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! -

Just perfect!
We absolutely loved every minute of planning and having our wedding with the Barley Sheaf. The entire team was thoughtful, creative, accommodating, sweet, and good at their jobs. We worked most with Kelly, and she is a rockstar!!! The venue is beautiful and can be left alone to be gorgeous or I would imagine can accommodate a wide range of themes. The food was amazing!! They even created a new dish not on their menu for us. All of our guests loved the venue and raved about every aspect. -

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.

Magical! Beautiful! Wonderful!
The most beautiful venue, inside and out! The most wonderful owners and staff to work this! They addressed details I didn’t even know to address! Not enough adjectives to describe our experience working with them and the actual day! Rain or shine , it’s gorgeous! -

Amazing wedding experience
We absolutely LOVED everything about our wedding day. Deena, Mark, Kelly & the rest of the team absolutely exceeded our expectations. We received multiple compliments from guests on the service, food, and overall vibes of the wedding. Booking the Inn at Barley Sheaf was the best decision we made for our wedding day. We had multiple planning meetings with the staff throughout the months leading up to the wedding and this helped ease any wedding day stress/anxiety. We would recommend this venue to anyone looking! -

The perfect wedding
We had an incredible experience at The Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm! My wife and I were married there in December of 2023 and from our very first meeting with the team there (and the owner), BSF was attentive, answered all of our questions quickly and were true partners with us during our event. The event itself was incredibly well-managed and the wedding team made sure we enjoyed our own wedding! Our guests raved about the service and quality of the food and the rooms were unique and loved by all who stayed. I can't recommend this venue enough!

Just the best!
To start with, the venue is just gorgeous. More importantly the team you work with is responsive, knowledgeable, flexible, relaxed and highly competent. And the amazing food doesn’t hurt either.
Getting married for a second time we wanted a casual event, it was everything we hoped for. We planned to marry outdoors, it rained but these guys are pros, not even a small hitch. The coordinator on the day introduced herself to me at the start or the day and checked in to see if I needed anything throughout the event. At one point I saw we were out of salmon, which I mentioned. Next time I came back to our table a beautiful piece of salmon was waiting for me - never had time to eat it but I appreciated the effort.
The price was fair, something hard to find in our area and we don’t feel like we had to compromise on a thing.
It was a beautiful, easy and fun day. I’m so glad we chose the Inn at Barley Sheaf. -

The most amazing venue!
We have too many amazing things to say about Mark and Deena and the entire staff at Barley Sheaf! Our wedding day was beyond perfect. From start to finish, everyone on the wedding planning team was so helpful. From answering my hundreds of questions to being flexible with plans on the day of and executing everything to perfection. My husband and I truly felt like we were the only couple Mark and Deena were focused on throughout the whole process. Not only is the staff great, but the food and accommodations were top notch as well. The venue itself is so beautiful and the grounds are so well kept. This is a venue that is picture perfect year round.-

Stunning Venue, Amazing Food, Personal Touch of Owners every step of the way!
If you’re looking for a wedding venue where every detail will be executed perfectly, where you are on a first name basis with the owners of the venue, and you don’t need to worry about anything because they’re on top of everything… book The Barley Sheaf Inn. The venue itself speaks for itself in terms of the beauty and creating the perfect rustic yet also elegant feel. I can’t wait to get our photos back because I know how amazing they’re going to be. The food is unparalleled when it comes to a wedding venue. Everyone was shocked at the 5 star restaurant quality of everything we ate. Location is perfect, just a 10 minute drive from downtown new hope, so your guests will who arrive early will have plenty to explore and so will you when you go to visit the venue leading up to your big day. The rooms at the inn for you and your guests if you stay at the Inn are stunning with beautiful antique furniture and so many unique features like large jacuzzi tubs and balconies in many of the rooms. All weekend we felt at home at the inn, getting to enjoy the pool and the beautiful grounds with our bridal party so that it felt like an entire weekend getaway of just a wedding. I can’t wait to go back in a few years to stay at the inn for our anniversary. But the most outstanding part of having your wedding at The Barley Sheaf was how well managed every aspect of our wedding was throughout the planning process up until the big day. When we’ve compared our experience with our friends and family with that of their wedding venues no one had anything like the care and attention to detail we had working with Deena and Mark. From offering advice on any random question I had about planning, whether it had to do with the venue or not, to literally bustling my dress on the day of. Thank you Deena and Mark for everything!! -

Perfect wedding venue!
We got married at the Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm in May 2022. Its a beautiful setting for a wedding and you can't go wrong choosing them for your venue.
Mark, Deena and the whole Barley team were such a joy to work without throughout the planning process and made us feel comfortable and relaxed going into our wedding weekend. On the day of the wedding, the whole staff was always there to assist with anything we needed and ensured everything was exactly as we envisioned! We received lots of rave reviews about the food and the staff, who did such a great job of making everything ran smoothly from start to finish.
We visited lots of venues in the area and one under-rated advantage to BSF is the flexibility their property provides with multiple options for your ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate on our wedding day, but we were able to move our ceremony inside into the beautiful large barn space and we honestly didn't spend a minute worrying about the rain because everything turned out perfectly with our "backup" plan!
We highly recommend Barley Sheaf Farm to any couples getting married in the Philadelphia area. -

Thank you for an amazing venue!
The Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm was a beautiful location for a fall wedding and everyone we talked to at the venue was so friendly. We had a small wedding and they helped us pick the perfect ceremony location that ensured we wouldn't be looking into the sun, coordinated the ceremony perfectly, and were friendly to work with from the start of the process onward. Highly recommend this venue! Thank you again. -

