Our October 2021 Sky Ridge Farm wedding experience was nothing short of perfect! We chose this venue over the dozens of other options in the Charlottesville area for a variety of r...easons.
First, the venue is family-owned and it shows. Haven and Kari cared deeply about the happiness of their couples. They were quick to respond to emails and texts, and were not afraid to think outside the box with us to make our vision come true. Second, even for couples like us who have vendors to do the setup/cleanup work, the all-weekend access is a HUGE advantage. We were able to go over ourselves on Friday morning to chat with the staff and finalize floor plan details with our planner, which took so much stress off of Saturday. And Sunday we were able to drop back in for our personal items rather than forcing family members to deal with everything Saturday night. Lastly, the space itself is so well done. The owners preserved all the cool aspects of the original 1800s barn while incorporating updated amenities and fixtures. It's hard to believe this place was a working cow barn ~5 years ago. The balcony overlooking the mountains, which we used for both cocktail hour and post-dinner dancing, had all our guests gushing over the views.
There are lots of things we might've done differently if we had a wedding do-over, but we would not have changed a thing about our experience with Sky Ridge Farm. Thanks Haven, Kari and Amanda for everything you did to give us such a great experience!
