An absolutely gorgeous wedding venue if you have a smaller/intimate wedding! There are no vendor restrictions and you can truly make it into the wedding of your dreams! Its an all day rental that provides the basics of what you need for a wedding or event. The communication and process was easy and we cant wait to see how the professional photos look! Here are some personal pictures that we took along the way! This place is fully customizable and budget friendly! The views are absolutely stunning! We had the wildlife behind us in the water while we are saying our vows and I cannot wait to see how it turned out!!!

We held our daughter’s wedding here last weekend and everything about this venue was perfect! They were looking for something on the water, intimate and cozy, beautiful on the inside and outside, and the staff was great to work with! The bridal suite was just the right size for the bridesmaids and bride to get ready, including a makeup artist and hairstylist. The option to have photos on the dock (and first look with her daddy on the dock) made it even more special.
Having the kitchen available for the caterer to use, the bartender had his space, it all fit like a glove, all together.
Our daughter said it was the perfect day several times. Several of our guests who grew up in Newport News weee shocked to know this venue was available (in their backyards)! I would 100% recommend Keffer Hall to anyone looking to book a wedding space (or venue for other events)!

We received so many compliments on the beauty of the location, especially the porch overlooking the water. This is a perfect venue for a small/mid-sized wedding at a very affordable price point!

g and this venue was PERFECT for that. Every guest stopped us to say they felt the love and closeness of the space. We ended up with 69 guests total. Inside the tables fit beautifully. The space is a bit small for dancing but when it was time they pushed some tables back and there was more than enough space. We had a BLAST. If you are thinking about it, please do yourself a favor and rent this space. It was also super affordable! I literally spent more on my dress than the venue. They do not force you to use catering with them or alcohol so we saved tons of money that way as well. Superb experience!!

Keffer Hall is a hidden gem in the Hampton Roads area. Pictures don't do this venue justice. Guests all commented about the view of the river and marina. It was a gorgeous backdrop...
for our outdoor wedding under the arbor and didn't need any added decoration. The covered porch was a well utilized area for guests to take in more of the view, mingle and feel the light breeze. The indoor space was current and tastefully decorated. The staff was courteous, professional, helpful and easy to work with. I highly recommend this venue!

We had our wedding May 18th, 2024. I was so thankful for this venue as we booked it pretty last minute (like 45days before our set date). It's perfect for small weddings! It is ver...
y affordable and one thing we loved about it was that we could provide our own vendors or do it ourselves! Plus, it has a bridal suite! The place is absolutely beautiful with a waterfront view! The only downside of the venue is that majority of it is carpeted, so it dosent give much room for a dance floor. But we made it work! The only thing I would recommend is getting a tent for incase it rains that way you can still get married under the pergola. It ended up downpouring during our wedding and we moved the ceremony to the covered porch, which worked for us but it wasn't ideal. Nonetheless we loved it! 🩷

wn and was pleasantly surprised at first glance. The setting in the water was everything. And it was perfect to be able to seat people out on the deck as well as inside so it made the venue feel much larger. The decor is neutral so it allowed our color scheme to pop as well which was important. Thank you to everyone for helping to make my Mother’s Birthday Day so special! Patty and Andre Young

ir wedding there on October 20, 2018 and everything was just as they wanted. We can't say a bad thing about this venue. The accessibility and having tables and chairs for inside and out helped alot.
Do not overlook this Venue not matter what time of year it is a great value, you bring in your own vendors no list to stick to or only certain vendors allowed.

ent off perfectly.
They had an agreement with a local rental company so we didn't have to pick up or pack up tables or chairs. A small pergola is outside for weddings- the backdrop is the small inlet. It is tucked inside of a upper class style neighborhood, but it doesn't get in the way. Also, reserving the site for the whole day, a Saturday, cost less than 2,000.
It perfectly fit what I wanted and all the staff that I met were very friendly.
