The Location - Smithfield, VA
Our wedding will be held the weekend of Jan 22-24, 2016 in the quaint town of Smithfield, Virginia. Tiny-town take-over! We think it will be a great place for us all the gather and enjoy the weekend together.
Smithfield is 30-60 minutes away from the majority of Hampton Roads major cities. The closest airports are as follows: Newport News /PHF ~ 45 minutes, Norfolk/ORF ~ 60 minutes, Richmond/RIC ~ 90 minutes.

That's our light house honeymoon suite at Smithfield Station! We've got a huge hang out room on the first floor and a private room upstairs. Weather permitting, boaters may choose to come by water. The boardwalk and docks will pretty much be our to use all weekend.
Our wedding ceremony and reception will be held at Smithfield Center, a half a mile up the Pagan River from Smithfield Station
Main Street, Smithfield, VA - just a few minutes walk from Smithfield Center. Guests can enjoy poking around the shops and restaurants and sites in this historic town. The famous Smithfield Inn and historic Mansion on Main are below.
Great nature walks into Windsor Castle Park just across from Smithfield Station. Perhaps a wedding party shot will be taken here!
Cotton won't be in season when we are in Smithfield, but the fields near Windsor Castle Park are so beautiful when it is!
Yup - this IS the town that ham built! Throw in some Virginia peanuts and you've got the major Smithfield food groups covered.
Speaking of food groups, we suspect some of you may enjoy the new brew pub in town, Wharf Hill Brewing Company (We already have!). We've heard rumors that the new Smithfield Winery will be opening soon as well.
Lots of cuteness to explore in Smithfield! All the wedding happenings will take place in less a 0.6 mile radius along the river. So unless the weather is really foul, much will be walkable. Otherwise, parking is very easy!
