The Wedding Weekend

Bar Solita

So we met at a bar...

Long before we chose a wedding venue, Bar Solita was the place where our story began. Returning to celebrate with all of you at the very spot where we first met feels like the perfect way to begin
our wedding weekend.

The Branch  Museum

Where forever begins

Completed in 1919, The Branch Museum was designed by renowned architect John Russell Pope as the Tudor Revival home of John Kerr Branch and his wife, Beulah. Today, it stands as one of Richmond's most celebrated historic landmarks. From the moment we first visited, we knew it was the perfect place to celebrate our wedding and begin our forever together.
