About

On WeddingWire since 2014

Big Spring Farm is a barn and farm wedding venue located in Lexington, Virginia. Boasting a charmingly restored post and beam barn, acres of grounds, and ample scenic views of a lake and mountains, it is suitable for both indoor and outdoor celebrations.

Facilities and Capacity

For your romantic ceremony, you and your significant other can become official newlyweds outdoors with Big Spring Farm's beautiful surroundings as your backdrop. Under the shade of one of the lakeside trees, you can become officially married with the serene waterfront directly behind you. On the grass, the wedding party can take in the moment, seated on some lovely dark-wood chairs, as tree stumps with flower displays on them add natural color and fragrance.

All around, the site’s grounds provide a great deal of room for you and your guests to amble around and enjoy the scenery. On warm, sunny afternoons, the long grass, tended lawns, and windswept wilderness offers a variety of settings for photo opportunities. Just imagine you and your significant other indulging in some couples portraits with the yellow-green fields and dark-blue 10-acre lake as your backdrop. Wouldn’t that be something special?

With a rustic barn from the 1840s that has been heavily restored, you are provided with an ideal space to host your reception. The space measures some 2,000 square feet and can accommodate 150 seated guests. Here, long banquet-style and round tables can be arranged for everyone to sit at as they enjoy the cuisine of the day. When set with floral centerpieces, elegant plates, cutlery, and personal decor, it can truly become a customized space. The exposed wooden beams, natural light through the windows, and overall rustic ambiance, certainly make it stand out.

The barn can also work as a great place to host your indoor ceremony. Especially on days when the weather is not being cooperative, it provides shelter and makes it easier to transition to the reception space.

Outside the barn, there is a 4,000-square-foot patio with a fire pit, seating, and tiki torches. An ideal place to lounge in the sunshine, it’s easy to imagine yourself taking a moment of quiet contemplation here.

Services Offered

Big Spring Farm's staff are more than delighted for you to invite caterers onsite to prepare and serve your reception meal. In fact, they have a list of trusted caterers whom they can suggest to you. They also have a list of other vendors (florists, photographers, event rentals, calligraphers, and more) whom they can connect you with. Cleanup and setup services are both provided for you, while WiFi is also available to make use of. What’s more, lighting for both inside the barn and outside can be provided. Make sure to check out the Midland House, as well. It's a 1900's farm house, that we completely restored! Sleeping up to 10 guests and just one minute from the Big Spring Barn.

Beautiful Venue, Wonderful Experience

When our daughter got engaged and they told us they wanted to get married in Lexington, VA, I was concerned about managing a "destination" wedding because they live in southwest Virginia and we live in Hampton Roads. We didn't need to worry! During the planning process, Buddy welcomed us to visit Big Spring Farm as often as we wanted to get a vision of what they wanted for the rehearsal and wedding. He was open to my daughter and (now) son-in-law's ideas, and made suggestions to fit with their ideas. Kaila was great to work with -- she answered our questions and facilitated everything leading up to the wedding. The site itself cannot be beat! The spring is picturesque, the barn is beautiful, and the entire area made beautiful pictures. It's like Buddy and his team have thought of everything. Our daughter's ceremony was on the peninsula, dinner was in the tent and dancing was in the barn. Planning an outdoor wedding can be nerve-wracking, but because we had the barn as a backup ceremony site in case of rain, we didn't have to worry (and it didn't rain!) In addition to the setting and customer service provided by Buddy, Kaila, and the staff, it was such a pleasure to hear great things about Big Spring Farm from all of the vendors. They all seemed thrilled to work with Buddy and the staff at Big Spring Farm. Our wedding planner specifically mentioned how rare it is to work with a venue that serves its vendor so well. We could not have been more pleased with everything provided by Big Spring -- We had the rehearsal dinner at Big Spring, and we added the Bridal House and golf cart to our contract -- and we were so happy we did. We all highly recommend Big Spring Farm for your event -- whether it is big or small, you will be well taken care of!

THE Wedding Venue in Lexington, VA

Big Spring Farm has it all - stunning scenery, high quality lighting and event furnishings and a wonderful staff. Every single detail of this venue has been carefully planned and thought out. Buddy and his team are true professionals and have the experience planning and executing events that will allow each couple to be worry free about their big day. We received so many compliments of how beautiful the setting and venue was for our wedding day from our guests. Wedding packages include lighting, tables, chairs (for both ceremony and reception), bars and other accessories to help save on rental costs. We also added the bridal suite to our package which was a great choice. We highly recommend Big Spring Farm for your wedding or special event!

A dream come true!

Big Spring Farm was an absolute dream during our June 2022 wedding. We toured it in March of 2020 and knew right away that it would be the perfect place to get married. Buddy and Jill have a beautiful venue that is well maintained. Kaila was a huge help during the wedding process. All our guests were stunned at how beautiful the venue was and it will always hold very special memories for us! We really loved the peninsula for the ceremony, and the mountain views for the photos. The barn was just the right mix of rustic and modern, and it was so helpful that they include chairs and tables! (photos courtesy of Tori Parker Photos/ Victoria Holbert Visuals)
