    My husband and I got married at The Bedford Columns on July 7, 2018. It was literally the best day of our entire lives. Anna, was our planner who was provided through Entwined Events. She was amazing! She was what we called our “quiet force.” She was as sweet as can be, but she makes sure the job gets done and is done to perfection. And when I say to perfection, I mean perfection! Every single detail that we discussed with Anna, even the little things were not unnoticed. She made sure our day went beautifully. When I walked into our ceremony and reception space before the day began, I was absolutely speechless at how beautiful everything looked. Now, the staff provided by Entwined Events was also amazing! We had a great DJ who kept the party going, a great bartender (who was even so sweet to hand me a glass of water before I was about to walk down the aisle- pre-wedding jitters!), an amazing chef that prepared a wonderful meal for all of our guests (which everyone loved), a floral team that prepared the most beautiful centerpieces I could have ever imagined, and a wait staff that surpassed any other! Not only did we feel like royalty that day, but our guests did as well. Any time we needed something during the day Anna or another staff member were there to take care of us and help us with all of our needs. Even our guests, if they needed something a staff member was there to assist. We even had a gluten-free guest and the chef offered to prepare a separate meal for that guest. If something went wrong on the day of, I still to this day do not know of it. It was a stress-free atmosphere for ourselves as well as our guests and it made our wedding day be filled with love and laughter by all guests. I mean seriously Entwined Events really took care of us, and we are so incredibly appreciative for all of the hard work that was put into making our day so special. If I could turn around and do it again there would be not one thing I would change! If you are looking for a be

    Where to begin - my entire day was magical thanks to the team at The Bedford Columns! Kira was our planner and was more than I could have ever asked for. She anticipated absolutely everything and was taking care of it all before I even thought to ask. The food was DELICIOUS. The DJ was fantastic. The flowers - WOW. We used Carla Bruce with Entwined Events and I literally cried when I saw my bouquet. Everything, and I mean everything, was perfect. Just to give you an idea of the level of service this place provides - they put a box of food and piece of your wedding cake in your room for after the reception because they know the bride and groom barely get to eat during everything. If I could do it all over again - I wouldn't change a thing. The staff is professional, which gave me such peace of mind, and the venue is absolutely stunning. Thank you doesn't begin to describe what they did for me on such an important day in my life.

    Kira was absolutely AMAZING! She made our big day absolutely perfect and worry-free. She was on top of everything from start to finish. She repeatedly checked on me, my husband and our bridal party from the beginning of the day to the end, catering to our every need. She handled the entire day with professionalism, promptness and a take-charge attitude... which kept me from having to worry about a single thing. She met every single one of my demanding expectations, and I would definitely recommend her to any bride as their coordinator. Bedford Columns is absolutely beautiful and I'm so glad I picked this venue AND had Kira as my bridal coordinator. Five stars in my book!

    We had our ceremony and reception at The Bedford Columns, and it was picture perfect. All of Entwined Events venues are exceptionally beautiful, but it is the staff, attention to detail, and care for the bride and groom that set Kira and Entwined Events apart from others- were absolutely wonderful to work with! Kira went above and beyond to make our day more magical than we could of ever hoped for! She was always available to answer any question or concern that we had during planning. On our day, she made sure that everything was perfect, and that we had the opportunity to enjoy every moment of our wedding. We opted for a great affordable package, and we were not disappointed! The food was so amazing, and we still get compliments from our guests saying it is the best wedding food they have ever had- and I agree!! The DJ was fantastic, our flowers were beautiful, the cake was perfect, and getting ready in the bridal suite made you feel like a princess! We thank you for being a part of our day and would recommend them to any and every one!

    Our wedding is less than a year away and we chose the Bedford Columns as our venue for our reception because we fell in love with the venue at first walk through. I brought my parents back to look at the venue and they loved it as well. They have rooms for a few guests to stay in ad. They are very helpful and professional. They make sure the brides and grooms are taken care of which makes me feel more comfortable.

    Thank you, Margaret! We are excited to help you make your perfect wedding weekend all you hope it can be!

    My wife & I used Black Tie Trolley's for our Wedding Day. It was truly a wonderful experience. We throughly enjoyed having our whole wedding party together while traveling to various photo locations, as well as to the chapel. The driver was very pleasant and accommodating to our every need. The trolley was super clean and gorgeous on the inside. It definitely was one of the small pieces that made our wedding day complete.

