The Estate at River Run

About The Estate at River Run

WHERE VIRGINIA CELEBRATES
Hospitality in the details & Heart in the experience.

Start your celebration where timeless architecture, river views, and thoughtful luxury come together. The Estate at River Run is a private 22,000-sq-ft Georgian-Revival mansion set on 62 acres above the James River,  close to Richmond and Charlottesville, so your wedding feels like an elevated destination without the travel.

You’re reserving a stunning, private canvas for your day. The house and grounds deliver instant drama for photos (marble foyer, double staircases, crystal chandeliers), a variety of ceremony and reception backdrops (Bluestone & Brick Terraces, poolside, ballrooms), and a solar-covered Pavilion wired for large outdoor dinners or high-production evenings. You can reserve the estate for a single, full-day celebration so every moment flows seamlessly on the property, or upgrade to multi-day access for early vendor setup, rehearsal dinners, welcome gatherings, and two nights of on-site lodging.
