Our Story

A Historic Venue Reimagined

Where timeless architecture meets modern celebration

Once a cherished chapel on Ivanhoe Road in Buckhannon, WV, this historic space quietly sat idle after its doors closed-waiting for a new chapter.

Now, the property has been revitalized! Acquired by a passionate couple, it has been reimagined as Hampton Venue, a charming event center dedicated to hosting unforgettable celebrations.

Today, Hampton Venue blends that history with modern comfort-a warm, light-filled gathering place designed for weddings, celebrations, and events that bring people together.

Our History

Our Journey Through Time

From historic chapel to premier event venue - a story of preservation and transformation

1867

Original Church Founded

Historic church was built as a beloved community place of worship, serving generations with grace and dignity.

July 7, 2025

Restoration Begins

A passionate local community couple acquires the property and begins meticulous restoration to preserve its historic charm. All the construction was completed by local Upshur County, WV skilled labor with resources obtained locally. The motto from day one was "To do the right thing, the right way when no one was watching".

November 21, 2025

Hampton Venue Opens

Hampton Venue held its ribbon cutting and officially was open for business. The day was marked by a country luncheon and a dedication service. It has remained as a premier event venue, combining historic elegance with modern amenities and services.
