I had my wedding at Glencliff and it was perfect! The venue was beautiful, the food was delicious, and my photos are amazing. Teresa handled everything from the food to the flowers. I was able to enjoy my wedding instead of having to set up or worry about the details. My guest loved it as well. I would recommend Glencliff to any bride in the central Virginia area.

We could not be more pleased with how our daughter's wedding turned out! From the first tour/planning meeting, throughout the process, to the final clean up after the "big day", everyone at Glencliff Manor was top notch. The food was fantastic, the flowers were beautiful, and the staff was perfectly attentive. I can't say enough good things about the "Micro Luxury" all-inclusive package and it being stress-free for us.

While I think the venue was nice, the lack of parking (parking in the grass or field), mosquitoes, broken flower pots in the oil area etc should be addressed. With a small amount of TLC the place could be fabulous!

There are truly no words to describe how seamless, stunning, and fairytale-like our wedding was at Glencliff Manor. Teresa and the team at Glencliff provided us with our dream wedding amongst the uncertainty of COVID-19. Teresa has compassion and an innate love for weddings and she was able to move mountains in order for Shea and I to have the wedding of our dreams! We could not have asked for a more beautiful and intricately designed ceremony and reception for our wedding guests.
We 100% recommend having your wedding or special event at Glencliff because they truly care about YOU and your wants/needs. We are forever grateful for Teresa and the team at Glencliff for going above and beyond for us and creating something we had only hoped and dreamed for!
