    My daughter was married at Sorella Farms on Aug. 27, 2022. They were professional, courteous, helpful, and efficient.

    A beautiful venue. Our daughter's ceremony was in The Woods. The scenery is amazing! The evening was beautiful! As the father of the bride I didn't have to worry about a thing. All the details were planned and executed with professionalism and excellence. A beautiful experience we will treasure for a lifetime. I highly recommend Sorella Farms.

    Amazing Team and Venue!

    Where do I even start! Sorella Farms is the most picturesque, perfect location with the BEST team to work with. We booked this location after seeing about nine total in Virginia and it was the last one we visited. When our son and NOW daughter - in - law told us Sorella was their choice we were so happy. From the first inquiry, to setting up a tour, to walking us through contracting and finally the event itself...no matter what I asked the answer was never "no" but let's find a way to make it happen.

    Mike and his team have a beautiful location - he's done major improvements since we signed and they were all amazing benefits for us. The location is dream-like - beautiful views (that's the only downer that the DJ is competing with gorgeous landscapes so you won't get dancing til after dark!). The woods was a perfect location for the ceremony especially on a hot day.

    But the real treasure is the team who bring it all to life. Mike, Kim and Sarah put heart and soul into the venue itself. Madeline Davidson (our coordinator) answered emails at all hours, checked multiple times to be sure that she was understanding our vision and personally worked to insure it was executed exactly the way we wanted. Madison, Sarah and Christalyn assisted the day of the wedding with everything from small details (I'm a little picky) to pitching in and helping take care of our "elderly" table and even dancing with our special needs daughter who found herself a little unattached for a minute.

    I really can't say enough how happy we are that our kids chose Sorella. Mike was there the day of our event and that is far more than I expect from a venue owner. This entire group went above and beyond our expectations and I only hope there's another reason for our paths to cross in the future.

    You will not be disappointed if you choose this venue!

    Sorella Farms's reply:

    Thanks Shelley for your kind words and your review. We SO enjoyed spending the weekend with you and your family. The wedding was perfect, from your choice of food, to your DJ, and your rehearsal dinner. You were great to work with, and I think the kids really enjoyed themselves. The staff and I looked forward to your wedding all year, and still talk about it today. I really enjoyed chatting with Gary about fishing and I hope he enjoyed his visit too. Again, thanks for choosing us. If we can ever do anything for you, please let me know. You are always welcome to stop in and say "hey" if you're in the area! Thanks again! :)

    Gorgeous amazing beautiful sweet place!

    Lindsey and Mike are just fabulous people! Lindsey made the tour very enjoyable! Bubbly personality and just overall the sweetest! The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and as soon as my fiancé and I stepped foot on the grounds we just knew it was THE place! We very much look forward to have our special important day at Sorella Farms next year! I truly recommend this venue. It’s beautiful and they work with you on everything. And I know they will make sure that Daniel and I have THE most amazing day ever!

    Most beautiful venue in Virginia

    We are from Northern Virginia. When we were looking for wedding venues almost 3 years ago, we searched all across the state for the picturesque scenery and venue we wanted, before settling on Sorella. Even though Sorella Farms is almost 4 hours away, we happily made the trip year after year because of how beautiful the mountains and the barn are, how gracious the owner Mike Mullins and his crew of coordinators are, and the magnetic charm and hospitality we feel when we go down South.

    Every time we come down, something has improved on the site. Mike invests his heart and soul into the place, and his coordinator Lindsey is the absolute best. Everything about the barn, the scenery, the coordinating staff, and of course the owner, are top-notch. We wouldn't have booked Sorella almost 3 years out and made everyone drive 4 hours if we didn't believe there was no other place like it in Virginia. I would gladly recommend any bride and groom to choose their venue at Sorella, you will not regret it.

