we built our venue out of a need to serve our community
The Hampton Roads area has an abundance of beautiful venues, but, none like ours. We wanted to create a much desired type of venue: a modern, French-country inspired barn style venue.
Our Principles
meet
Veronica
I've been planning wedding and events for over 20+ years. I wanted to build an elevated, non-traditional venue that offers guests an exclusive, alluring experience.
Designing a wedding and event venue came naturally to me because I am, in fact, an experienced wedding planner. I saw a need for a venue that was "barn-style, but nicer with heating and cooling" in my son's own words. Actually, this whole dream started because of him. He and his fiance described what they wanted in their wedding venue to me and I came to realize it didn't exist.
So..I did what I do best: I got things done. I went full force at designing and building the perfect Hampton Roads, Virginia wedding venue experience.
