About this vendor
Located in the heart of Luray, VA is the Shawnee Farms Estate wedding venue. This historic house exudes the charm and refinement of old Virginia with its elegant appearance. With 150 acres of lush grass and panoramic views of National Park mountains, couples will have the beauty of nature at their fingertips.
Shawnee Farms Estate was constructed in the 19th century as a large family home. During its development, the men had to go off to fight a war. The woman who stayed back ended up completing the home in 1863. For years, the house stood as a beautiful home where memories were created. The property also contains many historic relics from The Shawnee tribe and hidden artifacts from the war. In 2018, the house was revitalized to boast its original glory from when it was first built. It maintains its historic character but also contains modern amenities for optimal comfort. The house now offers a fully functional kitchen, washrooms, and large dining areas. Couples may use both the indoor and outdoor spaces to host their wedding celebration. The secluded property offers many serene and beautiful areas where ceremonies and receptions may take place. Gazebos and gardens found outside provide a scenic setting in which to exchange vows. From here, a 360 view of the Blue Ridge and Massanutten Mountains can be seen. For indoor space, the barn located on the property offers two levels of event space. Fire pits and garden seating are also located by the building and provide a romantic environment for love to be celebrated.
Shawnee Farms Estate has multiple wedding packages available that suit different budgets and needs. The on-site staff is dedicated to creating smooth and memorable experiences for each couple and their guests. The venue also comes prepared with tables, seating, and linens. Table decorations are also available with a variety of options.

Working with Katherine and Naomi was wonderful!! Most of our vendors had never worked with each other before and everyone communicated so well that it was SEAMLESS!!
We did our we...
dcation here and honestly we could not have picked a better place. The grounds are gorgeous and there's so many great spaces for photos in and out! Katherine and Naomi were both very responsive and helped us get everything set into place. I had so many extra flowers that I even let them do whatever they feel is best with! They followed what we wanted with decorations and added more!! It was so beautiful and I knew that I could trust them to help not only bring my vision to life but to also add their own touch and help make it even more beautiful!!!
We had two separate ceremonies and we used the gazebo for our small religious intimate ceremony and then the two big beautiful trees next to the house for a big civil ceremony. Both days turned out so perfectly! We even got the most amazing warm weather for the middle of March!!
Katherine and Naomi even helped us work things out to have our first look in the caverns and it was the most spectacular and amazing thing! Everyone was so nice and friendly and able to help us while we were at the caverns and it ended up being the perfect day!
I would highly recommend working with Katherine and Naomi and having your big day here. We will be coming back for sure and we cannot wait!!
They staff and everyone were super professional, kind and did a great job in making my wife and I’s day super special and memorable

The grounds at Shawnee are just incredibly beautiful, I cannot wait to see our pictures. This place is idyllic and the house to stay in is so charming. Great responsiveness by Katherine and her team, I highly recommend Shawnee Farms Estates, and we will definitely be coming back for a visit.
We found Shawnee Farms Estate while looking for a wedding venue in the Shenandoah Valley. As we pulled up and saw the 360 views of mountains we knew we found a special place. The...
estate house was perfectly maintained with old fashioned luxury and the property offered so many diverse ceremony sites. Our wedding turned out to be our best day ever. Guests loved the scenery and charm from another time. The staff was so easy to work with from day 1 and did everything possible to make this day so special for us. We wish we could do it all over again.
We reserved the Inn at Shawnee Estates for our daughter's fiance's family (16 people) since we booked their wedding in Luray Caverns and reception at the Shawnee Estates' Barn. The...
inn is beautiful decorated, comfortable, and very clean. Perfect for wedding guests, family reunions, ... The barn is perfect for a reception! Our Venue Director, Katherine Spain, was terrific to work with! She listened to what we had in mind, and offered ideas and suggestions. She and her team worked their magic from organizing the wedding itself, to decorating the Barn, and making sure the reception was memorable! Everything was so very beautiful! Every guest commented how lovely this venue was!
Shawnee Farms Estates is a truly magical place for a wedding. Our wedding was on the grounds by the farmhouse on June 5th, 2021 and it was absolutely gorgeous. There are so many op...
tions for where to have the ceremony and reception that you can make your entire day personalized to exactly what you want! Katherine, the property manager, is so kind and works very hard to make sure you're happy with how it all comes together. She stayed in constant communication through COVID-19, and she was very open to any idea I had for my special day. Everything came together exactly how my husband and I had envisioned...and then some! We owe a big part of how it all came together to Katherine and the team at Shawnee! THEY REALLY CARE.
My husband and I can't stop telling everyone how amazing was our wedding, and how important was Shawnee Farms Estate & LCC Staff in the making of such an amazing wedding. Katherine...
Spain and Co definitely went above and beyond helping us to make our dreams come true, the caves are a truly magical place that needed no decoration to bring out it's true brilliance. We went for the full package, that included the cave ceremony, the barn for reception, and the Airbnb for the bridal party; and that was the best decision. Not only was the ceremony at the cave magical, but the whole weekend turned into an amazing celebration that all our friends and family couldn't stop talking about, thanks to the accommodation at the Shawnee Estate Farm and Luray Caverns. We would 100% recommended this place to make your perfect wedding dreams come true.
