About this vendor
Waverly Estate is a beautiful venue that sits on eight acres of land in the town of Lunenburg, Virginia. The circa 1838 home, church, and stunning new event building with a greenhouse feel are right next to a 200-acre cattle farm, providing whimsical and garden vibes. The 200-year-old hackberry tree that sits on the property is one of the most favored ceremony spots. The grounds of Waverly Estate are filled with towering magnolia trees, crepe myrtles, and weeping willows. This natural scenery provides a magical background for any wedding event.

Waverly Estate was the PERFECT venue for us. Absolutely gorgeous property with everything you need right there. The owners are extremely attentive and helpful, not to mention super...
sweet! There are different ceremony options in case the weather doesn't cooperate, and the reception space can be opened or closed. The reception space was the big seller for us as it is gorgeous and a large open space, and we had about 220 guests. The two large trees on the property were gorgeous, especially for a spring wedding. We did the all inclusive package for the weekend which gave us a lot of flexibility with setting things up and taking them down. I can not say enough great things about this venue, and I highly recommend booking this venue!
Waverly Estate was absolutely amazing. My husband and I are so grateful we decided to have our wedding here! We decided to do the all-inclusive package for the weekend and it was t...
he best choice. All of the vendors included in this package were very professional and made the day go so smoothly. The venue itself is so beautiful, not to mention that amazing back up options in case of bad weather. We would recommend Waverly Estate to anyone. Everyone we worked with was so nice and so flexible!
My husband and I were married at Waverly Estate on January 17, 2026, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience. We were incredibly blessed with the weather—51 ...
degrees and sunny—especially considering a massive ice storm hit just six days later!
From the very beginning, Sarah was absolutely incredible to work with. We chose the Estate Package, and it was worth every penny. Everything was so well organized, and having access to the venue from Friday through Sunday made the entire weekend feel relaxed and intentional. The package included breakfast pastries and yogurt the morning of the wedding, plus a hot, plated breakfast on Sunday morning for our bridal party who stayed with us for the weekend. The French toast casserole was amazing and such a thoughtful touch.
The estate itself is full of charm and character. We held our ceremony in the chapel, enjoyed cocktail hour outside on the patio thanks to the beautiful weather, and then moved into the greenhouse for the reception—each space was stunning and flowed perfectly into the next.
The staff was phenomenal, and the entire day ran flawlessly. Sarah and her team truly know what they’re doing, and their experience shows in every detail. We felt completely taken care of and were able to just enjoy our day. I cannot recommend Waverly Estate enough—it is a truly special place.
I highly recommend this venue! Rachel and Sarah are THE BEST to work with! Not only is the venue beautiful, but the property has so many beautiful places to take wedding photos. ...
Having the opportunity to be there the whole weekend takes a lot of stress off the day of the wedding!
I honestly couldn’t have picked a better venue than Waverly Estate. There’s no venue like it that gives you the flexibility of coming in on Friday & staying until Sunday. We had no...
worries about clean up after the reception or scrambling the morning of between a hotel & the venue for getting ready. On top of all of that, the all inclusive package that Waverly has is NEXT LEVEL. I didn’t have to search for vendors because Waverly had them already available & built into my package. It was an absolute dream to have one less thing to stress about. Their coordinator, Rachel, is absolutely amazing too. She answered every question I had & was the best cheerleader for us on wedding day. She had everything completely organized & made my vision come true for our wedding. My wedding was a dream come true, in huge part to the team at Waverly Estate.
Have your wedding at Waverly Estate! I cannot say enough how grateful we are that we had our wedding at Waverly Estate. We wanted a venue with a natural landscape and a glass house...
/greenhouse type building and luckily we found Waverly Estate! Not only is the entire grounds GORGEOUS, the Waverly team is professional, easy to work with, and does business in a way I wish most people would, especially in the wedding industry. I can truly say, Waverly Estate will try to save you money unlike some other places/vendors will. You have so many options as to how you hold your ceremony. Waverly Estate works to ensure you have as easy a wedding as possible! I did not realize how having a venue with a house on the grounds for the whole weekend makes everything so much easier for the set up and clean up for the wedding. It also gave us the opportunity to spend a weekend with our closest friends and family, instead of just the wedding day. This all-inclusive venue has an AMAZING in-house caterer (Fuqua School), amazing florist & wedding designer (Hunter and Marigold), cake bakers (Confections of a Cake), DJ (Cluster Entertainment), and an amazing event coordinator, MaryJean. MaryJean really made our wedding planning easy. She was incredibly responsive with all our questions leading up to the wedding. She made sure we were on track to have everything prepped for the wedding (my husband and I did the wedding planning and didn’t hire a wedding planner) and she took care of so much on top of coordinating our wedding day! MaryJean and the Waverly team really helped to slow things down for us on our wedding day. MaryJean is so calm and chill, yet highly organized and proactive, that her demeanor would calm the family/bride (me)/etc too. My husband and I never felt rushed and we felt completely taken care of. Things like making sure we ate and bringing us food, and asking us if we needed a few more minutes for something helped so much. She was actively ensuring we were doing what we want on our wedding day. I want to go on and on about her but you may not read this whole review lol. I honestly don’t know how she coordinates every wedding and rehearsal dinner at Waverly Estate. Waverly made everything easy by booking vendors for us. We were so happy with all the vendors Waverly set us up with as part of our package (the Estate Package). The only thing we got outside of their list of vendors was a Photographer and Officiant. We got the most bang for our buck here! I’m so ecstatic to call myself a Waverly Bride :)
This is an excellent historic venue. We chose the all inclusive package. The venue for Friday at noon til Sunday at noon. Included the caterer, the coordinator, and the DJ. There...
