Montfair Resort Farm

nd a part of the family. We booked the venue for the entire weekend (Friday to Sunday) and had our guests stay onsite. Besides the beautiful views and welcoming staff, what we loved about Montfair was the ability to customize it to our desired vision. We hosted a dinner the night before, a field day the morning of, our ceremony and reception, and breakfast the day after. Every event went perfectly thanks to the Montfair staff!

with the natural beauty of the property—the mountains, the lake, and the peaceful, private atmosphere created the perfect backdrop for our celebration. The team at Montfair was wonderful to work with throughout the planning process. They were responsive, flexible, and genuinely invested in helping us create the day we envisioned. On the wedding day itself, everything ran so smoothly, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we felt cared for and relaxed. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the views and the atmosphere—it really felt like an intimate getaway for everyone. Having the option of on-site lodging made the experience even more special, since friends and family could spend the whole weekend together in such a gorgeous place. We’re so grateful we chose Montfair Resort Farm. It’s a venue full of natural charm, warm people, and unforgettable memories. We would recommend it to any couple looking for a stunning and stress-free wedding venue in Virginia.

r guests. The setting is absolutely gorgeous. We got married in June 2025 and did have to move our ceremony under the tent due to rain, but still got wonderful pictures in the ceremony field before the storm and by the lake after. We are hugely into food and we loved being able to pick any caterer for the venue. Victoria and her team were wonderful to work with. All of the onsite staff for the weekend were kind and helpful. Montfair is truly a special place!

uring that we had all planning holes filled leading into the final month. We booked a two-day weekend at Montfair, which allowed us to hold the rehearsal and set up for the reception the day before. The addition of the permanent tents, lighting, and games allowed for simple decorative touches. Between the mountain views and the lakefront with a bonfire, family and friends continue to compliment the natural beauty of Montfair! We got married early August 2025. With it being summer, we were worried about the heat; however, the tents/tree cover offered the perfect amount of relief during the cocktail hour/reception. We had about 75 guests, using 11 round tables inside, which was fairly comfortable. Dave was super helpful in preparing the venue grounds each day, and Robin Anne seamlessly integrated the tiki lights and bonfire into each night. We could not have asked for a better venue to make our weekend perfect!

l to celebrate with us, so having everyone stay at the cottages was one of the best parts!

able to take the canoes out on the water, and those canoe photos are some of my most cherished of our newlywed shots :) It was an absolutely perfect day. The bonfire was awesome too! Only wish we could have carried on at the bonfire longer!

worried about the process of picking a venue but Victoria was so helpful with the process and worked around our schedules to fit us in a tour when we were back in Virginia. She was always available through email and phone and was very responsive. As for the venue itself, there are too many good things to say! I recommend getting at least the 2 day wedding weekend so you know your wedding will be the priority and you can start getting things set up early. I also recommend booking all of the cabins; first for the priority people then allowing guests to claim them, they go fast because all the guests want to be on location. This is really important because we were told Ubers typically won't come out that far. There are multiple ceremony sites throughout the venue so you have plenty of say in what you want your wedding to look like. The lodge is also such a perfect place for the reception, including a massive deck for partying. The pictures and pricing (Charlottesville is so expensive) cannot be beat and we can't wait to return again. GET MARRIED HERE!!!

bins are so cute and fully stocked. There is so much todo on the property and they are not far from breweries/wineries, etc. Our wedding was absolutely perfect at Montfair and we can not rave enough about this place and people!

Victoria was great to work with! She was quick to respond to all our emails and answer all our questions. She was really organized and so helpful! She really helped us plan the perfect wedding. We could not recommend Montfair more!

