Black Horse Manor

A perfect day! Absolutely nothing that I would change! Lynn, the Inn owner and Debbie her manager were amazing and took care of everything, they were always one step ahead of me! The Inn is very friendly and does not have a stuffy feel, the staff is very welcoming and accommodating! Our daughters wedding was perfect in every way, weather, venue, staff, breakfast and accommodations!👰🏼🤵🏼🍾❤️

From our first visit to BHI we fell in love with the place. Since day one Lynn, Debby and her Staff were very helpful and professional. The organization and attention to details is exceptional, which is essential when planning a wedding. They have thought about every detail in advance; everything runs very smoothly. Our closest family and friends loved being able to be together the whole weekend, which was a big deal for us since we had so many of them coming from out of town. They loved eating breakfast together and the food was delicious. As they have said, they will remember this weekend experience forever. Our wedding guests loved the venue and being able to walk around the property grounds. They went the extra mile and surprised us with a sparkler exit. Highly recommend this venue and the wedding weekend family experience.

I absolutely loved my wedding at the Black Horse Inn! Lynn and Joyce were incredibly helpful and it was such a magical weekend. All of my guests ranted and raved for weeks after the event on how much fun they had and how beautiful the venue was. I couldn't imagine a more perfect wedding day for myself or my new husband. We are so happy we chose the Black Horse Inn!

Our experience at the Black Horse Inn was nothing short of amazing. The Inn and grounds are beautiful, the staff welcoming and attentive, and the venue unique and intimate. We would not change a thing about our wedding or our experience at BHI - so happy with everything!

My husband and I cannot thank Lynn and Kathi at the Black Horse Inn enough for an AMAZING weekend. We had an event on the Saturday night and a number of our group stayed at the Inn. The event went perfectly and everyone had a wonderful time. The ballroom was stunning-- so warm and elegant and perfect for a group that size (100). The Inn stay was divine (I am definitely coming back and staying in Great Expectations room, esp since I didn't get to use the tub!) and breakfast was delicious. Also, I cannot say enough about Lynn and Kathi's generous welcome to all of our guests throughout (and even before) the weekend, and their attention to detail throughout the planning process. They both have the unique ability to be very warm, welcoming, and fun, but at the same time extremely professional and detail-oriented. We so appreciate the combination of those qualities and do not think they exist in too many places. We had a feeling the Black Horse was unique and special, and it truly is. It is a gorgeous setting and a very warm and welcoming place. When we first met Lynn and Kathi to talk about doing our event at the Black Horse, we said we wanted a FUN PARTY--and we could not have asked for more. I am happy to provide my wonderful experience with the Black Horse to any prospective clients who might want to talk to a live person.

We held our Wedding Weekend at Black Horse Inn - rehearsal dinner, ceremony & reception, and Sunday brunch. It was perfect! Lynn and Kathi were both fantastic throughout the planning process, answering my questions quickly and coordinating with my vendors. During our weekend event, every detail was taken care of by their team and my family and friends felt so welcomed and at home staying at the inn. Kathi in particular was SO wonderful, and took great care to help with any and everything we could think of. On our wedding day, she took great care of me and made sure that I always had everything I needed, helped find people around the property, and of course helped get my group arranged and down the aisle in one piece. I felt completely at ease when the time came for the ceremony because I knew that Kathi and Lynn had everything under control. The venue itself is GORGEOUS, a perfect place for a great weekend. I would recommend that you let your vendors know (especially those coming from the DC area) that there is sometimes traffic on 66 coming out to the venue, as a couple of my vendors were just a touch late due to traffic (but certainly not so late that they missed anything or anyone had to scramble). In our group staying at the inn were 5 children (including 1 toddler), who all loved playing around the patio and grounds, and they all felt welcomed and encouraged to enjoy themselves all weekend. The banquet hall is exquisite and classy, my guests were all very impressed with the look and feel. It is beautiful without feeling overbearing and stuffy. The price value for our wedding weekend was very reasonable, especially when you factor in the very personalized and truthfully caring service you will receive during your stay. Overall, I DEFINITELY recommend Black Horse Inn for your wedding. The entire experience is fantastic and I wish I could go back and live it again and again. The venue and grounds are beautiful, and the service here is unparalleled.

The Perfect Wedding Words cannot adequately describe how incredible this venue, Inn and staff are. The black horse inn provides everything you could possibly be looking for in a wedding reception venue. The setting, located on a rolling green pasture horse farm, was fantastic, genuine, engaging, and above all, absolutely beautiful. The atmosphere was extraordinarily tasteful, yet comfortable. My daughter and her fiancé wanted a venue that offered both indoors and out and The Black Horse inn fit the bill perfectly. Lynn, the Inns owner, was a delight to work with. She has been doing weddings as a career for a long time and had every detail in place, timing for the whole celebration was perfect ---- and she did the work, the family and bridal party just had to show up!!!!! She was also so flexible (we had a photo booth and a video drone and many other little requests) and she treated the whole group as if we were the only thing on her mind. She is outstanding in her field! The gorgeous outdoor setting provided an incredible backdrop for the photos (by Two Spoons photography and SVO media) and video. There are horses wondering the grounds, a coy pond, gazebos, various patios, a horse barn and beautiful green pastures and fences. This venue offered a very unique experience for the family and bridal party. On the property is a beautifully appointed Inn with 8 or 9 bedrooms and many eating sitting and gathering rooms. We were given the option to rent it starting Friday and leaving Sunday with the ceremony being held Saturday evening. We are so glad we decided to take this package as it proved to be incredibly fun, relaxing and stress free because everything was there with us, the staff took care of everything and the group got to spend time together. What a wonderful way to spend the day before and after a wedding. We were all in total bliss. The wedding was held on the grounds with a beautiful gazebo for the bride and groom, it was picture perfect. The Gilded Fox was where we held the reception, just a minute stroll (past the horse barn) to the elegant reception hall. It is an outstanding hall with beautiful floors, huge ceilings, beautiful patios and porches and is well appointed. It is truly a breathtaking place to hold a reception. The property, reception hall and Inn are breathtaking enough but when you add the amazing Black Horse Inn staff..it is sheer perfection! Kathy, the property manager was a true gift. She is an amazing organizer, manager, Inn Keeper, cook, hostess, reception manager and even more, whatever we needed, she had it-immediately. She knew all of the bridal party and family names seemingly before we even arrived. She was checking on us with just the right amount of care and concern, making sure we were always comfortable. She did an outstanding job and we are forever grateful at how wonderful she made our weekend. Our guests are still talking about how it was the most spectacular wedding they have ever attended. You will not find another venue more perfect than The Black Horse Inn. the attention to every detail and the way they genuinely care for their clients and guests is unmatched! We are so delighted to have found such an amazing place and incredible people. My daughters wedding was PERFECTION – Thank you to all at the Black Horse Inn who made this couples dream a reality.

