Celebrations at the Reservoir is a waterfront wedding venue located in Moseley, Virginia. The venue, spanning 125 acres, features eight wedding spaces with distinct views of Swift Creek Reservoir. At only a 30-minute drive from downtown Richmond, this wedding destination is both an idyllic retreat and close to city amenities.
Facilities and Capacity
Each of Celebrations at the Reservoir’s five ceremony spaces boasts romantic elements sure to make guests swoon. Couples who wed at Heron’s View will exchange vows in a gazebo perched on the reservoir while guests look on from the shore. Similarly, The Landing is a pier which stretches over the water’s edge that, along with the attached wharf, can seat all guests. Many couples here choose to leave by boat for an exciting exit before arriving at the reception venue. Eagle’s Perch offers panoramic views over the lake from its raised position, providing a calming scene for a ceremony. Small gatherings can be held in the Gazebo at Sunset Watch. For a truly unique wedding, couples may choose the Shimizu Tea House, a traditional Japanese pavilion designed by Osamu Shimizu. Each ceremony venue is paired with an enchanting reception site. Nuptials at Heron’s View are followed by an elegant waterside reception in The Gardens, which can accommodate 300 guests. Eagle’s Perch is paired with The Manor House, a stately mansion built in the Federal and Greek Revival styles. This space’s veranda overlooks the reservoir and is ideal for up to 300 guests. The Pool Pavilion can host receptions for weddings held in The Landing, Sunset Watch, and Shimizu Tea House. The pavilion opens onto a large outdoor deck complete with pool and fountain, fit for up to 200 guests.

We have been looking for a venue for over a year, we even considered destination and when we saw Celebrations it was like being away from Richmond... it didn’t feel like we were in VA. The scenery is absolutely breath taking and there are so many different aspect to the property that choosing the right venue out of the three is hard.. they are all unique in their own way. Overall compared to other venues the price is within any couples budget.

The must have venue
Booking with this venue is really saved my wedding day. Not only is the staff so incredibly kind and helpful, they make sure the day is everything you want. Once booking with the venue we were paired up with the venue's wedding planner and day of coordinators. The value alone in that is beyond what we imagined. A few weeks before my wedding the pandemic happened. If it weren't for the venue staff I would've lost my mind, they were amazing at making sure everything that needed to be changed happened. Also, when we were finally able to have our wedding day my husband and I felt like their goal was to make it everything we had dreamt of despite the world falling apart. I was the most stress free because I knew the staff cared for my event. I had several guests come and tell us they wish they had gotten married there.
It may seem a little bit pricey compared to some other venues, but you get SO MUCH more then just a place to get married.

Beyond amazing!!
Our experience with Celebrations was beyond amazing! The team is wonderful to work with, made everything so very easy. The vendors we chose were from an open house Celebrations invited us too and that was perfect. The vendors know Celebrations and have lots of experience there which again made things flow easily. It was the most beautiful, intimate, and the most fun I have ever had at a wedding reception! Thank you so very much!!
Celebrations is a fantastic venue from a photography perspective. The grounds are breathtaking and the staff is great to work with. Brides can't go wrong with any of three three locations on the grounds for a wedding celebration.
Celebrations at the Reservoir has been on of Lou Stevens Glam Squad's favorite venues for years! Their wonderful team out there is so great with all the details of your event that you can rest assured all will go according to plan! We love Laura, Christina, and all the ladies at Celebrations and are confident you will too!!!
