For over 20 years, Amber Grove has been a beautiful, secluded venue for family and friends to gather in celebration. While our primary focus is weddings, our picturesque country estate is the perfect setting for any social occasion. Located just minutes from Rte. 288, we would love to be a part of your special day. The place now known as Amber Grove is a wedding/special events venue established in 1997.
From its humble beginnings, it has grown into one of Richmond's premier wedding and special event venues. The house itself and surrounding lands have a long and varied history. What follows are some of the historical highlights. The farm sits on top of what geologists call the Otterdale Sands, formed at the end of the second Ice Age. The land once looked like a giant sand dune.
Over the millennia, it became covered with vegetation and forest. It was a hunting ground to the Monacan Indians. It is one of the highest points in terms of elevation in Chesterfield County. The modern history of this place begins in 1850 when a settler named Vincent Markham migrated up Swift Creek from the present DuPont area of Richmond and bought 350 acres of land including what is now Amber Grove.
