Didn't have a pleasant experience when meeting the owner and her associate. Rude, and, condescending. I visit Culpeper a few times a week during the busy season, so if things change, I will gladly change the review to 5 stars.

It was a nice quaint venue.

Rude and inconsiderate, do not recommend.

The Refinery is an absolutely stunning wedding venue! My husband and I held our wedding here in early September, and it was a dream wedding day. From the very start, interacting with Joy and Julie was so easy. We lived outside the local area, and they were extremely helpful with vendor recommendation.

I can’t emphasize enough how much we as the couple and our guests appreciated our night at the Refinery. Thank you Joy and Julie! Less

The venue was absolutely beautiful, modern and thoughtful.

In my opinion, completely rude and inconsiderate. Do not recommend.

After meeting the owner I highly do not recommend. In my opinion, extremely rude and inconsiderate of others. Glad there are much more prestigious options in the area other than this one. Edit: I have no idea what the response is talking about but I suggest you review it before a slander/libel case is pursued. You clearly have me mixed up with someone else or have your facts backwards.

We had our wedding at the Refinery this past weekend and I cannot recommend Joy, Julie and the team enough. The venue is beautiful and has everything you need from getting ready suites, to decorations, and the best built in coordinators.

Downtown Culpeper's greatest wedding/special event venue! We held our rehearsal party here and can't say enough great things about Joy and her staff. An absolute 10!

The venue was gorgeous and the staff were phenomenal with their service at the view renewal I was at.

Lovely venue, easy to find, and luckily, there's a designated parking area for venue. Perfect for small events.

Beautiful!!!

GREAT locale for a rehearsal dinner and welcome reception!! We were so blessed to have stumbled upon this venue when looking for a place to host our many out of town guests for our wedding in Somerset.

Joy had the best suggestions on catering, florists, etc. to ensure that our night went off without a hitch. The romantic, intimate and spacious downstairs gave us and our guests ample space to enjoy and mingle while we sipped delicious local wine and sweet treats from a local caterer. We are so thankful for the staff here and truly recommend The Refinery to anyone looking for a place to host their next event! <3 The Hodges Less

We had the pleasure of photographing a wedding at The Refinery and absolutely loved the experience! The venue itself has everything a couple would need on their big day, and the staff is super friendly and helpful! They're incredibly knowledgeable about the area and can tell you all the best spots for wedding portraits.

I cannot recommend The Refinery enough! My husband and I got married here on March 25, 2023, and it was beyond our wildest dreams. Joy, Julie, and the rest of the team are wedding experts, and their wedding coordination made our day breezy and fun! The space was so beautiful and perfect for our day.

The Refinery at 120 was the perfect venue for our son’s rehearsal dinner. The modern urban vibe was just right for our group of 75. Joy and Julie were easy to work with as a team.

If you are searching for a wedding venue and coordinators who are attentive and will go above and beyond for you then book the Refinery for your wedding! I can't recommend them enough! Thank you for everything Joy & Julie! without you two, our day wouldn't have run as smoothly as it did! Less

Pretty space I attended a wedding here and I wish I could get married here, but refuse to have a ceremony without my loved ones.

Pretty space I attended a wedding here and I wish I could get married here, but refuse to have a ceremony without my loved ones. The upstairs isn’t handicap accessible, which is the only reason I can’t make this space a part of my day. I would give the Refinery five stars and recommend if there was a stair lift to get guests upstairs. I get I could do everything downstairs, but that’s not my vision and I just wish your business would consider adding in an accessible piece for guest to attend. It’s. my dream to get married in your upstairs space, but I can’t do it without my loved ones. I just can’t. It would be an accommodation to make the ceremony space accessible to important family members who can’t do stairs and I’m sure more patrons would consider if accommodations were available. Less

The entire Refinery team is amazing but Joy, Julie, and Gwen really made our wedding so amazing, special, and STRESS FREE. They go above and beyond to plan out every second of the day with you and are so responsive. They are with you from the day you book your date to the very last minute of your wedding night. It is reasonably priced, in a such a cute little town, and the venue and suites are absolutely stunning. We had a few unforeseen and unavoidable hiccups with our wedding party and some other vendors the last weekend before the wedding and even on the wedding day but you would never know with the way they handle things. Julie continued to reassume us that everything would be fine and she would figure it out and she did. She even went as far as to getting ready to grab a ladder to get my veil out of the telephone wires when it flew away while taking pictures with our photographer. Without a doubt, the best place to get married and we highly recommend booking your special day or event here! You will not be disappointed. Less

Chicken was tasty but lukewarm, salad was soggy. Refused to give fork for dessert. We were told to use our hands.

