Nicole Sent on 02/23/2022DREAM wedding venue
I cannot say enough great things about the Historic Post Office. From day one, they provided direct and concise communication which made comparing venues very easy and is one of the many things that drew us there. The day-of-coordination service is one of the most helpful a la carte items they offer. Our DOC was able to guide us to vendors within our price range, answer any and all questions we had, and really helped us shape our day through her questions and experience. We were one of the countless couples who had to postpone their big celebration due to the pandemic but we were fortunate enough to be able to use the HPO for our elopement in 2021 and celebration in 2022. Having the DOC as a point of contact at both events was so special and she went above and beyond to ensure that our elopement was still a sweet and memorable day. The bridal suite and grooms lounge access kept the day stress free and running on time, there was plenty of space for the wedding party to get ready comfortably, and also provide beautiful backdrops for getting ready photography and portraits. It is so easy to customize your event through add-ons like lighting, the venue itself is a perfect canvas for any mood/vibe/theme imaginable, and the HPO team has the experience to ensure a smooth wedding day. I would recommend the HPO and their coordination services to any and everyone, it is, in my opinion, the perfect venue. -

10/10 wedding venue!
Having our wedding at the HPO was the best decision we could have made! Our experience from start to finish was great. Our coordinator Ellie made sure we were fully prepared while planning and throughout the day and recommend some vendors we decided to use. The day of was no stress thanks to the staff for setting everything up and transitioning from ceremony to reception so smoothly. The venue itself is beautiful and timeless, and we loved the morning of getting ready suites. Cannot recommend the HPO enough!!The Historic Post Office's reply:
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such a wonderful experience at HPO. It means so much to our team to know that your planning process and wedding day felt smooth and stress-free.
Ellie will be especially happy to hear your shoutout—she truly cares about making sure every couple feels prepared and supported throughout the process. We’re also so glad you loved the getting-ready suites and the timeless feel of the venue!
Thank you for trusting us with such an important day. It was truly an honor to be part of your wedding, and we wish you both a lifetime of happiness! 💕 -

Susie Sent on 01/13/2026HPO is a 10 out of 10
We did a group tour about 10 months before the wedding date. My daugher was a bit stressed out as time was of the essense. Ellie, one of the coordinators, led the tour and after speaking directly with her following the tour I was sold. My daughter was sold after seeing the bridal and groomsmen suites, but for me it was the warm feeling I got from Ellie. She assured me we could achieve our vision in the time we had and she would make sure of it. For those who don't know, they offer wedding coordinator services for and additonal fee in addition to the venue. BEST MONEY EVER SPENT!!! I could not have asked for a better companion for this journey. Ellie kept us on schedule, helped us with caterer recommendations, as well as, DJ, photograher, florist and even someone to assist with the ceremony. She offered up great ideas for our Christmas wedding. The venue is gorgeous on its own, but dressed up simply for Christmas was absolutely stunning. The suites are the spacious and furnished beautifully, lots of mirrors and space for the girls to get ready and the groomsmen suite has a pool table and kitchen to keep them entertained. This venue is a 10 out of 10 in every way. The building itself is stunning, but the people - they put this place over the top! Highly recommend the venue and the wedding coordinator services. -

I knew from the moment we had our tour at the HPO that this would be our venue and I’m so glad we chose it. The venue is beautiful and the bride/groom suites sold us. We had a large wedding party and had so much space to get ready. The real gem of the venue was our coordinator, Ellie. She made the entire process so enjoyable and easy! From the first meeting to the day of she was available at all hours and helped ease my wedding stress. Everyone at the HPO was incredible and our guests are still raving about the venue almost a month later! I cannot say enough good things about the venue and the staff. I will never stop recommending the HPO! -

