Perfect Wedding

Could not have asked for a better venue. Alexa and the rest of the Linden Row Inn staff went above and beyond to help make our wedding perfect!

Excellent experience

We had the perfect wedding at Linden Row Inn. Casey's (director of sales) incredible attention to detail, clear and prompt communication, flexibility, and genuine kindness made the process of planning our wedding there not only easy, but enjoyable, and we felt confident in their event planning throughout the entire process.

Beyond that, our guests loved staying there. The courtyard was beautifully cleaned and maintained. The bridal suite was HUGE, perfect for portraits, first look photos, etc. Nearly all of our vendors were from their preferred vendor list, and they were a large part of the success of the day as well.

Historic Charm with a Magical Flair

If you are looking for a wedding venue that captures the magic and beauty of a historic location, while adding in its own flair and charm, look no further than Linden Row. My husband and I are truly in awe of how stunning, romantic, charming, and timeless this venue was. Not only is Linden Row a historic venue that is timelessly preserved, but it is located centrally in the heart of Richmond, with all the fun elements it has to offer. Complete with its stunning courtyard, magical tree canopy, and rustic brick, the Linden Row is the perfect place to have a wedding. Beyond its inherent charm, Linden Row is convenient for guests and couples alike. Our guests loved that they could stay on-site for the wedding, grab a bite at Parterre during the weekend, and retire to their cozy room or suite at the end of the night. As a bride, the fact that we could do everything in one location was a game-changer. Additionally, I would recommend the suites to anyone who is getting married--the floor to ceiling windows, beautiful details, and historic elements make for stunning photos. In addition to the location itself, Linden Row's value is in its professional staff. Specifically, Casey, Alexa, and the entire team were invaluable in making our day a success. They worked flawlessly with our vendors, were extremely flexible throughout the entire process and wedding weekend, and executed our vision to a tee. I can confidently say not a single thing went wrong on our wedding (which is very rare) and in fact the wedding was even more magical than expected. Linden Row is truly a rare find. As a budget-conscious bride, I found its value to be incredible, and beyond that it is a place we can return to for years to come to celebrate the memories of a wonderful wedding.

Secret Garden in the City!

I can't think of a more perfect location for a small ceremony in Richmond. Casey and her team were outstanding to work with. All of our guests loved the venue. It was so nice to be able to have the entire wedding in one location. We reserved the Carriage House rooms for our guests. This made it feel like the entire place was really ours for the night. We booked two different suites for the getting ready and they were both beautiful. The pictures are gorgeous. I grew up in South Carolina: Linden Row felt like the perfect marriage of my life in Virginia and the Lowcountry. I highly recommend it and look forward to returning for a honeymoon.

Amazing staff!

We had our ceremony in the courtyard on a Sunday afternoon. There was a storm earlier that day and the staff spent an hour or more clearing the debris from the area before our event. They had a rain plan, but thankfully we didn’t have to use it.

The courtyard is beautiful and shady. We had our ceremony facing the fountain and were able to decorate it how we wanted. The entire facility is beautiful and great for pictures.

Casey was very responsive and helpful throughout the process. Alexa was our day of contact and she was amazing! The space is not very ADA friendly but Casey made sure that there was a ramp and special parking for our guest that needed it. All of our guests said it was a beautiful space. Several stayed in the hotel for the weekend and really enjoyed it.

We got a suite which was beautiful and large enough for the bridal party to get ready in. We had hair and make up come to us for 5 people and had plenty of space. Overall, it was great and the staff was amazing.

A Dream Venue

Linden Row Inn was the perfect wedding venue. My fiancé and I knew we wanted to have a small, ~50-person wedding, and searched high and low for venue that was right-sized. We finally found Linden Row Inn and it was everything we were looking for. Their garden courtyard space perfectly fit our guests for an intimate ceremony-turned-reception-turned dance party (although, a true testament to how great and versatile the venue is - the space is able to seat up to 125 guests). We had ample time to set up before the event and clean up afterwards, and they graciously allowed us to store our personal items in their meeting room before and after the wedding. My fiancé and I, as well as a majority of our guests, stayed on-site in their various suites and guest rooms - we had the most enjoyable stay and received nothing but great feedback from our guests as well. Linden Row Inn’s historical charm also made for the most beautiful photos. The inn has so many unique hallways, balconies and nooks and crannies for photo locations. But what really made Linden Row Inn so wonderful was their people. Casey and Alexa worked with us from start to finish and were an absolute pleasure to work with. From our initial FaceTime tour of the property until their post-event outreach, they were fantastic. They were responsive, professional, flexible and somehow never lost patience with me even after what must have been my 1,000th email to them with questions. They were incredibly knowledgable and helpful and I felt like they truly cared about my event. Linden Row Inn is a beautiful venue made even better by incredible people. I would highly recommend it to any couple.

