Venues & Event Spaces near North Chesterfield, VA

“Your expectations is a wonderful place to rent from. The owner is very respectful and she goes over and beyond to supply you with everything that you need. The instructions were easy to follow far as clean up and I was able to get my deposit back! I was happy about that. The place is very very clean and spacious. I would strongly suggest renting here and the price is sooo worth it ! I can’t see why there’s any bad reviews about this place. I will rent here again.”

“This location is right off the highway and there are plenty of restaurants close by. The suite was very clean and very spacious with two bathrooms. We didn't have breakfast there however it looked fantastic. We would definitely stay again. Thank you.”

“Once you've stepped into the Reveler, you feel like you've stepped onto another planet. This place is such an overall cool immersive experience and I can't wait to see what they do to enhance the late night music scene. Walk through the front door in Carytown and you'll see the bar straight ahead, but make sure you walk around the sides to see all of the art installations and cool interactive rooms they have. This is the perfect spot for a first date, especially on a night when they have music. All I hope for in the future, is that they move the tables and chairs before the music starts so people can be more comfortable dancing. It was very tight and squeezed up front by the band, but the room is big enough to fit a lot more people if they moved the tables and chairs. But, with that being said, you definitely won't find anything else like this place, in Carytown. So, if you're looking for something different and exciting, check this place out! I will definitely be back and I'm going to tell all of my friends to check it out as well!”

“There are simply not words in the English language capable of expressing how overjoyed I am that my husband and I elected to have our wedding at The Renaissance. We live in California, but our families live in North Carolina and Virginia, so immediately after getting engaged I began to stress over how I was going to plan a wedding from nearly 3k miles away. The minute I met Tommy and Chef Jon at The Renaissance so much of that anxiety melted away. Not only is the venue beautiful (with ready made backdrops for photos everywhere, amazing windows, get ready rooms, and stunning carpeting), but the team was responsive, empathetic, and professional. Tommy answered my emails often faster than I could read them, took time to chat with me over the phone (and later through zoom) about what we wanted, and never tried to up-sell us. Instead, he would give his honest opinion about what he thought would look or feel best, and stepped back to let my then-fiancé and I decide. Chef Jon was an absolute delight on the initial tour of the building and at no point did we feel pressured to make a decision. We toured countless locations, but my gut kept bringing me back to how good my experience was with The Renaissance. After selecting them, I knew I had chosen correctly - they were there every step of the way, helping us to plan the wedding of our dreams (and in our budget). As we inched closer to the date, Tommy matched me with my wedding coordinator, Dani, and she too was a dream. She truly helped me to get my life in order and really let absolutely nothing fall through the cracks. Even when I wanted to panic about something, she wouldn't let me - she’d simply respond with all of the ways that they could make what I was worried about work (Tommy too!). Not only was the entire team warm (and funny), but I respected just how much they honored their word throughout the entire process. If they said it, they meant it - and when you're planning a wedding that is so valuable. My guests were astonished the day of. I've gotten so many compliments on Chef Jon's DELICIOUS food (his mashed potatoes are truly unmatched), as well as his support staff - who were respectful, efficient, and friendly. Further, he met the dietary needs of a few of my guests who had extreme allergies with no difficulty at all. My entire bridal party absolutely fell in love with Dani - she ran a tight ship, and from beginning to end with no one missed their mark because of her. We were all truly impressed how she managed to keep our fun-loving and unruly party together with care and compassion, rather than frustration. Tommy was sick on the actual day of my wedding, but he had coordinated things down to the very last detail, so while his presence was missed - nothing went awry. I've received compliment after compliment from my 200+ guests, and I left that beautiful venue on absolute cloud nine. I couldn't have asked for a better team or a better place to have my wedding. Over and over again I will recommend The Renaissance - it's a choice you could never regret.”

“As a guest at this beautiful mansion I was amazed by the staff, cleanliness, and the attention we received. Everything for the wedding venue and DJ went without any issues, it was truly a fairytale wedding to attend. The owners Martin & Paula were so wonderful to every guest.”

“This place is so lovely but even better…the service. The owner, Andrew, made sure we had everything we needed and couldn’t have been more accommodating. The space is great and has a really cute sitting area with modern furniture that added extra seating for our guests. The exposed brick looks great in pictures, not to mention great lighting overall. The location is perfect with convenient parking. If you’re in need of a venue to host a private event, baby shower, bridal shower etc…please check this place out. I give it 5 stars!!!!”

