Weddings at The Carriage House Inn Bed & Breakfast
 The Carriage House Inn Bed and Breakfast specializes in small intimate weddings, elopement ceremonies, and renewal of vows. We want the celebration of your union to provide you with a lifetime of memories to cherish.
A wedding is more than a union between two people; it's the festive joining of two families. And we, The Carriage House Inn Bed and Breakfast, strive to provide an elegant background for you to celebrate your special moments while making it as joyful and stress free as possible for all the participants.
To that extent we will work with you or your wedding planner to provide you the ceremony you want.

We recognize that one size doesn't fit all so feel free to add additional services and build the wedding you want.
At The Carriage House Inn Bed and Breakfast we offer a number of venues for your special day. Our huge wrap around porch offers a great place for an outdoor wedding, especially during inclement weather. Our parlor is the ideal place to when you are looking for an intimate venue in a historic mansion. The Carriage House, circa 1910, is a great place for a more formal wedding with up to 30 guests. Due to zoning restrictions we must limit indoor weddings to about 30 guests. Wedding with more than 30 guests can be held on the grounds.

Now the Legal Stuff . . . .
You MUST provide a VALID Virginia Marriage License before you can be married.
A marriage license can be obtained at any Virginia courthouse (circuit court). BOTH OF YOU MUST APPLY IN PERSON FOR THE LICENSE TOGETHER. A valid ID is needed, including a picture, current address and date of birth. You must be at least 18 years old. The license does not have to come from the same city or county that your wedding will take place.
No blood test, waiting time or residency requirements are required (It is not necessary to be a Virginia resident or a US Citizen to get a marriage license in Virginia.) Once you have your license you can marry immediately! You do have to "use" your marriage license (get married) within 60 days or the license will expire.
You can obtain your license at the clerk's office in the circuit court. The hours for obtaining a marriage license are Monday through Friday from 9a.m. to 4:30p.m. (except Holidays) for $30 CASH. It is suggested however, that you call the clerk's office where you plan to get your license to confirm their hours.
Copies of marriage certificates for proof of marriage are available from the clerk's office after the original license is returned by the marriage celebrant. Provide name of groom, maiden name of bride, date of marriage and $3.00 cash or money-order for each certified copy and a stamped, self-addressed envelope if mailing.
There have been instances where couples have waited till the last minute to get their license only to find the clerk's office closed. If you do not have your license, you cannot be married.
