Virginia's state marketing slogan is "Virginia is for Lovers," so it's not surprising that there are many destinations for weddings in the Old Dominion. The historic plantations and mansions that are a common feature of the state are among the most popular and enduring wedding locations. Many weddings also take place at wineries in Virginia's Wine Country.
Veramar Vineyard
Located at a 100-acre estate at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Veramar Vineyard offers couples a romantic and quaint location for their wedding ceremony and reception. There are two primary locations for weddings at the vineyard--the Grand Fountain Courtyard, which includes a tented area with room for up to 150 guests, and weddings held in the vineyard. Both weddings include use of the grounds for pictures and other purposes, along with private tastings at the winery.

Jasmine Plantation
The Jasmine Plantation offers couples a chance to get married at a historically important and visually stunning location. The plantation house was built in 1750 and was used by George Washington as temporary headquarters for the Continental Army. Wedding parties can rent part of the estate or the entire plantation, including six guest rooms and 42 acres of landscaped grounds. An indoor hall offers a location for smaller functions, while larger ceremonies of up to 500 are held in outdoor gazebos. Brides looking for a "fantasy" entrance can arrive at the ceremony in a horse-drawn carriage.

Mankin Mansion
Formerly the plantation residence of masonry tycoon Edward Thurston Mankin, the Mankin Mansion lay dormant and in a state of disrepair after Mankin's death in 1953 until California couple Paula and Martin Ramirez restored the 30-room estate in 2002. The renovation process included rebuilding many locations that are used in weddings at the site, including the original brick walkways, gazebos and cottages. Ceremonies occur in the well-manicured garden while receptions happen inside the mansion.
