Winterham Manor - Amelia County, VA
The Story Behind the Magic
Every great love story deserves an equally compelling backdrop, and Winterham Plantation delivers in spades. Nestled in the heart of Amelia County is a place so charming it was named after King George II's daughter back in 1734. It's a place where history whispers through every room and romance blooms in every corner. The team at Winterham has one simple mission - to create the wedding experience you've always dreamed of. And trust us, they've thought of everything.
Five Ceremony Spots That Will Take Your Breath Away
Most venues give you one or two ceremony options. Winterham gives you five, each with its own personality and charm:
- Versailles Pavilion: classic outdoor elegance
- Manor Steps: stately backdrop that screams timeless romance
- Lover's Tree: natural and intimate, fairytale setting
- Event Tent: outdoor feel with indoor security
- Winterham Manor: ultimate in historic charm
More Than a Venue - It's an Experience
Here's where Winterham gets really interesting. While most wedding venues clear out at midnight, Winterham invites you to stay, relax, and truly celebrate. This isn't just a venue - it's also a bed & breakfast that can accommodate up to 20 of your closest friends and family. Imagine not having to say goodbye to your wedding party at the end of the night, but instead gathering for coffee and pastries the next morning, still glowing from the celebration.
And then there's the art gallery - because apparently being a historic manor and cozy B&B wasn't unique enough. Winterham houses Hadfield Fine Arts, LTD, featuring paintings and prints from different cultures and time periods. Your wedding guests can browse original artwork between dancing and dinner, and many couples find that purchasing a piece becomes the perfect way to commemorate their special day.
Let's Talk Numbers (Because We Know You're Wondering)
Winterham keeps their pricing refreshingly straightforward with three options designed for different celebration styles:
The Single Day Experience ($5,995) gives you 12 glorious hours to celebrate in this historic setting. The Wedding with Overnight Stay ($7,995) lets you and up to 20 guests extend the magic with accommodations for the night. And the Weekend Celebration ($9,495) is exactly what it sounds like - a full weekend of celebration and relaxation for your closest circle.
A Place Where History Lives and Breathes
Now, let's address the history. Winterham doesn't shy away from its past. This plantation served as a Confederate hospital during the Civil War, and yes, there are still visible reminders of that time in the floors. For history buffs, there's even a connection to Thomas Jefferson's family and the Virginia Military Institute that adds layers of significance to an already meaningful day.
