Beautiful venue for our wedding!

We recently had our wedding at the Briar Patch and it was a beautiful day and an overall excellent experience working with them. They were very responsive and helpful with our planning. We ended up booking the entire site for the weekend to host family and friends from out of town. They helped us find a caterer and plan the whole event. Everything was just easy working with them. They were flexible, up front with costs, and just easy to work with. We highly recommend the Briar Patch for your event!

A Home Away From Home

Getting married at Briar Patch was the greatest decision we ever made for ourselves. Dan and Ellen are unbelievably kind and generous; it is their spirit that you feel when you choose to get married here. They were responsive to our barrage of questions and bring years of experience that benefitted us in moments of confusion. I never once felt like they were trying to sell us something but were simply there to provide guidance when we asked for it. I am so glad Briar Patch is part of our story and that we got to be a small glimpse of its story as well.

Don't get married anywhere else! :D

We had our wedding at Briar Patch Bed & Breakfast Inn two weeks ago, and it was incredible! The place is gorgeous with stunning views and big enough to fit all our friends, over 35 people! Dan and Ellen, the owners, were so welcoming and helpful every step of the way.

Before we chose this place, I thought about having our wedding in a hotel, but I wasn't too excited about that. When I saw this venue online, I fell in love right away. We visited, and I knew it was exactly where I wanted to get married. The historic vibe and beautiful outdoor spaces made our photos and videos look amazing.

We got the whole place for two nights, making our wedding feel like a fun getaway for everyone. Dan made sure we all had a great time, sharing stories and serving delicious breakfasts. We made so many happy memories!

I highly recommend Briar Patch to anyone looking for a wedding venue. It's not just a place to get married; it's a magical place that feels like home. Our single friends joked about finding someone just so they could get married here too! If you're planning your wedding, definitely go check it out. You'll love it just as much as we did!

We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

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.
