Against the backdrop of the Shenandoah Valley, our venue transformed into a scene from a fairy tale. The ceremony lawn was adorned with hundreds of candles in glass cylinders, creating a pathway illuminated by soft, flickering light. It was a sight to behold as guests made their way to their seats, guided by the gentle glow of candle flames.

The key to achieving this ethereal ambiance? Timing. With careful consideration of the sunset schedule, we orchestrated the placement of each candle to align perfectly with the changing light. As the ceremony unfolded, the transition from daylight to dusk was seamless, creating a magical atmosphere that captured the essence of romance and elegance.
