Dover Hall was not only a beautiful venue but the staff handled everything and made the entire day very stress free. They were very reachable through their portal during the planning process and the on-site tasting and final planning meeting gave us a great idea of how our day was going to go. They did an amazing job setting up and helping us with the small details of the day. Would recommend this venue to anyone!

We could not imagine a more perfect place to serve as the backdrop for our wedding than the old-world beauty of Dover Hall. The property, people, and service they provide blew our expectations away and really made our weekend more perfect than we ever imagined it could be.
We wanted our wedding to feel like we were hosting our loved ones for the weekend at a manor home and Dover Hall was uniquely suited to our needs and the vibe we were looking for. It wound up being the only venue we toured, after the first visit - we knew we couldn’t get married anywhere else.
The staff at Dover Hall is, in short, incredible. At every stage they made us feel so special and appreciated, from the first time we toured all the way through to the end of the wedding weekend. Their relationships with local vendors are very strong, enabling the execution of everything throughout the weekend to be just so smooth. Chad was an excellent partner with us throughout the planning process, and also helped us select delicious old-world wines from his own collection.
Our main contact during planning and on-site support throughout the weekend, Rachel Kennedy, was as essential to the success of our wedding as our actual planner. She was everywhere, helping our family throughout the weekend, and was so kind and supportive. We couldn’t appreciate her more, her partnership was truly so crucial to how incredible our weekend was.
Chef Leah is incredibly talented, and was so helpful in working with us to design all of the menus for the weekend, including making accommodations for some of the family staying with us during the weekend, as well as personal touches that we requested for several of the meals. Everything her and her team made for us was delicious, well above the usual quality of food at weddings (seriously, well above), and was all so unique in preparation and execution. Our expectations were completely shattered, Chef Leah is a real difference-maker for Dover Hall as a venue.
Coming from California and having our families in separate parts of Virginia made a weekend-long option a main differentiator for us in choosing a venue. The fact that we could host all our events + stay on-site with our families for the weekend at this incredible manor home and that the food & beverage was all done in house eliminated so many stressors. Once we started talking with Rachel and Chad and understood more about how Dover Hall approached hosting for the entire weekend, we knew that it was a truly unique product that only they could offer.
Being able to treat such an incredible home as our own for the weekend was so uniquely special, and allowed us to utilize the space to the fullest. Hosting rehearsal dinner in the dining room, the welcome party spread throughout the space, and brunch in the ballroom we were just dancing in the night before was so amazing and now our memories of this time are all centered around the same place. The bedrooms and upstairs spaces are all just as nice as the rest of the property, were comfortable and luxurious, and made for ideal “getting ready” spaces.
Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our choice of venue for the weekend. Chad, Leah, the rest of the Dover Hall team and (especially) Rachel worked with us to make our weekend absolute perfection, and we couldn’t be happier. Theirs is truly a unique space, and they provide unique service to match, they will actually not allow you to lift a finger, especially over the full weekend.

Dover Hall is a wedding venue located at the heart of Manakin Sabot, VA. This royal and regal property, reminiscent of the English countryside, was once home to Dennis and Cindy Pryor. In 2014, the Pryor's luxury Virginia estate was transformed into a private venue for weddings and special occasions. In 2017, the Dover Hall Experiences team took the reins and have since hosted hundreds of heartfelt "I dos."
Dover Hall is a medieval-style mansion that sits on 38,000 acres of rich green pasture. From pointed wooden arches and velvet couches to intricate wallpaper and queen-sized beds draped in extravagant tapestries, this renaissance property gives all its guests a glimpse of the glamor of a bygone era. A large venue, Dover Hall can host up to 400 loved ones and boasts a wide selection of ceremony and celebration spaces. For al fresco vow exchanges, couples can make their declaration of love next to Dover Hall's glistening outdoor pool. Indoor ceremonies can be held in the solarium, which features large, panoramic windows for breathtaking vistas of the surrounding Dover Hall estate. Once the thrill of the party begins, everyone can retreat to the two-story ballroom, fitted with floor-to-ceiling windows, a stone-cut fireplace, giant sparkling chandeliers, and plenty of space for dining and dancing. Dover Hall also hosts an array of impressive suites where the nearlyweds can feel like royalty as they dress to impress for their big day.
The Dover Hall team does its best to give clients across the state a one-of-a-kind wedding experience. The mansion comes fully stocked with everything needed to pull off a memorable wedding soiree, providing tables, chairs, and any necessary equipment. When it comes to catering, they never miss a beat, crafting the finest dishes that can also be tailored to any dietary requirements. Dover Hall welcomes any vendors of their couples' choosing, allowing them to celebrate their day their way.

