WHERE VIRGINIA CELEBRATES — Hospitality in the details & heart in the experience.

Begin your wedding at The Estate at River Run, a 22,000-sq-ft Georgian-Revival manor perched above the James River. The house and grounds feel cinematic but intimate: marble floors and twin double staircases, crystal chandeliers, ornate fireplaces, and river-facing terraces that catch the sunset. It’s a private canvas for weddings that look editorial and feel utterly personal.

A brief walkthrough of our favorite spaces

• Marble Foyer & Gallery — a show-stopping first look and the perfect place for cinematic entrances and portraits beneath twin staircases.
• Primary Suite & Pool House — light-filled, calm retreats for getting ready, with room for your closest friends and those quiet morning moments.
• Cameo & Wedgewood Ballrooms — luminous rooms that move beautifully from daylight ceremonies to candlelit receptions; Wedgewood’s spiral staircase is a picture-perfect moment.
• Tuscan Ballroom & Wine Cellar — warm, rustic charm for intimate dinners and spirited after-party gatherings.
• Bluestone & Brick Terraces — river-edged ceremony sites and alfresco dining that glow at golden hour.
• Pavilion & Poolside — a grand, open air hardscape for starry-night receptions or a dramatic, rain-ready celebration.
• Woodhaven & Small Salons — cozy corners and lounges for candid portraits, cocktail nooks, and moments of quiet between events.

Each space can be combined to create a single, flowing day: get ready, first look, vows with a river view, cocktail hour by the pool, dinner in a luminous ballroom, and dancing beneath the stars. Photographers love the estate because it offers editorial variety in one private place — grand architectural moments, intimate garden scenes, and sweeping river panoramas all within a short stroll.

If you imagine a wedding that reads like a storybook and feels like home, River Run offers the private, timeless setting and thoughtful details to make it so. Schedule a private tour and we’ll show you the rooms, routes, and light that will shape your day.
