Unique to all of Southeastern Virginia, The First Lady is Hampton Roads premier Wedding location.
Whether you choose to have both your Wedding & Reception at The First Lady or your Reception only, our dedicated staff is passionate about helping you make This Special Day everything you always dreamed.
Weddings are booked as an “all-day” package and most of our Bridal parties spend the day at The First Lady getting ready together. We have a large Bridal Suite on the second floor where the ladies can enjoy this time together in a rich luxurious setting. We can even schedule a relaxation message for the Bride (or mother-of-the-bride or groom) in the morning.
Wedding Parties are encouraged to relax and enjoy this Day and allow us to spend the day setting up and working toward the Event.
Rehearsals are important and, as a part of the Wedding Package, we offer your Wedding Party a one hour Rehearsal at no additional fee (rehearsal time will be according to our schedule 2 weeks prior to wedding day, evening times are not guaranteed). Should you choose to have your Rehearsal Dinner at The First Lady, we offer the facility at a significantly reduced rate. You then have the luxury of having your Rehearsal and Rehearsal Dinner the night before your Wedding Day and you can bring everything in that you need for your Wedding on the night before.
For the Bride who dreams of an intimate Chapel Wedding, our enchanting Wedding Chapel can accommodate up to 112 guests comfortably. Our Ballroom accommodates up to 90 guests seated around tables, while our beautiful, covered porch can accommodate 30-40 additional seated guests. For social-style Receptions our maximum capacity is 185.
We are full service and will provide for you complete set up of the facility prior to and clean up of the facility after your Reception. Our staff will be on-site, in tuxedo, during your Wedding and Reception to assist guests, provide clean up when necessary and keep restrooms clean and stocked.
We can provide full-service catering for you or you may bring in the fine caterer of your choice (kitchen fee will apply).