Our experience with Dover Hall was exceptional from start to finish. The venue itself is stunning and the level of care, professionalism and attention to detail from everyone we wo...
rked with there was unmatched. From our first tour of the venue we were blown away by the beauty of Dover Hall and all the unique areas it has for different parts of your wedding day and also by the level of hospitality – offering us champagne during the tour and giving us an amazing gift bag at the end of it.
We had about 250 guests at our wedding and Dover Hall was more than able to accommodate this size. We planned to have our ceremony and cocktail hour outside, but it ended up raining on our wedding day, and they were able to seamlessly transition everything to be inside, without it impacting any other parts of the day. They did such an incredible job with it that we had so many guests who did not realize the ceremony and cocktail hour had not been planned to be inside all along.
We had the pleasure of working with Rachel Kennedy as our event manager and she was an absolute joy to work with. She is truly one of the nicest people you could ever work with. From the moment we met, she was so friendly, kind and accommodating – always going out of her way to make sure we felt comfortable and taken care of – and her enthusiasm about everything is contagious. She was quick to respond, flexible with requests and genuinely cared about making everything perfect for us. Her positive attitude and warmth made our entire experience with Dover Hall such a positive one. Rachel was always willing to go above and beyond for us whether it was giving tours of the venue to our family members when they were in town visiting or coordinating phone calls with Dover Hall’s amazing chef to accommodate our guests’ dietary restrictions. And this level of care and thoughtfulness carried on past our wedding day – we went to one of Dover Hall’s wine dinners a few weeks after our wedding that Rachel was hosting. Rachel so welcoming and excited to see us, and she even snuck us each one of our signature cocktails from our wedding during the dinner. It was such a thoughtful gesture that meant so much to us.
The entire staff at Dover Hall was incredible. Chef Leah is amazing – everything she makes is delicious, so we had the hardest time narrowing down our menu after our tasting with her. Every dish she makes is beautifully prepared and all of our guests were raving about the food at our wedding.
We also stayed at Dover Hall the night of our wedding (and I stayed there with my sister the night before), which was such a great experience and something we would highly recommend. All of the staff made sure this experience was perfect, from the security guards there with us at night, to everyone checking in on us making sure all of our needs were met, to serving us the delicious breakfast that came with the overnight stay.
We also had our rehearsal dinner at Bartizan, Dover Hall’s sister property, which was an equally wonderful experience, and we were lucky enough to work with Rachel for that as well.
We highly recommend this venue to any couple looking for a truly luxurious and unforgettable wedding experience.

ond area but Dover proved us wrong. Dover Hall was the first and ONLY venue we toured after getting engaged. We have received endless compliments on not only our venue choice, but the staff and ESPECIALLY the food. Emily, Wendy, and Chef Leah worked with us during the whole planning process to ensure we were satisfied with everything. The entire staff is extremely accommodating, kind, patient, and helpful with everything. They are so knowledgeable and really walk you through the entire process. I have never been to an American style wedding before so I had no idea what I was doing but they were extremely understanding and held my hand throughout the last almost 2 years. We also really wanted to incorporate Thai and Korean dishes with our reception and Chef Leah was able to collaborate with us to create delicious options for our guests. We wish we could go back everyday and relive it all over again, Dover Hall is truly one of a kind and such a beautiful place-- we are so happy with our choice.

poke so highly of the food and the service. The wine from 7 Lady Vineyards is also exceptional. Not only were the staff that joined us on wedding day very professional, they were all just kind. I was able to chat with some of them during the rehearsal and they made me feel like they were genuinely excited to be a part of the day. Because their team ironed out every single detail with me leading all of the way up to the wedding, the day of was perfect. It was a zero stress day! I was able to focus on the things that really mattered because we knew that everything would all be taken care of. Beyond that, it is a beautiful venue. If you are looking for a beautiful venue that truly has everything that you need on hand, Dover Hall is an exceptional choice.

