Claire T. Sent on 12/31/2023A Timeless, Thoughtful, and Dreamy Backdrop
The Berry Hill Resort is a gorgeous historic gem seated in the foothills of South Boston, Virginia. Having grown up half an hour from South Boston, I had always heard about Berry Hill, but never visited. While hunting for wedding venues, my now husband and I visited several sites. Berry Hill was our last visit because it was abundantly clear it was the perfect backdrop for the start of our marriage.
Aside from the absolutely stunning grounds, architecture, and timeless classic aesthetic of the period in which it was first built, the staff at Berry Hill are phenomenal. They truly care about making your experience everything you’ve hoped for, plus some! Everyone we came in contact with at Berry Hill was so friendly and attentive, and made sure no stone went unturned. Speaking personally, I was the most relaxed bride this world has probably ever seen, because I was confident that the staff of Berry Hill were going to execute everything perfectly. The entire day went off without a hitch, and it genuinely was that best day of our lives.
Berry Hill is the perfect all-inclusive venue. The planning stage was seamless, with the help of an on-site wedding coordinator. We came in for a dinner tasting in advance - the salmon is to die for! We had a rehearsal dinner at Berry Hill the night before, which was also very good, and all of our wedding party spent the night at the resort the night before as well. The attached hotel makes for the utmost convenience for guests, and made us feel relieved knowing they could dance and drink all night and get to their beds safely. Most of our guests stayed the night after the wedding.
The morning of the wedding, breakfast was delivered to my bridesmaids and I in one of the suites where we were getting ready. We had an assortment of fruits and breakfast pastries, coffee, champagne, and orange juice! The groomsmen got ready together in a mansionette separate from the main mansion building so my husband and I wouldn’t risk seeing each other!
Our small and intimate ceremony was in the Orangerie, and was short and sweet. We then had a cocktail hour in the mansion library while we and the wedding party went outside on the grounds for photos! The reception was in the grand ballroom, and we had a blast with the live band! Having Darby’s Tavern located right across a green area from the ballroom was also perfect, as some of our guests went over there to keep the party going after the reception winded down. The next morning, my husband and I enjoyed an amazing brunch at the Mansion Restaurant before leaving.
When we look back on our wedding day, there is no doubt that we chose the perfect venue for us. I highly recommend Berry Hill Resort!!! -

The rehearsal dinner for any wedding is the "kickoff' and the success of that event most definitely sets the tone for the special day. The rehearsal dinner hosted at Berry Hill Resort was pure perfection for the wedding kickoff of our son. Words that best describes our experience include Professional, Dedicated, Aim To Please, Spirit to Serve, Doing Whatever it Takes, Beautiful, Delicious Food, Helpful Staff, Attention to Details, Perfect Execution, Beautiful and Fun. What more can you ask for! Stephanie and her team were a dream to work with. -

An elegant and timeless venue
We had the wedding of our dreams at Berry Hill in May 2023. Stephanie could not have been a better wedding coordinator. She was very responsive and was committed to making sure we got exactly what we wanted. We had our rehearsal dinner in the Jefferson Grove, which was beautifully lit at night. My husband was adamant about having a Mexican themed rehearsal dinner and although BH typically doesn’t offer Mexican cuisine they made his wish come true and they nailed the tacos and queso. On our wedding day, it rained all day and we bounced around having the wedding under a tent we rented but as the ceremony was about to begin, the sun poked out and we were able to have the ceremony on the front steps of the Mansion. Stephanie and the BH staff were flexible with making a game time decision due to the weather as well.
We picked BH for its beauty, classic elegance, and we loved that the hotel was within walking distance from the venue. Our guests that stayed appreciated it too and so many commented on how stunning BH is. We would choose Berry Hill again a million times!! -

Bride/Loyal customer
My wedding at Berry Hill Resort was absolutely magical. I could not have asked for a better place to get married. The views and photo opportunities are unmatched. We had excellent service for our wedding and also every time we attend Berry Hill, whether we visit the Library Bar or Darby's Tavern, everything is always top notch. The hotel and amenities are beautiful and our guests really enjoyed having a "weekend away". I would highly recommend to anyone looking to get married in the Southern Virginia area. -

Perfect venue—
We cannot recommend Berry Hill enough as a wedding venue! Not only is the estate gorgeous and well-kept, but the mansion and venue are the definition of lush Southern charm. Steven, the estate’s wedding coordinator, is incredibly attentive and accommodating especially when we had to postpone several times due to the pandemic.
We have only excellent things to say about the venue and staff. Everything was just perfect—the mansion, ballroom, dinner, and reception were on point. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. -

Cassidy K. Sent on 03/04/2021Berry Hill was amazing! 10/10 recommend!
I had my wedding here this past weekend and though it was not what we had originally planned it was beautiful and Steven was amazing! Steven literally made the day go smoothly and I don’t think if we wouldn’t have had him there it wouldn’t have went as smoothly as it did. Steven kept us on time, made sure I had eaten, made sure that all of my vendors were in the places that they should be at the time of the ceremony. If I could give Berry Hill and Steven 1 million stars I would! The reception food was amazing and we were always made sure we had plenty of beverages. -

