We had my daughter's wedding on January 15. The venue and manager were wonderful to work with. Everything was ready on time and they were very accommodating of special requests.

Fantastic wedding venue - An Eventective User from Powhatan, Va

I am getting married on May 16, 2015 and so far the entire experience has been fabulous. Kim is great to work with and has answered all of my questions (and there have been a ton) quickly. This venue is a great kept secret for weddings, and it shouldn't be. I can't wait to have my special day at Father Val Hall.

Joan & Cornelius 's Wedding Reception - An Eventective User from Chesterfield Va

Cornelius and I had a wonderful Wedding and Reception at the Father Val Hall. We worked closely with Kim, the wedding coordinator, she was very helpful, knowledgeable and wonderful to work with. She made the entire process for a frazzled bride, very easy and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this venue for weddings and whatever function you are planning to have, you will not be disappointed. Sincerely, Joan and Cornelius Alexander

Family Reunion - An Eventective User from Stafford, Va

We hosted a family reunion on Saturday, December 20, 2014 at Father Val Hall. I just wanted to send a brief note to you to voice our pleasure and thanks for the success of our event. From the initial meeting to inquire about availability and cost to picking up items left behind, Kim and the other members of the staff were polite, professional and very accommodating. Thanks to their assistance, arranging our event was problem free. Their suggestions about set up and use of the space were greatly appreciated and we truly felt as if they were as concerned as we were with making our event a success. The venue is adaptable and can work for any type of event—reunion, anniversary, wedding or any other banquet requirement; has a large kitchen and offers the maximum flexibility for catering (you can do it yourself and are not locked in to a particular caterer). Parking is ample… All in all—I recommend Father Val Hall to anyone in need of a large, clean, beautiful banquet facility. Thank you, Kim! With your help, our reunion was memorable! Sincerely, Sheila Boatwright

Eisensee Wedding!!! - An Eventective User from richmond

My husband Mark and I had our wedding at Father Val Hall this past October. It was wonderful. Small, personal, and beautiful. The staff at Father Val Hall were so helpful and attainable. When ever I had a question Kim was there with a response. I wouldn't change one thing about our venue. I am very pleased with the end result. The price was affordable, the venue was beautiful and tasteful, and Kim Bise was exceptional!
