The Best New Wedding Venue in VA

The Franklin Estate was the perfect venue for our wedding reception. We booked the estate throughout the weekend. Out of town family members stayed there, and our wedding became a family reunion/vacation. Everyone still tells us how much they enjoyed it. Angela and the staff could not have been more accommodating and helpful. Angela stayed in constant communication with us, providing any tools and advice we needed. She wanted us to have everything we wanted out of our wedding reception. The estate is beautiful. The rooms have all of the comfort of home with the luxury feel of a vacation. Book now because once this place takes off, it might be hard to find an opening!

Best weekend ever!

The Franklin Estate provided the absolute best wedding weekend I could have asked for. Family and friends stayed onsite and gathered all weekend. On our wedding day, we hosted right at 400 guests under 2 massive tents on their tennis court. Even though it rained, we danced the night away! The venue was so flexible, allowing us our choice of vendors and ceremony location. We chose the garden for the ceremony and it was more beautiful than I could have imagined. All of the girls got ready on the beautiful, spacious main floor and the guys got ready on the huge the patio floor. It was more amazing than I could have dreamed.
