About

On WeddingWire since 2014

Big Spring Farm is a barn and farm wedding venue located in Lexington, Virginia. Boasting a charmingly restored post and beam barn, acres of grounds, and ample scenic views of a lake and mountains, it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor celebrations.

Facilities and Capacity

For your romantic ceremony, you and your significant other can become official newlyweds outdoors with Big Spring Farm's beautiful surroundings as your backdrop. Under the shade of one of the lakeside trees, you can become officially married with the serene waterfront directly behind you. On the grass, the wedding party can take in the moment, seated on some lovely dark-wood chairs, as tree stumps with flower displays on them add natural color and fragrance.

All around, the site’s grounds provide a great deal of room for you and your guests to amble around and enjoy the scenery. On warm, sunny afternoons, the long grass, tended lawns, and windswept wilderness offers a variety of settings for photo opportunities. Just imagine you and your significant other indulging in some couples portraits with the yellow-green fields and dark-blue 10-acre lake as your backdrop. Wouldn’t that be something special?

With a rustic barn from the 1840s that has been heavily restored, you are provided with an ideal space to host your reception. The space measures some 2,000 square feet and can accommodate 150 seated guests. Here, long banquet-style and round tables can be arranged for everyone to sit at as they enjoy the cuisine of the day. When set with floral centerpieces, elegant plates, cutlery, and personal decor, it can truly become a customized space. The exposed wooden beams, natural light through the windows, and overall rustic ambiance, certainly make it stand out.

The barn can also work as a great place to host your indoor ceremony. Especially on days when the weather is not being cooperative, it provides shelter and makes it easier to transition to the reception space.

Outside the barn, there is a 4,000-square-foot patio with a fire pit, seating, and tiki torches. An ideal place to lounge in the sunshine, it’s easy to imagine yourself taking a moment of quiet contemplation here.

Services Offered

Big Spring Farm's staff are more than delighted for you to invite caterers onsite to prepare and serve your reception meal. In fact, they have a list of trusted caterers whom they can suggest to you. They also have a list of other vendors (florists, photographers, event rentals, calligraphers, and more) whom they can connect you with. Cleanup and setup services are both provided for you, while WiFi is also available to make use of. What’s more, lighting for both inside the barn and outside can be provided. Make sure to check out the Midland House, as well. It's a 1900's farm house, that we completely restored! Sleeping up to 10 guests and just one minute from the Big Spring Barn.

Serene, Beautiful, Timelss

I would absolutely recommend Big Spring Farm for your wedding. It is the most beautiful, serene location, where you can truly absorb all of The Shenandoah. The staff was so responsive and helpful. All the vendors had worked with the location and knew how to navigate it. The wedding was flawless and we have the most beautiful, timeless photos of our day. The ceremony site (peninsula) was gorgeous and so peaceful. It was truly a dream. The barn for the reception was the perfect size and mix of elegance and rustic. We just cannot say enough wonderful things about this venue. It was actually perfect in every way possible.

Absolutely amazing outdoor wedding venue!

My wife and I got married at Big Spring in September and had the most wonderful experience. Buddy, the owner, was incredibly accommodating and extremely communicative, and just so friendly all the time. We first did a virtual tour since we live out of state now, and he brought us all over the property on FaceTime. Then when we came in person, he was just as helpful and answered all of our questions, and made himself available at every turn. Buddy and, for that matter, every single person on the BSF team were absolutely lovely.

We had a small wedding of 24 people including ourselves and we really wanted a beautiful outdoor venue with a great indoor option as our weather backup plan. And the catch was we didn't want our little wedding to look ridiculously small in what's generally used for bigger weddings. You can't beat the Blue Ridge views at BSF and the barn was so charming, really nice inside, and no musty smell that you typically get inside barns. They did an incredible job renovating and up-keeping the barn and the entire grounds. Our guests are STILL raving about how gorgeous the venue and the mountain views were!

My wife and I stayed in Little Silver Cottage the night before and night of the wedding, and man it was worth it. It was such a stunning house with a breathtaking view, everything was comfortable, well-stocked, and clearly thought-out in terms of what anyone might need/want in a rental home. My wife stayed on the top floor and I stayed on the bottom on the morning of the wedding, which made it really easy for our hair/makeup crew to take care of us all while not seeing each other all day. And then we just got rides in our families' cars down to Big Spring, eliminating travel time. It made everything so stress free, and we were really living in luxury in that house! Several of our friends also opted to stay in Midland House up the road and all said it was beautiful, well maintained, and super convenient.

Our vendors all spoke highly of the communication with Buddy and other BSF staff both before and on the day of the wedding. Everything the day of went without a hitch, and they worked with our other vendors to make everything we planned come to life. We could not have been happier with our experience and we're so happy we made our memories at Big Spring. We can't wait to go back one day to relive them :)
