    The Clifton sits on 100 acres of Virginia countryside on the outskirts of Charlottesville, with views across the estate to the Blue Ridge Mountains and Jefferson's Monticello. The property's oldest building was constructed in 1799 as a colonial-style home for Thomas Jefferson's daughter Martha and her husband, Thomas Mann Randolph; the estate took the name "Clifton" from the Wyatt family later in the 19th century. In 2018, the current owners worked with the Blackberry Farm Design team to reimagine the inn's interiors, pairing historic character with a contemporary sensibility across the property's five late 18th- and early 19th-century buildings. Today The Clifton operates as a 20-room boutique hotel with a restaurant, bar and lounge, and wine cellar, along with an infinity pool and hot tub, a private lake, walking trails, a croquet lawn, and sprawling gardens including a chef's garden. The estate's mix of indoor rooms — among them the book-lined Library and the below-ground Wine Cellar — and outdoor settings such as the Front Lawn, Croquet Lawn, and a sailcloth Court Tent gives couples and planners a range of scales for ceremonies, receptions, and private dinners, from intimate gatherings to guest counts in the hundreds.

    Great Marsh Estate's Manor House was built in the 1980s as a historical re-creation of a conventional Georgian manor house. After years of serving as a private property, the transfer to a wedding venue in 2018 seemed logical. While your guests chat on the first floor and the gentlemen play pool in our basement groom's suite, the Manor House 2nd floor rooms provide a wide and lovely backdrop for your morning hair and makeup as a bridal suite. Our famed Georgian Mansion is nestled in over 121 acres of lawn and forest, close to Warrenton and only an hour drive from Washington, DC, with restored period features and illustrious past and charm. Great Marsh Estate's Manor House is your very own unique country house for the day, with a luxurious bridal suite and a peaceful groom's lounge. The spiraling staircase, twelve-foot ceilings, stunning mirrors and lighting, and panoramic views of the courtyard Ceremony Site in the Bridal Suite were all designed with you and your guests in mind. The Reception Hall The joyous backdrop to your celebration is our Stables reception space, where your guests will enjoy dinner and reception. Heat/AC, onsite toilets, exquisite bistro lighting, and a delightful campfire area outside the covered patio have all been added to our Stables. The ideal venue for family and friends to celebrate your love! The Stables reception hall, which was erected in the 1800s, has a longer history. Its rustic architecture and wooden beams were kept during renovations in 2017, which included all of the modern comforts such as air conditioning/heating, restrooms, and a catering kitchen, as well as bistro lighting and a patio lounge space. The contrast between the magnificent Manor House and the more rustic Stables creates a unique and varied venue experience that your guests will enjoy! All of this, however, pales in comparison to the venue's natural beauty. It's a photographer's dream location, with its tranquil rolling hills, large green trees, tree-lined driveway, and onsite pond and bridge. We're excited to show you around!

    Belle Grove is a National Historic Landmark set in Virginia's northern Shenandoah Valley near Middletown. Its Federal-style limestone Manor House, completed in 1797 for Isaac Hite Jr. and his wife Nelly Madison Hite (sister of President James Madison), reflects design principles associated with Thomas Jefferson and features intricate, hand-carved woodwork.

Today Belle Grove operates as a National Trust for Historic Preservation site and the centerpiece of the Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park, welcoming weddings, corporate gatherings, and private parties across several distinct settings.

A Bridal Suite with its own dressing room and bathroom, along with a Groom's "Tack Room," give wedding parties dedicated space to prepare before the ceremony. Long Branch hosts a limited number of weddings each year, capped at 150 guests, and gives couples flexibility to bring their own licensed caterers and vendors. The property also opens its mansion and grounds for private events, corporate meetings, and family gatherings, supported by a catering kitchen, ample parking, and views across the farm's pastures to the mountains beyond.
