About

Weddings should last for days, not hours. Shenandoah Woods specializes in weddings where all of your guests will enjoy the entire weekend together. Located in a private valley in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah Woods is a spectacular setting for your wedding. Our Pavilion is on the edge of our forest with a sweeping view of mountains and farms below. Our Pavilion is a custom 3200 square foot, open air structure with changing rooms, restrooms and a catering kitchen. We provide as much as we can to make your planning as simple as possible; you do NOT need to rent a tent, port-o-potties, speakers, lighting, tables or chairs. Choose to have your ceremony on the lawn in front of the Pavilion, or in the chapel in the woods, just a short walk away. Your wedding party and guests may choose to stay in any of our 17 onsite modern cabins making an amazing weekend for everyone!

We only book one wedding per weekend which means you have exclusive access to our venue Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Our rate is $9500. You can check availability here on Wedding Wire or on our website, linked below.

Mountain-chic wedding venue driving distance from DC!

Shenandoah Woods was our dream wedding venue - and it delivered! The covered, open-air pavilion is the perfect reception venue, and it also makes for a rain contingency site for the gorgeous outdoor ceremony site. The mountain and sunset views from the pavilion are amazing, and our guests raved about the beauty of the location. We also loved that our guests had the option to book cabins on the property and use the shuttle service to get to and from their accommodations on our wedding day.

Jason was a very professional, communicative, and supportive throughout the planning process. We plan to visit his cabins again in the future to remember our amazing day!

Wedding in the Mountains

We had our wedding here 6/36/2022 and it was the best and most funnest weekend with our families we all have had. To have the venue the weekend is great for othe uses such as brunches, rehearsal dinners, or game night! We utilized the picnic area, Pavillion, and the Somerset Cabin for our events with our families and friends. Loved that the cabins are blocked off for guest to book and they're handled by the venue. All issues our guests had at the cabins had them immediately resolved with a text to Jason or the number provided at booking. All the guests loved the cabins and everyone was in completely different ones. Ones for families, couples, adults only, or single, everyone had a comfy cabin for the weekend or longer. It rained on our wedding day and the pavilion was still cozy and comfortable. Guests loved the convenience of the shuttle on the day of the wedding and after the wedding. Each cabin has a beautiful view and will make you come back. We came back for our honeymoon and used the discount that was given when we booked the venue. It was a bit intimidating to have everything to your responsibility but it ended up being very simple and they work will all vendors! We loved having our wedding custom made to our desires and this venue is the perfect place to do so! The pavilion had everything needed for our wedding such as the bathrooms with changing areas, kitchen, yard games, tables, lights, mics, and ceiling fans! Even the sign with our names was our to keep! The vendors had a relaxing time at the venue. Jason was very helpful and wonderful to work with! We booked our venue 2 years out and in that 2 years he always kept communication and always answered any questions we had. The price of the venue was well worth everything we received!

A perfect wedding weekend!

I can't say enough nice things about Jason Cave. He was wonderful to work with leading up to my June wedding, he would answer my many emails even if I missed the info on the website. He also massively stepped up on the day-of to help pick up more guests than expected because my other hired bus showed up over 40 minutes late. He made my day significantly better by basically removing that mishap.
The venue itself was amazing! I loved Shenandoah woods when I first saw it in the Spring of 2022 and was blown away by the beauty for my wedding weekend in June 2023.
We had a pizza truck for our Friday dinner by Willow pond, which went extremely well. There was a play area for the kids and some kayaks/canoes for guests to enjoy. On Saturday, the wedding ceremony site and Pavilion were wonderful and the layout really worked for cocktail hour, dinner, speeches and dancing. On Sunday, we had brunch in the Pavilion with food/coffee from a local coffee shop where the majority of our guests were able to enjoy some food before heading home.
I highly recommend Shenandoah Woods for your wedding or event! The cabins also made it extra special so we could have our friends and family close by and make it more of a weekend than just a day celebration.

