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!

We did our reception here. We had a great experience. We looked around at several venues and decided on Waters Edge because it was a great value, great food, and of course...amazing wine. You can rent out, the patio, event space or whole dining area. We had people come in and do set up (decoration stuff). It was great to have the food, drink and venue in one spot. I highly recommend Waters Edge Winery

We booked Mermaid Winery for our rehearsal dinner, and it was beautiful. We only had 15 guests, and they accommodated us perfectly. Zoe handled every detail wonderfully, and even let our guests order their meals that evening instead of ordering ahead. Our server was a wonderful host, who (unsurprisingly) knew the wine menu inside and out, making excellent suggestions to a number of people who don't typically drink wine. The food was delicious, although a few dishes arrived lukewarm, and the atmosphere was perfect. Everyone was extremely professional and helpful, and I had a wonderful time.

Diane was great to meet with! She and her husband were wonderful in trying to keep my boys entertained while going over the information. Very flexible in regards to scheduling as well. We can't wait to have our wedding there in the Fall!

We could not have chosen a better venue for our April 2022 wedding reception for 110 guests. It is truly a GEM! The venue itself is breathtaking and warm with tons of natural light, stunning chandeliers for the evening time, exposed brick, copper glass doors, outdoor area with seating and fairy lights, bar area and barrel room. The space was intimate and allowed for flexibility with how to utilize the barrel room, front bar area, large room, and outdoor area. The venue included use of kitchen, tables and mahogany chairs, and many other furniture and props. They also offer their own wine, table settings, and cleanup. The venue really brought together our vision! The location Smithfield winery is also extremely convenient- it is right next to the Smithfield Inn and down the street from the Smithfield Station. On the morning of the wedding, our vendors and family could walk back and forth between the Inn and the venue, and afterwards, we guests could get right back to their hotels. Smithfield itself is historical and charming, quiet, and right by the water. Natasha, the owner of the venue, went absolutely above and beyond to make our wedding so beautiful. She is professional, responsive, flexible, and down-to-earth. She welcomed my parents and extended family come visit the venue multiple times in the year leading up to the wedding. She LOVES what she does! Natasha is knowledgeable about the wedding industry/vendors and has a network of wedding vendors that she has worked with. She facilitated a walk-thru prior to the event and she worked extremely well with all our vendors. Without any hesitation, I would recommend this venue to my own family and friends- for weddings, parties, showers, or other events. We had NO complaints or regrets at all and would 100% choose this venue again!

We used the mermaid winery for our rehearsal dinner. The event staff was fantastic in answering all our questions. We ended up choosing a plated dinner. The chicken with chorizo sauce was amazing! My guests are still talking about it weeks after the weeding. I was actually worried that our actual wedding reception dinner wouldn't stand up to how amazing dinner was at the rehearsal. We had a large group for dinner so we booked the barrel room, it was just lovely.

The photos listed at the top of this vendor are from our special day and they bring so much joy to my heart! We cannot give enough thanks to Sylvia and the entire Bunker crew for the kindness and hospitality they showed us for our reception. They were incredibly accommodating, allowing us to decorate ahead of time and ensuring a timeline weeks in advance. The food was absolutely delicious and everyone kept raving about it. The bar tenders were incredible the entire night and ensured that everyone had a great time. I would absolutely get married here again if I could choose. It was the perfect balance of industrial, masculine and blank slate that you can put your personal touches to make any event special and personalized. Thank you again to the entire Bunker Brewpub staff for making our reception seamless, easy and one of the best nights! We can’t wait to come back and celebrate on our anniversary. Thank you!
