Troddenvale
Wedding Venue: Troddenvale at Oakley Farm
Warm Springs, VA
About Troddenvale at Oakley Farm
Nestled in the historic Warm Springs Valley, Troddenvale at Oakley Farm is a beautifully preserved mountain property and working cidery surrounded by the George Washington National Forest. Founded in 1834 and rooted in Virginia’s great springs region, the land is known for its flowing mineral waters, limestone-rich soil, and deep agricultural heritage.
The farm is lovingly owned and stewarded by our dear friends Will and Cornelia, along with their children, Angus and Eloise, who live on the property. We fell in love with both the quiet beauty of the land and the warmth of the people who care for it, and we’re so grateful to gather here with you.