Truly the best of the best! We love Barley Sheaf!
Where to even begin with the Inn at Barley Sheaf? Everything, and I mean everything, was perfection. Our wedding was truly magical.
My husband and I were married there on 12/11/21. We got engaged during COVID and toured BSF in Fall 2020 after friends of ours raved about how incredible their staff had been in shifting and accommodating all of the COVID weddings during 2020. As soon as we arrived there, we immediately felt welcomed like old friends, and met with a service that is unmatched in today's world. On top of being insanely beautiful all over the property, we immediately knew this was the venue and the team for us.
The planning process was so easy thanks for the event team at BS. We live in Maryland, so planning from a distance can sometimes make it hard, but we never experienced that with Barley Sheaf. They provided guidance and answered all questions any time of day or night. Deena is such a light and pure joy! She would call me just to say hi and catch up, and was a friend, confidant, and sometimes second mother to us both! My husband and I always loved chatting with her and the entire staff. We loved how flexible they were to our needs, the way they respond to the ever changing COVID landscape, and how they treat you like family.
The entire wedding weekend, our family and friends commented on the service and energy of Mark, Deena, Melissa, RiAnne, and the entire BSF staff. They were everywhere and always one step ahead of any need or ask. It is not something you see or experience regularly anywhere else. On top of the service, the food is impeccable. Our tasting day was truly our favorite day of planning process.
We are so grateful to the Barley Sheaf team for making our day so beautiful and being the perfect place to celebrate our next chapter as husband and wife. We are truly sad we don't get to work with them now that the wedding is behind us, but have already made a pact and plan to visit annually (at least!) to relive our wedding memories and say hello to our 2nd family. Thank you BSF! You are truly the best of the best in everything you do!-

Beautiful day…made everyone feel cared for
The Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm was amazing. We had an absolutely gorgeous wedding. They took such stride’s to care for my parents who are older and have health issues to make sure they were comfortable and able to be part of everything. It really meant so much to me. The food was delicious, the venue is so beautiful and the staff is beyond compare. We had the wedding of our dreams. -

Absolutely perfect in every way
We got married in October 2021 at Barley Sheaf, with an outdoor ceremony & cocktails, and reception in the barn. Having our wedding at Barley Sheaf was the best choice we could have made. From the moment we stepped on the property, we knew this was where we wanted to celebrate our big day. The property is gorgeous, so well kept, spacious, and very Bucks County, which we really wanted. More importantly, the staff is unbelievable. Deena, Mark, and the whole team were responsive, supportive, and helped us with every aspect of the day for the 14 months of planning. Planning a wedding during COVID is especially stressful, but we were kept up to date on all of the new guidelines, policies, and plans. BSF was very responsible in terms of COVID, making sure everyone felt comfortable and safe and doing what they could to ensure this. Beyond this, the food at Barley Sheaf is absolutely amazing!!! Our guests were blown away by the food, and by how it was presented. Day of, Deena was great, keeping everything on schedule, checking in on us, and making sure things ran smoothly (which they fully did). Everyone who was at the wedding has been saying for weeks how beautiful, seamless, and truly spectacular the day was. We could not be happier, and would recommend BSF to any couples who are looking for a fairytale wedding! -

Incredibly beautiful venue and invaluable staff!
Putting this upfront because I wanted to know when we were venue searching--this place is perfectly LGBT friendly!
My wife and I got married at the Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm at the end of May and it was the most amazing experience--everything we could have possibly wanted and more. From day one to day of, Deena was there for us, answered every single question and handled any concerns. She and Mark consistently updated us with any changes surrounding COVID regulations and guidelines and were ready with plans A through Z.
A couple days before our wedding, which we were originally planning to hold outside, thunderstorms and a cold front rolled into the area and we had to make the call to move indoors. Deena made this happen within a matter of days and everything went off without a hitch.
The grounds are gorgeous, the food was delicious, and Deena, Mark and the rest of the team were so incredibly attentive. It was such a beautiful event and all our guests had an amazing time. We would choose BSF over and over again if we could! -

The Perfect Venue
I could give you a million reasons why you should book Barley Sheaf Farm (BSF) for your wedding. My husband and I chose BSF because we felt the venue fit our personality, they’re known for great food (which was important to us), but really we picked BSF because of Mark and Deena. From our very first tour it felt like they were welcoming us into their home. Mark and Deena truly put their heart and soul into BSF and it shows. It became apparent very quickly that we made the right decision. On top of all their help with the normal planning process, Deena, Mark, and the BSF team worked tirelessly to answer COVID question, ease concerns, and keep us updated. They bent over backwards and then some to make sure despite the pandemic everything would be perfect.
Looking back at the weekend I know just how hard they worked to make sure our day was seamless and absolutely perfect. They have all the details, even the smallest ones covered! For example, my husband and I actually got to enjoy the food on our wedding day. The BSF team made sure during cocktail hour we got a little of everything and we were served our dinner first to give us an opportunity to eat!
Our families stayed on property for the weekend which made it feel like a destination wedding but with all the benefits of a local wedding. Thanks to the whole BSF team we had the most perfect, magical wedding day. They treated us like family and we now have a very special place to return to for anniversaries (but we’ll be back for dinner before then)! Booking barley sheaf for your wedding will be the best decision you make. -

Magical Wedding Day
Our daughter’s wedding took place last weekend at The Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm. This is truly a magical setting; a beautiful manor house with impeccable landscaping and historic accents provided the perfect picturesque backdrop for an outdoor tented wedding. With the current restrictions and health and safety guidelines to move outdoors, Deena, Mark and staff quickly transitioned our vision to a beautiful tented intimate wedding. The wedding day was seamless and exceeded our expectations.
From the attentive professional staff to the phenomenal farm to table dinner, no detail was left out.
From day one, we were treated like family and any questions or concerns were answered and put to rest. The owners are on site and working throughout the evening to ensure everyone’s needs are met. How impressive!
From start to finish, this day was magnificent. Our family continues to rave about the beauty of the farm and the great celebration that was had by all.

