Since 1895, The Jefferson Hotel has stood as Richmond's most iconic and prestigious wedding venue. This five-star, five-diamond landmark in the heart of downtown Richmond showcases Beaux Arts architecture, stunning original details, and the legendary Grand Staircase where couples pause to view their gathered guests below. The hotel's magnificent ballrooms have hosted elegant wedding celebrations for over 125 years, combining timeless sophistication with impeccable Southern hospitality for events up to 450 guests.

The Grand Ballroom represents the pinnacle of elegance with sparkling original chandeliers, soaring ceilings, and tall windows lining the walls. While the ballroom's inherent beauty is undeniable, professional lighting enhancements elevate the space to match each couple's unique vision. Professional uplighting accentuates the ballroom's impressive height and architectural proportions, casting customized color washes across the walls that complement any wedding palette. The venue's classic design allows for sophisticated lighting that adds depth and ambiance while honoring the space's historic grandeur.

The Empire Ballroom offers refined elegance for up to 200 guests with an ornate ceiling and wall of French doors. Custom drapery installations provide versatile solutions for personalizing both ballrooms, from floor-to-ceiling fabric treatments that add luxurious softness to elegant backdrops framing the sweetheart table. Draping allows couples to introduce contemporary elements or romantic textures into the classic spaces while maintaining the venue's sophisticated atmosphere. Combined with precision uplighting, these fabric installations create stunning layered effects that transform the ballrooms.

The Flemish Room provides an intimate setting perfect for smaller ceremonies or dinners, with period details that complement the hotel's overall aesthetic. Pin spotting ensures every important detail receives focused illumination throughout the evening, from elaborate floral arrangements to the custom wedding cakes created on-site by The Jefferson's renowned pastry chefs.

Professional audio systems deliver crystal-clear sound throughout all event spaces. With world-class catering coordinated by dedicated Catering Managers, in-house services from Blooms at The Jefferson and Salon Vivace, luxurious accommodations for 181 guests, complimentary valet parking, and over a century of wedding expertise, The Jefferson Hotel delivers an unparalleled luxury experience.