    *** A note about reviews that mentioned discrimination/intolerance: By no means do we share the same ethnicity, religion, political views, or any other qualifying characteristic as Mike (we are Asian, secular, and exceedingly liberal). We had several LGBT friends and guests at our event. One of my groomsmen was transgender! Yet I never thought twice about any of this. There's not an intolerant bone in Mike's body, and perhaps when you chat with the owner too you can discover for yourself how genuine, open, and honest Mike and his staff are to everyone who wants to celebrate their special day with him. Mike poured his heart and soul into making our wedding day the best that it could be: from building our arbor for us, to adding a fountain, to building another ceremony site. Mike will do everything he can to make it happen. So a statement that Mike or his staff are "homophobic" I think is ludicrous or perhaps misguided. I hope you take the chance to visit Sorella for yourself, and fall in love with it, as we have.

    Absolutely worth it

    My now husband (!) and I booked Sorella Farms in March 2017 for our 9/21/19 wedding. Needless to say it was a LONG engagement and that included the venue being auctioned to a new owner. Now let me tell you that was probably one of the most stressful things that can happen to a stressed out bride because the venue is probably the most important thing for your wedding. We were worried that it would stop even being a venue. So you can imagine our relief when it was announced that the Mullins family (who has a son that actually owns a photography business in Lynchburg) took over and planned to keep everything the same.

    Not only did they keep everything the same, they made things even better. They made a better space for the caterers, they installed a fountain in the pond, they also will have another ceremony space (which currently they have three spaces). Mike, out of the goodness of his heart, even made a special arbor for us (we even picked the stain!) because of the difficulties we were having with another arbor. They genuinely care about the venue and their couples.

    The venue itself is gorgeous, set along rolling hills. Their barn has a vintage look to it that we fell in love with immediately. The real gem however, is the operations manager, Lindsey Thompson. Not only is she an amazingly sweet, humble human being but my god she was SO HELPFUL. She helped us during set up, she was there to bounce ideas off of(which is great considering we don't live close to Lynchburg), and she even delivered our guitar to our hotel room when we forgot it at the venue when our wedding ended. My husband and I wanted to help with cleanup and she scolded us and made us go home! Her mission was to help make sure we were taken care of, and we were. Sorella also contracts with A Little Party Events to do all the planning and day of coordination and that in itself took ALL the stress off us so we truly enjoyed the day.

    Look, I could go on and on and on but do yourself the favor and if you're considering Sorella, go ahead and book the tour. You'll see what I mean when you see it in person.

    From the very first visit to the wedding day, the staff at Sorella Farms went above and beyond to capture my daughters dreams and turn them into her Wedding Day. They absolutely covered every detail great and small, and transformed the barn and the grounds into Ellison and Tyler's Happily Ever After. I appreciated how closely the staff worked with Ellison and Tyler so that their wedding day was the exact reflection of what they had hoped it would be. Its a Blessing and a Joy to hear Ellison say that we gave her the most amazing wedding day.. Memories last a life time as do regrets ... No Regrets I would do this over and over if I could. Thank You Sorella Farms 11/11/2017 was absolutely Story Book.. Absolutely Perfect .. Absolutely a Dream Come True..

    We first visited Sorella on a rainy winter day as we began the search for a venue for our daughter's summer wedding. We knew right away that this was a very special place. Brooke gave us a tour and a vision of what the venue would look like in the summer months. Although we toured several venues after that day, we kept coming back to the excitement we felt at Sorella. Mary, Brooke, Melissa, and their staff are wonderful to work with! They met with us several times to get a vision of what was important to us and made lots of helpful suggestions to create a plan that met our needs and our daughter's theme of 'simple elegance'. The vendors they selected for us were each wonderful to work with. We simply could not have been more pleased. Our family and friends are still talking about what a wonderful day it was!

    Sorella Farms is perfection. Their staff is kind, efficient, organized and will do absolutely anything within their power to make your wedding an absolute DREAM!! They gave us a fairy tale and I will forever be so grateful to their whole team! I'm convinced they are wedding angels :) The venue is STUNNING - you hardly even have to do a thing. So beyond thrilled that we were able to get married at Sorella Farms (both ceremony and reception!!) I kept looking up from our sweetheart table thinking, "I can't believe this is our wedding!".

