Our Story
A Festival to Celebrate the Love of .............................Jason & Betsy
Welcome to Jason and Betsy's Wedding Festy!
Friends and family! We have found a beautiful horse farm, 35 minutes away from Charlottesville where we will have our wedding! It's close to James Madison's Montpelier (the land was in fact, owned by James Madison at one time).
Set in the beautiful rolling hills of the Virginia piedmont, the facility hosts a manor house with a garden where the ceremony will take place, and a pavilion where the reception will take place- it has great views and air circulation.
The lodging onsite is primarily occupied by family, however, camping is permitted and free for those who choose that option. For those who choose nearby lodging, please see our accommodation page for options.
We want to make this a multi-day event so we encourage you to come Thursday afternoon through Sunday.
There is a hot tub, and fire pits galore. In addition to the fishing, hiking, petting of horses, rope swings, horse shoe pits and general playing outside, there is a "Play Barn", with pool table, ping pong, air hockey, corn hole, bicycles and other games. In addition to the hot tub, there is also swimming hole in the creek. Horseback riding is available at the adjacent farm. If you play an instrument, please bring it!
