Garrett S. Sent on 10/11/2023This is what dreams are made of. Simply the best.
I don't think mere words can capture the quality, beauty, and complete ambiance of peace that Mount Fair Vineyard was able to capture for our wedding.
What we received from Mount Fair Vineyard was, first off, the most endearing, engaging, kind, enthusiastic and supportive point of contact in Elaine that we could have imagined (scratch that, better than anyone we could have imagined). She was on top of every aspect of the process, and just a true pleasure to work with. Secondly, the owner, John, took us on our tour himself. He was kind, humble, easy-going and good natured. So much so that, after we decided the same day of our tour on booking the venue, he drove back to the venue to meet us with two bottles of wine, two jars of homemade honey from their apiary and two hardcover coffee table books about Mount Fair as a thank you. Remember, this is just the beginning of our booking process. When we had our wedding walk through and the wedding weekend itself, we were introduced to Mike, the property manager, who was a phenomenal onsite contact to have throughout the weekend. Mike was engaged, helpful and, in true Mount Fair fashion, on top of every aspect of preparing the property for the wedding. The morning of my wedding, I got to spend some time with Mike and he showed me around the property. That’s a guy you’d want to have a beer with for sure.
On top of all of this, when we booked the venue, we got it for the ENTIRE weekend. This meant setup could begin much earlier and it allowed the entire planning process onsite to be so much less stressful. No other weddings to be worried about. No other people to be worried about. An important point to call out about Mount Fair Vineyard is the simplified logistical experience that their property empowers. There’s a main house for the bride’s family to stay along with a small cottage on the other side of the property for the married couple the night of (or any other use). They have both an indoor and outdoor riding arena that can be transformed for any ideas you may have, a beautiful garden with a mini-greenhouse in the middle (we used this for cocktail hour and it was a HUGE hit), a log-cabin-style winery (which we used for our rehearsal dinner), and endless fields of beautiful grass overlooking the mountains that can be used for parking, tent setup, ceremony locations, etc. It’s an almost overwhelming amount of space that essentially serves as a blank, beautiful canvas on which to build your dream wedding. And I can’t stress enough how convenient it is to have a wedding venue where the entire bridal party can all get ready onsite (with the bride far away from the groom if you want), where the ceremony can take place, where attendees can walk 1min to the cocktail hour and then another 30 seconds to the reception, and where busses can easily drop off and park onsite, out of site.
I hit the character limit for this review so I had to cut a lot out. Read the full review on Google or WeddingWire, but I truly cannot express how incredible this venue is. They foster a culture of love, nature and beauty here. And you can tell they’re in it for the right reasons. There’s endless space, expansive mountain views, beautiful nighttime skies with no light pollution to corrupt your view of the stars. You just feel at peace here. I can definitively say that my wife and I will be returning to stay (when there aren’t weddings of course) just to try and re-live it again 😊
Thank you to Elaine, John, Mike and the entire Mount Fair Vineyard team for making the biggest weekend of our lives the best weekend of our lives.Mount Fair Vineyard's reply:
Speechless. Thank you Sarah and Garrett for the kindest words and the sincerest review we have received! It was more than a pleasure working with you both. Loved how hands on both of you always were and how easily you both worked together in creating such a beautiful and memorable wedding day! In the words of Natalie Cole's song, "This will be, an everlasting love"!

Mount Fair Vineyard was a perfect location for our wedding weekend! We loved having the property for the whole weekend including lodging for us and our bridesmaids. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting and beautiful fall colors as the backdrop for where we said "I do." Elaine was fantastic in helping us coordinate, getting ideas for vendors and answering all of our questions! We can't thank Mount Fair and Elaine enough for making our day absolutely perfect! -

Dream Venue
We knew about Mount Fair through our riding community and then found them on wedding wire and was so excited to see the space and little did we know we would be married there! This venue is absolutely beautiful from the views and the maintenance of the grounds with good infrastructure throughout the property you can be creative with the space and do whatever you want! The Mount Fair team was incredible to work throughout the whole planning. We had the best weekend and Mount Fair made that possible.Mount Fair Vineyard's reply:
Thanks Jeanette and Lane! It was a pleasure watching your wedding vision come to fruition and it was the most beautiful day for the two of you and thank you so much for letting us share your photos of your magnificent wedding on our social media! All the best as you both move forward in your lives together. Elaine Ricca -

My wife and I knew we wanted to have our wedding in Virginia for a long time, and Mount Fair Vineyard is the embodiment of all the reasons we love the state. This wedding venue abounds in natural beauty, surrounded by rolling hills and picturesque pastures. The greenhouse and patio were perfect for our cocktail hour, and the garden was immaculately groomed. We chose to have our wedding in October to take advantage of the spectacular fall colors and temperate climate, and our event turned out even better than we had hoped.
