Lynn Pirozzoli, owner of Black Horse Inn, is a consummate and experienced professional. Her venue is absolutely stunning, even in late November. Black Horse Inn is elegant and classy with numerous options for an indoor or outdoor wedding. The Gilded Fox, the rolling hills and the Manor House make for gorgeous backdrops for wedding pictures. The real value of Black Horse Inn is Lynn herself. From day one, she instills the utmost confidence, provides you with a timeline for the big day bringing an immediate sense of calm and coordination, list of trust worthy vendors, listens well, detail oriented, and does everything she can to accommodate your wishes to ensure your dream wedding comes true. Lynn's staff is equally gracious attending to your every need. Absolutely perfect venue and staff! We were so happy with our wedding we went back the next day to say thank you to Lynn & give her a big hug!

I was married at the Black Horse Inn on November 12, 2011. If I were able to rate it higher than five stars, I would!
We had both our ceremony and reception at the Inn and had the entire, beautiful location booked (including all the guest rooms) for the entire weekend. Having the option of our closest friends and family stay there with us was one of the things that made it a truly special event.
The weekend started Friday evening with a fun wedding rehearsal, which Lynn (the owner) and her staff attended. It was clear from the start that they were absolutely fantastic, experienced professionals who worked patiently with our group and kept us on schedule (not an easy feat!). Our wedding ceremony took place in front of the gorgeous gazebo, with the tall old trees (full of lively chirping birds) as a backdrop. Lynn and her staff coordinated the seating of the families and timing of the wedding party and myself with perfect precision and everything went off without any glitches! After the ceremony, all the guests moved to the tented patio for the cocktail hour while we took pictures and then it was on to the Gilded Fox (the Inn's reception hall) for the reception, dinner, and dancing! All of the facilities are simply stunning, day or night!
I can't say enough about how helpful and attentive Lynn and her staff was. Special kudos go to Joyce, who, in the midst of EVERYTHING else we had going on, remembered to deliver a special note from me to my parents' guestroom during the reception so they would receive it at the end of the evening. From our first meeting with Lynn (7 months before the wedding) until it was all over, she was a fantastic resource and one of the most organized people I've ever worked with. They took care of all the details, including contacting all of my vendors so I didn't have to worry about any of it on the day of the wedding!
It has now been about six weeks since the wedding and people are still talking about how wonderful the Inn was...including, but not limited to, the delicious breakfasts, the comfy sitting areas where guests could just sit and talk, the friendly, attentive staff, and the beautiful decor and landscape. I would highly recommend the Black Horse Inn if you are looking for a truly special (and not just a cookie-cutter) wedding experience!

Lynn and the Black Horse team are fantastic! The venue itself is absolutely stunning. Most of our guests couldn't believe how stunning the venue is once you are live and in person (the website doesn't do it justice). It is pricey, so be prepared, but keep in mind that the venue is yours for the entire weekend. How else could you get your whole family (both sides) in one place at one time, all to yourself.

The housekeeper and grounds staff went out of their way to ensure our family (and US) had a fantastic experience.The food the ladies fixed was delicious, they were always willing to find us something to eat, drink, extra towels, I mean they just went out of their way.

The only reason I gave 4.5 stars on Value, I would have liked to have additional King beds. I know the rooms are a bit smaller b/c its a beautiful old mansion. But my father is 6'4, my husband's father is 6'3, and my BIL is 6'3, so there just weren't enough big beds to go around. They made do though, no biggie. :)

Like I said before, the Black Horse is wonderful. Lynn is a kindred spirit (we both may be the most organized women on the planet) and has this down to a science. She knows timing, she knows placement, she knows what people are going to like, what they aren't going to like, its really absolutely wonderful and I would recommend holding your wedding there to anyone.

The Black Horse Inn was a beautiful location for our wedding. In addition to the unique venue, the staff catered to our needs and made our special event really memorable!

Lynn and all of the Black Horse Inn staff were amazing! They helped us plan and organize our wedding and reception, and really were the driving force behind the success of our wedding weekend. Throughout the planning process they were extremely helpful, providing lists of preferred vendors, information and ideas about wedding ceremonies, receptions, etc. On our wedding weekend, Lynn and all of the staff were a huge help to me in getting all of our attendants and family members organized for the reception and on the day of the wedding. Plus, the inn and grounds are absolutely gorgeous, and the staff make all guests feel at home. I cannot think of a more perfect place to get married! Thank you Lynn and everyone at BHI for helping us to have a perfect, memorable wedding!

We found the staff to be quite helpful , friendly , and flexible in accomodating our requests. I would recommend this venue to anyone planning an event.

I would recommend having your wedding at the Black Horse Inn. Lynn and her staff truly are experienced and it is very comforting to know that the wedding would run smoothly.

All I can really say is WOW! One of my guests said it best with "quality wedding from top to bottom" We were lucky that we were able to rent the Inn for the entire weekend and I have to say this was the best decision we could have ever made. From the start, Lynn and her team went above and beyond. I really did feel like a Princess for the weekend. All of our friends had commented on the attention to detail from the get go and were very impressed. Everything went smooth as could be (even when we had to change the ceremony location due to weather) no one would have every guessed this wasn't in the original plan. Everyone told us throughout the night that this was the best wedding they had ever been to....and I know it wouldn't have been possible without the experitse of Lynn and her staff. There is no doubt in my mind that we will be going back for years to come on our honeymoon...and who knows, maybe we will renew our vows in 5 just to do it all over again!

