We invite you to consider the Gari Melchers Home and Studio as the setting for your wedding or next group event. The stunning Studio Pavilion at Belmont, situated in an elegant woodland setting, is connected to the artist’s original studio building and opens onto the estate’s gardens. The Pavilion includes an event room with banquet seating for up to 100 and presentation seating for 150. The main estate lawn and flower gardens, including a charming summer house overlooking the Rappahannock River, are available for wedding ceremonies.