    I'll never forget the feeling I had the day after my wedding when I woke up and felt like everything went off without a (noticeable) hitch because of the great work by the staff at Sorella. First, having the coordinator as part of your wedding package is so incredibly helpful. When we got down to the last few days and weeks, they were available around the clock to talk details and answer questions. During my wedding planning process I had three coordinators (one had a baby and one moved) but Kaylyn picked up right where they left off and didn't miss a beat. She could sense what my vision was for my wedding and helped make it happen. The great thing about Sorella is you can really make it what you want. I really wanted an elegant/romantic/chic setting and with the right touches with my flowers and some decor it really came together. Sorella is extremely accommodating. I was determined to have chiavari chairs at my reception and they were in the process of adding them to the venue. When the chairs they ordered came in and they weren't the color they were expecting they called me immediately with a plan to get what I wanted in time. For this I am eternally grateful. Not only did I noticed the wonderful service but my wedding party would not stop talking about how the day went much smoother because of the staff. Try and use their preferred vendors. They have great relationships with them and they work really well together.

    The day of our wedding, April 29, 2017, was everything we wanted and more. Danielle was there every time I, Alan, or one of our family members needed something. Our day-of-events occurred flawlessly, Danielle had perfect timing whether it was grabbing my husband or I for the first dance, cake cutting, or sunset pictures. The time following the ceremony was filled with guests asking how we found such a magnificent venue. My husband and I had known for a long time that our venue was the best possible place we could have chosen, and we were elated to share that with the people we love.
    Back in January of this year, Danielle and her husband Brian were blessed with their first bundle of joy, a baby girl. The amount of time Danielle continued to dedicate to my wedding as a new and busy mother truly shocked me, and emphasized how incredible of a wedding coordinator she truly is. I believe the values of Sorella are sincere, family-oriented, loving, and desire to make the bride and groom feel like their fairy tale has become reality on their wedding day. I can’t thank Sorella and their team enough for everything, and I genuinely plan to keep in touch with Danielle for the rest of our lives. Don’t get me wrong, wedding planning can be challenging, and you yield whatever effort you put in, however, with the team at Sorella Farms behind you, you will have the tools necessary to have a truly magical wedding.

    Stunning Venue

    Mike and Lindsey were wonderful to work with! Lindsey called me several times during the planning process (and the ever changing plans thanks to COVID) to make sure I was doing well! The venue itself is absolutely stunning! Everyone who works at Sorella is amazing! The day of ran so smoothly! I have had many guest talk about how beautiful it is out there and several vendors tell me how great Sorella was to work with! They definitely go above and beyond!

    Where do I begin? Sorella Farms is beautiful! There are views every where you look. Not only that but the grounds are so well maintained and let's talk about the barn! The barn is stunning, with antique mirrors and chandeliers ... it is the perfect rustic space. My mother did not want me to get married outside so she asked if I would be okay if it rained. My response was simple: If I had to get married in the barn it would still be beautiful! Another favorite of my guests too were the bathrooms! They are so well decorated and so cute! Everyone loved them! On top of all that beauty, is the staff! Everyone at Sorella was accommodating and helpful. They answered all my questions, took away all the stress of the day and handled everything! I didn't have to worry about a thing. It was absolutely worth the money and I would get married there again and again and again if I could.

    When my (now) husband and I began the wedding planning process, we scheduled multiple appointments with different venues. Sorella was the 4th venue we looked at, and the last. From the moment we saw it, we both fell in love. I had my husband promise to stop me from making a decision on the spot, even though I wanted to book with them right then and there. We contemplated it, and looked online to see if we could find a different venue.... and of course, nothing could compare to Sorella! Their gorgeous hardwood floors, the chandeliers, the tulle, the twinkle lights, the MIRRORS, and the gorgeous barn! I mean this place is straight out of a dream! My husband and I had planned to have our wedding on I Do hill, a gorgeous hill by the barn with the most beautiful views! It gives your ceremony a nice backdrop! We had everything planned for the a perfect October wedding, great temperature, nice warm ceremony and a little chilly night to be able to use the fire pit they have, and most definitely NO RAIN. However, hurricane Matthew heard of our party and decided to partake on our day. It rained all day Saturday, but we loved it! The entire Sorella team went above and beyond to help us have a gorgeous rainy wedding day! They arranged our ceremony site inside the barn, and the transition from ceremony to reception went unnoticed! The ceremony felt intimate and private inside the barn. Everyone always says that they dont really get a chance to enjoy their wedding, but because of them, we were able to not only enjoy our dinner, but also we danced the night away and had the time of our lives. We booked the biggest package which comes with the facilitator, and Danielle was much more than a facilitator, though the wedding is over, I feel like I gained a friend through her. Thank you all so much for your hard work and your dedication to turn a rainy day into a day full of light and happiness! We will forever remember October 8th! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

