YOUR WEDDING SHOULD BE ABOUT YOU

At Montlaurel, we welcome couples to celebrate their love with intention, surrounded by the quiet charm of Virginia’s Blue Ridge foothills. Our 28-acre property has been thoughtfully transformed for elopements and micro-weddings—intimate gatherings where every detail feels personal, relaxed, and truly meaningful.

As an all-inclusive venue, we provide everything you need to make the day feel effortless: ceremony and reception spaces, chairs, tables, dinnerware, glassware, and even photography. We’ve taken care of the details so you can focus on what really matters—being present with the people you love most.

Montlaurel isn’t just a venue; it’s also our home. That means every wedding here is treated with the care and warmth we’d offer our own family and friends. We proudly welcome all couples—LGBTQ+ inclusive and affirming—because love is love, and every story deserves to be celebrated.

Whether you envision a quiet ceremony under the trees or a cozy dinner with your closest people, we’re here to help bring your vision to life—beautifully and stress-free.
