Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- It's a 550-acre urban oasis brimming with local history. The sprawling park surrounding this 1930s-era museum encompasses gorgeously landscaped grounds and the sparkling Lake Maury, which is ringed by the five-mile shoreline Noland Trail.
- There are 15 sites to choose from. Lions Bridge features breathtaking views of the James River. The Holly Tree and Oak Tree overlooks both provide private waterfront areas to exchange vows. And Williams Field offers plenty of open lawn for a large outdoor celebration.
- You can reserve the gallery spaces in the evening. The Port Package includes the Front Lawn, the Grand Entry Hall & Patio, and the Main Lobby, which has sleek track lighting and stylish works of art on display. A broad selection of tables and chairs is available.