    I cannot say enough great things about Sorella Farms. My family, fiancé (now husband!), best friend, and I looked at several venues, but decided to go with Sorella Farms. It's the most picturesque venue with a "rustic elegance" or "country chic" feel to it. We received so many compliments on how gorgeous the location was. From the beautiful barn adorned with string lights, tulle, and chandeliers to the mountain view to the quaint yellow farmhouse available to get ready in, the setting itself would be worth every penny.

    The barn is not insulated, but there is a large (inconspicuous) fan that circulates air wonderfully. We got married on a hot, humid June day, but you would have never known! Both sides of the barn have large doors that open up and create an awesome open feeling. The bathrooms are spacious and very nice and are right outside of the barn. There are two ceremony sites to choose from - one provides a bit more shade and the other is more open. Both of them have amazing views and are beautiful!

    However, what made our experience so wonderful was the people. Brooke and Mary, the owners, and Danielle, the wedding facilitator, are truly amazing people that care about you, your family, and making sure your wedding day is perfect. They always had a plan B or an answer to my questions before I even thought of them. There were several times that they thought of creative solutions to bumps in the road during the process all the way up until the day of. They made sure everything ran smoothly and allowed our wedding day to be an absolute dream. They had 3 weddings the weekend of our wedding (ours was Saturday), and they managed to make us feel like we were the only wedding they had all year! The staff is experienced, attentive, and just SO wonderful.

    Overall, I would recommend Sorella Farms a hundred times over. The venue itself is beautiful, and the staff allow you to focus on what's most important - marrying the love of your life!

    We booked Sorella in late 2014. In that time, they reinvested and made significant improvements to the venue that made it even more enchanting. Mary and Brooke were very pleasant to work with. They made suggestions that were invaluable to our decisions. They were accommodating and helpful (found us a DJ at the last minute, even negotiating a price), and sometimes took on the role as concerned mother (which was very much appreciated). Thanks to them and their staff, the day was perfect!

    LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! This enchanted venue is right out of a storybook...the farmhouse, barn, surrounding property, and rolling hills provide the PERFECT backdrop for any wedding or special occasion. I can't say enough to the professionalism and kindness of Mary, Brooke, Danielle and staff. They are like fairy godmothers taking care of every last detail with their magic wands! They are true consummate professionals that are committed to making your special day spectacular! The barn is fashioned with drapped tulle with twinkling lights, beautiful hardwood floor, gorgeous mirrors on the barn walls, hanging chandeliers, and an arsenal of rental items to add to the already extensive design backdrop. This place is a Pinterest dream come true! Their prices are extremely reasonable for the value and venue. They referred us to a fabulous DJ (Clay Sprecher), and an amazing catering company (Liberty Station) that was the icing on the cake. We will forever be grateful to Sorella Farms in making our wedding a magical day to remember! ~Holton/Wetzel wedding 4/2/16