. When it all came to life and our guests got to experience what we had been planning and be part of all the different spaces it was just magical. It offers the classic Charlottesville views with the blue ridge mountains in the background, the green pastures, and fence lines, and then feelings of nature under the trees, the lake, and the deck space and lodge were excellent for having indoor and outdoor offerings. It was the perfect mix of spaces and a relaxed outdoor vibe that we were going for. Our guests were wowed by it all. We booked the entire weekend so we had events Friday and Saturday, our friends stayed in all of the cabins, and we stayed in the main Beauchamp House with our dog. It was all perfect and highly recommend booking the full weekend if you can - for the price and value it's unbeatable. Other venues we considered would have been the same price for just 8 hours on Saturday that we paid for the entire weekend. Working with Victoria and the Montfair team was fantastic, we got lots of great ideas from her and they were open and accommodating to what we wanted.

mpy “resort”.

went out to tour the space multiple times, and the Montfair staff (especially Victoria) were accommodating and willing to let us see the space as many times as we needed in order to feel confident! We rented all cabins and the venue space for the entire weekend so that our wedding party and families could stay on site with us, which was absolutely worth it and honestly very affordable for what you get! It ended up raining on the actual wedding day, but it was unclear what the weather would be; Montfair was flexible with setting up chairs and a tent a day beforehand just in case, and it was a relief to have the tent set up when it did end up raining! We got many compliments from guests on the venue space, and the casual but beautiful vibe on Montfair was exactly what we were looking for. I'd recommend Montfair as a wedding location to anyone!

initially already booked for the year, but they took a chance on us and let us have Thanksgiving weekend-- the latest wedding they've done in a given year. It was everything we could have asked for and more. We had friends coming in from all over the world, so having the cottages on site was absolutely perfect. We had the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and send-off brunch all in the same location. It was extremely convenient. The location is absolutely stunning-- the mountains provide a perfect backdrop, and there is a gorgeous lake for waterfront photos. The bridal suite is perfect for gorgeous getting-ready photos. The team at Montfair is the greatest part of all. These are the coolest, most down-to-earth folks in the wedding business, a very rare gem. We were able to choose our own vendors, and the team at Montfair was always there to answer questions from myself, my husband, our friends and families. They were always so kind and helpful. Our guests and bridal party had a blast, and so did we. It was the perfect, stress free weekend-- not a common feat in this industry! Could not recommend them more.

dding party stay in the Montfair cottages with us. There are so many thoughtful/unique touches (pictures in canoe, Japanese lanterns, bonfire) and the views are incredible. Montfair made sure the whole weekend went perfectly. Victoria was so incredibly helpful throughout our wedding planning process and went above and beyond to make sure we had all our questions answered. The staff at Montfair were all so helpful and kind. They made sure that the chairs/games/bonfire were all set up as we asked. Seriously, get married at this magical place! We can't wait to come back and stay in the cabins again to relive our wedding weekend!

he cabins on site and wouldn’t have done it any other way. The bonfire was a great addition for our guests to enjoy. The only thing that caused some negativity was the staff member who was there. She made us feel rushed and kept reminding us when we needed to leave as if we weren’t aware of it. We payed to have the whole venue for 2 nights and the fire is scheduled until midnight. They reminded us about 5 times when we needed to be cleaned up and out even after we stated we understood the first time. The fire was almost out at 10 and when we asked for more wood, the person made sure we knew again we were to be gone at midnight. Then they gave us yet another warning for 30 minutes. I felt that they were treating us like children and did not appreciate being rushed out of my own wedding that we spent a lot of our hard earned money on just because they booked one the next day. I still give it 5 stars because it was absolutely perfect in all other aspects! Victoria Sours was amazing throughout the whole process and the Beauchamp House was perfect for the bridal party to get ready in. The cabins were perfect for our wedding party too! My guests were all saying it was the most fun wedding they’d ever been to!

t fully "rustic" (just not our vibe). Montfair fit that bill beautifully -- we loved having the option to have our ceremony in the field surrounded by the fall colors, or down by the lake. We opted for the field, but also made use of the lake space by utilizing their bonfire. Our guests also loved the venue for its beauty, space, and the bonfire too. The inside of the event lodge (where we had our reception) can be decorated in so many ways, it's a very versatile space and ended up being exactly what we were looking for. Our wedding was around 60 guests, so we had lots of options (the field, the lake, the lodge, and the large tented decks). Highly recommend this venue! (There are also on site accommodations, including a house we were able to use to get ready in. This is a huge plus for those who wish to get ready on site and who might have family coming in from out of town! It was super convenient for us!) Victoria and Lisa were very accommodating during our entire wedding planning process, and we appreciate their responsiveness and customer service!

