Shenandoah Lodge is a waterfront wedding venue located in Lake Frederick, Virginia. Nestled in Northern Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, the lodge is positioned at the base of the famed Blue Ridge Mountains. The venue provides couples and their guests with access to 900-acres of verdant woodland greenery. Overlooking the property is the beautiful 117-acre Lake Frederick, offering majestic mountain views in the distance.

The property boasts four event spaces for couples to utilize on their special day. The lodge's Lakeside Lawn is an outdoor ceremony location that can comfortably accommodate up to 200 guests. This spacious area features breathtaking views of Lake Frederick and serves as an ideal ceremonial setting. The second outdoor space the team at The Shenandoah Lodge offers is the stylish and more private Garden Terrace. This fenced-in area is enhanced by ambient string lights and burlap decor. The lodge has two main indoor reception areas available for milestone events. The venue's stylish Event Center can facilitate up to 150 guests. This open-concept space features exposed wooden beams and sparkling chandeliers overhead, adding a sense of rustic elegance to the room's atmosphere. The Paddock is the property's second indoor offering and is better suited to more intimate celebrations. This uniquely designed dining suite features four walls of custom wine lockers and can seat up to 16 people. In addition to the property's ceremony and reception spaces, the lodge boasts an elegant get-ready suite for couples to utilize on the morning of their wedding. This area, called The Skyline Room, can accommodate up to 30 people and serves as a wonderful preparation and relaxation space for wedding parties.

Book Now! You Won’t Regret It!

The Shenandoah Lodge made our wedding day an experience that will forever stay with us. The venue itself, staff, and our coordinator (Karen) instantly felt like a part of our family from day one. Karen ensured that our needs and wants were met. She made our wedding process stress-free and fun! Even on our Big Day, Karen and her staff at the Lodge ensured that our guests’ needs were met no matter the circumstances. We recommend the Shenandoah and Lodge (and specifically Karen) if you want a beautiful and reliable venue, a diligent coordinator, and an experience that makes you excited for your wedding day rather than stressed. This is the place to go!

Wonderful Venue

My son got married at The Shenandoah Lodge in May, and everything was fabulous. Karen is a joy to work with…she is professional, calm and flexible. The venue was beautiful, the food delicious and service outstanding. We also had the rehearsal dinner there and it was equally fabulous. I would highly recommend this venue!

Perfect Wedding Venue

Unbelievable venue, excellent service, beautiful setting and delicious
food! Karen made us feel like family and assured every detail was perfect. She was very caring, responsive and flexible. Planning the wedding from NJ, we weren't certain our expectations would be met, but they were exceeded! Couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue!

Flawless Experience

From the moment we visited the Shenandoah Lodge we knew it would be the venue for us. It is BEAUTIFUL and in a great location to hotels - which is what we needed having mostly out of town guests. They handle food and beverage which made the planning so much less stressful for us. All of our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was. The banquet staff was great and really worked hard to ensure everything related to the food/beverage was perfect. The event coordinators, Christina and Savannah are so friendly, professional, and phenomenal at what they do. They made sure everything was flawless and really have the entire process down to a science. I can’t thank them enough for playing such a huge role in making sure our day was everything we imagined. They helped me so much with planning and eased any concerns I had. They were also super quick to respond (seriously sometimes even late at night) which was always very appreciated! I can’t recommend the Shenandoah Lodge enough and am so glad we chose them for our wedding day.

Dream Wedding!

In August of 2020 my fiancé and I decided to look at Shenandoah Lodge as a possible wedding venue. We met with Amy & Christina. They gave us a tour and run down and right away we knew this was place we wanted to get married. That day we secured our date and started our incredible journey with Christina! Throughout the year Christina and I corresponded regularly threw many emails, phone calls and a few in person meetings. She could not have been knowledgeable and professional threw out it all! They are a one stop shop for all things venue, food, alcohol, and even set up the things for your wedding day! You do not need an event coordinator as that’s what Christina and Savannah are for and they are fabulous! On August 14, 2021 we finally said I DO! The day of our wedding went so smoothly and everything was just a dream! It could not have been more perfect. Savannah and Christina are so amazing at their job! Everything exceeded any expectations or dreams of the perfect wedding I ever had! I can not recommend them enough! If you are thinking of having your wedding here just do it! I promise you will not regret it!

It was a JOY to work with them!

If you are looking for a chic, yet, intimate and rustic venue for your event, look no further! Christina, Savannah, and the food staff at the Lodge were always so helpful and anticipated our every need. I cannot rave about this place enough. Everyone helping for our event were so happy and felt like family on our wedding day. I can't forget to mention the great tasting food for such an amazing value. We can't wait to come back to have more events here!

Perfect in every way

We spent months, many months, as I’m sure you are now, searching for the perfect venue for our wedding. I had so many lists, questions, and was overwhelmed with options and feeling like we would never find the place, then I emailed Courtney at the Shenandoah lodge. My wedding planning life changed forever! The venue is stunning, the food is absolutely incredible, and Courtney took care of everything! When we first talked I was sold, then I met her and the staff at lake Frederick weddings. Honest, reliable, so flexible and truly above and beyond service. Our rehearsal dinner was flawless, and our wedding day was perfect. Courtney is so organized, on top of things and experienced, our wedding planning was easy and just enjoyable all around. She doubled as my wedding planner, day of coordinator, maid of honor, and most importantly was my eyes and ears for everything to ensure our wedding vision was not only met, but exceeded beyond imagination. Our guests commented non stop the day of and since on how beautiful the venue was, how amazing the food was, and how helpful and attentive the staff was. If I could I would rate them 100 stars. Did I mention they were affordable and worked with our budget? Hands down the best vendor I’ve ever worked with.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
