Charlottesville

Historic, chic and picturesque — that’s Charlottesville! There’s an energy to Charlottesville that captures the hearts of all who experience it. C’ville, as the locals call it, is at its heart a big small town, with the buzz of a vibrant downtown combined with a soulful sense of Southern graciousness and community connection—qualities that infuse any gathering in this historic city.

The community nestles up against the Blue Ridge Mountains and some of the prettiest countryside in Virginia; it was one of the first cities to embrace the farm-to-table movement, a nod to the abundant wineries and rolling farm country that surround it.

Founded in 1762, the downtown brims with Colonial architecture, the heart of which is the historic downtown pedestrian mall with its red-brick streets. Charlottesville is home to both the University of Virginia and Monticello, the legacies of native son Thomas Jefferson, and its spirit calls to mind the promise of the birthplace of the Union—a perfect place to celebrate yours.

Whether you dream of a big southern soiree set in one of the many stunning vineyards or a chic affair at a downtown social club, there is truly an option to fit every couple’s taste.
