Adorable Venue

AMAZING venue. I had my wedding here. The staff was so helpful and kind and did everything they could to make my day perfect. Also, the food here was soooo good!!! I got a ton of compliments about the food and the venue. It's also nice because they have plates, flatware, servers, etc included so you don't have to rent everything or have a ton of different vendors to keep track of. I really can't say enough good things about this venue!!

Most Amazing Venue in Hampton Roads!

Everything about this venue is amazing. Right when we stepped foot inside during our first meeting, we knew it was the one. We mainly communicated with Courtney, and then Catalina, Jessica, and Jamie along the way - and they ALL were very helpful, responsive, and organized. Especially during this COVID wedding season - they all have been a lot of help with our many many questions and inquiries. We actually had to reschedule our wedding from May to July, and it was honestly a breeze to do because of their help. On our wedding day, the venue was absolutely beautiful (it’s already beautiful on its own tbh), cocktail hour at The Shack was awesome (everybody thought it was really cool), our food (buffet) was delicious, the orange crushes (of course) were a hit, etc. etc. etc. We received so many compliments from our guests about the venue and staff. Their customer service was great! Super accommodating. One example: The staff pre-plated our dinner from the buffet before our guests went up, but by the time we would have sat down after taking pictures with each table, our food would have been cold. When we finally sat down, we didn’t even start eating yet, when Jamie came over and re-plated our dinner so that our food would be nice and warm for us, and then took our cold food to be boxed up. It was so great to experience such hospitality. She was also very accommodating with our family setting up a last minute video slideshow. Festival on 8th is the greatest wedding venue, at least in our opinion ;) We even have family members who want to inquire in holding their own events there! :) THANK YOU FOR SUCH AN AMAZING AND UNFORGETTABLE WEDDING JOURNEY
