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.

Amazing Venue!

From our first visit to Big Spring with Buddy we knew this was the perfect place for our wedding! Emma has excellent communication throughout our planning process and helped our coordinators plan our day beautifully. We had our ceremony on the hilltop, reception on the veranda and in the barn, and added the ATV and mountaintop experience to our package and I would not have changed a thing! The team was very thorough in our final walk through to make sure we had a detailed rain plan, ensured we had all inventory items needed, and created a layout to get the best use of this beautiful space. The mountain top experience is a must for portraits and was a great place to have some time together before joining our guests in the reception. Thank you to BSF!

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.

Highly recommend!

Big Spring Farm was the venue of our dreams! There are so many gorgeous locations here that everywhere you turn feels like the perfect spot. We had toured numerous venues in the area but immediately knew after our tour with BSF that we were going to book it for our wedding. The staff is so incredibly accommodating and friendly and remained that way throughout the entire year and a half long planning process. The owner, Buddy, met personally with us for our tour and our final walkthrough which goes a long way to see how passionate he is about the venue and personally connecting with the clients.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