Elizabeth Sent on 04/09/2025Dream Wedding!!
We absolutely LOVED having our wedding here!! On our way to tour the venue, my partner was having second thoughts on having a big wedding vs. eloping and after our tour, he was completely sold on the HPO! It was slightly over our initial budget but we moved things around to make it happen and we are happy we did that!!! We personally asked for Ellie (who gave us the tour) to be our day of coordinator (extra fee) and she was so wonderful to work with!!! Couldn't have done it without her! We were upfront with our overall budget being at 30k (we ended up spending 32k, not including my wedding dress) and she helped us prioritize what was necessary vs. a want. What was really helpful is they have some small decor items (candle vases, sign stands, cake cutting utensils, champagne glasses) they let us use, which also helped us save money!! (As that can quickly add up!). I do recommend asking about their a la carte item prices (additional costs for us were napkins and linens) when it comes to budgeting but Ellie was very accommodating and helped our vision come to life!
Since we went with day of coordination services, set up and break down was included. They were like a well-oiled machine!!! They flipped the ceremony space into the reception space and the room was TRANSFORMED. As the bride, I wasn't asked any questions regarding decor setup because my fiance had the information and was able to answer all of Ellie's questions. This left me to enjoy my morning with my girls in their enormous bridal suite!!! We were there from 9am and about 10 people were in there comfortable with room for more people! The groom's den was also really big and had a pool table that everyone was able to enjoy!
We were also able to host cocktail hour outside (made the call about mid-morning) and their courtyard is so lovely! We didn't have to think about extra decor outside because the venue and umbrella tables really spoke for themselves!
The location of the venue was also fantastic because we were able to get a variety of pictures in different spots (by the water, in the park, in front of the church next door, and a mural nearby) and the outside of the HPO is absolutely stunning and timeless! We are so so glad we went with the HPO, their coordination and hardwork to bring our dream wedding come to life. It will always have a special place in our hearts! -

Chelsea Sent on 11/16/2024Wedding venue of our dreams!
We got married here a couple of weeks ago and it was PERFECT. Truly so stunning and a very unique venue. The front steps provided the most picturesque backdrop. Highly highly recommend!
We wanted a venue we could do the ceremony and reception in the same place and all indoors in case of bad weather. The bridal suite was stunning, it was very large and a huge plus the bridal party could be there all day getting ready.
We really enjoyed that the venue provided so much and we did not have to hire rental vendors.
We did cocktail hour outside on the patio, the pergola is beautiful and the perfect outdoor space.
Ellie was our coordinator and knocked it out of the park. She was very knowledgeable and attentive and ensured the day went off without a hitch! She advised on many of our vendors to create the perfect team!
Having a hotel across the street for guests then the bars so close for after was a huge perk as well. -

The Historic Post Office simply did not disappoint. The venue was clean and the staff was wonderful. Ellie was our coordinator and she went above and beyond to ensure that our special day was nothing short of perfect. She was available throughout the entire planning process. I knew I could count on her for anything! The venue itself is elegant and had everything we needed for the day of. The wedding party suites were comfortable and spacious, giving everyone plenty of space to get ready and spend the day together. We could not have asked for a better venue for our wedding day. Thank you all so much for everything you did! -

Absolutely loved working with the HPO over the course of a year as I planned my wedding. It provides you with the perfect clean-slate venue that allows you to bring in your own vendors and really make the place your own. The staff is so lovely to work with and made the process so easy. Special shout out to my wedding coordinator Sylvia, who I couldn’t have imagined the day without. She coordinated all of my vendors and told me where to go and when on the day-of, which made everything so easy. It’s 100% worth the money to get one because they know the vendors and space so well. Loved my experience at this absolutely gorgeous venue and wouldn’t have had it any other way. Thank you! -

Emily Sent on 11/13/2023Picture perfect day!
I can’t say enough great things about the HPO. The Historic Post office gave us our picture perfect wedding day that we envisioned. From our venue tour to the day of the wedding everything was amazing.
For starters, the building is BEAUTIFUL. The white brick, lighting, scalloped windows, and wooden floors are so pretty on their own, it gave us a great backdrop to add our personal touches onto. The bridal suite is amazing to get ready in, and the guys had a great time in the grooms suite.
Second, the staff at HPO runs a tight ship! The pricing is clear, concise and fair. There are different price points for different budgets. They were great at explaining add ons available like pro lighting, custom name added to the wall, Photo Booth etc which made our day even more custom and special. Everything went so smooth with the planning process over our year of planning.
And last, but certainly not least Ellie, our wedding coordinator is hands down THE BEST decision we made for our wedding. We worked with her the entire engagement and she made the planning process so easy and made the day of perfect! We had 4 meetings leading up to the wedding. She planned the day step by step with us throughout the year. She gave us great advice on picking the rest of our vendors. The day of, everything was executed flawlessly. Ellie kept us on our timeline and set everything up perfectly. She set up all of our decorations exactly how I had in my mind, it was great seeing everything come together after a year of planning. Adam and I didn’t have to worry about a thing, as she took care of EVERYTHING! The day was everything’s we wanted and more, we can’t thank Ellie and the rest of the HPO team enough.

