My husband and I got married at the Kellam Estate venue on October 9 and we highly recommend it to future brides and grooms! Working with Alex and Chelsea was wonderful from start to finish, they were quick to respond to emails and were on-site for our rehearsal and day-of to answer any questions or help. The space itself is very versatile and could be set up in many ways, but we used their back pasture for both our outdoor ceremony and tented reception. The stable and barn area were perfect for our cocktail hour. We have had so many positive comments on the venue and our other vendors truly enjoyed working here. Thanks again, Chelsea and Alex!

The Kellams were wonderful to work with, they kept the process extremely stress free and enjoyable! The property was absolutely perfect and everything I wanted for my wedding!

Chelsea and Alex were great hosts. They provide beautiful amenities. Beautiful house and grounds, highly recommend using Kellam Estates as a wedding venue. ❤️

Alex and Chelsea Kellam have made their historic home into the place to have a wedding in southern Virginia Beach. They were so easy to work with and made it happen even in the rain!

The Kellam Estates was everything I could have asked for in a Wedding Venue. The owners, Alex and Chelsea Kellam were awesome to work with and always quick with responses. This was my first time planning an event and with COVID moving my wedding date back more and more, and living out of town, Alex an Chelsea made it so easy to reschedule and get things done when it seemed like it would never happen. The grounds are beautiful with multiple areas to hold your event, the house that you get ready in is perfection, and it is in a local area to Virginia Beach so it is easy to get to and find but as soon as you go down the driveway you feel like your far from the busy life of VB. My event, pouring rain and all, was magical and a night I won't forget and Chelsea and Alex are a huge reason why. If you have an event, wedding or not, defiantly checkout The Kellam Estates!

I really wish I was leaving a better review. Initially planning with Alex and Chelsea was perfect. They got back to me right away and were super nice which was a HUGE plus considering it was a destination wedding for us since we are military and live in WA.
The day of the wedding came and upon arrival they were no where to be found. I wondered around the house looking for them because I wasn’t too sure where anything was. Fortunately I figured it out and wasn’t greeted by Chelsea until about 3hours after being there. A major issue of the night was that there are no signs on property stating the house is off limits to guest. I tried my best to tell people beforehand. But of course they didn’t listen. While we were getting ready I was able to kick some people out but once the Ceremony started it was sort of out of my control. I was incredibly shocked when I had my coordinator come up to me DURING our photos stating we had to remove all of our items from the house immediately otherwise we would be charged. This caught me off guard because we had until the reception started to do such per the contract. Nonetheless we scrambled to gather everything in a rush to get out of the house. Following this apparently a few kids wondered in the house during the night. I was told that Alex supposedly yelled at them which I don’t appreciate and was also charged fees because they spilled liquid inside. This was incredibly frustrating because I feel they should be in the house to tell people to not enter or have the doors locked since It’s out of my control. Especially since I had to run around mid cocktail hour to get all of our stuff out.
At the end of the night, again I had my coordinator tell me that all the trash had to be taken off property otherwise I’d be charged a $100 fee. Which I was very caught off guard because it never stated that in the contract. Which I later brought up but still had to pay half because they already took care of the trash. I disagree with this considering it was their mistake they didn’t keep up with the fact that my contract didn’t have that new rule in it. I let it go and just let them refund me half. When we did return the next day to clean. A few items were left in the house during our rush to clean up. For instance my moms new steamer; normally you’d think they’d gather the items and let me know. Instead they found it necessary to throw them on the lawn outback. Which it rained so that new steamer is now broken. Overall I was very disappointed. I’m not sure if they had something going on which is why they were so absent during the day no where to be found but it was unacceptable.
