About this venue

OWNER
Nestled in the heart of Richmond, the Awaken Wholeness Center, is a beautiful venue for weddings and other special occasions. Situated on 3.5 acres encompassed by beautiful natural scenery, its tranquil setting provides the perfect backdrop for your wedding day or special event.
Our venue is dedicated to alcohol-free and substance-free weddings and events.
Tie the knot with the one you love in a beautiful, intimate, indoor space with room for up to 50 guests. This calm and inspiring venue space has high ceilings with skylights allowing ample natural light to pour into the space and views of outdoor greenery, glimpses of nature and our outdoor koi pond through large picturesque windows and glass doors along one entire side of the room.
Our generous event space is 2,500 sq ft. We have one large indoor event space (approximately 830 square feet) that can hold up to 50 people total. When you rent our space it comes with two large dressing rooms for the wedding party to get ready, a livingroom for family to gather before the ceremony, a non-commercial staff kitchen to collect and prepare any food for the event, as well as two ADA compliant bathrooms (one with a shower if needed). We have an on-site staff member that can assist with hearing-impaired guests (to be hired separately if needed) for your event.
Feel relaxed and ready for your special day! Leading up to your special day, add on any number of personalized Awaken Wholeness Center Energy Sessions or Experiences that can be modified for the number of people in your wedding party and/or family. Come in a day or two or even a week before the big day to keep calm and feel cared for. We can help you pre-book Reiki, Angelic Clearings, Acupuncture, or any one of our consciousness-raising de-stressing technologies that can help you look and feel your best.
For extra time before the big day with the one you love, add on the “Pampered Bride” and “Relaxed Groom” package where the bride-to-be and groom-to-be come for a couples sauna, couples Biofield Tuning, couples Shungite room experience, and/or couples Core Harmonizer session. Add on wedding party members and build your own experience to fit your budget and/or number of people in your wedding party.
If you enjoy crystals, there is an on-site store with a large selection of unique gifts and products that could be the perfect wedding favors for your guests.
When it comes time for your special day, surround yourself in coherence, and a home-like feel in this oasis of a space which is set back off the road, but still close to many amenities and hotels in nearby towns, and approximately 30 minutes from local beaches.
Reach out to Awaken Wholeness Center today to find out more about the services and packages we offer. We are happy to work with you to make this an amazing day!

Since working with Heather and Jesse, my boundaries have been so strong and I’ve felt so much more centered, emotionally balanced, and peaceful. I will have emotional unsteadiness from time to time but my panic clears up much more quickly. I h...
aven't had a panic attack since working with Heather and Jesse. This was the only healing I needed, and I needed it. The difference is truly remarkable. People around me have noticed a huge shift too. I am in my power again. Not only am I in my power again, immediately following my treatment, my passion (acting) which has been on the back burner for the last few months immediately picked up again. All of a sudden, my acting career is taking off once again, and I didn't do anything differently other than seeing Heather and Jesse and connecting with my true path using the Quantum Flo. I truly believe the Quantum Flo connecting me with my true self is what brought all of my dreams to fruition, or at least on their way! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Awaken Wholeness Center was an incredible experience. The center offers three technologies produced by Ross Newkirk of “Conscious Technologies LLC”. The center facilitates raising consciousness by providing access to or “training wheels” of med...
itation. We were greeted by Heather Newkirk, the director. Heather did a beautiful job of making us feel welcome and at ease with the Center’s offerings. She explained the core harmonizer’s ability to create a peaceful environment. We experienced this immediately when it was turned on. The “quantum flow” technology is a table that you lay down on and when it is turned on creates a harmonious field around you. The result of my experience was a deep sense of peace, connection, and generalized wellbeing. Although I have been meditating for many years, nothing has compared with the raised sense of consciousness that I have maintained since my session. The world is brighter and my gratitude deeper. I cannot say enough to recommend the Awaken Wholeness Center. You deserve this experience for yourself

I visited the shop a few weeks ago, and the owners were so warm and welcoming. They gave us a quick tour of the rooms, and the whole space immediately felt sacred, peaceful, and safe — the perfect environment for the healing work that happens t...
here.
I also had the chance to take a class with Louise, who shared some of the dance programs she offers. It was unique in the best way, and the tools we used felt really supportive to my body. I highly recommend giving it a try and look forward to exploring more of the offerings soon!