Just Say Yes
Everything you read in all these reviews is true. This place is utterly enchanting and run by the kindest, most attentive couple I've ever met in hospitality - Deena and Mark Frank. Deena and Mark will make you feel like they've adopted you and your loved ones. They just care.
COVID turned our 200 person New Jersey-venue wedding in March into a 30 person wedding at the Inn at Barley Sheaf in August -- and we would not change a thing about our wedding day. We had about 20 others stay on-site with us for the weekend and everyone fell in love.
Our wedding was spectacular: the events team is flexible and professional, the light-filled rooms have character, the food is DELICIOUS, and the hospitality is gracious and always generous. This is the place to hold any event, big or small.
My husband and I decided to stay an extra night after all our other guests had gone home. We were eating breakfast on the restaurant patio the next day and we just had this MOMENT looking out on the magnificent view and watching all the butterflies swirl around the flowers. WHAT IS THIS PLACE? We absolutely can't wait to go back and visit for anniversaries to come. You better be expecting us, Mark and Deena! -

Baby Shower during a Pandemic
After having to completely change my venue due to the pandemic, the Inn at Barley Sheaf was super accommodating to try and help fit us in a date so I could still celebrate my baby shower as normally as possible! The owners Mark and Deena answered all our questions and concerns when new rules and restrictions would turn up from the Governor. We were able to follow all the rules, wear masks indoors, to keep all my guests as safe as possible while still having the most GORGEOUS baby shower ever. I am so thankful for the staff that prepared and served the meal and drinks, they worked so hard and did an amazing job and were super pleasant and accommodating! The food was great, everyone LOVED the scones and mint tea! I am super thankful for the Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm for allowing us to have some semblance of normalcy in an otherwise un-normal world we are living in right now. My first baby, a boy, was celebrated and showered with so much love and I can't thank Barley Sheaf enough!

Everything you've always dreamed in a venue. Yes. No, I'm not exaggerating.
Why Inn at Barley Sheaf would be right for you:
- You want a stunning "weekend in the country" vibe. (Meaning, luxury Bed and Breakfast, "Philadelphia Story," country living)
- You want exceptional, delectible, exciting, yet crowd-pleasing, food. And a chef that will honor every allergy and diatariy restriction.
- You want your family and wedding party to stay on-site at the venue and make memories together for the wedding weekend
- You want to be near amazing culture, flora, fauna, food, other hotels (stunning and affordable) and activities for your guests.
- You want an inclusive and joyous atmosphere.
- You want guidance and help in the planning and execution of the day. And even it you don't, you can hand it over day-of and they will take care of everything. (Hit me up at @alliesante on twitter or insta and I will tell you how incredible this team is. I work in catering and wedding planning and I've never, never, NEVER worked with or seen a better on-site team.
- You want to make forever friends with the owners of one of the most beautiful Bed and Breakfasts in the area.
- You want to enjoy your wedding. Every second. They take care of you.
I know you have so many questions. So, so many logistical questions. Mark and Deena at the Inn at Barley Sheaf have your answers. And the answers to questions that you didn't even know you had.
My husband and I had the best day of our lives. And we will never stop thanking this team for our weekend. I am a planner and worried as much as anyone could. Only Deena could have reassured me and taken from my hands and executed the most important party of my life.
Our guests will never stop thanking us. It is our luck that our guests think that we were their hosts. Mark and Deena were the hosts and Mark and Deena and their incredible staff made it all happen.
I am forever grateful.

Absolutely Incredible!
I'm not sure there are words to express how awesome the Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm, and the people behind it, truly is. The venue itself is full of unique and vintage character, the restaurant and food is wonderfully delicious, and the owners and staff are so warm and welcoming. It really makes for the perfect wedding venue.
Wedding planning can be overwhelming, but Deena and the team are very organized and helped facilitate a great timeline for planning. Leading up to my wedding day Mark, Deena, Reeanne, and Moana were my go-to people. They were so responsive and caring throughout the whole process.
July 20th, 2019 just happened to be the HOTTEST day of the year and Mark & Deena, and the team, were so very accommodating and flexible for me, my party, and my guests. I was so nervous that my day was going to go awry due to the heat. I cannot thank the team enough for respecting my wish to have a ceremony outside, and for how well the whole day came together! They are true problem solvers and so very flexible!!
The Inn itself is lovely, and it truly made for such a wonderful weekend. It was so nice to be able to visit with family from out of state while enjoying the delightful atmosphere of the venue and prepare for our special day. I look forward to visiting again.
Thank you so much, Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm.-

You'll feel like family when your wedding is over!!
Where to begin with this amazing venue?! I get teary eyed thinking about our wedding weekend that they put on for us. If you are lucky enough to have your wedding here - you will meet Mark and Deena who are the stars leading their amazing team. Deena especially has weddings down to a science - she and their whole staff were there for us every step of the way in the wedding planning process. I appreciated the many phone calls and emails exchanged with the team figuring out logistics and making sure that every detail was planned out to match our wedding dreams. With their resources and expertise it made wedding planning easy - and on the day we were stress free as they take care of everything!
We had a particularly large wedding and their entire team rose to the occasion and put on the wedding weekend of our dreams. During the weekend the staff took care of every. single. detail. Including when we ran out of beer the night before and Mark took care of it and made sure that we had enough for the wedding day! This venue/staff goes above and beyond every day and are committed to high quality and amazing service. We feel lucky to have such cherished memories at the Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm. -

Can I rate higher than 5 stars?!
Where to begin?! Our wedding at Barley Sheaf was absolutely perfect. Everything about the venue was wonderful - it is beautiful, the owners and staff are incredible, and they make the whole planning process so easy! Mark and Deena are amazing. They make an effort to get to know you as a couple and are involved in every step of the way - they felt like family by the end! It's pretty cool when the owner of the venue comes out to give you a sample of your cocktail hour menu so you don't miss out while you're taking pictures - talk about 5-star service! And of course, all of our guests said the food was the best they had ever had. I truly have nothing bad to say about this venue, and I can't wait to visit every year on our anniversary - if not sooner! Thank you to Mark, Deena, Reanne, and the whole team!-

