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), on the balcony overlooking the courtyard, 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."  You may also choose THE FARMHOUSE for a country wedding, if you prefer!

Love is patient, love is kind.  It does not envy,

it does not boast, it is not proud.