Mother of the bride: This was the ultimate place to have a wedding. Every last detail was perfect. Lynn-the owner, knows this rodeo by heart!!!!! We could not have asked for a better venue or proprietor. The all inclusive aspect made for a relaxed and fun weekend - no stress!!!!! We brought all our decorations, clothing, alchohol etc on thursday, they took care of putting it all in the right places and then we showed up on friday with our family and bridal party and didn't have a thing to worry about after that. They take care of EVERYTHING!!!!! Lynn, the proprietor, organized a schedule for the rehearsal, the table settings, the introductions, the photographer - she didn't miss one detail. We were left with nothing to do but enjoy our glorious day(weeekend) with family and friends. The venue is gorgeous and relaxed - the inn is quaint, clean and the views are breathtaking. The staff is extremely knowledgable, helpful and friendly. I am so happy that we made the absolute best choice when we selected the Black Horse Inn for our daughters wedding. All our guests were in awe-our photographer was in her glory with all the photo opportunities such as....the groomsmen in front of the barn door, the bride and groom with the horses, beautifull fences, endless green fields and blue skies. The reception hall is beautiful, and just a quick walk from the inn. A special nod to the Inn's manager-Kathy, who was outstanding. Upon arriving, she knew all the family and bridal parties names, what rooms they were staying in, what they needed even before they did. She also prepared our lovely tea, and two breakfasts. She is kind, sweet, intelligent and exels at her job. We couldn't have been more pleased to be so well cared for during the weekend wedding. If you are looking for perfection in a rustic yet elegant setting for your wedding, you have found it with the Black Horse Inn. Well remember this day forever, thank you to all of you at the Inn for the wedding of the century!

Black Horse Inn is really a wonderful place. The rural setting is absolutely gorgeous, the grounds are beautiful, the Inn itself is marvelous, with beautifully appointed rooms, and the owner and Innkeeper are terrific – warm, welcoming and so good at what they do! My husband I were recently married there, and we couldn’t have found a better place. Lynn and Kathi went out of their way to make sure not only that everything was perfect for us, but that we felt right at home. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

We were married in October 2014 at the Black Horse Inn. We reserved the Inn for our date about a year in advance for a 2-day wedding event and peppered Lynn and her staff with questions throughout the year. She was unceasingly cheerful (and helpful) in her correspondence with us, and on our behalf to various vendors. She responds to emails within 24 hours, and acted as an effective day-of coordinator for both of our events. In terms of logistics, throughout the weekend, she and her team consistently went above and beyond what was detailed in our contract. For example, they poured drinks and contributed additional decorations for our first event. For our second event, when our wedding ceremony went 45 minutes long, they communicated by walkie-talkie with our vendors and ensured that the rest of the evening went smoothly, helping us shift the timing of various events in our reception schedule. She also approved our outside caterer as a “preferred caterer” for the venue, reducing our catering cost substantially. She’s also been great after the wedding. She mailed us all of the things that we forgot at the venue, including a 10lb box of wedding favors. In addition, she personally returned a keg for us to a town 45 minutes away when we ran out of space in our vehicles. Finally, the venue itself is stunningly gorgeous inside and out. Our photographers commented on several occasions how much they enjoyed photographing us there. We reserved the entire house for the weekend for our wedding party and family. We highly recommend this, as we felt it led to a more intimate event. The rooms are beautiful, and Lynn is flexible on adding additional guests on cots, even on late notice (everyone we invited wanted to stay at the inn). We looked at a number of venues in the DC / Northern Virginia area, and found this venue to be the best value for its cost. They are also much more flexible on their choice of preferred vendors. For example, at one other venue in DC, we found out that the cost of renting a tent would have doubled the not-insignificant cost of the venue. Holistically, we would absolutely choose this wedding venue again.

We had our wedding at the black horse inn. It was such a great experience from day one. Lynn was so easy to work with and always available. She put all your fears to rest! The venue is gorgeous and we had the wedding we imagined. Staff at the inn are terrific. Can't say enough positives! Would highly recommend!

Our wedding at the Black Horse Inn was all we could have ever dreamed of. Lynn and Kathi were there for our every need during the weekend. Lynn also made the planning process very clear and straightforward, which was very helpful since we were planning from out of town. I cannot recommend this beautiful venue enough!

Thank you Lynn and everyone at the Black Horse Inn for welcoming us during our wedding weekend. Everyone was so welcoming and very helpful. From our first day at the Inn for the Rehearsal dinner to our check out Lynn was there to ensure that everything was in order and all her guest were comfortable. Lynn was easily accessible and the venue was amazing. The views and set up for everything was just breathtaking. Couldn't have asked for a much more beautiful venue and amazing owner to host our wedding. Thank you again Lynn and everyone at the Black Horse Inn, we will never forget the weekend.

We visited many venues before we were lucky enough to find the Black Horse Inn. The minute we walked through the door and met Lynn, my daughter and son in law knew this was the place for their wedding. Lynn was so wonderful, not to mention organized, and left nothing to chance throughout the whole process. We didn't hire a wedding coordinator because she is so amazing and thinks of everything! Her plan is so well executed from the time you sign the contract until your special day. We thoroughly enjoyed being able to have the Inn and the grounds for the whole weekend. We were greeted with a beautiful welcome tea, etc. our guests all loved the beautifully appointed rooms we were able to enjoy without leaving the property. That was much more important than we could have ever imagined. The staff prepared a beautiful breakfast each morning and took care of our every need. After the wedding, I asked my daughter if she would have changed anything,.. She said no, it was her fairy tale wedding. Priceless. Thank you Lynn and the Black Horse Inn staff for making our dreams come true.

What an amazing venue to host your baby girls wedding to the man of her dreams. From the moment we arrived at the Black horse Inn on Friday we felt the DC tension release and were able to sit back and relax. The staff at the Black Horse Inn made sure that every detail was taken care of so that the weekend would be relaxing and we could focus on celebrating the bride and groom. The planning was extremely easy with Lynn from day one and she was so helpful with hints and ideas to make the event perfect. Aside from the fantastic service, having the entire event in one place was amazing - it enabled us to truly enjoy the entire weekend celebration. We put the wedding party up in the main house and used the Hunt Box for us as well as a dressing area for the girls the day of the wedding which proved to be invaluable. At every turn the staff at the Black Horse would surprise us with Champagne or fresh baked cookies or sneak into our rooms when we were busy to ensure everything was perfect - which it always was. I have 5 children and this was the youngest daughters wedding and by far the most relaxed I've felt at any of them and the most I've been able to enjoy the events. Thank you Black Horse Inn for giving us a memory that will last a lifetime.

