Where couples get married in Richmond

Shockoe Slip & Shockoe Bottom

Cobblestone streets and 19th-century tobacco warehouses turned exposed-brick event spaces in the historic riverside core.

Scott's Addition

A former industrial district now packed with breweries, distilleries, and loft venues for a laid-back, urban celebration.

Maymont & the Fan District

Gilded Age estate gardens, stone terraces, and grand historic homes in Richmond's oldest residential neighborhood.

James River Plantations (Route 5, Charles City County)

Historic riverfront plantation estates and manor grounds a short drive southeast of the city for a countryside, garden-party feel.

When to book in Richmond

Spring (April–May) and fall (September–October) are Richmond's peak, when the gardens at Maymont and the river districts are at their best. Book your venue and photographer 12–14 months out for a Saturday. Summers run hot and humid, and winter dates open up better availability and rates if you're flexible.
