Marriott Ranch Weddings

Marriott Ranch has always held a special place in our hearts. As you head down the road to this charming venue is an experience in itself—though it’s a winding and bumpy road, it’s a journey through serene rolling hills and captivating stone walls that perfectly embody the rustic beauty of Virginia. And once you arrive, you’re greeted by the timeless elegance of Marriott Ranch. It’s a historic house surrounded by sprawling landscapes that set the stage for a perfect summer wedding.

Laura and Sal’s special day began with preparations at the Marriott Ranch. Despite not having a first look, the couple’s emotional ceremony at a local church was incredibly moving. Both Laura and Sal shedding tears throughout the day. It was our first time meeting them in person, and we were immediately struck by their warmth and genuine nature. Having a friend in the bridal party made the day even more special and effortless.

One of the day’s most touching moments was Laura’s first look with her dad. It was a tear-jerker and a testament to the deep emotional connections shared on this special day. Similarly, Laura’s mom was overcome with emotion as she prepared her daughter for the big moment. These heartfelt moments were a highlight of the day, reflecting the deep investment of both families in this union.

Cocktail Hour & Reception – Marriott Ranch Summer Virginia Wedding

After the ceremony, guests returned to Marriott Ranch for a delightful cocktail hour and reception. The weather was a concern, with rain forecasts threatening to dampen the day. However, we were blessed with just a drizzle, allowing us to fully enjoy the outdoor beauty of the venue. The reception was held in a charming space across from the historic house, with options for a porch or indoor setup in case of inclement weather.

Sal’s son also added a layer of sweetness to the day. During the ceremony, he became teary eyed and emotional, full of Joy! And when Laura and Sal were pronounced husband and wife, the couple invited him to walk down the aisle with them. This gesture perfectly encapsulated the essence of their new family dynamic and brought everyone to tears.

The evening continued with heartfelt toasts, emotional dances with parents, and a grand finale of delicious ice cream sandwiches. The day was filled with love, joy, and plenty of tears, culminating in a perfect celebration!

Enjoy a glimpse into Laura and Sal’s unforgettable day through our favorite moments from this beautiful celebration.