From the moment we approached Dover Hall, we knew it was something special.

This venue was the first one we viewed and I am so glad it was. The staff’s professionalism was evident in every interaction. They were extremely professional, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly.

For any bride looking for the perfect wedding venue, this place is an absolute must. It offers not just a venue, but an experience that is both enchanting and unforgettable. The combination of stunning features, professional staff, and a seamless experience makes it a top-tier choice for a dream wedding.
The food and catering at the wedding venue were exceptional. The culinary team delivered a diverse menu that catered to a variety of tastes and dietary requirements, ensuring that every guest found something delightful to enjoy. The dishes were not only delicious but also beautifully presented, adding to the overall elegance of the event.
The service was impeccable, with professional wait staff who were both courteous and efficient, ensuring that every table received prompt and attentive service. The catering staff’s ability to manage such a large event without any hiccups was truly impressive.

The team executed every detail perfectly from the spaces for us to get ready in throughout the day, the ceremony and reception floor plans, incredible food and stocked bar, and even created a private dinner for my fiancé and I to enjoy while our stationed-style dinner for our guests took place. Our guests were blown away, too. We would not have changed a single thing about our day and cannot recommend Dover Hall more. So professional, organized, and just all around amazing!

This venue is stunning in photos but even more unbelievable in person. So much goes into wedding planning but working with Dover Hall made the process so much easier. From our first email to the end of the wedding reception, Dover Hall had nothing but top notch service. A special thank you to Emily and Stephanie for working so closely with us and answering countless emails. We also want to thank Asia and the catering staff at Dover Hall for making our guests truly feel like royalty on our day. The group at Dover Hall worked so hard to personalize the day and made our wedding feel completely unique. If you are getting married in the Richmond area, don't walk: run to Dover Hall!

the place to the day of our wedding, every step of the journey was seamless and filled with unparalleled professionalism and warmth.
The staff at Dover Hall deserves all the accolades in the world. I struggle to find words to describe how amazing they were throughout the entire process. Rachel, Stephanie, and Jeff, in particular, went above and beyond to make our wedding day an absolute dream come true. Their dedication and attention to detail were truly outstanding. They ensured that every aspect of our wedding, from the initial inquiry to the final dance, was flawless and stress-free.
Now, let's talk about Chef Leah and her culinary wizardry. Her food is nothing short of unreal! Our guests couldn't stop raving about her delectable creations, and I can't blame them. The flavors, presentation, and quality of the food were top-notch, and we will be reminiscing about that meal for years to come. I will forever be dreaming about her food!
The beauty of the Dover Hall venue itself is awe-inspiring. It provides a stunning backdrop that doesn't require much effort to make it even more magical for a wedding. The sheer elegance and grandeur of the surroundings left our guests absolutely breathless. Whether it was the enchanting architecture or the lush, picturesque landscapes, Dover Hall provided an enchanting ambiance that added an extra layer of magic to our special day.
In summary, our experience at Dover Hall was nothing short of extraordinary. The amazing staff, led by the remarkable Rachel, Stephanie, and Jeff, ensured that our wedding day went off without a hitch. And the venue's natural beauty provided the perfect backdrop for our dream wedding. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to everyone at Dover Hall for making our day so incredibly special. If you're looking for the perfect wedding venue, look no further—Dover Hall is an absolute gem.

m the moment we toured Dover Hall back in 2022, we knew this would be the place for us. From the beginning, Rachel was such a pleasure to work with and we can't say enough great things about her. As we approached our date, Silvia came on-board and took the lead without hesitation. She was instrumental in organizing all of our details and worked so well with our Planner and the rest of our vendors.
The week of the wedding was made so much easier with the help and guidance of both Silvia and Rachel, along with the rest of the Dover Hall staff. Each and every one of them was kind, personable, knowledgeable, and kept our thoughts and wishes at the top of their priority from Day 1.
The wedding itself was truly amazing; everything we had dreamed of and more. From the outdoor ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to the ballroom reception, all of the logistics of the day were handled and executed flawlessly. The food was absolutely amazing and I cannot understate how many compliments we received from our guests. It only added to the amazing night they helped us pull off; we could not have had the wedding of our dreams without Dover Hall!!!

