We used the Kimpton The Forum Hotel for our wedding weekend and it was a DREAM. By far the nicest accommodations available in the Charlottesville area, and pricing-wise, it beats competitors by a mile for a much nicer experience. From the minute we arrived for our wedding weekend, staff here made us feel seen and helped us with our every request. We were able to book a suite for bride and groom and getting ready, and Shannon helped us so much in securing our room block, extending it, and coordinating our stay. We also opted to have our wedding welcome party here, which was truly perfect. A huge thank you to Jake for the wonderful support provided in planning. The bar staff was so kind and soldiered through a very hot evening outside on the Camilia Promenade (which was a BEAUTIFUL venue) and choosing to host the welcome party at the hotel was one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process. The food and drink were perfect. This was also a great spot for our guests, who could find something to eat at one of the restaurants when needed. We found ourselves gathered around the bar at night which was just such a lovely way to spend time together, and the accommodations themselves were so upscale and lovely. Valet staff was out of this world helpful, remembered our names, were friendly and kind...and our guests loved the happy hour in the evenings, too! I wish we could've stayed here even longer, it was truly so perfect and made us feel so special over our wedding weekend. Can't recommend enough!
The Forum Hotel was great for my wedding guests. The communication was great regarding our hotel block and they were able to add more rooms when we needed them, which was a huge help and we really appreciated their flexibility. They did require us to be on the hook financially for the room block (it was not a football week - though my understanding was if we would’ve hosted an event here, it would be a free block). Still, everything was smooth from what I heard from the guests and the hotel itself is beautiful. Location is great too. The guests loved the huge windows and couldn’t wait to plan another visit as a getaway from DC. It would be a nice touch for them to throw in a drink at the bar or something for the bride and groom😂! However, my husband and I ended up booking at the hotel after the wedding weekend and when I emailed to let them know we were there, they gifted us a bottle of bubbly, which was a very nice touch. All in all, we had a great experience and love the hotel.
We also did not host any events here, but the facilities are really beautiful. The restaurant is delicious and the teahouse looking room is gorgeous.
