    September 2021 wedding - Luray Caverns and the Inn & Barn at Shawnee Estates

    We reserved the Inn at Shawnee Estates for our daughter's fiance's family (16 people) since we booked their wedding in Luray Caverns and reception at the Shawnee Estates' Barn. The inn is beautiful decorated, comfortable, and very clean. Perfect for wedding guests, family reunions, ... The barn is perfect for a reception! Our Venue Director, Katherine Spain, was terrific to work with! She listened to what we had in mind, and offered ideas and suggestions. She and her team worked their magic from organizing the wedding itself, to decorating the Barn, and making sure the reception was memorable! Everything was so very beautiful! Every guest commented how lovely this venue was!

    Shawnee Farms Estate's reply:

    Rose,

    Thank you for the marvelous review! It was such a pleasure to be a part of Laurel & Lance's special day! It was so sweet to see how the couple blossomed throughout the evening as excited newlyweds. The festivities were so dreamy and effortless throughout the whole day & it was so much fun for us and our staff to create a look that matched their personalities so well. We are so happy that you and your family enjoyed staying in the Farmhouse over the wedding weekend.

    We would love to see you all return for another event in the future or just to come stay with us again at the Airbnb.
    Thank you again and we are glad we could be a part of the experience! 😊

    Our Best Day

    We found Shawnee Farms Estate while looking for a wedding venue in the Shenandoah Valley. As we pulled up and saw the 360 views of mountains we knew we found a special place. The estate house was perfectly maintained with old fashioned luxury and the property offered so many diverse ceremony sites. Our wedding turned out to be our best day ever. Guests loved the scenery and charm from another time. The staff was so easy to work with from day 1 and did everything possible to make this day so special for us. We wish we could do it all over again.

    A Truly Magical Experience

    My husband and I can't stop telling everyone how amazing was our wedding, and how important was Shawnee Farms Estate & LCC Staff in the making of such an amazing wedding. Katherine Spain and Co definitely went above and beyond helping us to make our dreams come true, the caves are a truly magical place that needed no decoration to bring out it's true brilliance. We went for the full package, that included the cave ceremony, the barn for reception, and the Airbnb for the bridal party; and that was the best decision. Not only was the ceremony at the cave magical, but the whole weekend turned into an amazing celebration that all our friends and family couldn't stop talking about, thanks to the accommodation at the Shawnee Estate Farm and Luray Caverns. We would 100% recommended this place to make your perfect wedding dreams come true.

    Shawnee Farms Estate's reply:

    Thank you,

    Mini Wedding Ceremony and Weekend Getaway

    THIS PLACE IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!! everything from the location, the Estate/the Barn and the staff is exceptional! The event planner (Katherine) is the most helpful, trustworthy and bubbly person to work with . We had to make changes to the "location" of the ceremony last minute due to the rain and Katherine buckled up her staff and was ready to get to work. As the bride, my jaw dropped after I saw what they had done to the barn! it was magical! Even though we provided a lot of the decorations, Katherine and her staff added so many " little surprises" for the ceremony and the after party --- i literally cannot say enough about the Estate and the staff. Everyone I've talked to who stayed with us at the Estate and attended our ceremony will tell you that it was " PERFECT in every way" ! Thank you Katherine and Shawnee!!! You have met and exceeded any expectations I had for a small, mid-COVID, wedding ceremony!

    Shawnee Farms Estate's reply:

    Zerina,

    THANK YOU! It was absolutely wonderful to work with you & your family! From the beginning to the very end, my staff and I adored being around you all and had a blast setting up for the wedding!
    Even though the rain storms were looking scary the whole day prior to the ceremony, the sun came out at the perfect time that evening to help create a beautiful setting for such a special, heartwarming moment for you and Rob! You all were a delight to work with and I am honored that you chose our venue to share such an important day with us!

    Thank you from myself and our staff at Shawnee Farms Estate!

    Absolutely Incredible! Luray Caverns and Burner Barn Wedding

    My husband and I had our wedding ceremony in Luray Caverns and our reception in the outside porch at the Burner Barn. Our wedding was absolutely incredible and our guests continuously say what a great experience it was. The caverns are such a unique venue that resulted in incredible photos and the Burner Barn had such an inviting and fun atmosphere. Katherine Spain (the event manager) was so amazing. Her and the other staff, spoke with us frequently leading up to our wedding and made sure everything was perfect, from planning, to set up, to managing the wedding day events and all the way through to clean up. It was definitely worth walking down through the caverns in my wedding dress for such an incredible ceremony.
    It was also great that our Luray Cavern package included beautiful flowers from Vivians Flower Shop. https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Florist/Vivians-Flower-Shop
    I would definitely recommend Luray Caverns and the Burner Barn to anyone who wants to have a truly unique and beautiful wedding day.

    Shawnee Farms Estate's reply:

    Kristen & David,

I absolutely loved working with you all and it was honestly one of the most fun filled weddings I have worked here at the caverns (and it is all because of YOU guys)!

We are grateful & proud to say that we got to be apart of your amazing day & the start to your journey as a married couple!
    Thanks again & I hope things are fantastic with you and David!

    Luray Caverns Property

    I’ve used the Burner Barn at Luray Caverns for my sisters bridal shower, as well as my mom’s surprise birthday party. Both times, the events team has always been extremely easy to work with, professional, and helpful. As far as the venue, it’s always been clean and perfect for any type of get together. Whether you are using the outside patio space and admiring the gorgeous flowers and the view or the upstairs of the barn, it’s such a nice place for a get together.

    Shawnee Farms Estate's reply:

    Thank you, Stephanie!
    It was lovely to work with you for both special events at the Luray Caverns Burner Barn and we were honored to be a part of both of them! Thank you for sharing the fantastic photos of your events there & we all had a marvelous time!

    A Royal, Impeccable, Historic House For Classy Celebrations

    We hosted our Starr Johnson Investment Services 20 Year Anniversary Party at the Shawnee Farms House and had an unforgettable experience. The house was immaculately prepared creating tons of space for people to eat, drink, and mingle during our joyous occasion. Katherine Spain, the events manager, was quick to respond to all of our questions and helped us every step of the way. They did a wonderful job collaborating with Leah Pence, our event planner of Another Wild Hare, to make everything go as smoothly as possible. We even received thank you letters from some of our party guests who were delighted to celebrate with us at a scenic, secluded venue where you can really experience Southern Hospitality.

    Shawnee Farms Estate's reply:

    We had our wedding ceremony in the Caverns. They provided a candelabra, arch and chairs for the ceremony. The ceremony music came from the stalactite organ in the cavern. They were very nice to work with and responded quickly. The location is a beautiful and unique ceremony option.

    Tanya & Mike,

    Thank you for your excellent review of your experience of your wedding in Luray Caverns! We were honored to work with you and hope that all is well in your marriage!
