The Greencroft Club occupies a historic early-1900s residence at the edge of Ivy in Charlottesville's Albemarle County, where original oak wide-plank floors, thick plaster walls, and a stone facade recall the building's decades as a private home. The club traces its own history to 1964 and the Boar's Head Club, relocating in 1972 to the former Greencroft Farm site it occupies today on 14 acres. Though a private club, The Greencroft Club opens its doors to non-members for wedding-related events, offering several rooms with crown molding, tray ceilings, stone fireplaces, and chandeliers. Its flexible spaces accommodate groups of 10 to 225 guests for rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions, luncheons, business meetings, and holiday parties, with an events coordinator on hand to help plan the space, menu, and services for each event. Beyond its event spaces, the club offers a swimming pool, eight dedicated pickleball courts, platform tennis, and a Padel court. The Greencroft Club has been recognized by The Daily Progress Readers' Choice Awards as Favorite Wedding Venue and Best Country Club in 2022, 2023, and 2024.

Alumni Hall has served as the University of Virginia Alumni Association's home since 1936, hosting nearly 90 years of student traditions, graduate celebrations, weddings, dinners, conferences, galas, and meetings on the same grounds as the University. The historic building sits close to UVA's Grounds with on-site parking, giving it a relaxed, friendly setting for events.

Construction began in September 2025, with a grand opening planned for spring 2027. The new building's exterior draws on the design of Pavilion IX and centers on a dramatic atrium, while flexible spaces including a Grand Ballroom, Library, Parlor, Meeting Room, and Cafe are designed to accommodate gatherings of 50 to 500 guests. Outdoor areas, among them the Main Event Terrace, Sprigg Lane Terrace, Emmet Street Terrace, and several gardens and colonnades, extend the building's event space beyond its walls.

Guests can dine across four dining rooms inside the historic house or on a large tented garden patio, making the property adaptable for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings.
