Saturday afternoon I was privileged to marry Hilary and Michael in a heartfelt ceremony held in one of the cozy rooms at the Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm. When the ceremony began at noon the mist hung on the mountains in the background but before the ceremony was over the clouds had parted and the sun came streaming down. Hilary and Michael's ceremony was very emotional for them and full of personal touches that expressed not only their profound love for each other but also their gratitude and appreciation for their families who had traveled to share the day with them.

Hilary and Michael found me just about 6 weeks ago thru my Weekday Wedding Company and we were able to put together this lovely small wedding for them (just 16 guests) long distance via phone and e-mail. It wasn't really a "weekday wedding" but sometimes in the off-season I can make a weekday package work for a weekend day as well... luckily that was the case last weekend!

The Inn at Sugar Hollow Farm is a beautiful bed and breakfast on 70 acres in Albemarle County, about 15 miles West of Charlottesville run by Innkeepers Dick and Hayden Cabell. I've had the opportunity to visit the Inn in every season and I always wish I could stay longer to explore the beautiful landscape.. there are lots of photos on their website of the rooms and property at all times of the year. If you are planning a small wedding or just want to get away and enjoy the beauty of central Virginia then this Inn is a place that you should consider. Close enough to all the great restaurants and attractions of Charlottesville but far enough out to be completely nestled into the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and make you feel like you're a million miles away.

Dick and Hayden go to great lengths to make their Inn a warm and welcoming place and to accommodate their guests' needs . When I left on Saturday afternoon to head to another wedding in Richmond they were preparing what looked like (and smelled like) an incredible meal for Hilary and Michael's family to enjoy together. Wish I could have stayed!

Thanks Dick and Hayden for all you did to make Hilary and Michael's wedding an experience I know they will treasure always!
