When looking for a wedding venue, my fiancé and I felt overwhelmed and lost. We didn’t know what we wanted or needed or what was best. The first venue we toured was Colonial Heritage solely because of its close location. Upon arriving, we met Corey and were instantly impressed. The venue was gorgeous, had everything we needed, AND came with the best staff you could ask for. Corey sat with us for longer than expected to answer all of our questions and help put our minds at ease, and the rest is history! If you’re looking for a venue that has it all, look no further. No need to worry about tables, chairs, linens, food, drinks, a rehearsal dinner location, or even a wedding coordinator! Colonial Heritage is the perfect venue and the staff is top of the line. Huge shoutout to Corey who held my hand through every question on my list and every mild panic attack leading up to the big day. He has such a way of making you feel like his only and most important client! Do yourself a favor and book Colonial Heritage as your wedding venue. 10/10 recommend!

Save your time if you are looking to play 9 holes at this golf course late in the afternoon. Showed up at 4:42pm on a Sunday afternoon to play 9 holes as a single with my daughter and was told they do not allow golfers after 4:30pm. It doesn’t get dark for 3 hours at this point. The lady working the pro shop literally saw me walking up and was waiting outside to tell me we couldn’t go out. Went to another golf course 15 minutes down the road with no problems. Will not play here again

They keep raising the HOA fee, despite the fact that the fitness center and indoor pool has been closed for over a year and now they've shut down the outside pool too

The grounds are attractive and there is adequate parking in front of the country club for events. I attended a business brunch. From a guest perspective the staff was efficient and helpful. The bacon, breakfast rolls and tiny cheesecakes were quite good. I'll skip the egg souffle next time.

Look no further, THIS is your wedding venue. If you want a completely stress free experience, let Corey and his amazing team plan your event. I've worked in hotels 26 years and I had lofty expectations and every single one was exceeded. I've never met a better wedding planner. Expert knowledge, outstanding service from Corey and the staff at Colonial Heritage. If I had it to do all over, I wouldn't change a thing. Corey thought of literally everything. Truly amazing!

We had an excellent Rotary conference at the Colonial Heritage Clubhouse in Williamsburg VA today. This is a wonderful spacious facility that easily accommodated our large group. Thankfully, there were sufficient rooms at this facility to handle all our needs at this conference. Also, a delicious buffet was available for our lunch with various food choices.
