The Barn at Willow Brook

We had our wedding on October 12, 2024 at the beautiful Barn at the Willowbrook, but that’s nowhere near when the search and planning began. While Barn-themed weddings are certainly popular, at least according to everybody’s fake life on Instagram; and entrepreneurial-minded Virginians are more than happy to cater broader DC-area denizens’ desire to cosplay a day of beautiful scenery outside of their small, overpriced living spaces, almost none of them offer this fanciful opportunity with genuine merriment and care. The Barn at the Willowbrook offers this and more, all without being the equivalent of a 20% down payment on the aforementioned overpriced tiny homes that dot the DC-metro area. When we first went to go look at the Barn at the Willowbrook, we were exhausted and jaded. Want a barn theme? Great, so is everybody else that you didn’t know you were in competition with! Looking for something affordable? There’s a really nice barn jutting out of a developing strip mall that only needs some creative camera angles to make this comical contrast in composition not look absolutely bizarre. Want to forego the strip mall aesthetic? Awesome. I hope you’re from old money and can take breaks from going to Bora Bora every other weekend. Beyond these extremes, you’ll find that almost every place has set-in-stone contingencies that make what would be at first blush appealing absolutely a non-starter. Not the Willowbrook, though. When we first visited, we were met by a family that immediately made us feel welcome and walked us through what the Barn and surrounding area could offer us for our wedding. Their photo book was not just a means to demo their facility, they had stories behind each photo; and when we proposed a given idea, their eyes would light up with excitement, recognition, and a photo of a couple’s wedding day. This family knows what they’re doing, they care about what they’re doing, and they’re excited by what they’re doing. Nowhere else offers this, and our tired search finally ended after meeting this beautiful family. This care and attention also extended to their recommended vendors. Not that either of us has experience in procuring vendors for a wedding but being received by pleasant surprise and happy anecdotes was reassuring to hear. What was resoundingly common throughout every story was that the family who run the Willowbrook are genuinely good people who know exactly what they’re doing. Every single interaction; every single random question; every single concern was always met with a quick response and a good. I don’t think we can stress this enough: what really makes this an excellent place to plan your wedding is the family. Thank you to the Madden family for making our wedding a wonderful memory that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

The Barn at Willow Brook is absolutely amazing! The stunning views and top-notch amenities are just part of what makes this venue so special. What truly sets it apart is the incredible family that owns it, particularly Betsy and Daryl, who were there for us every step of the way. We also had the pleasure of working with the dream team coordinators, Kelly and Kaila. These ladies went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for us. Their warmth and dedication made our special day unforgettable. I can’t recommend The Barn at Willow Brook enough for anyone looking to create lasting memories!

There aren’t enough words to express my deepest gratitude for Betsy, Kelly and the Madden Family! They made our wedding day and the wedding process so delightful! They truly poured their hearts into our wedding, and we feel so blessed to have done our wedding at the Barn at Willow Brook. From driving up to the Barn to entering the venue and touring the grounds, it instantly took our breath away. We immediately knew this is where we wanted to spend our special day. Betsy and Kelly are so accommodating, detail- oriented, responsive, and truly such a joy to work with! They have become a part of our family through this process, and we can’t wait to share more memories at the Barn.

I seriously cannot say enough good things about WB!! The venue is absolutely stunning and comes with so many useful details (tables, chairs, greenery, drapings, etc). The suites have EVERYTHING you could possibly need the weekend of your wedding, we stayed the night before (after the rehearsal) and it was perfect! They also only do one wedding per weekend and are so welcoming and flexible and easy to work with. It truly made our weekend a breeze! And let me tell you, all that said…the best part about WB is the family. Betsy and Kelly are an absolutely incredible pair! They are SO kind, thoughtful, professional and overall are wonderful at what they do. They were just as excited about our day as we were. They feel like family now and I couldn’t have asked for better. If you book WB you should absolutely book Kelly as your coordinator. She runs a tight ship and our day was so on schedule that we were never even a minute late on anything!!! Thank you both so so much for everything. Our day was magical because of you and WB❤️

