Sweeney Barn is a rustic yet elegant wedding venue in Manassas, Virginia. This newly restored barn and outdoor venue is perfect for couples looking for a unique and sophisticated venue. Sweeney Barn was first constructed in the early 20th century and has retained all of the character and charm of the time. Sweeney Barn was constructed in 1939 by a family of dairy farmers in Manassas. It was originally a one-story dairy barn with a hayloft, where the Birkett family stabled their livestock. The barn was eventually abandoned until Alannah and Noel Sweeney purchased the property and decided to restore it to its former glory and turn it into an elegant venue.

Facilities and Capacity
Sweeney Barn has both indoor and outdoor facilities, with the capacity to host up to 200 guests for a seated banquet with a dance floor. The barn is easily accessible for guests of differing abilities and is climate-controlled inside for everyone's comfort. The lower level has an open floor plan which can accommodate ceremonies or cocktail hours. The upper level consists of a grand ballroom for the reception and a get-ready-suite for wedding preparations.

Services Offered
Sweeney Barn may be a historical building, but it is easily accessible and fully equipped with modern amenities. You will have up to ten hours of access to the facilities - three hours for set-up, six hours for guests, and one hour for clean-up.

Sweeney Barn rental includes:

  • (200) white padded chairs
  • (20) wine barrels with stools for high-top tables
  • (24) 66" round banquet tables seating 8-10 guests each
  • (10) 6' rectangle tables for buffet, dessert, DJ, etc.
  • (1) half moon sweetheart table
  • (1) ceremony podium
  • (2) ceremony arches
  • Assorted lanterns, decor and lawn games

Couples must have a wedding coordinator present for the event. There is a list of preferred partners that have a great relationship with the venue and know how the layout and flow of the space work best. Couples may choose to use a full-service caterer outside of the provided list for an additional $1,000 fee. They can also use any restaurant for the food for no additional fee, but they are then required to work with a specific company on Sweeney Barn's partner list for the set up, break down, bartending, cleaning and trash removal. This can be discussed and coordinated with the venue prior to the event.

The BEST venue is the DMV area!

Initially we were looking at different venues when we were researching. Sweeney happened to be the first venue I went to see and I fell in love immediately! Not only it is a beautiful venue, but the team is amazing. The manager Andrea is so helpful and responsive. I asked so so so many questions, but she always gave answers. Throughout the whole planning time she gave recommendations and such as well. Very easy to work with and the team is so productive. Our guests were enjoying themselves and they couldn’t stop mentioning how beautiful the venue is. Some of the guests already asked me to pass Sweeney’s info so their family members can get married here as well. If you want your elegant, rustic, beautiful, and classy wedding this is the venue for you. Since it is already so elegant and pretty, you can go less with the decorations. I highly recommend Sweeney!!

Unforgettable Wedding at Sweeney Barn

Sweeney Barn is a beautiful and wonderful venue! The team is incredibly professional and well organized. Their list of vendors was such a great help and ensured we had the best possible team surrounding us. The attention to detail and impeccable service was amazing. As a couple we knew they would assist and support us on our special day. Our wedding was excellent, not only was the venue spectacular but everything ran smoothly and we only have great memories.

Great venue, great team

The team at Sweeney Barn is fantastic, from the planning to day of. They planned for everything, and then when invariably hiccups (on our side, not theirs) occurred, their onsite team swung into action to hep us immediately. They are fantastic. Also good value for all you get because rental also includes tables and chairs, which most other venues charge for (and some decorations too!)
