Kellam Estate Venue — Attraction in Virginia Beach

I really wish I was leaving a better review. Initially planning with Alex and Chelsea was perfect. They got back to me right away and were super nice which was a HUGE plus considering it was a destination wedding for us since we are military and live in WA. The day of the wedding came and upon arrival they were no where to be found. I wondered around the house looking for them because I wasn’t too sure where anything was. Fortunately I figured it out and wasn’t greeted by Chelsea until about 3hours after being there. A major issue of the night was that there are no signs on property stating the house is off limits to guest. I tried my best to tell people beforehand. But of course they didn’t listen. While we were getting ready I was able to kick some people out but once the Ceremony started it was sort of out of my control. I was incredibly shocked when I had my coordinator come up to me DURING our photos stating we had to remove all of our items from the house immediately otherwise we would be charged. This caught me off guard because we had until the reception started to do such per the contract. Nonetheless we scrambled to gather everything in a rush to get out of the house. Following this apparently a few kids wondered in the house during the night. I was told that Alex supposedly yelled at them which I don’t appreciate and was also charged fees because they spilled liquid inside. This was incredibly frustrating because I feel they should be in the house to tell people to not enter or have the doors locked since It’s out of my control. Especially since I had to run around mid cocktail hour to get all of our stuff out. At the end of the night, again I had my coordinator tell me that all the trash had to be taken off property otherwise I’d be charged a $100 fee. Which I was very caught off guard because it never stated that in the contract. Which I later brought up but still had to pay half because they already took care of the trash. I disagree with this considering it was their mistake they didn’t keep up with the fact that my contract didn’t have that new rule in it. I let it go and just let them refund me half. When we did return the next day to clean. A few items were left in the house during our rush to clean up. For instance my moms new steamer; normally you’d think they’d gather the items and let me know. Instead they found it necessary to throw them on the lawn outback. Which it rained so that new steamer is now broken. Overall I was very disappointed. I’m not sure if they had something going on which is why they were so absent during the day no where to be found but it was...

Kellam Estate is a beautiful venue!! Lots to offer for your big day. The house itself is gorgeous!! The bridal suite is the perfect space for getting ready. Super cute, large room and big windows adding stunning lighting. The groomsmen den is very cool!! Offers a pool table for the guys to play and hang!

The property has a lot to show off. From the front of the beautiful two story white and black house, gorgeous walk up the driveway, open pasture with tall trees surrounding, a red barn with chandeliers, an old school/gas house and many more special features, this place offers the most perfect picture back drop as well as lots of great spaces for entertaining!

Alex + Chelsea the owners were amazing to coordinate with. Fast with answering any questions via email and always were available to meet. The contract was very easy to read and understand. The day of, both of them were right there to greet us and to see if we needed anything. Alex gave his personal number and throughout the day was around the property incase he was needed.

They have a lot of recommendations for some amazing vendors that will help make your planning easier! I also recommend that your event start way before dark because IT’S JUST THAT BEAUTIFUL!!

Everything about my husband and I's experience at the Kellam Estates was wonderful! We had our wedding here two weekends ago, and even with the pouring rain, it was everything we could have asked for! The owners Chelsea and Alex Kellam are both incredible people to work with and if I ever have another event, that will be the place I have it! The Kellam Estates is in a prefect place where it is easy to get to but once you go down the driveway you feel like you are far away from the busy city life of VB. If you want a beautiful venue, to work with great people, a place with multiple event areas, a gorgeous area to get ready, and to have a magical night, defiantly chose the Kellam Estates! If you are planning from out of town, Chelsea and Alex are great with being quick to respond and answer all your questions. I planned from states away and it was a breeze...
