Our Spaces

Waterfront Weddings

Dock ceremonies: Exchange vows on the James River with sunset light over the water.
Waterfront lawn receptions: Host dinner and dancing outdoors with river views.

Pond ceremonies: Smaller wedding parties can exchange vows beside the water with a quiet, wooded setting.
Photo time: Trails, fields, and river views give your photographer room to work without leaving the property.
