Awarded Best of Zola
We loved our wedding at Tiffin Farm! The views, the versatility of the barn’s style, the cocktail hour location, and much more! The location is conveniently less than 30 minutes from downtown Charlottesville, much more convenient than other venues we looked at. We couldn’t recommend it more to any couple looking for a venue in the Charlottesville area!

Mary Neifert was the wedding coordinator for my daughter's wedding at Chisholm Vineyards. As someone who has worked in the service industry many years ago, I know just how much it took to pull off what Mary pulled off with my daughter's wedding. It is no small feat to deal with so many people - from the bride and groom - to the bridal party to the vendors to the guests to your staff, etc. The organization it takes, the attention to details, the discipline, the patience, the ability to roll and adjust as things changed, to be able to think outside of the box, to be available for the many questions that the bride and mother of the bride had along the way, to corralling a very large wedding party and all of the many other people who were floating around - Mary made everything go flawlessly and gave my daughter and her now husband and myself so much peace from the very beginning to the finish line. Mary even calmed my husband and gave him so much peace as he was preparing to officiate our daughter's wedding. He even said Mary was a calming presence and helped him to see a solution when he couldn't see the forest for the trees. He was having problems with his tuxedo studs and Mary very quickly helped solve the problem. Mary's thoroughness in everything she did was incredible. She truly has a gift for what she does. I know Mary was working well into the night (well past midnight and then we met her the next morning to get the remaining vases we left so I don't think she slept much!) to clean up and put everything back where it needed to go. She gave 100% of herself throughout this process and it was very evident that she truly and genuinely cared about the bride and the groom, and she protected them when they needed it most. Her professionalism and drive for excellence is unmatched. I would highly recommend Mary and Chisholm Vineyards to any bride and groom! I really do want everyone to know what a valuable asset she is!

If I had to do it all over again, I would pick Mount Fair Vineyard every time. Everything was high quality: the wine, the views, the people, the communication, the property. I can hardly put into words how wonderful it was to work with Elaine and how much we enjoyed our wedding at Mount Fair. We fell more and more in love with it each time we visited and made the trip all the way from Georgia to bury our bourbon by the greenhouse. The Paddock House was perfect for our rehearsal dinner and getting ready in the morning while the groomsmen loved hanging out in the Tasting Room prior to the ceremony and the cottage was so convenient for us newlyweds. We were able to customize our day to exactly how we wanted it from the ceremony location to the catering team. You will have to bring almost everything in (restroom trailer, tent, chairs, etc) depending on the number of guests, but the property was so well taken care of that it speaks for itself, we barely had to decorate! Just be aware that across the street is Montfair which may have a wedding at the same time and Apple/Google directions may give you slightly incorrect directions, so you may want to put up signs for your guests! Get married here, you won't regret it!

We don't have enough incredible things to say about Guildford Farm. We paired our event with Katie's planning services which is a must-do; however, i'm separating the venue review from the specific owner's planning (she was stellar). The venue includes both the reception/wedding space, and also a home, and I am including both in this review. 1, VALUE- Incredible value for a full weekend and on-site lodging. The amount we and our bridal party saved in hotel cost more than makes up for the full-weekend fee, and what could possibly be better than hanging out with your favorite friends all weekend? If you're looking for winery-aesthetic with more freedom and lower cost than most C-ville winery venues, this is your spot. The best part is this reception/wedding space is a blank canvas and can be dressed up several ways, so you aren't cornered into a vibe (ex. don't have to go rustic, don't have to go glam, etc). 2, PHOTOS - gorgeous photo spots. They have a classic bridal suite, 2 balconies, mountain backdrops, field backdrops, a pond, and a home with so much vintage character packed into aesthetic rooms - three of which are themed by color which makes for adorable photos with 10/10 natural morning lighting. The venue includes a masculine den for groomsman photos. The arbor is built-in which also saves time and improves photos. 3, FUN - As of writing this review, the venue comes with over-sized games (ex. jenga, connect-4) which makes cocktail hour way more fun. It also comes with a bar which saves lots of for rentals. If you like fishing, there is a pond, and trails for hiking. There is also a sick basement space for groomsmen to stash away and hang out all day. If you want a "royalty" moment, there is an interior balcony from the bridal suite where you can go watch the party (or bridal party entrances) from far above. 4, PRIVATE - There is nothing around to cause any sort of noise disturbance or traffic or wedding crashers. There is shopping/target about 15 minutes away, so you can run out to get emergency items if needed. The stars at night are super bright due to minimal light pollution. 5, EASY - If you have anxiety about timelines being crunched, your reception ending too early, or forgetting your rings in your bedroom, Guildford is the best possible venue to battle those fears. The layout allows for easy movement between spaces which minimizes risk of timeline-derailment. While we didn't run into weather issues, I would say the venue can moderately flex for rain - they have backup plans, and while obviously any rain plan is not ideal, your wedding attendees wouldn't be soaked and you could still have a pretty ceremony/reception. It's also high on a hill, which means ground would be less muddy. Will return to the review to upload photos if Zola allows me to.

This venue is amazing. You have access to the entire camp - pavillion, dining hall, fire pits, lodges and cabins. We had about half of our guests spend the entire weekend at the camp with us. They even staffed the rock climbing wall for our guests Saturday morning before our wedding. There are so many options to make your event exactly what you want it, and the staff is so great and easy to work with. Best of all- the fees go towards sending special needs children to camp. Cannot recommend it enough!!