Hannah Sent on 07/24/2023Amazing Wedding Venue
The Historic Post Office is an amazing wedding venue, and we would recommend it to anyone! We had about 180 guests for our mid July wedding, and HPO was able to fit everyone comfortably inside for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Communication was great from the start, and we loved that we could hire a HPO specific Wedding Planner to bring our event together. No other venue that we looked at offered something like that, and it helped us navigate our vendors and decoration with ease. Our planner, Ellie, was awesome, and we're so glad that she was able to help us over the course of multiple planning meetings in the months leading up to our wedding day! She truly helped make our day so special, and took care of everything the day of while we got ready. Our bridal party appreciated the large bridal suites upstairs, and our guests couldn't get over how unique and charming HPO was. Don't hesitate to book your wedding here!! -

Christopher Sent on 11/24/2022Premier venue in Hampton
If you are looking for the best place to host your event in Hampton, you found it! I am a professional DJ and I work a few wedding events here every year and already have some lined up for next year. Before this year is over, I wanted to take the time and share with all review readers how grateful I am for the opportunity to be able to collaborate with such a great venue and the talented team that makes magic happen every time I am there. They communicate well with vendors, everything is always clean and looks amazing, and the layout options are awesome. The team here is also famous for their efficient room flips from ceremony to reception while guests enjoy cocktail hour in the upstairs space. I must shout out the head of the team, Madeline, who is a very experienced and knowledgeable problem solver and magic maker. She is always available to answer any questions I may have. The entire team surely goes above and beyond for their clients to have the best time ever. Go see for yourself, book your event here!

The perfect venue
Nothing says a successful wedding like a night where everything is perfect. Our wedding was hosted at The Historic Post Office in the downtown Hampton area. This venue is everything you would want and more. The venue has an open floor plan with a balcony overlooking the first floor as well as a bridal and groom suite. Their suites include showers, washer/dryer machines, a pool table, a kitchen and more! During our morning there, we were able to relax and get ready while our day-of coordinator, Silvia, managed everything happening downstairs. Silvia was the most helpful person we have ever worked with. She coordinated all other vendors and set up all the decorations for us. If you use The Historic Post Office as your venue, we’d definitely suggest using one of their day-of coordinators! Everyone there is beyond professional and will certainly make your wedding the easiest and most enjoyable day possible.

Working with Ellie and the HPO team was incredible. We paid for the day of coordinator, and got a full fledged planner and life long friend out of it. The venue was flawless, and our guests were mesmerized by the inside of the venue. We would recommend 1,000 times. -

Perfect Wedding Venue and Coordination
We had such a wonderful experience with the HPO venue and their coordination service option. It’s their venue and boy do they know how to run the show. I’m sure that all of the coordinators are wonderful, but we were lucky to have had Ellie Bernstein beside us. We enjoyed every meeting leading up to the big day, helpful tips, and vendor recommendations. She helped us make sure things where addressed, gave us assignments, and was always available to answer questions. I can’t say enough about that because we opted to plan our own wedding and this was JUST the right support we needed. We still drove things—- but her wisdom was vital to our success. She helped execute our set up and breakdown perfectly. From what I hear the breakdown is always a bit of a scramble. That’s the only advice I’ll give is plan ahead (more then you think needed) to leave with things that night. There are always little things that happen with these events, behind the scenes, and I promise you don’t want to handle them on your most important day. You can trust the HPO team to have your back and have your best interests. I highly recommend.
The venue is gorgeous and a perfect canvas for however you want to make it your own event. The area is perfect with bars that are walking distance and a nice hotel around the corner. It’s the full package. -

