If you are looking for the perfect wedding venue that is modern, allows all of your guests to stay in one place, is close to UVA, and caters to a luxury wedding experience, then you have to see Kimpton The Forum Hotel, which is one of the best new Charlottesville wedding venues. Situated next to the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia, Kimpton The Forum Hotel in Charlottesville, Virginia is my top choice for a UVA wedding venue, perfectly suited for the modern bride and groom.
One of my favorite photos from our recent photoshoot at Kimpton The Forum Hotel in Charlottesville was of our modern couple at the hotel’s Birch & Bloom’s Aspen Bar. The stylish setting combined with contemporary design, perfectly complemented the couple’s sophisticated elegance and fun vibe. The vibrant floral bouquet and the beautifully crafted cocktails added pops of color and personality to the scene. For me, this photo epitomized the blend of modern charm and timeless love that makes Kimpton The Forum Hotel an exceptional choice for today’s brides and grooms.
An intimate outdoor space that is romantic for creating timeless and romantic memories is The Event Lawn. I love the photo featuring the couple in a fun and vibrant atmosphere, enjoying a celebratory toast by the Aperol Spritz cart. The lush green backdrop and the couple’s playful pose bring a lively and joyful energy to the image. These photos perfectly illustrate the blend of elegance, charm, and modern sophistication that Kimpton The Forum Hotel offers, making it an ideal choice for any couple’s wedding day.
At The Forum Hotel, you have a variety of vibrant and eclectic indoor and outdoor event spaces to choose from, allowing you to create your perfect day. Whether you are planning an engagement party, rehearsal dinner, welcome party, wedding, or farewell brunch, this five-star hotel offers venues that make every event memorable. I highly recommend the Kimpton The Forum Hotel to couples seeking a luxury boutique wedding venue that combines charm and sophistication for any celebration.