“One of the best venues in RVA.The studio is always a vibe: I’ve done a lot of work there through various albums and every single time I’m able to come out of there with so much more polished work than what I went in with.It’s a busy venue, sometimes I’ve had sessions when there was an event was happening out front and it never blended or bothered or got in the way. It’s always love here and if you’re looking to book any events or studio time I would 10/10 recommend this spot. Shout out to the homie Will and the team. One of the biggest contributions to the culture in Richmond, VA- CJ The Profit”

“We used Magic Events for the first time this year for a corporate picnic. Eric and the entire staff from the initial phone call until the end of the event clean up were so helpful, accommodating and just amazing to work with. Looking forward to working with them on an event in 2024!!!”

“Have only been here for FridayJazz Night. The performances are top class such as one might expect in the better clubs in a major city like Washington, DC. We are so lucky to have these local acts showcased here in Richmond. My only issue is available seating but I don't mind standing for the unbelievable price of $5!!”

“Loved It!! We got there kinda late in the day, I think it was right before they closed, so we ( my bf & I) were the only ones there. He's from this area & he's much older than I am so he enjoyed talking about some of the history he remembers being around for and I enjoyed listening & learning alot about the history of Richmond, Va and even more so about the history of him.”

“Very fun place for smaller gatherings of different communities. Pool is kept very clean as well as the inside and bathroom. Good community that is well behaved and just having fun.”

“The previous tour had started just a little while before I got there. I choose to wait. And ended up being the only person on my tour! That was great!
My guide was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of my questions.
It certainly is a must see house. There are wonderful furnishings, many small items to be noticed.
What a fantastic place to look back in time.”

“They have reopened as The Sandman Casino & Bar. Slots, Poker, Keno, and Pool Tables. Great food and beverages. Michael and Claire, the owners/operators, are on-site and are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Happy Hour 4-7 Wednesday thru Sunday. Texas Hold'em Tournaments nightly. We enjoyed an awesome burger with onion rings. The service for the food and drinks was very good. The clientele was well behaved and seemed quite pleased with everything. Pool is only a dollar a game. Plenty of slots, no waiting. The place is clean and well lit. Seating is new and comfortable. Check them out. You'll be glad you did.”

“Wonderful location to spend a relaxing and energizing Sunday evening! The selection of various single-player and multiplayer games will keep you busy while the rest of the team members for the ‘main course’ (aka for bowling) arrive at the site; whilst, the excellent chef would satisfy your hunger with the most delicious meal options that pair up so well with on tap beer choices offered at the bar. Personally I would like to emphasize that tasting chefs burger with a glass of their hazy on tap IPA is a must!♥️”

“Adrianna hosted us for our school's leadership retreat and we had such an amazing experience! She was so helpful and set everything up so all we had to do was show up. The space itself is beautiful and the courtyard was a huge bonus. It really felt like a retreat away from everything located in the heart of Carytown. If I could give 10 stars, I would!”

“This place is hopping - as it should be, the vicinity to some of the best local food and drink joints, the killer vibes, and the rustic surroundings make this square a winner. Magnum Approved.”

“This place is so great.I had a amazing time with my family in there.Great place to take the family.Richmond needs more places like this.Amazing location.I can't wait to come back.If your looking for a great place to for Family outings. And you can leave with pics to remember your amazing time.”

“The indoor soccer field a weight area one basketball court that can be turned into 4 Corps I just went to watch my balls as youngest daughter and then play basketball”

“This is one of the nicest hotels I've stayed at. The front desk staff are very helpful, especially Anthony, who was able to answer any questions and even guide me to certain areas. The "Fall Line" has wonderful grilled salmon. Valet takes about 10-15 minutes, and you can request your vehicle online. Overall, I've enjoyed my experience.”

“I came here to take a class. I didn't actually stay here, but I was provided with breakfast and lunch, and it was prepared well. The staff and banquet hall director were extremely kind and helpful.”

“Celebrated my oldest daughter birthday. Her 14th. It was such a fun&exciting experience for her and her dad and I. She invited all her cousins and friends! They had a blast. Will definitely come again. Next time adults only. ?I heard it's so much fun!! It's very pricey so come with your pockets filled!”

