    Best decision ever!

    From the breathtaking venue of vines and rolling mountains, to the delicious food, to the exceptional staff- CrossKeys was the absolute perfect choice for our wedding day! Shelby, the events coordinator, made sure every detail was handled from beginning to end and truly exceeded any expectations I had. She easily went above and beyond her "day-of" coordination services and made the wedding planning process much easier. Her team was incredible and I was very relaxed the morning of the wedding, knowing she and her team would handle everything. I truly can't explain how lucky I am to have found this hidden gem of a wedding venue, with outstanding staff to match! I'd recommend CrossKeys Vineyard time and time again and will definitely be back to enjoy wine on their patio!

    Magical Fairytale Wedding Venue

    As soon as I saw CrossKeys I knew I had to have my wedding ceremony and reception there. The sprawling mountains, vineyards, and manicured hills were the perfect spot for my vision of my fairytale wedding. Shelby was a pleasure to work with and will seriously ensure EVERYTHING goes as planned. She really gave me peace of mind during the planning process and day of the wedding. The food at our wedding was KILLER, the steak was flavorful and tender and everyone raved about the salmon. The passed appetizers were also absolutely delicious. The wine served at the wedding was also fantastic. I could not be more thankful for CrossKeys and Shelby and her team for making my dream wedding a reality!

    The perfect wedding venue!

    Choosing CrossKeys was the single best decision we made during our entire wedding planning process (besides saying yes to an engagement :D). Everything was absolutely perfect. The views are stunning and the facilities are GORGEOUS at every turn, even down to the beautiful bride and grooms suites (that we could actually use on the morning start of hair and makeup - not something everywhere offers!). Working with Shelby was the best experience we could have hoped for. She went above and beyond making sure the day went smoothly and was able to make all of our unique asks happen, like a specialty cocktail wall and tweaking the menu to include chimichurri steak. So many guests came up to me during the night and even weeks later saying it was the best wedding food they'd ever had, and marveling that there was never a long line at the bar - even at the very start of cocktail hour. During wedding planning everyone told me something would go wrong on my wedding day and I'd have to roll with it, and I'm not exaggerating when I say not one thing went wrong and it was in large part due to the incredible preparedness and service at CrossKeys. Absolutely wonderful!! (Photos included in review by Tall + Small Photography)

    Outstanding in every way!

    CrossKeys Vineyards is an outstanding venue! The setting is spectacular surrounded by mountain and vineyard views. The venue is gorgeous, elegant and updated. The bride and groom suites are beautiful, large and fun! Shelby is the most professional coordinator/director. She knows every aspect of the venue and takes care of every detail. She always reassured us that it would all be great…. It was! She and the staff delivered! The menu selections/options are delicious and presented beautifully! We are so pleased to have chosen a venue that provides everything. We could not be more pleased! The entire day was filled with wonder❤️‼️

    It's simple: book your wedding at CKV!

    We got engaged at CrossKeys and only explored a few other venues before recognizing that it was also where we should get married. Not only was CrossKeys beautiful (both the mountain views and interior design), it was also going to be the best value for the price point. We knew the food was good and appreciated that catering and alcohol packages were available through the venue (a lot of other wineries don't offer this and you would need to hire third-part vendors for catering and/or full service bars). The barrel room and bridal/groom suites are stunning and we loved spending our time getting ready in such beautiful spaces. Aside from the aesthetics of the venue, the CrossKeys staff were great. The servers/bartenders were very friendly and pleasant, and Shelby is a rockstar events coordinator - she was responsive, accommodating, and a lot of fun to work with. Several of our guests commented on how she was "hustling" all night during the wedding - helping to serve/clear dinner plates, jumped behind the bar, etc. Not to mention that the morning after our wedding she had neatly organized all our decor, belongings, etc. that were left and had it all ready for us to easily pick-up (including my veil which I had left in the barrel room and was stressing that it may have gotten lost in the shuffle of clean-up...Shelby had my veil on a hanger and in a plastic cover the next day - I was SO thankful for that). We could go on and on about CrossKeys - but the short story is - we loved having our wedding there and would highly recommend it!

    Amazing location. top-notch staff!

    I was so grateful to work with Shelby on my wedding. She made the whole process super simple, and was open to anything. The bridal suite and groomsmen suites are incredible; it was a joy to get ready there! (Plus the food was amazing!)

