A Wedding Planner’s favorite Wedding Venues in
West Virginia

As a West Virginia Wedding Planner, I’ve planned, coordinated, and executed beautiful weddings across some of the most stunning Wedding Venues in West Virginia. These spaces are my favorites not just for their looks, but for how well they function. Every venue on this list has earned my full approval, from the management teams to the overall guest experience. With years of creating calm, well‑run wedding days throughout West Virginia and beyond, I’m known for turning a couple’s vision into a celebration that feels easy from start to finish.

Why It’s One of My Favorites
Glade Creek Farm is one of those venues that can transform with every wedding. The space has true versatility. Indoor and outdoor options for ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. No two events ever feel the same. The chapel windows are breathtaking, the hydrangea bushes make summer and fall weddings feel dreamy, and the field at golden hour is unmatched. The sun hits the bride and groom perfectly every single time.
And Rhonda (Venue Owner)… she’s a gem. Her communication and care for her couples make planning here genuinely enjoyable.
Logistical Benefits
• Friday–Saturday access to the facility
• Tables and chairs included, with staff handling setup
• Ample parking for guests
• On‑site décor available, including the ability to use real candles
• Easy access for vendors and guests
• Indoor reception capacity of 150 (I recommend 125 or fewer for the most comfortable guest experience and smoother guest management)
Things to Note
• The lodge and cottage are a very short drive from the main venue. It’s quick, but not directly on the same property.

The name says it all, the view is breathtaking. A wedding here truly feels like you’re celebrating on top of the world. The mountain backdrop is unmatched, and the entire property gives you that quiet, elevated, tucked‑away feeling couples love.

Logistical Benefits
• Primarily an outdoor wedding space
• Tent‑friendly layout for weather flexibility
• Ample on‑site lodging
• Covered pavilion available

Why It’s One of My Favorites
Valley Park offers the best of both worlds. The ballroom gives you an elegant, upscale feel, while the pavilion brings in that rustic West Virginia charm with views of the creek and surrounding wildlife. It’s a great option for couples who want a classic look without losing the natural beauty of the area.
Logistical Benefits
• Flexible room sections with wall dividers to scale the space
• Seating capacity up to 450 (I recommend 350 or fewer for comfortable spacing and a good dance floor)
• Friday–Sunday facility access
• Tables and chairs included
• Ample parking
• Easy access for guests and vendors
• Versatile indoor/outdoor locations for ceremony, cocktail and reception.
Things to Note
• The venue is located inside a public park, so Saturday events may overlap. For example, during this particular wedding, a little league event was happening nearby. It did not take away from the wedding day magic!

Why It’s One of My Favorites
Lake Stephens Events Center gives you that elevated‑backyard vibe. It's warm, inviting, and tucked away. Even though it’s located within a park, the event center itself is completely secluded, so your wedding feels private and hidden from any outside activity. There’s also a short drive on the property where the bride and groom can slip away for private photos overlooking the lake.
