Oysters, Wine and Funky Jazz at Veritas Vineyard

Jennings and Matt’s April Charlottesville wedding at Veritas Vineyard tapped into a beautiful blend of city chic and countryside hospitality. The bride’s mod straight-lined dress and dazzling smile and the groom’s sharp deep blue suit shone against the venue’s rich green forested and rolling hillside backdrops.

​

Planners from Belles & Whistles arranged a stunning alfresco lawn ceremony shaded by grand oaks and showcasing panoramic vineyard views. A classic trio of violinists with a cellist welcomed guests. The wedding party joined the half-oval guest seating formation and the bride and groom stood together with their officiant, white petals and simplistic rustic spring florals at their feet.

​

Charlottesville wedding photographer Alex Tenser captured sunbeams shooting through branches, the proudest parent shots, adorable flower girls and tiny ring bearers, a father’s loving toast and dance floor graces spanning every generation. Charlottesville wedding catering by Oyster XO delivered fresh-shucked oysters on the half shell while guests sipped estate-grown wines and boogied to the ultra-funky Queen City Band.

​

Florists from Photosynthesis Floral Design built organic spring-inspired garden bouquets, sourcing local sustainable blooms that embodied the estate’s natural family farm feel. The Charlottesville wedding floral design team brought the greenhouse-style tented patio cocktail hour and reception to glorious life with fresh fragrant blooms while rentals and décor from Rent E-Quip, Paisley & Jade and BBJ Rentals elevated the artful design with plush lounge spaces and sweet country blue paisley linens.