Dover Hall wants to come across as a luxury high end experience - but they over promise and do not deliver in a variety of ways.
The wedding itself is picture perfect. If that ma...
tters and you are going for a cocktail attire or less event it might be a good fit. We had a roughly 100-person black-tie event.
Our biggest complaint was service. Starting with cocktail hour. We asked prior to the wedding multiple times how many hors d'oeuvre pieces were included in the per person count. We were never given a hard number. We were told they varied dependent on the hors d'oeuvre, but they never run out. The kept promising don’t worry about the number – there is more than enough. We ran out about half way through. Many of my guests stated there were hors d'oeuvres they never saw (most common heard was the lamb).
Moving from cocktail hour to the reception they do not assist in moving your guests. My wedding planner was politely trying to move my guests, but it turned into me screaming walking through the first floor for my guests to move to the reception. There was absolutely no one from Dover Hall moving guests. Account this for your timing.
Due to this we were already slightly delayed in our start of the dinner reception portion. Dinner service is where the biggest issues were. It was incredibly slow we ended up about at least an hour behind schedule due to slow service. It took so long between courses and delivery of courses that my guests were getting up to mingle with others. I was able to great every table and chat some between our amuse bouche and salad course. I ended up going to the kitchen to ask where the salad was. We never sped up. Guests dietary restrictions were not followed in the details where they were sitting. We had certain color cups to be used at inner vs outer tables that were put in the notes – they were put anywhere. We had to roll out speeches while main entrees were still being served we were so behind and they took forever to bring out each course. We asked the best woman be served immediately so she could eat before speaking in 10 min, it came out 10 min later. The bread and butter that they raved about that was included was not given to us. It dawned at me at the end of the meal. I asked guests if it had been on their table and maybe our head table was over looked – it wasn’t. My husband and I weren’t served first which I thought was odd – but that’s now just picking things apart.
Another part on the details – we had asked how staff would be dressed. We were told they wore slacks with a button down and burgundy tie. We asked if we got bow ties if they could wear these instead. We were told yes. Uniformity for a black tie event was important to us. Well, most servers were dressed for a cocktail party and not in the uniform. I did not ask how the security was dressed and wish I had. One looked like a wedding crasher hanging out at the bar with sunglasses on his head, I almost went and asked him who he was. The other was in a powder blue suit and stuck out like a sore thumb.
This is why if you are looking for a formal reception I believe they are not a good fit. If you are less about small details and cocktail attire or less, it may be an appropriate venue – if they can get timing right. But at this point I would not recommend them as a venue.

ple and attention to detail. The team goes above and beyond to make your day incredible. Everyone is so detail oriented and truly make you feel special. We manly worked with Rachel and Silvia who got to know me and my husband very well over our short engagement. I never felt like I was nickel and dimed over cost and they always wanted us to feel special and to choose details that meant the most to us. Our day was incredible and I am so appreciative of everything Dover Hall and their staff did for us. Thank you guys so much <3

