The Montpelier Wedding

Exchange vows at the symbol of Montpelier: the Madison Temple, designed and built by James Madison, with a beautiful view of the Blue Ridge. Then stroll across the picturesque home's front yard by candlelight to the William duPont Gallery for a festive reception. There you will enjoy cocktails in the Gallery and the famous reinstalled Red Room among the treasures of a bygone era. Retire to the Grand Salon for a sit-down repast beneath the duPonts' gold-leafed chandelier.
