A Perfect Marriage Begins in the Beauty of Virginia's Northern Neck
08-20-2010
Weddings at the Tides Inn
IRVINGTON, VA (August 19, 2010) -- The Tides Inn, tucked away on a private, lush peninsula overlooking Carters Creek, is an enchanting 106-room waterfront resort and long-standing Chesapeake Bay tradition. The resort recently announced a new Virginia wedding package that unites gracious Southern charm with luxurious amenities in Virginia's stunning Northern Neck, with prices starting at $2,400 for a three-night destination wedding.
The Tides Inn Virginia Destination Wedding Package for 2 includes:
• Ceremony location for the bride and groom -- on a private beach, under a stately oak tree, perhaps on the resort's expansive croquet lawn
• Bridal bouquet and boutonniere
• Marriage officiate
• 3-hour photography package
• Champagne toast
• Wedding dinner in East Dining Room
• Wedding cake for two
• Tides Inn wedding keepsake
• Vista Suite with balcony and water views
• Breakfast daily for the couple
• Advice throughout from The Tides' on-staff wedding coordinator
Virginia's Northern Neck, just an hour from Richmond, 1.5 hours from Norfolk and a 2.5 hour drive from Washington DC, is a peninsula that juts into the widest part of the Chesapeake Bay between the Rappahannock and Potomac rivers. The rolling countryside is laced by rivers, graced with vineyards and steeped in history. The Tides Inn is located in picturesque Irvington, a town of charming ambiance with pristine cottages trimmed with white picket fences and flowers and quiet lanes made for bicycles built for two.
The 106-room Tides Inn - named best resort in Virginia in the 2009 Travel & Leisure Readers' Choice Survey - sits on a bluff with terraced gardens of azaleas and dogwoods leading down to the marina where luxury yachts often dock on a stopover between voyages. The wooded waterfront is dotted with elegant homes, secluded, deep water coves, and resident ospreys and blue herons. Guests can easily explore the area and drink in the scenery via small boats, kayaks and canoes, or spend time relaxing and rejuvenating in the Spa at the Tides Inn.
"Our aim is to provide our wedding guests with the very best location, service and ceremony in Virginia," said Gordon Slatford, general manager at the Tides Inn. "We really believe there is no sweeter place to start a lifetime of romance than right here at the Tides Inn. It's about a rich tradition as a launch pad for a couple's life filled with love and respect."