Great Overall
Steven and his team were so accomodating, we went from 75 guests to 32 guests day of due to COVID and everyone was so flexible. Food and beverages were good as well. Would definitely recommend renting out the mansion. Was great to have all the rooms for guests at the venue! -

Wonderful. Better than we had dreamed
Steven Ouilette was indefatigable and always fun to work with . As parents of the groom, we handled the rehearsal dinner on site and it was like the set of Max Reinhardt’s, “Midsummer Night’s Dream.” Steven and his crew worked all day and all night and were totally flexible regarding our hopes and ideas. The barbecue that night was delicious, the young chef is terrific.
We are hard to please New Yorkers and think the entire weekend cld not have been so beautiful and relaxed anywhere as it was at Berry Hill. What a wonderful way to celebrate and launch the new life of the young Mr and Mrs Cronkite . Thank you, Steven and Berry Hill. -

Debra S. Sent on 11/17/2019For the Perfect Storybook Wedding Venue choose Berry Hill Resort!
My son and daughter in law were married two weeks ago at Berry Hill Resort and it was absolutely wonderful! Both the Rehearsal Dinner and the Wedding and the Reception were just exquisite and awesome! The location, the facilities, the staff, the food, the grounds, the mansion, the banquet hall, the rooms and all were just perfect! The wedding was just about as close to perfect as could possibly be! Seray and the whole staff from the registration desk to the restaurant, to the waitstaff and banquet servers to the housekeeping staff and the Darby's tavern bartenders and staff were just simply amazing! They were all so friendly, helpful, kind, accommodating and professional. They treated everybody like they were the most special guest ever! Thank you to all for facilitating a wonderful wedding and to making us feel so special and so happy with our treatment! I most highly and whole heartedly recommend Berry Hill Resort for those wanting the perfect storybook wedding venue!!! -

The Berry Hill events staff were so helpful and accommodating while planning our elopement. On the big day they were attentive to every little detail. Thank you Kara, Ky, and Seray! We had a wonderful and unique stay in the mansion and one of the mini mansions. Delicious food at Darby’s Tavern and refreshing drinks at the Parlour Bar too. If you are looking for a place to hold a special event or just looking for a weekend getaway, we highly recommend The Berry Hill Resort and Conference Center! -

My husband and I got married at Berry Hill May 18, 2019 with about 200 guests. I almost feel like this review won’t even do the venue and staff there justice because they were INCREDIBLE! From the second we started working with the wedding team there we were so impressed. Throughout the planning process they were always there when I needed them and made sure any detail I wanted included in the wedding or reception could be done, even if it seemed completely out of reach. We worked closely with Ky and Kara and can’t say enough positives about the two of them. They did not make it feel like it was a business at all, more like friends planning a wedding together. My husband wasn’t able attend meetings because he serves in the Marines, and they were so patient with us to be sure he could also be involved from a distance. The one thing that stood out was that every staff member on site at Berry Hill the day of our wedding knew everything there was to know about our wedding and what we wanted. They made it feel like they were working for us that day, not Berry Hill. They were completely at our service and went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met and more. Our wedding day was so hot, but the staff there did everything they possibly could to keep us and the guests cool throughought the ceremony and reception. We changed things about the ceremony on the spot and it went seamlessly because of how hard they worked.
All of our guests were blown away by the beauty of Berry Hill as our wedding venue and still talk about it every time we see them. Every detail of the interior and exterior has Virginia’s southern charm and is so elegant. The venue was perfect for us because my husband’s family came from out of town, so everyone spent the entire weekend together. My family also stayed there, even though we are only 30 minutes away because once you are there you don’t have to leave! I don’t think there were any amenities that our wedding party didn’t use. We ate at Darby’s Tavern repeatedly because it is delicious, used the pool, basketball court, tennis courts, pool table, and enjoyed each other’s company outside in the courtyard after the wedding for hours! Also, my dog got to come to the wedding, and because he is a Great Dane, most places would have turned him away. Out of all the venues we considered, Berry Hill was the one that stood out to us the most. With other venues we found that when you booked, most of the time it was an empty space and you had to rent tables, chairs, linens, etc., but it is all included. Not only that, but you have a complete team working for you, which is priceless. We could not have had a better experience at Berry Hill and would highly recommend it to anyone planning a wedding, large or small. -

Berry Hill Wedding
My experience with Berry Hill was absolutely amazing. I reached out to Berry Hill right before they changed ownership. As a bride with 6 months to plan a wedding, I was so worried it would be nothing but extra stress. Kara was absolutely amazing to work with! She was so quick to answer any questions I had and helped with anything I asked of her. On the days leading up to the wedding, both Kara and Ky helped us so much. We had last minute requests that they were so happy to accommodate. Our wedding was beautiful and I'm so happy I went with Berry Hill. -