I do not even know where to start when it comes to describing the unreal magic that is Dover Hall. I will start by saying my husband and I originally booked a castle in Ireland for...
our wedding venue, however with the pandemic we had to cancel that. Insert finding Dover Hall Estate which is even BETTER than a castle in Ireland and I truly mean that. Whats amazing about Dover is that it has such grandeur yet the staff is just so down to earth and kind. You would almost be intimidated to book a venue as lux as this however when dealing with the team at Dover you are almost dealing with family. When we did the tour we even met one of the owners and he was just the most kind and down to earth gentleman there ever was. I joke with family that Dover Hall is an airbnb on steroids in that you can actually treat it like your home which is unheard of for a place this nice. You would expect everything to be roped off and that you and your guest really would be confined to a small space but it is like you own the estate for the night. We chose to stay at Dover the night of our wedding and rent the rooms that were available for our closet family and friends and that really was the cherry on top of the cake. The mechanics of choosing Dover for your special event is also so simple! Everything is in house and is top notch. I was told the filet at our wedding was the best filet our guest had ever had. The food was delicious! Dover was so accommodating and flexible given all the uncertainties and craziness with getting married during a pandemic, the staff is truly best in class. We worked closely with Madison and she is an absolute gem. I will also note we booked our rehearsal dinner at their sister property bartizan and that really blew us and our guest away and really kicked the wedding weekend off in a very special way. The whole experience was dreamy and stress-free I am so happy that our Ireland wedding got canceled and we got married at Dover Hall Estate.

We got married at Dover Hall on 1/16/22. Dover Hall is an absolutely exceptional venue from the beauty of it to the experience their team provides couples. They say you get what yo...
u pay for and that is definitely true with this venue. It is on the pricier side of Richmond venues but absolutely worth every penny. A couple highlights -
- The Food - Hands down best food I’ve ever had at a wedding, and so many of our guests commented on it. The tasting was such a cool experience - You can bring two additional guests to the tasting and take them on the tour of the house.
The staff - Their Director of Sales, Miranda, was amazing to work with from day 1 of touring through the wedding. They were slammed in 2021 with 3 weddings every weekend, but she still made us feel like a priority and did a great job of staying connected with us and our coordinator. We also had a unique experience that makes me appreciate the venue even more. The weather forecast was calling for a significant snowstorm the day of our wedding and Miranda set up a call with one of the owners, Jeff, a few days before to talk through options. They were incredibly flexible and accommodating. We had the option to move our wedding to a new date as late as 2 days before the wedding at no cost. We luckily were able to have the wedding but that flexibility with an event contract is very rare!
- Every space is stunning - You aren’t just getting a beautiful ceremony or reception space. You get a huge, stunning bridal suite to get ready in, and so many different spots for photos. The cocktail hour can be throughout the house which is a cool experience for guests. Highly recommend Dover particularly for winter brides doing everything inside - they fit up to 150. Overall, the space speaks for itself, so worth putting your budget toward the venue and less toward decor!

Dover Hall was amazing! Miranda is incredibly knowledgeable and had amazing ideas to make our wedding spectacular. The entire staff made us feel like a priority and helped us plan ...
every detail of our day. All our guests were floored by a) how beautiful every part of the venue is, and b) how delicious the food was (even four months later my husband can’t stop talking about the food)! Dover Hall is absolutely worth every penny, and we’re so glad we worked with them.

Our wedding was an absolute dream! We knew Dover Hall was the one when we went on the initial tour with Miranda. She was personable and professional from the beginning and answered...
our many questions. Our tasting experience was wonderful with Miranda and Melanie - all the dishes arranged by Chef Lee were delightful and it felt like you were having a meal in a cozy restaurant. It is clear the entire staff is experienced and knowledgeable about every aspect of the venue, and if there were any questions they couldn't address right away they were quick to follow-up afterwards.
We booked Dover Hall and planned for our celebration for about two years, and in that time COVID hit with full force which made us reassess our vision for our celebrations. Miranda and Melanie were very responsive as we communicated concerns with safety and rescheduling. To be transparent, there were many email correspondences as Dover Hall adapted to this new situation, and in the beginning it was a bit of a challenge to figure out the best solution. We ultimately decided to have an intimate celebration with our immediate family and bridal party and Dover Hall was happy to accommodate these changes. We were worried Dover Hall would feel overwhelming for such a small party, but the feedback was the complete opposite. Everyone's jaw dropped when they saw the venue in person and explored the different parts of the estate throughout the day. Our parents loved the setting and atmosphere, our guests raved about the food, and everyone was on the dance floor by the end of the night.
A consistent comment we received from our guests was the excellent service Dover Hall provided. From the beginning, one of our priorities for our wedding celebration was to make sure our guests felt welcomed. The attentive and professional staff made this goal a breeze. We are so happy to have celebrated with our loved ones despite a year of uncertainties, and we are so grateful to have worked with Dover Hall and the amazing staff to make it happen. We wouldn't have it any other way!

