About

On WeddingWire since 2016

Looking for a venue that allows private, full weekend use and lodging, with indoor/outdoor ceremony options...has the perfect mix of rustic and new...and is conveniently located but spacious? You may not need to look any further.

To celebrate the holiday season, we're offering an exciting NEW YEARS DISCOUNT to couples who find us on The Knot! From 12/1/24 - 2/1/25 all new bookings for 2025 weddings are $1,500 off!!

Guildford Farm offers a truly unique experience with a historic 8,000 square ft home, 4,000 sq ft reception center, 150 acres of private property (with miles of walking trails), beautiful views (mountain and water), privacy, flexibility, indoor/outdoor options, and overnight accommodations. Less than 30 minutes from downtown Charlottesville and only 10 miles from the airport, tucked away in the heart of Virginia’s wine country sits Guildford Farm, one of Central Virginia’s most relaxed and comfortable farm wedding venues. Built in the 1790’s, Guildford Farm was the original home of the Early family, the namesake of Earlysville, VA. The property served as a cattle farm for decades. In 2003, the 8,000 square foot home was completely restored. From the tranquility of the gently rolling hay-fields and shaded lakeside banks to the stateliness of the historic farmhouse and rustic barn, the property is as unique as it is expansive. We offer significantly more than just your typical "farm or barn wedding"! Given the property’s size, we encourage you to explore and imagine the possibilities. If you want your guests to have an unforgettable experience - encourage them to explore the newly maintained "Lover's Loop" walking trail immediately accessible next to the reception center. The 150 acres of private property provides for a very intimate setting for your special occasion.

Our custom designed event facility offers 4,000 square ft of temperature controlled indoor space including all of the amenities needed to provide an extra level of comfort for your guests (recommendation of 50-200 guests) and vendors. This is not your typical farm and barn venue: our modern reception center was designed for weddings/events...but also matches the timeless beauty and classiness of the entire Guildford Farm property. Between the Home and the Event Center Loft (which includes a flat screen tv, private bathroom, and walk out deck with incredible views), there are many options for both sides of the wedding party to get ready! Our restrooms in the Event Center have THREE toilets each...so no need to worry about your guests having long waits for a bathroom break. Each also has an ADA accessible stall.

New pricing options are now available for single-day-events in addition to our legacy, sought after, and highly recommended full-weekend lodging package.

Like a destination wedding!

We had the most special wedding at Guildford Farms. We were sold as soon as we saw the beautiful house and loved being able to offer accomodations to our bridal party for the whole weekend. Jonny, Katie, and Rodney welcomed us and answered all of our questions. They even worked with us when we had an unforeseen visa issue arise and had to re-plan our whole wedding. They were very clear about their services and expectations and were so generous with all of their space, tables, chairs, yard games, and their time. It never felt like we were being squeezed for cash each time a need arose as we had felt when touring other venues. Thank you all!

Amazing and Beautiful Venue!!

Guildford Farm was the best wedding venue ever! The venue was absolutely beautiful in every way. From the historic manor home to the brand new wedding reception facility, Guildford Farm was absolutely perfect. Jonny and Katie (owners and operators) were extremely helpful for more than a year leading up to the wedding. Always answering any questions we had and making their venue accommodating for any special requests we had. Our guests kept on commenting on how beautiful every part of the venue was. A++!!

The owners are incredibly helpful and kind and the space is beautiful. It's a much better value than others we looked at in the area in that it cares more for the bride and groom and only books one wedding per weekend, so that you don't feel like you're rushed in and out. We have the opportunity to use it the entire weekend so it is a lot more flexible and intimate than other venues, and a great price! Definitely recommend.
