We had our dreamy wedding day about 3 weeks ago and we can’t stop thinking about our perfect day. My now husband and I first came to Trump Winery over 3 years ago to celebrate his birthday. At that time, the tasting room was in a different location across the mountain from where it now is, and we were sitting out on the Adirondack chairs taking in the view and saw in the distance a little brick building. We pulled out our phones and zoomed in on the map and discovered we were looking at the beautiful Chapel and discovered the wedding venues at the winery. That day we fantasized about getting married there one day. Fast forward 3 years later, we were engaged and KNEW we had to come back for a tour of the chapel and wedding venues. After being engaged for only a week, we met Beth for a tour of the Barn & Pavilion, Grand Hall, and Chapel and fell in love with every detail and immediately knew this is where we would be getting married. We had a few other tours booked for the day and quickly cancelled them after seeing how incredible Trump Winery was. Now that we have had our wedding day, I can’t say enough incredible things about this venue. We had our ceremony in the Chapel and it truly felt like our day was out of a fairytale story. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better setting to say “I do” in front of our closest friends and family. Cocktail hour took place on the terrace of the Grand Hall during sunset and then the reception took place in the Grand Cru ballroom. This truly is the dreamiest setting for a wedding and our wedding was absolutely more incredible than we could have ever imagined. We have attended many other weddings in Charlottesville and the surrounding areas and I truly believe this is the best venue and our guests couldn’t have agreed more.

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Trump Winery. The staff was very accommodating and kind. We had a chapel ceremony prior to our larger ceremony and it was the perfect intimate experience for our closest family and friends. Having the whole winery to ourselves was such a plus. It felt so exclusive and private. I highly recommend staying at Albermarle Estate for the wedding weekend. The entire experience was incredible!

Trump Winery in Charlottesville is, without a doubt, the perfect venue for a wedding. From the moment we arrived, everything about our experience was flawless. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of, making us feel completely at ease on our special day. Their professionalism and attention to detail were unmatched.

The property itself is breathtaking, but the chapel is what truly sets it apart. It’s a hidden gem—intimate, elegant, and absolutely stunning. The fresco ceiling is like nothing we’ve ever seen before, adding a unique and artistic touch that made our ceremony feel extraordinary. The expansive bay windows and the balcony allowed for incredible natural light and unforgettable photos, while the pews and altar provided a timeless, classic ambiance.

Our photographer, Aaron Watson Photography, was phenomenal. Despite challenging weather, he worked magic to capture images that perfectly documented the beauty and emotion of the day.

The all-inclusive wedding package we selected made planning so easy and stress-free. It covered everything we needed, from beautiful floral arrangements to the officiant, as well as hair and makeup that was done right in our cozy cabin. Staying at the Albemarle Estate elevated the entire experience. The estate is intimate and exclusive, with only about 11 rooms, giving us the feeling that we had the entire property to ourselves for our New Year’s Eve celebration. The cabin we stayed in was warm and inviting, and every meal in the fine dining room was exquisite.

What truly stood out to us was the incredible value. For under $10,000, our package included the venue, officiant, photographer, flowers, two nights in the cabin, our wedding dress and tuxedo, hair and makeup, and exceptional meals. Every element came together seamlessly to create an unforgettable experience.

We couldn’t imagine a more perfect place to celebrate our love. The uniqueness of the venue, the stunning grounds, and the outstanding service far exceeded anything we could have hoped for. Trump Winery truly offers a one-of-a-kind experience, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone planning their wedding. It was everything we dreamed of and more!

As a vendor, I travel to many venues all over the state. Trump Winery is absolutely one of my favorites to visit. The view is gorgeous, and everyone that I have met was very professional and kind. I’m always excited when I get the chance to come back here. You owe it to yourself to check this one out if you are looking for a venue!

Responsive and an incredibly beautiful destination for our wedding. The chapel is a true blessing and incredibly stunning. It is on the winery site and can be seen from the tasting room and estate. We had our rehearsal at the cidery and stayed in the estate. Everything was top notch and the winery tasting room we had reserved for our guests for a wonderful luncheon with wine, charcuterie, menu and cake. Each facet I was assigned a point person to coordinate with and all were a delight.

