Elope to Historic Staunton, VA -- Special Wedding Packages for Two
Walk to everything in downtown Staunton, VA from our B&B!
The purpose of an elopement package or a small destination wedding at The Staunton Choral Gardens B & B is to create an intimate, relaxing and memorable event without the stress and expense of a large ceremony. Ceremonies can be performed either in the Front Parlor of the Main House (in front of the fireplace) or outdoors in any of our beautiful gardens which include: the courtyard/water garden area, the lower garden under the tree, the covered swing area, the balcony overlooking the courtyard, or on the porch of "The Carriage House."
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy,
it does not boast, it is not proud.

Did you know:
It was the accepted
practice in Babylon 4,000 years ago that for a month after the wedding, the bride's father would supply his son-in-law with all the mead he could drink. Mead is a honey beer and because their calendar was lunar based, this period was called the honey month, which we know today as the honeymoon.
