Local Area & Guest Experience

Rixey Manor is a destination in the Virginia countryside, close to Culpeper's charming historic downtown and within easy driving distance of D.C., Charlottesville, and Shenandoah. We'll help you craft a welcoming, stress-free weekend for everyone you love.

Lodging

We recommend hotels in Culpeper like Holiday Inn Express, Hampton Inn, and Best Western, along with nearby Airbnbs for guests who prefer something more private. Consider setting up room blocks and sharing booking info on your wedding website. For your VIPs, our on-site accommodations sleep up to 14.

Transportation

Rideshare can be hit or miss out here, so we strongly recommend arranging hotel shuttles for your guests. Safer, simpler, and one less thing for everyone to worry about. We'll help with suggested schedules and connect you with vetted providers. Guests who drive are welcome to leave their cars overnight and pick them up the next morning.

Getting Here

Dulles (IAD) is about 60 minutes away. Charlottesville (CHO) is around 45 minutes. Culpeper also has an Amtrak stop for guests coming from the region. We suggest encouraging guests to arrive a little early on the wedding day to account for country roads and settle in before the ceremony.

Things To Do

Give your guests a reason to explore. Share local favorites like wineries and breweries, Blue Ridge hikes, boutique shopping, and great restaurants in downtown Culpeper. For those extending their trip, D.C., Charlottesville, and Shenandoah National Park are all easy day trips. We're happy to provide a curated list you can add to your wedding website or welcome bags.

Guest Comfort

We take care of your guests from the moment they arrive. Climate-controlled interiors, ADA-friendly main areas, indoor restrooms, water and lemonade stations in summer, heaters and blankets in cooler months, and Wi-Fi throughout. Our team is always on hand to help with accessibility needs or special requests.
