About

On WeddingWire since 2021

J.Q Dickinson Salt-Works is a farmland wedding venue situated just 10 minutes from Charleston, West Virginia. This rustic and rural destination has all the charm and tranquility of a countryside ranch while being conveniently located close to an urban center. Here, you can curate your dream day at your choice of indoor and outdoor event spaces. Fairy tale rose gardens, manicured grounds, and a picturesque setting surround the historic barn buildings that are home to a seventh-generation salt-making farm.

Facilities and Capacity

Nestled below the Appalachian Mountains in the Kanawha Valley, J.Q Dickinson Salt-Works is an idyllic place for memorable gatherings with those you love. You can spend the morning pampering and preparing in the private get-ready suites alongside your wedding party. Ceremonies are held on the grounds, under a romantic arch, or overlooking the pretty gardens. From laid-back barbecues to formal seated meals for 200, you can host any style of reception here. When the weather permits, rustic outdoor feasts are held by the vintage salt barn, with long banquet tables laid out according to your wishes. Elegantly appointed marquees and tents are provided for couples seeking a semi-indoor experience.

Services Offered

From your pre-wedding parties such as engagements and rehearsal dinners to the big day itself, the dedicated team does it all. Intimate micro weddings and large-scale soirées are all possible here, with the help of in-house planners who will aim to make your day unforgettable. The owners are passionate about sustainable, eco-friendly living and arrange catering that is sourced from local and seasonal produce. When it comes to bar service, the bartenders will create a drinks menu with everything from signature cocktails to premium wine and liquors available for your selection. Set up and clean up are overseen by servers and staff. They also supply and coordinate dance floors for entertainment and parking for your guests.

Ali and Mandy were great!

Both Ali and Mandy were great to work with and answered all my questions perfectly. We were able to decorate the day before the wedding and that helped tremendously. Our bartender and extra set of hands the day of (whose name is escaping me but was the face we honestly saw the most of!) was hilarious and great, and from what I hear was firm enough when a couple of the guests needed to done drinking for the night (fine by us, I'm glad rowdy family members weren't able to walk over him!)