Gorgeous venue, welcoming host, VERY well organized!

My wife and I do not hesitate to recommend whole heartedly The Black Horse Inn. The Black Horse Inn provided the perfect venue for our daughters wedding reception. The grounds and the Gilded Fox were immaculate. Lynn and her staff were accommodating, competent, and professional in every way.

My Husband and I were looking for a Reception venue that offered class, room for comfortable seating and dancing, and a great view. With the Black Horse in we got all three.
Planning a wedding is a lot of work, however once my husband and I chose the Black Horse Inn for our Reception venue, they cut our work in half. they gave us lists of other vendors for music and food that allowed us to trust who we were using.

THe Black Horse Inn is a beautiful venue that gave us a magical night to share our wedding with our family and friends.

On July 23, 2011, my son and daughter-in-law were married at the Black Horse Inn. I cannot say enough nice things about the Lynn and her staff. Whether it was rescuing us via phone when we were lost or helping guest move babies and mothers about the property in golf carts, they were there for us with a smile. I was lucky enough to be a guest at the bed and breakfast for the weekend and enjoyed delicious, creative meals each morning. The Black Horse Inn is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and was a wonderful place to relax between the wedding events and visit with family.

If you are looking for a wedding venue that will leave people asking "How did you ever find such a perfect place to have a wedding?" then head to the Black Horse Inn. The Inn itself and the grounds provided a romantic location to house family and friends for the weekend of our daughter's wedding. The reception building "The Gilded Fox" is absolutely gorgeous and a short walk from the Inn. We were expertly guided through the planning process by the owner, Lynn and the weekend of the wedding treated beautifully by her staff. They could have not been more helpful and calming tending to the bride and mother of the bride's every need! Extended family and friends stayed at the various hotels and B&Bs in the area. The town of Warrenton provided shops and restaurants for those staying the weekend. Being from N.J. we were considering the Hudson Valley to provide us with a venue of space, views and exclusivity. We are so glad that we looked south instead for an easy "destination" wedding. The day and the weekend was a complete success!

The Black Horse Inn in Warrenton, Virginia exceeded our expectations as a venue for our daughter's wedding. Not only did we have the absolutely perfect outdoor setting for the ceremony, and a fabulous facility for the reception, but the Inn itself served as a fairy tale setting for the bridal party to live in for two days and two nights. The facilities were immaculate, well maintained, and exceedingly comfortable. As pleased as we are with the facilities, they do not compare to the service provided by Lynn Pirozzoli and her staff. Lynn is the CEO and owner of the Black Horse Inn, and the Mastermind behind providing our daughter with the perfect wedding. Her staff made all of us feel like royalty. Lynn worked with us in the months leading up to the wedding, too. She provided a list of recommended vendors for virtually every service needed, giving us a head start in our search for all the usual arrangements. I could go on and on singing praises for Lynn and her crew. I vigorously recommend the Black Horse Inn for your wedding venue. Thank You Lynn!

Our daughter was married at the Black Horse Inn this past weekend. We had planned a garden wedding at the gazebo and rain was in the forecast. Lynn (the owner) was fantastic. She ran a hour by hour weather report so that we would be able to make an informative decision on where to have the ceremony. The staff was ready and willing to make the necessary changes if needed. We were able to have the wedding outside and it was beautiful. The staff were so responsive to our needs. Golf carts were available for the elderly to be transported from one venue to the other and this relieved alot of concerns. After the ceremony we moved to the tented cocktail hour. The tent was beautiful and our guests were very comfortable. Shortly after we moved into the Guilded Fox for the reception the rain came in torrents. As our guests were departing the reception Lynn and her staff arranged to transport our guests to their cars. We were so impressed that they had the forsight to arrange this service. Our stay for the weekend was spectacular. Thank you to Joyce for her wonderful stuffed french toast, breakfast quiche and sparkling personality. During the entire year of planning for this special day Lynn and her staff were very helpful and responsive. Anytime I had a question they were immediately back to me with an answer. Prior to the wedding we were able to access the Guilded Fox and Garden Terrace to decorate. Pam and Fatima were there helping and seeing to our every need. By the time the wedding day actually arrived we were ready and relaxed. I cannot say enough good things about the service we received at the Black Horse Inn. We experienced true "Southern Hospitality". I would highly recommend the BHI to anyone planning a wedding, anniversary, or weekend get away. The enitre venue is very picturesque and the children at the wedding totally enjoyed feeding and petting the horses. Thank you Lynn, Mel, Pam, Joyce and Fatima for all you did to make our daughter's wedding day so spectacular. You all have a special place in our hearts.

The Black Horse Inn is the perfect place to have a wedding. The grounds are beautiful, the staff is knowledgeable, and Lynn was very helpful. There was no need to have a wedding planner Lynn, Joyce, and her staff helped us through everything! The wedding went smoothly, the staff set up pretty much everything for us, told us where to be and what to do. I was also impressed that Lynn had all of the vendors contact information and schedules. I knew that if someone didn't show up or did something wrong she would take care of it. It helped relieve a lot of stress. The Black Horse Inn helped make our wedding day dreams come true...I wish I could do it again!
