Stretched across 55 acres of majestic land, this picturesque property boasts a peaceful pond, rich forests, and mountain-peak views. This private venue combines spectacular scenery with a convenient location for your wedding celebration.

Facilities and Capacity

The two five-star houses located on the property can be rented together or individually to host a total of 24 overnight guests.

Dreamy wedding venue and amazing team!!

Our wedding at Canaan Valley in early November was such an incredible experience! Being able to stay on the property for the whole weekend with both of our families was really special and made for a great family reunion and wedding celebration all in one. The houses are perfect for relaxing and spending time as a group, complete with fire pits, games, a ping pong table, a huge well-equipped kitchen, a claw foot tub, and a steam shower (great for steaming dresses!). The property is absolutely gorgeous and created the peaceful, natural setting that we wanted for our wedding. We loved being surrounded by animals including horses, donkeys, ducks, a snapping turtle, a goose, and an adorable cat that made an appearance during our reception! Dan and Courtney are the most friendly, hard-working, and welcoming people and we loved working with them in planning our destination wedding from afar. They answered all of our questions promptly, and helped us sort out any issues that came up. On the day of the wedding, their team was great in coordinating with all the vendors and making sure everything ran smoothly so we could just enjoy the day. I highly recommend Canaan Valley as a wedding venue as well as a destination for family gatherings. We can't wait to come back!!

The Perfect Weekend

We held our wedding weekend at Canaan Valley in late September 2023. The venue was exactly what we dreamed of and we could not imagine having been anywhere else! The property is beautiful, but the most important thing for us was the people we got to work with during the process. Dan, Courtney, and the whole crew were so accommodating throughout our entire stay, and made the entire experience the best we could have asked for. At every turn, from our first FaceTime tour of the property to the day we checked out and went home, Dan & Courtney were available to answer questions, give advice, and help us execute everything we wanted out of our weekend. We felt very safe and taken care of in their hands and always felt they had our best interest at heart. They truly are special people and have built a very special venue.

On top of booking the venue we booked both houses on the property from Thursday - Sunday to house our wedding party and significant others. The houses are wonderful! They are well equipped, beautifully decorated, spacious, comfortable, and perfect for relaxing with your friends and family. Bonus points for waking up and having the various horses from the property visit at the back fence! All in all we can't recommend Canaan Valley, Dan, Courtney, and the rest of their team any more highly. We're so grateful for our experience with them, so excited for all the couples they will continue to serve here, and we can't wait to visit again!

Fantastic People and Venue!

We loved our wedding at Canaan Valley! The team went above and beyond to make the day extra special for us. Even when it rained the day of, they did everything possible to make the reception transition indoors as seamless as possible, and it was beautiful!

What we appreciated the most was the heartfelt attention to detail. The Canaan Valley family and team really cares and it shows. From the beautiful handwritten messages on the mirrors, the extra work they did for special lighting, and the thoughtful touches along the way, we felt like our day was special and important, and we didn’t always have that experience with some of the other vendors, so it really stood out. Highly recommend!
