About an hour from Charlottesville

A Charlottesville-Area Wedding Venue on a Private Countryside Estate

rolling hills, quieter roads

Northfield Estate is about an hour southeast of Charlottesville, in the quiet countryside of Cumberland County. Couples looking at Charlottesville wedding venues and Albemarle's estates find the same rolling hills here, with a white manor house, a chandeliered ballroom, and a sailcloth tent for up to 200 guests.

Because we host one wedding at a time and publish our pricing, you know exactly what the weekend costs before you tour.

An Easy Weekend for UVA Families and Friends

For couples with Charlottesville ties, the estate is close enough for friends to come for the day and far enough to make a weekend of it. Book the Weekend or the Full Estate Buyout and keep the celebration going through Sunday.

Getting Here

From Charlottesville the drive runs southeast through Scottsville and Buckingham County on two-lane country roads. Guests who would rather not drive back that night can stay in Farmville, about 20 minutes past the estate.
