YOUR
C eremony
The elegant grandeur of Nottoway Plantation & Resort provides several beautiful ceremony
location choices. Pledge your love in a beautiful wedding ceremony on Nottoway's front lawn,
with the spectacular historic Mansion as your backdrop, or under our centuries-old oaks on the
equally-inspiring rotunda side. You may also choose to take your vows in the beautiful Fountain
Garden Courtyard. For an indoor ceremony, consider the breathtaking setting of our White Ballroom
or the flowing beauty of the Grand Pavilion. We are also only 10 minutes away from St. John The
Evangelist Catholic Church, a magnificent sanctuary that can seat up to 900 people. And to help
you prepare for your ceremony in style, we have three elegant bridal salons so you can dress for
the wedding in surroundings as beautiful as you are!

C ocktail Hour
Provide your guests a transition to your reception with a social hour, and give yourself the
time you deserve for your first pictures as a married couple. Your guests can enjoy champagne,
punch and passed hors d'oeuvres either at your reception venue or while experiencing the ambiance
of southern plantation life in the Mansion's White Ballroom, Gentlemen's Study, Formal Dining Room
and other areas of this historic icon.
YOUR
R
eception
Celebrate your new marriage in one of our beautiful reception venues:
Randolph's Ballroom, the Grand Pavilion and the Cypress Ballroom.
Adorned by the sparkle of lavish crystal chandeliers, the grace of arched, intricately molded entryways and
columns, and almost 5,000 sq. ft. of space, our Randolph's Ballroom is the epitome of stylish elegance. The
Grand Pavilion is a dramatic covered, open-air alternative (heated and air conditioned) that can be dressed
as simply or as elaborately as your imagination allows, with 3,600 sq. ft. of very adaptable space. It shares
a courtyard with Randolph's Ballroom, allowing the two venues to be easily configured into one dazzling
venue. The large, elegantly draped windows of the Cypress Ballroom display gorgeous views of the pond
and rotunda, a stunning backdrop to this beautiful, sparkling space.