An exceptional wedding experience!
I'm not sure where to begin. We had our wedding at Barley Sheaf 2 1/2 weeks ago and wish we could relive it all over again. From our first experience viewing the property with Mark we were wowed. Mark and Deena are very hands-on owners and make everyone feel special and welcome. As a theater professional, we also loved that the property was once owned by playwright George Kaufman and continued that theme to certain aspects of the day. The details of planning the event were with the fabulous trio of Deena, Abbey and Reeanne. These ladies are top notch with a great balance of knowing what works at the venue yet allowing the bride and groom to bring their ideas. Throughout many emails and a few in-person meetings we felt very comfortable that nothing was falling through the cracks in preparations. We had a plan at our ceremony rehearsal and the ladies knew the logisitics of the venue so well that they seemlessly facilitated how and when people entered down the aisle etc.
Did I mentioned that you do not need to hire a wedding planner when you choose Barley Sheaf? You are in such good hands with the staff there. We had a snafu with a very late photographer on the wedding day and Deena was completely on the case helping us stay calm and making calls for a backup to arrive. In fact, several of the staff were calling or posting on facebook (which we found out the next day) to help out the photo situation. Guests were impressed with the beautiful outdoor setting and several asked "How did you find this amazing place?". Throughout the whole day the staff made us feel so taken care of. When we visited guest tables during dinner it was clear by the many empty plates that guests loved the food. Barley Sheaf is known for its food and did not disappoint. They are also very accommodating to any guests who have food allergies. It was lovely the next morning to leisurely eat a fabulous breakfast in the dining room among our guests who had stayed at the inn. We will definitely be back to dine for our anniversary...if we can wait that long. Overall we had an exceptional experience at Barley Sheaf and the wonderful staff. Thank you! -

The Most Magical Wedding Venue!
We were lucky enough to get married at The Inn at Barley Sheaf in May of 2019. Without a doubt, selecting the Inn for our wedding venue was the perfect decision, and our day was absolutely magical. Mark and Deena (the owners) were so incredibly kind, patient, helpful, and welcoming throughout our planning process and did everything they could to help us feel comfortable and calm. Abbey & Reanne (the other planners) were amazing!!! While planning, they helped us make some important decisions and did such a great job of being honest, kind, responsive, and caring. The whole team is truly professional, knowledgeable, and really knows what they are doing. We were so impressed by them all!
The day of our wedding, I was nervous of course, but the calmness of the whole team really helped me relax. Abbey, Reanne and Deena were so helpful and really were so involved to ensure that everything went off perfectly. They were right there throughout the entire day, making sure we were happy, fed, and always had a drink in our hand! They helped with coordination and timing and it was easy to trust in them because again, it’s so clear that they really know what they are doing. Not to mention, the chef and the rest of the kitchen staff - wow!! Everything was delicious, they were so accommodating with dietary needs, and they worked so seamlessly during dinner service to make sure our large wedding got served in a timely fashion.
When first choosing a venue, a big reason we chose Barley Sheaf was because there were so many areas for customizing our day to truly make it ours, as opposed to other venues in the area with “packages” and a sort of revolving door feel. Barley Sheaf could not have lived up to our expectations any more, and the day felt so personal and fitting for us. Everything truly was perfect and it goes without saying that the setting is so peaceful, beautiful, and serene. Another huge plus is that you have the whole place to yourselves! Such a comforting feeling the day of the wedding to know you’re surrounded by friends & family.
I could go on and on about all of the reasons you should choose Barley Sheaf as your wedding venue, but I’ll leave it at this: you will NOT regret it! If we could get married 100 times over, we would always choose Barley Sheaf. We can’t thank them enough for everything they did and for making our once in a lifetime day everything that we could have imaged and more! -

The best day of our life together!
The Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm was the right choice for our wedding. We had 50 people on a Sunday night and it was an absolute blast. Everyone was so helpful and friendly from our very first meeting all the way to the minute we checked out of the inn the day after the wedding. During the wedding itself, we were both able to relax and thoroughly enjoy the day without having to worry about coordinating anything. The venue, food, service, professionalism, planning, and coordination were second to none. Barely Sheaf is a gorgeous location and it has so much classic American character and charm. We’d like to thank Mark, Deena, Reeanne, Abbey, Josh, and the rest of the Barley Sheaf staff for everything. We are so thankful that we were able to have our wedding at such a wonderful venue, it was simply an unforgettable, dream-like experience. -

The Absolute Perfect Venue!
Words can't express how excited I am to have my wedding here in May 2019! The whole event coordination staff is so sweet and so professional! The venue is to die for and even better in person! I love the flexibility they offer with picking a ceremony spot on the premise and how flexible they are with my endless requests! Exceptional service and hospitality all the way around! -

So happy we picked Barley Sheaf :)
My husband and I got married at Barley Sheaf in October. Barley Sheaf was the first venue we checked out and we immediately fell in love. Mark, Deena and the rest of the team were very responsive throughout the planning process despite that I may have asked them hundreds of questions. We were hoping for an outdoor ceremony under the trees and cocktail hour on the patio off the manor house but given the cold and rainy forecast several days out, we decided to move everything inside to the barn. Deena was amazing, calling all of our vendors to coordinate Plan B, including reaching out to the band to coordinate an early arrival of the drummer to avoid any disruption during the ceremony and cocktail hour. She handled this and other weather-related logistics with the other vendors without even being asked, which was so fortunate for me because I never would have thought of these logistics myself – especially just days before the wedding! Even in the rain, the venue was shockingly beautiful. Our pictures are amazing. There is a large fireplace in the barn which was burning during the ceremony which contributed to the cozy and romantic atmosphere and the acoustics were perfect for the string quartet. The staff at Barley Sheaf flipped the event space after the ceremony for the cocktail hour/reception in a matter of minutes. The entire day went without a hitch – my mom, my MoH and myself were completely stress free and didn’t have to worry about a thing. The guests have raved about the service and food. We will definitely go back again and again for brunches and dinners because the food is so amazing. Though the weather wasn’t what we envisioned, everything was more perfect than we ever could have imagined, and we are so happy we tied the knot at Barley Sheaf! -

