The Barn At Willow Brook is the most perfectly, wonderful, gorgeous wedding venue with such stunning beauty inside and out! The owners, Betsy & Daryl, are incredibly warm, friendly, kind and caring and we fell in love with this venue as soon as we entered the barn doors the first time. After visiting many other venue options in the NoVa area prior to this barn, when we entered Willow Brook, we ended our search. We knew it was the one and instantly felt the “wedding vibes”. The barn is so gorgeous as is. They have beautiful chandeliers, sparkly twinkle lights, a greenery photo wall, bar cart, wine barrels, chiavari chairs & white foldable chairs, signage, and greenery garland that is already hanging places, which means we didn’t have to bring any of that in! We didn’t feel like we needed to dress the barn up much more because it was already so beautiful by itself. We did want a cross for our ceremony, and they brought in a beautiful wooden cross for us from Reston Bible Church, free of charge and free delivery/setup. This meant so much to us! We also brought our own mistletoe, Christmas trees, and winter wreaths to hang on the barn doors. The bridal suite and grooms quarters were unbelievable and so spacious!! Like nothing we saw at any other venue! My groom was so happy that he too, had a fun place to hang out, play shuffleboard, eat, drink etc. and us ladies had so much fun in our adorable suite! We got married in January, so our whole wedding was indoors, but we did have the outdoor fire pit on for guests and they enjoyed that. We did cocktail hour upstairs on the indoor balcony while our caterer flipped the space downstairs for the reception and it worked out really well! Seamless. We absolutely adored Betsy! She had the most speedy responses any time we reached out to her, which we greatly appreciated. The barn had amazing vendor recommendations as well. Betsy & Daryl went above and beyond and were so detail oriented. Even asking me what kind of coffee creamers I wanted in the bridal suite the morning-of. We received countless compliments on just how beautiful the venue was from our guests. People seemed just stunned. They truly created a story-book fairytale wedding for us and we are so grateful we found The Barn At Willow Brook! It was the perfect day and we wish we could experience it again and again! -

Elizabeth K. Sent on 06/11/2022The best venue and people we ever could have hoped for!
My husband and I were married 12.18.21 at Willow Brook and it was everything we could have asked for. The barn was gorgeous on its own and with just a little decoration made our Christmas wedding something people have talked about over and over since then. Also, having the option to stay the night in the bridal suite was absolutely priceless - so little stress morning-of having all my bridesmaids already in the same spot. The barn, unlike some others, is very elegant and doesn't feel like "a barn." It's great for all sorts of weddings! But there are a million other pretty barn venues in the Leesburg area - what really made Willow Brook stand out were the unbelievably amazing owners, Betsy and Darryl, that *literally* saved my wedding. Betsy was just a ray of sunshine after I landed without a venue after in the middle of COVID and spent the next year and a half making my experience the most amazing I could have asked for after so many setbacks in my wedding planning. She was so incredibly generous, responsive, kind, and accommodating, literally everything you could possibly want in a venue owner. Darryl was so helpful day of and even helped us with the trash at the end of the night. They are both just such lovely people and I would recommend Willow Brook just to have the opportunity to know them. A million stars/5. Definitely get married here. -

Brooke Sent on 07/24/2020Beautiful Venue, even more beautiful team!
My fiance and I toured the Barn at Willow Brook about 4 months after getting engaged, and we were totally in awe. We went home, talked about it that evening, and signed the contract two days later. Truly a stunning venue, and Betsy and her husband are truly just wonderful to work with. They immediately felt like family, and have been incredibly helpful with planning our wedding. From sharing their preferred vendor list, to additional family tours, to answering all of my questions...they have made wedding planning so much easier. I truly can not recommend Betsy and the entire team at the Barn at Willow Brook enough! -

I can't thank Willow Brook enough for such a perfect day. What a dream come true! We began planning our wedding right before the COVID pandemic and when it hit, it was stressful to say the least. Our family and friends were cautious and rightfully so. Throughout the year, Betsy, Daryl, and Kelly were a bright light of support, comfort and reassurance that our special day would be all that and more through what felt like a pretty dark period of uncertainty. I am so so grateful for the WB team and their graciousness through it all. Their beautiful venue was the perfect backdrop to our perfect day.
The girls and I spent the night in the bridal suite. We couldn't believe how cute it was! It provided the best getting-ready vibes the morning of the wedding. All I felt was zen and calmness that morning knowing the WB team had my back.
I am so grateful for The Barn at Willow Brook and the people behind it. My wedding could not have been more dreamy and more perfect. Thank you all so much for these beautiful memories! -

Even though the property is still being built, you can tell it’s going to be amazing when finished. Betsy and Daryl are so kind and have been amazing so far to work with. They’ve been incredibly responsive to emails and questions I’ve had, and were very thorough in explaining the vision for the property when we came to tour it. I am so excited to see everything when it’s finished, and even more excited to have chosen The Barn at Willow Brook for my wedding!The Barn at Willow Brook's reply:
Thank you Jen! We are so very excited to host you and Bryan for your most special day!!! We so appreciate all your excitement over Willow Brook and what a blessing and privilege that we get to walk alongside you as you plan your wedding day and look forward to seeing your amazing vision come to life!

