From the reviews

The Lodge at Crooked River is a world class wedding venue! We live in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia's wine country. The vineyards are fantastic places for special events as we have been to most of them. Crooked River Lodge was a destination venue for our daughter's wedding but so worth the trip for our guests.

★★★★★ — James, Nov 2017

Crooked River was an exceptional location for our formal wedding hosted in June. The owners, David and Annette, were excellent to work with in order to make our wedding dreams come to life! The weather permitted, but Annette had a back up plan in place in case of rain.

★★★★★ — Samantha, Jul 2018

I loved LOVED my wedding that took place this October! The rolling mountain views with the fall back drop was unlike any other. I would definitely recommend visiting this venue in person and meeting the owners-- when we first arrived it took our breath away.

★★★★★ — Jenna, Nov 2017

My nephew Dillon Murphy and niece Mary Kate Kinsler Murphy had their absolutely beautiful wedding at the Crooked River Farm. The venue was beyond gorgeous from the grounds, the mountains and the beautiful river bank. The reception venue and the guest house were beyond amazing in their decor.

Getting married at Crooked River Wedding and Event Venue

Crooked River Wedding and Event Venue comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
