    Beautiful venue for a beautiful time

    This venue was amazing. Christa and her team were incredibly helpful and supportive and my wedding day turned out sublime. I would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for a cozy wedding that is full of whimsy and wonder.

    Best wedding venue ever!!

    Christa and the team were incredible - and the venue is the best thing we could have asked for for our wedding. Christa's organization and day of coordination helped the event go smoothly without any issues. Her attention to detail and knowledge about weddings were invaluable. She and her team are so kind and welcoming and we enjoyed every interaction with them. Additionally, the floral arrangements were so beautiful and exceeded all of our expectations! It was such a huge benefit to be able to get both the venue and florals from one place. I would not hesitate to recommend Christa and the venue one bit - Cedarmere is the best choice we could have made for our wedding and if we were to do it all over again I'd pick them every single time.

    Black Pepper Photography LOVES Cedarmere

    My name is Chayil, I am the owner of Black Pepper Photography and first off, let me clarify I am not a bride (yet) but a vendor!

    I’ve shot more than a few weddings at Cedarmere and every one ends up more perfect than the last. The property is beautiful, clean, well-kept and lovingly managed, and Christa is absolutely wonderful. Photos at Cedarmere always turn out so beautiful that one particular one I took at the property is actually my phone background!

    Overall cannot speak highly enough of Cedarmere, or of Christa. I love shooting weddings here and I look forward to continuing to work hand in hand with Cedarmere for years to come!

    Absolutely gorgeous venue!

    I am so glad my son and his wife chose to have their recent wedding at Cedarmere! The setting is quiet and has absolutely gorgeous views from every angle of the property. Having use of the venue the whole weekend was wonderful. It allowed us plenty of time to get to know the bride's family members who live out of state. The flowers Christa arranged were spectacularly beautiful. The wedding was everything we hoped for and more. Thanks to Christa and her lovely venue, it was truly a magical day and the fairytale wedding we were all hoping for!

    Christa is so sweet and has an incredible attention to detail!

    We booked Christa for our floral arrangements! We had a good idea of what we wanted our vibe to be, but we didn’t know a lot about flowers. Christa was able to fill in the gaps for us and make our wedding feel like it was out of a fairy tale! We also really appreciated her conscientious approach to sourcing flowers.

    She went out of her way to come visit the venue, asked questions about our culture so she could offer some great suggestions, and even created a unique bouquet/boutonniere for each individual of our wedding party.

    100% would book again if we were to do it all over again!

    The best wedding venue you could ask for!!!

    We had the most incredible experience at Cedarmere in the Blue Ridge. Tucked away in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this venue offers absolutely breathtaking views that made our wedding feel magical.

    From the very start, christa, the venue coordinator, went above and beyond to make our weekend perfect. She was so kind, thoughtful, and accommodating in every way. What made the space even more special was knowing that Krista personally grew the flowers used for our wedding—each arrangement was stunning and added such a personal touch.

    We stayed at Cedarmere from Friday through Sunday, and it truly felt like a dream getaway. On the morning of our wedding, Krista made us breakfast, and she did the same again on Sunday before we left. It was such a warm, thoughtful gesture and made us feel completely taken care of. Throughout the entire weekend, she provided anything we needed without hesitation.

    I cannot recommend Cedarmere enough. If you’re looking for a venue that combines gorgeous mountain views, a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, and an incredible coordinator who truly cares about your experience, this is the place. 10 out of 10—any couple who chooses christa and Cedarmere will have the best wedding imaginable.

    Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience!

    I recently visited Cedarmere farm for a family member’s pre-wedding celebration, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience. We stayed at the farm overnight as most of the family travelled from overseas. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by how beautiful the property is. It's clear the owner has impeccable taste, as every detail, from the landscaping to the interior spaces, is perfectly maintained.

    What really set Cedemere Farm apart, however, was the incredible hospitality of Christa and Bob. They went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Their warmth and attentiveness reach every guest who stayed – my baby even received a custom floral crown - we feel so special and truly cared for.

    As with any wedding, there were a few unexpected situations, but Christa was on hand every step of the way, ensuring we had everything we needed to deal with them seamlessly. We really appreciate her positive and warm demeanor.

    Cedarmere Farm is so much more than a stunning venue; it's a place where genuine care and attention to detail make all the difference. We highly recommend it for any special occasion!