    An Absolute Dream

    The team at CrossKeys gave us the wedding of our dreams. Rain made us change ceremony location last minute and they still made it magical! We had many comments about the incredible staff, the amazing food, and the beauty of the venue. Our day-of coordinator truly exceeded every expectation we had. Being a same-sex couple, we felt welcomed and special including them creating a second getting ready space that is top-notch. We cannot recommend them enough!

    Highly Recommend

    CrossKeys was the absolute perfect venue for our wedding. Nikole was amazing to work with and helped make our day go smoothly. The views are unbelievable and makes for great photography. Everything was stunning and just the way we wanted it! It was also great to have catering done through the venue! We highly recommend CrossKeys to all couples getting married!

    Best. Day. Ever!

    Where to even begin...CKV was mine and my husband's absolute dream wedding venue. Nikole and the rest of the staff made the entire process so easy and stress-free. From hosting a wedding vendor event where we were able to meet with any and all vendors we would need at once, to willingly answering countless calls and emails, and paying attention to every little detail on our wedding day they made the entire experience perfect. Not to mention their food is some of the best you will ever have!

    Beautiful and flexible venue!

    CrossKeys was truly the venue of our dreams. The whole staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating, really letting us personalize our wedding to how we wanted it to be. We loved that CKV had everything we needed (e.g. tables, chairs, linens, food, alcohol) so that we didn't have to work with additional vendors. As the bride, I loved getting ready in their spacious bridal suite and we had a mimosa bar while getting ready! It was so fun for me and my bridesmaids.

    We worked with Ariel to plan out our day perfectly. She was easily accessible through email and responded quickly to my questions. She was our day of coordinator and truly made our day perfect. She was incredibly friendly and professional throughout the whole planning process and on the day of our wedding.

    Dexter (and Ariel) were incredibly helpful while we did our tasting. Dexter let us personalize our menu and allowed us to ask for items that weren't on the catering menu (chicken and waffle sliders were SO GOOD). We got so many compliments that the food was delicious!

    We got married here a couple weeks ago and cannot say enough about how outstanding the whole experience was. Absolutely hire their day of coordinator because we worked with a couple but they were all phenomenal. On our actual wedding day, we worked with Nikole and she was amazing. She answered all our questions very quickly leading up to the day, kept track of details and helped us out with gentle reminders when the day was getting close and kept the whole day organized, smooth and amazing. And she did so with a constant smile, making her so much fun to work with! The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous rain or shine, which is good, because we actually had it rain and had to use their rain plan. Luckily, it was the best rain plan of all the vendors we had reviewed. The venue was super flexible and accomodating and we felt we were able to tailor their wine package to what we needed for a very small, very reasonable extra fee. The meeting with the head chef was also so helpful in terms of paring the food and wine. Some people are scared away by how much needs to come through CrossKeys but I've gotta say, they do an excellent job, top to bottom and all around. Every aspect is professionally done and things just work the way they're supposed to and in a way that makes a lot of sense. These guys really, really know what they're doing and really seem to enjoy their jobs.

    CrossKeys is without a doubt one of the most experienced and professional vendors available and we're so glad we chose to get married there. I'd get married there again every day and twice on Sundays. The view, the food, the wine, the staff....everything made the horrible stress of planning a wedding so much easier and I am forever grateful to them for it.

    We just had our wedding at Crosskeys Vineyards and I cannot tell you how wonderful our special day was because of the Crosskeys staff and our wedding coordinator. Everyone we worked with was extremely accommodating and helpful. Our wedding day was truly made special because of Crosskeys and their staff. The venue is absolutely gorgeous and we could not recommend a better place to have a special event!

    We had our dream wedding at CrossKeys in October. It is such a gorgeous venue, and our guests are still talking about the views, the service, the wine, and the overall experience! We can't wait to come back to visit, and we will always love the vineyard because it means so much to us. The family is awesome!!fa

    My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed getting married at CrossKeys Vineyards. The staff is fun, friendly, attentive, and very accommodating. The beautiful location and breathtaking views make it a special place for a such an event! We loved dancing under the twinkling lights of the front patio during our reception. We would highly recommend getting married at such a wonderful venue!

    CrossKeys Vineyards is the perfect place to get married! The mountain views are stunning, the architecture and layout of the building and patios really allow you to create beautiful ceremony and reception areas, and the wines are top notch! Additionally, CrossKeys has a wonderful chef and everyone commented on how good the food was (unlike typical wedding food that is usually just ok). Finally, I can't say enough about their events coordinator Katie. From the start it was apparent she is very good at what she does, and thanks to her my entire wedding day went smoothly. If you are looking for a wedding venue that is both beautiful and provides top quality service for the price, definitely check out CrossKeys!!

