About Me

Katie McFarland, Founder and Owner, Blue Ridge Concierge I'm Katie McFarland, a Charlottesville native with a lifelong passion for travel, hospitality, and showing people the very best of the place I've called home for over 30 years. My path to founding Blue Ridge Concierge started with managing a luxury estate, where I quickly realized that visitors to our area were hungry for something a hotel concierge desk couldn't quite offer: a real local connection. Someone who knows which vineyard to visit on a quiet Tuesday, which bakery makes the best wedding morning pastry spread, and which back roads will make your guests fall in love with the Blue Ridge. Helping people find those experiences became my calling. Blue Ridge Concierge grew from that passion. I've spent years building relationships with the finest local businesses across Charlottesville, Nelson County, Keswick, Crozet, Gordonsville, and beyond, so that when you and your guests arrive, you're tapping into decades of genuine local knowledge rather than a quick internet search. For wedding weekends, I love being the behind-the-scenes resource that makes everything feel effortless. Whether it's coordinating grocery deliveries to the bridal party, arranging airport transfers for out-of-town family, or helping guests discover a hidden gem winery after the rehearsal dinner, I bring the same care and attention to every request, big or small. I'm not an event planner. I'm the person who makes sure everyone in your orbit feels taken care of, right down to the last detail. I'd love to be part of your wedding weekend.

Blue Ridge Concierge

A blue checkmark inside a light blue star shape.

Blue Ridge Concierge is Central Virginia's premier personal concierge service, offering a curated menu of bookable services for visitors and locals alike: from grocery deliveries and private chefs to wine tours and transportation. We bring the luxury of a personal concierge to wherever you're staying, whether that's a vacation rental, a bed and breakfast, or a private home. And when it comes to wedding weekends? We're a natural fit. Your wedding day deserves more than just a checklist. It deserves a team that handles the details with warmth, precision, and a genuine love for this beautiful region. Whether your wedding party is scattered across vacation rentals in Nelson County, boutique inns in Charlottesville, or private homes throughout the Blue Ridge, we make sure everyone arrives prepared and pampered. We'll stock the bridesmaid house with champagne and fresh groceries, deliver a curated snack spread to the groomsmen's house, and handle all the little touches that turn a great weekend into an unforgettable one. Coordinating out-of-town guests? We've got you covered. From airport transfers for parents and grandparents to seamless welcome box deliveries across the Charlottesville area, we take the logistics off your plate so you can focus on celebrating. Think of us as the local friend every couple wishes they had, someone who knows the best roads, the right vendors, and exactly how to make things run smoothly. Our bookable services pair naturally with wedding weekends: grocery and specialty deliveries, airport and local transportation, private chef experiences, IV drip recovery sessions (a groomsmen favorite), wine tour arrangements along the Monticello Wine Trail, and personalized local recommendations to help your guests make the most of the region. We serve Charlottesville, Afton, Keswick, Gordonsville, Nelson County, and beyond. We're not a planning agency. We're the on-the-ground resource that fills in the gaps, handles the asks, and makes sure every member of your wedding party feels genuinely taken care of. One recent bride's mother said it best: "You were key. Thank you so much β€” it was a magical weekend indeed." Ready to add some Blue Ridge magic to your weekend?