    Serene and Picturesque

    Cedarmere is SO beautiful! There are many charming little spaces to explore, animals to greet, mountains, a lake, a barn, and sitting areas throughout to enjoy ALL the views. Christa was so kind and it’s clear she puts a tremendous amount of care and love into this property. It’s a perfect place to celebrate LOVE! 💐🪻🪷

    Cedarmere checks all the marks when it comes to countryside weddings

    Father of the bride here. My daughter planned her own wedding, and Cedarmere was the perfect canvas for her to bring that vision to life.

    Beautiful location? Check.
    Wonderful hosts? Check.
    Thoughtful amenities and seamless services? Check.
    Fish eagerly biting the lines of kids fishing off the dock? Check.

    That last part matters more than you might think!

    A Saturday wedding at Cedarmere isn’t just a single-day event — it’s a weekend experience. The venue encourages use of the property starting Friday, and my daughter and her husband took full advantage by hosting an afternoon of fun before the big day. Guests strolled the grounds, played frisbee and cornhole, relaxed with drinks in lawn chairs and on patios, paddleboarded on the pond, and yes — the kids, under adult supervision, caught bluegills and bass right from the dock. After the sunset, it was time for roasted marshmallows around the fire.

    Christa, Cedarmere’s co-owner and in-house florist, was exceptional throughout. She was helpful, accommodating, and a true artist. Her floral arrangements — especially the Ikebana-inspired tabletops — were beautiful.

    The venue also offers flexible use of the property, including a cabin, the first floor of the farmhouse, and even barn stalls (a lot cooler than that sounds!), depending on your needs. And when it came time to stock up for the rehearsal and reception, Christa’s floral walk-in cooler had more than enough room for cases of beer, wine, and soda.

    If it sounds like we were exceedingly pleased, it's because we were! A once in a lifetime milestone made all the more special by Cedarmere in the Blue Ridge.

    Perfect Wedding Venue!

    Christa was fantastic. We wanted a small wedding totally isolated in the mountains and that’s exactly what we found at Cedarmere in the Blue Ridge. Our friends and family loved being able to walk around, the kids loved the freedom to run around, and it felt like a bespoke experience because it was only the wedding party as far as we could see! It also felt special to have beautiful flowers grown on the property. In an era of commercialized weddings, I can’t imagine doing my wedding anywhere else. Thanks Christa!!

    10/10 would recommend Cedarmere for your wedding weekend!

    We hosted our wedding weekend at Cedarmere and we are over the moon with how everything turned out! We hosted both our welcome dinner and wedding ceremony/reception at the venue. Christa and her team helped make our wedding dreams a reality! This is the perfect venue if you’re looking for a place to wow your guests with the beauty of the Blue Ridge mountains, a relaxing place for kids to run around and family to catch up, and a venue that feels like a slice of home!

    A Floral Treasure of the Blue Ridge

    We can't thank Christa and her team enough for the stunning floral arrangements they created for our wedding! From our very first conversation, we were impressed by her attention to detail, creativity, and care she took in understanding our vision. She took the time to listen to our ideas and offered expert advice, helping us choose the perfect flowers to complement our color scheme and style. We really wanted flowers that reflected the local environment, and Cedarmere is able to deliver that because they grow such a diverse array of local flora and fauna on their farm. Their arrangements truly looked like an extension of our venue!

    On the big day, every bouquet, centerpiece, and floral installation exceeded our expectations. The flowers were absolutely breathtaking—elegant, fresh, and a tad quirky (as requests). Our guests were in awe of the arrangements, and we received so many compliments throughout the day!

    Not only did Cedarmere deliver on quality, but the personal touch was exceptional as well. Christa and her team were professional, reliable, and went above and beyond to ensure everything was set up beautifully. She set aside time in her personal trip to Vietnam to pick up a stunning selection of handmade lanterns that she hung for our reception. We felt completely at ease knowing we were in such good hands.

    If you're looking for a florist who truly understands the art of wedding florals, I highly recommend Cedarmere Farms. They made our day even more magical, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.

    Thank you again for being such an important part of our celebration!

    Beautiful Florals!

    I booked Cedarmere for my rehearsal dinner/welcome party and wedding flowers. The owner Christa was absolutely wonderful! Not only was she easy to work with and responsive, but she was also very helpful in helping me create my vision for both events. I wanted two very different aesthetics, and she was able to take my visions and make them come to life. She was able to suggest designs and styles that fit my vision but that I haven't thought of previously. She is extremely creative and can adjust her arrangements to a bride's tastes perfectly.

    I also love how she is focused on sustainability and using locally grown flowers without the use of harsh chemicals. She is an expert when it comes to which flowers can grow in her area during various seasons. Most of her flowers are grown on her property.

