This venue is amazing. The tent under the lights is stunning & the character of the rest of place (pergola, half moon garden, greenhouse) is all so unique. All the logistics of the venue were pretty straightforward, staff was easy to work with, and competitive prices for the area. Highly recommend! -

When we originally received the idea of checking out Grelen from our wedding planner, we looked at the website and were interested enough to set up a viewing appointment. The website, however, did nothing to prepare us for how unbelievably gorgeous this property is. Not only did we feel immediately at home working with the event team including Kristen and Morgan, but the location offered endless options for breathtaking photos, a gorgeous ceremony, and a fantastic tent to celebrate the night away. We were lucky enough to house our wedding party at nearby Spotswood Lodge, where we received the same level of professional service and rustic charm. Grelen itself feels like a getaway to some other part of the world entirely, yet also beautifully showcases all that Virginia has to offer. While we received so many compliments for the day itself, the number we received regarding the venue itself was overwhelming. We can't wait to return to the market, cafe and nursery so we can relive our gorgeous event for years to come. -

The Market at Grelen was an absolute DREAM. We had a July wedding and it was better than we could have ever dreamed or planned for it to be. The staff, especially Kristin Simler and Morgan, we fantastic. So very professional and kind. They made our planning and wedding week so peaceful, effortless, and stress-free. The venue is absolutely PERFECTION. The overlook view of the orchard from the tent is breathtaking. We got married in the Half Moon Garden under the gorgeous willow tree. It was so magical and fit 100 people perfectly. It was transformed by a beautiful oasis by the staff! One of our favorite parts of the ceremony were the plants from around the venue arranged along the aisle, to create the most gorgeous atmosphere. The tent was GORGEOUS with amazing lighting and was so specious. No need to rent a dance floor, as the flooring there is gorgeous and dance ready! It rained after our ceremony and the staff pulled the tent siding down easily, making the rain an absolute non-issue. It was just beautiful to watch the rain from the comfort of the inside of the tent! This venue is absolutely gorgeous. The staff is amazing. It was PERFECT for our wedding day and we are so thankful! -

I always thought that the venue carried the greatest weight when it comes to wedding experience. I was the most picky about my venue out of everything wedding-related. I must've looked at 100 venues online before finding The Market at Grelen and knowing instantly it was perfect! It completely lived up to my expectations. The staff was wonderful to work with and never missed a beat despite their full calendar of weddings to tend to. And the venue is gorgeous! The ceremony space has a sprawling view of the countryside. There are several unique spaces on the grounds to have your cocktail hour, including a whimsical greenhouse and a stone terrace. The reception space comfortably fit all my guests, with a vaulted clear-top tent that made you feel like you were dancing under the stars . I was able to save a lot of money and brain power on not needing many decorations, as the venue itself is so beautiful and you can utilize the plants from the market to decorate your space free of charge. And the best part is that this venue operates as a business open to the public, so I can go back and visit whenever I'd like! The Market was the absolute perfect venue for me and I'm so happy I found it! -

The Market at Grelen is, simply put, a wonderland. From the berry lawn to the greenhouse, it's absolutely magical. The stunning vistas, lush flowers, and verdant greenery transport guests to another world. (There are literally small fairies in the greenhouse!)
I couldn't have imagined a more perfect place to have our wedding, and the guests felt the same way, too.
Tess, Emmie, and all of the staff bent over backwards to make us feel welcome and at home. They are professional, attentive, and kind.
If you want a unique experience and captures the best of Virginian countryside, look no further than the Market at Grelen!The Market at Grelen's reply:
Nora, thank you so much for your kind words. You and Milind were a dream to work with and your wedding was so beautiful! Wishing you all the best and we hope you come back to visit us anytime you are in the neighbourhood!
Emmie, Tess and the rest of the Grelen Team :) -

When I stumbled upon the Market at Grelen while searching for venues, I just had a feeling it would be the perfect spot to host our intimate wedding. It truly lived up to all our expectations! We absolutely loved the setting (especially the backdrop of the greenhouse) and so did our guests. Just felt like a magical day all around. Thank you to the Grelen team who paid attention to all my ideas during the planning process, and helped bring every detail to life. Will be a day we treasure forever! -

Nikki Sent on 06/06/2019Amazing, amazing venue
Picking the Market at Grelen as our wedding venue was the single best decision we made in the planning process. The entire grounds are stunning. We had our ceremony on the Berry Lawn with the mountain views as our backdrop. Even though a storm rolled through directly after our ceremony, the venue was able to accommodate for our cocktail hour and reception under the tent and it didn't impact the flow of the night at all. We got so many compliments on how stunning the venue was. It's also a great venue for all sorts of photos because there are many different locations to capture (lawn, berry vines, overlook, weeping willow, gardens, terrace, etc.). They all offered a wonderful backdrop.
The event staff is also lovely to work with. They are approachable, responsive, and so sweet. They were helpful throughout the planning process, conducting walk throughs, and beyond helpful the day of the wedding. Overall, I wouldn't have wanted to get married anywhere else!The Market at Grelen's reply:
Nikki, thank you so much for your sweet review! We absolutely loved working with you and Bryce! We wish you all the very best! -

Emily Sent on 08/14/2019Fairy Tale Wedding
We had our wedding here in June and it was truly the most magical day! The setting at the Market at Grelen is so stunning. From the beautiful natural backdrop during our Berry Field ceremony to dancing the night away at our reception under the stars in the clear top tent, allowed us to have the most perfect day. There are so many beautiful spots for pictures and we loved taking photos at Bloomfield during Golden Hour. Another wonderful benefit of having a wedding here is being able to use any of Grelen's plants and flowers throughout the wedding day. Everyone has commented on how beautiful our wedding location was and many asked us how we found such a perfect location.
The event staff was so wonderful to work with. Tess and Emmie were responsive and helpful during the wedding planning process with our many questions. It is very evident that they are passionate about their work and our whole day ran so efficiently. We could not have asked for a more beautiful spot to have our wedding day and will forever hold onto our amazing memories made here at The Market at Grelen! -

User2487085 Sent on 12/30/2015All of our guests talked about how beautiful the venue was! We felt so fortunate to have booked it during it first year as a wedding venue. We were able to use the plants from the nursery for the ceremony and reception for a fee, which made everything look green and luxurious.
Sarah was so great about meeting us for tours and walk-throughs in the months before the wedding. -
User1931579 Sent on 11/19/2014The event manager at the Market at Grelen was very, very helpful to work with. We originally had a few misunderstandings, but she bent over backwards to graciously ensure that things were figured out and ran smoothly. I was deeply appreciative of how she handled everything. And the venue was absolutely stunning! -

We had an absolutely beautiful wedding at Grelen. Even in mid December it was a gorgeous location. The staff where overall responsive and accommodated almost everything we requested.d The one thing they wouldn't bend on is letting us start our ceremony before 4:30pm, which was a mild annoyance given the early sundown but honestly not *actually* an issue, especially given the weather we had.
Our wedding day had torrential rain and the market handled it really well. The tent was excellent at giving cover and our guests had a great time. The heating that comes with the tend is really good and absolutely worth it.
The day was great and they accommodated our vendors and where an excellent unique venue. Highly recommend them! -