Every girl has a vision of what she wants her wedding to look and feel like. I researched over 30 venues and none of them felt right. When I came across The Barn at Willow Brook, I knew I had to see it in person. As soon as I got out of the car, I had tears in my eyes. My fiancé knew right away that I finally got that feeling! The barn is stunning! It is modern and beautiful on the outside and inside. It is well kept and the grounds surrounding the barn have stunning views. Inside has the prettiest greenery and lighting. It has such a rustic vibe. When I met the owners, Betsy and Daryl, they gave me the warmest welcome. They were eager to answer any questions and discuss our vision for the wedding. Then they showed us the bridal and groom suites. I was in love! We ended up booking the overnight package so we could sleep at the venue the night before. This was the best decision! We were able to come to the venue the day before and get organized. Sleeping in the venue the night before helped me feel less rushed the day of. My bridesmaids and I had a blast! The bridal suite is adorable. My girls and I enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck while listening to the cows moo nearby. It was the perfect way to start my wedding day! My fiancé enjoyed the sauna in the groom's suite and he felt like he was just as spoiled as I was. Betsy and Daryl do a great job making both spaces equally amazing, because the groom should feel just as pampered! Our wedding day was incredible! Everything went to smoothly and my guests raved about how beautiful the venue and the farmland around it was. Betsy was more than happy to answer any questions I had leading up to the wedding. She was fast to get back to me and recommended vendors in my price range. She helped our visions come to life. When we decided to move the ceremony inside at the last minute due to the heat, she was quick to help with ideas! If you decide to book your wedding at The Barn at Willow Brook, you will not be disappointed! I felt like Betsy was family, that is how warm and welcoming she is! Betsy and Daryl went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was perfect! I highly recommend The Barn at Willow Brook!

If you want a magical wedding day & an unforgettable wedding experience you need to have your wedding here!!! Betsy & her family are amazing! They take you in as their own family & make your experience top notch! Betsy & her family are so helpful & the wedding and experience we had at the Barn at Willow Brooke will always be remembered. The venue was absolutely amazing & all the vendors were so wonderful. I definitely recommend Betsy , her family & their beautiful venue for your next wedding!!! Mine and my husbands experience there was magical & our wedding was perfect 💕💕💕

This was the first wedding venue I toured and I fell in love with it instantly! Highly highly recommend Willow Brook! They were amazing for my wedding there and made everything so easy and stress free.

We could not have asked for a better wedding venue! Betsy, Kelly, and Daryl were so sweet and made us feel like family! They were so easy to get in touch with throughout the planning process and the entire wedding weekend. They were so happy to answer any questions we had and did everything they could to make sure we had an amazing time. They were so excited and open to us having personal details at the wedding and worked hard to make sure everything we wanted was included. The venue itself is absolutely gorgeous and was the centerpiece for all of our plans and ideas. The barn is spacious yet intimate and I loved having everything at the reception (bar, bathroom, dancing) so close together so no one felt like they were missing out. The transition from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception was seamless. Kelly and Betsy made our wedding day such a breeze and I never had to worry about where people were or what we should be doing next. They worked with all of our vendors on the day of so we could focus on getting married and enjoying the day with our family and friends. Daryl was instrumental in helping us pack up all of our items at the end of the night and was kind enough to let us come back and pick things up the next day. We could not have dreamed of a better wedding experience!!

Gorgeous venue and the owners are amazing!!!! They definitely help things go smoothly and are incredibly kind. My boyfriend (along with my bestie) planned a surprise proposal here as well, so this place is doubly special for us. Betsy and crew were there for the journey and I can’t say enough about their hearts and they way they listened to our vision for the big day. Do yourself a favor and book with Willow Brook for your wedding. You won’t regret it!

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!

