The Market at Grelen Collection
Garden Greenhouse Magic Under Countryside Stars
A dreamy ethereal private haven, the Market at Grelen is like no other venue. Step into European garden magic and soak in the abundant natural beauty and earthy energy. The elaborate tree nursery and lush countryside surroundings set an enchanted bucolic scene that is flourishing, alive and breathing.
Situated on a 1,000-acre tree nursery, the beauty of this magical wedding venue lies in its rural simplicity. Exquisitely designed flexible venue spaces include an elegant clear-top event tent, the pristine Half Moon Garden, a cherished indoor-outdoor greenhouse and the historic and picturesque Bloomfield hilltop.
Host your ceremony between two grand oak trees in the Berry Field and savor 360-degree views lovingly designed to emphasize the surrounding natural beauty. A true Virginia treasure, spend some time together pre-I-do’s strolling the secluded wooded trail system through the nursery, meadows and forest over to James Madison's Montpelier Trail System.
Ceremony & Reception Venue
Framed by two oak trees, the Berry Field is a picturesque ceremony locale and can be used as Orchard Overlook Tent reception extension when adding cocktail tables, fire pits or lawn games. The Half Moon Garden features a weeping cherry tree, pebbled walkways and stone furniture and the Greenhouse is perfect for an intimate ceremony or cocktail hour. The renovated 1850 Boxwood Villa and farmhouse-style Spotswood Lodge provide vacation rental lodging just 10 minutes away.
