10 stars for a dream wedding!

I WISH I COULD GIVE 10 STARS!!! My daughter's wedding at Highholdborne was spectacular in every way! June and Alexandra knocked themselves out to accomodate us in every way. They are lovely, kind ladies who attended to every detail of the wedding with great care and love. You can tell they love producing beautiful weddings. All the guests were amazed at the beauty of the home and its decor, not to mention the beautiful outdoor ceremoney with the vista of Loudon County. Both the interior and exterior are a photographer's dream with the house's high ceilings, great lighting and gold-accented decor. The opportunities outdoor shots is incredible with the house sitting at the top of a hill.It is the perfect venue for a classy, elegant yet intimate wedding. June of Highholdborne Estate did all the florals and they were exquisite. We were all raving over their beauty and uniqueness. June has impeccable taste and we were happy to give her free rein. Thank you, June and Alexandra for going above and beyond and giving my daughter a wedding beyond her dreams!!!

Picturesque Venue with Amazing Staff

Rosewood Floral Designs recently had the privilege of providing florals for a wedding held at Highholdborne Mansion in Bluemont, VA. The Venue Owner and her Team of professionals were so kind and helpful. They take great pride in the manor and property and it truly shows during the ceremony and reception. The property sparkles and there is no better view in the Bluemont area. As both a vendor and attending guest, we would highly recommend this venue.

Highholdborne is a dream

We are beyond pleased with our Highholdborne experience. The venue is high up in the hills and has a stunning view of Virginia Wine Country. Every moment starting with the bridal suite and ending with the sparkler exit was so beautiful and picturesque.

June (the venue owner) was responsive and helpful the entire year of planning. She answered every question and relieved any concern, making planning so easy and low stress, which is more than any bride-to-be could ask for. Alex, the venue's day-of-coordinator, had every moment choreographed perfectly. Her response to any day-of hiccups (e.g. late vendor arrivals) was professional and flawless. As we had several boxes of decorations and other wedding amenities, I had planned on helping with the setup. I learned the day of that the onsite team would handle this, giving me the relief of feeling like a guest at my wedding.

The team was so flexible the day of the wedding. We asked for a fall wedding, and unexpectedly received fall-like temperatures after a week of 80+ degree days. As chilly evening temperatures were forecast days before the wedding, June was able to secure a much needed and appreciated heater for the tent. She also let our guests inside the manor for the cocktail hour, which was originally planned to be outdoors. These two things made such an impact to the day, and we are so grateful for their hospitality.

I highly recommend Highholdborne for anyone searching for a romantic, elegant space for their wedding.
