About an hour from Richmond
A Richmond-Area Wedding Venue on a Private Estate, an Hour West of the City
trade the city for the countryside
If you're comparing Richmond wedding venues, Northfield Estate is the private-estate option about an hour west of the city in Cumberland County: a white manor house, nearly 50 acres of fields and old trees, a ballroom, and a sailcloth tent for up to 200 guests.
Richmond couples come for the space and the quiet, and stay for the weekend. Our packages include nights in the estate house, so the drive home can wait until Sunday.

Countryside Wedding Venues Near Richmond, Without the Long Drive
From most of Richmond the drive is a straight shot west on US-60 through Powhatan. It's close enough that guests can come for the day and far enough that the estate feels like a getaway, with no neighbors in view and room for a 200-guest tent on the lawn.
02 Richmond
A Weekend, Not Just a Wedding
City venues are usually booked by the hour. At Northfield you can reserve Friday through Sunday: rehearsal on the grounds, the wedding Saturday, and a slow Sunday morning before checkout. No other event is booked on the estate during your weekend.
Getting Richmond Guests Here
Many Richmond guests drive out for the day; others book rooms in Farmville, about 20 minutes beyond the estate. Weddings over 150 guests use hired transportation, which can run from Farmville hotels or a central point in Richmond.
