Maribel and Daniel’s Barn at Edgewood wedding in Stanardsville, VA fell right into place with the kind of spring day that makes everything feel possible. The warmth sat gently in the air, the wind moved steadily, and the entire property carried their day exactly how it needed to.
Barn at Edgewood offers 65 acres of peaceful land with rolling pastures, a pond, and space that doesn’t need much added to feel complete. The barn itself feels clean and modern, designed to be timeless with its white walls, high ceilings, and natural light that moves beautifully through every part of it. This space gives couples the room to stay present without being rushed or boxed in.
How Maribel and Daniel Came Into This Day
Their connection carries a calm that doesn’t ask to be explained. It’s centered and focused, and it made every part of their day feel steady and grounded. They weren’t here for a performance. Their people showed up, but more than that, they showed up present. Everyone took their time, breathed it all in, and didn’t need to be told to pay attention to what mattered. The whole atmosphere felt intentional, thoughtful, and full of energy that made the day unfold exactly how it should.
Why Edgewood Made Sense
A venue that makes movement easy
The ceremony took place in the field behind the barn, about 500 yards out, where the Blue Ridge Mountains created a clean backdrop for everything that mattered. Maribel and Daniel chose that location specifically for the view. It gave them the open sky and rolling hills they had imagined when they planned the day. Their guests faced the mountains, seated in rows under the wide spring sky.
After the ceremony, Maribel and Daniel stepped under the large tree nearby to exchange the private vows they wrote for each other. That shaded space gave them a moment to breathe and speak without distraction. The entire venue made transitions like this easy and fluid.
Inside the barn, tables were set with soft linens and understated design. The layout helped everything move with purpose, and guests never had to guess where to go. Dinner flowed into toasts and dancing without a pause, and the space continued to hold everyone with ease.
Details That Defined the Day
From getting ready to dancing
Maribel’s dress fit her like it was made for the space. It had clean structure, soft movement, and a large bow in the back that pulled it all together. She got ready in the upstairs suite, where the big windows let in natural light that made every moment feel soft and warm. Her closest people surrounded her, moving easily through the morning while music played and everyone stayed relaxed.
Daniel got ready across the hall in his own suite. That room, just as bright and open, filled quickly with the sound of laughter and good energy. His parents helped him get dressed while his friends shared drinks and stories. That space felt like a break from the rush that wedding mornings sometimes bring.
The ceremony included a spoken prayer from a friend, followed by a short reflection. Their guests stayed present throughout it all. Later, the personal vows under the tree became a second moment of connection—just the two of them, speaking clearly in a quiet pocket of the land.
Dinner came next, full of warmth and movement. Even with a more intimate guest count, the reception brought real energy. Their dog made her way through the evening like she belonged in every photo. Guests played lawn games, gathered in small circles, and kept the music and the laughter moving well into the night.

You’re not just renting a barn, you’re stepping into a space that was built with purpose, and it shows in how the day flows and how people show up inside of it.
