Your heart feels as if it could explode as you’re fully immersed in the contagious joy of your wedding day and you couldn’t be more excited to dance the night away in celebration.

The Hotel 

Nestled in the rolling hills of the Virginia Highlands, Nicewonder Farm & Vineyards is truly an idyllic venue for events. With so much emphasis being put on the overall guest experience at weddings nowadays, there’s truly something to be said about hosting a Nicewonder Farm wedding. The main hotel features 28 spacious rooms, a communal firepit space, full service spa, and infinity pool for your loved ones to enjoy as you prepare for your wedding day. 

(I mean, there’s definitely a reason Forbes Travel Guide featured Nicewonder Farm & Vineyards as a luxury hot spot!)

The Yurts

One of the reasons I would host a Nicewonder Farm wedding would definitely be to spend the weekend in Yurt Village on the property. These unique accommodations are actually private cottages nestled into the woods where you’re surrounded by nature and just a short walk away from both The Tasting Room and the main hotel. 

The two of you would be able to cozy up under the stars by your own romantic fire after spending the day celebrating your Nicewonder Farm wedding and rise the next morning to meet with family & friends just in time for a farewell brunch at Hickory!

(The best part? You can bring your furbabies along too!)

The Tasting Room

An absolute gem for the Abingdon, Virginia area is the Tasting Room at Nicewonder Farm & Vineyards. (It’s also a perfect location for a small soirée or rehearsal dinner gathering!) Often featuring live local musicians, you’re able to sip on a wide variety of wines. You’ll be able to feast on the freshest, Appalachian-inspired cuisine from area local Chef Milton and is one of the most talented around. 

Hard to impress foodie guests? You’ll have their vote!

Thank you for subscribing!

hi, i'm danielle—

In the past 10+ years as a Wedding & Portrait Photographer, I’ve found that, aside from arming myself with my cameras to catch swoon-worthy moments of my couples on their day, I’m also bringing a few other unexpected things. 

Like my tough love mom-voice that will keep your bridal party in check, my air of calm if you’re feeling overwhelmed, and the corniest jokes so no one has the jitters in front of the camera!

Because so much more goes into getting those gorgeous wedding photos than just hitting “click!”

and I'm not just bringing my camera to your big day.