There’s the typical “picture perfect” wedding experience and then there’s the Willow Brook experience. All the glowing reviews speak for themselves but I assure you, nothing can compare to seeing the venue in person. When my husband and I first toured the venue, as soon as we saw it in the distance we were like “yup this is the one”. It’s the perfect mix of rustic charms and modern chic that will win over any picky bride. I never imagined myself having a “barn” wedding but the interiors are so sophisticated and new that it didn’t feel like we were having a wedding “in a barn on a farm”. Our guests are still in awe at how beautiful the venue was. Even on a cold November day, the landscaping and hills around the barn remained pretty as ever. The vibes are immaculate when the sun sets and the venue gets so cozy and intimate. My only regret? Not getting the package with a stay in the bridal and grooms suite the night before!! The suites are nothing short of luxurious and accommodating and as an interior designer I am still obsessed with every detail built on the venue. Now, I haven’t even gotten to the best part about The Barn at Willow Brook and that is having the pleasure to work with such wonderful people - owners Betsy and Daryl are such sweethearts (like literally they were high school sweethearts) and are amazingly accommodating to our every needs. Then there’s Kelly, who is their daughter and the in house wedding planner/coordinator who is just as wonderful and so knowledgeable when it comes to executing the perfect wedding. Within one day, I needed to have a traditional Vietnamese wedding, lunch, a western ceremony with Filipino traditions, and a reception party. Kelly was able to squeeze in all of that into our timeline along with all our photos AND we had enough time to eat, drink, and party!! She might have been more excited for my wedding than I was! Another amazing person on the WB team is Kaila, who coordinated the day of my wedding to a T. Kaila stepped in last minute and was a superstar at coordinating with my crazy family LOL. There has been multiple times where I was very close to going bridezilla but Kaila always stepped in to assure I will have an amazing wedding experience and I did! Overall, they are the most professional, passionate, and caring folks and I’m not sure if my wedding experience would have been the same if it wasn’t for the WB team. I cannot rave enough about how perfect The Barn at Willow Brook is. So many guests came up to my husband and I and told us “this is the best wedding I’ve been to all year”. So a word of advice for all my picky bride-to-be’s…as soon as he pops that question you need to RUN not walk and book with The Barn at Willow Brook because I can assure you that they are booked until the next year.

I cannot recommend The Barn at Willow Brook enough for anyone's wedding! I had my wedding at The Barn on 11/6/2022 and it was absolutely amazing. Not only is the Barn absolutely gorgeous but the owners (Betsy & Darrell) are a dream to work with. Any question that I had was quickly answered and professionally answered. Betsy took every measure to make sure our day was as perfect as it could. I had a few hiccups along the way with planning and Betsy quickly jumped in and provided me with any resource she had. It made the entire wedding planning process so much easier and less stressful. The Barn itself comes with beautiful tables, chairs, draping, and greenery. Additionally the onsite Bridal and Groom's suites are a dream come true! They are spacious and beautiful, making it easy to stay calm and relax on the morning of the wedding. Overall my experience planning and hosting my wedding at the Barn at Willow Brook was FANTASTIC and again, I highly recommend this venue for anyone's wedding. Thank you!

We just had our wedding last weekend at the barn at willow brook and it was everything I had dreamed it would be!! From the first time I stepped on the property, I knew this is where I’d want my wedding. The day I drove by with ny further mother-in-law, the Maddens were celebrating family birthdays. Daryl stepped out to show us the barn. I planned a tour with Betsy the next day. Betsy was always so responsive while I finalized my decision to go with the barn. The list of vendors they provided made the planning process so much easier! We were able to use Kelly as our day of coordinator. She did more than just day of answering questions along the way. If anything went wrong day of, I have no idea because she was on top of everything! The day after our wedding, Betsy called me because we had left our vow books behind. These obviously meant a lot to us and we were so thankful she did. I highly recommend the barn at willow brook and will be back for anniversary and family pictures in years to come!

This is the most AMAZING venue. My husband and I got married here October 08, 2022 and our day was perfect thanks to Betsy, Kelly, and the rest of the family! Every review mentions how kind the family is- they are not exaggerating! They are passionate about creating the most magical day for each couple they work with. The barn is gorgeous. You barely need to decorate because the white draping, lights, and hanging greenery make the space feel so beautiful and complete. The moment we walked into the barn during our tour I knew we had to have our wedding there. I highly recommend booking Kelly as your day of coordinator as soon as you book the venue! I spent a year and a half planning and she was so sweet and helpful the entire time. She always responded quickly and answered all 1000 of my questions. I also highly recommend doing the one night package. This allowed us to have our rehearsal dinner on site, and gave us time to put out a few decorations before going to bed. It was so fun to have all of my friends and my mom stay on site with me the night before the wedding. This venue is worth every penny! You will have the most gorgeous wedding here!

