Verulam Farm
An Elegant Virginia Equestrian Estate
Verulam is a beautiful 500-acre 1930's estate set in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Couples choose from two flexible wedding celebration settings: The Cider Barn, surrounding pastures, horse paddocks and ponds offer natural scenery and rustic country charm while the manor home and encompassing gardens add a tone of elegance and sophistication.
Combine elements of both to build out your dream day. Create a stunning countryside reception aesthetic inside the nearly 100-year-old barn nestled between rolling pastures, an earthen pond and a working horse farm where foals play in the paddocks. Share your vows in the Border Garden's stone gazebo surrounded by 15-foot boxwoods and holly trees draped with blue wisteria or embrace the natural oak canopies of the terraced croquet court overlooking a two-acre pond planted with Louisiana iris, ornamental cherry trees, oriental azalea and ornamental grasses.
Cocktail hour flows around the tranquil pool flanked by brick walls and manicured plantings. Plan newlywed and wedding party photo shoots among the rolling hills, freshwater streams, ponds and willows and inside the manor home wrapped in grand Jeffersonian style and architecture.