The Blackhorse Inn was the perfect venue for our daughter's dream wedding. Lynn and her staff went out of their way to make sure that our guests staying at the inn felt "at home" from the moment they arrived. The Inn breakfasts were delicious and the presentation was exquisite. The rooms were very comfortable and the inn's decor is first-class, and restful. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, and the horses added to the charm as they posed for pictures. The hall sparkled with glamor, and the tented patio for the rehearsal dinner and cocktail hour, complete with chandelier, was breathtaking. Best of all, Lynn and her staff made sure that every detail was taken care of, so that we could all enjoy the day. Our guests all commented on the beauty and sense of relaxed fun they had at the wedding. When we packed up on Sunday, it felt like we were saying goodbye to family. It is with heartfelt joy that we recommend The Blackhorse Inn as the perfect wedding venue.

This was a fabulous venue. We planned our whole wedding in about 6 mo and were lucky to find the site with such short notice. To make it better we had our wedding on a Friday and the price was unbeatable! We had access to the whole house and the tented patio, fully equipped with tent, chairs and tables for no extra charge. The staff were very professional and returned calls within hours. The day of we were allowed in early to the bridal suite. The site is hidden away so it is very private just be sure to tell guests not to use GPS because it takes them down a private road. The directions on the website are easy to follow and get you to the right place. This venue was beautiful in May when we had our ceremony on the lawn next to the tent and the tent had walls that were removable in case of rain which we were lucky enough to not have!

I got married two weeks ago at the Black Horse Inn, and it truly was the perfect venue for us. It was the very first venue we looked at in person, and we fell in love instantly. Lynn was a fantastic help, and really, truly knows her way around event planning. She met with us several times over the year leading up to the wedding, and each time was very friendly, informative, and excited to help. Her enthusiasm, coupled with her 20 years' experience, really drove home the fact that we'd made the right decision. The venue itself is gorgeous - we visited in the summer, and planned an early Spring wedding. Because of the seasonal difference and the unusually chilly weather at the end of March, we didn't have quite as many flowers on the grounds as we hoped, but I was happily surprised to see that it didn't make any difference - the whole place was beautiful anyway. The wedding packages are a little pricey, but considering everything they include, they're definitely worth it. Also, because Lynn has been in the wedding industry for so long, she has a lengthy, reliable list of recommended vendors for every part of the wedding, which is extraordinarily helpful, particularly for a slightly remote locale. The bed and breakfast is quaint, private, and homey. It's very clean and well-kept. My bridesmaids and I used the Hunt Box, by the stables, as the bridal suite/bridal party headquarters, and loved it. The Gilded Fox (the reception hall) was perfect for our wedding of 115 people - I love the fireplace, the wood floors, and the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the fields. Our wedding ceremony actually got rained out, and I was very impressed by the ease with which Lynn launched into Plan B hours before the start time, which was to hold the ceremony in the reception hall. Within 2 hours, the staff had moved all the tables closer to the walls, set up ceremony seating, and rearranged everything. It looked perfect, and our guests said they thought the Plan B was even nicer than having it outside would have been! I could go on and on and on about how wonderful Lynn, as well as every other BHI staff member, was, and how beautiful and perfect the place was, but the only way to truly appreciate it is to see it for yourself. As you can tell though, I have to say that the Black Horse Inn really helped make my wedding day perfect, and I will always be grateful for that.

Our daughter’s wedding reception at the Black Horse Inn / Gilded Fox was spectacular! From planning to execution, Lynn and her staff were an absolute pleasure to work with and eager to make the reception one that would be a lifetime memory. The Black Horse Inn certainly delivered on everything promised. It’s evident that everyone involved was focused on an excellent customer experience. Lynn and her staff get our highest recommendation.

The Black Horse Inn was the absolute best decision my husband and I made throughout our wedding planning process. Lynn and Stephanie are very professional and incredibly helpful--throughout the planning process and especially during the weekend itself. We fell in love with grounds the first time we visited, and after frequent correspondence with Stephanie who made us feel so comfortable and excited about the Inn, we knew there was no place else we wanted to go. They were always very responsive with all of my questions and prepared a very comprehensive agenda for the entire weekend. Our family arrived on Friday afternoon to settle into their lovely rooms and were greeted with a spread of light appetizers and drinks. After our rehearsal at a local church, we had a beautiful rehearsal dinner on the Gilded Fox patio which was tented and absolutely breathtaking. The day of the wedding was more than I could have imagined. Breakfast was amazing and Lynn and Stephanie were incredibly attentive to our families and the entire wedding party throughout the day. The reception itself was beyond beautiful and EVERYONE went on and on about how much fun they had. Two weeks later we are still getting notes and calls about how beautiful, meaningful, and fun our wedding was, and that was largely attributed to the wonderful people at the Black Horse. I highly highly recommend this venue. Nothing in the area compares.

Never in my imagination would I have thought a real wedding could be so like a fairytale, even to the very end after the sparkler send-off when my daughter and her new husband walked off into the night under a clear half moon! The old elegant Inn with up to 10 rooms where the families can stay for the wedding weekend makes it easier to get to know each other and to get last minute things done. The separate reception site a few feet from the Inn is perfect and convenient. It is warm and inviting without being ostentatious. And of all the attractions at the Black Horse Inn, the best find is the owner who also serves as the wedding coordinator (thus saving money that can be used elsewhere) and her very efficient, friendly staff who go out of their way to make your day your very own. Whether you are a horse lover or not, the horses in the background add so much to the day.

My husband and I had our wedding at the Black Horse Inn in late October 2012. The weather on the big day was spectacular and all the fall colors were extremely vibrant. We could not have asked for a more picturesque setting. We booked the entire inn for the whole weekend, so we were able to have our immediate family stay in all the wonderful rooms. Additionally, we had the Best Man stay in the Fox and the Grape downstairs and the Maid of Honor stay in the Hunt Box out by the stables. On the Saturday, all the men got ready in the Fox and the Grape and the ladies in the Hunt Box. It was extremely convenient to have such nice amenities. Since we had beautiful weather on the big day, we had our ceremony outside in the garden area. The chairs were arranged beautifully for our 127 person wedding. We hired a horse and carriage for the arrival of the bride and the bride and groom departure. Much thanks to Harmon's Carriages for the beautiful horse and carriage. Following the ceremony, we enjoyed a cocktail hour at a very cute little courtyard that is near the ballroom. It was the perfect setting for everyone to socialize and enjoy the nice weather, not to mention the cocktails! For our reception, we hired a 7 piece band (Rollex Band) that was absolutely amazing. They were so much fun and really kept the dance floor jam packed until the end of the night. We had a total of 12 tables and a sweetheart table and still had enough room for a good size dance floor. The tables that the BHI provides are beautiful with white linens and gold chairs. They can accommodate up to 12 people per table, but I'd recommend 10 or 11. The patio of the Gilded Fox was also a fantastic setting to get out and enjoy the fresh air away from the music. We had our coffee service as well as chocolate fountain set up on the patio and it worked out wonderfully. All in all, the Black Horse Inn was the PERFECT place for our wedding. Lynn and the rest of the staff were so nice to work with and they truly made my entire wedding weekend one for the memory books. I would highly recommend the Black Horse Inn for all you future brides!

