Testimonials

Private Events Testimonials

"Having our reception at Common House was the best decision we made for our wedding. We received so much positive feedback from our guests: from the delicious food (we heard from many that it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had!) to the superb service from the staff (truly 5 star service!) We knew it was going to be great, but our expectations were still exceeded. We were blown away by Common House and I can’t recommend it enough!"

— Allison, Common House Charlottesville

"We had a great experience hosting a very large event at the Common House! Our group enjoyed a fun and spirited cocktail hour and then an absolutely delicious seated dinner — the staff at the Common House catered to our every need up to the day of our event, and then of course, during the event! I really enjoyed working with the Common House and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a venue for a large group that wants to have good food and wine!"

—Melissa, Common House Charlottesville

“Due to COVID-19, my now-husband and I had to postpone our wedding multiple times. Eventually, we decided to have a microwedding and Bailey and Madison helped us put all it together and handled every curveball with swift and impressive professionalism.

Everybody at CH was so wonderful and made sure that we were safe in regards to social distancing. Also, the food and drinks were amazing!!! While getting married with 8 guests was not our original plan, Common House did an INCREDIBLE job at making our wedding absolutely perfect.”

— Claire, Common House Charlottesville

"Common House was absolutely PERFECT for our wedding reception! I felt a partnership from the very beginning with the events team. The night was perfect — better than I envisioned and my guests were blown away by the experience — unlike any wedding they (or I) had attended! I HIGHLY recommend considering any of the Common House locations if you have a vision for a unique, fun wedding."
