We love Kingsmill! Cintia was truly incredible working with when planning our wedding. She always had great ideas and suggestions and always made sure we were happy. We loved the view of the James River and had the best time!!

I'm giving this 1 star ONLY because the person called Director of Catering and Convention service CINTIA HUGHES had an appointment with us at 2pm to give us a tours. We were taking in consideration to celebrate our wedding in this place. I was thinking maybe have a membership with this resort and all that but not anymore .This lady did not show up to our meeting. So unprofessional, not even a call to excuse herself. Front desk person tried to call her to different places and no answer from her. I was taking in consideration this place but now for sure I don’t. Making my family and I waste 4 hours of our time ( including my driving back and for ) definitely left a sour taste about this place and wedding organization. I will not trust in other services if this is how we started our first contact.

Any questions?

Kingsmill was a beautiful venue! The food was fantastic for our rehearsal dinner and bridal luncheon, and the guys in our wedding party had a fantastic time golfing the day before the wedding. The staff was terribly hard to get in touch with the entire planning process. We had the estate house, 2 cottages, and MANY hotel rooms being booked on top of having our rehearsal dinner and bridal luncheon there, and it was impossible to get in touch with someone. We would call and leave voicemails with nobody to return them, or send emails and hear nothing back. Finally when it was go time, we got SOME support, but after escalating up to the general manager. Overall the venue and food was fantastic, but planning was stressful and less ideal for two families spending tens of thousands of dollars for a weekend.

I recently had my wedding at the Kingsmill and it was absolutely fabulous. The staff was above and beyond, especially the wedding coordinators, Erin and Lauren. They deserve a million stars and a million dollars for their flexibility, organization, and brilliant ideas. The only reason I am giving 4 stars is due to value. There were some aspects I do believe were not fairly priced. I was extremely pleased with our wedding package (we did the station style-highly recommend!). However, I was informed that some of the passed hors d'ovours ran out during cocktail hour, which was disappointing, and that they were being passed with no napkins or utensils. We added on an "antipasto display" to our rehearsal dinner. It ended up being a medium sized charcuterie board that cost $590. In that aspect, I was disappointed in pricing. However, the venue is absolutely beautiful and the staff is amazing. Before booking, I would just be clear on what you are getting and what you are paying. My guests loved the fact that they got to enjoy the resort amenities all weekend long and we really made it more than just a wedding, but an experience for our guests thanks to the amazing grounds of the Kingsmill!

After reading some reviews here, we weren’t sure if we wanted to visit Kingsmill, but the moment we arrived we knew it was our wedding venue. Our ceremony was held in the James River ballroom in front of a beautiful wall of windows looking out over the river. The cocktail space was sizeable, so no one felt crowded while the room was being flipped for the reception. Our coordinator, Carla, was fantastic! She always answered emails and never made me feel uncomfortable when I had any questions. The food was great and the cake was included in the service as well. We are looking forward to going back to the resort next year to enjoy the location even more.

My husband and I were married at Kingsmill last May and it was absolutely perfect in every way. It had everything we wanted/needed and the staff was so accommodating for all of my quirky requests. I emailed my coordinators SO many questions and their responses were always timely and helpful. My husbands favorite part? The FOOD! It was AMAZING! We’re still getting comments from our friends and family about how great it was! Kingsmill, 10/10, is my top venue to recommend for anyone’s dream location to say ‘I do!’

I did not have my wedding at Kingsmill Resort because in my opinion they cost more than they were worth. As of fall 2015, the resort had a $14,000 food and drink minimum plus a $2,500 cost for a wedding planner. If you use an outside wedding planner you still have to pay them $2,000 for "coordination services," and not having a wedding planner isn't an option. What's more, despite beautiful pictures, when we went to tour Kingsmill we saw that it badly needed some TLC. The ballroom was dark, and the outer terrace had some mildew and burnt out lanterns. It is clear that it was a magnificent space at one point, and if you're strongly considering Kingsmill I encourage you to tour it-- the physical problems we saw could be easily fixed and may be by the time you read this review. Plusses for the venue are many. The sales manager, Kaitlin, was very friendly and responsive. They are a comprehensive package, and even include room blocks and a honeymoon suite. Overall, I think it would have been a low-stress venue to work with, if only they cleaned up a bit and lowered the price.

The Venue was beautiful, our guests were so pleased they felt they were on vacation. Kaitlin the coordinator and Jessica the spa coordinator were fantastic in making sure we had everything that we needed. There were a couple challenges with incorrect names on the reservations, but Kaitlin quickly took care of that and whatever else we needed.

My husband and I had a room on the James River which was absolutely beautiful! We arrived on a Sunday and had tickets to Busch Gardens. We were delighted to know that Kingsmill runs a shuttle to B.G. (no parking costs at the park for us!) It was a very intimate location, I love the way the resort is setup. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Definitely plan to return!

I cannot say enough great things about our venue! Included in the rental was a member of their event coordination team, whom was with us from start to finish. Any and all (we wanted to have a Brazilian-style dinner) requests were met and far exceeded our expectations. We could not recommend a better place in Williamsburg for a beautiful, worry-free wedding!

I don't know why everyone doesn't get married at the Kingsmill Resort & Spa. Our wedding was picturesque! More beautiful than I could have even imagined. The food was phenomenal, the cake was spectacular. In all honesty, I felt like I had a million dollar wedding for under 35k. I would HIGHLY recommend. Ask for Jessie!

I loved Kingsmill. They took care of EVERYTHING! If there was a problem they fixed it, they didn't worry me with the problems. The food was excellent, the reception room was beautiful, and the ceremony location was beautiful. If you want a worry free amazing wedding go to Kingsmill.

This venue was amazing. The most important element was the ability of the sales team to coordinate everything in a stress-free environment. I had a perfect wedding day largely in part to the professionalism of the resort.

They took care of EVERYTHING I wanted or needed. I was able to have the wedding of my dreams with ZERO stress or hassle. You have a minimum spending amount for your wedding and for each vendor they coordinate the bill for they charge 20% all in all very worth it to the groom and I. Everything was a huge success and I credit their hard work for that.
