The celebration doesn't have to end after the reception! The best nightlife in Charlottesville can be found at The Corner! The Corner is right next to the University grounds, 5 minutes from St. Thomas Aquinas church.

There are several great bars for those who love fun, weekend bar-hopping. There is a very good chance you will see the bridesmaids and groomsmen and, who knows, maybe the bride and groom! My favorite bars are Boylan Heights, Trinity Irish Pub, and Coupes. We hope to see you there!

Monticello is the historic home of Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence. It is a World Heritage site, historic house and plantation, and a museum.

Monticello is the autobiographical masterpiece of Thomas Jefferson—designed and redesigned and built and rebuilt for more than forty years. Its gardens were a botanic showpiece, a source of food, and an experimental laboratory of ornamental and useful plants from around the world. Constructed between 1768 and 1809, it is one of the finest examples of the early Classical Revival style in the United States.
