Hi, I’m Michelle
Together with my husband, our parents, and our little family, we welcome you to our cherished 75-acre farm venue nestled in the heart of Virginia. This place is so much more than a backdrop for celebrations—it’s home. A place where rolling fields, quiet woods, and heartfelt moments come together to create something truly special.
OUR STORY
My passion for weddings began over 12 years ago in the fast-paced world of bridal and events, where I developed a deep appreciation for both the artistry and logistics behind truly exceptional celebrations.
After studying at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), I had the opportunity to intern at the renowned Kleinfeld Bridal in New York City, where I guided brides through one of the most meaningful parts of their wedding journey—finding the perfect dress. From there, I expanded my experience into full-service catering, gaining hands-on knowledge of event execution, guest experience, and the many details that ensure a wedding day feels seamless from start to finish. I later served as a sales manager at the historic Inns of Aurora in the Finger Lakes—a collection of beautifully restored lakeside estates—where I worked closely with couples to design and coordinate elevated, personalized wedding experiences.
These experiences have shaped my approach today—combining thoughtful design, strong organization, and a genuine passion for creating celebrations that feel both effortless and deeply personal.
All those years, I quietly dreamed of owning a venue of my own—a place where I could pour my heart into every detail. Not just host weddings, but truly curate them.
That dream became reality in the most unexpected way, when my cousin overheard a conversation at work that the previous owner was ready to sell. It felt like everything aligned, and we jumped at the opportunity to bring new life to this beautiful property. Today, it means so much to share this space with couples who are looking for more than just a venue—those who want someone who will listen, dream alongside them, and help create a day that feels warm, meaningful, and entirely their own.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
At Sorella Farms, we believe your wedding day should feel joyful, relaxed, and completely reflective of you as a couple.
My goal is to make the planning process feel organized, supported, and genuinely enjoyable, while ensuring every detail of your day flows beautifully. From the first tour to the final send-off, we’re here to guide you every step of the way and create an experience that feels effortless and unforgettable.
To me, it’s never just about hosting a wedding—it’s about creating a day that feels intentional, meaningful, and lasting.
A little moreABOUT ME
Outside of weddings, I’m someone who truly values time with family and the simple, meaningful moments that often matter most. You’ll usually find me hiking, exploring new places, or trying something new—always looking for inspiration that I can bring back into the experience we create here at the farm.
I’m so grateful you’ve found your way here.
If this space and my approach resonate with you, I would truly love to hear your story and begin dreaming up something beautiful together.
With warmth,
Michelle