The perfect venue for a perfect wedding!
If you are looking for a venue at which to have your dream wedding, look no further than The Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm.
Nestled at the end of a breathtaking, tree-lined driveway, The Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm looks is as if it were plucked out of a storybook. Neat landscaping and charming architecture adorn every square foot of the property. The Manor House, Barn, and Cottages feature spacious, one-of-a-kind guest rooms. You and your guests will love checking out each cleverly-named room's unique style.
Also located in the Barn is the newly and beautifully renovated main event space. Peering out onto the grounds, huge windows allow plenty of natural light to fill the room. Our reception spanned from late afternoon to early evening, so we had the pleasure of enjoying daylight, dusk, and moonlight. Adjoining the event space is a large deck, on which we placed comfortable seating and market lights, so that our guests could lounge and mingle outdoors. Just down the stairs of the deck there is a fire pit, where our guests roasted s'mores long after the music ended inside.
The food at The Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm is a clear cut above standard wedding fare. Locally-sourced and fresh, each dish is delicious. Some of our favorites were the mushroom arancini (one of several appetizers during cocktail hour), the campanelle pasta with vegetables in a pesto cream sauce (a pasta course before the entree), and the scallops and beef tenderloin split-plate entree. The kitchen and wait staff care about the details of food preparation and presentation, constructing every dish as if it were on display and serving all plates to the table at the same time. For our guests with dietary restrictions and food allergies, the food options were numerous and equally exquisite.
While each aspect is individually superlative, it is the remarkable team of people at The Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm that ensure your wedding experience is truly flawless. The owners Deena and Mark Frank are welcoming, knowledgeable, professional, and present. They expertly guide you through the intricacies of wedding planning, no matter how big or small the decision. We had challenging timing and lodging questions that they easily sorted out for us. The team is rounded out by Abbey and Reeanne, each with keen attentions to detail and passions for wedding planning. Altogether, the team makes it their top priority to make sure you and your guests are well taken care of. Two examples: At the rehearsal dinner, they surprised my wife with her favorite pie, key lime, despite it being out-of-season and hard to acquire. And at the cocktail hour, they stood by us with appetizers and drinks to make sure we had the chance to eat and drink before we got too busy mingling with our guests.
All in all, choosing the Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm for our wedding was the single best decision we made. We are already looking forward to going back for our anniversaries! -

The Wedding of Our Dreams!
My husband and I can truly say that we had the wedding of our dreams!! From the moment we came across the Inn at Barley Sheaf, we knew that this was the place that we wanted to celebrate the beginning of the rest of our lives together. We could talk about the beautiful grounds, or all of the options for ceremony locations, but the photos are enough proof of that! I want to talk about Mark, Deena, Abby, Reanne and the rest of the staff at the Inn. From the second we met them, they greeted us with open arms and treated us like family. Mark and Deena don't just own the Inn, they LOVE the Inn! And it shows with all of the effort and time that they put into every single wedding that they hold. It was all hands on deck from the second we stepped inside. They were there for us throughout the entire planning process, making sure that we stayed on track, and providing us with guidance and recommendations along the way (75% of our vendor recommendations came from Mark and Deena, and they did not disappoint!!). We spent our entire wedding weekend at the Inn, holding our rehearsal dinner in their newly renovated barn. It felt like a private weekend getaway surrounded by our closest family and friends. On the day of our wedding, we just knew that everything would go exactly as we had hoped for. Abby and Reanne spent the entire day making sure that every last detail was taken care of, even the smallest things didn't go unnoticed. The grounds are impeccable, the food is impeccable, and the staff is impeccable. We had our fairy tale wedding, and we owe it all to the Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm. The morning after the wedding, we were greeted by Mark and Deena in the downstairs foyer. Deena and I began to reminisce on the events from the entire weekend, and we cried together. If there is anyone that pours their heart and soul into their work, it is these two. We will forever be grateful for the memories that they have provided us with. We will be back on our anniversary to celebrate!! Much love to all of you at the Inn!! -

Top Notch Service
Mark and Deena were very attentive to delivering on our vision for our special day. They went above and beyond to make us feel like family! Unfortunately the morning of our wedding turned to rain. They assured us everything would be fine and they managed to deliver on our dream wedding despite the weather setback. We love having this venue also being a bed & breakfast where our whole family came to spend the weekend and it feel like our own home :-). We plan on spending our anniversary here every year going forward to relive the romance and beauty of this property. -

Best. venue. ever.
An absolute dream come true!! The most beautiful wedding venue with the very best team. I can't thank Mark and Deena enough for making everything about our day perfect.
There is something very special about the Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm and I fell in love instantly. Mark and Deena strike the perfect balance between making wedding planning feel fun and personalized while maintaining a high level of organization and professionalism that calms and assures you that all of the details are covered...and they were, every last one!
They LISTEN to you! During the planning stage, the entire team communicated with us frequently and took meticulous notes about what we envisioned for our wedding day. When we needed help, they suggested vendors and/or ideas, but never once pushed or pressured us into something we didn't want. Plus, they are flexible which we really appreciated because we moved out of state halfway through wedding planning and they didn't miss a beat. They are not a wedding factory. They are wonderful people who spend time with you and work to accommodate every request. Honestly, I will miss seeing them!
The grounds are stunning. The food is phenomenal (like really, really good). The rooms are gorgeous. The barn is completely renovated. The atmosphere is so romantic. The staff is unbeatable. I could go on and on and on...
We received SO many compliments about the Barley Sheaf and we had the time of our lives on our wedding day. I could not recommend this venue any more! -