    Mi fiance and I fell in love with this venue immediately, and nothing about the process changed our minds. The setting is so beautiful that we were able to skimp on decorations. Their caterer was excellent; the wine was fantastic, and they were extremely easy to work with. Cross Keys can look a little pricey at first, but it is well worth the money. We couldn't be happier.

    We had our ceremony and reception at CrossKeys Vineyards. They were fabulous to work with and very flexible. Nicole Byrne is the current event manager at the vineyard and she was super friendly and we really enjoyed working with her. This place is beautiful, the backdrop where we got married had the blue ridge mountains in the background. I am so glad we chose CrossKeys!!

    Everything was GREAT! The food was definitely was a plus. The view itself is wonderful, you don't need much decoration because the scenery is great itself. The only problem I had was the day of coordinator service that they provided. She was a nice person, but was not on time with the timeline of the wedding so I did not get to do some important event like throwing my bouquet. But everything else is Wonderful! I definitely recommend this place,

    Best. Wedding. Ever. I can't say enough great things about the team here at Cross Keys. Elizabeth was so on top of things as the venue manager and she made sure that everything was in place for my big day which resulted in a stress free wedding day. Chef Dexter is AMAZING. He catered our rehearsal dinner and reception and people could not stop raving about the food. Menu planning was super easy and a lot of fun with him, because he was thrilled to tailor a menu to my unique wedding vision.

    There was snow the morning of my wedding but I was dead set on having an outdoor ceremony, so they waited until an hour before the ceremony to make the call about moving it indoors. I knew the weather would clear so I begged them to wait, and they did! And the snow moved out and it was a perfect wedding!

    What a gorgeous venue for our wedding! We are familiar with the Harrisonburg area and were so excited.
    Elizabeth was great with answering all our questions. Emails did take a while sometimes but they do seem to be very busy with weddings almost every weekend.
    The food was fabulous - the chef took our ideas and was very excited about it. We could rent the chairs, linens, and china from the venue so that was easy. I got ready with my bridesmaids upstairs in the bridal suit.
    We used a lot of the preferred vendors for the florist, cake, and DJ and they all did great because they were familiar with the venue.

    Outside of the obvious fact that this venue is BEAUTIFUL the service was absolutely top notch. We worked with Elizabeth to plan our wedding and she did an amazing job. Her attention to detail and dedication made it easy for me to relax not only the day of but in the days leading up to the wedding... after speaking to my friends and family about the process I felt a little spoiled because of how seamless everything went... I'll give Elizabeth and the team the credit for that!

    My Husband and I will remember this venue for the rest of our lives. We recommend the venue and the new chef which was fabulous. They are flexible with choosing the menu items. This made matching our budget with food preferences easy. We recieved tons of complements on the scenery and quality of the food. Overall a great pick.

    My husband and I live in Connecticut, but decided to get married in the mountains of Virginia where his family has spent vacations for the last 30 years. We got engaged at a vineyard, and knew that we wanted to have our reception at a vineyard as well, but weren't sure where to start! On a family vacation, Jeremy and I physically visited 20 vineyards looking for that special something. We wanted a beautiful setting, good wines, enough space for 150+ people, something close to reasonably priced hotels (every single guest was coming from at least 3 hours away), and near a Catholic Church. CrossKeys was everything we dreamed of and more. I was nervous about planning a wedding 1,000 miles away, but Katie, Nikoo, Chef Mike, even Paul in the tasting room made it easier than I could ever imagine. Our guests raved about the food (and they are used to NYC dining), the wines, and the location. People have even asked my bridesmaids if the pictures had the background photo shopped in because they couldn't believe how perfect everything looked. We couldn't have been more thrilled with Katie's help coordinating with our outside vendors, keeping me calm and answering all of our questions. They were even willing to hand-pass donuts for us late night on the dance floor. Chef Mike prepared one of the most delicious meals, that sadly a lot of guests couldn't finish because they gorged themselves on appetizers like scallops wrapped in bacon, and a special fig in phyllo with mascarpone that Mike was willing to make off menu for me. Our gluten free guest and several vegetarians loved their food, and our attentive waitress made sure I always had a glass of Meritage. CrossKeys is a wonderful place to have your wedding reception, dancing under the lights, having the outdoor fireplaces lit to keep your guests warm if it's a chilly night, and just generally having a night to remember. We couldn't say enough about the experience, and look forward to many wine tastings over future visits!
