    Highly recommend!

    Big Spring Farm was the venue of our dreams! There are so many gorgeous locations here that everywhere you turn feels like the perfect spot. We had toured numerous venues in the area but immediately knew after our tour with BSF that we were going to book it for our wedding. The staff is so incredibly accommodating and friendly and remained that way throughout the entire year and a half long planning process. The owner, Buddy, met personally with us for our tour and our final walkthrough which goes a long way to see how passionate he is about the venue and personally connecting with the clients.

    Best Vendor!!

    Big Spring Farm was the perfect venue for our wedding and the staff went above and beyond. Buddy, Emma, and Kaila checked in often, let us walk-through multiple times, and responded super fast to all of our questions. Buddy was there on the day of the event to help my husband setup and put everything in place. They are such an awesome family and are truly spectacular. Could not have been happier!!

    Big Spring Farm's reply:

    We are so glad you had a wonderful time! It was truly our pleasure, Darby!! Please come back and see us!!

    THE Wedding Venue in Lexington, VA

    Big Spring Farm has it all - stunning scenery, high quality lighting and event furnishings and a wonderful staff. Every single detail of this venue has been carefully planned and thought out. Buddy and his team are true professionals and have the experience planning and executing events that will allow each couple to be worry free about their big day. We received so many compliments of how beautiful the setting and venue was for our wedding day from our guests. Wedding packages include lighting, tables, chairs (for both ceremony and reception), bars and other accessories to help save on rental costs. We also added the bridal suite to our package which was a great choice. We highly recommend Big Spring Farm for your wedding or special event!

    Big Spring Farm's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind review Katie! We absolutely loved getting to host you and your family for this special day. The way you had your reception set up is one we will cherish and always remember!! Blessings to you and Jacob in your marriage!

    A dream come true!

    Big Spring Farm was an absolute dream during our June 2022 wedding. We toured it in March of 2020 and knew right away that it would be the perfect place to get married. Buddy and Jill have a beautiful venue that is well maintained. Kaila was a huge help during the wedding process. All our guests were stunned at how beautiful the venue was and it will always hold very special memories for us! We really loved the peninsula for the ceremony, and the mountain views for the photos. The barn was just the right mix of rustic and modern, and it was so helpful that they include chairs and tables! (photos courtesy of Tori Parker Photos/ Victoria Holbert Visuals)

    Big Spring Farm's reply:

    Thank you Rachel for leaving us a review! We loved getting to host you and Mike for such a special day. Your wedding was a dream and we can't wait to see more photos so we can keep reliving the perfect day! Blessings to you both in marriage!!

    Team had empathy in our time of need

    When my daughter's husband called off the wedding, I was stuck with the sad task of handling all the aftermath. Buddy was kind enough to not add insult to injury here. He did his best to "make it right" and we are satisfied with the outcome.

    Amazing venue!

    This venue is beautiful & so are the people who run it! Family owned - really gets the wedding business. Great communication throughout the whole process, our wedding day ran very smooth with their on-site staff, who are very friendly! Very professional, yet fun staff. Accommodates with you on any special requests, within reason. It's also right outside the cutest little town - Downtown Lexington

    Secluded, Peaceful, Picturesque

    This wedding venue is the whole package and more. The owners, Buddy and Jill, are so kind and helpful. We planned most our wedding ourselves and had a day-of coordinator (who was also amazing! - Em Eliz Events), so I had a million questions along the way. Their administrator, Kaila, was always prompt and thorough responding to my every concern. Buddy completed our walkthrough a month before the big day and put all my nerves at ease with his guidance and attention to detail. On our wedding morning, their team shuttled all of our cars to the parking lot and had their golf cart pick up every elderly guest at their cars. Their team was professional and it was all a well-oiled machine. We didn't have to worry about a thing. It's easy to find, minutes from the cute little town of Lexington, and near plenty of hotels/cabins. It is truly the most perfect wedding venue.

    Big Spring Farm's reply:

    Katie! You're so kind. Thanks for your gracious review. We loved hosting you and your families at the farm for your beautiful wedding! Congrats to you and Austin!! Come see us again soon.

    Dream come true

    What words can I use to capture the dream that is Big Spring Farm? We visited just one venue and fell in love with it. When our guests asked why we picked Lexington, we told them to wait until they saw Big Spring Farm, and during the wedding they told me they understood. If you are looking for a natural oasis encircled by mountains and that includes a gorgeous barn that is the perfect balance of rustic and elegant, a beautiful large body of water, delicate willow trees, a fire pit, and acres and acres of lush green beauty-- don't look any further. Buddy and his team also provide for rent a GORGEOUS house on site for the bridal suite, as well as a breathtaking Airbnb they own 2 mins from the Farm-- I mean, it's the WHOLE package and it made my wedding the perfect day. Buddy and his team are kind, generous, flexible, and extremely communicative. They made us feel like family. We had a fusion Bangladeshi-Western wedding and he went out of his way to accommodate special arrangements to make the day our own. I will never forget that. Big Spring Farm is what dreams are made of, and Buddy and his team are the kindest, warmest, most wonderful team you could ask for. Trust me-- snag this gem up!!!

    Big Spring Farm's reply:

    Shayma I'm speechless, thank you for your kind words! It was such an honor for us to host your wedding and we're thankful you chose Big Spring Farm. Getting to work with such wonderful couples is what motivates us to keep going! Thanks again for having your wedding at the farm.

    Stop scrolling, you MUST go visit and book Big Spring Farm ASAP.

