About

Situated in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley between the Allegheny and Appalachian mountain ranges, the Granary is a classic venue for Virginia and destination weddings and events. The Granary's elegant and refined aesthetic provides a soft, timeless canvas for every design vision, from its original timber structure to its neutral finishes and details.


THE GRANARY |
With white shiplap walls and original hand-hewn exposed beams and columns, the Granary maintains a historic aesthetic and embodies a classy, nostalgic character that can’t be replicated in new construction. The original structure is softened by white chiffon sheer draping, and 400 feet of bistro lights create a warm, intimate ambiance throughout the venue. With more than 4,000 square feet of space, the Granary can accommodate large receptions with space for entertainment and flexibility for multiple reception floor plans. Our custom acid-wash concrete floors create a stunning, high-end surface that pairs beautifully with our wooden cross back reception chairs and signature farm tables, handcrafted from the original wood of our historic 125 year old bank barn.

OUR HISTORY | Built within the original structure of an 1800’s bank barn, the Granary embraces its antiquity and richly weathered aesthetic. Custom acid-washed concrete, white ship-lap finishes, and handcrafted details create a timeless, intentional architecture within the Granary and its adjoining Taproom, providing an effortless setting for weddings. The venue’s exposed structure and lofty ceilings establish an airy ambiance, and its expansive western-facing windows allow for soft, natural light and a seamless transition to the portico and outdoor hearth. Its hand-hewn beams tell of its agro-industrial history, and its worn wood adorns the space in a beautifully neutral palette. The century-old barn was reclaimed, relocated, and given the chance to harbor another generation of gatherings within the grain of its walls. Every piece of the original barn was thoughtfully counted and deconstructed, and in turn, the Granary was resurrected and rooted to overlook a sea of golden fields in the foothills of the Virginia mountains.

CEREMONIAL FIELDS | The Granary overlooks beautiful fields backed by a lane lined with more than 60 maple trees, perfect for an outdoor ceremony. With three popular ceremony sites, our couples can select the backdrop that best fits their wedding aesthetic and ceremony timeline to achieve the best lighting conditions. Our antique wooden ceremony chairs are set in place on the day of the wedding by Granary staff members to alleviate the need for additional labor.

GETTING READY SUITES | The Granary offers private suites in a loft for the couple, designed with ample natural light and spacious open plans for the comfort of our couples and their wedding parties as they get ready. Both suites include private restrooms, large full length mirros, beautiful crystal chandeliers and stunning, neutral decor. The primary suite includes a custom-built hair & makeup vanity for on-location studios, a full length mirror, antique French wardrobe for dresses, and plush chairs and seating. Access to these suites is provided via a personal code to allow for privacy and security for belongings throughout the full reservation.

Beautiful Rehearsal Dinner Location!

We hosted our rehearsal dinner at The Granary at Valley Pike and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. It is such a beautiful and charming Virginia farm market setting, perfect for gathering with loved ones during our wedding weekend. The coordinator was incredibly communicative and organized throughout the entire planning process, which made everything feel easy and seamless. We also really appreciated their excellent bartender service and the thoughtful selection of local Virginia wines, beers, and ciders. From the cozy atmosphere to the warm hospitality, it was the ideal place to kick off our celebrations. We are so glad we chose The Granary and will always remember the special evening we spent there.

Amazing staff and beautiful venue!

We could not have been more pleased with The Granary. One of the most important wedding must haves for us was the venue & The Granary did not disappoint! Not only was the location beautiful, but the staff was a blessing. Sidney was quick to answer all of our questions & really helped give us ideas/tips on our big day. They all helped our day run incredibly smoothly & we could not be more grateful for their team! I cannot recommend the Granary enough.

Incredible team, affordable, beautiful indoors/outdoors -- the perfect Shenandoah Valley venue!

20/10 would recommend The Granary to any and all Virginia brides! Our experience working with Sidney, Bev, Carol, and the rest of the Granary team was top notch. From the minute we toured the venue (the day after a heavy snowstorm -- and they still made sure we could meet, since we were coming from out of town!) until we said goodbyes after our wedding, I was fully supported with responsive emails, phone calls, thorough answers to many random questions, and all done with a genuine smiley face and plenty of exclamation points. This team's kindness and professionalism takes this venue above and beyond!