e both from flat areas, so I knew I wanted a very "Virginia" vibe as the backdrop to our wedding as a homage to the state where we met and fell in love. Within minutes, I came across Montfair. I instantly knew from the little thumbnail image that popped up in the search results that this was the venue for us. As I clicked and scrolled through more pictures, reviews, and package pricing, I became more convinced. However, I thought for sure since it was my dream venue, it must be the dream venue for many others, and was hesitant to reach out in case I received disappointing news that they were fully booked. After touring alternatives and not finding a good fit, I re-searched Montfair and decided to submit an inquiry through their website. Victoria reached out to us within 48 hours with the good news that there were still some dates available in our time frame, so we got to work scheduling a viewing. From the get-go, Victoria was very flexible and pleasant to work with, and she was able to work around me and my husband's crazy work schedules to find a time that worked for us all. At the viewing, Victoria took time to review some paperwork with us and answer questions, and followed up with us 2 business days after our visit to thank us for visiting . When we decided to sign on, there were some technical difficulties with getting the e-contract to us that caused us to technically not sign within the time frame they held the dates for us, but the Montfair team was very understanding and quick to find a solution so we were still able to sign and get our ideal date. We initially signed for a one day (Saturday) wedding since there were already events the day before and after planned, but when the event on Friday cancelled, Montfair reached out to us to see if we'd be interested in reserving that day. We reserved Friday as well and are so glad we did. We got to enjoy the venue for one more day by having our rehearsal dinner there and having the wedding party and family spend the night before the wedding on-site, so that we were all together and ready to prepare the morning of the main event. The guests all loved their accommodations, with one of my bridesmaids booking her next visit as soon as we arrived. The Beauchamp House was the perfect "getting ready" venue, with lots of natural lighting and space. The on-site staff who was present for our wedding, Ayla, was a welcome presence, as she made sure we were all comfortable and answered any questions the guests had during their stay. All in all, Montfair was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. From planning to breaking down, the staff was willing to work to get us the best experience possible (and didn't even bat an eye when 2 of our guests fell in the lake and got a canoe stuck). I got the mountain pictures and rustic lodge feel I wanted, and the guests enjoyed their cabins and the activities available to them. We used the inside of the lodge for our reception dinner and the covered deck as our cocktail area and dance floor, but the space can be set up however the couple wants and function well. I can't wait to return here to celebrate our anniversary next year (as a bonus, couples who are married here get a discount when they book a cabin stay). I can't imagine if we had our wedding anywhere else.

a stunning location, and our guests were in awe. From the moment we set foot on the property I fell in love. It is absolutely gorgeous, with sweeping views of mountains and beautiful scenery with trees and wildflowers. This is an oasis of beauty and tranquility. What we loved the most was how it had the most epic views, but had such a low-key vibe. My vision for my wedding was if Backpacker Magazine and Vogue had a baby. That’s what I wanted. Gorgeous nature setting with elegant touches. If you are into nature and the outdoors this is where you should get married. We had a stunning ceremony with the most amazing weather in August. The cocktail hour and reception was awesome outside and on a gorgeous deck that was tented with lights (this comes with the venue and they don’t charge extra!!). We had a small wedding of 50 guests and our kid guests were obsessed with the lake, hopping in the canoes and catching fish as their parents enjoyed wine from the deck watching them. We had a bonfire, and it made the whole event just feel so special. Every interaction we had with Victoria at Montfair was spectacular. She is a clear communicator, and is so genuine, authentic and friendly. She truly wanted to help us, and let our weekend be “ours.” Our close family and bridal party loved being on-site in the cabins. She let us use any vendor we wanted, helped make recommendations when we asked, and made our guests feel special. We are just blown away by this entire weekend and site. Stop looking, get married here. One last note! The first time we went to see Montfair, we had scheduled 2 other venues to look at on the same day which were wineries. We saw Montfair, met Victoria and loved it. We left and went to a local winery. As soon as we pulled in I knew I didn’t want to get married somewhere like that. It felt like a cattle call. They basically handed us a schedule of what our day-of-timeline would be and nothing was personal. As soon as we left that site we called Victoria to see if we could come back. She kindly said yes, we went back and secured our wedding date and weekend.