is a Chapel on site as a back up. Which luckily we only used for the rehearsal dinner, the grounds are beautiful and the reception area is heated which was great, because the weather turned cold. All and all. A great place, excellent service. Highly recommend ! As mother of the bride, they helped take a lot of the worry and stress off of me. Love it. ♥️😁
It’s been a year since our wedding and we still are in awe of the amazing day we had! Sarah and Colin made everything so easy and it was completely stress free!! We even had to res...
chedule our wedding due to Covid but Sarah took care of everything for us! From the moment we arrived to when we left we could not say anything but great things about Sarah, Colin and the rest of the staff!!
My husband and I got married at the Waverly Estate in June. I don’t even know where to begin to thank Sarah, Colin, and the rest of their amazing staff. My family and I had a compl...
etely worry-free weekend, and everything was perfect from beginning to end because of Sarah. All of the services offered by the venue are wonderful, everyone is so professional/easy to work with, and Sarah knows how to make you feel special. Sarah is truly amazing - from making me feel comfortable and even giving me a little pep talk before heading down the aisle - she is meant for this job. If you are looking for the perfect venue to marry the love of your life, this is it! ❤️
Amazing, accommodating, easy to work with, and gorgeous!
Sarah and Collin are absolute superstars and their venue is incredible! We had our wedding at Waverly Estate on October 13, right after Hurricane Michael. The hurricane caused a lo...
t of damage in the area, and it completely took down the tent at the venue. Sarah and Collin were able to secure a new tent for our wedding Saturday night, and they had the venue looking spotless by the time I had gotten there on Friday afternoon.
These two will work tirelessly to make sure your day goes smoothly, and you can tell that they really put a lot of time and effort into making their clients happy. I HIGHLY recommend this venue to anyone who is looking. Thanks again guys!
Our wedding was July 1st, and it was absolutely perfect thanks to Sarah and Collin! Sarah answered any questions we had, was helpful in suggesting vendors, and made the rehearsal a...
nd wedding both run so smoothly. Plus, the venue is absolutely beautiful and one of a kind. Highly recommend Waverly Estate!!!
This venue has IT ALL. It’s the perfect country setting with alllllll the intricate details. Sarah and Collin are the best! They take every ounce of worry or stress from you and ta...
ke the best care of you and your guests. I recommend this venue x 1000! Couldn’t have imagined it being any easier or any more perfect!
My husband and I got married at Waverly Estate on March 31, 2018. Our day was so wonderful and it was only made that way with the help and dedication of Sarah and Collin. Sarah was...
always there for a listening ear or advice during my wedding planning. They both worked tremendously hard to make our big day so special from day 1. Having all the accommodations and help of Sarah and Collin really made our day less stressful and that much more enjoyable for us, our family, and bridal party!
The Waverly Estate is every Bride's DREAM! I truly cannot say enough about how spectacular this venue and its owners are. First of all, the venue is absolutely breathtaking. From t...
he 1800s church, weeping willows, wooden swing, and old farm house, there are picture perfect opportunities everywhere you look. Second, the value of the property is unreal. They have EVERYTHING you need - tables, chairs, tent with concrete flooring, dance floor, lights, bridal suite with mirrors, grooms saloon, and space for you and your wedding party to crash (did I mention they make you breakfast?)! That in of it self is enough of a reason to book! However, last but not least, the true value and wonder of this venue are the owners, Sarah and Collin. They go ABOVE AND BEYOND for their couples. Sarah acts as your day of coordinator, which is truly a saving grace. She did MUCH more than expected, and I can't thank her enough for it. Her Husband helps her with all of the weekend accommodations, which is incredibly helpful and puts you at ease seeing their teamwork. These newlyweds have thought of everything for this venue to make it utter perfection for each couple. If I am being honest, the owners themselves are worth the price alone, without anything else the venue offers. I am telling you ladies and gentlemen, this is the place you want to say, "I do" to!
