Enjoy a Stress-Free Wedding at a Virginia Bed and Breakfast

By Jane Leisteiner

A wedding is an event of romance, a celebration of love, a time when brides burst into tears because the wedding cake wasn't delivered on time and the flowers are the wrong color. But it doesn't have to be all stress and no fun. Let an innkeeper plan your wedding and reception, and your special day will be all you dreamed of as a little girl.

Every year, hundreds of couples marry at historic inns and quaint bed and breakfasts. Innkeepers are experts as creating romantic ambiance, dealing with guests and coordinating events. Getting married at the inn is not only romantic, but convenient. You can prepare for your special day in one of the guest rooms, get married, enjoy a posh reception and even spend your wedding night at the inn. Innkeepers can do it all - plan the ceremony, find caterers and florists, direct guests and even house them, if necessary. They do all the work, and you have all the fun.

At the Holladay House Bed and Breakfast in Orange, Virginia, couples enjoy all the historic ambiance of this beautifully decorated and meticulously restored 1830s inn. The innkeepers have planned many weddings, vow renewal ceremonies and even offer a special elopement package. The Virginia bed and breakfast can accommodate up to 30 guests, so it's a perfect location for a romantic, intimate wedding. They can help take care of obtaining the marriage license, finding flowers, arranging music, finding photographers and planning rehearsal dinners, receptions or bridal showers.

If you love old-fashioned charm and appreciate historic ambiance, the Holladay House is a perfect spot for your wedding. The Federal-style, Virginia inn has been restored with great attention to detail. Antiques and original features, such as the beautiful fireplaces, adorn the common rooms. Your guests will no doubt reminisce about this setting for years to come. Family members and the bridal party can even book rooms at the inn to make the day even more convenient.

The guest rooms are equally charming, and a perfect spot to accommodate bridesmaids and family. There are six rooms, each spacious and individually decorated. Several rooms include a fireplace and double Jacuzzi tub, so there are plenty of choices for a romantic wedding night, as well. Other amenities include CD players, TV players with DVD players, fine bath products and beds topped with soft, luxurious linens. Inn guests all are treated to a homemade, full breakfast every morning. So you and your guests can simply relax and enjoy this special time.

In the end, a wedding is meant to be a happy, romantic event. So let your helpful innkeeper take on all the pesky planning details and enjoy your special day. - 16752