er Hall made our wedding a dream come true. Everyone who works at Dover Hall is committed to ensuring your wedding day is perfect. Melinda and Melanie were our main points of contact. With full disclosure, there were some bumps in the road with planning and miscommunication, but we were able to work together, and they professionally solved and addressed any issues. The owners are truly fantastic and everyone at Dover Hall is caring. On our wedding day we felt their kindness and care for us. Chef Lee is a genius!! He is the man that you want to create a beautiful menu. From the canapes to the main course, Chef Lee delivered and then some. He was able to take my West-Indian and South Indian background and fuse some elements into our wedding day food and it made my family so happy to see that. The grounds of Dover Hall are beautifully manicured and the perfect place to have your wedding ceremony and reception. The bridal suite is the most beautiful and largest one I have ever been in and provides more than enough room for the bridal party plus mothers and sisters. Whenever I think of our wedding day it fills me with joy. Dover Hall is a fantastic wedding venue, with an interesting history, and you want to chose it for your wedding venue. Our friends and family came from all over the USA, England, and Canada and everyone was impressed by Dover Hall. Thank you Dover Hall for everything you did to make our wedding day the absolute best. We greatly appreciate your hard work and dedication to your clients. #bestweddingever #doverhall Much Love, ~ Gwen & Jonathan

ver Hall other than perfect. If you have any hesitations about booking Dover Hall for your big day, don’t. It will be the absolute best way for you to make your wedding day everything you hoped for and more. From our first tour of Dover Hall, we were captivated by the beauty of everything this estate has to offer. We could clearly see that we could have the most beautiful setting for our wedding at Dover Hall, but it has so much more to offer than the incredible architecture you see before your eyes. The staff went above and beyond to fulfill every request we had and make our big day and wedding weekend special for us. Miranda, Melanie, and Nadia are just some of the few amazing people of the team that helped make our wedding day go perfectly. Chef Lee made the most delicious food starting with our tasting, to our rehearsal dinner, to the wedding, and post wedding brunch. We were in food heaven and I wish I could go back and eat it all over and over again. I am looking forward to the day when my husband and I go back to Dover Hall to stay at the amazing estate again, this time for our anniversary. We just know that the Dover Hall team will treat us as wonderfully as they did for our wedding.

r our winter wedding, the elegance, the superior staff, outstanding food, and the indoor capacity but we were surprised to find our expectations not only met but surpassed in every way. As a wedding photographer, I knew that a venue could be stunning but without exceptional service, a wedding day struggles to feel special for the couple, vendors and staff. I had photographed a wedding at Dover Hall a few years prior to our wedding and my experience as a vendor had me sold. As a photographer, they made my experience outstanding, provided the best food and made sure I felt comfortable, all to ensure that the couple we were serving had the very best day. When choosing Dover for our own wedding venue, we knew that if they treated vendors in this way, the experience as a couple would be something special. From the day of booking to our New Year's Eve wedding, Melanie and Miranda's constant encouragement, structure, and professionalism was a grounding place for us throughout the whole planning process. On the wedding day, Miranda, Melanie, Nadia, Chef Lee and the whole staff worked overtime to fill in gaps, make sure the day ran smoothly and in the end were intricate parts in creating the very best day for us. We cannot thank them enough. We love Dover Hall and recommend it to everyone!

