I wanted a venue that was different from the typically wedding venue. In Charlottesville most weddings are at wineries or country clubs. I am not an outdoor person and I really didn't want to have to depend on the weather. The Jefferson as an old theater gave so much instant personality to the wedding and the location on the downtown mall is so convenient.
Devon, the event coordinator for The Jefferson, was so helpful. She accommodated our multiple visits always on the weekends since we live out of town. She even put together a beautiful sign for out from that perfectly matched all our décor. She was always responsive to e-mails.
Tons of space to accommodate large weddings. Great bar areas and The Jefferson provides all alcohol, bartenders and security.