The Refinery was the venue for my niece’s wedding. They were able to host not only the service and reception, but the Bridesmaid’s Brunch earlier in the day. I would definitely recommend.

I was there for a wedding 💒. It was the reception very nice

The best day of my entire life thanks to these beautiful ladies and beautiful place they've created! I would have my wedding at The Refinery over and over again if I could.

First of all, from the very moment I stepped foot into the venue...I knew it was where I wanted to get married. It is that naturally beautiful, even before being dressed up with decor, flowers, etc. Not to mention how cute all of downtown Culpeper is. Tons of cute shops, places to eat, accommodations for all who are in town...all in walking distance from this venue. But you get the biggest bang for your buck when you book The Refinery because of Joy, who serves as your day of coordinator. I cannot imagine having done it without her expertise, kindness, and wisdom of how an event should work. Especially events the magnitude of a wedding, if that's what you are considering. She offered insight on things I could not decide on, and accommodated all the small things I knew we were sure of. After our timeline of the day was finalized, my family and I changed up the plans on her on the morning of my wedding. This didn't phase her...she rolled with the punches and assured me that it was our day while taking care of every little thing she could for us all throughout. I have no doubt that this team will continue to be successful, as they are already expanding the event space! This venue will always have such a special place in me and my husbands heart. Book your event here, and you will not regret it. Less

Joy was so quick to respond to my thousands of emails and made the transition of rescheduling (twice…Covid) a breeze. Joy helped created/edit my timeline and gave suggestions that were always to our benefit. The day of the wedding she held my dress every step of the way (I was a terrible bride and kept forgetting I couldn’t let it drag) and had our cocktails ready for sipping during photos. Julie was the best! We had a humongous wedding party and she was so excellent at corralling all of the hooligans and the day couldn’t have run smoother. She was a MACHINE moving things to get our bar set up, making last minute table adjustments… just everything. The venue is so incredible ans beautiful and barely needed any decorations because of how classy and moody (and sexy) it is… but this venue would be nothing without this duo. GET MARRIED HERE. P.S. I didn’t get to spend as much time with Gwen but she was fabulous and sweet! Less

Joy, Julie & her staff did an amazing job making our dream wedding come true. From the meetings, emails, phone calls, to the rehearsal dinner, and then to the day-of, they went above and beyond to make sure all our questions were answered and that everything ran perfectly. They were so flexible (especially planning this in the middle of a pandemic!) and accommodating for everyone involved. I heard from NUMEROUS people what a wonderful job they did and how many times they saved the day like finding one of my bridesmaids a safety pin in seconds when her dress broke before her entrance; finding everyone to give them payments/tips/gifts; corralling everyone and calling their names for each family picture. Joy even walked around all of culpeper with my mom trying to find her missing phone at the end of the night! If that's not dedication I'm not sure what is, LOL! I’m sure there were also so many other things they did & problems they solved that we weren’t even aware of. All of the vendors and our family were so impressed with their service and communication as well. Seriously. They are the BEST! You can definitely trust them to handle all the big & small details on your wedding day! Love, love, LOVE The Refinery & their team! We can't thank you enough! ~Caley & Daniel Less

The venue was beautiful and the coordinators were great.

Everyone at the Refinery is so amazing! They made the process so easy and we’re so happy that we were able to get married here!

A charming venue with great staff.

We had our wedding here and it was simply perfect. From the staff being ROCK STARS to the venue itself being out of this world, we had an amazing time. I wish I could relive that day over and over again. I would recommend The Refinery 100000 times and then some. THIS IS WHERE YOU NEED TO BE for your big day! 🤍

Joy was very prompt in replying to any and every question we had.

Even with the minor hiccups we had, her support staff , Gwen and Julie, helped us through it. Our wedding party was absolutely obsessed with Joy and how kind and professional she was. They were very supportive and empathetic as we planned our wedding around COVID and 2020. I feel like giving Joy and The Refinery a 10/10 would not do them justice. There is no scale high enough to truly convey their professionalism, work ethic, and our overall pleasure in how special they made our wedding day.

