    Best Venue Ever

    I went to Liberty, so about everyone I know has gotten married in Lynchburg. By far, I had the best experience planning and preparing for my wedding of anyone I've talked to who was married at another venue. Angelie is a gem and was incredibly responsive and accommodating. My mom and I made several site visits before and after my now-husband and I made the decision to get married here and we were made to feel so special and cared for at each appointment. The venue is beautiful and well-maintained, the food is AMAZING, and they were so flexible letting us set everything up early. The banquet staff and front desk personnel were amazing as well! About 80% of our guests were coming in from out of town and a lot of them stayed at the Virginian. Each of them had nothing but great things to say about how kind everyone was. I stayed in a suite with my bridesmaids the night before, got ready in it that morning, and it was flipped for our wedding night during the reception. Such an amazing experience. I wouldn't have done anything differently!

    The Virginian Lynchburg, Curio Collection by Hilton's reply:

    Caroline, thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback! Working with you and your mom throughout the planning process was an absolute joy. Your enthusiasm and attention to detail made every site visit feel like a celebration in itself! I'm so glad that you both felt special and cared for during those visits—it was a pleasure to be a part of this journey with you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for choosing us for your big day. Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness, and we hope to welcome you back for future celebrations.

    Simply the best!

    There are not enough characters available in this review box to express the magnificent experience we had at The Virginian. I am a former Customer Service Manager and a current Manager in the trade show industry. I’m keenly aware of systems that run great. The Virginian is honestly doing the work to ensure their guests/customers are satisfied. Our daughter’s wedding was handled with 5-star attention from the time we called to say we were interested in booking the date all the way to the day of the blessed event! Not only was the staff amazing (Shelley, Angelie, Laura, Memory, and others); the rooms and the restaurants lacked nothing. Oh… the ballroom is a dream. It’s elegance is breathtaking. Thank you for an AMAZING experience! You will see us again!

    The Virginian Lynchburg, Curio Collection by Hilton's reply:

    This is very sweet!! My warmest thank you for your thoughtful feedback. You were an absolute pleasure to work with, and it was a beautiful day! I look forward to having you all visit!

    💗 Angelie

    Highly Recommend The Virginian Hotel for a Wedding

    Our wedding day was absolutely beautiful. The Virginian Hotel was a delight to work with and made the process seamless for us when it came to aligning the venue space and putting together our menu. Our food was a 10/10 , the event staff and catering managing went above and beyond to make sure our guest were taken care of and that we had everything we needed during the ceremony and reception.

    The Virginian Lynchburg, Curio Collection by Hilton's reply:

    Thank you so much, Kailyn. I'm glad that planning was seamless and that you and your guests had a wonderful time. Your wedding was beautiful!

    Amazing experience!!!!

    Wow!!!We chose The Virginian as the venue for our daughter’s wedding, and it was the best choice we could ever have made! Both Angelie and Shea are experts at coordinating and communicating to design an amazing event! Having the in-house catering and venue as well as an affordable block of beautiful rooms available to out of town guests, made the Virginian the perfect choice for our daughter’s special day! The venue itself provided a gorgeous, elegant backdrop for photos. The bridal suite provided a beautiful space for the bride and bridesmaids to prepare for the wedding. The food was spectacular!!!! Guests loved the food and left raving about it! You will not regret choosing The Virginian for your big day!

    Elegant venue with top-notch service

    The Virginian Hotel was the perfect wedding venue for us - classy, timeless, and a gorgeous backdrop for our reception. From the moment that we dropped off our Welcome bags for our guests with The Virginian staff, I knew that I wouldn’t have to worry about the details of our wedding day coming together. Every member of the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming to us and all of our guests. In selecting our wedding venue, we wanted our guests to have an amazing experience and have top-notch, professional service while they were our guests which The Virginian absolutely delivered on. I did not have to worry about any details during our reception and The Virginian packed up boxes of cocktail hour and reception food for us to fully enjoy in the days after our wedding. While I am from Lynchburg, most of our guests were traveling in from out of town for our wedding. It was also important for us to have a place where all of our guests could stay as well as enjoy the reception. The Virginian made quite an impression on our guests - offering a beautiful venue and great hospitality. We heard so many compliments from our guests about how elegant the hotel was and how much they loved touring around downtown Lynchburg. The Virginian Hotel will always hold a special place in our hearts and we look forward to visiting in the years to come.

