An all INCLUSIVE SMALL WEDDING AND ELOPEMENT venue
IN THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS OF STANARDSVILLE, VIRGINIA
Welcome to the Blog!
Audrey and David wanted to plan a simple yet special wedding day, filled with rustic touches and great friends, and they certainly succeeded on both accounts! This sweet couple chose a neutral color scheme of Cappucinno and Ivory, with some lovely hunter green and pale pink accents tucked here and there, to achieve a beautiful […]
Take my hand, will you share this with me, because darling without you, all the shine of a thousand spotlights, all the stars we steal from the night sky, will never be enough… This is such an exciting post to share! Our very first wedding of 2021. We’ve been hosting wonderful elopements during the past […]
We got to celebrate such a special day with Teri-Jo and Joel for their gorgeous April elopement. When Teri-Jo sent me a photo of her Skeleton Wedding Sign, to help me get a sense of their style, I knew this was going to be a very fun and unique event! Dark colors of black and […]
I’m not even sure where to begin, describing such a special day! We simply had no idea what was in store for us before we met Barbara and Allan on the morning of their beautiful wedding day. They are the most gorgeous, sweet and easy going couple. Photographing them was a dream come true, and […]
We closed out the month of March with a breathtakingly beautiful Virginia elopement. Our bride Kimberly and her groom Woodrow were so much fun to work with. Planning with us long distance, they chose a color scheme of burgundy and blush, with a few gold accents tucked here and there, like their beautiful cake topper, […]
Our sweet bride Melissa and her handsome groom Marcus have known each other since middle school! They dated all through high school and now, 8 years later, we were so thrilled to be hosting their intimate wedding day! We planned exclusively online, which meant that our first time meeting this wonderful couple was on their […]

Have you heard of “the happiest place on earth”? I’d venture to say that the Golden Horseshoe Inn gave Walt Disney World a run for its money this past Saturday, as proud owner of that title! We were just thrilled to be hosting the wedding of two Disney super fans – our gorgeous bride Sarah […]
The sights and sounds of a wedding day can sometimes overwhelm the senses. So much beauty to take in, so many emotions, so much joy. The sights and sounds that will stick with me from Laura and Jonathan’s beautiful Virginia elopement are…the way the sunlight made their diamonds sparkle as I took photos of their […]
The pile of carefully packed boxes slowly grew, as special treasures were unloaded by the bride and groom and brought into the Golden Horseshoe Inn. What a delight to watch as our bride Skye and groom Sam gently unpacked each item, and explained its special significance. Cobalt blue toasting glasses, handmade by the father of […]
One of the most delightful parts of my job is following the journey’s and successes of our Golden Horseshoe couples beyond their wedding days. If you follow our blog (or have our brochure, on which beautiful Diana is our cover model!) you might recognize this dynamic duo (almost a trio!). I have had the honor […]
