Weddings

Not up for a big church style wedding?  

Think outside the pew. Consider our beautiful B&B 

when planning your smaller, more intimate ceremony 

for 7-10 members.  

 

We hear many reasons a bride & groom prefer to hold their ceremony with us.  

Sometimes it's a second marriage for one or both, and 
sometimes a religious ceremony would just not be comfortable.  
Occasionally, a wedding is planned following a family illness or crisis.  

And often, all the hectic planning and cost for a large wedding 
is just "too much stress" for the most romantic day of their lives.  

 

Your Small Wedding Package includes:

  •  Bed and Breakfast accommodations for 2 nights, 3 rooms for 7 people
     10 guests at the wedding maximum

  • 2 hour use of the B&B for the ceremony & reception

"Virginia is for Lovers"

The phrase came from a creative team headed by George Woltz of Martin & Woltz Inc., the Richmond advertising agency that won the Virginia State Travel Service account in 1968. According to Martin, a copywriter named Robin McLaughlin came up with an advertising concept that read, “Virginia is for history lovers.” For a beach-oriented ad, the headline would have read, “Virginia is for beach lovers”; for a mountains ad, “Virginia is for mountain lovers,” and so on. Martin thought the approach might be too limiting. Woltz agreed, and the agency dropped the modifier and made it simply “Virginia Is For Lovers.” The first ad mentioning the new slogan ran in the March 1969 issue of "Modern Bride."

The phrase was considered bold and provocative, but it was also just plain smart from a marketing perspective. It planted a seed — a new image of a more exciting Virginia — with a generation that would become the most sought-after group of spenders ever to wield a credit card.

No one knows exactly why “Virginia Is for Lovers” has been so durable, but part of the mystique of the slogan is that it has meant many things to different people. Today, a new generation is discovering love for Virginia’s mountains, beaches, history, theme parks, vibrant cities, outdoor activities, sports and hospitality.  And the fact that Virginia doesn't require a waiting period or blood tests after applying and receiving a wedding license certainly helps the slogan's popularity.

And the story continues.  Virginia is for Lovers 35th anniversary logo
