Post-wedding day party location near Charlottesville

Molly, on June 15, 2021 at 4:42 PM Posted in Virginia Planning 0 5

Welp just when you think you've planned everything, something falls through! We are getting married July 16, 2021 just outside of Charlottesville (Gordonsville, VA area -the Market at Grelen) and planned to have a party the next day (Saturday) - open to all wedding guests - at the venue where most guests are staying (cabins) to be convenient, cheap, and safe. It was going to be informal where we just bring all the left over alcohol/food and people can come and go as they please. Now cabins are saying they can't allow in guests who aren't staying there, which is a total shock and enough ppl are staying elsewhere this is no longer viable.


Anyone from this area/familiar with it to have suggestions? Looking for somewhere north or east of Charlottesville (Barboursville, GOrdonsville, Orange County, etc). We really want to keep it informal - like we don't want to pay for/hire caterers or require guests to "RSVP" to the day-after events, which makes it hard to book anywhere commercial like a vineyard. I'm at a loss and the only thing I Can think of is maybe renting out a big air bnb and having people go there?

    Hi Molly! As of August 2020, AirBnB announced a global party ban that is still in effect. Parties are prohibited and occupancy is limited to 16 people max!!

    I'd scope out the local vineyards to see if any are more casual! Some vineyards have huge outdoor spaces and let you bring your own blankets and chairs, that could be perfect!

    Or you could check out the local Parks & Rec department to see if they have an facilities you can reserve for cheap!

    It’s super not helpful to just enforce vendor guidelines that WW must have contracts with - but I guess thx for the reminder?

    Hi Molly! I'm coming across this thread as I'm thinking about doing something similar if we end up getting married on a Friday. What did you end up doing the next day in the greater Charlottesville area?