Where do I even begin!? I recently got married at Dover Hall Estate and let me just tell you, it was hands down the best day of my life! Our wedding was truly like something out of...
a fairytale.
My husband and I live in Northern California with no ties to Virginia, so this was a destination wedding for all. California has some amazing venues but we were looking for something with a grand European vibe and ideally wanted to be able to stay overnight at the venue. Dover Hall checked all of our boxes so we booked it site unseen and we are SO GLAD we did! Not to mention, the views alone were breathtaking, even better in person!
The incredible people who make this venue come to life deserve an award.
We grew to love Miranda and Melanie who were amazing throughout the entire process and made each step seem like a breeze. They recommended several vendors which we ended up working with Alana, from Chancey Charm and Casey from Cultivate Event Co. both of which I would also highly recommend as everyone had such great chemistry with the Dover Hall gals and made us feel at home.
Chef Lee and Nadia also played a significant role. Chef Lee not only prepared our reception dinner but our rehearsal dinner as well.. and let’s just say, people are still raving about the food!
We are forever grateful for Dover hall and cant wait to travel down memory lane when we plan our next trip back!
With love,
Amanda & Joao Paulo

WOW, where to start? Well, this venue definitely costs a fortune for a reason. Everything was beyond my expectations and made it extremely easy for me to enjoy my day and not worry...
about doing anything myself. The food was IMPECCABLE. All the staff were super helpful and considerate. They accommodated any request I had to meet and see the venue for different things, they handled all the moving set up and break down, which was a huge blessing for me and the wedding party. I think the only thing that was below my expectations was that they doubled booked my wedding night with another party and did not tell me before hand. So, it was great that I didn't worry about it the night of my wedding, but it was disappointing to hear from my wedding guests after the honeymoon that they could not see the library or billards room during the cocktail hour like we thought because another party had it blocked off. That's the only reason it wasn't 5 star... I really do love everything about this place, I just wish they would have been more clear that my wedding guests we're not going to be able to see some of the rooms in the house. Make sure you communicate all your expectations and they will work with them! That's just one thing we did not talk about and I guessed they assumed I was okay with it and I assumed they would have it open for us. Small mistake overall, everything else was beyond perfect! Special thanks to Natalie and Melanie, they were the ABSOLUTE BEST!

erty. Not only was she personable and friendly, but she was extremely knowledgeable about both the accommodations of the venue and the wedding industry as a whole. She helped to answer our many questions, work to find a package that fit our needs and budget, and made us feel confident in all of the many details that go into the planning process. Her teammate Melanie was equally knowledgeable and helpful, and she was a tremendous resource for day and week of details. Between them, the ownership team who was often visible, and the incredible Chef Lee, we constantly felt like our wedding was the most important event of the year to them.
The venue itself was second to none. From the drive down the path to the estate, to the incredibly magnificent detail in every room, to the gardens and lawn out back, you’d be hard pressed to find another location like this. The wedding parties were able to enjoy the bridal suite and the “groomsmen rooms” all day before the wedding. Drinks and delicious snacks were provided and enjoyed as we relaxed our way to getting ready and the ceremony. The reflecting pool/lawn out back provided a wonderful scene for the wedding party and guests to enjoy the ceremony. After that, guests were able to tour the property, enjoying all of the rooms, patios, and magnificent sunset. The ballroom and tent provided plenty of space for us to enjoy dinner then dancing later on. Bars were plentiful and bar staff was both friendly and helpful. We received so many compliments from friends and family on everything from the evening. It truly was the perfect night, and we’ll remember it forever. Thank you to all of the Dover Hall staff for making it so special for us!

WOW! The minute I pulled up to Dover Hall I said to myself this is where I am going to get married! We did not check out any other venues. Dover hall is breathtaking. We knew this ...
was the perfect location for the wedding of our dreams! On top of how gorgeous Dover Hall is, the staff were incredibly nice and helpful. I felt like they went beyond their roles helping us and making our day perfect. Our wedding theme was glitz and cinderella, meet Slovakia with a touch of Scotland. And our wedding day was filled beyond the max. Thank you Dover Hall team! I want to repeat 9/28/19 all over again! My wedding was definitely the BEST, most memorable, and most FUN wedding I have been too. :)

My wife at I got married and had our reception at Dover Hall during the summer of 2019, and it was one of the best decisions we ever made! Throughout our tours of possible wedding ...
locales, we visited a myriad of different types of places; winery, museums, country clubs, and garden spaces. None of the sites we visited holds a candle to Dover Hall.
As you drive down the driveway towards Dover Hall, you are immediately awestruck by its presence and beauty; it indeed looks like something out of a movie.
The best part? The Dover Hall team is just as amazing! They were a joy to work with every step of the way and made life easier on our wedding planner!
We cannot recommend Dover Hall enough. The outside is breathtaking, the inside is grand, and the team is top-notch. If you've been wondering where to get married in the Richmond area, STOP! You've found the place to hold your dream wedding - it is Dover Hall!

