Layz S Ranch

e booked the venue until the day after our wedding. My husband and I knew this was the venue we were looking for the day we saw it. Having three days to set up and break down really made our wedding weekend run so smoothly. Highly recommend Layz S Ranch!!!

absolutely gorgeous that comes with and even better view!!!! I can’t recommend this place and the owners enough!!!!!!

indoors and outdoors. Pam and Greg were so wonderful to work with and truly made the entire planning process so smooth and easy!! All of our guests have told us how much they loved the venue, and our photographer and videographer were able to get so many cool shots on the property! The bride room was the perfect place to get ready in, and I especially loved that they also had a designated groom’s room for the guys to get ready in. All the main areas (outdoor ceremony location, cocktail hour area, reception space) are so close together which made everything so convenient for the guests. The indoor reception space was one of my favorite spots as it felt so beautiful and dreamy in there! Plus, the farm tables, benches, and chairs provided were so cute!! We felt such a peace on the property when we toured as well as on our wedding day!! A beyond beautiful venue, affordable price, and all weekend access for set up and clean up made this venue such a dream! I cannot recommend it enough!!

for- gorgeous views as well as lovely indoor spaces that could take as much or as little decorating as you'd like! The bridal suite and groom's quarters are beautiful and required very little walking to get to events happening throughout the day, such as the first look. Everywhere you turn you'll find a beautiful backdrop for photos. On top of this, parking was accessible and extremely close, and accomodated for over 150 guests (and could hold more!) Highly recommend!

ing, nice, and helpful!

st sight! After ample research, I knew that what Pam and Greg offered (a beautiful venue and extremely affordable price) couldn’t be beat. The owners offer their venue from Friday morning to noon on Sunday, which was so helpful in setting up decor and taking it down before and after the wedding day, respectively. Pam and Greg are also extremely friendly, flexible, and responsive, which was the cherry on top to the most perfect wedding planning experience. I could go on and on, but in short, I recommend Layz S Ranch if you’re looking for 1) an extraordinary venue with the most gorgeous views 2) an affordable price, and 3) flexible and caring owners who genuinely care about your experience.

ice is such a steal! The owners were wonderful to work with, accommodating my multiple pre-wedding visits, answering all of my many questions and even helping with the wedding set-up and takedown. The views made for wonderful pictures, and the multiple barns allowed for designated spaces for the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, etc. that flowed from one to the next effortlessly. We're so glad to have had our wedding there and would highly recommend Layz S Ranch! Go visit, you'll be so glad you did!

ut the process & on the wedding day! Highly recommend

in February of 2020 before the multiple renovations (patio with a breezeway to go between the smaller and larger pavilions, bridal suite remodeling, and building a groom's cottage) were underway/complete and we fell in love with it even before all of those wonderful things were added. The ceremony site is amazing- an elegant arbor overlooking rolling hills with a quaint barn in the background with a spacious patio and firepit. The smaller pavilion is immediately next to the ceremony site and can be used as a cocktail hour space or a backup ceremony site for bad weather which is so convenient- our guests loved how close the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception events were because they didn't have to travel but still got to enjoy three different experiences for each event. The large pavilion is so beautiful inside and out with its classic barn structure with a modern flare- beautiful wood panels and the classic, barn red metal roof invite guests in and then the amazing amount of natural light and beautiful chandeliers and fireplace make them feel cozy from the day and all through the night. The bridal suite is perfect for preparing for your big day with natural lighting for hair and makeup and getting ready photos and plenty of cozy space for all of your bridal party and family members. The groom's cottage provides the perfect "man cave" for the guys to relax away the jitters. The entire property is perfect photo ready- our photographer and videographers loved the scenery so much that our quick golden hour photo session turned into an hour and a half photoshoot before we knew it. The rolling hills with the rustic fencing and the adorable pond with the wooden bridge provide so many different photo opportunities. Pam and Greg are amazing to work with- great communication and so helpful from beginning to end. Planning a wedding in a pandemic with constantly changing restrictions was stressful, but Pam was quick to respond to any questions and offer suggestions for anything she could. Greg helped with setup of the venue the day before during rehearsal and also during the wedding the next day and we couldn't have run such a smooth event without his help. Our guests and other vendors couldn't stop raving about how beautiful the venue is and the overall romantic feeling of the entire property made for the perfect wedding day. With tables, chairs, benches, and the use of the refrigerators, bar, wagon, and buffet included in the contract there is one less vendor to worry about hiring and the venue by itself is so gorgeous that it takes minimal decorating to create your perfect vision. This venue is perfect for anyone that is looking for the most glamorous, magazine worthy venue with the least stressful setup and coordination possible. It truly is the best of both worlds for the most perfect wedding you could ever imagine. Thank you a million times over for everything! You guys went so far above and beyond what I ever imagined a venue could ever provide.

om Facebook. It was an October evening just before the sun was going down and the owners had graciously let us come by for a tour. From the start, they were so welcoming and answered all of my million questions happily. I was amazed by all they had to offer from the 2 barns, beautiful ceremony patio, bridal suite, full service bathrooms, and we were surprised that Greg and Pam, the owners, had built a Groomsmen shack during the pandemic! Pam was amazing with all communication with my wedding coordinator and I. Greg and family was also wonderful with setting up the furniture for us. The venue itself is so beautifully laid out and well kept. The days to follow the wedding everyone had complimented that it was THE most beautiful wedding and venue they had ever been to. They said everything was decorated so beautifully and the venue was sensational. Thank you Pam and Greg for allowing us to have the best day of our lives here!!

ic, natural and elegant. Greg and Pam, the owners, are very helpful, responsive, and a joy to work with! They truly want to work with you to make sure your day is exactly what you want. The venue has so many perks that many venues in the area do not - tables and chairs and so many other items that you won’t have to rent, affordable price for a stunning place, and all weekend access to the venue. The new bridal and groom suites are amazing and very beautifully decorated. There are so many spots for photos on the property as well! We can’t recommend Layz S enough!

very flexible in allowing us to move to a new date. We used the outdoor patio for our ceremony, had the cocktail reception in the rustic barn, and served dinner in the more modern barn. There are lots of areas that can accommodate guest lists of varying sizes. The bridal suite and grooms suite were nice places to enjoy a quiet moment and cool off. There are so many beautiful spots around the venue for photographs and the landscaping is really stunning. It was a great price for a beautiful venue, especially compared with other Charlottesville area venues.
