Last Wedding of 2022

Saturday, November 12th, we closed out our 2022 wedding season with the marriage of Caroline & Zachary and what a wonderful way to end our season. Caroline & Zachary had their ceremony at the UVA chapel. Many of our couples are UVA graduates that want to get married in that chapel. The hard part with that chapel is you don’t know for sure what time slot you will get until later which can lead to some logistical problems with your venue. Not at Keswick Vineyards! Because our tasting room is totally separate from our wedding venue, you have the flexibility then to start your cocktail hour/reception at any time. You don’t have to wait for our tasting room to close to be private. That is huge when it comes to the logistics of an off-site ceremony. Something for future couples to take into consideration.

I was told by many family members, as well as in the father of the brides’ toast, that Caroline & Zachary knew immediately when they toured here that this was the place for them. They had spent the entire day looking at other venues but none of them gave them the elegant, sophisticated and timelessness feeling they were searching for. Now that their wedding day was here, I can truly see why they chose Keswick Vineyards.

Caroline & Zachary went with a classic, black and white wedding. What a spectacular backdrop the estate provided for those photos. Just look at how classic these two look in front of Edgewood Estate with that black vintage car! Perfection!!!! The dress Caroline wore exemplified pure sophistication and elegance. She reminded me of Grace Kelly. And I love how Zachary wore a white tie and cummerbund to differentiate himself from the groomsmen. And thank you Mother Nature for providing them with perfect weather and one of those remarkable glowing sunsets!

One of the little details I really liked from this wedding was their escort cards. Each had a wax seal indicating the food choice each guest had made. Just another little upscale look versus a stamp imprint of a fish or cow.

One thing for sure, Caroline and Zachary wanted to have fun at their wedding and boy did they do that! I just loved the wedding gift Caroline surprised Zachary with; light up tennis shoes! It sure was easy to spot him on the dance floorJ Guests also got to enjoy a late-night snack from Chick-fil-a of some nuggets and fries. Who doesn’t love Chick-fil-a?

Lastly, Caroline & Zachary had a grand sparkler send off as they made their way to the black vintage car ready to take them away. What a perfect way to end a fairytale wedding!
