    Merry and Married!

    We chose Historic Jasmine for our December wedding, and it was by far the best experience from start to finish. Out of all of the vendors we chose, the folks at Historic Jasmine made us feel the most valued and special for our big day. The communication is amazing and questions are answered quickly. They were able to change my ceremony location on site in a few hours notice. I highly recommend you take a look at their venue!

    September wedding

    The smith family went above and beyond to make this space absolutely beautiful. As soon as my husband and I walked on the property we knew it’s where we wanted to get married. They were very professional and always easy to get a hold of. The venue was the perfect backdrop for our special day and we couldn’t have loved it more.

    Enchanting venue with great proprietors

    We immediately felt at ease and connected to the Smith family when we first met with Mr. Smith and son Ashton. We visited the venue for the first time in the winter and fell in love with it; it only got more beautiful in the spring and summer with flowers and foliage in full bloom. The landscape was the perfect backdrop to the creative décor, which allowed for spectacular and enchanting photo ops. We loved the outdoor shed bar and took advantage of booking the 7 suites in the main house for our bridal party, which was very convenient. The suites are adorable, and all of the 6 full baths were stocked with amenities. The coffee and continental breakfast were appreciated the next morning.

    Throughout the planning process, which I did in just a 6-month engagement period, Ashton was extremely quick to respond to all of my requests and questions, often responding back to me even outside of normal business hours, which I appreciated as that was when I was able to do most of my planning.

    I truly appreciated that as part of the venue package the Smiths include a lot of the décor items (tables, chairs, etc.) at no additional cost, which really helps with the expenses. While I did rent farmhouse style tables for the reception, the venue's white padded chairs looked great with them, and the Smiths had the chairs and all other venue items set up just as I had laid out in my design plan! My Day of Coordinator said it was a breeze working with them too, though I wouldn’t have known it because they respectfully stay hidden during your whole event.

    We truly loved our venue and got so many compliments on it; one friend who had been to 7 weddings already this year said it was her favorite venue she’d been to. The only thing that could have been better was payment options. The only online payment had a very high transaction fee associated so opted for the cheaper route of sending checks by mail. They gladly accept this method, which saved me a lot of money, but I wish it was more convenient as my other vendors all had other electronic forms of payment that did not charge the transaction fee. I will say that they are constantly improving and creating at their property so they could have an upgrade to this by the time you are interested in booking. On my first walkthrough of the property, they had just finished beautiful, paved pathways connecting all of the main event spaces near the large marquee tent and two new handicap accessible bathrooms were under construction and completed when I next returned to take more pictures and videos since I forgot to do so my first time there. In summary, the proprietors were fantastic, professional, helpful, kind, and responsive, the venue is breathtaking, and the manor house is quaint and kitschy in the best way. Look no further, this is your place!

    Nothing short of perfect!

    Our experience with the Historic Jasmine was nothing short of a dream. From day one the owners made us feel 100% welcome and the flexibility and freedom to plan our day how we wanted was amazing. They’ve really thought of every detail and there’s not a single spot on the property that isn’t picture worthy. Grounds were spotless and staff were out of sight but available on demand! Truly couldn’t have imagined our day any more perfect and would host our wedding here a million times over!

    Best Wedding Venue

    Historic Jasmine was fabulous. The Smith family were the best. They were attentive and ready to help from the minute you start to look all the way till the following day after the wedding! They provided lots of recommendations for everything that we needed for our wedding. The venue was gorgeous, all the fairy lights gave everything such a romantic feel, and the Chapel in the Woods gave us the rustic feel we wanted, and the wooden cross was beautiful! This venue offers everything you would need for formal weddings to casual. Our ceremony was Celtic and the reception a full out country party. Also, Historic Jasmine offers the 7 rooms in the Manor House for rental. Each room has it's own bathroom, there is plenty of space for the wedding party to dress, and we were able to accommodate all of our out-of-town guests. Historic Jasmine is perfect for all weddings!

    Magical venue

    When we first visited Historic Jasmine a year before planning, I knew we had found the place! The Smith family is so welcoming, and everything about the venue is unique and beautiful! There are different ceremony locations and so many hidden gems on the property. The manor house is full of antique treasures and everything is so elegant. Communication from the start was great, they made sure to reach out and make sure of every detail. We had originally planned for out ceremony site to be at "the chapel in the woods" but when it came to the day, it was raining pretty significantly. The back up plan they had arranged on the terrace was still wonderful and the day was amazing! The family all stayed in the manor house that night, and the next morning we enjoyed breakfast. My five year old daughter said " I wish we could stay here and have the wedding over and over" and I agreed I wished we could! Absolutely the best.

    Historic Jasmine

    The Smith family was the absolute sweetest through the whole process! They have thought of everything necessary for a successful wedding. Don and Ashton were always readily available for any questions/concerns we had. A storm hit the area the night before and we decided to have our ceremony at the Magnolia Terrace (rain plan) and it was gorgeous! We could not have had such a great wedding without the Smith family!

    When I found this place I knew it was the one. They worked with us and went through the ropes to make sure everything went smoothly. They simply were amazing and I could not have gotten anywhere without their kind help.

    Breathtaking and personal

    I can’t say enough about this venue. It’s truly a beautiful area that is small enough to be personal yet Can accommodate a large number of people. Our wedding had over 100 guests and there were multiple places on site for photo opportunities as well as space not to feel crowded. Ashton and Dawn both are very receptive and willing to help with all of my questions and concerns.

    Everything you could need for your wedding day

    I found the Jasmine on Facebook and I knew the moment I saw pictures that I wanted my wedding there. It is everything and more, they are responsive, friendly, affordable for all that is included and the grounds are absolutely beautiful. Not to mention the wonderful list of vendors / caterers that they give you. I chose almost all of my vendors from their list and I couldn’t be happier with how amazing the whole experience was. If you consider the Jasmine for your wedding I guarantee you would not be disappointed.

