We could not have chosen a better venue for our April 2022 wedding reception for 110 guests. It is truly a GEM! The venue itself is breathtaking and warm with tons of natural light, stunning chandeliers for the evening time, exposed brick, copper glass doors, outdoor area with seating and fairy lights, bar area and barrel room. The space was intimate and allowed for flexibility with how to utilize the barrel room, front bar area, large room, and outdoor area. The venue included use of kitchen, tables and mahogany chairs, and many other furniture and props. They also offer their own wine, table settings, and cleanup. The venue really brought together our vision!
The location Smithfield winery is also extremely convenient- it is right next to the Smithfield Inn and down the street from the Smithfield Station. On the morning of the wedding, our vendors and family could walk back and forth between the Inn and the venue, and afterwards, we guests could get right back to their hotels. Smithfield itself is historical and charming, quiet, and right by the water.
Natasha, the owner of the venue, went absolutely above and beyond to make our wedding so beautiful. She is professional, responsive, flexible, and down-to-earth. She welcomed my parents and extended family come visit the venue multiple times in the year leading up to the wedding. She LOVES what she does! Natasha is knowledgeable about the wedding industry/vendors and has a network of wedding vendors that she has worked with. She facilitated a walk-thru prior to the event and she worked extremely well with all our vendors.
Without any hesitation, I would recommend this venue to my own family and friends- for weddings, parties, showers, or other events. We had NO complaints or regrets at all and would 100% choose this venue again!
