About this venue

Historic Eyreville is a picturesque waterfront estate, perfect for weddings and other special events, just a few miles north of Cape Charles, on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. With 30 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, on Cherrystone Creek, the property has plenty of expansive open spaces, mature trees, and unparralled waterfront views to provide the perfect backdrop for all sorts of celebrations. After many years of offering their homeplace to friends for their own special occasions, this family-owned and operated company is excited to welcome couples to enjoy their beloved grounds.

The centerpiece of the venue, and the most unique aspect of the property, is the Oyster House; built in1940, specifically for roasting oysters. The octagonal brick building boasts a remarkable heart pine tall-table that stretches nearly the length of the room, a large fireplace, and small kitchen. Four tables with bench and chair seating, and room for 16 at the tall-table, allows for 40 seated guests. It's perfect for any small gathering, especially couples looking for a venue for their pre-wedding events, such as the rehearsal dinner or welcome party, or even a Sunday Brunch.

The Oyster House and surrounding waterfront area is perfect for entertaining. Extra tables and chairs, yard games, and relaxed seating outdoors await your guests. There is plenty of space for a large tent, complete with dance floor, along the water. The expansive yard offers options for ceremonial areas away from the reception area as well.

There is plenty of space for up to 300 guests, inlcuding ample parking.

Couples will get to enjoy a vibrant wedding day that feels fresh, memorable, and distinctly their own, on an historic property that's hosted 100's of gatherings over its 400-year recorded existance. You'll enjoy a beautiful sunset over the water, dine and dance the night away in an elegant tent under the shining stars.

Great Venue When You Want More Than Just a Place for a Large Gathering

Fabulous venue! The Buyrns are very accommodating and the sunset view over the water was gorgeous. Plenty of parking. Signs for directions on where to go and where to park were very well placed. The historical house and buildings are a great backdrop for photos, as well as the waterfront.

The Oyster House was the biggest "WOW" for me. It was set up beautifully for our buffet style dinner. It's a neat old building, rich with character, and architecturally quite interesting; a step back in time.

I definitely recommend Eyreville as a venue if you are looking for people that will help decrease the stress of putting together a gathering and go above board to see that your time there is exceptional. They go that extra mile with grace and pleasure.

As a side note, the caterers really liked working at Eyreville. Running water in a big sink, a refrigerator onsite, easy access to electrical outlets and a lovely view, made them quite happy with the venue.

I lost track of how many times guests commented on the beauty that makes Eyreville stand out as a venue.

We could not have asked for gotten a more perfect place for the reception.

Many thanks to the Buyrns for helping us make a special day even more special.