    My daughters wedding

    The Historic Jasmine is a beautiful venue for a wedding! I love the history of the house that is beautifully furnished. The grounds are well kept and the staff is very helpful and quick to answer questions. We had a great experience and felt welcomed and taken care of. Thank you to the Smiths for their great job in making our event so perfect!

    The Best at Hosting a Wedding!

    It was such a pleasure working with the Historic Jasmine from start to finish. My fiancé and I had toured several venues before visiting the Jasmine but very soon after we arrived we knew it was our aesthetic and Don was so relaxed and kind but very knowledgeable as he showed us around. It put us at ease and really characterized the atmosphere of the whole beautiful property, inside and out, and the culture of the staff.

    There is so much I can say. I believe this venue has really struck a wonderful and rare balance between being customizable with outside venders and the services they provide in house. Amazing value for the price point from the research and tours we did (we probably researched at least 15 venues in the Richmond area). For example. the Jasmine provided ALL the tables and chairs we needed including set up and clean up. We found this to be an incredible service for a venue to provide. It was also very convenient and reasonable to go ahead an rent linens from the Jasmine as well. Then, they do not require the use of certain alcohol so we could bring in our own which was really not as difficult as I thought and it is a great way to potentially save hundreds of dollars. We loved having access to the whole property while we were there and having the option to rent bedrooms overnight. We decided to rent just one room for ourselves on the wedding night so we were able to privately enjoy the property in its morning glory the next day and reflect on the event together. Just perfect. The self serve breakfast that is provided was a treat.

    The set up and getting-ready part of the day was seamless with two very comfortable upstairs spaces set apart for the bride and groom, and again, the whole home being open to us allowed us to comfortably bring in lunch for everyone helping with set-up to enjoy in the AC. During the event, our guests (about 125) could spread out in the reception and cocktail hour areas and enjoyed access to the whole lower level of the house to cool off as well.

    Overall, we just felt the Jasmine really knows how to host a wedding well. We felt needs were anticipated and it was such a pleasure communicating with Don and Ashton leading up to the event. They were by far the most responsive vender we employed. I just can't say enough good things about our experience.

    Thank you so much!

    A Perfect All Encompassing Venue!!!

    My daughter was married last weekend at the Historic Jasmine and they could not have chosen a more perfect place for their special day!! From the very beginning, the Smith family was amazing. They were there to help every step of the way. The venue was all encompassing. From the cocktail hour outside by the treehouse bar to the big event tent and of course the beautiful Chapel In The Woods. The photos do not do it justice, you definitely need to see it in person. On Friday, we had our rehearsal Dinner and a Night Before Party and stayed the night in the Manor House which made the experience even more special. I highly recommend staying at the house for the full historic experience. Thank you Don and Ashton for making our daughter and now son-in-law's wedding a day they will cherish forever!!!

    AMAZING and underrated wedding venue and team

    The historic jasmine wedding venue is not only BEAUTIFUL and well-priced, but it was able to hold 250 very energetic guests for our Spring 2022 wedding. More than that, the jasmine team really makes you feel like family when you are working with them. They made sure that all our vendors were well organized and taken care of. They also made sure that everything I wanted (which was ALOT) was met and exceeded. I cannot recommend this venue and team enough. Thank you for making our wedding all it could be. Lots of love, Sami and Paul.

    Perfect Location for Daughters Wedding!

    This place is amazing! We recently celebrated our daughter’s wedding here and it was such a wonderful experience! Not only is this place absolutely beautiful, but it offers so many different landscape options that allow you to capture many different and unique pictures. The owners were also amazing! They were always there to quickly answer all of our questions and attended to all of our needs. We highly recommend this place! Don’t miss out, go see and experience it in person so that you too can see how beautiful it is.

    A Magical Venue

    Working with the Historic Jasmine Plantation was an amazing experience from start to finish! Don and the team went above and beyond in every way imaginable to ensure that we were taken care of and answered all of our questions in a prompt, thoughtful way. On the wedding day, they were doing everything they could to make sure the event went smoothly!

    The site itself is one of the most beautiful places in Virginia! Every time we visited there seemed to be more beautiful areas and structures that were available for us to use. If we could do our event over again, we would choose the Historic Jasmine Plantation every time! This location and team take a great deal of pride in what they do and will make sure that their guests are cared for.

    We highly recommend this amazing, magical venue for any wedding!

    You won't regret it!

    If you're having any hesitation about booking Jasmine, DON'T! My husband and I would give them a higher rating if possible. From the very first time we met Don and Ashton, to the day of the wedding, we received nothing but phenomenal support, communication, and help. The landscape and layout is perfect if you're looking for a one-stop-shop. The house and grounds will have your guests loving the spot just as much as you do. You can't beat the price either considering EVERYTHING that's included in the wedding packages. I wish we were planning another wedding just to have an excuse to go back and celebrate. You won't regret it. We loved every aspect of it.

    Choose Jasmine! Just do it!

    If I could give Historic Jasmine Plantation an extra ten stars, I would!! From our first visit to our wedding weekend, Don and his family were so helpful, communicative, kind, patient, and enthusiastic. We chose every single one of our vendors following Don's advice and they were all phenomenal. Don also made every effort to keep the venue affordable, even when we were renting it for the entire weekend, and went out of his way to accommodate us, down to finding Keto breakfast bars for my crazy diet :) Not to mention, Jasmine is GORGEOUS. Despite rain (which Don was able to easily adapt to), guests are still telling me how much they loved Jasmine and how beautiful the ceremony was (and it was the rain plan!). I would recommend Jasmine without any hesitation.
