Pharsalia was built by Major Thomas Massie for his son William as a wedding present. The 1814 private home and working farm and gardens rest in the bucolic Tye River Valley, welcoming couples to relax and celebrate among its romantic parlors, porches, canopies of shade trees and various outbuildings.

Plan your ceremony, reception and photos along Pharsalia's expansive grounds and gardens and work with the professional team to shape your fresh seasonal floral designs and personalized wedding day aesthetic. Gather poolside, on the grand lawn and overlooking extensive vineyards and orchards. Enjoy exclusive use of the site for the day and amenities that include an luxurious sailcloth event tent, catering tent and pine farm tables.

Enjoy wedding party prep time in the graciously appointed Pharsalia home, access the indoor bar area and spend time in the gorgeous cocktail courtyard and savoring the pristine flower and herb gardens. Curate a dream photo shoot backed by endless rolling hillsides and forests.