It’s been a few months since our wedding celebration in October. With the pandemic going on we were contemplating cancelling the whole thing or downsizing to our immediate family. From the day I had my first meeting with Joy and walk about the venue I knew this was where my husband and I wanted to celebrate our marriage . Joy the owners knows her stuff and was willing to accommodate and answer any of my random questions . With the pandemic raging and some health concerns of my own we kept going back and forth on dates. When we stuck with the date all the pieces started falling into place Joy helped us in creating our vision plus an what if option in case we had to change things last minute . We had meetings over FaceTime while I was in the hospital. She was patient dealing with a chronically ill bride and an undeceive one at that . Day of the wedding she served as my day of coordinator making sure every one was where they needed to be going far and beyond he contractual duties . Joy played a major roof in us keeping our date , staying under budget and also making sure we kept everyone covid safe. We are already planning on using the venue again very soon for another event . The Refinery , Joy and her staff are unmatched in what they do . So much so she is in our wedding album . Thank you Joy talk soon Less

Awesome venue and staff. Joy and her team are amazing! They were on top of everything and gave my wife the perfect day... which means I also had the perfect day (happy wife, happy life). As an added benefit, the venue is right in downtown Culpeper, which is such a cool little town with great restaurants and breweries. Thank you again for everything!

Amazing venue, atmosphere and staff! I originally began planning my wedding along side my Mother, thinking we could do it all! After meeting with Joy, I realized she was a blessing I didn't know I needed. She helped outline our big day from the very first meeting. She was so patient,reassuring and kind, while I had to make what felt like a million decisions on things that never crossed my mind. Our big day was amazingly flawless and when I was lost in the whirlwind of it all, she was there to check on us, keep us on task for all the important moments, and was right in step with my Mom to make sure I didn't have to lift a finger or worry about a thing. I still get goosebumps when I think about how our day turned out. I thought Covid had ruined the day every girl dreams of, but in reality it brought changes that made my day undeniably better. I had always admired the venue and never imagined I would be able to have our big day there. The photo options are amazing. I could go on forever about Joy and this venue. Words really can't express how I feel. 5 stars truly isn't enough!!! Less

Gorgeous modern design with ample parking. Both the upstairs and downstairs are beautiful open spaces and its affordable!

We were there for a wedding last night and it is a beautiful place! Perfectly decorated in a neutral, industrial theme, very clean and even smelled good! I loved the live plants throughout the venue!

Also, Joy is good at what she does and I felt she made things flow smoothly and was so involved and helpful from setup to cleanup! The little patio area out back is so cute! I only have one suggestion. The bridal suite was cramped and I feel that the groomsmen's suite and bridal suite should be switched since the bride and bridesmaids are there for most of the day getting ready. With hair and makeup going on, we were on top of each other. And stepping over everyone's bags, so a bigger storage area in the room would be nice for us to put our things. Other than that, everything was wonderful and the place is beautiful! Less

We had our wedding at The Refinery and we couldn't have imagined a more perfect day. Joy is an amazing person! She's so wonderful to work with and takes care of every detail of the day. The venue itself is beyond beautiful, so we needed very little flowers or decor. I highly recommend Joy and The Refinery! I promise you will have an amazing experience.

This venue is amazing and Joy is very organized! We could not have had the experience we had without her as the coordinator. The day of the wedding went so smoothly and we didn’t have to handle anything on our end. The venue itself was perfect for us. It is already well decorated withot anything added, but required little effort for our floralist to top it off!

Great price and great venue. Joy is very organized and coordinated our entire wedding with out a single problem. She addressed anything that might not work well and helped us make sure our wedding was perfect! The day of she handled all of the vendors and everything came together without any effort on our part. I was very impressed!

Where do I even begin? The venue itself is beyond beautiful. My husband and I fell in love with it from the moment we walked in. It is the perfect mixture of industrial and modern. I never imagined that my wedding would ever be indoors, but now I could never imagine my wedding being anywhere else. Now onto the best part of the venue, Joy.

I never imagined that my wedding would ever be indoors, but now I could never imagine my wedding being anywhere else. Now onto the best part of the venue, Joy. I can't even explain how much she impacted the best day of my life. She answered every question I had throughout the whole process, helped me outline the entire thing, and made me feel at ease when I didn't know what decision to make. We also planned my wedding throughout a global pandemic, so we had at lot of talks on re-scheduling and re-working things so that they were safe and also made sense. When you have to reschedule your wedding and don't even know if you will be able to have it on the second date, you lose some of the excitement. She restored that for me, that's something I could never thank her enough for. As for the day of, everything ran SO smoothly and it was all thanks to her. She told me where to go, what to do, and made sure everyone was where they should be. In the nicest way possible. As a bride, nothing is more important than your day running smoothly and being beautiful. Booking with this venue will guarantee both of those things. If you are even considering this venue, it will be the best decision you make for your big day. Less