Gorgeous Venue with Great Amenities

We are truly thankful to Jason and the Pavilion for giving us a gorgeous backdrop for our wedding and providing so many nice touches to help make our day special. We have received many compliments on the space itself (beautiful views, rustic feel, romantic lighting) as well as its many amenities (lawn games, onsite cabins, shuttle services). We even received the wood sign for our event as a momento from the Pavilion.
We were also really grateful to have the rental space for the entire weekend (Friday through Sunday) because it meant that we didn't have to rush around for set up and clean up. This really helped to set a relaxed and fun mood for our wedding day.
I would not hesitate to recommend the Pavilion to any couple looking for a fun and relaxed mountain wedding!

Perfect Venue!

We had our wedding weekend at Shenandoah Woods and could not imagine a more perfect venue. The pavilion is very well equipped and we used it for our welcome dinner, cocktail hour, and wedding reception. The views out onto the mountains are perfect for photos or a quiet moment away from the crowds. The built in sound system and lighting made throwing a party simple. The Chapel in the Woods is what truly sold us when Jason pointed out that the mountain we got engaged on in Shenandoah National Park was visible from where we'd be standing during our ceremony. The luxury cabins onsite and nearby provided plenty of space for our friends and families and let everyone stay longer than they might have otherwise to make it more than just a few hours of celebration. Jason, the owner, was always quick to respond to questions and offer assistance or additional decorations as he could. Everyone could not stop marveling about how perfect the venue was and we would highly recommend it to anyone!

Stunning! Perfect mountain wedding

We got married at Shenandoah Woods almost two weeks ago and it was everything we could have hoped for! Jason was easy to communicate with and accommodating. We had to postpone our wedding for a year and Jason was wonderful to work with through that change. Most of our guests stayed in the cabins on site and loved the shuttle service that Jason provided, the stunning views, the hot tubs, and the wedding weekend getaway with so many loved ones. We were lucky to still have some fall colors on the trees and had some stunning backdrops all day. The Pavilion was warm and cozy with the heaters going, vinyl walls down, and fire pit roaring as it got down to the low 40s during our reception! We used the Pavilion for the rehearsal dinner and a Sunday brunch as well. I can't recommend Jason and Shenandoah Woods enough. It was all perfect!

Amazing venue, but more importantly, Jason is great!

The venue is beautiful - we loved having cabins onsite and that everything is outdoors and well-equipped.

More importantly, Jason is amazing! He is so easy to work with, highly communicative, and extremely helpful. We had to move our wedding date due to Covid and Jason had no problem with it at all - he made the whole process so stress-free, and made sure he was available and ready to help the entire weekend. He responded to last minute requests for shuttle rides, helped make sure everything worked for the venue and music, and was readily available at all times.

Highly recommend!

Amazing. Magical. Beautiful. Gorgeous. Fun. Everything we could have asked for and more. A dream!

Shenandoah Woods is magical. First of all, YES the view is that beautiful. Secondly, with the ease of having the cabins on site, you get to see that view for days before and after if you choose. At of all the reviews about our wedding, this is by far the one that is entirely difficult to write and put into words because this place is that special.
First and foremost, Shenandoah Woods was our first vendor hired and by far the most important for us. I knew the moment I saw the listing on wedding wire, that was the place I as a Bride wanted to get married. Our timeline was based on the availability, and unfortunately getting engaged in October, led us to have to pick a date a year and half away in May the following year (in hindsight lucky for us because COVID :/). Anyway, the wait was absolutely worth it. The weather. We could not have asked for a more perfect mountain day. May led to a cool morning, warm afternoon, and beautiful evening.
The ceremony and Pavilion are gorgeous. The amenities at these places are clean and comfortable. All of our vendors were able to make it there without an issue (including the Fedex man delivering the flowers)
They have on site cabins. Booking was a breeze. The cabins are NOT all walking distance to each other, but that is OKAY because it makes you feel like you are the only one up there when you are in the cabins. I will say the roads are mostly gravel; you do NOT need a 4x4, but some may feel more comfortable in something that is not "low" to the ground, which we told our guests about prior. Some did bring cars which made it up and down the roads just FINE. If even rained/stormed at some point in time during the week we were there and we we all made it just fine. The cabins themselves are amazing. We have traveled to a couple of cabins in our time and these were more than comfortable, accommodating and well stocked. Your guests will be happy and in awe. Many of our guests (including my parents) want to come back and spend time here outside of our wedding! This made going back to work after the wedding tough!
My recommendation to all is to make sure to book extra time; either prior to or after the wedding, you are going to want to relax and enjoy your time there. We went Wed-Wed with wedding on Saturday and was perfect.
As far as the wedding venue, you are fairly on your own--the necessities (and then some) were provided, but after that it's up to you, which is exactly what we were looking for. You can hire all the vendors, or hire a few and do some on your own (which is what we did), or do it all yourself (which is more than doable if you are that kind of person, the view/cabins speak for themselves).
Jason Cave. The man. He is lighting fast with responses. He went ABOVE and beyond what was needed to make it a magical weekend. The shuttle service day of was awesome and much appreciated. We cannot thank him enough for having Shenandoah Woods and for allowing us to get married there. It was magical, and it was better than we could have ever dreamed. Coming from a slightly anxious bride that read a million reviews on everything over and over again, let me just say, this was THE place (and do I have to even mention worth ever penny? cause it is). We will be back again for vacation, and we cannot believe we were given the privilege to get married at this slice of heaven.

