    We got married at Briar Patch in October 2024 and I cannot say enough about how wonderful the venue was and how kind and communicative the venue owners were. Any time we had questions they were so quick to answer. I loved that we could have any vendors we wanted, but they also provided a list of wonderful recommendations. The price was also wonderful for the area! Having the venue for the whole weekend was such a great experience for our whole bridal party who stayed onsite.

    Overall, we were happy with our wedding at Briar Patch. I’m going to give an honest review about our experience below with both good things and some things to consider. Even with some things not going perfectly, we feel that we would choose this venue again if we had the choice. We were very happy with: 1. The ability to have a wedding weekend here for a relatively low price, the ability to have our rehearsal, welcome dinner, wedding ceremony, wedding reception, and breakfast on Sunday all at the same place but in different spaces onsite. This was very convenient and our entire wedding party could stay onsite with us. We enjoyed this. They gave my husband a Veteran’s discount, which we very much appreciated. The property is gorgeous, and we made use at our November wedding of the mountains in the background. T This fit our vision of a romantic rural venue that was elegant, but not pretentious, with lovely views. 2. Dan and Ellen were very nice to me and my husband. They brought us breakfast in the cottage on our wedding day so we could have a quiet breakfast together before the day started. That’s what we wanted. The Chef made my mom a special breakfast sandwich to order in the morning. They were accommodating about us bringing in lunch on Friday for the wedding party, snacks on the wedding day, and doing a customized breakfast for us on Sunday. We appreciated their ability to be flexible. 3. The fall colors were perfect, the horse was on property, we got amazing pictures under the stars, and we loved being able to make use of all of the spaces onsite for our different events. The scenery was really picturesque! The reception hall is perfect for a wedding reception and plenty of space for dancing. The location was close to Dulles for people to fly in and get there easily. 4. The cottage for the couple was fun and the kitchenette was nice. The bathtub was nice, and it was a good space for all of the ladies to get ready in on the day of the wedding, hang out, and have snacks. 5. On Friday night, we had a country western party themed welcome party and dinner in the space outside of the ballroom. We had adequate space to turn that space into a dance floor (near the fireplace) and set up food/drinks and tables for 50 in that space. Dan recommended Hammerdown BBQ, which is very nearby. We had people raving about the BBQ, saying it was the best cornbread they had ever had, and the best brisket. Things that could have been improved: 1. The rooms are quirky and there are insects and rodents around. If that is a deal breaker, than this may not be the place for you. It is rustic! That's part of the charm and also comes with some things that are unavoidable. 2. There are not bathrooms in all of the rooms and for some people in our wedding party, that was an issue. 3. There was some lack in communication between the owners and our wedding coordinators and caterer. 4. There were some issues where our coordinators couldn’t find Dan, Ellen, or staff on the day of the wedding when they needed them. 5. Some spots around the venue are not easily handicap accessible and there are not bathrooms at every site. Overall, we are satisfied with our choice to go with Briar Patch. It was a great choice and we have many happy memories and beautiful pictures from that day. For a wedding weekend near the DC area, you can’t beat the value and beauty of this venue!

And thank you for pointing out all the good things about your wedding with us, as well as the areas for improvement. We take all feedback to heart and will work on the areas to improve that we have control over that you mentioned. We very much enjoyed hosting you, your family, and friends for your wedding weekend.

    This was an amazing location for anyone that is local or coming in from out of town. As the bride I was able to unpack my bags settle in and enjoy all that this venue had to offer for the entire weekend. Dan, the owner is incredibly sweet and has been doing this for some time. His confidence that everything will be taken care of was super helpful. I used almost all of the venue's recommended vendors in which they were absolutely incredible. Everyone that showed up to help that day knew exactly where to go, what to do, and how to get it done. I know weather is unpredictable, but somehow we got lucky with a stunning day. The day itself was magical and now that we are getting all of our photos back you can tell how truly stunning the day was. We utilized every inch that this venue had to offer; having the ceremony outside over looking the hills and horse stable, the cocktail hour was located out on the Patios, sunset photos walking the grounds, and hung out by the pool area when possible. Our guests were able to check out the local attractions as it is situated between 3 wineries and downtown Middleburg, which offers a lot of great mom and pop shops. I know this will be a day that we will never forget and the Briar Patch Bed and Breakfast made it all possible!

    The Briar Patch was wonderful! So so beautiful and accommodating. They really worked with us to make sure we had everything we needed and wanted. They made getting our friends and family a place to stay so easy and we’re so quick to answer any questions or requests we had. My bridesmaids and I needed breakfast very early on Saturday morning and they brought it right to our room, right on time before serving the other guests in the main dining room. If you are looking for a beautiful venue that accommodates out of town guests and allows the bride and bridesmaids to stay together the night before the wedding, look no further!
