Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Enchanting, tranquil, and infused with a sense of botanical magic, this stunning venue—inspired by nature and curated by experts—provides a truly remarkable backdrop for your wedding. Set at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains and nestled on a 1,000-acre tree nursery, it's an exquisite showcase of four seasons of natural beauty, from spring's fragrant cherry blossoms and delicate dogwood flowers to autumn's fiery explosion of colorful leaves.
- Plush hedges and flowering trees encircle the Half Moon Garden, where you'll say "I do" beneath the graceful arms of a weeping cherry tree. Or, take advantage of the stunning mountain vistas with a ceremony on the Berry Lawn, accented by vibrant berry blooms, the Love Lawn, set alongside the nursery's trees, or anywhere that sparks your imagination.
- The elegant Orchard Overlook Tent's clear top and retractable sides ensure you're never far from the surrounding landscape, with an adjacent bluestone patio perfect for mingling over cocktails. As a truly special perk, you have the option to work plant material from the working nursery and flower shop into your vision: think potted plants along a ceremony aisle, a flower-adorned bar, or greenery installations welcoming guests into the tent.
In April 2027, the Orchard Overlook Tent will be replaced by the brand-new Conservatory: a European-inspired greenhouse with glass walls, intricate metalwork, and retractable doors that open onto the existing bluestone terrace. Inquire for details!