My wife and I were married just this past Saturday at the Black Horse Inn located in Warrenton, VA. The setting there is absolutley beautiful and the staff is amazing. I am a bit of a worrier and Lynn is so easy to get in touch with and easy to work with that it made our wedding day wonderful. We were engaged in August and married in November and Lynn was amazing. We had almost everything secured in a matter of days after meeting her and she was able to get us in touch with photographers and a bakery. We had all of our plans firm and ready to go in a matter of weeks, not months! The property is beautiful and the history of the Inn is incredible as well. The Inn is perfect for wedding but also for a get away with a loved one. We had a small intimate wedding that was facilitated by Lynn and it was fantastic, I have seen blogs and photos of much larger events held at the Black Horse and even though ours was a small wedding she was extremely attentive to us! I will be indebted to Lynn as long as I live! Who knew weddings could be this easy!!!

We were so pleased that we had chosen the Black Horse Inn for our daughter's wedding! It was the most beautiful location for a late fall event --- the color was lovely and it was still warm enough to have the ceremony and cocktail hour outdoors. In addition, the reception hall is both beautiful and very elegant. Finally, Lynn and her staff were there to accommodate all of our guests' needs in the most gracious way, and to ensure that everything went smoothly on the wedding day, as well as the days before and after. The wedding was perfect and all we could have asked for! Thank you, Black Horse Inn!

My husband and I really had the picture perfect wedding at the Black Horse Inn! From beginning to end, it was a great experience working with the owner, Lynn, and her staff. To start, my husband and I fell in love with this place immediately when we toured the venue. It was exactly what we were looking for and we knew that we wanted to have our wedding here after seeing it in person. The pictures on their website really do not do it justice. This historic inn and its setting are just gorgeous - from each room being unique and having its own character and charm, to the beautiful Gilded Fox reception ballroom, to the peaceful surroundings and friendly horses. One of the things that we really loved about this venue was that it had so many different areas around the property for various events of the wedding that it gave us multiple options on how to do things, and no option was less desirable than the next. We rented the entire Black Horse Inn from Friday through Sunday. All of our family and wedding party that stayed on-site with us were really impressed and loved the venue as well. We pretty much had full access to the entire Inn like it was our own home for the weekend. It was a very homey and cozy place for us all to be together during the weekend and enjoy one another’s company. The breakfasts that were provided by the Inn were also very hearty and tasty. Lynn was a pleasure to work with. She was always very helpful and responsive to my questions and concerns, and her staff was equally attentive. When our officiator got lost during the wedding rehearsal, Lynn took over and made sure that the rehearsal was a productive one. On the wedding day, Lynn was our day-of coordinator and did an excellent job and we really did not have to worry about a thing. She made it very easy and I have to say that our wedding went as smooth and well as we ever could have hoped for. She even helped to lure her three horses over to the fence so the guests could feed/touch them! It was a truly perfect wedding and my only wish was that the day could’ve lasted even longer! The Black Horse Inn gave us unforgettable memories and will always hold a special place in our hearts!

I had the pleasure of being the best man for my sister;s wedding held at The Black Horse Inn in Warrenton, VA. All I can say from the moment I laid eyes on the venue, that this was the perfect place for her to get married. A true form of artwork!!!!

Services Used: Ceremony & Reception Venue Wow!!! Where do I even begin! I actually was looking for a rating category higher than 5 stars...perhaps 10 stars!!! The Black Horse Inn without a doubt was absolutely the finest. I couldn't have even imagined the feeling that we felt from the moment we first saw the beautiful estate. It was perfectly breathtaking. I knew from that moment driving past the regal Inn and taking in all of the surrounding beauty of the lush pastures and horses, picture perfect landscaping, and abundant charm of stone terraces, gazebos, fountains, and so much more that this was the place. We booked the same day! Lynn Pirozzoli is the fabulous owner of this beautiful estate. She is so multi-talented and works closely with her fantastic staff to make sure your wedding plans and wedding day are perfect and worry free. It was so nice to work with such an attentive, kind and caring owner, who truly made sure all of your needs were met. The wedding was held on one of the charming terraces surrounded by mini ponds and a quaint little bridge, and the reception was held in the beautiful Gilded Fox reception area and was absolutely amazing. We have heard from many of the guests on how perfect and beautiful the wedding and reception were, and I couldn't be more happy and proud that we found this amazing venue and many thanks go out to Lynn and her staff for making us feel more like family than guests! P.S. My wife and I also had the pleasure of spending two nights in the Hunt Box Suite. It was filled with all of the amenities of home and very relaxing and spacious, and the breakfast on both mornings was delicious. Loved the Iced Grapes! If you're looking for the perfect venue for your wedding and reception or are in need of a relaxing break at a superior Bed and Breakfast...look no more. You will surely find this and more at The Black Horse Inn. Thanks again to you, Lynn and your wonderful staff. You all are the best! Sincerely Steven McDonough

If I were able to rate it higher than five stars, I would! We had both our ceremony and reception at the Inn and had the entire, beautiful location booked (including all the guest rooms) for the entire weekend. Having the option of our closest friends and family stay there with us was one of the things that made it a truly special event. The weekend started Friday evening with a fun wedding rehearsal, which Lynn (the owner) and her staff attended. It was clear from the start that they were absolutely fantastic, experienced professionals who worked patiently with our group and kept us on schedule (not an easy feat!). Our wedding ceremony took place in front of the gorgeous gazebo, with the tall old trees (full of lively chirping birds) as a backdrop. Lynn and her staff coordinated the seating of the families and timing of the wedding party and myself with perfect precision and everything went off without any glitches! All of the facilities are simply stunning, day or night! I can't say enough about how helpful and attentive Lynn and her staff was. Special kudos go to Joyce, who, in the midst of EVERYTHING else we had going on, remembered to deliver a special note from me to my parents' guestroom during the reception so they would receive it at the end of the evening. From our first meeting with Lynn until it was all over, she was a fantastic resource and one of the most organized people I've ever worked with. They took care of all the details, including contacting all of my vendors so I didn't have to worry about any of it on the day of the wedding! It has now been about three months since the wedding and people are still talking about how wonderful the Inn was...including, but not limited to, the delicious breakfasts, the comfy sitting areas where guests could just sit and talk, the friendly, attentive staff, and the beautiful decor and landscape. I would highly recommend the Black Horse Inn if you are looking for a truly special (and not just a cookie-cutter) wedding experience!

The property was beautiful, and the wedding was run like clockwork. Owner was everywhere to make sure things went smoothly. Concerns were addressed immediately. People were very friendly.

