Wedding Dreams Come True

I've always dreamed of my wedding and had the highest expectations for it. I can confidently say that Barley Sheaf made my dreams come true above and beyond expectations!

The venue itself is easy to fall in love with. The historic inn is gorgeous and each room is beautifully designed with antique furniture and detailed, timeless decor. The grounds are so well-maintained and taken care of.

But even better than the grounds & venue is the staff at Barley Sheaf. I can't express enough how caring, thorough, and communicative each member of the team has been through this entire process. I've never heard of another friend having such a supportive staff dedicated to their wedding as you have at Barley Sheaf. They went above and beyond catering to our every needs and making us feel like our comfort and happiness was the sole focus of the day (which isn't always the case at other venues).

This place will always be so special to us. We hope you decide to have your wedding here!

1000% Recommend

FIVE STARS. Can’t recommend The Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm enough for your wedding! We had a 60 person wedding on a Thursday night in October at Barley Sheaf and it was absolutely wonderful. The ambiance was perfect, we loved the foliage all around and the natural beauty of the venue. When we were first looking for a venue we toured Barley Sheaf with Mark, one of the owners, and he was lovely. We loved the historical vibe and that they have rescue farm animals on site. We had brunch there to try the food (which was amazing!) before deciding to book. We loved that the venue provides day-of-coordination and helps with some planning beforehand, they provided vendor recommendations and we had several meetings with them throughout our wedding planning process. They were quick to respond to emails and very organized!

Our day was seamless no doubt thanks to Kelly, our coordinator. Everyone we worked with there was great. All night people kept saying Melissa was amazing as well :) We loved that the venue also provides food so we didn’t have to find a caterer. And they are a bed and breakfast so my husband and I and some of our guests could stay onsite and didn’t need to drive to another hotel after. For the wedding Barley Sheaf also supplies linens, glassware, tableware, and mixers. For the bar we had to provide liquor, champagne, beer/wine, but that actually helped us save money rather than paying for a bar package with another venue or caterer. We also loved that seasonal beverages were provided as welcome drinks to greet the guests as they arrived for the ceremony, we thought that was a really nice touch! Right after my husband and I walked back down the aisle finally married, our coordinator Kelly greeted us with our signature drinks to kick off cocktail hour. During cocktail hour almost every waiter checked in with my husband and I to see if they could get us anything, it was so considerate and they really went the extra mile. We opted for the breads and spreads and meat & cheese stations for cocktail hour which were a hit. My husband said the homemade tortilla chips were to die for.

Along with 2 stations during cocktail hour, we also got 6 passed hors d'oeuvres. We opted for red pepper soup shooters, bbq shrimp on polenta cake, mini crab cakes, mini cheesesteaks, spinach spanakopita, and 5-spice duck on a cracker with pear miso butter. Every hors d'oeuvre was amazing, everyone had a different favorite! The spanakopita was really popular among the vegetarians. My personal favorites were the duck and red pepper soup shooters, and my husband loved the cheesesteak and crabcakes. For dinner we chose a choice of roasted chicken with roasted brussels sprouts and potatoes, herb risotto cake with goat cheese and red pepper wontons, and braised short ribs with mashed potatoes and haricot verts. Everything was phenomenal. My husband had the short ribs, I had the herb risotto cake, and then we split a plate of chicken. At the tasting I thought the herb risotto cake was perfect, but then at the wedding when I had the chicken… The chicken was insanely good. I don’t even like short ribs but the short ribs were also excellent.

Overall everyone was great to work with, very accommodating, very considerate. We already want to go back to stay the night for our one year anniversary. Thank you to everyone at Barley Sheaf for making our wedding a dream and stress-free.
