A Verdant Virginia Wonderland

Set on a 1,000-acre tree nursery, the beauty of this magical wedding venue lies in its rural simplicity and impeccably designed flexible venue spaces. Lush flowers and thriving greenery — all available as wedding day décor — transport guests to another world.

 

The Market at Grelen is natural and rural with a flourishing garden that’s alive and breathing, pulsating with enchanted countryside energy. Say your vows under the gorgeous weeping cherry tree in the tranquil Half Moon Garden surrounded by vibrant greenery and the gentle fragrance of blossoms alongside pebbled walkways and imperial stone furniture. Greet guests for an intimate cocktail hour in the whimsical greenhouse embraced by a symphony of vibrant plants and blossoms. Celebrate in the Berry Field among oak trees and expansive pastoral views. Whisk away to Bloomfield for a photo shoot enveloped in endless lush valley and Blue Ridge Mountain backdrops.

 

Utilize the nursery’s blooms to curate plant- and flower-lined aisles and arches. Festoon dining space with fresh fragrant centerpieces and sprinkle cocktail tables, fire pits and lawn games about for relaxed entertainment. Soft lighting in a vaulted clear-top tent and the brightest countryside stars illuminate your dance floor and set the tone for an unforgettable event.
