City Cruises Norfolk was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. They were responsive, courteous, and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. The value was definitely worth it for an all-inclusive venue - the food was delicious, the wait staff was amazing, and the DJ kept our dance floor packed all day long. The crew on the day of the wedding was absolutely incredible, ensuring everything ran smoothly so we could simply enjoy ourselves. We and all of our guests had an amazing time celebrating our special day on the water. Almost a month later and everyone is still talking about it!

We had the most wonderful experience working with A Little Wedding Garden for our wedding. From our very first interaction, the staff was friendly, professional, and respectful. They went above and beyond to make sure our day was truly special. The area itself was absolutely beautiful, with lots of lovely floral decor that created a truly romantic atmosphere. Even though it was raining on our wedding day, they were so accommodating and let us come back another day to take photos in their gorgeous garden. They even gave me a couple of roses to take home as a sweet parting gift. I would highly recommend A Little Wedding Garden to any couple looking for a stunning, intimate wedding venue with incredible service.

We hosted a micro wedding at Hotel Petersburg and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. The ceremony was held in the beautifully restored Cockade Room, followed by a rooftop cocktail hour and an afterparty in the moody and unforgettable Boiler Room. Every space was stunning and thoughtfully designed. The staff was phenomenal—Erika and Savannah were a dream to work with, making every detail feel effortless. Chef Mina and Chef Wes truly impressed our guests with food that was as delicious as it was beautifully presented. The entire team was warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. We also booked a block of rooms for our guests, who found their stays comfortable and memorable. I wholeheartedly recommend Hotel Petersburg for anyone planning a private event—it’s a hidden gem with an unbeatable blend of history, hospitality, and charm.