Our Dream Wedding Brought to Life!
It goes without saying that we couldn’t have found a more perfect venue for our dream wedding. From the moment we stepped on the grounds and met Mark, who is one half of the power couple that owns the property, we knew that the Inn at Barley Sheaf was exactly what we were looking for. Mark dedicated an entire afternoon to touring the grounds with us and making it known that he was just as vested in our wedding as we were.
Before we started looking for a venue we agreed we wanted uniqueness, character, and most importantly a place where our wedding felt special and we wouldn’t be just another number. The Inn at Barley Sheaf gave us all of that and more! From the various impeccably styled rooms we filled with our family and friends, the exquisite grounds which make this bed and breakfast feel cozy yet elegant and luxurious at the same time, and the incredibly delicious award-winning restaurant style plates which our guests declared the best wedding meal they’ve ever had, we couldn’t have asked for more…
In comes Deena (making the power couple whole) and her expert planning team Abbey and Reeanne. These three women were able to take our vision and make it a reality better than we could’ve imagine. They knew exactly what questions to ask and were able to put together every inch of our wedding weekend allowing us the time to relax, take it all in and really enjoy ourselves. We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the rest of the staff at the Inn at Barley Sheaf who were attentive, pleasant, and who were just as happy for us as our own family and friends.
We leave you with this… some people will say that there may be minor hiccups at your wedding, and to just brush it off. But, we will say without hesitation, thanks to the dynamic duo Mark & Deena and their expert team at the Inn and Barley Sheaf, our magical wedding went off without one single hitch and for that we will always be grateful! We look forward to many more visits to the Inn, if for nothing else, than to eat the outstanding food prepared by Executive Chef Josh Homacki and his wonderful team!-

The Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm is a beautiful venue, and can accommodate a large wedding or a small one. Abbey and Reeanne were extremely helpful to us in planning our wedding with 31 attendees. The owners Mark and Deena were gracious throughout the process, and the staff was attentive and flawless in execution the day of our wedding. The cocktail hour on the patio was excellent. Our guests were served dinner in the dining room of the manor house, and the food was amazing! We were so very fortunate to have good weather on the day of our outdoor wedding in the garden adjacent to the gazebo. We received so many compliments from our guests. Our wedding was perfect, lovely, and memorable! You will not go wrong in considering the Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm for your wedding! -

Selecting the stunning Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm for our wedding weekend was the easiest and best decision we have ever made. From day one, the Inn staff went above and beyond with answering all our questions, reaching out to us to confirm details were in place and accommodating my dietary restriction. Abby and Deena were incredible at recommending reliable, highly professional and outstanding vendors to make our day go on without a hitch. On our wedding day, we were able to sit back, relax and enjoy the day. Reeanne, Abby and the event staff went above and beyond to make our guests feel welcome and accommodated all their needs and answered any and all requests. Our guests are still talking about the professionalism and outstanding care that the staff provided. Then we get to the food, the guests say, “not only was this the best meal at a wedding but the best meal we ever had”. Josh and Drew in the kitchen did an impeccable job creating a unique menu that met all the needs of our guests. From vegetarians to food allergies and meat lovers, the meals were far above expectations. The only negative of the weekend, having it come to an end. Mark, Deena and the entire Inn staff are truly top notch! -

This place is an absolute GEM. I had the wedding of my DREAMS here and the only question I got on my wedding day was "How did you find this place?!" I can't say enough about how professional, kind, and accommodating Deena and Mark Frank and their entire staff are.
The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous... like out of a dream. You drive in and there is this gorgeous tree lined drive up to the venue that has a Inn and a Barn. There are many individual suites that are so unique and special decked out in the most beautiful antique furniture you've ever seen that the wedding party can stay in all weekend. They recently just did construction and expanded their barn and I was lucky to be one of the first few weddings held in the new space. The space is INCREDIBLE .... huge windows, natural light, high ceiling, with beautiful wood finishings. They worked with an incredible architect that really took the space to the next level. Attached to the expanded barn is a huge deck that we were able to have our rehearsal dinner on. I literally spent my entire weekend on the property and never left - we did a wonderful rehearsal dinner al fresco on the deck for 40 people on Friday (delicious summer bbq fare), we got ready and stayed on property and had our first look and ceremony near their beautiful gardens with a great cocktail hour and had 120 guests for a reception in the barn, and finally, more than half of our guests came for a send off brunch the next day in the barn space again. Wait, I forgot about the after party where we had with a fire, s'mores, and hay bales outside.
Afterwards, people couldn't stop talking about the food and the space. My photos from the wedding are so beautiful and it is truly because how BEAUTIFUL the space is. Make an appointment for a tour and I promise you, it will be one of the easiest and best decisions you've ever made.
PS- There are mini horses. -

There are not enough kind words and compliments in the English language to adequately describe how fabulous it is to get married at The Inn at Barley Sheaf! My husband and I fell in love with this property instantly and working with owners Mark and Deena and their fantastic event planning team was a pleasure! They helped plan every last detail and were patient and prompt with my MILLIONS of emails and questions! The property is so romantic no matter what season you pick, rain, shine, or snow! We planned for a May outdoor garden wedding, followed by an outdoor cocktail hour with the reception in the (brand new barn)...Imagine my panic as the weather forecast accurately predicted heavy storms and downpours. The team at IBSF was on top of everything and helped convert the entire wedding plan to accommodate the weather. I can't even call it "Plan B" because it was just as beautiful and perfect as it would have been if it didn't rain. And the food....oh my gosh! The food is absolutely delicious! My guests won't stop raving about how my wedding had the BEST food they had ever had! There is not one thing I would change about my experience with IBSF! Thank you so much!!! -