    Bedford Columns has been so great thus far! I'm planning my wedding there from halfway across the country and they've been extremely accommodating and making it extremely easy for me! Beautiful venue, wonderful people willing to help with everything to make this my dream wedding! Couldn't have asked for anything better :)

    I started looking at wedding venues a while ago, and once we decided to have our ceremony at a private farmhouse in Bedford, I needed to find a place to hold the reception. I came across The Bedford Columns through an online search, and immediately fell in love with the pictures on their website. I went for a tour and met with Sharon and Anna, both of whom were just wonderful! Within a week, my fiancé and I booked there because after comparing the pricing and the value for what you get within a certain budget, it blew all the other places out of the water! We are so excited to celebrate our special day at the Bedford Columns estate!
    In fact, I was so impressed by the beauty and quality that the estate has to offer, that I inquired about working there as a wedding coordinator. I joined the team about a month ago as the Coordinator of Sales & Events, and I couldn't be any happier with the position. It's exciting for me to be a Bride in conjunction with helping other Brides bring their vision to life! I love being part of The Bedford Columns family and getting to share with others the gorgeous estate for their special days!

    I photographed a wedding in April at the Bedford Columns and it was beautiful! Megan and Chris were so accommodating to me as well as the bride and groom. They were very welcoming and were easy to work with. Thank you Megan and Chris! It was great to work with you both!

    I would like to recommend The Bedford Columns to anyone who is planning an event. This is the most beautiful and unique event venue in Central Virginia. As a florist I work closely with all the staff, and they are all such a delight to work with. Megan Hays is such an amazing event planner. She is so willing and eager to go above and beyond to make sure your wedding day is just as you have always dreamed it would be. Please call Megan today to set up a meeting to discuss your plans for your special day!

    My mom convinced me to stop by the Bedford Columns one day, just to see what they had to offer. I had pretty much decided (based on the grand stature and beauty of the place) that it would be out of our price range. I am so thankful we made that trip! I could go on and on about just the house itself (no detail left untouched), but that would be far too much to write. It is one of those places you just have to go see in person. Anyway, back to our wedding... The same day we stopped I was able to get an estimate for our ceremony and reception. I was in shock of how affordable it was, especially compared to other local venues we had looked at that were WAY more expensive and no where near as beautiful. Before long my now husband and I were signing a contract to hold our big day! The ladies (Galyn, Carol, and Ashley) at the Columns made it so easy to plan our wedding. They have an in-house caterer, DJ, baker, florist and wedding coordinator which really made it a one-stop-shop. (The only service we did not use of theirs was the florist because we did something different for flowers.) Communication was excellent between us, no email or phone call left unanswered. The real test of their professionalism and flexibility came when I fell down the stairs at my home one month before our wedding. I couldn't walk for two weeks and was in a boot for another two weeks. I was devastated because I HAD to WALK down the isle, not hobble. To my amazement, they had NO PROBLEM rescheduling my date, no questions asked!! Just for that, we were beyond thankful. Our NEW big day went off without a hitch. Food was good, the DJ was GREAT, service was EXCELLENT, and everyone had an amazing time! I am STILL receiving compliments about how beautiful our wedding was. Never in my dreams could I have imagined being able to have a wedding like that, but the Columns made it happen and made it affordable! I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!

    My daughter's wedding at The Columns was just beautiful! Many of the attendees have told me that it was one of the most beautiful weddings they had been to. The planning was simple and they made it easy on me, the mother of the bride! Schuyler was our director and everyone loved her! She was on top of every detail, even when I failed to think of something. Trish helped plan our wedding and was so pleasant and accommodating! My husband wanted to find a venue that would take care of the details so we wouldn't have to worry about them. We found that in The Bedford Columns. The food was delicious and they even made it all gluten-free for our two families with allergies! The DJ was really fun and never missed a beat! I would highly recommend The Columns for any special event.

    The Bedford Columns's reply:

    Hi Diane! We loved hosting you and your family for Molly & Jeremy's Wedding! It truly was a wonderful experience for us as well! We wish you all the best, and thank you for letting us share in the special day!

    Couldn't have found a better venue for my big day. It was my last stop on my venue list and I was immediately sold. It is such a beautiful venue and I even had the extra benefit of Christmas decorations for my wedding! The marines sent my husband away two weeks before my original wedding date and I was SO relieved with the understanding and flexibility they had and the communication during the rescheduling process. The food was delicious! The decorations were beautiful. To my surprise the younger generation were the shy ones to hit the dance floor and the DJ did an excellent job getting all ages out there! Overall truly the best night! Recommend this venue to anyone!

    They have been great for everything. The Bedford Columns is gorgeous and has accommodated all of our needs. To rent they are not too expensive but I think it is well worth it. I fell in love with this place and my wedding had to be here!
