Let’s face it, planning a wedding isn’t all rainbows and butterflies. It’s a lot of work to make your special day memorable. But there is a way to enjoy the romance and wonder of the event without dealing with all the stress. Let an innkeeper plan and prepare your wedding.

Historic inns and bed & breakfasts have been a popular venue for weddings for many years. It’s easy to understand the reason. Not only is the setting perfect and romantic, but innkeepers are wedding experts. They know all the local businesses and can pick the best florists, caterers, photographers and even musicians. Innkeepers can take on all the tasks that leave brides and grooms stressed out and overwhelmed.

At the Holladay House Bed and Breakfast in Orange, Virginia, couples enjoy all the historic ambiance of this beautifully decorated and meticulously restored 1830s inn. The innkeepers have planned many weddings, vow renewal ceremonies and even offer a special elopement package. The Virginia bed and breakfast can accommodate up to 30 guests, so it’s a perfect location for a romantic, intimate wedding. They can help take care of obtaining the marriage license, finding flowers, arranging music, finding photographers and planning rehearsal dinners, receptions or bridal showers.

The Holladay House is a perfect spot for a wedding. The brick, Federal style home is decorated with antiques and boasts original features, such as the lovely fireplaces that grace several common rooms and guest rooms. Your guests will be enchanted by this special setting, and don’t forget that it’s a perfect spot for family and bridal party members to stay.
