Okay, so let me say when I first started wedding planning I thought The Trivium was "not for me"…read morebut I went on a tour anyway and fell in love. Like, 100% changed my mind and needed to have the wedding there. From day one Victoria was AMAZING in helping us budget, plan, and coordinate the wedding. Their list of recommended vendors was a literal lifesaver in picking out the key people in the wedding. Victoria was checking in and keeping me on track throughout the whole planning process. The space is gorgeous. The house has a bridal, groom, and family suites upstairs to get ready in. Downstairs is a nice area for cocktail hour. The ballroom was large and beautiful for our reception. There are also many places outside to have a ceremony! They were so flexible in allowing me to use the space in a way that made sense for us. Everything is so personalized and unique to your wedding. Now, if that wasn't a 5 star review in itself the day of coordination might as well bump it up to a 10 star. On the wedding day Victoria made sure I was 100% stress free by organizing my vendors, keeping the bridal room calm, and doing every behind the scene thing you can imagine. The wedding was outdoors overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains and it was a cold November day, so Victoria set up a hot chocolate station with blankets to keep our guests comfortable. During the reception she made sure my husband and I were eating, drinking, and having a great time. They were even flexible enough to extend the reception for an hour because everyone was having so much fun! I couldn't ask for a better wedding. Thank you to The Trivium and Victoria for a day I will never forget!

Biggest Mistake of My Life…read more My fiancé and I were scheduled to be married November 7, 2020 at the venue. However, due to the global pandemic and steady rise of cases across the nation, we would like to postpone our event to the fall of 2021. We both are honest, hard-working individuals (healthcare professionals in fact). We do not want to (and will not) put the safety of our friends and family in jeopardy to host our special day (both of us are blessed to have all grandparents still living). We certainly could not live with ourselves if our wedding was the cause of an isolated outbreak of COVID-19, causing significant morbidity and mortality to our guests. Therefore, we contacted the trivium last week to explore our alternatives. However, we shortly discovered the venue is scheduled to be sold in 2021 and not booking future weddings. It is undetermined at this time as to whether the estate will reopen as a wedding venue. After admitting the venue could not accommodate our needs, the owner (Heidi Baker) refused to return our initial deposit. The owner proposed she could reschedule our wedding to January of 2021 and delay the closing of the venue. However, this did not accommodate our needs. In my professional opinion, postponing a wedding scheduled outdoors to January is nonsensical. On a further note, annual influenza season peaks between December and February which would increase the risk of severe health complications among our guests. We are simply seeking the refund of our initial deposit so we may secure future wedding arrangements. The initial deposit would certainly go a LONG way on future preparations! If you are looking to book a venue for your wedding this year DO NOT consider this venue.

Owners Mike and Kathy were welcoming as could be, and made sure our stay was enjoyable as could be. They even went to the lengths of leaving helpful info and the following day's breakfast menu on our bed each evening. The rooms are not only clean and welcoming, but remain in period decor, thankfully with working AC and functional bathrooms :) Breakfast was beyond fabulous- Kathy prepared juices, coffee, yogurt, fruit creations, and a scrumptious French toast croissant with warm green apple slices. To say this place was "quaint and nice" would be doing The Carriage House a great disservice; rather, it is a classy and serene locale, with plenty to do within a 20-minute drive! I would without a doubt recommend this place to anyone looking for a romantic getaway with plenty to do aside from enjoying the country life. To do locally: wineries, rafting, tubing, outdoor year-round skiing, museums, visit Jefferson's other home, bike, hike, dine out, etc. Came with a package deal from LivingSocial.com - and am thrilled I picked this "escape package" - worth every penny.

Plenty of parking and they had people in golf carts ferrying people up the hill to the barn on request. We had a great time and everything was beautiful. A lovely venue in the Blue Ridge Mountains for your wedding or special event. It is quite out in the middle of nowhere but was easy to find and the ambiance can't be beat.

My daughter had a wedding at the end of May 2026 at Sorella Farms. It is a pretty venue. Our…read moreexperience became complicated by the sale of this property just after our signing the agreement. There are several things people should know before they book this venue. One, they tell you there are several vendors to pick from for the DJ, Caterer, Florist and Bakery. That was NOT the case. They have one vendor for each of the things included in the package. The DJ paid no attention to the play list submitted by the Bride and Groom. He did not play one song on their playlist. He was also asked to do an anniversary dance, which he did not do. I would not recommend him at all. The caterer was disappointing. The food was cold and mediocrely prepared. They were frankly a bit rude to work with. The florist did a pretty good job. The bakery was supposed to do a mango cake and did a peach cake. The cake was at least moist and did taste good. You need to know this venue says it is all inclusive, but that is not really true. They want to charge you for every little thing for example $150 for a table for a cake. Michelle, who now owns this venue, is not as personable as the previous owner and really needs to work on her communication skills. Sarah, the wedding coordinator, is nice, but she was mostly absent. She was slow to react during most of the wedding. Our guests sat for over an hour with no food or direction of what was going on or what was next. She was mostly absent even before the wedding. She never made sure the bridesmaids all had their flowers or the mothers and fathers had theirs. They did not communicate well before the wedding. My daughter had to work as her own coordinator really. It was stressful because supposedly this was part of the package but in reality, we did not have a focused coordinator. We also had a medical emergency right after the wedding and there was no water or ice or anything in place to help with that emergency. The coordinator and owner were nowhere to be found when the emergency happened. The actual place for the girls to get dressed is Michelle's home. It is SO inconvenient. You cannot even place your dresses in the home on the rehearsal night. The space for the girls to get dressed is small and too warm. There is really no place for the bride to stay while she is waiting for the wedding as there are way too many windows. They should consider putting a bridal suite in that is not attached to the house so the girls can get ready at the venue. Otherwise, you have to rent something else to get ready and that is more expense. I cannot recommend this venue based on our experience. The value was in the One Stop Aspect for the money but the execution left much wanting. The owner must up her personability, the coordinator must work on her detailed and consistent focus and engagement, and the vendors list should be expanded. My daughter had a great time because we kept her from the many problems during the wedding and reception, but there are many issues with this venue. If you are looking for a wedding venue, I would be wary of this one in it's current configuration.