    Sorella Farms will forever hold a special place in our hearts! What a gorgeous place to get married! Chris and I searched for months for the perfect wedding venue. We were at our wits’ end trying to make a decision. Thank goodness we finally discovered the newly-established Sorella Farms, because upon seeing it, we knew we HAD to get married there! Sorella had everything we loved about the other venues, all rolled into one perfect place. The views of the countryside are splendid, the 1800s farmhouse is beautiful, and the barn--OH, the barn!--is the most magnificent structure (and already beautifully decorated!!!!!). Choosing Sorella was the easiest decision of the whole planning process! Mary and Brooke made an immediate impression on us and my parents; they were so genuinely excited for us and wanted to do everything possible to make sure our wedding day was the best day ever. Mary, Brooke, and the Sorella staff were constantly making updates to make the venue even better: by the time our wedding day rolled around, they had replaced the wood chips in the barn with an absolutely gorgeous hard-wood floor. Mary and Brooke were super helpful throughout the planning process and were so accommodating in every way. Our wedding day was perfect and went off without a hitch, despite the thunderstorm that seemingly came out of nowhere. The Sorella staff did an amazing job getting everything set up for the ceremony and switching to the rain plan layout for the reception once the storm hit. Even a month later, we are still getting compliments on what a gorgeous wedding it was! No joke, we’ve even had people comment on how cute the bathrooms were outside the barn! And we can’t fail to mention the incredible rainbow that stretched across the sky after the storm passed. What a beautiful thing that was. Sorella was the wedding venue of our dreams, and we will forever be grateful to Mary and Brooke for all their hard work in ensuring our day was everything we had hoped for and more!

    Sorella Farms was an answer to prayer! My husband and I had only 5 months to plan our dream wedding and Sorella Farms made it happen! The sister are so kind and generous to all those they come into contact with! They accommodated our almost 200 guests with ease and confidence! I am so thankful that we got to be a part of their first wedding season!

    We ultimately chose Sorella Farms because of how decorated their barn was, and I'm so glad we did! Our wedding day was so beautiful, and we did not have to work very hard to stage the scene. The staff is extremely helpful and with the biggest wedding package, they provide a wedding coordinator. She was extremely helpful and sweet and when some things went wrong on our wedding day, she handled it without it ever coming to my attention. Sorella is family run and each person we worked with was very friendly and professional.

    Thumbs Down :(

    I'm not usually one to write reviews, nor am I trying to start a vengeful campaign against this venue, but they really hurt me and my partner and I think that's something that other folks looking to book this venue (especially queer folks and lgbt+ allies!) need to be able to take into account.

    There are a lot of great reviews for Sorella Farms online, but many of them are from before its ownership changed hands. Based on our experience with the new owner's homophobia, I would be pretty wary about whether he has other prejudices that often align with it.

    Sorella farms was beautiful when we visited, and the staff member who gave us a tour was so gracious. We were convinced almost immediately that our search for the perfect venue was over. But instead of being emailed the promised info on booking, we were told that the owner, Mike, wanted to speak with us on the phone.

    Mike let us know that, despite what we had been told by the staff, we wouldn't be able to put simple decor up to cover the gendered bathroom signs (making our trans wedding guests more comfortable) because men and women have inherently different "functions," like needing tampons versus breath mints. He randomly asked if we had planned our menu for the wedding yet, then rambled about how Virginia and anywhere near the Bible Belt was still "rough" and that we needed to know that. I thought he was revving up to tell us that some of the vendors could potentially discriminate against us, until he revealed that it was really just himself.

    Mike announced that he had "decided" that the venue would allow us to marry on the property, which I didn't realize had ever been in question. Based on his comments about not being allowed to legally discriminate against us, I wondered if the reason behind the week-long absence of booking info was because he was busy looking into his options to ban us from the venue. Unable to bar us, he stressed that we may not be comfortable getting married somewhere where the venue's owners didn't agree with our beliefs.

    I doubt that he wanted us to be "comfortable" on our wedding day, as he admitted he does not believe we should be allowed to get married at all. We had been planning on paying for a full package and letting the venue handle catering, flowers, the dj, etc., and I was worried that this giant portion of our wedding day would be overseen by someone who couldn't provide us with respectful and equal treatment. We declined to book, so I guess Mike got what he wanted without having to bring the law into it.

    I don't know that what we experienced fit the legal description of discrimination, but it certainly was heartbreaking to be faced with the choice of losing our beloved venue or spending the best day of our lives remembering that people find the biggest blessing of my life to be disgusting.

    It's pretty silly to call homophobia a "difference in beliefs." This isn't about religion (I have a feeling Mike and I share the same faith, though we practice it quite differently) or an opinion about what reality is. I don't believe that I can get married, I just can! And I will, in a big, fat, gay, joyful ceremony, and some other venue will get a ton of money that Mike could have had.
