The Train Station Event Venue

at couldn’t make it upstairs but we were prepared to have plates made for them. It did present a problem for getting speeches and dances getting missed. What was offered was a time frame of 4-8 for the wedding and they allotted 2 hours for set up and 1 hour to take down. We purchased 3 hours prior to the set up allotted time so we could set up and have plenty of time to dress there. We loved the barn in all it’s rustic charm. I’m told the food was amazing (However we didn’t get to eat anything that night...unfortunately it was thrown out even though we had brought Tupperware and were told afterwards.) Seriously people are still talking about the food. We were told that we would have food to take home but I’m guessing that’s only if you opt to stay at the cabin but we put that money towards paying for the extra hours. I would suggest using the extra hours to make start time earlier to make the wedding longer so that it’s not rushed and you actually get to eat the food and do any cute wedding traditions you had in mind. I thought Amanda was nice. Patient in the few visits we made with essential people like the DJ etc. I wasn’t super impressed with the response time for any questions and typically required my husband to check back on things. However the photographer recommended was amazing and the staff was beyond helpful and all of our guests were pleased with how quickly they handle everything. I got sick towards the end of the night and the bartender was beyond kind and went out of his way to equip me with some ginger ale and made sure to check how I was after the event. If you book this vendor I would be sure to dot all your I’s and cross all your T’s to make sure that everything is going to go according to your plan since it’s your big day. Don’t leave anything open ended. We were told at first when we toured that we would have the venue for the day but we didn’t, we were told they would not only adjust the headcount the day of whether we were over or under so we paid for about over 10 more guests than we had, and we were also told that since the Bride and Groom never get a chance to eat food would be set aside for us but that also didn’t happen so I’m super glad we ordered subs while we got dressed. Don’t get me wrong it was still a beautiful day and I still married the man of my dreams but I’m a firm believer in reviews and helping the next review reader tweak her day with what I think is helpful info. Good luck Brides! May the odds ever be in your favor!

the wedding went, and how delicious the food was! Amanda is so accommodating and responsive to work with that it made wedding planning a breeze! Couldn’t have picked a better venue!

venue.

mely matter and were so much help to us, because of them our wedding day was as stress free as possible. I highly recommend this venue because the food is to die for and you’re getting your money’s worth to have the perfect wedding. It truly could not have been a better day. Thanks to all of the staff at the Kyle House as well for being so kind and helpful. We strongly recommend choosing this venue for your wedding.

lly know what they're doing. The venue is beautiful. This is really THE place to have your wedding. I would get married here again if I could. Thank you guys so much!

ng is so warm and romantic. The planning process was very smooth thanks to the help of Jim and Amanda. I would recommend this place to anyone getting married!

need to hire Michelle as your wedding planner because she keeps everyone on task and will also be your right hand lady for anything and everything you need. The venue is perfect for 30-120 people and very intimate. Everyone that came to our wedding was so impressed with the Kyle House and raved about it all night. The food is great too, just make sure to do a tasting because some items can be a bit too spicy for some guests. Everything here is seamless and easy. You will love it here as well!

sive. This venue was so incredible and unique. We got so many compliments on it from our guests. It is reasonably priced as well, they don't nickel and dime you like so many other venues do. If you are looking for a laid back unique wedding this venue is amazing.

a married couple!! Could not be happier!!

d there are so many places to take amazing photos. The ceremony space looks just like all the photos they have on their site. Beautiful. The only downside is that when we went to get all our leftover food, they had thrown it all away :(

he most romantic space I have ever set foot inside. The reception space was welcoming and charming. The food received rave reviews from guests. Highly recommend to everyone!

d for free that were very nice silver candle holders. They couldn't make a cake, but they made us the most delicious bread pudding ever with whiskey sauce that I wanted to drink. The menu was broad and by all accounts delicious, and they were able to accommodate both myself and my sister who needed super special meals due to dietary restrictions (celiac vegetarian and vegetarian no nightshades). Having a clear price ahead of time made it easy for us to budget and the prices were extremely reasonable. We couldn't be happier with our choice and happily recommend the Kyle House! I'll also note that having a space that doesn't require a seating chart was clutch. I'd have hated making one and the last minute cancellations would have been the end of my sanity- no problem at the Kyle House.

delicious! Communicating and working with Jim and Amanda was always easy, and they helped make the wedding day a wonderful success. They also provided a list of recommended vendors which was incredibly helpful! We would definitely recommend The Kyle House to any couple looking for a nice and affordable wedding!

and kept everything running so smoothly and the transitions were so seamless. We got so many compliments from all our guests on how great the food was-- some even said it was the best wedding food they'd ever had! It was a beautiful, intimate day and I cannot imagine having spent it anywhere else. The wedding night cabin was a very nice bonus too. We were exhausted, so it was so convenient to cross the street and have somewhere super cozy to spend the night.

easier, more seamless, more welcoming, or professional. Outstanding food, attentive staff, and a charming venue make for a wonderful celebration. Set in the quaint town of Fincastle VA, could Robert Kyle have imagined what happiness his home would be bringing 130 years later? Bonus tip – book event coordinator Michelle for your day, her service is well worth your time and money.

and it was so relaxing (minus missing toilet papaer! oops!) The crew even had packed up food for us and had it waiting at the cabin! SOOO sweet! We did not like that a tour was held of the venue while me, the groom, and our parties were getting ready.