OK, buckle up because this GLOWING review is about to tell-all.
The Barn at Willow Brook is one of the most stunning venues I have ever been in. It is the perfect rustic and romantic setting with modern amenities that keep it comfortable and beautiful. There are so many gorgeous views and opportunities for endless photos. The bridal suite and groom's quarters are unlike anything I've ever seen and help bring your dream day to the next level. As if the aesthetics aren't enough on their own, the owners Betsy and Daryl Madden are some of the most kind-hearted, genuine people I have ever known.
I should know, I married their son.
To back up, when Ryan Madden and I first got engaged, talk about the barn had just started a couple of months prior (we like to joke it was a convenient push for Ryan to propose). I remember after the proposal, Betsy pulled us aside and said "I'm so excited, but please don't feel like you have to get married at our barn if that's not your dream". That's how dedicated to perfecting your wedding day Betsy is - she sought out to create this dream venue for couples because she loves love. Without even knowing what it would look like, we were in from the beginning just based on the love and care we knew would be put into it.
Fast forward and holy cow, I knew it would be lovely (The Madden family is incredibly talented and each has an eye for detail) but HOLY COW, this place was unreal. All I can say is the beauty they crafted is a reflection of the love they poured into it.
When COVID-19 hit, we were one of the many couples put into a tough position of trying to navigate replanning our wedding day. In the end, we decided to cut back and plan a micro wedding and it honestly was the most perfect day either of us could have imagined. The Barn was the perfect backdrop and made it still feel like the day we had planned. We live-streamed our ceremony to include loved ones safely. Shoutout to Kelly, who at the last minute stepped up to help coordinate WHILE being my bridesmaid. She's the real MVP and she'll help make your day run SO smoothly. Having gone through the ups and downs of planning during a pandemic, I can confidently say our wedding day was perfect for us and I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you so much to Betsy and Daryl for helping make it so perfect -

We had our wedding at the Barn just a couple of weeks ago! It was an absolute dream come true for my hubby and I! We loved that it is a family owned venue and Betsy and her family cared so much about us- you could just tell by how excited they were for us and for our big day! During the prep and planning process leading up to the wedding, Betsy was consistently checking in with us to see how we were doing and if we needed any help with anything! She and her family took a true genuine interest in us and we felt right at home!
Everything is brand new here and absolutely gorgeous! Both the groom's and bridal suites are decorated just like pottery barn magazine-so beautiful! We loved getting ready here and Kelly, their daughter, was our on-site coordinator and she did a phenomenal job with helping us get through the day with such ease so that we could really enjoy it! I would highly recommend the Willow Brook barn to any couple who is looking to have a stunning, take-your-breath-away wedding!! Thank you Willow Brook family for making this a beautiful day that we will always remember!!! -

I really can't gush enough about this experience! My husband and I were lucky enough to be one of the first weddings at this venue in October 2019. Everything is brand new and stunning! I had been searching for my dream venue, and hadn't found anything in the area that met my needs. One thing that was very important to me was the bridal suite. My bridal party from out of state so I really wanted somewhere my bridesmaids and I could stay onsite and get ready. The bridal suite was perfect! We were so comfortable there and had so much fun the night before. And it was the perfect spot to get ready in the morning!
Guests were obsessed with this space! It was so beautiful all by itself it barely needed any additional decor. I'm not really a "barn" person, but this place is so elegantly done, it went perfect with my modern theme. There were plenty of places for people to congregate after dinner, the dance floor, balcony and outdoor space were my favorites. Everything went so smoothly on the day, it was almost dream-like. Thank you so much to Betsy and Daryl for taking such good care of us, we love you! -

Gloria B. Sent on 05/28/2020Stunning venue, excellent service!
I can't say enough about Betsy! She is AWESOME! At a time when the world is in chaos because of COVID and wedding planning is as stressful as it can get, Betsy was a lifesaver. She was very responsive to calls and emails and extremely generous in the level of service she provided. Working with her made my day everything I had imagined. The process was so easy and convenient. No complaints at all. The venue is stunning - inside and out! Very little decor needs to be brought in because the venue shows well on its own. The bridal suite is nothing like I've ever seen, with all of the amenities you could want. I'm so happy that I had the my wedding at the Barn at Willow Brook! -

Carrie K. Sent on 10/19/2019You have to see this place!
We have included the Willow Brook family as one of own and had a wonderful and blissful time planning, organizing, working with, and celebrating along side them all for our special day. They made each step so easy and as relaxing as it could be! The amenities, facilities, and equipment are breathtaking!
Kelly, their day of coordinator, handled the schedule with professionalism and grace at each step and was proactive in making the best decisions. Our day honestly went off without a glitch and each vendor and guest was so happy with their experience.
My husband and I full heartedly recommend using this venue, their team, and treating yourself to the whole weekend experience onsite! -

Brittany Sent on 10/27/2020The most magical place in the world
If you are looking for the most beautiful barn this is the place to go. We booked The Barn at Willow Brook before it was even done being built. The vision this family had has been completely brought to life and more. Our wedding guests continue to be in awe of how beautiful this venue is and we as a couple our so thankful to forever be part of the Willow Brook Family.
Kelly WB Coordinator
Talk about a life saver! Questions that come up during regular wedding things one cannot ever guess but during a pandemic! Kelly made me feel calm throughout it all. She was able to answer all questions and responds to email so quick! On the day of the wedding she handled more than we will ever know and our day went off without a hitch. You literally cannot ask for a better person to help you along the way with this process and really make you feel that there isnt anything to worry about.