The bridal suite and the grooms suite were so unique and breathtaking to spend the day in as well. I would absolutely recommend this venue and all it entails to anyone!

I don’t know where to begin with expressing my gratitude and appreciation of the Dover Hall team, but I think it is fair to start by saying that from wedding planning to the actual...
day, all my expectations were exceeded. My husband and I toured several venues in the Virginia area looking for the right aesthetic, wedding package options, top-notch menus, and an involved staff. As soon as we toured Dover Hall the remaining scheduled venue tours were cancelled because we knew immediately that we found our dream venue. I highly recommend staying the night over a wedding weekend to take full advantage of the estate. There is so much to explore and see!
We would like to thank the team for their time, energy, and patience that they devoted to us. While Dover Hall was coordinating wedding and events for other clients, it always felt as though we were their top priority. Miranda was incredible at communicating over e-mail, answering any and all questions we had, and making suggestions to enhance our theme/vision. Melanie was a super-star assisting with day-of help and making sure our guests had a great experience – not to mention helping execute a wedding gift surprise during the reception. And to Chef Lee, we still dream about your gnocchi and gorgeous plating – everything was perfection!

We had the most incredible and memorable experience having our wedding reception at Dover Hall Estate. We loved working with the entire Dover Hall staff for the year leading up to ...
our wedding on May 25, 2019. We could always count on Miranda and team for thoughtful suggestions, helpful recommendations and keeping us informed of key dates throughout the planning process. Their communication is unparalleled and were always responsive in a timely manner. They provided us an incredible vendor suggestion list that helped make all our wedding dreams come true. The attention to detail the months before the wedding and on the wedding day gave us immense comfort to fully enjoy the experience. Our guests still rave about the food, Chef Lee is beyond gifted! From the morning in the bridal suite to our entrance down the ballroom stairs to sunset portraits outside Dover, we have memories we will never forget! Having our wedding reception at Dover Hall Estate was the best decision we made and we highly recommend it for any couple; not only because the stunning and unique space, but for the highly capable and spectacular staff. -Amanda & Christian Brumbaugh

Dover Hall: The Best Wedding Experience!
If you're in the market for a wedding (or big celebration), we highly recommend having your event at Dover Hall. Not only is the venue its...
elf an amazing and decadent landscape, but the entire team was extremely helpful, professional, and top notch. They made us, our families, and our guests feel right at home from start to finish!
From the gorgeous venue (inside and out), to the incredible food, we were beyond impressed with their careful and streamlined process. We were facing a heat wave and were able to adjust our outdoor ceremony to inside. Dover Hall had the flexibility to make those changes with ease and thoughtful care and within a day's notice. The whole time, we knew we were in great hands.
Our guests loved exploring all that Dover Hall had to offer during our wedding and cocktail hour, and we continue to hear great things from them about the food and service, which we already knew were outstanding.
We were also so grateful for Miranda, Melanie, and Chad. Their hospitality, responsiveness, expertise, and overall kindness are things that we will never forget—we will continue to sing their praises. They were the dream team and their collaboration with our wedding coordinator and vendors was incredibly seamless. They—along with the entire DH staff—work so hard to make sure each guest is taken care of and having a great time. We felt so supported! We even had one staff member drive their car over to the bus lot to make sure they didn't leave without the bride and groom–they think and take care of everything! We will never forget their genuine attentiveness and will always remember our wedding day with extreme gratefulness and love thanks to the Dover Hall team!
This venue knows how to throw a party!
With gratitude,
Emily & Andrew