wedding celebration with all of our family and friends for when he returned from a military deployment. We found Montfair through a Google search, as we knew we wanted to host our celebration in the greater Charlottesville area but wanted a venue that allowed outside food and beverages, as we had dreamed of having pizza and wanted to use a family connection in the beverage industry for drinks/alcohol. Montfair Resort Farm was the first and only venue we visited, not simply because of the beautiful and unique grounds (where else can you find a gorgeous ceremony field AND a cozy, rustic lodge overlooking ample grass for lawn games, as well as a calm, clear lake? Not to mention on-site accommodations for all of our HUGE wedding party of 26, plus our families!), but also because of our amazing tour with Victoria. Although Montfair does not have an official on-site wedding coordinator (they do provide day-of event supervisors), Victoria goes above and beyond; she was always available during the 15 months from booking to our event, very much functioning as a coordinator in helping me plan our special weekend. She asks the right questions at the right times in the planning process to ensure your weekend is everything you'd envisioned - and in our case, more than we'd hoped for! - because she really cares about her couples. Both of our families, as well as most of our guests, have been gushing about how awesome our wedding was, many citing the amazing venue as the best they'd ever been to (which is especially notable since our guests came from all over the country). While I am so happy to have enjoyed such a wonderful day, I am going to miss emailing and meeting with Victoria, as she is not only amazing at her job, but an amazing person. Thank you so much, Victoria & Montfair Team!

p-like which was perfect for us.

ive, and helped make our dream wedding come true! We felt so supported by the staff, especially Victoria who was always available to answer our questions leading up to and during our wedding weekend. I would definitely recommend Montfair to anyone who is looking for the outdoor wedding of their dreams.

lusion of our incredible wedding weekend, Victoria Sours and the rest of Montfair's staff went above and beyond for us.Victoria helped us choose vendors, structure our weekend, and navigate any and all questions and requests. She kindly helped remind us of deadlines to keep things flowing, and always communicated promptly. When it came to the big weekend, Montfair made the cottages look so welcoming, and the lodge was beyond beautiful. When we were hit with crazy weather, they were adaptable and helped us take the right measures to make people comfortable. Montfair delivered everything we asked for and more as a wedding venue, and we're so thankful to Victoria, Isla, and the rest of the staff. The stay at Montfair provided a refreshing escape for our guests and THE most memorable experience for Sam and me! We recommend it with all our hearts!

ning brunch. We couldn't have asked for a better place to get married and can't wait to take our kids there in the future!

orable and cozy. I knew that the venue was going to be sweet and cute, but I never anticipated how gorgeous and sophisticated it could feel. The team was so accommodating, and exceptional. They moved tables for us, set up games, and so many things were included. This place set the vibe for the weekend, and no one could stop talking about how special of a place it was. Such an amazing decision!

nd the rest of the Montfair staff were incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, from visiting Montfair (all the way back in December 2018!), to postponing as a result of the pandemic (our original date was scheduled in June 2020), to working out all the details leading up to the final date. We really couldn't have asked for a better place to get married!

for the guests to do. The Montfair staff is stellar in making sure everything goes according to plan and your day is exactly how you imagine. They were extremely thoughtful and flexible during the pandemic which says a lot about how much they care about their couples. If you're thinking about Montfair, it's the best choice!!!

