About

Waverly Estate is a beautiful venue that sits on eight acres of land in the town of Lunenburg, Virginia. The circa 1838 home, church, and stunning new event building with a greenhouse feel are directly next to a 200-acre cattle farm and provide a whimsical, vintage, and garden vibe. The 200-year-old hackberry tree that sits on the property is one of the favorite ceremony spots. The grounds of Waverly Estate are now completely filled with towering magnolia trees, crepe myrtles, and weeping willows. This natural scenery provides a magical background for any wedding event.

Facilities and Capacity

Waverly Estate offers lovely indoor and outdoor spaces which include some great amenities such as the bistro light patio, fire pit, shade trees, and plenty of open land. The 5,000+ square foot greenhouse style event building is the perfect space for larger events as it can accommodate up to 300 guests. The Parlor Room is an ideal space for intimate dinners or receptions and can comfortably fit 32 guests for dinner. The parlor is right off the main foyer, providing an ideal welcoming spot for when your guests arrive. The chapel is a perfect space for your ceremony and is complete with a large open floor plan and hardwood floors. The open space allows for a variety of floor plans. The church can seat roughly 80 guests at round tables for dinner, just over 175 guests for a ceremony service, and 100 guests for a social hors d’oeuvres style event.

Waverly is hands down the best place to get married!

I honestly couldn’t have picked a better venue than Waverly Estate. There’s no venue like it that gives you the flexibility of coming in on Friday & staying until Sunday. We had no worries about clean up after the reception or scrambling the morning of between a hotel & the venue for getting ready. On top of all of that, the all inclusive package that Waverly has is NEXT LEVEL. I didn’t have to search for vendors because Waverly had them already available & built into my package. It was an absolute dream to have one less thing to stress about. Their coordinator, Rachel, is absolutely amazing too. She answered every question I had & was the best cheerleader for us on wedding day. She had everything completely organized & made my vision come true for our wedding. My wedding was a dream come true, in huge part to the team at Waverly Estate.

My Saving Grace

We chose Waverly because of the location along with offering everything we needed in one place. Sarah, the owner, is awesome to work with and super helpful. Rachel the wedding planner was my LIFESAVER. Her smile and upbeat attitude kept me grounded and made our day absolutely perfect. She totally got my vibe of exactly what I was looking for and is just an all around amazing person. I could not have imagined having my "Tropical Storm" wedding any where else. If you are not choosing Waverly, you are truly missing out!
