#1Walden Estate
Walden Estate (also known as Walden Hall) is a private estate and bed & breakfast on ten acres of rolling farmland in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Reva, Virginia, about 75 minutes from Washington D.C. and 40 minutes from Charlottesville. Outdoor ceremonies are held on the estate lawn beside a 2.5-acre pond or in a lush cocktail garden with a white arbor, while receptions take place in a fully heated and air-conditioned event barn with five chandeliers, ceiling draping, dance floor lighting and pallet wood walls (seats up to 160, or 200 with tenting). The property also includes a Manor House and pool suites with overnight accommodations for up to 20 guests, a saltwater pool with veranda, the Walt Whitman Wedding Suite and a groom's club room with billiards and arcade. Walden Hall operates as a raw-space venue – couples bring their own caterer and vendors with concierge assistance.
