Our CrossKeys wedding was perfection!
CrossKeys Vineyards was the absolute dream wedding venue. The views of the mountains and vineyards are simply breathtaking and created the most magical backdrop for our day. On top of that, working with Ranae Nyce, the event manager and day-of coordinator, was a true gift. She was like a fairy godmother who made everything run flawlessly from start to finish. Ranae was responsive and organized during the planning process, helped set everything up beautifully at the venue, and kept the entire day running smoothly and on time. You can tell she’s been with CrossKeys for years. She and the entire team are experts at what they do. They handled every detail with calm confidence and made sure we and our guests had an amazing experience. On top of that, the food was delicious and beautifully presented, and our guests kept complimenting it. The bartender was also friendly, efficient, and kept the drinks flowing all night. My husband and I felt completely supported, stress-free, and able to fully enjoy our wedding. We are so grateful and will always remember how loved and cared for we felt at CrossKeys. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better place or team to bring our wedding to life.

The Best Day of our Lives!
I LOVE CrossKeys Vineyards!! Not only is it BEAUTIFUL, but their coordinator, Ranae, and her staff, made us feel so welcomed! They were organized but also flexible, and so kind! My husband and I both went to James Madison University, which is nearby CrossKeys. However, we live in Austin, TX now, and expected that planning a wedding far away would be difficult. However, Ranae and CrossKeys made this task so easy!! They were always available for a phone call, responded to emails quickly, and never made me feel like I was asking too many questions. On the day of, Ranae kept everything going smoothly, and her staff and bartenders took the most amazing care of our guests.
We really loved how inclusive our wedding package was as well. They took care of all our catering and provided delicious drinks and breakfast to my bridesmaids and me. The bridal suite we got ready in was also gorgeous and spacious and felt so private. They have a fabulous groomsmen suite as well and a beautiful barrel room that is perfect for rehearsal dinners. There are amazing vendors in the area that they work seamlessly with. I highly recommend anyone needing a fun and gorgeous venue for any event to reach out to CrossKeys and Ranae!

Best decision ever!
From the breathtaking venue of vines and rolling mountains, to the delicious food, to the exceptional staff- CrossKeys was the absolute perfect choice for our wedding day! Shelby, the events coordinator, made sure every detail was handled from beginning to end and truly exceeded any expectations I had. She easily went above and beyond her "day-of" coordination services and made the wedding planning process much easier. Her team was incredible and I was very relaxed the morning of the wedding, knowing she and her team would handle everything. I truly can't explain how lucky I am to have found this hidden gem of a wedding venue, with outstanding staff to match! I'd recommend CrossKeys Vineyard time and time again and will definitely be back to enjoy wine on their patio!

The perfect wedding venue!
Choosing CrossKeys was the single best decision we made during our entire wedding planning process (besides saying yes to an engagement :D). Everything was absolutely perfect. The views are stunning and the facilities are GORGEOUS at every turn, even down to the beautiful bride and grooms suites (that we could actually use on the morning start of hair and makeup - not something everywhere offers!). Working with Shelby was the best experience we could have hoped for. She went above and beyond making sure the day went smoothly and was able to make all of our unique asks happen, like a specialty cocktail wall and tweaking the menu to include chimichurri steak. So many guests came up to me during the night and even weeks later saying it was the best wedding food they'd ever had, and marveling that there was never a long line at the bar - even at the very start of cocktail hour. During wedding planning everyone told me something would go wrong on my wedding day and I'd have to roll with it, and I'm not exaggerating when I say not one thing went wrong and it was in large part due to the incredible preparedness and service at CrossKeys. Absolutely wonderful!! (Photos included in review by Tall + Small Photography)

Magical Fairytale Wedding Venue
As soon as I saw CrossKeys I knew I had to have my wedding ceremony and reception there. The sprawling mountains, vineyards, and manicured hills were the perfect spot for my vision of my fairytale wedding. Shelby was a pleasure to work with and will seriously ensure EVERYTHING goes as planned. She really gave me peace of mind during the planning process and day of the wedding. The food at our wedding was KILLER, the steak was flavorful and tender and everyone raved about the salmon. The passed appetizers were also absolutely delicious. The wine served at the wedding was also fantastic. I could not be more thankful for CrossKeys and Shelby and her team for making my dream wedding a reality!

Outstanding in every way!
CrossKeys Vineyards is an outstanding venue! The setting is spectacular surrounded by mountain and vineyard views. The venue is gorgeous, elegant and updated. The bride and groom suites are beautiful, large and fun! Shelby is the most professional coordinator/director. She knows every aspect of the venue and takes care of every detail. She always reassured us that it would all be great…. It was! She and the staff delivered! The menu selections/options are delicious and presented beautifully! We are so pleased to have chosen a venue that provides everything. We could not be more pleased! The entire day was filled with wonder❤️‼️