James Sent on 09/19/2022Wow! Just wow!
Such an amazing venue. From the expansive suites with kitchenette, foosball table, pool table, and ample prep space to the one-stop-shop capabilities, this was the perfect venue for our wedding. They have obviously spent a lot of time thinking about functionality and appearance and, from our booking until the wedding, a number of additional enhancements became available (additional napkin colors, etc) so they are continually evolving!
Also, I can’t speak highly enough about their coordination services. Our coordinator, Ellie, was very thorough and helped us figure out just exactly what we didn’t even know we wanted (we were all over the place but she gave us time to hone our decisions while offering insight as to what has been successful in past events (but never trying to push us to repeat or scale back).
Five stars all around! -

The Historic Post Office in Hampton was a dream venue for our wedding! The inclusive packages offered an array of options for any celebration and the al a carte additional services available were awesome touches to add flare to the event. We had an incredible experience planning our wedding. Both our ceremony and reception were held at HPO. We had the pleasure of working with one of the in-house coordinators, Ellie, who was a gem and vital part of our special day! Ellie met with us several times and was always a text or phone call away to answer any questions or brainstorm about concerns. Her expertise helped guide us into the perfect elements of our wedding. Ellie was always kind, respectful, friendly and professional. For a bride like myself, who wanted to know every detail throughout the planning process, Ellie was a God send. She offered my mind and heart wisdom and relief in the exact right moments I needed it. Ellie made my wedding better. She made the day so much more enjoyable because of the peace of mind she offered. The HPO team, Ellie included, were all very responsive and helpful. They worked tirelessly the day of our event, and transformed each portion of our wedding into its own unique visual landscape. Of the venues we visited locally, none compare to the offerings or caliber of HPO. We could rave all day long about how much we loved HPO and how perfectly suited this venue was for our wedding day. HPO will proudly and forever be etched in our memories, for the rest of our lives. -

Nicole Sent on 04/05/2022Best Venue Ever
The Historic Post Office was the first and only place we toured. I think the day after we saw it we signed our contract and picked our date. All the information they give you up front is super helpful as well as their preferred vendor list, which gave us a great starting point for choosing the rest of our vendors. The space itself is gorgeous on its own but it was nice to know their DOC service would handle everything too. We had Ellie as our coordinator and she was so sweet, helpful, fun, and made our wedding planning, wedding week, day and experience top notch. We loved the updates they keep adding - the vault/photo booth area was all cleared out and painted and looked great, the bridal suite to get ready in was well lit and comfortable, and the men's parlor was a blast for them. We loved that we didn't have to worry about weather or transportation and everything was all in the same spot. If you choose this venue, which you 100% should, definitely ask for Ellie - you won't be disappointed. The hotel across the street was super convenient as well as the bars / restaurants / coffee & donut shops and area had everything we could want. We may be bias but we had the best experience, the most fun, and beautiful wedding here! -

The HPO was the perfect place for our big day and will forever hold a special place in our hearts. The venue was the perfect size and it’s gorgeous in of itself. My husband and I actually had another tour booked for after our tour with the HPO that we cancelled because we knew we wanted to book with them. Madeline and Kelsey are wonderful to work with and are very responsive to any emails I sent them. The venue hosted our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception easily and held every moment of our day exactly where we wanted it. I can’t recommend the HPO enough! -

We chose the HPO based on proximity to our church and it was one of the best decisions we could have made. The space is gorgeous and we received so many compliments on the layout of the tables and dance floor. We also made the decision early on the add on the coordination services they offer and were so lucky to work with Madeline.

She communicated with vendors, coordinated the set up, and even broke down the event at the end of the night.

The Historic Post Office was the most wonderful venue for our July wedding. The upstairs suites were so comfortable and made getting ready so easy.

