From the moment you cross the threshold, The Bradbury will take your breath away—marble floors gleam beneath your feet, while gilded massive columns stretch skyward to a soaring ceiling. The former stately bank lobby is the heart of the event space where your guests fan out among built-in private bars, a welcoming mezzanine with an exclusive private dining room and converted bank vault spaces, one of which serves as a vibrant art gallery.
With 1,800 square feet of usable private indoor space, the versatile Bradbury features turn-of-the-century American architecture ready for modern day weddings and rehearsals. Together the great hall and art gallery form the main Vault Virginia event space, a dramatic and stately venue for buzzing cocktail receptions and elaborate banquets. Dance and dine beneath original glass-pane windows and chic sparkling chandeliers fixed from an exposed high ceiling.
The Bradbury emanates elegance with the perfect dash of historic Charlottesville grandeur for unforgettable wedding day hospitality and grace. Customize your dream event space among the grand ballroom, stylish mezzanine and a picturesque terrace.