We held our wedding at the Inn at Barley Sheaf in May 2018 and could honestly not imagine having our wedding anywhere else. It was a truly amazing weekend and we owe many thanks to Mark and Deena for providing such a beautiful venue, thoughtful service and just being all around friendly, professional hosts.
We spent a great deal of time visiting other wedding venues in the Bucks County and NJ area but when we first drove the tree lined drive up to Barley Sheaf we instantly knew this was the venue we wanted. It hit on everything we wanted: the classic and intimate feel, the beautiful on-site inn where our family and wedding part could stay, an amazing restaurant with top chefs who’d be preparing the wedding meal, and awesome owners in Mark and Deena who were amazingly nice but who we also knew how to handle any curveball on a crazy wedding weekend.
From the beautiful Inn rooms, brunch at the restaurant, wine and cheese happy hour, walking the grounds, and the amazing happy hour and reception, Mark and Deena made the Inn at Barley Sheaf feel like our own private estate for the weekend. We had so many friends and family come up to us and say it was hands down the best wedding they’ve ever been to.
We were the first wedding taking place after Barley’s new wedding space was built next to the existing barn, and we naturally were a little nervous that the project wouldn’t finish in time. However, Mark provided weekly updates, photos and naturally, the barn was done without a hitch and looked amazing.
We can not recommend the Inn at Barley Sheaf more emphatically, it was amazing.

We could not have had a more wonderful experience having our wedding and rehearsal dinner at the Inn at Barley Sheaf! It is the most beautiful and magical spot, run by the kindest and most hard-working owners, and the sweetest and most attentive staff. Also the food is unparalleled - especially their ability to accommodate different diets. They truly are so unique for what they do and they allow you to create the wedding of your dreams. It was incredible to have our closest friends and family stay on the property with us for the whole weekend - the grounds became a home for us all. It is a place we will cherish and return to forever. We love BSF! -

This is going to sound more like a love letter than a review, but I hope this helps you understand how amazing this place is. My husband and I got married here, and I cannot imagine doing it any other way!
Firstly, the property gives you the perfect amount of luxury retreat and cozy home. You can enjoy the fresh air in the garden or snuggle up by the fireplace in your room.
All the rooms are named after plays by George Kauffman, lending each one its own decor and style. Comfort and amenities are guaranteed in all. As a bride, I stayed in "The Man Who Came To Dinner" and loved everything from the view to the jacuzzi tub.
Secondly, by staying at the inn, you get the best breakfast and dinner. Every meal gets high scores for ingredients, presentation, and the ability to help you easily achieve the clean plate club. Furthermore, you get wine & cheese from 4-5pm! Luckily I was with friends and family who shouldn't judge me for standing next to the cheese the whole hour.
Lastly, the people at this inn are incredible. I think I told everyone that I love him or her by the time I left. The staff are attentive, lovely, and really do care about your stay. This is certainly a testament to how the owners, Mark and Deena, operate and work. If you are thinking of having your wedding here, Mark helps you get set up and is so patient, especially if you have a lot of questions like me! Once you've locked in a date, Deena and Debra take over to help you step by step to organize your perfect wedding day. Whatever you need, these ladies are on it! FYI - they told me they can't control 2 things: my guests and weather. But I'm pretty sure they made a special deal for me! The only time it stopped raining that weekend was on my wedding day!
Moral of the story: don't think twice about it, book it, and you won't regret it. -

If we could give The Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm a 6.0 / 5.0 we would - the professional staff and impeccable grounds far exceeded our expectations for our wedding! Every moment along the way - from our first phone call and first meeting, to the tasting, the last-minute phone calls and drop-in meetings, and even to the moment I walked down the aisle (Deena - the owner - holding my dress as I took my first steps towards the altar) The Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm made us calm and confident that we had chosen the very best place to be married. Being in the events industry myself for over 10 years, I rarely come across folks that are as responsive (don't be surprised if you get an email back within the hour; or even in the wee hours of the night!), as organized, and as down to Earth as Deena and Mark and their crew at Barley Sheaf. The property is breath-taking; the food is top-notch (the chef accommodated some of our favorite personal recipes) - our guests are still raving about both. And the accommodations (private jacuzzis, state of the art showers, fireplaces, and ornate furniture) are out of this world. Simply put, The Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm was the most idyllic location for our romantic and rustic wedding weekend and the staff made it all come together without any stress. What really impressed us was the realization that Deena and Mark weren't just our "vendors" but by the time the wedding weekend had come to an end, we were truly life-long friends. We can't recommend them and their beautiful venue enough! -

Have you wedding here. Simple as that!
The Barley Sheaf is unbelievable...the gorgeous grounds, the stunning rooms, the most delicious farm to table food. The staff truly go above and beyond, making our wedding day seamless for us, and very special for our guests. It was an absolute dream, and I want to return for every anniversary!! -

WOW, WOW, WOW. I had a small wedding of about 50 guests this past weekend, and I could hot have been happier. My friends and family flew in from all over the world, and the staff at the Inn welcomed us with open arms. From breakfast service to the ceremony set-up/take-down, every detail went smoothly thanks to the owners of the inn (who we got to know personally) and to Joliene, our coordinator. It is a GORGEOUS venue, and I can't wait to see the photos. All of the guests were impressed with their incredible rooms as well. Steam showers and tubs and fireplaces!? What's not to like? I HIGHLY recommend having your celebration here. The staff was friendly and professional. We had a marvelous weekend. -

