If you have come this far in your search for a venue, you are wasting your time looking any further than The Barns at Mattaponi Springs in Ruther Glen. We spent months searching for and visiting venues to host our wedding. With each passing day we grew more frustrated and discouraged, that is until we came upon The Barns at Mattaponi Springs by virtue of “The Great American Recipe” cooking competition TV series filmed at The Barns.
As we arrived for our initial visit, the inviting look and feel of the stately manor house nestled between two (2) traditional yet sophisticated barns took our breath away, and we knew THIS was our dream wedding site.
The calm and peaceful atmosphere at The Barns sets the mood for your wedding and reception and your photographs/video will look so naturalistic and polished, you’d think you were in a celebrity wedding. The team at The Barns are the best! From the warm and welcoming start, Tammy was so helpful and accommodating to our needs and vision. She helped us find our wedding date, local vendors, and a package that aligned our needs with our budget. She stood ready to answer any question at any moment and made the whole process a seamless and stress-free experience for us.
We have been receiving non-stop compliments from our guests about The Barns. We feel certain no other barn venue in the region has the setting that sets the look and feel for a comfortable yet elegant wedding that The Barns at Mattaponi Springs naturally creates. Believe me when I say, look no further than The Barns to make your wedding day dreams come true. A million thanks to Tammy and everyone at The Barns at Mattaponi Springs for a wedding celebration we will remember with delight and joy for a lifetime.

Where do you start? The venue itself is beautiful and picturesque, the staff and owner are not only the best in the business, they actually LOVE their job! They enjoy being a part of your big day, and it shows. The owner (Adam) is hands on and isn't afraid to get those hands dirty to make his customers happy. Tammy is truly an Event Coordinator who knows how to fade into the background while being right in the middle of where she needs to be! They are a well oiled machine that know how to conduct weddings and meet the expectations and desires of their guest. ABSOLUTELY 11/10, 5 stars+, exceed expectations regardless of the metric being used.

The Barns at Mattaponi Springs was better than we could have ever expected and was the perfect venue for our wedding. From our very first tour of the Barns to our wedding weekend, everything was flawless. Tammy went above and beyond our expectations to make sure everything ran smoothly. We could not have dreamed of a better wedding venue!

I absolutely loved this venue. You can have your family/friends stay on the property with you for your wedding weekend and you get to choose from multiple locations for your ceremony and reception + contingency plans. We used Tammy as our day of coordinator and she was PHENOMENAL. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the industry and knows exactly what she is doing. She made sure everything leading up to and the actual event went off without a hitch!

I cannot rave enough about this venue, Tammy & her team. I booked this venue over a year before my wedding and before it was complete because I could just see the vision and the beauty that this place would have. I loved just how many options were available for ceremony, reception, and even staying the weekend - to make each event completely unique. Tammy was there every step of the way to answer questions, and the week leading up, she was fully available to help right up to the moment of the wedding. My guests could not stop talking about the beauty and the hospitality of this venue!

This is a great wedding venue! The barn is gorgeous and relatively new and the grounds/facilities are very nice. The guest houses are also beautiful. The wedding went very smoothly and no detail was overlooked!