“Our wedding at the Hippodrome was truly unforgettable, thanks to the professional staff, stunning venue lighting, and seamless execution that exceeded our expectations. The beauty and joy of our special day were significantly enhanced by such a splendid backdrop, leaving us and our guests deeply impressed.However, we encountered challenges during the planning process, particularly with the bar service. The biggest notable concern was the miscommunication regarding the bar service options. Initially dissuaded from opting for an open bar, which we were led to believe would cost between $5,000 to $6,000, we chose a consumption bar based on the owner's advice where based on the duration of our event and the number of people, the subtotal shouldn’t be more than $3500 based off his experience. The owner did mention there was a caveat that it could be more with heavy drinkers but also heavy drinkers could make up for lesser drinkers, so we planned for it to potentially be somewhat higher. Maybe $1 or 2k over. However, the final amount seemed to be an extremely far cry from the estimate where, after speaking with guests, didn't seem to line up with how much was drank in reality to us. Unfortunately, the consumption bar led to an unexpected expense that more than tripled the estimated amount, and more than doubled the cost of an open bar amount due to some oversight and mistakes by the bartenders.Though the owner was quick to address and correct these mistakes, offering a partial refund, which demonstrated responsiveness and a willingness to correct mistakes, this highlighted a need for clearer communication and transparency in service offerings. Had we known that the estimate could potentially be so far off from the final total (even the corrected final total and considering tax and gratuity), we would have opted for the open bar option without a thought. I personally can't imagine our group drank that much more than the average wedding based off the original estimate we were given especially after conversations with some of our guests, in particular the ones I know will drink heavily at a wedding. Also factoring in the kids, the non drinkers, the guests who left early, etc., if I'm being totally honest, it all still doesn't sit super right with me. But we are grateful the owner was kind enough to correct the mistakes on the original bill.We recognize we are not free from blame. We blindly trusted and didn’t thoroughly read the final contract and notice that the selected bar option was marked as “unlimited” and that it did not have the limit we spoke about. Put that down to the stress and magnitude of the wedding, but we should have caught that. In a perfect world, the owner would've remembered our conversation and put the limit on the proposal without us having to follow up, but that just didn’t happen and we paid for it both literally and emotionally. It is what it is.Another point of frustration was the planning of the hors d'oeuvres menu, which was difficult to navigate and gauge quantities for. Despite this, the owner managed our budget and preferences well, ensuring guest satisfaction with the culinary offerings.Reflecting on our experience, we highly recommend future clients to closely review contractual details and advocate for clear, direct communication, preferably through calls to avoid misunderstandings, especially regarding costs. While we faced challenges, notably with the final cost of bar service, these did not overshadow the magnificence of our wedding celebration.We encourage future couples to engage closely with the venue's team, utilize transparent planning tools, and ensure (cannot stress enough) mutual understanding of all service details. Despite the hurdles, the charm and professionalism of the staff and the unique allure of the Hippodrome make it a venue we still recommend. Stay proactive in communication and budget discussions, and if you're content with the final contract details, you'll have the perfect wedding.”

“I stayed here for a conference a few days ago. I checked in after 10pm. The check-in process went smoothly and I want to acknowledge the receptionist staff who were on duty Sunday night (April 14, 2024) for their exceptional service. When I arrived to my room, I began doing inspections and sanitizing. I noticed bodily fluid-like stains on the beds. I normally bring disposable sheets and pillowcases, but of course there wasn’t a better time to forget them lol. Anyway I expressed my concerns with the receptionist, who contacted the custodial supervisor onsite at the time. I want to applaud the supervisor, Mrs. Patricia, who was responsive and rectified the problem by bringing in new sheets (fresh out of the pack) and ensuring the room was up-to-par. Mrs. Patricia also made sure that I was accommodated for the mishap, to which the receptionist staff offered complimentary breakfast (although the conference I attended there provided the same). Nonetheless, my stay was pleasant overall.Rooms: The rooms have an outdated feel, as far as furniture and setup. However, the rooms gave a cozy feel.Nearby activities: There are some really good restaurants within a mile of the hotel. I didn’t walk to them, but the restaurants are in walking distance. There are also historic sites and shopping opportunities to view within walking distance.”

“Great day skating. Skateland makes skating fun, dances and games. It's a place to bring the family or for a birthday party. The building is dated but they keep it up and it was clean. It is not expensive for a fun time out for the prices things are these days. So go and have fun.”

“By far the most fun I've had in years! Came as a group, connected our playlist via Bluetooth, SMASHED. We had plenty of items and a good amount of time also did a paint room session after to wind down. Hands down will be back”
