED A GREAT DEAL OF ITEMS AND MY STRESS FOR ME. SHE IS VERY GOOD AT CATERING TO ALL OF MY SPECIAL INTERESTS AND NEEDS AND IS VERY UNDERSTANDING AND FLEXIBLE.
GUEST




Let me just start by saying. Natalie Stahl and Virginia's House our AMAZING! The home is beautiful, and the backyard is adorable! Natalie was there for me the second I met her. I could call or email her will any questions or concerns I had about anything that had to do with the wedding. There are suggested venders on the website which makes it easy to find everything you need all in one place. Natalie helped with every little detail from last minute touches with decorations(which she provides to go with your wedding colors!) she made sure everyone in the wedding had flowers in place, and ready to go. She controlled the music,and most important, made sure i was nice and calm during the entire process. She remembered all the little things that a new overwhelmed bride would forget. Natalie and her home are perfect for a wedding or anything for that matter. And how great is it to be able to find an affordable place hole your wedding and reception in the same place, and it is pretty well located. I am so happy that I found Virgina's House for my wedding site. I don't think it would have gone as smooth as it did. And my photographer found some of the best shots with the great surroundings of the home. I really wish I could give more than just 5 stars because this place deserves it!!!!!!!!
GUEST




Natalie did an AMAZING job with everything, from the decorations to the coordination of vendors she was always on top of things. I would definitely recommend!!
GUEST




Natalie was wonderful to work with. She gave us ideas for a lot of the wedding items. She also did the set up/take down for the ceremony and reception and provided decorations.
GUEST




Natalie at Virginia's house is the major key in its success. She provides so much so that you do not have to go to a lot of out side vendors. She provides the tables and chairs. Her awesome team sets them up and tears them down for you allowing your family to really enjoy the day. She has so many beautiful center pieces to choose from and tons of little accents in all types of color. This was all included with the rental of the venue. Natalie has some preferred vendors that I was so happy I used. She really became my coordinator. She has a great relationship with everyone she works with and it made planning a breeze.
The house is like no other. I had the feel of a welcoming backyard wedding with the elegance of a 1900 house. The house is decorated in a way that really showcases its history. There are so many bonuses to this venue that I wish I could do it all over again. As for the price, there was nothing close to the services provided compared to the cost. Trust me I looked EVERYWHERE!!!
GUEST




Virginia's House was great! The house was beautiful at night with the twinkle lights-like a dream. Natalie was wonderful. She was willing to help with ideas and was really great at calming my nerves (huge plus as your wedding nears) I would recommend Virginia's House to anyone looking for a wedding venue
GUEST




In addition to the venue, Natalie also provided decorations based on the flowers and colors I chose for the ceremony. She is a wonderful woman to work with. Her contacts and vendor recommendations are excellent, and she is amazing at putting a bride-to-be at ease with all things wedding. She is a great sounding board, will answer any questions you might have, and will make sure her brides are well taken care of--by her and by any vendor she recommends! I lived in NM while trying to plan a wedding in Glendale, AZ, and I could not have chosen a more perfect location or wedding coordinator!! Consider Virginia's house. You will not be disappointed!!
GUEST




I have only now (January 2013) stumbled upon this website but after reading the reviews I can't help but add mine as well. Even though our ceremony was in September 2006, my husband and I still regard this as the greatest day of our lives and Natalie was instrumental in making that happen for us.
I wholeheartedly recommend Virginia's House for any event or celebration as Natalie will make sure that your day is everything you ever dreamed of and more.
We highly recommend Virginia's House and are always so happy to cater an event there. Natalie takes care of everything! They provide amazing customer service at a great value and their clients' expectations are exceeded with the team of vendors that they bring in. Expect "Above and beyond" service with Virginia's House!!!!!
We've had a number of brides work with Natalie at Virginia's House in Glendale. Not only do they rave about her reasonably-priced packages, but they appreciate even more the one on one attention they receive there. Engaged couples truly are treated like a member of the family, not as a date or number. We highly recommend Virginia's House.
Natalie and her staff at Virginia's House are top notch! If you want to get married at a place that is really going to treat you like family, then Virginia's House is the place to go. Beautiful grounds, great people, and an easy going atmosphere. What more do you want out of your wedding venue?
I have had the pleasure of shooting a number of events at Virginia's house and every inch of the property lends itself to great photo opportunities. It is a hidden treasure in the West Valley: idyllic venue, quaint, attentive staff, lush gardens and unbelievably beautiful. Natalie does a wonderful job caring for her couples and it shows in the pictures- happy couples, happy guests, great events. There really is something special about a venue that embodies making the bride the center of the universe for their special day, and you can absolutely find that here.
Neat venue, neat gals that run the place! I have worked at almost every venue in the metro Phoenix area with my bartending company Hey, Bartender! LLC and I have to say that the gals at Virginia's House were some of the nicest people I have come across in my 6+yrs in the wedding business. Not only that, but the venue itself is very unique and so darn cute. Highly recommended from an insiders perspective!
Fresh from the Kitchen LLC was highly pleased to work with the owner Natalie and her staff in making for a beautiful wedding! Everyone was so nice and very helpful. The wedding was PERFECT!!! Much thanks to Natalie and her team of staff. This is the place to book. They really care and it shows. Make the choice that will make you happy for a lifetime!
We catered a wedding at Virginia's House in the Historic area of Glendale. Beautiful! The house itself has a wonderful story and is tastefully decorated with many antiques. The ladies who ran the venue went out of their way to make sure everything ran smoothly for the bride, groom, and guests. These ladies really care and it shows.
It has been my genuine pleasure to officiate at many events at Virginia's House -- weddings, memorial services, and other occasions and observances. Natalie Stahl, the owner of this historic venue, knows everything there is to know about beautiful weddings on a budget, and she is a wizard at finding ways to maximize the impact of every penny spent. When you talk to Natalie, be candid with her about what you need to accomplish, and she will do everything in her power to ensure that your wedding day is everything you want it to be. I have worked for many, many venues and not one of them has ever come close to matching what Natalie does every single time for her couples. In these tough financial times, you don't have to sacrifice a lifetime of memories by getting married "on the cheap" in front of a bored clerk or in a cheesy storefront "wedding chapel." For a modest amount, you can have a real wedding in a restored historic Victorian home in the care of one of the nicest people I know -- Natalie Stahl.

Our main business is weddings and receptions, however, we also love to accommodate all other kinds of events.
