  Unforgettable and RAIN does not stop her

  Pharsalia is beautiful but Candice is even more amazing. She is the hardest working, most talented, and calming soul of anyone I've ever worked with. Our flowers were amazing and with very little information she created the wedding of my dreams. Rain, literally, did not stop Candice. She rolled with it and far exceeded our expectations. I would recommend Pharsalia with Candice to someone I didn't even like...humor...but in all seriousness you will not regret it.

  Pharsalia is truly one of the most beautiful places in Virginia! We had such a gorgeous wedding ceremony and reception, all our guests are still talking about how beautiful it was. Foxie was very nice, easy to work with, and very accommodating. We would definitely recommend this place to everyone!

  If my husband and I had simply just booked Pharsalia for the big day without a single other vendor (caterer, tent, etc.) our wedding day would have still been brilliantly perfect. (The grounds look like a storybook garden.) From the drive to this special place, to the place where you say “I do,” Pharsalia is such a gem. Our guests so enjoyed exploring this place and our pictures were stunning. Thank you, Foxie, for sharing your intimately beautiful home with us.

  Pharsalia made my dream wedding come true! I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day in a more beautiful setting. Foxy and everyone who worked the event we’re so warm and welcoming. They make you feel at ease. I never thought twice if I had any questions because someone was always there to answer them.

  Foxie, the owner at Pharsalia is God's gift from Heaven! When I was looking at venues for my wedding, I had a hard time picking out the perfect spot, until I met Foxie & she told me about all what Pharsalia has to offer. I couldn't ask for a more beautiful & fun place to marry my best friend!

  We had to come to Pharsalia at the very last minute after somebody else fell through...but thank God they fell through because Pharsalia made so many beautiful arrangements, they were easy to work with, the results were truly wonderful, and they were willing and able to work within our budget and time constraints.

  Pharsalia is the most dreamy and beautiful venue! The old historic home is absolutely stunning and was such an magical place for a bride and her bridesmaids to get ready. The house and grounds provided a TON of places for amazing photos, and also perfect spots for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. The grounds have ample space for all of these activities, including bathrooms that are handy to the event. I personally love all of the stunning gardens and landscaping on the property, not to mention the back drop of mountains and orchards. Working with Foxie was a breeze and so was coordinating all of the necessary rentals etc. Foxie has a helpful list of vendors who know the venue and that she has worked with before. We chose pretty much all of our vendors from her list and they were all wonderful! My friends and I also bought bulk flowers from Foxie and we assembled our own bouquets in her flower shed the day before my wedding which was super fun! (I only recommend making your own if you or your friends have flower experience--and one of my friends did!)
  
  Overall, Pharsalia was a dream venue and I highly recommend it!!!

  We are so happy we chose to have our wedding at Pharsalia. From start to finish, it was the perfect venue. It has absolutely gorgeous views of the blue ridge mountains, and the house itself has such character and charm. Foxie (the owner) was a joy to work with. She also did all of our flowers which was a huge advantage because they were stunning and was one less vendor we needed to coordinate with. I would highly recommend Pharsalia for anyone interested in having a picture-perfect dream wedding, and working with some of the sweetest people throughout the entire planning process.

  The perfect wedding venue!

  From the minute we visited Pharsalia, we knew it was where we wanted to get married. It is just such a beautiful venue with a nice, laid-back vibe. We loved the mountain and orchard views, amazing gardens, and history tied to the property. Every little detail is just incredible. I loved that they only had one wedding per weekend and I really felt like Foxie, Candice, and Caroline knew and cared about us. I also felt like the cost was more affordable than several other venues in the Charlottesville area and I loved that there were many critical parts included like the event tent, tables, and benches for the ceremony. I also loved that they were able to provide florals for us which were INCREDIBLE! With very little direction from me, I felt like they created exactly what I was looking for. We got so many compliments and many guests telling us it was the best wedding venue they had ever been to.

  Wedding of my Dreams!

  I found Pharsalia via Instagram and instantly fell in love. My fiancé now husband and I agreed on a longer engagement while he finished his masters...well once I took a deep dive on Instagram of all of the pretty pictures, I knew I needed to schedule a visit.
  We arrived and WOW, mountains, orchards, sailcloth tent and THE GARDENS! SOLD!
  Our "long" engagement turned into a little over a year and we set the date.
  Foxie was amazing walking us through flower options all using her grown flowers! I love this detail! My vision on paper turned out exactly what I wanted in real life...Foxie and Candice, literally the DREAM TEAM!
  The day before the wedding, Foxie and Candice set up a cute little flower station so our bridesmaids could make their own bouquets.
  The day of, watching my dream florals all be set up was probably one of the top 5 highlights of our wedding day.
  Foxie drove my handicapped father around so he could participate in family photos and get to the ceremony and reception site, we are forever grateful.
  
  I would like to point out our only slight miss during the whole process (if you are like me and response time with emails, answers to questions and organization are important) just a heads up there were often delays, some setup misses from the portal sheet to day of. This was at no fault of the venue, Foxie or Candice. I just hope my concern was at least addressed with their communication team, especially for inquiring and Pharsalia brides! Planning is already stressful enough:)
  
  I will forever be grateful for the amazing memories at Pharsalia!
