The bride lived several states away. She was wrapping up residency, moving, and planning a wedding, so I, the mother of the bride arranged the details. Hence, the review is from my... perspective. The venue is lovely, from the long drive up through the vineyards to the stately home, courtyard, Aurora tent and the VIEWS! Varying Mountain views that are endlessly changing, provided multiple, personalized ceremony locations. The courtyard hosted our circular bar, dripping in florals, providing a welcoming hug to our guests. We were fortunate to enjoy fall weather, on a beautiful
Fall day, but not too cool. We just added a few heaters. We chose king tables and round tables to enjoy a family style meal. The differentiating shape and linen provided movement to the space. We designed a cluster of empire crystal chandeliers hung over the dance floor. You may also purchase the string lighting in the courtyard for the reception. Since we kept that bar open all night, we did. The ceiling was draped with smilax and Spanish moss. It lended itself to a gracious, ethereal feel. The staff at the vineyard was kind, efficient, and supportive. Owner, Cindy, is a gem. Her warmth is infectious and her love for sharing her home and expertise ooze out of her. She can also serve as your wedding planner. Her eye for detail is sharp. She is great with photography and has a gift for writing. She eloquently described our daughter and son in laws wedding 10.10.25. It was a true gift. A major detail we learned, but it was not a Keswick Vineyard oversight. Make sure your clergy or person marrying the couple registers with the state. Our Pastor was from out of state but has married people all over the world. This VA specific detail was not known to us, creating some challenges after the wedding. Before the wedding, my daughter wanted 3 things: to feel pretty, a beautiful venue and killer florals. After the wedding, I asked her to describe it in 3 words. She chose “Perfect Just Perfect.” Thank you Keswick Vineyard Weddings. It is a pleasure to recommend you to future bride and grooms! And a special thank you to Cindy for making us feel truly special and cared for.