Perfect Intimate Oasis in the Heart of Downtown

When we got engaged in December of 2019 and began our search for our wedding venue, Linden Row ticked every box on our list. We were enticed by the convenience of this almost all-inclusive style venue. Our guests stayed in the Garden and Main House rooms, parents and wedding party stayed in the suites which were perfect for getting ready (and ABSOLUTELY stunning...and HUGE!), taking photos the day of the wedding and general hospitality spaces to entertain friends and family throughout the weekend. We also booked our Rehearsal Dinner nearby so guests were able to walk to dinner the night before and bar hop throughout the neighborhood in anticipation of the festivities that were to come. The bricked over, intimate garden space provided the perfect backdrop that does not require over decoration and the in-house catering through Groovin' Gourmets was absolutely delicious. Their team knocked it out of the park as they handled the set-up, turnover from ceremony to reception and break-down at the end of the night. It honestly felt like we didn't even have to lift a finger and their team was on top of the details before we could even think about it. At the end of the night any guests that were interested in keeping the party going we had coordinated with the in-house restaurant, Parterre, to stay open so our guests could continue to enjoy their time together. This was so convenient so no one had to worry about even leaving the hotel, they could just walk to the restaurant inside, have a few drinks and then head upstairs to go to bed. We enjoyed brunch at Parterre the next day before family and friends parted ways, it was just the perfect weekend and I would not have changed a thing. The Linden Row team made this all possible from their outstanding front desk team to the sales department helping keep all of the details straight-10/10 would recommend, do not overlook this awesome venue!

Perfect for an intimate wedding in the city

We were looking for somewhere with the charm of old Richmond but has progressive values. We feel like we got that in this venue.

Casey with Linden Row Inn was amazing to work with. We used Linden Row for our intimate reception of about 70. We tented the courtyard and it was so beautiful for our early summer wedding. Casey knows the ins and outs of the venue and was able to work with our vendors regarding any logistics with set up, take down, space limits, etc. She was flexible and understanding, especially since we had to postpone due to COVID.

It was nice that our family and friends could stay right at Linden Row by booking through the room block we had set up. Also, their suites are amazing and huge! I'd strongly recommend booking one or two for getting ready on the day of your wedding. My room could easily fit my bridesmaids and moms as we were getting our hair and make-up done. There was another suite across the way for my partner so we wouldn't run into each other on the day of. He was able to host the groomsmen and dads in there easily as well. Would definitely recommend it

Perfect urban RVA wedding!

Linden Row was absolutely amazing from start to finish! Planning a wedding during COVID wasn't exactly fun but Casey, their sales & events director, was so extremely helpful. She kept us up to date on any and all updates regarding guest counts, masks mandates, etc. As a Richmond transplant, I wanted to find a venue that would give a good representation of the city to my traveling guest. The ability for my guest to book rooms and stay at the venue was so convenient and they all loved the charm. The courtyard venue was breath taking and exactly what we were looking for. The entire Linden Row team was so accommodating. We were extremely happy with their food vendor and the overall price tag for rental was fantastic by comparison

Amazing intimate and elegant wedding venue!

Linden Row Inn is an AMAZING wedding venue! Everyone in our families said it was the most flawless, unique, and fun wedding they had been to, and that's in huge part due to the awesome tea at Linden Row Inn and their catering team at Groovin' Gourmet (Casey and Michelle in particular, respectively).

The people: Casey was wonderful in helping us navigate all of the changes in Virginia due to COVID so we could have a lovely intimate reception where people felt safe, but we still could have a ton of fun! She has a great eye for floorplans and is great at troubleshooting ay challenges that could come up. Plus she works really closely with the caterer - Groovin' Gourmet - and they are a dynamic due. The staff at the Inn are sweet and kind and great at troubleshooting whatever comes up. All of the staff have worked there for a long time, which speaks to the quality of the hotel. It felt like everyone was invested in making the day a great one - you'll feel the love here!

The space: The garden space + board room is a BEAUTIFUL space and is perfectly set up for a dance floor, buffet/dining room, cocktail hour, and reception space all in the same area (that way you don't have to book multiple spaces!). We had 56 guests and it was perfect, but we easily could have had more and it would not have felt too crowded. We had the tent because it was a little rainy and everyone raved about how perfect it was - clear top so you can still see the trees, little lights to brighten up the space. Plus, the hotel rooms themselves are lovely and comfortable (the beds are the best), and many of the garden rooms have been recently redone. The rooms feel both historical and comfortable - whether you stay in a garden room or splurge for a Parlour Suite.

I was a bride who liked being in the loop on all the details, and Casey and Michelle (with Groovin Gourmet) are real pros who were super patient with all my questions - I could tell they make anything happen, and make it beautiful and in budget. They truly rock. Have your wedding here, and do it brunch style (the cheesy potatoes will blow your mind).
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
