320 River Rd, Stanley, VA 22851, USA- Spaces for 250 Guests
- 1 Event Space
In the heart of the picturesque Shenandoah Valley, the property is located in Stanley, Virginia, just a short drive from Washington, DC. The property is available for immediate occupancy. The mountains of Shenandoah National Park are our neighbors, and we are also fortunate enough to have the Shenandoah River bordering our property. Several attractions outside of the National Park are available in Page County, which is also known as the "cabin capital of Virginia," so finding lodging is rarely a problem. [Please see our vendor page for more information.] We are a new venue that is currently undergoing renovations in order to make the barn as accommodating as possible for all of our guests. A bridal suite and storage space will be added to the main level of the barn. Restrooms, a kitchenette, and a bridal suite storage area will also be added to this level. Please check back here frequently or follow us on social media for the latest news! South Fork Barn & Event Venue specializes in weddings and other special events. We are, however, available for ALL EVENTS! Please do not hesitate to contact me if you are planning a family reunion, baby shower, bridal shower, styled shoot, or any other type of event. Depending on your requirements, we can discuss pricing and rental availability options with you. Mike, Melissa, Cody, and Jessica are the people who run the venue on a daily basis. River Road is a family-owned farm that has been in the Painter family for several generations. When Cody and Jessica announced their engagement, they knew they wanted to include their family farm in their wedding celebrations. It had taken several long weeks of renovations, but they were finally able to enjoy having their family and friends come together for the event. A perfect September day provided the setting for their ceremony along the south fork of the Shenandoah River, followed by a reception in the big red barn at the venue. After that day, it was clear that this beautiful property should be enjoyed by more people than just the family who had purchased it. Consequently, here we are, a year later, offering the South Fork Barn & Event Venue to the public. Please consider visiting us and seeing all of the hard work that has gone into making this place so special.

Today the Robinson Theater Community Arts Center operates as a multi-purpose nonprofit space, hosting dance, karate, acting, and music lessons alongside movie nights, community meetings, receptions, and recitals.
