Steeped in history and surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains, these are quintessential Charlottesville venues for “I do.” Unsurpassed in elegance and style, our event spaces will fulfill your every vision for the perfect wedding celebration.

As a Site of Conscience, we are committed to engaging our guests with a deeper understanding of Monticello’s history as a plantation. Out of respect for the enslaved men, women, and children who lived and labored here, we do not allow private, non-educational events on the West Lawn, Mulberry Row, or elsewhere on the mountaintop.
