Micro Weddings & Celebrations

A Venue and Setting Unlike Any Other

HISTORIC ESTATE | INTIMATE SETTING | BREATHTAKING VIEWS

Some celebrations are too important for ordinary venues. At Carriage Stone Farm, we offer something rare: a 281-year-old historic estate on 50 private acres in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, where the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the warmth of rescued horses, and the elegance of a beautifully restored farmhouse come together to create a backdrop that simply cannot be replicated.

There are venues, and then there is Carriage Stone. Here is what makes celebrating here unlike anywhere else in Virginia:

A Living Piece of History: Originally built in 1818 by architects from Washington D.C. and Baltimore and listed on the Virginia Registry of Historic Places, Carriage Stone Farm carries a depth of character and history that no modern venue can offer. The original 1750 homestead ruins are still visible on the property, adding a layer of history and meaning to every celebration held here.

Breathtaking Natural Beauty: Fifty private acres of rolling pastures, open skies, and sweeping Blue Ridge Mountain views provide a natural backdrop so stunning that your photos will speak for themselves.

Complete Privacy: When you celebrate at Carriage Stone, the entire property is yours. No shared spaces, no strangers, no interruptions. Just you, your people, and one of the most beautiful settings in the Shenandoah Valley.

Rescued Horses Onsite: Our beloved rescue horses are a peaceful and meaningful presence on the property, adding a unique and grounding energy to every celebration held here. There is truly nothing quite like exchanging vows within sight of horses moving freely across an open pasture.

Sleeps 12, Dines 16: Your wedding party or celebration group can stay right on the property, making the entire experience feel seamless, intimate, and deeply personal. Combined with our sister property Madeline Farms just 8 minutes away, your group can grow to 24 overnight guests.

Events Up to 50 Guests: Carriage Stone is perfectly suited for intimate gatherings of up to 50 guests with prior approval, making it ideal for micro-weddings, rehearsal dinners, and milestone celebrations that prioritize quality over quantity.

Good to Know: Events of up to 50 guests are welcome on the property with prior approval. All event proposals are exclusive of taxes and gratuity. A security deposit may be required for events. Flexible date changes are available with no expiration. For cancellations, a full refund is available up to 30 days before arrival and a 50% refund is available up to 14 days before arrival.

Carriage Stone Farm is the Perfect Venue for:

Micro-Weddings: Exchange vows surrounded by rolling pastures, historic architecture, and breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountain views. Carriage Stone Farm offers an intimate, one-of-a-kind wedding experience that feels as personal and meaningful as the love story it celebrates.

Rehearsal Dinners: Set the tone for your wedding weekend with a beautifully catered rehearsal dinner in the farmhouse dining room, which seats up to 16 guests, or under the open sky on our wraparound porches.

Family Reunions: Gather your entire family on a historic estate with space to celebrate, explore, and reconnect. With 50 private acres, a fully equipped farmhouse, and farm experiences nearby at Madeline Farms, there is truly something here for every generation.

Anniversary Celebrations: Mark a milestone anniversary in a setting as extraordinary as the love you're celebrating. Carriage Stone Farm offers a level of beauty, privacy, and intimacy that makes every anniversary feel like the first.

Birthday Celebrations: Whether it's a landmark birthday or simply a reason to gather your favorite people, Carriage Stone Farm provides the perfect backdrop for a celebration worth remembering.

Executive Retreats: Combine meaningful connection with the restorative power of nature. Our private estate setting, remote-work-friendly spaces, and on-site culinary experiences make Carriage Stone an ideal destination for executive teams looking to reconnect and reset.

Wellness Retreats: Step away from the pace of everyday life and into the stillness of 50 private acres. From sunrise on the wraparound porch to evenings around the firepit under starlit skies, Carriage Stone Farm is a deeply restorative place to gather and unwind.
