Event Space

Upon arrival, you will be greeted by 600 acres of expansive property, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains. A grand Italianate villa among gently rolling hills and splendid foliage with an impeccable golf course provides an impressive backdrop, suggesting an event that is secluded yet dramatic. As your day unfolds, Keswick Hall offers 7,000 square feet of flexible gathering space in which to host the wedding of your dreams.

If your dream includes making the entire Keswick Hall yours exclusively (contracting all 48 guest rooms), then your options increase to include the Horizon Pool and Villa Crawford area.