    The Virginian Lynchburg, Curio Collection by Hilton's reply:

    Thank you so much for your heartfelt feedback and the beautiful images! We're so glad to hear that The Virginian was the perfect setting for your special day. Thank you again for choosing us as your venue! We look forward to having you back with us.

    OUR FIRST CHOICE! Absolutely Perfect Wedding, Weekend of 06/25/21

    Thank you, Angelie Keller, Catering Sales Manager of The Virginian, for working with me and with us and for directing a memorable reception and overall wedding weekend -- everything was absolutely perfect! And shout-out to Madison Eades, former Manager, who gave us a tour and got us booked prior to the craziness of last year's pandemic. We absolutely love you guys and appreciate the hard work and kindness of all of the staff who made our wedding weekend at The Virginian incredibly special. The staff is super friendly, professional, and they even shared in our festivities to bring up the energy because they're awesome, authentic people. Angelie is an absolute delight to work with and coordinate special events with. She made the planning and finalization processes so easy, and she was flexible and organized with making sure everything (coordination, finances, details, etc.) was straight so that we would not stress whatsoever on our big day. The Virginian delivers luxury and all the amenities one would need during a getaway stay. We utilized the Rose Ballroom and the Grand Ballroom. My now husband chose this for our reception venue after we got engaged in 2019, and he made such a good choice. Fell in love at first sight with the place - has an Art Deco style, Great Gatsby-like feel with the decor and atmosphere, while at the same time, features classical architecture of columns and also has elements of French country with the florals and walls. After the reception, we came back to our suite to surprise treats, as well as our reception items and our top tier of our cake packed and put away for us. The rooms and suites are spacious and beautiful, which is especially great because before our romantic night by ourselves following the conclusion of the reception, we had a little after party in our suite with several of our friends first. My friends and family also enjoyed The Marigold Cafe in the lobby as well as Skyline rooftop restaurant and bar (Skyline has been our favorite spot long in Lynchburg long before our wedding). Overall, the quality of service and atmosphere cannot be beat, the hotel sits within downtown Lynchburg, and it is within a 10 minute drive to the LU side of Lynchburg and the rest of the metro area - it sits in the middle of everything where there's a ton of restaurants, events, markets, food, fun, etc. We highly recommend The Virginian Hotel and its lovely hardworking people for not just weddings, but also for parties, professional conferences, other special events, and for weekend getaways with friends and loved ones. We thank you so much again from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding weekend absolutely perfect (struggling to find synonyms for "absolutely perfect" but it's the truth). - Victoria & Jeremiah, married 06/25/2021, Lynchburg VA 🌿🥂🌿 #Cheers

    The Virginian Lynchburg, Curio Collection by Hilton's reply:

    Hi Victoria,

    Thank you so very much for your kind words!! You, Jeremiah, and your family/friends were such a pleasure to have. We are so glad we could make your perfect day come to life. Come back and visit anytime!

    Best Wishes,
    Angelie Keller

    Saved my wedding!!

    Absolutely love this venue! They were extremely responsive, attentive to detail, Angelie (the coordinator there) was an angel and literally saved my wedding from falling apart due to my day of coordinator canceling THE NIGHT BEFORE MY WEDDING. Oh, and I cannot forgot the rest of the Virginian team who put on an amazing surprise performance!! They honestly felt like long-lost cousins—we just connected with them so well!! I just can’t thank Angelie enough for everything she did for us. I added her on social media because she truly became a friend after that day. Love the Virginian!

    The Virginian Lynchburg, Curio Collection by Hilton's reply:

    Thank you for the sweetest feedback, Michaela!! I loved working with you. So thankful you and Tyler chose the Virginian to have your special day. Wishing you all the best and hope you come back to Virginia to visit!

    Above and Beyond!

