Historic design elements are blended with uniquely Richmond touches to make each wedding a one-of-a-kind celebration.

I could type forever raving about Common House. My husband and I were forced to postpone our initial wedding date and change venues. We booked Common House before the construction was finished and were a little nervous about the venue. Shelby a...
nd the event team eased every concern we had about the construction timeline and the venue was absolutely perfect. Shelby was so responsive and worked so hard to make our wedding perfect, despite a global pandemic, newly opening a business, and of course all of the little things that pop up along the way. The space is beautiful and classic, with the ability to make it whatever you want. Our pictures from each floor, including the roof, are simply stunning. The staff was the most accommodating staff I have ever seen. I am not joking when I say almost every guest at our wedding commented on how incredible the staff was. One staff member was even running to get me a mint at my request before I walked down the aisle! They took every precaution and followed all recommendations due to COVID and made sure we felt safe. The food was delicious and they even ordered special liquor for my husband's family. They provided umbrellas when we faced some unexpected rain and took care of even little things that absolutely shouldn't fall onto the venue staff. I absolutely recommend Common House as a ceremony and reception site. They will work so hard to make your event perfect.
Common House was the perfect venue for our wedding. Liz Arline is AH-maz-ing! She was super communicative, kind, professional, and such a pleasure to work with every step of the way. Seriously, she is wonderful. Common House was the perfect mix...
of Richmond charm with the modern amenities we were looking for. The staff was wonderful and polite. CH has a well-established process to make sure your day goes as smooth as possible. The space itself is dynamic and you can personalize it in a way that best fits you and your partner's vision. We highly recommend Common House. Thanks Common House for helping us have the day we dreamed of.
We could not have been more impressed and happy with Common House as our wedding venue. Our event coordinator, Liz, was on top of everything and really helpful as we went through the planning process. She shared the best practices learned fro...
m previous events and helped us integrate them into the vision for our wedding. What's great is that Common House has a kitchen and staff on site, so it totally eliminated the process of having to find a caterer. The food was also incredible, and all our guests raved about it. What's also great is that the venue has both indoor and outdoor event space, so in the event of rain (which we encountered), we were able to quickly change plans to mitigate poor weather for the ceremony and reception while still being able to utilize some of the outdoor areas. Overall, I cannot recommend Common House enough. If you're looking to get married, or host any event, in Richmond, you would be doing yourself a disservice by not visiting and seeing what they can offer.
Any questions?
We fell in love with the idea of having our wedding at CH before it was even finished with construction but we could see the vision and signed on with Shelby to have an April wedding in their inaugural year. Pandemic hit and we had to greatly p...
ivot and the staff there was super helpful in transitioning plans to allow us to still get married on our original date with a more intimate event that was beautiful. They welcomed us back for an anniversary vow renewal where we were finally able to celebrate with a big party and all we can say is WOW! The planning process with Liz was so easy and she was wonderful at communicating everything and answering all my questions. On the day of, all of the CH staff were SO accommodating, extremely pleasant, and made us feel like royalty. The food, set-up, staff… everything was beyond perfect and exceeded all expectations! Can not say enough good things about Common House and so happy to have our special day there - twice!
Having our wedding at Common House was the best decision we made! Shelby Howick was an absolute dream to work with. While planning our wedding during COVID, through multiple ups and downs, Shelby was a steady and guiding presence helping us nav...
igate the process with grace and poise. The entire staff was friendly, professional, and honestly just delightful. Our guests continue to rave about the delicious food, atmosphere, and service. Thank you Shelby and Common House for helping our dream wedding come to life!
We have not had our wedding(s) here yet, so I will update after that.
Shelby, the Common House events coordinator, has gone above and beyond to make the booking process for our microwedding and one year anniversary party easy, fun, and comfort...
able. Common House is an all-inclusive venue, so this is where you want to go if, like me, you don't want to spend your whole engagement planning! The space is GORGEOUS and adaptable to your needs, the chef makes approachable food that's approachable yet elevated, and the whole team is super sweet and on top of their game. I waited until after we booked our date to leave this review, because once people know about this special place, their calendar will be full!
