The grounds at The Seclusion have been thoughtfully shaped and meticulously manicured to frame and enhance our one-of-a-kind location.
Over 70 private acres open up to reveal 360 degree views, lush woodlands, wildflower meadows, and stunning vistas–all the perfect backdrop to your big day.
The Grounds
A Setting Like no Other
Sliding barn doors on our stunning loft area open to a custom hand-fabricated iron balcony overlooking the Grand Hall.
The expanse of windows provides incredible longrange views while allowing natural light to fill the room.
Lavishly furnished with chandeliers, plush seating, large mirrors, full bathroom with shower, heated floor, and a wet bar with mini fridge. The Loft has all the amenities to pamper you before your wedding.
The Loft
Where Leather Meets Lace
Expertly decorated with no detail overlooked – from the distressed plank floors and ceiling to the creamy rich shiplap – the main building embraces the natural light flowing from its overhead cupulas and large French doors.
The Grand Hall is showcased with sparkling chandeliers, massive stone fireplace, custom iron sconces, and a custom sound system throughout.
Farm tables, X-back chairs, and dinnerware selection for up to 175 guests are included with the venue rental.

The Quarters is a richly appointed room located in a separate barn near the main building and is included with your venue rental.
This rugged escape features oversized leather seating, a 60” smart TV, Bluetooth stereo system, bathroom with shower, and mini-refrigerators with freezers to keep your favorite beverages on hand.
Take in the mountain views while enjoying a game of horseshoes, cornhole, or darts on the lawn or sit around a stocked campfire and connect with friends before the wedding.
The Quarters
A Masculine Retreat
A glamorous corner of The Seclusion for guests to mingle or your photographers to unleash their creativity, full of over-stuffed Chesterfield leather furniture and our eclectic mirror collection!
The Lounge
A Touch of Ritz
Perched high on 72 very private acres, our expansive veranda provides a breathtaking view of the Shenandoah Valley overlooking a manicured ceremonial lawn and handsome seating area.
The peaceful atmosphere of elegant lighting and chic barn décor perfectly complements the surrounding natural scenery.
The Veranda
Views for Miles
The ceremonial lawn was designed to use the surrounding mountains as a backdrop to your wedding vows, anchored by the iconic House Mountain peaks in the distance.
A stunning flagstone path and large flagstone ceremony site provides a dramatic view of the venue.
Your guests will enjoy comfortable white padded chairs, which are included with the venue rental. Your friends and family will be inspired, awed, and charmed by the romantic scenery and the love everyone is there to celebrate!

A Fairytale Backdrop
You’ve spent months planning your wedding; now it’s time to enjoy it! There are plenty of relaxation spaces at The Seclusion, such as our two separate fire pit areas, with three total fire pits, complete with ample Adirondack seating and magnificent views.
During the day, you will enjoy a vast mountain vista, and once night falls, our remote location provides unbelievable star-gazing opportunities. Seasoned firewood and a fire pit attendant are all included in the venue rental.

The Bull Room is an elegant, versatile space just off the Grand Hall.
Crystal chandeliers and a massive handcrafted oak table, lined with demure wing-backed chairs, provides another unique space for the enjoyment of your guests.
This room is often used for desserts, gifts, or yet another, secluded mingling spot during the reception.
