Virginia Beach is one of the most wonderful spots in Tidewater to plan a wedding. Instead of renting out a huge venue, why not go straight to the source of the town’s name? Plenty of companies exist to help couples take full advantage of the beach scenery without getting sand in unwanted places.

Keswick Vineyards, Keswick, VA

Keswick Vineyards is “nestled in a valley of rolling farmland and surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains.” They offer many wedding services, including a full day rental, authentic hand-stitched sailcloth Sperry tent, and inclusive packages against an exquisite backdrop.

Granby Theater, Norfolk, VA