Joy, the owner of The Refinery, was the best thing that happened to us during our wedding planning process. Not only is the venue absolutely beautiful, but Joy goes above and beyond to ensure every little detail of your wedding day is planned and goes smoothly. Joy offers her day of coordinating in the pricing for the venue, along with many decorations that are complimentary. Our initial wedding date was postponed due to COVID, and Joy was flexible and accommodating. She immediately reached out to us and confirmed our new date. Due to restrictions because of COVID, our caterer could no longer serve our cocktail hour and buffet. When Joy heard about this, she immediately reached out to hire extra help at no cost to us, to ensure our day was exactly how we had initially planned. The Refinery is one of a kind, and Joy is top notch. We would highly recommend The Refinery to anyone looking for a beautiful and seamless wedding venue! Less

Joy was a delight to work with, we had our Dance Recital there, she was very helpful and great with helping us reschedule during Covid. Beautiful set up and we will be back in January.

She took interest in the vision that we had and helped us troubleshoot through the logistics to bring it to life. With planning from out of state, Joy was there every step of the way from answering any questions we had, giving us vendor recommendations, assisting with vendor communication to make sure the details we were planning with our vendors would successfully work within the venue and assuring us that we could just be present in every moment of our wedding day and she would run the show for us.

Fantastic venue!

A friend had a wedding here and I was blown away. The venue helped with the wedding so my friend didn't need a wedding planner, it ran so smoothly, and the setup was beautiful. Really well done!

Absolutely stunning venue. Cant wait for Melanie and Colins wedding in July. 🤩🤩🤩

Great venue! Loved the spaces for a wedding and reception. Owner and staff added to the enjoyment of the event. Food was awesome. Definitely give it a look!

Beautiful setting and we have heard terrific things about the owners/operators.

Nice little venue for small event. Needs a TV so presentations or video can be shown during party

We held our wedding reception there on October 12. Joy was awesome to work with. She was very helpful and patient with two people who didn't have much of an idea of what we were doing. The venue itself is set up wonderfully. Had plenty of room for tables, and still enough room to dance. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. I would highly recommend The Refinery to anyone!

The Refinery is AMAZING. If you're looking for chic and modern with a bit of old world flair this is perfect. Both the upstairs and downstairs are spacious and have awesome acoustics ( I have DJed there quite a bit). They also have plenty of parking. You will love it!

We had our rehearsal dinner here on October 4th and it turned out beautiful. A lovely venue for just about any event! Joy Orr, manager extraordinaire, was a delight to work with. I walked in there a year prior to our event and said, “I want to do nothing. I want to walk in here and enjoy the evening.” That is exactly what happened. Thank you Joy!

Great events

Phenomenal place, absolutely beautiful.

It was a very open and clean. I really liked the look they were going for with the interior and reclaimed wood used in the bathrooms.

Everyone there were very professional yet very down to earth. Our youngest daughter had her wedding there and it was amazing . I absolutely recommend the Refinery for all your gatherings ! Linda Quinn

Classic venue in Downtown Culpeper!

Lovely venue

Beautiful space and Joy is so amazing to work with

Great place for any event. We organized our first x-mast celebration at this place and it was super convenient and cozy, Everyone was happy about place and service. We look forward to host another event at this place in future.

Haha The lighting is wonderful. (Especially for selfies and iPhone group photo quality) The space breakup is perfect for mingling. There’s not awkward echo. The air circulation is great! (We’ve all been there when a party gets too stuffy, and we get panicky hot!) and she even has TWO bathrooms (no lines!) and a bridal sweet you can step away to, for a quiet moment. The place is PERFECT for any party/shower of wedding! Joy is also a gem to work with too! Super easy and assertive! 10/10 recommend! Less

We’ve had two cocktails and conversations events here this fall, and this space was perfect! Planning to schedule more for 2019– thank you Joy for making this so easy for us.

We had my daughter’s wedding at the Refinery this weekend, and I would absolutely recommend it. The venue is gorgeous and has an great atmosphere. The natural lighting and all the decorations are amazing. The owner, Joy, is absolute amazing and she was so helpful and able to help with an small unexpected crisis. This is a much needed, great addition to Culpeper.

Love this place! Great smiles and great peeps! Love stopping through on our way down south.

I love this space! Very industrial but allows for any theme of decor. Great location in downtown Culpeper with parking right across the street. From personal experience with working with joy, you will never find a more hardworking, dedicated, and reliable gal. She will go above and beyond to make your event a success! So glad we have a venue like The Refinery right here in culpeper!

Awesome space to host an event!