    While our wedding wasn't at her venue, we had the opportunity to visit Cedarmere, and it is absolutely beautiful! We definitely Cedarmere in the Blue Ridge to anyone who wants to get married in the Charlottesville area!

    Cedarmere is the best!!

    I booked Cedarmere for both my venue and flowers and everything exceeded my expectations! The owner Christa was very easy to work with and always super responsive. For the flowers, she executed my vision perfectly, even suggesting elements or designs I didn't even know I wanted. All of my guests were in total awe. I also love how focused she is on sustainability and using only local flowers (most of which were grown right on the property). Cedarmere as a venue is spectacular. A truly beautiful backdrop to get married. My husband and I are so glad we chose Cedarmere and had the opportunity work with Christa. We definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to get married in the Charlottesville area!

    Beautiful arrangements with locally grown flowers

    Christa and her team at Cedarmere were instrumental in making our wedding vision a reality. She was able to put words to our very vague ideas of what we wanted and then created arrangements that had meaning to us and added so much color to both our indoor and outdoor settings. The arch for our ceremony was an incredible work of art with many individual flowers and greenery placed individually by hand. Christa was very professional and easy to communicate with, offering so many creative options for the designs, and she was sensitive to decreasing our responsibilities in the weeks and days leading up to the wedding. We highly recommend Cedarmere if you are looking for high-quality floral services and a wonderful team of people.

    Fabulous Florist

    Christa grew, designed and created the gorgeous flowers for our daughter’s October wedding. Her process is very collaborative and flexible and she communicates in a timely and clear manner. She put an extensive amount of time and energy into her proposals and even more into the actual floral production for the wedding day. Her bouquets and arrangements were jaw-droppingly beautiful and were just what our daughter was envisioning and wanted. The florals on the ceremonial arch were nothing short of stunning and we had many comments from our guests who said the same. If you are lucky enough to have Cedarmere farms do your florals I’m confident they will be wonderful.

    Perfect Location

    Cedarmere is such a beautiful venue and a great place for a wedding. The sun sets over a panorama of mountains and the set-piece pond. The outdoor pavilion was the perfect size for the reception and fit the open-air feel. There are also more than enough accommodations for the wedding party to prepare.

    Christa and her team were super flexible and helpful in navigating through emergent issues, such as the possibility of rain. She was also the source of our beautiful flower arrangements; the best I have seen. We could tell that this is her passion.

    Choose Cedarmere for a venue best suited to small to medium weddings with an intimate feel, close to nature.

    Beautiful site and flowers

    We had our wedding at Cedarmere in October 2023. The setting was so beautiful with the leaves turning colors across the pretty mountain backdrop. Many of our guest raved about the scenery! The site also had several pretty photo ops. Christa and Jen were amazing to work with for our flowers. I showed them some pictures that I liked and they were able to create beautiful arrangements that made our wedding truly special. Christa was responsive and a big help with organizing the tent set-up. The only drawback is that it’s a little outside of the city so you’ll want to think about transportation for your guests. We found a great bus option that made sure everyone could have a great time.

    Wonderful Views, relaxed atmosphere, and exceptional experience!

    Cedarmere Farm was such an incredible venue! My sister got married at Cedarmere last Fall and we could not have had a better experience. Christa, the owner, was wonderful to work with. She was responsive, knowledgeable, flexible, and helped us solve any problems that arose quickly and creatively. We rented the venue for the whole weekend and it was so amazing to have a beautiful space for family to gather and relax before and after the wedding. We also hired Christa, who is also a flower farmer and floral designer, to do the wedding flowers. We were so impressed! The florals were gorgeous and also local and sustainably grown, which was really important to us. If you are looking for a hidden gem with gorgeous views of both mountains and water, a caring and experienced vendor, and the ability to rent a venue for the whole weekend - look no further! I highly recommend Cedarmere farm and Christa!

    Hidden Gem!

    Cedarmere is the perfect place for an intimate, outdoor wedding. The setting is stunning and romantic; all of our guests couldn’t stop talking about the incredible view. Christa was incredible to work with and was flexible, patient, knowledgeable, and so much fun. She truly went above and beyond to help make our whole wedding experience perfect.

    We also had Christa and Jen do our florals and they were absolutely stunning. From the initial consult and dream stage, to their virtual mock-ups of our arrangements, to seeing their final creations the day of, the whole process was amazing. They only use local flowers grown sustainably and without chemicals, which truly did make their flowers and arrangements more beautiful than anything we saw with other florists.

    Can’t recommend Cedarmere enough as both a wedding venue and for flowers. It far exceeded our expectations and was definitely one of the highlights of our wedding experience!
