Motley’s Mill Waterfall Wedding Venue

“I love you like a river that understands that it must learn to flow differently over waterfalls and rest in the shallows.”

–Paulo Coelho

Are you searching for a rustic, yet elegant wedding venue in Virginia?

Dreaming of an unforgettable event with a waterfall backdrop?

Want to leave the ordinary behind and experience peace, happiness, and tranquility at a unique venue?

Step foot on Motley’s Mill property, and you’ll find yourself drawn to the sound of the falls.

Motley’s Mill Waterfall Estate makes your event planning simple, easy, and convenient while providing the perfect historic waterfall backdrop. A historic site for your historic day, our 25-acre riverfront property offers unmatched waterfall views. The tranquility of tumbling water will make your special day one that no one will soon forget.

Southern Virginia’s Most Coveted Wedding/Event Venue

Motley’s Mill Waterfall Estate is located in southern Virginia’s peaceful, scenic countryside. It makes for a perfect destination wedding site and is a beautiful, all-seasons location for weddings year-round.

If you’re looking for Southern Virginia wedding venues that are elegant, rustic, or historical, you have options. But if you’re looking for a location with the “IT” factor, Motley’s Mill waterfall wedding venue is one-of-a-kind.

From our gorgeous vaulted-ceiling Chalet to our charming Villa for overnight guests, every inch of our 25-acre property is steeped in beauty. Wooden exposed beams compliment the natural majesty of our countryside estate, and our stunning dual staircase and tranquil waterfall offer countless options for breathtaking wedding photos. Did we mention the unmatched sunset views and the luxury saltwater infinity pool overlooking the falls?

Simply put, this venue is exquisite. And because we have two onsite representatives to assist with questions and parking on the day of your wedding, it makes your day magically easy. And you’ll have more time to soak up every moment and savor every memory. 

    “Your love is like a waterfall, running wild and free.”
