About

On WeddingWire since 2019

Common House is a sought-after wedding destination in Richmond, Virginia. Timeless yet modern, our premiere venue, Union Hall, accommodates parties from 20 to 150 and boasts high ceilings, an open layout, and in-house furnishings that are perfect for full wedding receptions, rehearsal dinners of all sizes, bridal showers, welcome parties, post-reception brunches and so much more! On-site ceremonies of up to 140 can also be held in the outdoor Courtyard or second-floor Madison Wing.

Historic design elements are blended with uniquely Richmond touches to make each wedding a one-of-a-kind celebration. With both indoor and outdoor settings, guests can move from one area to the next and enjoy a different atmosphere: a dance party outside, a cocktail within. Special add-ons include a private bridal dressing room off-street parking solutions in downtown RVA, and a kid-friendly film for younger attendees in our screening room.

We provide in-house specialty furniture, audio/visual equipment, customizable menus, Sommelier curated wines, full bar services, and a professional waitstaff. Grounded in quality and service, the essence of Common House is brought to every event, tailored to meet individual needs and visions.

Love working with Shelby

Through the construction and pandemic, Shelby has been so great to work with. She helped us during our walk through of the building (still under construction) to imagine everything, telling us ideas of where things go, what she thought and providing our floor plan already - SO EXCITED to continue to work with the Common House-Richmond and Shelby!

The best night of our lives

Alize and the team at Common House Richmond made sure that our wedding was the most incredible night of our lives. Alize made the planning process so much fun and she worked her magic to make sure wedding day was flawless. Her team was so kind and made sure my husband and I were always having the best time, the food was absolutely out of this world, and the venue itself is just stunning. I could not recommend this place enough. I wish we could do it a million times over!!!

Amazing Wedding Venue!

We had our wedding at Common House a few weeks back in November and it was perfect! The Common House staff are incredible. Liz and Alize were so helpful throughout our wedding planning process; they answered emails promptly, were flexible when we made changes to timelines, had strong attention to detail, and were overall a joy to work with. The staff on the day of our wedding were all so kind and attentive as well! Our guests kept remarking on how nice everyone was towards them. Our food was amazing - it all tasted fresh, warm, and exactly how it was at our tasting - as were our signature cocktails and other drink selections. Common House was also attentive to our guests who had food allergies/dietary restrictions and made sure they were accommodated too - a few of them thanked us specifically for having those options available. The venue itself was perfect for what we wanted on our wedding day! Common House’s location can’t be beat and it is a great value for what is included in the rental. We were able to achieve the autumnal dinner party wedding of our dreams and can’t thank the Common House team enough!
