A truly unique wedding experience

When my husband and I were looking for a wedding venue, we wanted something unique. The VA MOCA met all the expectations for a one of a kind wedding venue that we could have wished for. The marvelous ficus lighted trees, the awe inspiring Dale Chihuly chandelier, and the rotating art exhibition make for a wedding venue that stands out from the rest. Kay Barbini was the most warm, welcoming and accommodating event manager that we met with (and we looked a LOT of venues). Even when met with rain challenges late the day of, Kay and the MOCA seamlessly adapted to our new plans for the wedding and delivered a beautiful space that marveled our guests from beginning to end. The MOCA has everything we needed in a wedding venue and we cannot recommend it more!

The perfect wedding venue

Don't think twice about booking MOCA as your wedding venue! This was by far the perfect place to share this special day with our family and friends. Our guest are still talking about how beautiful the facility and grounds are weeks after our wedding. Kay Barbini was the absolute best to work with. I love how she took the time to get to know us and understand what we were looking for in a venue! The ABSOLUTE best place ever! ❤️
