At first, it was stressful because we found out the night before the event that the Do,inion Parade was happening at the same time, but... I got there early and was lucky enough to find parking right out front! This building was awesome, you would never know what's inside by looking at it. When you first walk in , there's a dining and bar area. Then up on the second floor is the event space, The room I set up in was the Library. I put the balloon garland up against one of the wall bookcases and the client loved it. I have got to make time to come back as a patron and experience the place.

He is fantastic with planning and has a knack for creating the exact feel you are going for with your event! The staff is incredibly friendly and the service was amazing. The chef Jon prepared us a delicious assortment of heavy hors-devours and the most mouth-watering mashed potato bar. All around 5 stars at our event. I can also say they are consistent - I attended a wedding at this venue a few years back and had a similarly lovely experience then as well. Absolutely would recommend!!

I recently visited Dover Hall for the first time for a company party and I was blown away both by…read morethe opulence of the interior and the professionalism of the staff. For a 32,000+ square foot mansion (that was originally built as a single family private home) the space is immaculately and meticulously clean and maintained to the highest standard. I did not see a single speck of dust, no cobwebs on the soaring ceilings, or stain on any upholstery. The mansion also did not feel austere or cavernous despite its size; on the contrary, it is absolutely bursting with some of the most beautiful, unique, and at times strange but wonderful decor. For example, the game room has both billiards as well as an extensive and exotic big game taxidermy collection, whereas the adjacent two-story library boasts a hand carved fireplace and a spiral wrought iron staircase. I spent most of my evening exploring every room and trying to take in as much as possible. The multitude of staff who serviced our event were both warm in their interactions as well as discreet when necessary. The in-house catering was also very good. We had a tortellini station, a raw bar, breads and spreads, as well as passed hors d'oeuvres and a dessert station, and I enjoyed everything I tried. My only regret is that Dover Hall doesn't seem to do open house hours or guided tours, because I would love to be able to return and see more of this remarkable building.

This venue is gorgeous, clean and pristine! I attended an event here and really enjoyed this space…read more It comes with this gorgeous red rose wall/backdrop that really livened up the room. The bathrooms were also nicely decorated and everything just looked brand new and well maintained. It's a large space with a foyer at the front that was being used for food. I loved how the food was separate from the event so the caterers could do their thing and not disturb the event. The venue is also equipped with AV which was useful during the event. This is a really great event venue and I'd recommend it for folks looking for a modern space to host their next event.

This is a really fun event space. It used to be the Studio Two Three location. I've been back for a…read morecouple music events and have enjoyed the space a lot. Near the entrance they usually serve some drink or food with tables up front then near the back they'll have a very intimate performance space. There is plenty of free street parking nearby. This is located in Scott's Addition. It can also be used as an affordable wedding venue. I love the bathrooms here. They are fully stocked with thoughtful things like hair ties and floss. They have a women and men restroom. I last went for a WRIR fundraiser that was incredible. They opened one of the garage doors for a food truck to serve food from. I love the way the space is divided so you can have room for dancing/music as well as sitting down. I'd recommend hosting an event here.

Once inside of the building there were two restrooms and a food prep area (fridge, microwave) that provide enough space to put together party favors and prepare finger foods. There was plenty of space for the treat table, party favor table and back drop photo area. The owner of the banquet hall is also a party planner. I sent her the theme I had in mind and she brought my vision to life. The price was affordable. Pro: affordable, good location, Cons: No stove, no confetti allowed, and The balloons used for the backdrop were small and old.

We were blown away by the food and desserts at The Mill at Fine Creek. Our guests are still raving…read moreabout each course, and the cake was stunning (even though our topper was mistakenly eaten, the team quickly provided a replacement, which we greatly appreciated). The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and created the perfect backdrop for our wedding day. That said, there are some areas where we think the experience could be even better. Communication throughout the planning process was sometimes challenging, even when we reached out with questions. On the day of our wedding, our hope was to follow the timeline we had carefully planned so that we could maximize time with our guests. Although our coordinator reassured us things were on track, the buffet ended up starting later than expected. Because of that delay, our reception ended with much less dancing time than we had envisioned. We had chosen a buffet in part because we were told it would be quicker than a plated dinner, but that unfortunately wasn't the case. We share this not to take away from how beautiful and memorable our day was, but because we believe The Mill has all the ingredients to deliver a truly seamless experience. With improved communication and a little more focus on time management, future couples will be able to enjoy every aspect of what makes this venue so special--the incredible food, stunning setting, and joyful atmosphere.

My wife and I went to a wonderful wedding held at Amber Grove Inn yesterday. The Inn is located in…read morea great area of northern Chesterfield County, conveniently located to Route 288 and the Midlothian area. My coworker, whose wedding we attended, blocked rooms out at the Holiday Inn on Midlothian Turnpike near Johnston-Willis Hospital just a few minutes away. The home dates back to the mid to late 1800s with a barn nearby. The wedding we attended yesterday had the ceremony in the barn. It was truly a special place with light filtering in through cracks in the wood. After the ceremony the guests made their way over to the reception area on the far side of the house. A tent connects with the house, allowing guests to travel back and forth under cover, which was important yesterday as there was a bit of rain. There are beautiful grounds including a gazebo and a fire pit. The staff was very attentive and the food was great. There were about 190 people at this wedding and it never felt crowded. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a wedding venue.

We could not view the wedding ceremony because their wedding venue is in the top of a barn with wooden steps as the only access. No elevator! We waited in the reception tent instead. During the reception, my wife needed to go to the rest room. We discovered that there is no wheelchair access to the house where the restrooms are and the restrooms themselves will not accommodate a wheelchair. We had to carry my wife up the stairs to the bathroom. When I asked the owner if he'd consider putting in a wheelchair ramp, he copped an attitude and said "Ain't gonna happen", "It's never been a problem until now." If you have anyone in your family with functional needs or are elderly and need wheelchairs or walkers, I'd AVOID this place since the owner doesn't see the need to meet ADA compliance standards. UPDATE - They now have wheelchair access to the main house.
