The inspiration for Kevin Nguyen and Matt Pinyan’s Montfair Resort Farm wedding came from another wedding they attended together in Wisconsin, which, coincidentally, was inspired by a Montfair wedding that the couple had attended.
“What we loved about this wedding was that all guests stayed on site for the weekend and were able to spend quality time with the couple and other guests,” Matt says. “We loved the opportunity to invite our friends and family to experience the beautiful Charlottesville landscape and escape to ‘Camp Pinguyen’ [a portmanteau of the couples’ last names] for the long weekend.”
The venue helped the couple utilize each of its unique spaces—an afternoon field day, the lakeside ceremony, dinner in the lodge—and Matt and Kevin rounded out the smaller details, designing the paper suite and the drink menu.
“We wanted the vibe of our wedding to feel intimate yet casual,” Matt says, “like we were hosting a large dinner party for our loved ones at home.”
Every moment was picture-perfect, but they do have some favorites. For Matt, it was the moment right before they walked down the aisle—one last hug and squeeze of the hand before embarking on their future together as a married couple. For Kevin, it was the Vietnamese tea ceremony his parents hosted the night before the big day, which ended with a bonfire near the lake.
“I remember looking down at the bonfire from the lodge deck with Matt, seeing all of our friends and family gathered around, and thinking how lucky we are to have a community that loves and supports us,” Kevin says.
A close second? The dance floor. The grooms ended the night with a slow dance to “Last Dance,” their wedding guests gathered in a circle around them. Then the beat dropped.
“Everyone rushed to the center of the dance floor to join us in an epic song to finish the night.”

A few years before they connected via a dating app, Matt had ranked Kevin as his “top gym crush.” They started dating in 2021 and proposed to each other three years later on a trip on Portugal.
For their honeymoon, the couple traveled to the south of France for a few days to enjoy “not making any decisions.”
Matt and Kevin challenged their guests with a directive to “take a fashion risk” with their wedding-day attire. “Everyone showed up in a festive outfit that they wouldn’t normally wear and we could feel the confidence radiate on the dance floor,” Matt says.
