Wonderful Wedding Weekend

We had a beautiful four days day including private time with our family, rehearsal dinner and wedding all at one venue. The briar patch bed and breakfast is a GEM. Dan and Ellen are wonderful to work with and treat you like family. They are very flexible and work with you to provide a memorable experience. The fact that the wedding party and immediate family can stay on the grounds for the entire weekend made it even more special. And we got a delicious breakfast every morning for the cherry on top. It was also nice to use some of the preferred vendors - Helga’s caterers had a fabulous staff and the food was out of this world! DJ Randy was phenomenal and kept the party going. I highly recommend this venue for any wedding or special occasion

Fantastic Venue

Dan and Ellen at the Briar Patch were an absolute dream to work with. They say “your wedding, your way” and they really mean it. They helped us with every step along the way and we’re so flexible to accommodate what we wanted for our big day. The venue itself is so cozy and dreamy. My bridesmaids and I were able to stay in their Cottage the night before the wedding and we had an absolute blast! They had everything set up exactly how we wanted before we even came to help get decorations up. It is a great venue for the price as well, because for the one price you get the whole place-meaning if you’re planning to be outside and weather happens, there’s zero stress because the backup plan is just as beautiful and it’s completely included. We loved everything about our experience at the Briar Patch and can’t recommend it enough!

A perfect wedding weekend at Briar Patch B&B

Our son and daughter in law had their wedding at Briar Patch B&B. I cannot say enough good things about our experience. Dan and Ellen are amazing hosts. The entire bridal party stayed there and we were treated like royalty. The rooms, breakfast, pool, and most of all the wedding ceremony and reception areas were just wonderful-in fact they were perfect. Our guests had such a wondertime time. Thank you Briar Patch for a memory that will certainly last us all a lifetime.

Briar Patch is a great supportive venue if you are inviting children. They have a terrific side room that is close by and they also allow for caregivers to go to the inn as it gets later in the evening to a quieter space to help the children settle down for the evening. The bedroom floor plan is also convenient to monitor things as they children sleep while their parents continue to have a good time with the other adults at the reception. We have found Ellen and Dan and their entire team to be very supportive of our needs as caregivers as well. They have been great mentors for us in other ways too. This is a great family friendly venue in very beautiful country setting.

Beautiful venue, with many beautiful spots for your outdoor ceremony (and a lovely indoor space - "just in case"). Dan, Ellen and Henriette are delightful to work with and will make you feel right at home.