Our daughter's wedding was September 22, 2012 at Black Horse Inn, and the wedding of her dreams. The beautiful scenery and setting, along with Lynn's hospitality and warmth and the staff's professionalism and efficiency provided an unforgettable weekend. Rain was threatening, but Lynn had contingency plans in place. Luckily, the rain passed, and we were able to have the ceremony outdoors under the gazebo. Our reception in the ballroom was elegant yet comfortable. Our family loved staying at the Inn for the weekend in beautifully decorated rooms with all the modern amenities. We especially loved the robes! Breakfasts were delicious! Beautiful weekend spent celebrating in the most perfect place.

Thanks to Lynn, Joyce and Carrie at the Black Horse Inn, our wedding went off without a single problem. They were extremely helpful, organized and incredibly friendly to every one of our guests. We rented the venue for the whole weekend and it was just simply amazing! This is THE PLACE to book for your wedding. From the beginning, they worked with us in every way, from preferred vendor lists up to the last detail of the wedding. They really take the stress off of the bride and groom, which makes for a beautiful wedding day that we could both enjoy. Even the horses on the property got to have their photos taken with us, which really just made our day even more special. With the scenery of the Black Horse Inn, your wedding photos will be absolutely breathtaking! We cannot say enough of wonderful comments about this venue or Lynn and her staff. Thank you all so much for making our wedding perfect!

Our wedding at the Black Horse Inn could not have gone better. We were able to secure the whole property from Friday through Sunday, which made a huge difference when compared to other venues expecting you to rush in and rush out so they can get the next wedding done. The Inn was personal and charming, and it welcomed all our family wholeheartedly. Its setting can only be described as idylic, and its history makes it even more attractive. For these key reasons, along with its fabulous onsite reception facilities, and amazing staff, it provides what I believe to be the best combination of amenities available. Lynn is one of the most amazing event professionals I have ever worked with, and I have worked with many different vendors and locations planning events for my company. She is attentive and focused on every last detail. She seamlessly coordinates with your vendors, so even when there could be inclement weather, a guest who has trouble moving around the property, a special request from an inn guest, or any other issues that may arise, they are handled quickly and, most importantly, without adding to the stress of an already busy day. It turns out we didn't need any contingency plans, as the weather was a perfect fall day, there was ample care given to everything from guest movement around the property and the overall schedule, to bathroom and room accessibility for guests with special needs. We have looked back and asked if there were any improvements we could envision, but honestly can find none. Our wedding weekend was perfect and stress-free. Anyone considering this venue can feel confident that their event will achieve equal perfection. It is simply the choice for the wedding of your dreams.

Wow!!! Where do I even begin! I actually was looking for a rating category higher than 5 stars...perhaps 10 stars!!! The Black Horse Inn without a doubt was absolutely the finest. I couldn't have even imagined the feeling that we felt from the moment we first saw the beautiful estate. It was perfectly breathtaking. I knew from that moment driving past the regal Inn and taking in all of the surrounding beauty of the lush pastures and horses, picture perfect landscaping, and abundant charm of stone terraces, gazebos, fountains, and so much more that this was the place. We booked the same day! Lynn Pirozzoli is the fabulous owner of this beautiful estate. She is so multi-talented and works closely with her fantastic staff to make sure your wedding plans and wedding day are perfect and worry free. It was so nice to work with such an attentive, kind and caring owner, who truly made sure all of your needs were met. The wedding was held on one of the charming terraces surrounded by mini ponds and a quaint little bridge, and the reception was held in the beautiful Gilded Fox reception area and was absolutely amazing. We have heard from many of the guests on how perfect and beautiful the wedding and reception were, and I couldn't be more happy and proud that we found this amazing venue and many thanks go out to Lynn and her staff for making us feel more like family than guests! P.S. I also had the pleasure of spending two nights in the Hunt Box Suite. It was filled with all of the amenities of home and very relaxing and spacious, and the breakfast on both mornings was delicious. Loved the Iced Grapes! If you're looking for the perfect venue for your wedding and reception or are in need of a relaxing break at a superior Bed and Breakfast...look no more. You will surely find this and more at The Black Horse Inn. Thanks again to you, Lynn and your wonderful staff. You all are the best! Sincerely Linda McDonough

This is the best wedding venue I have ever been to. And I am not just saying this because this is where I had my wedding last week. The grounds are magnificent, the reception area is magical, and the owner Lynn is a gem. She makes sure your wedding is planned so perfectly, you would think you were Cinderella by the end of the evening being whisked away by your prince. And that's just the wedding. My family couldn't have been more pleased staying in the inn after the wedding. The inn has so much history and is so perfect in its own right. The staff is perfect and your morning breakfast is cooked by the best of the best.

I was married at the Black Horse Inn on November 12, 2011. If I were able to rate it higher than five stars, I would! We had both our ceremony and reception at the Inn and had the entire, beautiful location booked (including all the guest rooms) for the entire weekend. Having the option of our closest friends and family stay there with us was one of the things that made it a truly special event. The weekend started Friday evening with a fun wedding rehearsal, which Lynn (the owner) and her staff attended. It was clear from the start that they were absolutely fantastic, experienced professionals who worked patiently with our group and kept us on schedule (not an easy feat!). Our wedding ceremony took place in front of the gorgeous gazebo, with the tall old trees (full of lively chirping birds) as a backdrop. Lynn and her staff coordinated the seating of the families and timing of the wedding party and myself with perfect precision and everything went off without any glitches! After the ceremony, all the guests moved to the tented patio for the cocktail hour while we took pictures and then it was on to the Gilded Fox (the Inn's reception hall) for the reception, dinner, and dancing! All of the facilities are simply stunning, day or night! I can't say enough about how helpful and attentive Lynn and her staff was. Special kudos go to Joyce, who, in the midst of EVERYTHING else we had going on, remembered to deliver a special note from me to my parents' guestroom during the reception so they would receive it at the end of the evening. From our first meeting with Lynn (7 months before the wedding) until it was all over, she was a fantastic resource and one of the most organized people I've ever worked with. They took care of all the details, including contacting all of my vendors so I didn't have to worry about any of it on the day of the wedding! It has now been about six weeks since the wedding and people are still talking about how wonderful the Inn was...including, but not limited to, the delicious breakfasts, the comfy sitting areas where guests could just sit and talk, the friendly, attentive staff, and the beautiful decor and landscape. I would highly recommend the Black Horse Inn if you are looking for a truly special (and not just a cookie-cutter) wedding experience!

