WHO WE ARE

Montlaurel has been our home sweet home since 2019, a peaceful and quiet 28-acre property nestled in the heart of Madison County, Virginia. Surrounded by forests, meadows, and the occasional glimpse of mountain views, it offers the kind of serene beauty that feels tucked away—without being totally remote. After years of hosting private events for family and friends, we’re opening our doors in 2025 for couples looking to celebrate with intention, warmth, and a touch of magic.

We’ve always been told we’re natural hosts, with friends often asking if they could have their own celebrations here. That encouragement helped spark the idea of offering Montlaurel for elopements and micro-weddings. Whether you're planning a quiet, soulful ceremony or a joyful evening that lingers late into the night, Montlaurel is a place where both are welcome.

It’s our absolute joy to share our home, and we can’t wait to welcome you here. It is our hope that you will arrive as guests and leave as friends.
