Talk about luxury

We had our wedding under the Washington package with the dessert display and late night snacks. Talk about luxury. The ballroom, the staircase, the staff, the rooms, everything was exactly how we imagined our wedding. The food was incredible, our only regret was not eating more of it. Planning was very smooth, the staff was helpful, and the event planners at the Virginian were very thorough to ensure the event went off without a hitch. They were very flexible with what we wanted with our wedding, for example: we love tiramisu, so we were able to substitute one of our dessert display desserts with some of the BEST tiramisu cupcakes we have ever had (we really wish we had the recipe because we only ate two over the course of the night and would love to have more!). The planning process was very low stress with them, which was great since we lived 4 hours from the actual venue, and in the end everything went very smoothly on the wedding day. Our guests were very impressed with the food, especially the cocktail hour foods, and the staff all worked to make the event special. The bartenders were great and there was never too long of a wait at the bar during the wedding. Hotel staff throughout the weekend were very accommodating, the valets were lovely to work with, and all our guests that stayed on site loved all of the luxuries of the hotel. Thank you so much for your hard work Shelby and Angelie, we really appreciate your guidance during the wedding planning process.

Best Venue Ever

I went to Liberty, so about everyone I know has gotten married in Lynchburg. By far, I had the best experience planning and preparing for my wedding of anyone I've talked to who was married at another venue. Angelie is a gem and was incredibly responsive and accommodating. My mom and I made several site visits before and after my now-husband and I made the decision to get married here and we were made to feel so special and cared for at each appointment. The venue is beautiful and well-maintained, the food is AMAZING, and they were so flexible letting us set everything up early. The banquet staff and front desk personnel were amazing as well! About 80% of our guests were coming in from out of town and a lot of them stayed at the Virginian. Each of them had nothing but great things to say about how kind everyone was. I stayed in a suite with my bridesmaids the night before, got ready in it that morning, and it was flipped for our wedding night during the reception. Such an amazing experience. I wouldn't have done anything differently!

Elegant venue with top-notch service

The Virginian Hotel was the perfect wedding venue for us - classy, timeless, and a gorgeous backdrop for our reception. From the moment that we dropped off our Welcome bags for our guests with The Virginian staff, I knew that I wouldn’t have to worry about the details of our wedding day coming together. Every member of the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming to us and all of our guests. In selecting our wedding venue, we wanted our guests to have an amazing experience and have top-notch, professional service while they were our guests which The Virginian absolutely delivered on. I did not have to worry about any details during our reception and The Virginian packed up boxes of cocktail hour and reception food for us to fully enjoy in the days after our wedding. While I am from Lynchburg, most of our guests were traveling in from out of town for our wedding. It was also important for us to have a place where all of our guests could stay as well as enjoy the reception. The Virginian made quite an impression on our guests - offering a beautiful venue and great hospitality. We heard so many compliments from our guests about how elegant the hotel was and how much they loved touring around downtown Lynchburg. The Virginian Hotel will always hold a special place in our hearts and we look forward to visiting in the years to come.

Highly Recommend The Virginian Hotel for a Wedding

Our wedding day was absolutely beautiful. The Virginian Hotel was a delight to work with and made the process seamless for us when it came to aligning the venue space and putting together our menu. Our food was a 10/10 , the event staff and catering managing went above and beyond to make sure our guest were taken care of and that we had everything we needed during the ceremony and reception.

Simply the best!

There are not enough characters available in this review box to express the magnificent experience we had at The Virginian. I am a former Customer Service Manager and a current Manager in the trade show industry. I’m keenly aware of systems that run great. The Virginian is honestly doing the work to ensure their guests/customers are satisfied. Our daughter’s wedding was handled with 5-star attention from the time we called to say we were interested in booking the date all the way to the day of the blessed event! Not only was the staff amazing (Shelley, Angelie, Laura, Memory, and others); the rooms and the restaurants lacked nothing. Oh… the ballroom is a dream. It’s elegance is breathtaking. Thank you for an AMAZING experience! You will see us again!

Fabulous venue--fabulous staff

Angelie Keller & her staff at the Virginian Hotel in Lynchburg VA were on point and focused on helping us from the first day of our wedding planning until the sparklers were extinguished at the end of the reception. I will be forever grateful for their support, guidance, expertise, competence, attention to detail, flexibility, and generosity of spirit. We had the most magical, most beautiful, most fun-filled wedding reception imaginable, with truly outstanding hors d'oeuvres and dinner offerings, and all at a reasonable cost. Even our tailor-made Signature Cocktail was superb! My husband and I, as well as the Bride & Groom, could not be happier with having chosen the Virginian. Absolutely perfect wedding reception in every way!

Amazing experience!!!!

Wow!!!We chose The Virginian as the venue for our daughter’s wedding, and it was the best choice we could ever have made! Both Angelie and Shea are experts at coordinating and communicating to design an amazing event! Having the in-house catering and venue as well as an affordable block of beautiful rooms available to out of town guests, made the Virginian the perfect choice for our daughter’s special day! The venue itself provided a gorgeous, elegant backdrop for photos. The bridal suite provided a beautiful space for the bride and bridesmaids to prepare for the wedding. The food was spectacular!!!! Guests loved the food and left raving about it! You will not regret choosing The Virginian for your big day!