Our wedding was everything I had hoped it would be, and more! I was blessed to be able to help plan some of this very special wedding for an exceptional couple. When Hayden decided upon the Black Horse Inn as her wedding venue, I knew everyone was in for a real treat. Since I am personally very dear friends with the Mother of the Bride, and I also live in the area, I was in a great position to be of assistance. While geography played a factor in planning this wedding, it was in NO way a deterrent or evident to anyone. Theresa , the MOB, was a very organized trooper here and did so much leg work for her daughter, Hayden. Hayden was stationed in Hawaii or on assignment until shortly before the day of the wedding. Lynn, the Owner of the Black Horse Inn, was able to guide both Theresa and Hayden through the some of the major wedding decisions such as caterers and florists, both of which were perfect! The staff at the Black Horse was very helpful and efficient, as usual... and more importantly, Andy and Hayden were just radiant with happiness! It was a magical day and celebration filled with joy and love, as every wedding should be. No one present will ever forget the wedding of Andy and Hayden at the Black Horse Inn. I daresay, some young guests are even making plans for their wedding day to duplicate the essence of the Black Horse Inn. Thank you to all who made this possible and we wish Hayden and Andy a long life of the same joy which was present on their wedding day.

My husband And I were married 10/22/2011 at the Black Horse Inn and have absolutely no regrets about choice of venue. In fact, the BHI is sooo beautiful and inviting that I made up excuses to drive out there several times before the wedding from our chantilly home just to see it again and again :) Our family and guests LOVED this place and Joyce,one of the Inn keepers, was an angel! And an added bonus is being able to stay and visit for anniversaries to come since they have several bedrooms there at the Inn to stay in. Definitely a must see!

My husband and I got married at the Black Horse Inn at the beginning of September 2011. We booked the inn for the entire weekend, so we arrived Friday afternoon and left late Sunday morning. The only people that stayed at the inn were related to our wedding. We had a wonderful experience at the Black Horse Inn. Lynn is extremely warm and welcoming and from the beginning was very organised and efficient, which was very helpful for us as we had never planned such a large event before. It rained the entire week prior to our wedding and we thought for certain that we would have to move everything indoors, but luckily for us, the weather cleared up just in time on Friday and was beautiful for the weekend. Lynn's staff was always around the entire weekend and really assisted us in keeping the chaos to a minimum. We had our rehearsal dinner at the inn under a tent on the patio on Friday evening. Lynn very kindly provided us with centerpieces for our tables when we didn't bring any ourselves without even telling us. They were a wonderful touch. Lynn and her husband Jimmy (who had spent most of the afternoon mowing the property to have it look spic and span after all of the rain) joined us for our rehearsal dinner and were excellent company. Our actual wedding day had the normal hiccups, but Lynn and her team handled them all with aplomb. If any of your vendors do not show up on time, Lynn starts tracking them down for you (fortunately, we did not have this problem). The cocktail reception area and the Gilded Fox were set up to our specifications and were beautiful. Just some of the details that Lynn took care of: Prior to our entrance into the Gilded Fox, where our reception was held, I lost my bouquet. Lynn and her staff managed to track it down in the inn and golf carted it over to me so I would have the appropriate accoutremont upon our entrance. Lynn called her beloved horses over to stand by the fence so would could take some photos with them. She and her staff organised the bridal party and tracked down my MIA mother to make sure she was where she needed to be. Lynn and her staff serve a lovely cooked breakfast to all of the guests in the morning and afternoon snack, fruit, cheese, cookies, drinks, etc in the afternoon. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. The inn does allow dogs in two of the rooms, so our dog was able to join us for our wedding weekend. Overall, we had a lovely experience working with Lynn, Jimmy, and the staff. We would strongly recommend the Black Horse Inn for anyone wanting a beautiful, outdoor ceremony in a country setting and a well appointed, elegant reception hall. Many thanks to Lynn, Jimmy, and all of the staff for taking such good care of us and making our weekend so special.

Lynn and the Black Horse Inn staff were excellent! Throughout the planning process, they were incredibly helpful, providing lists of preferred vendors, as well as ideas and information about ceremonies and receptions. During our wedding weekend, they were an incredibly huge help to me in organizing all of our wedding attendants and family during the rehearsal, ceremony, and reception. Further, the inn and grounds are immaculate and beautiful, and the staff make all of the guests feel welcome and at home. I cannot imagine a more perfect place to get married! Thank you Lynn and BHI staff!!!

My wife and I do not hesitate to recommend whole heartedly The Black Horse Inn. The Black Horse Inn provided the perfect venue for our daughters wedding reception. The grounds and the Gilded Fox were immaculate. Lynn and her staff were accommodating, competent, and professional in every way.

On July 23, 2011, my son and daughter-in-law were married at the Black Horse Inn. It was an outdoor wedding on a very warm day, and couldn't have been more beautiful. Lynn and her staff were organized and accommodating throughout the weekend. We were guest for the weekend at the Black Horse Inn and enjoyed delicious meals in a relaxed atmosphere. It was a great place to visit with family and friends between wedding events. The inn is beautifully decorated and comfortable. The grounds were gorgeous and well maintained. It was a lovely weekend and everything the bride and groom had wanted!

When dreaming of my daughter's wedding I always pictured it as taking place in a beautiful location where we would have the exclusive use of the property. Following her engagement we searched the internet for a location which would provide elegance and space. We found it at the Black Horse Inn. Their reception hall, "The Gilded Fox" features large windows and french doors which open on to a spacious patio. This patio is one of three on the beautifully maintained property, which was great for taking pictures! Being from N.J., I needed to be able to offer accomodations for family members traveling to the wedding. The inn itself provided us with a charming, comfortable, immaculate and spacious location to house the family for the weekend. But the best part are the people who run the property and assist you in planning a flawless event. The owner, Lynn, is gracious AND highly organized. She made sure that we covered every aspect of the day in terms of planning. The result was a vision realized and one of the happiest in our family's life.

A friend got us a night at the Black Horse Inn for our wedding night and it was absolutely amazing! We got in late and they had wine, cheese, and crackers available (we were too tired and didn't have any, but it was there!!) In the morning we enjoyed a nice, amazingly delicious breakfast! We would highly recommend this to anyone! We took a walk outside and discovered that it would be a great venue for any wedding ceremony or reception also!