ed feel for our guests without feeling too casual. The chapel space was perfect size for our wedding and a gorgeous backdrop for our non-denominational ceremony. Having everything for the evening all in one place and already included in our rental package (furniture, linens, etc.) made the planning a very smooth process. Our guests raved about the food (as did we) and many said they had never experienced a venue this unique. Also, getting to spend the night in the cozy cabin right by the venue was a great way to end the evening. Working with Amanda was an absolute delight, and while Jim can come off a little intense, he knows exactly what is best for the evening. They both were very responsive to any questions that we had and were a big help in planning for both the ceremony and reception. We can’t thank them enough for making our big day so special!

s coordinate things. Jim runs the kitchen, and their food is delicious. Michelle, their optional on site day of coordinator was also amazing. She was very helpful with making the schedule, decorating the house, coordinating other vendors and making our day perfect. We could not recommend this place enough.

to mention they do the catering (which is the #1 thing our guests raved about)

res, and the entire property is on the shabby side. Outside of chapel is dirty peeling paint. Inside chapel was quaint, but included exposed screws, birds nest. Food was adequate. I guess you get what you pay for. The bride and groom seemed very satisfied, and that is ultimately what counts. Most of staff I encountered were not very friendly or at all helpful to a mere guest. Balcony areas very small and not safe for small children.

y when we first fell in love with the venue. We consider ourselves to be very simple and easy going people; The Kyle House offered us the opportunity to have a beautiful, Instagramable wedding without having to pay hundreds of dollars for decorations. The entire venue is its own perfect decoration, however adding your own special wedding touch really sets it off! We absolutely loved the intimate, rustic appeal the barn offered with the wooden flooring and walls and dim candlelit lighting. While it may seem small, they can comfortably fit 130+ guests. The Kyle House itself is set up perfectly for encouraging guests to move around and mingle. We had a live band set up in the main reception area, which is an old store. There was ample seating and space for dancing. The style and set up of the bar was an absolute hit with our guests who are still talking about it. It was somewhat chilly on our wedding day so not much time was spent by guests in the courtyard but the Schaals have really done a lot to create such a uniquely beautiful area for hanging out. Now...THE FOOD...the food was absolutely amazing!! Our wedding was at 1:30pm, therefore instead of a plated meal we offered hors d'oeuvres consisting of pulled pork BBQ sliders, blackened tiger shrimp, cavatappi alfredo with spinach and parmesan, chicken salad, and an assortment of dips, cheeses, fruit, etc. It was so convenient being able to book a beautiful venue + caterer all in one! I can honestly say that we did not run in to one single mishap or issue during the ceremony or reception. Days later I expected to hear a horror story or two but all I was told was how shocking it was things went so well. I attribute this all to Michelle Day, the wedding coordinator for The Kyle House who is beyond familiar with venue and an absolute all-star at what she does. She sat down with us and hashed out all of the day-of details and was able to put together a flawless timeline for the day, while also guaranteeing that any special requests we had were met. If you book the Kyle House, do yourself a favor and request the help of Michelle!! Don’t try to plan it all on your own with the idea that you can handle it...I started out with that mindset and after the first talk with Michelle I quickly realized that I would have ran our wedding in the ground without her. Jim and Amanda Schaal have a beautiful venue, wonderful food, and an incredible staff who do all things possible to meet your needs. They were very accommodating and easy to work with. If you don’t host your wedding at The Kyle House you should still highly consider using one of their other venues as I can assure your complete satisfaction. Hannah & Clayton Benson

the venue and so did we!

one calls and emails and will sit down with you as many times as you would like to discuss your big day. The venue is incredibly beautiful and unique! There are new renovations in the barn that really add value to the venue. They are the caterers for the venue as well ... and it's worth every penny! Every single guest we spoke to raved about how delicious the food was. We would highly recommend this venue!

dating and made sure that every detail was taken care of. It was a wonderful experience, and I will cherish it forever!

s a magical and memorable day thanks to them! Our guests are still raving about the experience weeks later.

nd The Kyle House was my first choice. The House has the a sweet rustic charm,the barn in which is considered the chapel is a slice of heaven. When you walk in, it will truly take your breath away. If you plan to have a wedding that is at least 100 people, this venue is for you. The food is absolutely amazing, the price of alcohol is very reasonable, and their house Manager, Kelly will help make your wedding move smoothly and a wealth of information. It was an easy choice to go with The Kyle House. If you have a small budget or a larger one, you will get what you pay for. I could not have had a better day. We were married October 11th, 2015 and the whole day was beautiful. I wish it would have lasted longer! I have recommended so many brides to visit this venue and experience its beauty.

tions!

to complete any of your requests. We met with them on several occasions and they even offered to buy stuff we wanted to keep it for future events--not many venues would consider doing that. The ceremony venue is very romantic and was the perfect atmosphere. The reception site/house provides a great venue for your guests. There is the bar/dance area for younger individuals but living rooms/dining rooms for elder guest to sit. The outdoor space and reception hall upstairs also provided a great place for our guests. This a GREAT place to get married!

ents on how much everyone loved this venue. It was a little over my initial budget, but TOTALLY worth it.

os yet. Totally beautiful and incredible backdrop for photos. Everyone loved experiencing our big day in this great non-traditional venue.

is add your own personal touch...or not! Everyone loved the place and could not stop talking about how great of a wedding and party it was :) Would definately recommend this place to anyone.

round the property instead of being crowded into one big room. The Kyle House offered everything and more: a cocktail bar with dance floor a ballroom where formal tables were set up 2 living room areas with couches and love seats a second floor balcony (mostly used by smokers) a lovely landscaped yard and a charming barn outback. Guests were absolutely amazed at the location!
