NOW BOOKING 2025; FULLY BOOKED FOR 2024!

Located in scenic Palmyra, Virginia, the family-owned and -operated Barns at Layz S Ranch is a classic, rustic wedding venue. With over 300 acres of working farmland as their backdrop, couples can host their wedding ceremony, reception, or elopement, as well as their bridal shower, engagement party, or rehearsal dinner at the facility. The potential settings are endless with both indoor and outdoor event spaces, featuring a wooden wedding arbor, an expansive patio, and indoor and outdoor fireplaces. Picturesque photos can be taken next to the pond and wooden bridge, with the rolling country hills providing a perfect backdrop.

Facilities and Capacity
Couples can host a gorgeous outside ceremony on the hand-stamped concrete patio, or opt for a covered pavilion ceremony. The pavilion is open on three sides to bring the beautiful scenery indoors, but the sides and barn-style doors can be closed in the event of inclement weather. Inside the pavilion, lighting is provided by lanterns and chandeliers, and a large hand-crafted fireplace takes spotlight, with rocks from the farm incorporated into its design. The outdoor patio is attached to the pavilion, creating an extra space that can be used for a ceremony, reception area, or dance floor. A second pavilion was completed in 2018 to provide a climate-controlled reception space that is separate from the ceremony site, but within close proximity. This pavilion is completely enclosed and offers a gas fireplace as well as lanterns and chandeliers for lighting. As wedding guests arrive, wedding parties can use the bridal suite and groom's dressing room to get ready.

Services Offered
When couples choose to host their event at The Barns at Layz S Ranch, they also gain access to the venue’s handcrafted farm tables and benches, chairs, bars, barrels, as well as other furniture options.. Parking attendants can help guests find parking on-site, and staff indoors can help set up and provide trash removal. The farm store can be used as a catering staging area or for bar service. The venue allows outside vendors, giving couples flexibility and budget-friendly options. The venue also has permanent restroom facilities for ease and comfort despite the country setting.

Location
The Barns at Layz S Ranch is part of Fluvanna County in Virginia. It is located about 15 miles southwest of Charlottesville and Monticello, historic home of founding father and President Thomas Jefferson.

Best value and beautiful venue!!

The Slater’s were the only venue owner that told is that they would love it if we chose to get married on their property. They are good-hearted and down to earth people. I am so glad we chose them as our location. They made it so easy, responded quickly, and were incredibly thorough and organized. We could not asked for more perfect people to work with! Thank you for allowing us to borrow your space and look back on it for a lifetime. You both are living my dream!

Fabulous wedding venue

Recently had my wedding at Layz S Ranch and it was truly a dream come true. Even with rainy weather, the venue was the perfect backdrop. The owners were phenomenal and easy to work with. Some of my favorite parts - 1) everything you need is in the same location, meaning guests do not have to walk far to get from ceremony to cocktail hour to recpeiton. 2) lots of great spots for formal pictures. 3) the entire location is a canvas to design any element you want for your wedding.

Beyond dreamy wedding venue!

My husband and I got married at Layz S Ranch in April of this year and absolutely adored the venue!! The whole venue was breathtaking and filled with so many cute areas for photos indoors and outdoors. Pam and Greg were so wonderful to work with and truly made the entire planning process so smooth and easy!! All of our guests have told us how much they loved the venue, and our photographer and videographer were able to get so many cool shots on the property! The bride room was the perfect place to get ready in, and I especially loved that they also had a designated groom’s room for the guys to get ready in. All the main areas (outdoor ceremony location, cocktail hour area, reception space) are so close together which made everything so convenient for the guests. The indoor reception space was one of my favorite spots as it felt so beautiful and dreamy in there! Plus, the farm tables, benches, and chairs provided were so cute!! We felt such a peace on the property when we toured as well as on our wedding day!! A beyond beautiful venue, affordable price, and all weekend access for set up and clean up made this venue such a dream! I cannot recommend it enough!!