The Black Horse Inn in Warrenton, Virginia exceeded our expectations as a venue for our daughter's wedding. Not only did we have the absolutely perfect outdoor setting for the ceremony, and a fabulous facility for the reception, but the Inn itself served as a fairy tale setting for the bridal party to live in for two days and two nights. The facilities were immaculate, well maintained, and exceedingly comfortable. As pleased as we are with the facilities, they do not compare to the service provided by Lynn Pirozzoli and her staff. Lynn is the CEO and owner of the Black Horse Inn, and the Mastermind behind providing our daughter with the perfect wedding. Her staff made all of us feel like royalty. Lynn worked with us in the months leading up to the wedding, too. She provided a list of recommended vendors for virtually every service needed, giving us a head start in our search for all the usual arrangements. I could go on and on singing praises for Lynn and her crew. I vigorously recommend the Black Horse Inn for your wedding venue. Thank You Lynn! Jeff Swynenberg, Father of the Bride

Our daughter was married at the Black Horse Inn this past weekend. We had planned a garden wedding at the gazebo and rain was in the forecast. Lynn (the owner) was fantastic. She ran a hour by hour weather report so that we would be able to make an informative decision on where to have the ceremony. The staff was ready and willing to make the necessary changes if needed. We were able to have the wedding outside and it was beautiful. The staff were so responsive to our needs. Golf carts were available for the elderly to be transported from one venue to the other and this relieved alot of concerns. After the ceremony we moved to the tented cocktail hour. The tent was beautiful and our guests were very comfortable. Shortly after we moved into the Guilded Fox for the reception the rain came in torrents. As our guests were departing the reception Lynn and her staff arranged to transport our guests to their cars. We were so impressed that they had the forsight to arrange this service. Our stay for the weekend was spectacular. Thank you to Joyce for her wonderful stuffed french toast, breakfast quiche and sparkling personality. During the entire year of planning for this special day Lynn and her staff were very helpful and responsive. Anytime I had a question they were immediately back to me with an answer. Prior to the wedding we were able to access the Guilded Fox and Garden Terrace to decorate. Pam and Fatima were there helping and seeing to our every need. By the time the wedding day actually arrived we were ready and relaxed. I cannot say enough good things about the service we received at the Black Horse Inn. We experienced true "Southern Hospitality". I would highly recommend the BHI to anyone planning a wedding, anniversary, or weekend get away. The enitre venue is very picturesque and the children at the wedding totally enjoyed feeding and petting the horses. Thank you Lynn, Mel, Pam, Joyce and Fatima for all you did to make our daughter's wedding day so spectacular. You all have a special place in our hearts.

I was married at the Black Horse Inn, and can't express how wonderful it was! The venue itself is breath taking, perfect for wedding photos! My whole wedding party along with parents and grandparents were able to stay at the manor home, which was spacious and comfortable. The staff were extremely friendly and went above and beyond to ensures everyone's needs were met (cooking, cleaning, etc). Lynn and Jennifer ensured that every detail was planned (to the minute) for the entire wedding weekend. I didn't even need a wedding planner with Lynn and Jennifer around. Not only were they fantastic the weekend of the wedding, but they were helpful from the day we met with them. All my guests and even other vendors have stated how wonderful the Black Horse Inn was. I can't thank them enough, and would highly recommend this venue and experience to any future couples!!

The grounds, accommodations and staff of the Blackhorse Inn were all outstanding for our daughter's wedding October 16. The Inn was cozy and charming and decorated with lovely antiques. It was the perfect place for a week end wedding. The breakfasts were delicious and served in a beautifully appointed dining room. The staff was very accommodating and helpful to all of us and our guests. The gazebo area for the ceremony was charming and unique; The patio area for the pre-reception cocktail and hors douerves hour was excellent and well appointed with a fountain and bridge. The Gilded Fox building for the reception was exceptional and beautiful with its own fireplace and patio area and accommodated the sit down dinner with dancing very nicely. All in all it made for a picture perfect wedding!

I had my wedding weekend at the Black Horse Inn and found both the inn and staff to be exceptional. As the Bride, I felt I was in good hands and appreciated all the extras the Inn did to make my day more special. Lynn and her staff are organized and professional and did their best to keep the wedding on time even after an emergency arose. The venue could have not been more beautiful and perfect for our wedding day. Having a whole weekend to spend with family and friends was special and we liked that the Inn allowed us to come a few days ahead to set up the room. This allowed us the time to make sure everything was perfect and helped ease the tension of having so many moving parts to a wedding. The Black Horse Inn is an exceptional venue and I could not have been happier with our wedding weekend.

We held our 11 December 2010 wedding at the Black Horse Inn. At our first visit in September, we knew the Black Horse Inn was the perfect setting for our wedding. It was our first venue visit and we decided there was no need to look further. If you are looking for an elegant, peaceful, and private setting for a wedding, the Black Horse Inn is the perfect venue. I'm certain you cannot find the same care and attention that we experienced with Lynn and Jennifer at any other venue--no fancy hotel is going to provide the level of service we received. Throughout all of the planning and on the wedding day, Lynn and Jennifer cared about every detail just as we did to make our weekend perfect. The moment you arrive at the Inn, you know you have entered a special place. The rooms have so much character and the grounds are perfectly manicured. Our family and friends felt welcomed and relaxed throughout the weekend. The staff at the Inn are attentive and will cater to any need. They were always checking to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Given our December wedding date, weather was a concern to us and unpredictable. Lynn and Jennifer were so flexible about the contingencies in the event we had bad weather. They made us feel at ease and that no matter what, they would make it work. It turned out that we had the warmest day (44 degrees) in December. We had our ceremony and cocktail hour outside under a tent at one of the terraces and it worked perfectly. Our guests were able to enjoy the beautiful scenery and Lynn's horses frolicking in the field. The dinner reception was in the Gilded Fox Ballroom, which is an elegant, spacious, and private venue. Many of our guests commented how beautiful the ballroom was. The Black Horse Inn is a memorable place to have a wedding any time of the year. We believe the Inn was a magical and perfect venue for our December wedding. The Inn's tasteful Christmas decorations inside and out looked amazing and was a perfect backdrop for our pictures. We highly recommend you make a point to visit the Inn before finalizing your selection of venue!

The Black Horse Inn is a great place for a special event, in my case, my daughter's wedding and reception. The Black Horse is a beautiful old estate, furnished in period (circa 1850s) decor, which provided a great backdrop for our event. We arrived to find the entire estate adorned inside and out with Spring flowers. Our rooms were fitted out with antique furnishings and were most comfortable. All our needs had been taken care of; the very few requests that did occur were satisfied immediately by the dedicated and friendly staff. In short, we had a great weekend in a great place with a great staff who made it all too easy. Thank you for helping create our wonderful memories.