We were looking for a winery venue in Charlottesville for our wedding, and did a thorough search. Trump winery seemed to have the best amenities and conveniences. When we toured it, we could not imagine having it anywhere else. The chapel is stunning! The atmosphere is so green and beautiful for photos. We used the barn and pavilion for our reception as we had a smaller guest count of 75. Our experiences with the winery staff were excellent. They are timely and organized. They have really everything you need right there so there is less planning and things you have to bring in. We felt it was a great value for the price. All of our guests keep telling us how beautiful it was there. It was a quick trip from downtown Charlottesville where our out of town guests were staying. We would so highly recommend hosting a wedding at Trump Winery.

What a gorgeous venue! From starting our process a year ago with Patrick to ending with Beth, we never had a hiccup or issue at all. Working with their preferred vendors list eliminated various issues before they happened. We used the Grand Hall for the Ceremony and Grand Cru Ballroom for the Reception. Easy access for families and a GORGEOUS view of the property. Minimal decor needed due to the natural beauty. Worth every penny. Thank you from the Fowlers 10.15.2021

We could not have asked for a better venue than the Trump Winery! Everything about the experience was a class act and our guests were left speechless at both the view during the ceremony, and the Grand Hall during the reception.

Beth, and her team had a very big challenge on their hands as our wedding was the same day as the opening of their new tasting room. But she over delivered to have patrons off the property prior to our guests arriving offering us the private feel we were hoping for when selecting a location. Very well done.

Overall, if we could go through the process again of picking a location, we would still pick Trump Winery. It lived up the the expectations of a Trump property, and the 5 star experience was there.

Finally, my recommendation for future couples considering this property would be to have wedding party stay at the Albermarle Estate if in your budget. Aside from being a beautiful hotel, it makes for a much easier day of experience. The bridal party had raving reviews of the room and service from the staff Friday into Saturday and we stayed as a couple Saturday night.

Again, just a wonderful experience. Thank you to Beth and the entire Trump team!

My fiancé and I visited several venues: Morais Vineyards & Winery, Rock Hill Plantation House, The Market at Grelen, The Inn at Willow Grove, Stevenson Ridge, and Potomac Point Winery. The issue was we were at the height of COVID and at the time, the governors edict declared only 10 could gather. We didn't want to gamble that the limit would lift at the time of our wedding so we chose an elopement package at Albemarle Estate at Trump Winery. We could only invite 10 guests so that was perfect. If needed, we could simply invite 8 guests to adhere to the governor's guidelines.

I was drawn to chapel which is gorgeous. I've always wanted to get married in a church. The ceiling is painted, there were candles, towering windows, etc. It was just beautiful. I also liked that the package came with business partners so I didn't have to hunt down a reasonably priced florist or baker. They have relationships with a number of officiants with different religious and non-religious backgrounds. I even had a choice of live music.

The wedding planner introduced me to everyone via email and I told them what kind of flowers I wanted, what type of frosting I wanted, which script the officiant should read off of, and which songs the harpist should play. It was easy and stress free.

My guests enjoyed the winery and had lunch there. We checked in at the estate and settled in. We took professional pictures for an hour and then we all drove to the chapel. Beth, the wedding planner, made sure to shepherd my guests to the chapel so I didn't have to. The entire thing went by so fast but there were no errors and it was beautiful.

If you go with the elopement package, all of your guests must spend the night (not Friday or Saturday). The rooms at Albemarle Estate are impressive so my guests loved them. Dinner is a la carte and I ordered wine for the party ahead of time. The chef created amazing food and the service was outstanding. Our waiter, Ethan, did an excellent job.

My small wedding party was amazing and I don't regret not having a bigger wedding. The price was well worth this experience and I got to shower luxury on those closest to me. I would highly recommend the elopement package. The grounds alone are lovely but the chapel and estate made my wedding so very special. A perfect day.

We could not have asked for a more beautiful wedding location with the gorgeous views and amazing venue options. We were able to have separate locations for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception making each part of the day unique. The chapel is like a quaint fairy tale chapel, the barn with the patio opening to the lake was ideal for cocktail hour, and the pavilion was perfect for the reception with a built in bar and open layout with a great dance floor! A special thank you to event coordinator, Beth, who went above and beyond all day.
