Alturia Farm exceeded our vision for our wedding with their beautiful ceremony site options and event barn for the reception. Janean was such a pleasure to work with and super helpful throughout our wedding planning. Her and Courtney are extremely organized and made the wedding day run seamlessly. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day and venue for our wedding.

Where do I begin…Alturia Farms is absolutely beautiful. We fell in love immediately. We also loved the owner Janean. She was fantastic from the beginning to the end. So passionate and helpful. Never ever made us feel like we were bothering her with numerous text messages and visits to the venue through the year of planning. Always could answer any question we had and had several suggestions as well.
This venue offers so many different places for your ceremony and reception. We decided the chapel was the place we wanted. Also, the grounds are just full of beautiful flowers and shrubs and of course the horses and the beautiful fields. It’s also a venue that you can have your rehearsal dinner there as well.
One great thing about this venue is the have numerous inventory that they allow you use at no additional cost. They also offer for an additional fee a horse and carriage ride. I highly recommend ❤️
I highly recommend this venue if you want everything to go smoothly and perfect.

This is a beautiful venue with a great team running it! We ended up not booking this venue, but it was due to available dates. We toured this venue and loved it. Janean was so friendly and great to work with. She responded very fast to every question we had. I have no doubts that working with her for our wedding would have been a breeze.

As soon as we drove down the driveway at Alturia Farm, we knew we found the perfect venue. From the very first encounter Janean made us feel so welcome and excited to help bring our vision to life. Not only do you get access to this beautiful property there is so much more there is they offer! Janean and her team made planning our dream wedding so easy! Everyone was in awe of the property and how beautiful it was. If you are looking for a venue where you have endless support, love, and breath taking views, look NO further!

Alturia Farm is gorgeous! Once we visited this venue and meet Janean and Ken we knew we had found where we wanted to have our big day. Janean and Ken are amazing and are there to help all the way through. From the time you booked to the morning after you wedding they are there to help. We got married under the pergola but it was a tough choice because everywhere you look is a beautiful spot to get married. The reception was in the event barn that is truely breathtaking. We couldn't have asked for a better venue. The venue itself was beautiful and perfect for any weather but Janean and Ken really care and want to help. They were there every step of the way and went above and beyond. Janean also takes wonderful behind the scenes photos. We highly recommend this venue.

After being double booked on our first venue we were fortunate enough to find Alturia farm. It was a match made in heaven and I know we were meant to find them. From the tour, through multiple emails and text messages, all the way up to the day of, this venue had it handled. They required a day of coordinator which just made my life so much easier. They organized walk through and helped set up the day of. Sadly a little while before the wedding their horse for the carriage was no longer with us but instead of just saying no for the horse and carriage they stayed hopeful as they found a new horse, one that was trained, and he performed beautifully. They took lots of pictures on top of the photographer and the rooms to get ready were phenomenal. There is space for the girls and the guys to get ready, plus there are salon chairs for the make up and hair vendors to use on their clients. I can’t stress enough how amazing my time at Alturia farm was and how whimsical their venue made my wedding.

Alturia Farm is an unbelievably gorgeous venue! Ken & Janean are so incredibly friendly and go out of their way to make sure you are treated like family! We had our engagement pictures, our rehearsal and wedding here and I cannot say enough good things about every single experience. I was determined to have our pups in the wedding and from the beginning Ken & Janean were on board and helped make the dream come true! During the engagement pictures, rehearsal and on the day of Janean & Ken and their staff were always right there making sure we had everything we needed or waiting with a golf cart in case we needed a ride somewhere. It is very clear just how much they love & are proud of their venue and how much hard work they and all of their staff put in everyday. I am so incredibly grateful for finding this venue & having our wedding here. You will not be disappointed choosing Alturia!!

After having my wedding at Alturia Farm in May 2019, I firmly believe it is one of the most special and magical venues out there. For starters, Ken and Janean Brooks are just truly amazing people. When you book your wedding at Alturia Farm, they make you feel like you are a part of their family. Janean had so many wonderful suggestions for vendors to use, and everyone she recommended did an outstanding job. She is extremely responsive and is sweet, personable, and so accommodating and flexible. Ken and Janean are also some of the most hospitable people I have ever met. On the day of my wedding, Ken and Janean truly made sure I had everything I needed every single second of the day. Every time I walked somewhere, Ken was right beside me in a golf cart with water waiting in case I wanted it. As if this wasn’t enough, Alturia Farm is astoundingly beautiful. The property is elegant and rustic and has everything that you would ever want in a wedding venue. This was the only place I toured because it was just that perfect. I am so thankful that I had my wedding here because Ken and Janean truly made it everything I ever dreamed of and more.

If I could give Janean and Ken 1,000 stars I would! This venue is so personal for them because it's also their home. They invite you and your party to be part of their beautiful place and make you feel like you're part of the family. They're so kind and their venue/home is GORGEOUS! The fields with the horses and the event barn are just two of the things that make this space spectacular for ANY event not just weddings. Our wedding was beautiful and they did a great job making sure we had everything we needed (including a horse drawn carriage fit for royalty; a MUST!) Please visit them and plan to have your event here for a magical experience! Photo credit goes to Orrie Gaines Photography of Richmond VA and Band Props to Trademark by East Coast Entertainment.

I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who is going for a rustic feel for their wedding. The carriage barn and event farm are absolutely gorgeous and the grounds are breathtaking. The staff is amazing especially the owners. They were super helpful and available to help with whatever we needed before the big day and on it. I could not have asked for a better venue to make my wedding day even more special.

My wedding was this past weekend, August 19, 2017, and I couldn't wait to give this venue a review! Let's start with the owners - Ken and Janean (and their fantastic staff, including Lizzy) - this group was ALWAYS willing to do more, make sure we had what we needed, even suggesting ideas and ways things have worked or not worked in past events! They kept us up to date on changes to the venue (this place is growing and in ALLLL the good ways!!!). Their staff was working to arrange our space the way we wanted, and when we had a last minute change, were there to change it up again! Next - the space itself! This venue is BEAUTIFUL! It was a hot weekend with a funky summer storm, but the event barn worked perfectly! We already had the space set up for the reception, but we were also able to set up the rehearsal dinner inside too, without having to move but a few chairs! The natural decor enhanced our day! In addition to everything they promised they'd do from the start, Janean was around taking pictures and had them sent to me the next day - which, by the way, were AMAZING pictures. I could not recommend this place enough. We had a wedding there, but I already had guests tell me they might have to book their vow renewals!

I can not say enough about Alturia Farm! The owners are literally some of the nicest people I have ever met, literally! They are so accommodating and helpful. They did so much for us the day of or wedding and the days leading up to it. They helped us do set up, take down and everything in between. They are all around wonderful hosts!
The venue... Breathtaking! I love the property! It has so many options for ceremony sites, options for rain, adorable cocktail hour spots and an amazing reception tent! And a cutie honeymoon suite in the back! It has everything you could ever want. And so friggin' gorgeous!!
I can't give enough praise to The Brooks'. We had such an amazing wedding and owe a lot of it to the venue and the owners!