    Of all the decisions that we had to make while planning our wedding, booking Big Spring Farm was probably the easiest and best decision we made. We visited quite a few venues in Central Virginia, all were of course beautiful, but Big Spring Farm was different. It was magical. There was a certain feeling we got the moment we drove down the hydrangea-lined drive and then stepped foot on the ground. We were greeted by Buddy who is quite possibly the warmest, friendliest, most helpful, professional, and easy-going venue owner (and vendor) of all time. Buddy and his team are so helpful and accomodating. They answered all of our many questions with a smile. They were fun to work with. They were professional. Every time we visited the farm after booking for walkthroughs with planners, we got that special feeling. The farm itself is simply stunning. Most beautiful, magical place. A little slice of heaven. We booked the golf cart and bridal suite in addition and were so glad we did. The bridal suite is beautiful, spacious, comfortable, and convenient. The golf cart was incredibly helpful carting bridesmaids and stuff to the barn pre-ceremony and reception as well as being able to use it while taking photos later on. We held our ceremony on the peninsula, cocktail hour in front of the barn by the spring, and then our dinner and dancing were held under a tent. The entire day was beautiful, fun, and happy. I can't emphasize enough how wonderful everyone on the BSF team is. Do not hesitate to book this venue. It's incredibly special and the best investment.

    Big Spring Farm's reply:

    Caroline, thank you for the kind review! We have the best couples and are delighted to hear your experience was everything you wished for on your wedding day! Come and visit us anytime to relive that magical feeling. Blessings to you and Conor!!

    The most stunning wedding venue

    I absolutely loved Big Spring Farm! Buddy and Kaila were so helpful during a time of uncertainty due to covid. They were flexible in allowing my makeup artist to arrive early for set up, and moved my whole ceremony set up on the day of my wedding due to rain. Everyone of my guests could not stop talking about how gorgeous this venue was. I would highly recommend Big Spring!

    Breathtaking, professional, and simply wonderful

    Big Spring Farm is an absolutely breathtaking venue. Every inch of it - from the barn and veranda to the peninsula and water to the bridal suite - is picture perfect. The beauty of it all is what initially drew my husband and I to it, but the kindness, thoughtfulness, and dedication of Buddy, Jill, and Kaila is what made our wedding day so incredible. They were all so, so helpful and responsive - both in normal wedding times and (even more importantly) when COVID hit. It was evident from the beginning that they truly care about their clients and ensuring that their weddings are exactly what they envision. We didn't have a single worry on our wedding day because of what a wonderful place Big Spring is to celebrate!

    DREAM Wedding Venue

    My husband and I immediately fell in love with this place the second we set foot on the property. We always knew we wanted to get married in a beautiful, rustic setting and this was everything we had ever wanted! Buddy (the venue owner) was incredibly professional and patient with us when it came to helping us lay out the plan for our big day. At times, our wedding was a bit of a logistical nightmare but Buddy and his team handled every bump in the road with grace and ease! I cannot recommend this venue and its team enough!

    Big Spring Farm's reply:

    Hi Megan,

    It was a pleasure getting to host you and your family for such a big day! We look forward to working with you again in the future and hope you come back to see us!!

    Blessings on your marriage,

    Picturesque Barn & Mountain Backdrop

    Mary Margaret and Buddy were so easy, accommodating and just plain amazing to work with.

    Buddy & his wife Jill started as wedding photographers and you can tell with all the exquisite detail that they've thought about their venue as a masterpiece to be pictured.
    The bridal suite is charming and SO COZY! I honestly felt like I was getting ready in my house (that had been renovated and more upscale haha!). It had that warm feeling that made you completely comfortable.

    We were fortunate enough to have great weather so we could get married on the peninsula under the weeping willows and a barn reception. Everything was amazing and I can't imagine getting married anywhere else.

    Your wedding was a dream Alissa! Thank you so much for choosing Big Spring, it was a joy having your wedding at the farm:)

    Big Spring is an absolutely amazing venue! Buddy and Jill were super helpful and communicative and went out of their way to make our day special and run smoothly. The venue is gorgeous, even with rain like on our day. And a climatised barn is a plus in the summer heat. The location is A+, close to major roads for out of town guests and very easy to find. We loved the beautiful setting in the mountains and were just thrilled with everything about Big Spring! I highly recommend it to anyone who wants an classy, elegant outdoor or rustic wedding.

    We love Big Spring! My husband and I got married here in October and we couldn't have picked a more beautiful venue! We splurged a little on our venue, but it was definitely worth every penny! Buddy was very easy to work with and the staff at Big Spring was great! We received so many compliments and couldn't be happier!

    My husband and I were married at Big Spring Farm in June and it was absolutely perfect. We loved that the ceremony and reception site are in the same location so no one has to drive and worry about getting lost :) Buddy was so helpful and let my husband and I come multiple times to check out the venue over the course of our engagement season, and was really timely and helpful with email responses and answering the millions of questions we had. The actually wedding day was completely stress-free. Buddy and his team set up all the chairs, the arbor, and other various decorative items at the ceremony site. They even set up a little bonfire outside near the spring and moved all the chairs into the barn for dinner. Everyone was so helpful and our guests couldn't stop raving about how beautiful the location is. We had the wedding of our dreams all thanks to Big Spring Events!!

    Our wedding day was everything we could have ever wanted and that was largely in part due to the beautiful Big Spring Farm! Our wedding day was windy and wonderful. Thanks to the staff of Big Spring Farms, they did everything possible to not let 20 MPH winds dampen our day. Our day was perfect, from the ceremony, to the reception, and everything in between.

    There is not ONE thing I can say about this venue that would be negative. Buddy and his wife Jill are the most incredible owners who go above and beyond and out of their way to make your day perfect. The venue itself is gorgeous and well maintained, and they always have something up their sleeve to make it even better. This is the only venue I needed to see before I made my decision and not one time did I regret it. I would highly recommend this venue for anyone looking to have a beautiful outdoor venue!!!
