Dream Winery Wedding!

We have loved the Williamsburg Winery since visiting for tastings in college, and we knew it was exactly where we wanted to get married! And it did not disappoint! We loved working with Leah, the wedding coordinator, who was happy to put up with the millions of questions we had for her, and offered lots of helpful suggestions to bring our vision to life. We also loved that catering was included as part of the wedding package; it made the process so much easier! We also took advantage of the hotel on the property, Wedmore Place, by staying there throughout the wedding weekend. Most of the bridal party and several guests also chose to stay there, and we got ready at the hotel as well. On the day of, Wessex Hall was the perfect backdrop for our vows. We love the ambiance created by all the gorgeous wood in the room, the lights and drapes on the ceiling, the fireplace we used as the alter, and wine barrels accenting the space. We were equally happy with the room once it was transformed into the reception area! Possibly our favorite feature of the venue is the wine cellar, where we were able to share our private last dance with our photographer and videographer in tow! Overall, our wedding at the Williamsburg Winery was everything we hoped it would be!

Incredible venue

Beautiful venue with an amazing team. Everything was so easy to coordinate and the place is just beautiful. Leah was responsive and her event team the day of was fantastic. Food is incredible. You even get your own choice of linen and napkin colors. Would definitely recommend, worth every penny.

Wonderful wedding venue

Leah and the staff at the winery were wonderful to work with. Leah always had prompt communication and was friendly. When the Governor order dropped us to a 25 person limit, she was the one who let me know. She was willing to reschedule us if we needed to and was so helpful with all my questions.
On the day of the wedding, Linda and the other winery staff were friendly and extremely helpful. They even brought cocktail hour food and beverages to us while we were taking pictures!
The food was delicious and the spaces for our ceremony and reception were laid out beautifully.

The only complaint we had was the air conditioning upstairs in Westbury hall was temporarily not working, making the groom’s getting ready room uncomfortable. However, this problem was rectified quickly once the winery staff were informed.

It’s a beautiful venue and we had a perfect wedding there.

We are very pleased and loved every bit of our wedding at the Williamsburg Winery. The staff was very responsive from my first email inquiry up until the day of. They were there each step and helped to make our vision come to life. They provide a point person for the all your planning and then the day of to help things run smoothly. They were organized and everything was included in the price which made planning that much easier. This included tables, linens, plates, silverware, cake cutting, staff, etc. They have a large menu to choose from and large variety of wine and beer and happy to bring in additional options. We were able to attend a wine tasting and food tasting beforehand to select the menu which was wonderful and helpful in being able to sample everything.

The staff the day of was attentive, bar ran quickly and smoothly, and everyone was respectful and kind. Things were constantly being cleaned and reset and everyone really seemed to want to make things perfect for us. Our guests commented how nice and organized things were.

The space itself is beautiful and requires little additional decorating. We loved the lawn for the ceremony and were equally impressed with the backup plan for rain. We liked that there was a separate spaces for the cocktail hour and reception. Additionally, lots of beautiful locations throughout the grounds for pictures. Everyone raved about the venue and how beautiful everything was.

Additionally, the entire bridal party stayed on the grounds at the Wedmore Place which made things so easy and convenient. The hotel is beautiful and the staff were very accommodating. Each room is unique and the bride and groom suite made the perfect location for the bridal party to get ready in. It was nice to have everyone there together and walk back after the event.

We highly recommend the winery for your special day. Everything was perfect and we are grateful for the staff for helping it all come together especially Kari Scruggs!

The winery offers a beautiful site for the ceremony, rehearsal dinner, bride and groom's dressing rooms, cocktail and reception rooms. The winery itself provided the rustic atmosphere we were seeking -- European tapestries, exposed wood beams, masonry fireplaces, etc. Kari (events coordinator) and the Williamsburg Winery staff were always professional and wonderfully accommodating! Kari's experience was very valuable in helping us select the menu, wines, linens, etc. The day of the reception, the wait staff were very courteous and went out of their way to serve our needs.

My husband and I could not be happier with the venue, the staff, and the on-site hotel, Wedmore Place.

The venue’s pricing structure is straightforward, with no hidden charges and the venue fee included candles, string globe lights, tables, chairs, china, drinkware and our choice of linen colors. The food and beverage options and cost will vary based on the couple’s taste and budget - the venue will work with you to get it right. We were able to choose add-ons to make our day special and unique, including a wine tasting for our guests to enjoy during the cocktail hour. As an added bonus, the Winery offers a military discount on the space rental fee.

Kari, the Winery’s event coordinator, was absolutely fantastic from the day we met her through our Wedding day. She worked with us to make a custom wedding weekend that was truly us! As our wedding day was approaching, she was extremely accommodating and reassuring… we knew that our big day was in the best hands possible!

The Manager on Duty for the rehearsal dinner and wedding day, Chase, was just as amazing, tending to our every need and making sure our last-minute requests were completed with ease. The entire day of staff was extremely welcoming and gracious, they made us feel like the king and queen of the castle and then some!

The onsite hotel, Wedmore Place, offered extremely comfortable, elegant, and convenient overnight accommodations for our wedding party and closest family. The hotel staff went above and beyond to work with us in attending to our guests’ needs.

All in all, the Williamsburg Winery is a fantastic venue in and of itself, and the staff there make it a perfect place for the biggest day of your life! We can’t recommend it enough.

The Williamsburg Winery was amazing, they did a fantastic job, above and beyond our expectations, highly recommend. We had the bridal shower, rehearsal, rehearsal brunch at the Gabriel Archer Tavern, and most guests stayed on site at the Wedmore Place making my daughter and son-in-laws wedding weekend spectacular. A true fairy tale wedding. Every employee on site was pleasant and tended to anything anyone needed with the upmost professionalism.

Our wedding at the Williamsburg Winery was absolutely perfect. Kari was phenomenal at helping us organize a wonderful event, and the location itself can't be beat. Wessex Hall barely requires any decorating due to its natural rustic beauty, and the Winery has numerous decor items you can borrow as well. This is not the cheapest venue, but you get what you pay for. Everything from food to drink to favors to linens was expertly and professionally handled with no hiccups. Even the event staff were wonderful - one waiter in particular helped fill plates for older family members and then joined in the dancing! Truly a wonderful experience!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