    We loved working with Shelley Waldeck and Angelie Keller on our special day. It was great having everything in one place--ceremony, cocktail hour, reception. The bridal/honeymoon suite was just at the top of the stairs to the ballroom, so we didn't need to travel far. The food at both the cocktail hour and reception was impeccable. Could not have asked for a better venue for a stress-free wedding day.

    The Virginian Lynchburg, Curio Collection by Hilton's reply:

    That's wonderful to hear. You and Kyle really made it such a beautiful day! We are so grateful to have been apart of it. :)

    Best Wishes,

    Fabulous venue--fabulous staff

    Angelie Keller & her staff at the Virginian Hotel in Lynchburg VA were on point and focused on helping us from the first day of our wedding planning until the sparklers were extinguished at the end of the reception. I will be forever grateful for their support, guidance, expertise, competence, attention to detail, flexibility, and generosity of spirit. We had the most magical, most beautiful, most fun-filled wedding reception imaginable, with truly outstanding hors d'oeuvres and dinner offerings, and all at a reasonable cost. Even our tailor-made Signature Cocktail was superb! My husband and I, as well as the Bride & Groom, could not be happier with having chosen the Virginian. Absolutely perfect wedding reception in every way!

    The Virginian Lynchburg, Curio Collection by Hilton's reply:

    That's very sweet! Thank you Leila L. Your designs made the space absolutely breathtaking. It was so fun celebrating these two. Wishing your family all the best!!

    Wedding weekend

    The Virginian was the perfect place to host a wedding. We had many out of town guests that enjoyed the luxurious accommodations. The food was delicious, the staff were courteous and quick to respond to every need. It is a beautiful building that has been elegantly restored to perfection. I recommend it without reservation of any type.

    Beautiful wedding venue

    On 6/29/19, I was married at the hotel as well as had the reception there! The Virginian Hotel is so beautiful but what makes it so special is the staff! I cannot say enough about everyone involved there. Our coordinator, Madie Eades made sure that everything was thought of and accommodated. She helped in untold ways in making our day special. The staff members from the managers to the front desk to the bellhops to the cleaners to the people working the reception were so friendly and helpful as well as complimentary. Very seldom do you encounter a hotel where literally everyone is welcoming but they are here! I highly recommend staying here or just visit and enjoy the amazing food either in the William Henry restaurant or the Skyline restaurant!

    Best decision ever

    WOW WHERE DO I BEGIN?! My husband and I got married at The Virginian on 12.19.21. We are originally from the Northern VA/DC area and a friend of our told us to check out towns outside of DC since we couldn't find what we wanted. We wanted a MODERN ballroom, with a grand staircase, high ceiling (preferably glass)and chandeliers at a reasonable cost.... and then we found the VIRGINIAN. It checked off every. single.thing we wanted!!!

    Planning our wedding with the Virginian was absolutely a dream come true. Angelie Keller, the Virginian's Event Coordinator was a blessing. So responsive to all of my emails (and I sent a lot haha), and was always willing to work with my busy schedule. She truly made our dream wedding come true!!

    All of my guests keep talking about how amazing the staff was. To Johnathan and Connor, the valet, Michael at the front desk and Rick the bartender, everyone treated us with soooo much respect and happiness for our big day.

    If I had to do it again I would choose the Virginian every singe time. The price is very reasonable especially when compared to DC venues, the people are amazing and I absolutely love that it's such a small town where everyone in the wedding business knows each other.

    If you are considering the Virginian for your wedding make an appt to tour today!!! The moment I first entered the Virginian I KNEW this is the place I wanted to get married. It was the perfect venue for our modern day fairytale!!!

    The Virginian Lynchburg, Curio Collection by Hilton's reply:

    Thank you for your kind words, Alyia!! You took this dream vision and completely brought it to life. Absolutely breathtaking. It was such a pleasure working with you and Darrick. Please come back and visit!

    Best,
    Angelie Keller

    We were one of the first weddings at the Virginian. They are fantastic--by far the nicest venue for 100 miles. Also, the price blew any venue in northern Virginia out of the water.