We had the wedding of our dreams at The Barn at Willow Brook! This venue was one of the first that we had looked at, and we instantly fell in love with it! The barn is absolutely beautiful, along with the entire property! We also fell in love with the entire Madden family! They are so incredibly hands on during the entire process. They helped make the planning process and our wedding day go so smoothly. We can’t recommend this venue enough!

Where do I even begin?! The Barn At Willow Brook was everything we could've ever imagined and more! When my now husband and I were first looking at venues, we searched rustic and farmhouse wedding venues. This one immediately came up and without even seeing it in person, we knew it was the one! We contacted Betsy who was extremely responsive and scheduled a time to take a tour. Upon pulling up, our mouths dropped and we smiled from ear to ear! It was breathtaking, beautiful, and everything we anticipated it to be! Betsy greeted us with excitement, enthusiasm, and you could immediately feel the love she has for her clients and her venue. She was a godsend and just so helpful over the course of two years! She offered recommendations on vendors, stayed in touch with us, and also offered us to come back whenever we wanted! Our wedding was 10/1/22 and the only word I can use to describe it was PERFECT! Even with Hurricane Ian being forecasted to impact our wedding, Betsy was so optimistic and kept such a positive outlook! We rented the venue for Friday-Sunday and I only wish we could've stayed longer! The venue itself with the surrounding scenery and landscaping was just stunning. The owners opened their home for the bridal party, which is on the same property. Upstairs you will find the bridesmaid suite which is gorgeous and girly, and the groomsmen suite in the basement is huge and luxurious, both extremely accommodating. Betsy and her family truly made you feel comfortable and at home while making sure she was only a phone call away if needed. Her daughter Kelly is an on-site coordinator, and although we had a different coordinator (due to us booking late), she was still along for our journey and answered any questions we had! This family is really the sweetest people you could get the pleasure of knowing. From their calm demeanor, being so genuine, and taking pride in helping others, you will have absolutely no hesitations when booking this venue! Our guests and family boasted about how beautiful the suites and venue both are, and are still giving us compliments on how perfect everything was. Some of them, who have had barn weddings of their own, stated that Willow Brook was much more beautiful than where they had theirs! This place was honestly a dream come true and we are so honored to have had this opportunity to have our wedding here. Thank you to The Barn At Willow Brook for making our vision come to life, and truly making this once in a lifetime experience that was absolutely perfect! We cannot WAIT to come back and visit!! Until then, we will certainly reminisce and relive our wedding day through our photos and video!

We don't even know where to begin when it comes to describing The Barn at Willow Brook. Magical? Enchanting? Unparalleled? All of the above? Any word we thought we found to highlight this slice of magic would truly sell this paradise of a venue short and we're sure every guest and wedding couple of Willow Brook who's been fortunate to celebrate here can attest to this. It all started when we were touring venues around Leesburg. We felt drained, sad and frustrated that the other venues weren't able to work with what we wanted and often tried to make us sign contracts on the spot. I'm glad we didn't because Willow Brook was our last stop, where Betsy was willing to meet us late on a cold March day. Our mood changed INSTANTLY when we parked and just being at WB already felt like the answer to our wedding prayers. Betsy went over the amazing weekend packages they had and WB's willingness to accommodate to, and fulfill, our desires and vision - which was exactly what we needed to conduct an early afternoon Vietnamese tea ceremony and an American traditional ceremony in the late afternoon. She was absolutely genuine about making sure this was just the right place for us and if we would be happy here. The accommodations also left us speechless! We went from seeing venues with no grooms suites to seeing the best groom suite Virginia has to offer. The venue is so stunning and everyone from our family to guests and vendors were in awe when they saw WB and still haven't stopped saying amazing things to us about it. But now let's talk about the Madden family -- literal angels on Earth. Betsy has the sweetest personality and made sure to be accessible, responsive and involved when it came to answering any questions we had about the venue and planning process. She literally makes you feel at home and part of the family. The love she radiates to her couples is pure and genuine and a love you only get once. And if you're lucky enough to book Kelly as your coordinator, you're all set. The planning process only gets better from here; she makes it easy and does everything to alleviate any wedding stress her couples have. When she tells you that the only thing you're responsible of doing on your wedding day is to enjoy yourselves and have the time of your life, she means it and will do everything to ensure that from the moment you meet her. Our Vietnamese tea ceremony was Willow Brook's first-ever ceremony of its kind, and the very first day after we signed our contract with WB (which was 18 months before our wedding), Kelly already took the initiative to learn about the ceremony's customs, the process, and its meaning without us ever asking her to do so. It showed us that not only is she on top of everything she does, but that she expresses the same level of involvement, dedication, care and compassion as her mom does. We know that planning one wedding is already a big task as-is, and she helped flow two ceremonies (and three outfit changes!) in one day so seamlessly. Daryl is also a friendly face you'll find around the venue and he's always doing things behind the scenes to help with your day. I can't imagine having a better team than them to trust to give you the best day of your life. Willow Brook, thank you for letting us be a part of the family and giving us the happiest time of our lives. If we can find ANY reason to ever come back - we will in a heart beat! Nothing we wouldn't do for this family and place. Photos: Molly Lichten Photography

