About

On WeddingWire since 2019

Nestled in Fredericksburg, Virginia, Belle’s Pleasure is a wedding venue with a country and vintage feel. The property is dotted with historic buildings from multiple centuries as well as forests and meadows. An enchanting ambiance treads throughout the farm, which is located near both the District of Columbia and Richmond. Family-owned, it offers an idyllic backdrop for whimsical weddings.

Facilities and Capacity

The venue features a luxurious dressing room for you and your wedding party to get ready in. Originally the carriage house, it boasts two floors and numerous amenities to make preparing for your wedding day both comfortable and convenient. Dark wood flooring and white walls with ornate furnishings offer an additional touch of sophistication to the space. For your ceremony, you can move out to the lawn framed by trees. After, while your guests enjoy cocktail hour, take your wedding photos by the water or row a canoe out on the pond for magical photographs. Come time for the reception, dine and dance in the classic barn. The tall ceilings bring a sense of wonder and the natural grain of the wood in this building makes the space inviting.

Services Offered

Infuse the wedding decor with antique charm. The owner of Belle’s Pleasure has a passion for historical objects, from plates and glassware to furniture and decorative items. You may request to use any of these items for your wedding. For example, chalkboard signs can greet your guests as they enter the venue while flowers elegantly drape rustic whiskey barrels. Set the space with the help of their staff and use the location's tables and chairs as well as lighting and sound equipment to get the venue wedding-ready.

History

Belle’s Pleasure has a long and rich history with stories echoing throughout the property. The farmhouse that stands proudly on the 15-acre plot was originally constructed in 1769. As for the barn, it was built in the 1920s. For over two centuries families have lived, worked, and loved here, imbuing the venue with a sense of romance.

Amazing Venue and Experience

From the moment we began contact with Emily and the team at Belle’s Pleasure in the spring of 2021, we were completely blown away. When we went for our tour, we met with Emily, she showed us the property and was happy to answer any of our questions! Touring the farm with Emily we fell in love with the property and knew it was exactly what we wanted. Belle’s Pleasure was available for June 18, 2022, we wanted so we went ahead and secured our date for our big day.
After booking and securing our date, Emily answered all of the questions I had. Fast forward to 2022, and it was time to start working with Christina our wedding coordinator at Belle’s Pleasure to plan our big day. Christina knows her stuff, both Belle’s Pleasure AND all wedding things. Months leading up to our big day Christina made all the planning aspects so easy for us. At our walkthrough, Christina was very organized and explained everything to us to make sure we knew everything going into the big day!! Now onto the actual wedding day, this property was absolutely magical. From the moment we arrived, both Christina and Nina were there for us every step of the way! Anything we needed, they delivered. Christina and Nina made our day stress free and amazing. They were there to handful everything from set up, to coordinating and communicating with our vendors, and to clean up. I could not have done my big day without these two AMAZING ladies! Every single guest had nothing but amazing things to say about the property and venue. There is no detail untouched at Belle’s Pleasure. The complementary decor is PHENOMENAL. The customer service/experience is truly unmatched. I wrote this whole thing just to say- if you're considering Belle’s Pleasure don't have a second thought about it. Book this venue for your big day and I promise you won't regret it. The most beautiful property, and even more beautiful people who run it. Endless thank yous to Emily, Christina, Nina, and every employee at Belle’s Pleasure that makes this place so magical!

Amazing to work with Beautiful Venue

Emily was phenomenal, we had to move our date from October to March because of covid, and she was SO supportive and flexible. I can’t say enough good things about this venue. So grateful we found Belles Pleasure, it’s a beautiful magical place, that will hold a special place in our hearts forever.
