Located approximately 30 minutes north from Winchester, I live on a quiet mountain-side with 17 acres of private property in the woods. You can get married under an archway, by a rustic barn, or at the top of our property with a quaint mountain view. Also purchase the add-on to meet our therapy pigs too!

The Fuller House, an elegent in-town mansion in Old Town Winchester Virginia, is another great indoor option for small weddings. As with the Nancy Shepherd House, I partner with owner Susan Winkeler and assistant David McLaughlin to offer this affordable indoor location as an option for couples looking to hold a short wedding ceremony. A larger and roomier indoor option, the Fuller House is a large house, right downtown just two blocks from the restaurants, bars, coffee houses, and shops on Winchester Virginia’s Old Town Pedestrian Mall.
The Fuller House is named after the well-known Doctor William Fuller of 19th century fame in Winchester Virginia. This amazing historic down-town mansion has a spectacular large open floor plan and private garden.
If you are looking for something different from a party barn, a country estate, country club, hotel banquet room, the Fuller House just may be the answer.
