Perfect fit for our wedding

My daughter was going to get married at another venue that we booked last year but all of a sudden the venue shut their doors on us 3 months before our wedding without any notice. my daughter and her fiancé were overly stressed. As a mother I felt like i had to help them start all over again. I started calling venues , out of all that i called , one was the Magnolia mansion , they scheduled a tour right away. Coming to this place made us realize that we still have a chance to enjoy and celebrate our wedding day as we have imagined within 3 months period. The staff has been helpful, caring and concerned when we told them about our situation. They have been helping us get everything together. Moreover , It is a gorgeous venue! Yes - we don’t have a waterview as our other venue but we love the options they have available. We have gone through so much stress in the passed few days but we are so happy to have found this venue and feel comfortable going with them allowing all of our booked vendors to be apart of our day. Thank you Magnolia! Looking forward to our big day celebration. The reason I’m posting this is to help the other brides who have been effected by the shut down of the other venue - call magnolia and if they have availability they will start the process right away .

All the beauty of an upscale, classic wedding venue, with the feel of a family-owned business

My husband and I had our wedding at Magnolia Mansion this November (2023) and I still have not stopped receiving comments from our friends and family about what a perfect venue it was!

The owners of this venue have put so much intentionality and thoughtfulness into renovating the space and it clearly shows. Our wedding flowed seamlessly from one space to the next (because they currently have and will soon have even more options for spaces for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception).

The other thing that I loved about this space was the flexibility of it! Because it is an inn and wedding venue, there were so many unique spaces for us to use for pictures, and even for the wedding party to spend time together after guests began to leave. Our photographer even commented on how many different options there were for pictures!

But truly the thing that made this venue extra special were the owners. From start to finish, I could tell that they were so invested in making this day special for not only my husband and I, but our families as well! They were so communicative with us throughout the process, and especially as last minute details came together. We ended up visiting the venue multiple times throughout the wedding planning process, and the owners were so accommodating with setting up times during the week that worked around our work schedules so that we could finalize details on site.

Even after the wedding, when I realized I had left a few items at the venue, the owners set my things aside and followed up with me directly about them so that I could come pick them up! This venue has all of the beauty of an upscale, classic wedding venue, with the feel of a family-owned business that really cares about making your event the experience of a lifetime!

Most Accommodating Venue

If you want the perfect wedding, look no further than the Magnolia Mansion. One of my favorite parts about the venue is the long driveway leading up to the mansion lined with light posts and dense tree line that evokes so much emotion for your guests as they are arriving, anticipating the event. We held our rehearsal dinner at the venue and stayed with our wedding party on site Friday and Saturday night. The new owners have just completely renovated the entire venue. I’m especially impressed by the reception area in the back beneath the tent, because it held 15 tables, a dance floor, dj table, sweetheart table, and gift table for 138 guests beautifully. It’s got the carefully manicured courtyard we used for cocktail hour, we jumped in the pool, and went in the hot tub! There’s a movable bar we had our signature cocktails beneath the lights and then another gorgeous wooden bar in the sunroom that we used as our wine bar. There was ample parking. Had many seating areas beneath twinkling outdoors light that really softened the whole back yard and made it so romantic. The owner, Ash not only allowed us to have everything we wanted on our day - her and her brother helped us set everything up !! The whole family was all hands on deck when it came to helping us to pull together every detail of our ceremony and reception.

Oh my goodness! What is not to love about Apple Blossom! I have loved this area since visiting many times and Apple Blossom has all the charm of the South meeting the North in perfect harmony. There is plenty of space for you and gorgeous nearby places for family and friends to stay. They boast a pool, hot tub, fire pit, and yes, a COVERED dance floor outside with chandeliers! This is simply THE BEST place to tie the knot in this area of VA! And I would love to photograph the classic, romantic, joyful couple here!
