They really care

Shawnee Farms Estates is a truly magical place for a wedding. Our wedding was on the grounds by the farmhouse on June 5th, 2021 and it was absolutely gorgeous. There are so many options for where to have the ceremony and reception that you can make your entire day personalized to exactly what you want! Katherine, the property manager, is so kind and works very hard to make sure you're happy with how it all comes together. She stayed in constant communication through COVID-19, and she was very open to any idea I had for my special day. Everything came together exactly how my husband and I had envisioned...and then some! We owe a big part of how it all came together to Katherine and the team at Shawnee! THEY REALLY CARE.

Our Best Day

We found Shawnee Farms Estate while looking for a wedding venue in the Shenandoah Valley. As we pulled up and saw the 360 views of mountains we knew we found a special place. The estate house was perfectly maintained with old fashioned luxury and the property offered so many diverse ceremony sites. Our wedding turned out to be our best day ever. Guests loved the scenery and charm from another time. The staff was so easy to work with from day 1 and did everything possible to make this day so special for us. We wish we could do it all over again.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
