Conveniently located in Manakin-Sabot, here’s everything you need to know about hosting weddings at Dover Hall, outside Richmond VA.
Why Get Married at Dover Hall? English Elegance & Versatility To Suit Your Style!
With stunning stonework, ornate interiors, and serene gardens, this space is ideal for couples seeking European elegance and glamour, but for a fraction of the cost of a destination wedding in England! And, you’ll love the Southern hospitality here too, with impeccable customer service.
Capacity & Spaces
This flexible venue can host up to 400 guests, but there is a range of indoor and outdoor spaces to suit smaller weddings, ideal for formal, stylish, and romantic celebrations! The bridal suite for getting ready is the ideal place to start your day, as it’s bathed in natural light and adorned in gorgeous white and cream styling.
Ceremonies
Garden ceremonies work really well here, with many couples loving the beauty of the Rose Garden, Reflecting Pool, and the Two-Tiered Garden for a gorgeous afternoon wedding, especially in the soft light of spring or fall. Or, the stylish Ballroom works well for ceremonies too, just in case of rain.
With so many intricately styled interior spaces at Dover Hall, it’s fun to make the most of this unique mansion wedding venue in Virginia, so consider a cocktail hour in the Pub Bar or the stunning wood-paneled Library.
Receptions
For your reception, the Ballroom or Glass Hall will seriously wow your guests! The Ballroom, with vaulted ceilings, tall windows draped in red curtains, and ornate iron chandeliers, literally feels straight out of an English palace, but with modern comfort and amazing catering!
It’s best to contact Dover Hall directly for current information on availability and pricing or to arrange a visit.
Timeless Beauty & European Luxury: Wedding Photos At Dover Hall
This venue is perfect for candid and editorial-style images that you’ll love! As your wedding photographer at Dover Hall, I’ll help you create truly stunning images.
Outdoors, the ivy-covered brickwork, rolling hills, and manicured hedges and gardens are beautiful in the afternoon light. The interior spaces also photograph well here, with gorgeous historical touches that make you feel like you’re in Europe — imagine gold chandeliers, stone fireplaces, and oil portraits, all of which add a sense of luxury and timelessness to your wedding portraits.
Dover Hall lends itself well to black tie and luxury styling, but we can create any type of styling here for your portraits! I’m always so happy to give you some ideas, or Dover Hall’s Instagram is a helpful starting point.