reception, and off everyone goes. Thanks to the flexibility of the space and the rental packages at Montfair, we were able to build an experience - a peaceful retreat amid the bucolic Blue Ridge, with adorable cottages onsite, campfire s'mores, kickball, dance classes, craft workshops, cooking and wilderness survival lessons, a true blank slate for any of our silly ideas. And then, poof, we had the best of both worlds - a stunning backdrop for our ceremony and standard wedding dance floor throw down. Montfair's team truly care about the success of your event and offers thorough resources to guide you along the way, but the freedom to paint your own canvas when the weekend comes around. Note: if you are looking for a full service venue where an onsite team is responsible for all furniture shifts and managing guest-facing elements, this might not be a fit without a super hands-on catering partner. Our guests had a wonderful time and kept remarking what a special place this was to gather and celebrate our next adventure. Additionally, we were grateful for a variety of options for rain and wind plans.

dding at Montfair. From our initial communication with Victoria (the event manager) all the way to the multiple visits we had, final walkthrough, and our wedding weekend everything was great. They communicated with us really well. Cabins were nice, and the Beauchamp House was such a delight to get ready in. But most importantly, that amazing view! Despite the rain on our wedding day, all guests commented about the amazing mountain views and how the lodge was so sweet and cozy. We would absolutely choose Montfair Resort Farm any day.

l the cabins for guests and stayed the whole weekend, our guests loved the canoes, fishing, and bikes available. The bonfire after the reception was the absolute cherry on top, I couldn't have imagined a more perfect venue!

ue guide and she even put out photo books of other same-sex couples who had used the venue, which made us feel so welcomed. Once we got to planning, she was readily available to help with vendor recommendations and venue details. Our wedding at Monfair was the most beautiful weekend we could have imagined - the entire staff was friendly and responsive, the cabins are cozy and wonderful, and the venue is just all around gorgeous. Getting to have all our wedding events in the same location from Friday to Sunday made things so easy on us, and really made us feel like we picked the right venue. Plus, our guests loved being able to stay on-site, the mountain views, and the outdoor activities (especially the bonfire!). We couldn't recommend it enough!!

COVID we pushed it back to 2021, and throughout the entire process of planning and replanning, etc. the staff at Montfair has been nothing but supportive, flexible, and understanding. They were quick to respond via email or phone whenever we had questions, and incredibly accommodating in every way. And that's just the beginning of why we are so thankful we got married here. The pictures don't do justice how beautiful this venue is. Between the mountain views and the lake and the beautiful forest that surrounds it, it was just the most beautiful day. We also loved that our bridal party and family could stay at the venue, which was not only just convenient, but so much fun! We can't say enough how perfect our wedding day was, and we can't wait to come back to stay at Montfair as guests in the future!

Best of all, I don’t think there is a more beautiful ceremony setting than the Montfair ceremony field. The blue ridge mountain backdrop is stunning. We received many compliments from guests on the venue.

hole weekend and it was absolutely the right choice. It was so nice to have all of our family and wedding party on-site for the entire weekend, and we were able to spend so much more time together than we would have at a more traditional venue. Victoria is the best -- she is organized, flexible, and responsive -- and the rest of the staff was incredibly helpful in making sure our vision for the weekend was achieved. As an LGBT+ wedding, we were concerned with selecting a venue that would treat us like any other couple, and every single person at Montfair showed us nothing but love. Montfair really was the perfect venue for our laid back, casual wedding weekend.

reamed up a more perfect location - every spot on the property is absolutely beautiful. The drive to the venue is also lovely and scenic (we had our guests download directions ahead of time and nobody had issues getting there). The venue itself is wonderful. We had our ceremony outdoors, with a mountain backdrop, and our reception indoors/outdoors, at the lodge. There was something for everyone. You could stay inside the lodge, move out to the deck, play lawn games, enjoy the bonfire, look out over the lake, go for a walk, or just catch your breath in your cabin. It was the perfect mix of options and activities to bring people together for an idyllic weekend, no matter the personality type. If you’re looking for a stunning, outdoorsy venue with a lot of flexibility, this is IT! Victoria worked with us before and during the event and helped make planning and preparation easy. She was calm, organized, and supportive throughout the entire process! We would highly recommend Montfair to anyone looking to get married in the Shenandoah area!!!
