About this vendor
Mountain Light Retreat, in Crozet, VA, is a stunning wedding venue nestled in the lush and spectacular Virginian countryside that awaits you and your beloved for an unforgettable celebration. The rural property is surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty and offers outstanding Blue Ridge Mountain vistas that will live long in the memory. It allows you and your guests to relax and unwind away from the hustle and bustle of modern life as you and your betrothed embark on the next steps of your loving journey.
The property and land were most likely first inhabited by members of the Monacan nation before various settlers discovered them and founded multiple schools and churches along the mountain range. In 1890, an Anglican clergyman, Frederick W. Neve, established his first mission church to serve the mountain people. In the following decades, an educational establishment was also constructed, and both buildings thrived until a fire in 1932. The replacement construction features the original bell from the initial Saint John the Baptist chapel.
The five-and-a-half-acre resort features several buildings and spaces with a history and an unequaled atmosphere that can comfortably accommodate overnight guests. An on-site church, complete with stacking chairs, is ideal for tying the knot. The towering trees and green pastures around Mountain Light Retreat are more than suitable for stunning photoshoot opportunities or simply taking in the outstanding natural allure of the area. You can reach out to the Mountain Light Retreat team today to learn more about hiring this unique and exceptional venue for your special day.

My experience hosting my event at Mountain Light was incredible. I had a handful of people come from cities and suburban areas who said they’d never experienced such nourishing sil...
ence. We decided to spend extra time during our event sitting outdoors and observing this beautiful silence, surrounded by majestic mountains and stunning stars. All the accommodations were wonderful and everything was clean and comfortable for our guests. The staff were very friendly and respectful of our needs. Mountain Light is a truly magical place and I will be back to host many more events.
I hosted a Paint + Sip class at Mountain Light Retreat and we had an absolutely wonderful time! The weather was perfect. We set up tables on the deck next to the church that looked...
out over the lawn and up into the mountains of the Shenandoah National Park. We listened to the sounds of a nearby stream and bird songs while painting, it was so tranquil and picturesque! The staff was so kind and very easy to communicate with. I can't wait to host another event with them! I'd recommend them for any small group gathering!