The venue space itself is the perfect balance of scenic outdoors that is beautiful in every season and a clean and "rustic chic" indoors with the perfect transition space on the lovely finished patio with a stone fireplace and the covered portico above. The floor to ceiling windows keep the space light and bright, with elements that help take the outdoors in, with stone walls, a beautiful wooden farm table, and stylish wooden cross back chairs. The bar space is the perfect size, also with large windows, and both the groomsmen and bridal suites are comfortable, bright, and the ideal rooms to get ready with your crew in.

Lastly, one of the main reasons I chose The Granary for our venue is that, in the event of inclement weather, I liked the indoor space so much that I would be okay with having to move our outdoor ceremony inside. Aaand...cue Hurricane Ian, the weekend of October 1 2022...Although I had to change my vision of my big day, I honestly couldn't have been happier with how our inside ceremony went. My guests were still able to sit along the aisle, we had candles lit and flowers set on some of our reception tables, and the whole ceremony felt much more intimate and special than I could have anticipated. Everyone at The Granary helped make my dream day a reality, despite the hurricane, and it was so meaningful to have their support!

Overall, this is such a unique place in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley -- so if you want something different, but that you can still make your own, definitely consider The Granary! We can't thank them enough for an incredible experience, and we can't wait to come back to visit to enjoy everything else that the Valley Pike Market offers! 🙂

Have your wedding at The Granary!!

We couldn't be happier with our choice to have our wedding at The Granary!

From the very beginning, Sidney and the team at The Granary were nothing but welcoming, caring, and professional. My wife and I had lots of questions throughout the planning process, and no matter how big or small the questions were, Sidney always answered quickly and graciously.

The venue itself was absolutely beautiful. The landscape provided an incredible background for photos, and the indoor space was elegant and charming. The lights and white hanging tapestries that are already installed looked incredible and made decorating extremely easy. Additionally, we loved how there were both bride and groom suites in the upper level of The Granary and that there was a separate entrance/exit that we could use!

On the day of the wedding the entire team at The Granary made our life a breeze and had everything running like a well-oiled machine - we can't say enough good things about them!

We highly recommend having your wedding at The Granary! We couldn't have asked for a better wedding day!

Best venue ever!

The Granary was the one and only venue we toured when planning for our wedding. We knew we didn’t need to look anywhere else as soon as we walked in. This venue is so unique as it comes with the beautiful draping, bistro lighting, and amazing chairs. On top of the venue itself being stunning, Sidney is absolutely incredible. I don’t have enough words to express how amazing she is. I, like every other bride, always had a million questions and she would answer almost instantly. She was so kind and helpful through the entire planning process. Carol who was there for our actual wedding day was SO great! I didn’t have to worry about a single thing with her and my coordinator working together. She really went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. Overall, you will not find a better venue with the kindest team.

Perfect in every way!

There are not enough words to describe the perfect experience I had with having The Granary as my wedding venue! From my initial inquiry to even after my wedding day, everything went perfectly. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The outdoor ceremony spaces and the inside reception area are GORGEOUS. My now husband is a man of few words, so when HE even said that the venue was stunning, I knew this was the place for us!!
The team that we worked with at The Granary is what makes this place truly unbeatable. Sidney was absolutely AMAZING. There was no question that went unanswered (and there were many, many questions) and the kindness that went into every message was incredibly appreciated. Carol was also amazing in making sure our wedding day went off without a hitch!! Everything was absolutely perfect with her. You cannot go wrong with this team!
I could go on forever about how amazing this venue is, but if you are in need of a wedding venue in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley area this is the one!!!!

The PERFECT wedding venue

The Granary was THE PERFECT venue for our September wedding. In September all of the greenery around the venue was in full bloom, and the weather was perfect (this was something when we originally booked that we were worried about). I am so thankful we chose to hold our special day there. The staff was so kind and responsive to all of our questions leading up to the big day, we especially thank Sidney and Bev for how amazing and helpful they were! Sidney is also a photographer (an amazing one at that) and she as well got married there. We hired her to be our wedding photographer, which we would also highly highly recommend (Sidney Leigh Photography). My husband and I can’t recommend or thank The Granary enough for such a magical wedding day. We would have booked them again and again.

