Why Blacksburg?
A few things I love about Blacksburg
Culture
I grew up in the Blacksburg area and am a huge Hokie fan! We go to every game we can and celebrate from afar when we can’t! Blacksburg is one of a kind - the vibe is so community focused that you always feel at home.
Weather
If you’re a fan of seasons like me, then you’ve found the right spot! You can’t go wrong with any season here in Blacksburg. Fall is especially beautiful in Virginia, with the foliage peeking through the mountains. And summers have a beautiful calm glow about them.
Setting
Blacksburg offers beautiful mountain views, cute downtown streets and unique venues in the surrounding area that are sure to make your wedding day special. Explore some of my favorite Blacksburg wedding venues below.

Mountain Lake Lodge
You know that famous movie Dirty Dancing? Well you definitely need to check out this gorgeous wedding venue right outside of Roanoke where Dirty Dancing was filmed! This large stone hotel is just so pretty and has several lodging options on site for guests.
There are many ceremony options, including an adorable gazebo, but my favorite is definitely the overlook on the property! Whether you hold your ceremony on the mountain top (think saying I do in the sky!) or you decide to opt a few photos up there - it is SO worth the bumpy ride to the top! The venue also has a restaurant to cater and the food is delicious.
Beliveau Winery
Beliveau Winery is nestled in the mountains right in Blacksburg and is just beautiful! They have a dining room for receptions as well as two small rooms upstairs. The views for a ceremony backdrop are so pretty. The best part (in my opinion) is definitely the vineyard and the beautiful mountain views in the background!

Triple J Farms
Triple J is the most beautiful barn wedding venue tucked away in Catawba, VA with stunning mountain views! This venue is fabulous to work with - the owner is amazing and has so much to offer (centerpiece options, seating, several ceremony space options) and she’s just the sweetest!
There are horses across the street and cows behind the barn for guests to watch. Dinner is served in the dining room of the barn and then dancing is on the wraparound porch. There is always a lemonade bar as well as a s’mores station with a firepit, which is always a hit with guests!
