Aa Sent on 04/23/2020Love working with Shelby
Through the construction and pandemic, Shelby has been so great to work with. She helped us during our walk through of the building (still under construction) to imagine everything, telling us ideas of where things go, what she thought and providing our floor plan already - SO EXCITED to continue to work with the Common House-Richmond and Shelby! -

April 2023 Wedding
My husband and I wanted a welcoming and unique wedding venue that was not a traditional ballroom and that had style/personality. We were feeling like giving up on wedding venue searching until we finally came across Common House in Richmond. From initial touring, to tastings, and the big day, Liz and the Common House team hit it out of the park. Their customer service is top notch and everyone we encountered throughout the wedding process was helpful and welcoming. A huge benefit of Common House is the beautiful interior spaces. We had rain so we used them thoroughly. The food and drink was incredible and we got many compliments from guests. Their wedding package allowed us to get so much from just one vendor point of contact (a big perk!). Thanks so much for a great day and one of our favorite new memories -

Worked with Liz Arline for over a year during the planning process and she was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout. We also loved all of the staff that we worked with during the tasting and the day of the ceremony and reception. The quality of the food, cake, bar service, and staff support exceeded our expectations and we got a lot of compliments from friends and family about the food especially. It's such a unique venue and near nice hotels which allow many guests to avoid worrying about additional transportation.
We also loved the photos we got around the venue. The library, the restaurant, courtyard, and rooftop all make for fantastic photos and the venue was so flexible with us using any of those spaces to take pictures.
My only regret with this venue is the size of our guest list. We ended up having 135 attendees and it felt REALLY tight. During the ceremony, the front row was about 2-3 feet from the altar so it was impossible to get any photos of us at the altar without getting guests in the pictures. My family was seated on the left side (behind bride) and they said they couldn't see my face at all because of how closely they were seated to the front left. Dinner was another tight scene and we had a few guests complain about how little space they had.
Definitely still a 5 star review overall. They will not disappoint on being accommodating and providing everything you need across food, alcohol, cake, and service. Thank you for an amazing day!! -

Common House Richmond exceeded our expectations. Liz and Elyze were both so incredibly helpful during the planning process and our tasting. Liz received so many emails from me and she was gracious and kind when answering my questions. Elyse was present during our tasting and helped us think through food and wine details for the day. She was honest about what would work best in the space. She was also present on the day of and was easily accessible but was also clearly busy working behind the scenes. The staff was a fun bunch that were on point the entire evening and always a step ahead of what we needed. The chefs were eager to try new things when we requested items that were off the menu. Their execution on the day-of was flawless. The venue has such great character, is fun and the amenities are modern. The flexibility of having the rooftop over the courtyard was so important for my day where the rain was on and off. The roof was quickly retracted when the sun came out, but was put back up when the rain started. The day after people could not stop talking about the service, food and the uniqueness of the space. I would not change a single thing about my experience and am so happy that we chose Common House to celebrate our big day. -

I can't say enough great things about having my wedding at Common House. Working with Liz Arline made this such a seamless experience. She was super responsive, helpful, comforting, and just a really awesome person. Her perspective and attitude is exactly what you need when planning a wedding. Our wedding weekend ended up being the weekend of Hurricane Ian and Liz came to me with plan A, B, C and D. Common House is great because there are options for any and all types of weather. No matter where you choose to have a ceremony or reception, your pictures will be stunning because of how beautiful the venue is. The food is also top notch. Loved being able to do a tasting beforehand. I received so many compliments on what we served for appetizers and dinner, as well as the wait staff. We went for the family style option and it was so fun. If you're looking for a unique, picturesque venue with delicious food and incredible service, Common House is your place! My husband and I loved our experience here. -

We chose Common House Richmond for our wedding because of its beautiful atmosphere, accommodating staff, and delicious food. The space is flexible, and the staff are willing to do what it takes to help you create your special day. We loved that we could have amazing canapes, served food, and our cake all made by the Common House staff. -

As a member of Common House in Charlottesville, I am big fan of the organization and an even bigger fan of the new Richmond space. Our expectations were met for our rehearsal dinner in the downstairs entertaining space and for our welcome party afterwards. It was the right size and close to all of our hotel blocks. The food was good (sometimes a bit foodie for me) and the service was excellent. They allowed me to move my rehearsal to the courtyard after our venue had a conflict and remade one of my mother in law’s recipes as a surprise for my husband.