Allison Sent on 03/31/2019Amazing Venue with An Even More Amazing Staff!
If I could give The Historic Post Office 100 stars I would, and every one of them would be well-deserved. Picking your wedding venue is one of the most pivotal decisions you make as a couple because it impacts everything (how your day look and feels, your guest experience, etc. etc.). When I walked into the HPO for the first time, I knew I had found my dream wedding venue. The building itself is beautiful and is filled with historic details that give it a timeless look. Yet, the team at the HPO has done an amazing job of ensuring it is as practical as it is beautiful. There are SIX bathrooms (it sounds silly, but once you go to a wedding with a long bathroom line, this becomes an important detail), a BEAUTIFUL bridal suite, and a guy-friendly groomsmen suite. The venue is beautiful as is, but it is really easy for each couple to customize the space to match their personalities. The venue has in-house lighting that is so useful at achieving this. The HPO is truly an amazing wedding venue, but the team there is really what makes it stand out as the best (in my personal opinion) wedding venue in Hampton Roads. Kelsey and Madeline are incredibly professional and organized. When I arrived for my first tour of the HPO, I was given a folder with all types of materials about the venue, recommended vendors, pricing, etc. This was an anomaly, but a welcomed one. That level of organization and attention to detail was the standard that the HPO team held up throughout our wedding planning process. Speaking of the planning process, the best decision we made throughout it was hiring Madeline Wheeler with the HPO as our Day-Of-Coordinator. My husband and I cannot sing her praises enough. She is so terrific at what she does and made the wedding planning process easy and made our wedding day completely stress-free. Madeline is organized and professional with a spectacular attention-to-detail and calm personality that makes her a dream to work with. My husband and I were able to be completely present during our wedding day because of her hard work! -

Most unique venue you can find in Virginia
The Historic Post Office was the only venue we toured when we began searching for a wedding venue and we knew the second we stepped into the building that there was no where else we’d rather book. The tall ceilings, dark wood floors, and white walls were perfect for us to create the venue into our own design for our wedding day. Our wedding was stress free and exactly how we envisioned it thanks to Kelsey and her amazing team! -

Leslie Sent on 12/05/2018Wonderful Experience. Perfect Venue
I fully recommend The Historic Post Office to anyone looking for an amazing wedding ceremony/reception venue. It was the perfect venue for our wedding reception an our pictures are amazing. All of our guests raved about the place.
I grew up in Hampton and was so excited to hear the Post Office re-opened as a venue two years ago. I knew this would be a wonderful venue to have our wedding reception and it truly was. Everything was perfect. The atmosphere inside and out is great and is beautiful with even the simplest of details. We used the tables/chairs/bar/table linens available from the Post office, adding white roses for centerpieces with gold mercury votive candles and some greenery in the archways.
Kelsey worked with us from day one and we hired her as our day of coordinator. She was very responsive even with a newborn! Kelsey helped me remember so many details that I would have forgotten. Her suggestions and recommendations for other vendors was amazing and she worked directly with mine to make sure everything ran smoothly. The actual reception was perfect and if anything went wrong I was completely unaware. Fully endorse this venue and Kelsey! -

The ladies here were helpful and very accomodating, and we loved that the venue has its own specialty lighting that you can rent without an outside vendor. Also, the bride and groom suites are phenomenal and include plenty of amenities like irons, washer and drying, shower, etc. Our wedding at the Post Office was more beautiful and magical than I ever thought I would have!

Luisa Sent on 04/26/2018Soon after my husband and I got engaged I started my search for the "perfect" reception venue. I simply went on Google and stumbled upon the Historic Post Office. It was still going through renovations at that point but we made an appointment to tour the venue and from the moment we stepped foot inside we knew that was it. We didn't have to visit any other venues afterwards.
We initally chose the basic package with no upgrades and it was pricier than we expected, but worth it. We loved that the venue was a clean slate to really make our vision come true. Every detail in the HPO was our aesthetic from the hardwood floors to the lighting. The bridal suite is huge and gorgeous! We loved that there was a second floor too. It was the perfect space for our DJ since he could really see the dance floor. Later on, they added two bars to their package and we added one on. We misunderstood the package from our initial meeting and we thought uplighting was included, but it's not. Downlighting IS included and in my opinion, it was enough for us. The HPO is such a beautiful backdrop on its own, I don't think it needs much to make it really come alive. The HPO requires event insurance and that you have a day-of coordinator, so I would consider these expenses in addition to the venue package. I am SO glad that we were required to have a day-of coordinator since we weren't going to hire one, but she seriously was a lifesaver.
Kelsey and the rest of the staff were personable and always responsive when I had questions. We had the most perfect day and the HPO was a dream come true for us. We received so many compliments on the HPO itself from our guests to friends and coworkers who saw pictures. We couldn't have been happier choosing the HPOThe Historic Post Office's reply:
Luisa, thank you for the kind review and for including the stunning pictures! It was our pleasure to host your wedding and we're so glad it was everything you dreamed it would be. -

