Sweet Briar Farm is a rural wedding venue situated in Linden, Texas. Dating back to the 1890s, this property once functioned as a cattle farm. Current owners Toni and Lewis Melton built their family home here in the early 2000s, building a barn for Toni’s mother to live in. This barn set the scene for their son’s wedding in 2017, and the facility has been hosting marital celebrations ever since. Nestled amid East Texas’ picturesque Piney Woods, this modern farmhouse venue can provide the backdrop for your entire once-in-a-lifetime event.

my experience with this vendor was lovely and I would not change a thing.
I cannot say enough great things about Sweet Briar Farm and the amazing owner, Toni Melton.
Her talent and ability to transform her venue into your dream wedding goes beyond words. She is professional, she is kind, and she does her job very, very well. She went beyond just renting a beautiful venue. She helped bring our vision of an elegant wedding alive. Toni is incredibly easy to work with, kept everything positive and joyful, and worked well with the other vendors.
With the help of Toni, my husband and I were able to enjoy the wedding planning process and our wedding day.
Sweet Briar Farm is tucked away, surrounded by the piney woods of East Texas. It’s easy for guests to find, right off of a county road near Hwy 59, but it’s secluded, which offers you exclusivity.
The venue itself is beautiful and hardly needs the help of any decorations. From the light fixtures, the outdoor patio and fireplace, to the huge sliding doors with floor to ceiling windows allowing a stunning view of the beautiful landscape surrounding the venue.
I would choose Sweet Briar Farm over and over again and would recommend this venue to anyone for their special event!