Highly Recommend!

My husband and I are traveling healthcare professionals. We were working on the West Coast while planning our wedding at The Granary. We cannot thank Sidney, Bev, and the entire staff enough for helping us plan our special day from across the country. They were so flexible with their time and didn’t hesitate to have early morning phone calls and weekend FaceTimes to help navigate every detail. We cannot stress how gracious and kind everyone we encountered was to bring our vision to life.

I’m originally from the Pittsburgh area, so a cookie table is a staple of weddings. Bev was familiar with this tradition and very helpful in offering ideas on best placement for the cookies to be set up without hindering the flow of people.

We also used a florist from out of state and the staff was so accommodating and gracious with allowing our florist come tour the venue to ensure our vision for a romantic day was achieved.

The on-site accommodations for getting ready were absolutely beautiful. The bridal suite and groom suite were the perfect backdrop for getting ready photos. Our niece was 7 months old at the time and the bridal suite offered the perfect hideaway for nap time and feedings. Bev was so helpful in making sure our day went smoothly. She was always one step ahead of our needs, allowing for a stress free day!

The venue itself is stunning. It’s a perfect blend of modern chic and farmhouse feel. The juxtaposition of polished cement floors with exposed beams and stone walls creates the perfect ambience for photos. The Edison lights offer an added dimension to the decor as well as the fireplace allowing for a cozy feel while celebrating with loved ones.

The Granary fully captures the pure love and genuine happiness that one hopes to have on their wedding day.

Gorgeous Industrial Rustic Venue for the Perfect Day

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Sidney, Bev, and the team at The Granary. I always got responses to emails within minutes of sending. They were flexible without walk-through timing. They are super detail-oriented, reassuring, and knowledgeable about every little thing a bride could worry about.

The architectural design of the event space (polished cement floors, exposed beams, huge windows, refinished barn doors, chiffon draped pillars) makes for amazing ambience and photos. We had planned a 150 guest wedding and had to downsize to 50 guests at the last minute due to COVID. I was afraid the space would feel too big for an intimate gathering, but Sidney helped us decide on a layout that would accommodate a smaller gathering and still feel warm. The space is incredibly versatile. The bar makes for an upscale feel and the cross-back chairs and farm tables are a HUGE bonus because you don't have to coordinate with a rental company.

The bride and groom suites are gorgeous and were such a beautiful space to get ready in. We got married under the huge tree in the field, which was beautiful in the fall! Above and beyond the beautiful grounds, the staff is INCREDIBLE. We had a last minute snafu with our caterer and Bev and Sidney smoothed things over like pros. THANK YOU to The Granary for an amazing day! We will never forget your kindness and professionalism.

A beautiful venue for a beautiful celebration

When my husband and I first got engaged, there was wild debate (particularly from the family peanut gallery) about where we should get married. We live in northern Virginia and the vast majority of our local venues are country clubs. Although they can be beautiful, they simply were not what we were looking for because they didn't feel like "us". When we were browsing venues online, we came across The Granary. We hadn't heard of it and it was about an hour and a half away from us. Not only were the pictures so gorgeous, but the response we received from Sydney was so kind and made us so intrigued, we said screw it, let's take a trip after work and check it out. Instantly upon seeing the venue we were in love. It was everything we wanted but feared we wouldn't find. Classy, rustic, chic: perfect. You could have an event there with just the bones of the space and it would be absolutely gorgeous. The reception area is spacious with gorgeous light and decor, the restrooms are clean and appropriately sized for larger events, the taproom is huge and makes you feel like you're in a lodge in Vail, the bridal and groom suites are the perfect places to get ready for your big day, and the patio/portico is huge and perfect for a cocktail hour. To top it all off, their staff are amazing. We had the pleasure of working with both Sydney and Bev and they are truly amazing at what they do. They care deeply about their role in your big day and it shows in the way they help you. They were accommodating, compassionate, and positive with everything I threw their way (which turned out to be a long messy list inspired by the pandemic). When my bridesmaids saw the venue in person for the first time, they all said "this is so you and Tyler". This venue is beyond gorgeous and all the people that come with it are simply wonderful. We cannot wait to get all our film and photos back to share how beautiful their venue was for our big day.

This place is just amazing!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