Rachel Sent on 11/13/2023Amazing experience, definitely recommend!
The Historic Post Office exceeded my expectations. My wedding was absolutely beautiful! The staff was very helpful and answered any questions I had in a timely manner. Their suggestions, professionalism, and expertise did not go unnoticed. The HPO staff definitely knows how to do weddings and does them extremely well! The bridal suite and groom suite were both beautiful and elegant, a perfect place for pre-ceremony pictures! I definitely recommend using the HPO for any and all events, not just weddings. I would love to work with them again in the future if given the opportunity! Loved every minute of being there! -

The HPO was an amazing venue for our wedding. The look was exactly our style and it was difficult to take bad pictures in and around HPO. Having special areas for the wedding party to get ready was much appreciated. The staff was very responsive, helpful and easy to work with. The only negative I would say is that most things are a'la carte so be sure to factor in that you will likely want most of the extras when booking. At the end of the day, well worth it and would recommend to any couple looking for a venue! -

Deaunna Sent on 05/24/2018I fell in love with the venue the first time I saw it. There was no other option for me or my husband. The onsite staff was great. The security guard was great. Kelsey was great to work with for the past year. She answered all of my questions and kept me informed. If I could choose all over again, I would still choose The Historic Post Office! -

Julia Sent on 07/29/2024Wonderful Venue!
We got married here almost two months ago and our experience couldn’t have been better! From the moment we walked in for a tour, ‘til the moment we walked out as husband and wife. We believe this venue makes the day easy. Not only because of its beautiful layout but also because of the coordinating services they offer. It’s an additional fee but it was totally worth it. We had the pleasure of working with Ellie. She’s incredible. She made sure our day was perfect and unforgettable. She really did take care of everything for us. I don’t think a single thing went wrong on our wedding day! And if it did, I have zero knowledge of it! It was fantastic. We were really able to enjoy our guests and each other. One more thing to add, they really take your vision seriously and pay close attention to detail to make sure the place comes out looking just like you had imagined! 10/10 -

Still new and growing
We had our reception at the HPO for our July 2018 wedding. We booked it in May of 2017 and took the next available Saturday for summer of 2018, which was luckily in my top 2 dates. Everything was pretty smooth. I'm glad they've changed from having to call to make deposits to an online system. In the time since we booked until our wedding, they added a lot more add-on options, such as backdrops, linens, bars, etc.
While scheduling hair and makeup with one of their preferred vendors, the preferred vendor was not up-to-date on their policies, thinking they were able to begin at 8am because they did that for another client. I hope they have been more communicating with their preferred vendors to make sure they are all on the same page. It was frustrating having to be in the middle of that and essentially being blamed for them not communicating. That incident made me almost regret having having our reception at the HPO.
Overall, the HPO is a beautiful venue. They are still growing and adding so many more things. It was a beautiful place for our reception. However, during the planning process it felt like we were just spending more and more money there with the add-ons. It would be a much better experience if there was more included in the already pricey shell of the building.The Historic Post Office's reply:
Hi Jenna,
Thank you for your feedback. You are correct, as a new venue we are growing and learning as we go. We have made many changes since you initially booked with us and are continuing to update our packages as we receive feedback like yours. We hope your overall experience at the HPO was positive and we wish you the best! -

Linea Sent on 06/01/2019Beautiful Venue - Overpriced
The HPO is a beautiful venue. However, they're overpriced. We chose a few of their add-ons and they were extremely pricey. They nickle and dime you for many things. It felt really cheesy to be honest. For the price, more things should definitely be included. If I could do it all over again, I probably would have chosen a different venue.The Historic Post Office's reply:
Thank you so much for your insight, Linea. We take all client feedback very seriously. Here at the HPO we operate on a base rental fee and then we have an A-La Carte menu full of additional (and completely optional) rental items you can choose from. We do this so that every client can customize their contract with us based on their individual event needs and budget. If we included all of these items, we would be forced to raise the base rental fee and, thus, charge more for the facility. We have found that the A-La Carte options work best for our clients because this ensures that they do not have to pay for items that they do not want/need.
We hope you enjoyed your day at the HPO, we certainly loved having you!
