The Historic Post Office

This venue is soooo beautiful and definitely an in person visit. Love how accessible it is to parking, hotel, restaurants, and bars in walking distance. Ellie was an amazing tour guide. My favorite were the bride and groom suites.

If I could give The Historic Post Office 100 stars I would, and every one of them would be well-deserved. Picking your wedding venue is one of the most pivotal decisions you make as a couple because it impacts everything (how your day look and feels, your guest experience, etc. etc.). When I walked into the HPO for the first time, I knew I had found my dream wedding venue. The building itself is beautiful and is filled with historic details that give it a timeless look. Yet, the team at the HPO has done an amazing job of ensuring it is as practical as it is beautiful. There are SIX bathrooms (it sounds silly, but once you go to a wedding with a long bathroom line, this becomes an important detail), a BEAUTIFUL bridal suite, and a guy-friendly groomsmen suite. The venue is beautiful as is, but it is really easy for each couple to customize the space to match their personalities. The venue has in-house lighting that is so useful at achieving this. The HPO is truly an amazing wedding venue, but the team there is really what makes it stand out as the best (in my personal opinion) wedding venue in Hampton Roads. Kelsey and Madeline are incredibly professional and organized. When I arrived for my first tour of the HPO, I was given a folder with all types of materials about the venue, recommended vendors, pricing, etc. This was an anomaly, but a welcomed one. That level of organization and attention to detail was the standard that the HPO team held up throughout our wedding planning process. Speaking of the planning process, the best decision we made throughout it was hiring Madeline Wheeler with the HPO as our Day-Of-Coordinator. My husband and I cannot sing her praises enough. She is so terrific at what she does and made the wedding planning process easy and made our wedding day completely stress-free. Madeline is organized and professional with a spectacular attention-to-detail and calm personality that makes her a dream to work with. My husband and I were able to be completely present during our wedding day because of her hard work!

this place is so beautiful. the perfect venue for a wedding. the area is so quaint. I absolutely adore it. totally recommend it.

Nice setting for events. Friends had a wedding and reception here. Transition from wedding to reception went smoothly. Ample space for table setups, buffet and dance floor.

We held our daughter's and son-in-law's wedding there on February 17th. The venue was fabulous, and all the staff were truly outstanding. All of them were very friendly and professional. Sylvia was the coordinator on the day of the wedding and she was fantastic! We loved the DJ, the officiant, the wedding photographer, the caterer, everything was wonderful! We could not be happier and we HIGHLY recommend this venue for your wedding. We did the "Intimate Wedding" package which was for 50 people, and that was a perfect size for our family. We recommend looking at least six months out because they book up fast, and once you see a date that looks good, lock it in! All our family and friends who attended said it was a "perfect evening" and "such a fun and enjoyable event." The really nice thing about this venue is that it is a "one-stop shop" for the wedding. Once you book the package, they work with you to line up all of the pieces (the caterer, cake decorator, florist, DJ, wedding photographer, officiant) that are included, which took a LOT of the stress out of it for us. One meeting a couple months before the wedding to meet with each of those people and discuss what we wanted. Everything turned out great! OUTSTANDING++!!

We hosted our wedding at Historic Post Office last November, and it was a truly amazing experience. The building itself is absolutely gorgeous, with so many places to take beautiful wedding photos. The bistro lights wide archways give it a modern, but elegant feel. It was also one of the few places we looked at that had a bride suite and a groom suite, both huge, cute, and comfy for the hours leading up to our event as we got ready. The staff was so easy to work with - Kelsey and Madeline helping from booking until our day, being so accommodating during the challenges of the pandemic and so communicative in answering all our questions. We hired Ellie through the HPO as our day of coordinator, and she was a Rockstar and a blessing. She made us feel so comfortable and supportive of our unique wedding details. She went above and beyond to make our day run smoothly and look stunning, and could not have done it without her. We would not hesitate to recommend the Historic Post Office to anyone looking for a location to host a special event. Our time there was one we will never forget.
