Hiring one of the most beautiful banquet halls in Virginia as the setting for their wedding, couples that are tying the knot can enjoy the elegance of a hotel that has been standing since the turn of the century.

With the understanding that they will only be married once in their life and wishing to make their special day the best it can be a number of brides and grooms are choosing to host their Virginia wedding in a place where the elegance and beauty surrounding their day is captured by the romance of the setting. Offering a large open hall that can be used during the reception the older style architecture of the 19th century hotel is an ideal backdrop for couples that are looking at sites where their first memories as a family will be made.

Celebrating the occasion of their matrimony with hundreds of guests, engaged couples can share the magic of their wedding by staying in a hotel that caters to each of the needs of the wedding festivities. With the ability to plan out the event and make the arrangements for the caterer and cake in house, a number of couples have been overcome by the pageantry of their wedding day. As the setting for their nuptials offers everything that the happy couple could want on their special day the preparations conclude with a seating at the rehearsal dinner site where the bride and groom meet with their closest friends and family members to run through the ceremony and enjoy a meal with their bridal party.

Taking into account that some of the guests will be traveling from other parts of the country the hotel that plays host to the wedding can be reserved to accommodate all of the invited people who are wishing the couple well. As one of the more prominent  banquet halls in Virginia the hotel and reception center that many brides choose to host their wedding has been honoring the marriage vows of many exclusive families for decades. Specializing in the intimate parties that host between 50 and 75 people the hotel can make room for a gathering of 200, but with the additional setup of a reception line and bandstand the preferred number of seats is comfortable with 75 people. However as many guests do not stay for the entire reception the ability to seat and feed the well wishers before another group of people pass through the line allows the caterer to manage the larger number of invited people to mix and mingle before enjoying a buffet style dinner. Offering the quiet sophistication that should accompany a bride and groom the venue that is located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains is only short drive from Charlottesville and Harrisonburg and offers the ideal setting for a bride and groom who are making a commitment to love and honor each other for the rest of their lives.