My husband and I held our Spring 2011 wedding at the Black Horse Inn, with 100 guests. We fell in love with the property a year earlier and, while we had some concerns, the idea of having the property for the entire weekend and the natural beauty of the area won us over. Price seemed quite high, but we were assured we had the property for the weekend and would be able to hold the rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and reception there. If we had the wedding to do over again, the Black Horse Inn is the sole vendor we would change. We had trouble throughout the process getting clear communication from the venue, as did several of our guests. When we were contacted, an immediate response was required but the favor was rarely returned. Little things kept popping up, taking away from the ‘compressive’ price. For example, after telling us that the venue would provide sparklers for the departure of the bride and groom, I noticed the contract required us to provide the basket and matches for said sparklers. OK. I asked about this at our month out meeting and was then told the sparklers weren’t included. Don’t sell this as your trademark thing if all you’re doing is adding another chore to my wedding to-do list!... She offered us free linens for the rehearsal dinner picnic, then turned around and charged us for them, accosting my husband for the extra 250$ the moment he arrived on the property. Once the weekend of the event came around, the disappointment continued. We had prepaid for all of the rooms, per her policy, but about half of our guests were being billed. (And we would be reimbursed.) Each guest was ‘welcomed’ with a typed note demanding payment before 6pm the first day they arrived and every single room was billed over by 25$ per night; that totaled a difference of nearly 600$. So much for hunt country hospitality! Guests complained about beds being too soft, duvets with stains, wasps in rooms and threadbare towels. Staff could never be found when you needed them. I was embarrassed by how shabby the Inn was after talking this wedding up to my friends and family for nearly nine months. When called into the kitchen to sign final day-of scheduled the night before, the housekeeper managed to ruin a surprise my husband had been working on by telling me the bottle of 2002 Dom and Tiffany’s bracelet would be brought to my room the next morning. Husband was livid. I was equally livid when more than a third of the bottle was *dumped out* that afternoon during photos. That was literally several hundred dollars worth of delicious, sentimental champagne. Other day-of SNAFUs included the owner pestering me ten minutes before the ceremony for paperwork she had failed to follow through on... Husband was expected to move his luggage himself into the bridal suite at around 11am on the wedding day. My coordinators won’t tell me the rest!

Katie’s and Erich’s Wedding Weekend at the Black Horse Inn was a most beautiful experience. On a scale of 5.0, Lynn Pirozzoli, and the Black Horse Inn merit a 10.0 and then some. Beginning with our first meeting with Lynn on a snowy January weekend until our daughter’s wedding on October 23, we received first class treatment with every detail. Lynn is genuine in every way and her website for the Black Horse Inn is a very accurate depiction of the property. My husband and I are tough critics, however, we were very confident throughout the 10 months of wedding planning that Lynn and her amazing staff would make sure everything ran smoothly and that the setting was beautiful. Every time we contacted Lynn or Jennifer (whether by email or telephone), the response was immediate regardless of the request. On our daughter’s and son-in-law’s wedding day, Lynn, Jennifer, Joyce M., Pam, and Joyce R were amazing and handled all of the details so that we could enjoy the day. They are all very warm and kind and put us at ease. Our families and wedding party arrived at various times on Friday and were graciously welcomed by Lynn and her staff, providing a lovely fruit and cheese display with wine and other beverages. I can’t say enough about the accommodations which are so beautiful with very comfortable beds, and rooms that are clean beyond belief. Joyce M arrived early every morning to make sure our guests had coffee, tea, etc. and breakfast whenever they wished. The breakfasts are so delicious – more food than one can imagine – as an example: fresh fruit, fresh squeezed orange juice, sausages, French toast, an assortment of breakfast breads and goodies – beautiful presentation. And the tables are set up in sunlit rooms overlooking the beautiful grounds. Our guests continue to comment that they had never attended such a beautiful wedding and reception and that they had the best time ever at a wedding reception. Jennifer was amazing in keeping things running smoothly. The tables were arranged exactly as we wished and the décor provided by the Black Horse Inn made the room look spectacular. It was truly amazing. And the cost for this venue is much more reasonable than most hotels or other reception venues in the Washington, D.C. area. When I told Lynn that some of our guests would require babysitting services, she responded immediately recommending a member of her staff, Joyce R, who is not only a seasoned babysitter, but a wonderful person with incredibly reasonable fees. The kids loved her and the parents were able to enjoy the reception knowing their children were in excellent hands. Lynn and her staff took care of us the entire wedding weekend. They were always in “the right place at the right time”. Lynn, Jennifer, Joyce M, Pam, and Joyce R. made our daughter’s and son-in-law’s wedding weekend beautiful beyond our dreams.

Where else could we get a georgeous mansion all to ourselves and our immediate family and a fabulous staff that paid attention to all the details. Everything went flawlessly, from the moment we arrived, we felt warm and comfortable with the assurance that the ceremony and reception would be perfect from start to finish. Value for the cost---definitely a 5.0 out of 5.0. It was over the top and we didn't have to worry about a thing. The Inn, ballroom and the grounds a photographer's dream. Jennifer, Lynn and Joyce bent over backwards to accomodate our every need. If you want a perfect wedding, I recommend the Black Horse Inn. They are the ultimate professionals.

Lynn, Jennifer, Pam and Joyce were INCREDIBLE!! They made our wedding weekend a truly amazing experience. Lynn is extremely responsive - I always got a response within 24 hours to any questions, updates or requests I had. All my bridesmaids stayed with me the night before the wedding in the "Hunt Box" and it was a priceless experience. After the rehearsal dinner, all of the bridesmaids, groomsmen, and our family staying at the Inn were able to continue the party in the parlor. It was so great to have all of our bridal party and our family stay with us - we all got to bond so much during the weekend and it put everyone at ease. The venue itself offers many options and was perfect for our multi-day affair. We had the rehearsal dinner/Indian Pithi ceremony on the tented terrace on Friday, the ceremony at the Gazebo, cocktail hour on the terrace, reception at the Gilded Fox, and the cigar bar on the terrace adjoining the Gilded Fox. Joyce is so friendly and made all our guests feel so comfortable. Jennifer worked flawlessly with our day-of-coordinators to make sure everything went exactly as planned. Our guests at the Inn were wowed by the look, feel, and experience of the weekend, and our friends and family were amazed by the beauty of the facilities and grounds. We would absolutely recommend this place without any reservations. We thought it was worth every penny to have a relaxed, stress-free weekend with our family and friends.

My husband and I were married at the Black Horse Inn on August 21, 2010 and could not have asked for a more perfect experience! Lynn & Jennifer were both amazing in giving us advice along the way and making our day more perfect than either of us could have ever imagined! Also, Pam & Joyce were great and were very patient with our group of 25 that stayed! With all of the help that we received I didn't think twice about not hiring a wedding planner. We loved being able to have our bridal party & parents stay with us the entire weekend...it felt so much more like an event versus a few hours together. While I got my hair & makeup done, Lynn set up shotgun shooting for my husband and the groomsmen at the last minute because other plans had fallen through and they all loved it! (Thanks again, Lynn, for the recommendation!) Also, during the reception, Jennifer kept us on schedule before the dancing started so that she could make sure that we ate first before we starting making our rounds with the guests. Overall, Black Horse Inn is an amazing location for your dream wedding with fabulous spots for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, dancing and pictures! We have received so many compliments from our guests on how great Black Horse was! If you are even somewhat considering it as a possible venue, I urge you to go check it out - you will not be disappointed with the location and will fall in love with everyone there (even the horses)!

My daughter was married this past weekend at The Black Horse Inn. Our guests were treated to a magical weekend event in one of the most beautiful settings in Virginia. Anyone can dress up a hall and make it look nice for a ceremony. At the Inn you have the quaint gazebo for you
