Capacity & Layout
The Williamsburg Winery is anchored by Wessex Hall, the largest banquet room, which holds 200 seated guests and is designed in the manner of a 17th-century cruciform timbered structure, lit by iron chandeliers and featuring two stone fireplaces imported from Bordeaux, France. For an outdoor ceremony, the Wessex Hundred estate offers a number of locations for couples to exchange vows against an unforgettable backdrop of vineyards and woods, while the Wedmore Place Courtyard, the Red Wine Cellar, and the vineyard make picturesque settings for photos. That layout lets couples exchange vows amid the vineyards, then celebrate in the historic Wessex Hall, giving the day a natural flow with a genuine weather plan. That combination of a 17th-century-style timbered hall, scenic vineyard ceremony sites, and a 200-guest capacity suits weddings from intimate to larger, keeping the celebration scenic and connected from the ceremony through the last dance in Williamsburg.
Amenities
The Williamsburg Winery pairs its scenic setting with genuinely convenient, all-in-one amenities. The winery offers an on-site hotel, Wedmore Place, conveniently located next to the winery, so the wedding party and guests can stay right on the estate, and guests can celebrate at Archer Tavern, which features a wisteria-covered terrace with an outdoor bar overlooking Vidal Blanc vines. As a working winery, it offers estate wine as a genuine local touch. The 50-plus acres of vineyards, the 150-plus acres of woods, the historic timbered Wessex Hall with its Bordeaux fireplaces and iron chandeliers, and the Wedmore Place Courtyard give photographers a scenic, historic range of backdrops. For the entertainment, the enclosed Wessex Hall gives a wedding DJ excellent structure and characterful acoustics to build sound and lighting into, so the reception fills the space and the dance floor stays lively at a historic Williamsburg vineyard.
