    Obici House

    The Obici House was a wonderful place to have our small reception after our ceremony. It was beautiful, and the staff was easy to work with and flexible! We had to book late, because our plans changed a lot with COVID, and they made the process and transition really easy. This venue was beautiful and wonderful!

    Short Notice Wedding Dream Come True

    My husband decided to move our wedding date up a year due to his departure for assignment. We started planning on December 30th and were able to get reasonable pricing, a tour of the venue, and secure thIs venue for our Ceremony on January 10th. We had a small indoor ceremony with 23 guests. If you looking for a vintage and intimate feel, I recommend this venue. The Bridal Suite and private dining room are amazing. Thank you Terry and Susan for helping arrange our wedding. Could not have asked for a better experience. Photos by MICHAELANDJASMINEPHOTOGRAPHY https://michaelandjasmine.com/

    One stop Celebrating!!

    The Obici House was a wonderful experience for us and our guests. The wedding celebration was held on the steps of the house and the reception was inside. Included in the cost of the Venue, are the tables, chairs and basic linens not to mention they carry the liquor license and have huge amounts of parking. This is where you can get nickeled and dimed so having it all there really pays off. Terry was wonderful to work with and we appreciated her input on many preparations. There is plenty of parking and a beautiful view of the Sleepy Hole Gold Course and the Nansemond River. The Obici House is a beautiful historic home that needs very little decorating...

    Beautiful Charm and Great Staff!

    Obici House is an absolutely beautiful wedding venue. We were married there in November and the Fall leaves and gorgeous sunset over the water made this place a dream for us. The staff was unbelievably helpful and they were so flexible during the planning process (can I move this couch? YES! Can I bring my dogs for the ceremony? YES! Can I have corn hole boards outside? YES!). For the price, it is a HUGE venue - which you get full access to! There is a bridal suite, it's fully wired with TVs so guests can watch the dance floor throughout the house, and the dining room has full water views! Terry even rode a golf cart down to...

    The Obici House kindly hosted our 'hurricane' wedding with uninvited guest Matthew. Needless to say, there was a lot of excitement that night with the crazy weather. Terry & staff were very accommodating throughout the event, making sure that all guests were safe & everyone was happy. We booked the venue about 10 months before our wedding & both Terry & Sharon were great with communication while we tried to set everything up via email. We were also able to make several trips out to The Obici House & they were always happy to work with us on scheduling. I just wish we could of had more time there the night of (which was the weather's fault - nothing...

    Stunning locations with friendly staff

    Terry and Sharon are great to work with, they were there to answer all the questions and guide you through all the stages. Fast and thorough response to all questions and it was very easy to schedule times to see the venue before your big day. The balcony makes stunning wedding pictures!

    New Year’s Eve wedding

    We had an outstanding experience with at the Obici House for a short notice New Year’s Eve wedding. Teri and Sharon went out of their way to make sure that everything was taken care of with utmost professionalism and kindness. As a mother of the bride, I would have no reservation in recommending their service and this venue for your wedding event!

    The Obici House made our wedding perfect. Terry was nothing but accommodating, and everything we wanted she gave us. If I could get married all over again I wouldn't change a thing.

    We really enjoyed our experience with Terri and Sharon (and staff) at the Obici House! From the minute we reserved the date, Terri was always available to answer questions, and provided much needed and timely information for us to continue making the right choices for our day. She went the extra mile to help us arrange a hot chocolate bar, and made the presentation of our seating chart look amazing! We had an unforgettable ceremony and reception, and couldn't have done it without Terri, Sharon and their team! If you're in the market for a venue, put The Obici House at the top of your list!

    After our first visit here, we immediately fell in love with the vintage decor and beautiful water views at this home! Sharon was wonderful to work with. Super prompt and accommodating! She allowed us to visit the space as many times as we wanted in order to visualize everything. Unfortunately, it rained on our wedding day so we weren't able to take full advantage of the beautiful water views and grounds but the house is so lovely itself that our pictures will still be beautiful. If you are looking for a unique and historic setting, you will not be disappointed here. Sharon and Terry care so much about the venue and their bride and groom and really made us feel like family.

    They were very flexible! We rented the entire venue, but it was well worth it. We even had a fire pit out on the lawn. What a fantastic place for our wedding. It was private, being on the water and in the back of a golf course. There was plenty of parking, and it's location in N. Suffolk made it easy for our guests from all over to get to.

    I am a event planner. I was able to put together a wedding ceremony and reception in less then 2 months because of the support offered by Mrs Terry Tagg of Obici House in Suffolk. I would recommend this location because of the professionalism shown to me, and the brides Mother during our visits. The day of the event things went smoothly because of her and the stagg. The Obici House is a beautiful venue.

    After we bought our house in Suffolk, we wanted to find a local venue for our family and friends to experience all Hampton Roads. After looking at several options, our search stopped after we saw the Obici House. Terry and Sharon, the event coordinators, were FANTASTIC. They quickly answered any questions and provided great suggestions, such as information on trusted vendors, which is how we found our photographer. In comparison to most vendors who have one or two caterers to choose from, the Obici House has five preferred catering companies to choose from; plus the Obici House has a bar, bar tenders and liquor license. The house is a blank canvas for every event, I had the choice to...
