Winterham Wedding and Event Venue in Amelia County, VA, servicing the Richmond area, is a fine Italianate Jefferson family home built in 1855. It has been restored by Dr. M. Gary Hadfield and his wife, Kathleen, and was opened in 2003 for bed and breakfast, weddings and special events. Winterham began in the early 1700's when Edward Booker patented 2000 acres from the crown.By the 1750's there was a home here. The original Winterham, predating the present structure by 100 years, probably burned. Edward's descendant, Otelia Booker, married John Garland Jefferson, II, a cousin of Thomas Jefferson.

My brother got married here last weekend; The wedding was beautiful but the caretaker (proper term?) of the plantation house tarnished the experience. She was rude and sarcastic to everyone in the wedding party throughout the entire weekend. The plantation is split leveled and the groomsmen stay in the basement area while the bridesmaids and bride stay in the upper level.
We didn't know until we arrived that the caretaker also lives in the basement in a separate room, which was a little weird. She constantly nagged all of the groomsmen and other family members to do chores that should have been delegated to the staff. The morning after the wedding she confronted the bride and groom and told them they needed to "pick up every single rose petal" in the bridal suite. It is a beautiful venue but this lady was a stain on what should've been a very happy occasion.