Side note: the bridal party/groomsmen got read in the Lost Paddle and Pinnacle Cabins, were were perfect for what we needed. Close together to party together prior to and after, far enough away to not see each other prior. Highly recommend.

Incredible Wedding Venue!

Shenandoah Woods was the perfect venue for our wedding. We had such an amazing weekend that we were able to share with our family and friends. Jason was so easy to work with and incredibly helpful. Everything went off without a hitch. I can't imagine anyone not having the best time celebrating their wedding here. All of our friends and family who stayed in cabins loved them (as did we!). The Pavilion itself is stunning with gorgeous views. The fire pits in the fall were everything. We will definitely visit again!

The dream wedding beyond my wildest dreams...

Just this past weekend, my husband and I were married at Shenandoah Woods and it nothing short of an absolutely perfect experience! The venue itself provides the most breathtaking views and the coziest accommodations that made every moment of the event feel like a fairy tale. Every one of our guests is still raving about the experience and, if booking this venue, you can expect that each of your guest's FaceBook profile picture will quickly be changed to one with your wedding as it's backdrop! Beyond simply the beauty of the location, the owner, Jason Cave, was more than wonderful to work with. A wedding is no small feat to plan with it's many, many considerations that need to be made, but Jason made it so much easier by always being available to answer any questions/concerns quickly and succinctly, even providing new and creative solutions to needs that may not have been part of the offerings they usually include. Being a family owned business with many years of experience, he is basically an expert on the topic. Not only was he available to my husband and I, he was just as willing to accommodate and assist our guests staying on the resort with any of their needs. With his help, we have ALL made memories that will last a lifetime and we are already making plans to return to stay in the cabins! You will not regret having your wedding at Shenandoah Woods.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Y-it Entertainment Y-it Entertainment Wedding DJs

From a DJ's point of view I always get nervous with outdoor venues and any venue that has there own audio house system. I reached out to Jason and he immediately responded which is awesome! (Venues are usually very poor at responding) He answered all my questions. Day of he has awesome to work with and the audio system rocked! (I was impressed!) For being an outdoor venue the place was crazy clean and the restrooms were as well. He also has a built in lights for dance time. Not the inexpensive cheap lights either. I could tell that Jason put some thought into this. Jason was also available the whole evening and during the event put up covers up to keep the warmth in as it was a rather chilly rainy day. I loved the look and feel of the venue. Any Bride & Groom or company looking to throw a party should check this venue out and at least make a trip to visit this venue and see for yourself! Great venue! Great service! Jason is the man! PS: You have to take a picture in front of the truck!

Shenandoah Woods is one of my favorite venues. Why? Obviously they have a lovely pavilion & amazing views. But, also because Jason goes above and beyond to ensure a wonderful event every time.
