Events at Common House

Located just steps from the historic Downtown Mall, Common House is Charlottesville’s premium venue for one-of-a-kind celebrations, offering three floors of elevated modern design. 

From rehearsal dinners and wedding receptions to corporate events and farewell brunches, our in-house catering allows us to custom tailor our dining, bar, and seating options for any need. Work with our Executive Chef to create a custom, locally-sourced menu, and with our Sommelier to hand-pick a selection of craft cocktails and world-class wines. What’s more, we take care of all the additional details — service staff, event furniture, and even A/V needs, minimizing your cost and effort. For events large and small, Common House is your home.
