Welcome to Kateri Events & Weddings
Tucked away in the Shenandoah Valley—just 30 minutes from both Charlottesville and Harrisonburg, Virginia—Kateri Events & Weddings is a one-of-a-kind private event venue now open to the public.
A Hidden Gem for Unforgettable Events
For more than 40 years, Kateri was a private family estate—a peaceful retreat where love stories began, birthdays turned into backyard festivals, and memories were made in every corner of the sprawling property. Established in 1979 by Dr. William and Karen Toomy, this treasured place has now opened its gates to couples, families, and organizations looking for a beautiful, private venue to host their most meaningful moments.
Weddings, milestone birthdays, rehearsal dinners, cocktail parties, corporate retreats, and family reunions—they all have a place here.
The Luxury of a Weekend All to Yourself
Unlike typical venues, Kateri offers exclusive weekend-long access. No back-to-back bookings. No strangers rushing in before or after your event. You get the entire estate to yourself—from Friday’s relaxed setup to Sunday’s easygoing sendoff.
It’s the kind of stress-free experience that today’s couples and planners dream of. Your time at Kateri is yours, without compromise.
Nature, Beauty, and the Power of Place
Studies consistently show that beautiful natural environments enhance joy, reduce stress, and create longer-lasting emotional memories. At Kateri, the view of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the gentle rustle of the Japanese garden, and the timeless charm of the estate architecture combine to create an environment that naturally elevates every celebration.
Spacious lawns, open-concept great rooms, stained glass windows, and artfully curated gathering spots create a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor beauty that supports everything from elegant weddings to laid-back community picnics.
A Convenient Escape
Located just 30 minutes from Charlottesville and Harrisonburg, Kateri is easy to reach—but feels worlds away. It’s a destination venue that doesn’t require a plane ticket or a long drive. Whether you’re bringing together loved ones from across town or across the country, Kateri makes it easy for everyone to gather in a place that feels personal, peaceful, and unforgettable.
Celebrate in a Place Where Love Lives On
The care and intention that built Kateri still linger in every corner of the property. You’ll feel it in the warm welcome, the thoughtful touches, and the way every space seems made for joy. This isn’t just a venue—it’s a legacy of love, ready to embrace your story.