I highly recommend The Inn at Barley Sheaf farm as a venue at which to hold a special event, or to escape for a quick get-away. I booked my May 2015 wedding at Barley Sheaf based upon the exquisite beauty of the grounds, the elegant nature of the buildings, and the professional, but warm demeanor of the entire team. Every aspect of the location is picturesque, and offers a spectacular backdrop for your day. Proprietors Mark and Deena, and their amazing team, are dedicated to making the planning go seamlessly; from soup to nuts. I was not hesitant to put my special day in the hands of Barley Sheaf, as their passion for what they do is evident. My interaction with everyone was nothing short of spectacular. Thank you Mark and Deena for such a wonderful experience! -

Words cannot describe the feeling of competency, professionalism and superb service from the entire staff at the Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm. They helped me plan a highly personal wedding, recommending outstanding vendors for hair, makeup, flowers, etc. The Inn and grounds are spectacular, you feel a sense of peace driving down the tree lined drive opening to gorgeous grounds. Guests could not believe the food, service and beautiful gardens. It felt like my wedding was in the country side of England (yet easily accessible on main road). Many guests stayed overnight and raved about the antiques and quality of care they received. It is an oasis! My photographs with the Inn at Barley Sheaf as the setting are stunning. I had no worries as the staff's attention to detail was impeccable. Hats off to the entire team for making us--and each one of our guests--feel welcomed and important. It was an outstanding celebration. -

You will be hard pressed to find a place that has more charm and magic than Barley Sheaf Farm. The rooms in both the Manor House and Barn are spectacular: incredibly creative yet historical without feeling staged or stuffy. Every one of our guests who stayed the night at one point or another found some exquisite detail worth exclaiming over. The grounds are equally special: beautifully tended without feeling manicured to death (not to mention the simply amazing pool area). We started inventing extra reasons to visit BSF during the planning process just to enjoy the space for one time more. BSF is ideal for small weddings because the setting is so intimate and detailed. However, it was also ideal for our ~200 person wedding. We put a big tent up in the field for the reception and the look of it only added to the beauty of the property.
From our initial meeting to the wedding itself, the entire staff at BSF, especially General Manager Fred Cresson, were personable, thoughtful, and flawlessly professional. Everyone seems to really like working at BSF and their pride over the property and their work shows. Kudos also to the head chef at BSF. He didn't even blink at our desire to do family-style serving for dinner and the quality of the food was truly top-notch and gourmet restaurant quality. I had multiple guests profess the food to be the best they had ever had at a wedding.
We never felt like just another wedding passing through at BSF; everyone we met with showed genuine interest in our ideas and in how to execute them best. We had a lot of fun planning our wedding with the BSF staff, which besides being a testament to the good people who work there, demonstrates their level of organization and professionalism because the details and how-to were always in order. We also had terrific luck with all of BSF's suggestions for vendors (especially Felix's Caketeria. AMAZING cake) and would happily recommend them all again.
Barley Sheaf Farm is a truly magical place and one we plan on returning to for our anniversaries and other special events. Anyone would be lucky to choose it as their venue. -

We had a beautiful outdoor fall wedding ceromony in the gardens of the inn. Our guests stayed in the historic inn. Fred, the coordinator with the Inn, was beyond helpful. His vision for the display of decorations, food, favors, and flow of the day were impeccable. Kristin was also a gem in her helpfulness. Our guests had the run of the Inn's grounds and were put immediately put to ease. We also used their chef for out reception dinner and coctail hour. The food was superb. Our pictures say it all. It was a beautiful setting: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150366563418105.35028 1.100395933104&type=1 -

We got married at the Barley Sheaf in July 2018 and we could not have been happier with the experience. The venue is gorgeous, both inside and outside. The food was delicious. We still talk about how good the peach and corn salad was! Several of our guests told us it was the best food they’d ever had at a wedding. Mark and Deena were great to work with - consistently friendly and competent. We really appreciated the personal touch they brought to the event. All of the staff we interacted with were professional and helpful. We had both our rehearsal dinner and wedding at the Barley Sheaf and booked rooms for Friday and Saturday night, which we recommend if it’s in your budget. It helped the wedding feel like a weekend getaway with our nearest and dearest. A great experience all-around. -

Amazing day despite the rain!!
From the moment we drove down the gorgeous tree-lined driveway, we knew Barley Sheaf Farm was the one. The grounds are absolutely stunning, but what really sets it apart is the amazing staff.
Even though there was unexpected rain on our wedding day, we still went ahead with an outdoor ceremony, and the staff made everyone completely forget about the rain. Once the ceremony ended, the venue owner was at the end of the aisle, smiling and ready with a towel to wipe us down and get us set for cocktail hour.
It’s the little things, like that moment and all the thoughtful interactions we had with different staff members, that made our day so special. Our guests still talk about how beautiful the venue was and how incredible the staff made everything feel. Thanks to Barley Sheaf, we have so many amazing memories to look back on. Highly recommend!-

A bit of background. My wife had us visiting every last venue under the sun in the greater (and I mean greater) NYC area. We saw wineries on the North Fork, beach-side venues on the Jersey Shore, and farm/farm-like spots in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. We happened to pass by the Barley Sheaf Farm on the way to another Bucks County place that we had seen online. After seeing that other spot, which wasn't for us, we made an impromptu visit to the Barley Sheaf Farm ("BSF").
Both of us were down at first sight. BSF and its grounds are beautiful. We loved the idea of having our family and close friends stay with us on site. The outdoor wedding, veranda cocktail hour, and 100-125 person barn reception were exactly what we were looking for. Joliene, the event planner at BSF, was solid -- friendly, totally straight/no-nonsense, and willing to work with whatever we wanted to do. And the price was comparatively reasonable. So we went for it.
It was awesome. The Inn and grounds, the staff, and most importantly, the event. The owners were so great to work with. Joliene was there to help us with everything. And we had an amazing time.
Lots of people told us that it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. I imagine that's an easy thing to say. That said, the people who said it to us seemed genuine about it. From my (biased) point of view, it was really well run, the food was great, the location couldn't be beat, and my wife and I and all of our friends and family had an amazing time. I think that's about all you can ask for. -
