The Berry Hill Resort is a gorgeous historic gem seated in the foothills of South Boston, Virginia. Having grown up half an hour from South Boston, I had always heard about Berry Hill, but never visited. While hunting for wedding venues, my now husband and I visited several sites. Berry Hill was our last visit because it was abundantly clear it was the perfect backdrop for the start of our marriage.

Aside from the absolutely stunning grounds, architecture, and timeless classic aesthetic of the period in which it was first built, the staff at Berry Hill are phenomenal. They truly care about making your experience everything you’ve hoped for, plus some! Everyone we came in contact with at Berry Hill was so friendly and attentive, and made sure no stone went unturned. Speaking personally, I was the most relaxed bride this world has probably ever seen, because I was confident that the staff of Berry Hill were going to execute everything perfectly. The entire day went off without a hitch, and it genuinely was that best day of our lives.

Berry Hill is the perfect all-inclusive venue. The planning stage was seamless, with the help of an on-site wedding coordinator. We came in for a dinner tasting in advance - the salmon is to die for! We had a rehearsal dinner at Berry Hill the night before, which was also very good, and all of our wedding party spent the night at the resort the night before as well. The attached hotel makes for the utmost convenience for guests, and made us feel relieved knowing they could dance and drink all night and get to their beds safely. Most of our guests stayed the night after the wedding.

The morning of the wedding, breakfast was delivered to my bridesmaids and I in one of the suites where we were getting ready. We had an assortment of fruits and breakfast pastries, coffee, champagne, and orange juice! The groomsmen got ready together in a mansionette separate from the main mansion building so my husband and I wouldn’t risk seeing each other!

Our small and intimate ceremony was in the Orangerie, and was short and sweet. We then had a cocktail hour in the mansion library while we and the wedding party went outside on the grounds for photos! The reception was in the grand ballroom, and we had a blast with the live band! Having Darby’s Tavern located right across a green area from the ballroom was also perfect, as some of our guests went over there to keep the party going after the reception winded down. The next morning, my husband and I enjoyed an amazing brunch at the Mansion Restaurant before leaving.

When we look back on our wedding day, there is no doubt that we chose the perfect venue for us. I highly recommend Berry Hill Resort!!!

Already being familiar with Berry Hill and the surrounding area, my husband and I decided to book our April 2024 wedding at Berry Hill. From the first inquiry, Phillip Gardner was extremely knowledgeable and responsive - we immediately knew we could trust Phillip and Berry Hill for our special day. Berry Hill is unique because everything is in one place - for the guests staying in the Hotel, they were able to park their cars and not have to worry about driving anywhere until after our "farewell brunch" on Sunday morning. The location is great for vendors, too, because you have the option to explore VA and NC based vendors. Berry Hill is an incredible wedding venue!

A beautiful venue that holds years of memories. It was able to accommodate all of our out of town guests for the entire weekend.
