Couples and up to 200 of their guests can celebrate at the Briar Patch Bed & Breakfast Inn. This farm encompasses 47 acres of land upon which couples can eat, drink, and be married.

Wedding ceremonies or receptions can be held in the Gold Fox Room, with impressive ceilings, crystal chandeliers, French doors, and stone fireplaces. Meanwhile, the Bronze Fox Room features dark wooden beams across vaulted ceilings, French doors, and a fireplace with a wooden mantel. Outdoor ceremony and reception locations include a gently-sloping hillside overlooking the Bull Run Mountains and a shaded space beneath a 200-year-old oak tree. The poolside deck also makes a fun reception or rehearsal dinner location for an outdoor affair.

Accommodation

This versatile estate enables you to surround yourself with your family and friends in its 12 bedrooms, which are spread across three buildings. The main house at this bed and breakfast has eight guest rooms in which couples and other overnight guests can stay. Each room is furnished with antiques and named for a flower to complement the flowers in the gardens surrounding the house. There are two bedrooms on the first floor, each with private baths, and six rooms on the second floor, each with a shared bath. For luxurious overnight accommodations, two rooms upstairs can be combined to form a suite with a private bath. A secluded, separate cottage, ideal for a honeymoon suite, comes with a fully-equipped kitchen, living room, dining area, bedroom, and bathroom. This bathroom includes both a tub and a shower. The newest addition to the property, the Chicken Coop building, offers three guest rooms which are each adorned with a private bath.

The perfect wedding weekend!

Briar Patch will always be such a special place to us because we not only had an amazing wedding but a total weekend takeover. Our entire family and bridal party stayed on site. Aside from the weekend rental, we ultimately decided to go with BP because the owners (Dan & Ellen) along with the venue itself had such a relaxed and flexible vibe which was exactly what we wanted for our weekend. Dan and Ellen were so easy to work with throughout the whole process and it was so fun getting to know them. They even brought our family fresh grown tomatoes from their garden during our dinner! Briar Patch is a secluded venue, with lots of space but still has the perks of being close to the cute little town of Middleburg and Dulles airport for anyone traveling long distances. We were able to arrive mid day Thursday and just hangout, get everything ready until Sunday late afternoon. Santiago was amazing - he helped set everything up and always had a smile on his face, willing to lift, carry, adjust anything we wanted. It was truly a beautiful weekend and we used the entire site to our advantage - all the houses, upper hill for ceremony site, reception hall, the pool for our after party etc. If you want an authentic, relaxed and beautiful wedding - BP is your place!

Fantastic Venue

Dan and Ellen at the Briar Patch were an absolute dream to work with. They say “your wedding, your way” and they really mean it. They helped us with every step along the way and we’re so flexible to accommodate what we wanted for our big day. The venue itself is so cozy and dreamy. My bridesmaids and I were able to stay in their Cottage the night before the wedding and we had an absolute blast! They had everything set up exactly how we wanted before we even came to help get decorations up. It is a great venue for the price as well, because for the one price you get the whole place-meaning if you’re planning to be outside and weather happens, there’s zero stress because the backup plan is just as beautiful and it’s completely included. We loved everything about our experience at the Briar Patch and can’t recommend it enough!

A perfect wedding weekend at Briar Patch B&B

Our son and daughter in law had their wedding at Briar Patch B&B. I cannot say enough good things about our experience. Dan and Ellen are amazing hosts. The entire bridal party stayed there and we were treated like royalty. The rooms, breakfast, pool, and most of all the wedding ceremony and reception areas were just wonderful-in fact they were perfect. Our guests had such a wondertime time. Thank you Briar Patch for a memory that will certainly last us all a lifetime.

Briar Patch is a great supportive venue if you are inviting children. They have a terrific side room that is close by and they also allow for caregivers to go to the inn as it gets later in the evening to a quieter space to help the children settle down for the evening. The bedroom floor plan is also convenient to monitor things as they children sleep while their parents continue to have a good time with the other adults at the reception. We have found Ellen and Dan and their entire team to be very supportive of our needs as caregivers as well. They have been great mentors for us in other ways too. This is a great family friendly venue in very beautiful country setting.

Beautiful venue, with many beautiful spots for your outdoor ceremony (and a lovely indoor space - "just in case"). Dan, Ellen and Henriette are delightful to work with and will make you feel right at home.
