We love Dover Hall!

Having our wedding at Dover Hall was amazing from start to finish. From the moment my fiancé and I stepped foot on the grounds, we were welcomed with kindness and support. We worked with Rachel and Stephanie specifically, but I can confidently say that every member of the team made sure that our wedding was exactly what we were hoping for and made the planning process very easy by being open and honest with pricing, incredibly responsive when needed, and unwavering in their support. Our wedding day was flawless. The team executed every detail perfectly from the spaces for us to get ready in throughout the day, the ceremony and reception floor plans, incredible food and stocked bar, and even created a private dinner for my fiancé and I to enjoy while our stationed-style dinner for our guests took place. Our guests were blown away, too. We would not have changed a single thing about our day and cannot recommend Dover Hall more. So professional, organized, and just all around amazing!

Unbelievable Day

Absolutely magical! We were married at Dover Hall at the end of September and are still glowing from the day. We knew we had found our venue from the moment we walked in the door. This venue is stunning in photos but even more unbelievable in person. So much goes into wedding planning but working with Dover Hall made the process so much easier. From our first email to the end of the wedding reception, Dover Hall had nothing but top notch service. A special thank you to Emily and Stephanie for working so closely with us and answering countless emails. We also want to thank Asia and the catering staff at Dover Hall for making our guests truly feel like royalty on our day. The group at Dover Hall worked so hard to personalize the day and made our wedding feel completely unique. If you are getting married in the Richmond area, don't walk: run to Dover Hall!