We had the wedding of our dreams at the Barn at Willow Brook! Picking our venue was such a difficult and important decision, and we are so happy that we found Willow Brook and the Madden family. From the very beginning they were so kind, welcoming, and helpful and completely dedicated to making sure we had everything we wanted for our wedding. We got the Friday and Saturday rental which allowed us to have our rehearsal dinner on site on Friday and stay over night before our Saturday wedding. We're so glad we did! The Barn is gorgeous and furnished, which made it easy for us to not have to bring in a ton of decorations and rentals. The groom's suite and bridal suite are beautiful, clean, and well appointed--we all felt so luxurious getting ready and wished we could just spend a week there. We also hired Kelly as our coordinator and she created a wedding day timeline that our photographer told us was the best she'd ever seen! Everything was so beautiful and went smoothly, but the best part was getting to work with Betsy, Daryl, and Kelly. It's clear they love what they do and they made us feel special and cared for which set such a positive tone for the whole weekend. Book this venue! Worth every penny.

Highly recommend working with The Barn at Willow Brook and the Madden Family! The venue is beautiful and has such a clean, modern feel that you typically don't see with barn venues. The Madden family is so kind and lovely and made sure our day went seamlessly. We had one hiccup at the end of the night with a different vendor, but the Madden family was incredibly supportive and even remained in communication with my parents in the days following the wedding to make sure that got resolved appropriately!

We had the most AMAZING wedding at The Barn at Willow Brook! From the moment we first met Betsy and Kelly, we felt so comfortable and confident that they would make our day unforgettable. It is so quiet, peaceful and breathtakingly gorgeous! The venue itself is absolutely stunning with lots of space for bridal party and family to relax comfortably. The bridesmaids and I stayed overnight and it was perfect! Cannot wait to see our pictures! Betsy and Kelly are incredible and we feel so lucky to have had them during our special day. They are so attentive to every detail, professional and make everyone feel so welcome. We will never be able to thank them enough for our beautiful day. Highly, highly, highly recommend The Barn at Willow Brook for your wedding!!!

The Barn at Willow Brook was a fairytale. After joining so many groups on social media to prepare for the big day, we honestly expected hiccups… But there were literally zero. Betsy and Kelly could not be any more professional and sweet! They made the day run effortlessly. The bridal suite and groomsmen‘s quarters are absolutely stunning, and it was so amazing to be able to be at the venue the night before and wake up with gorgeous views on wedding day. Everyone was so impressed by the venue and all the features that make it stand out from the rest. Every little detail was envisioned and executed with pure love! We cannot recommend this little slice of Heaven enough. We will never forget it. 🤍

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.

My husband and I knew The Barn at Willow Brook was our venue from the moment we stepped inside. Betsy instantly made us feel at home and provided us with all the information we needed. Betsy and Kelly were super helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. The venue is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS with a modern, classy barn feel. The property is great for photos! The groomsman and bridal suites are wonderful, and the perfect place to get ready and create lifelong memories. The Madden's are the sweetest and most genuine family, that truly work hard to make couple's dreams come true. My husband and I had our dream wedding due to their helpful coordination and support. Kelly was a lifesaver and she helped me through the entire day, making me feel ready and comfortable. She took care of literally, EVERYTHING. My friends and family all were impressed and had an amazing time. We are forever grateful for the wonderful weekend at Willow Brook. We highly recommend this venue to all brides and grooms!!

The Barn at Willow Brook is amazing!! This venue is so well organized in every aspect. Betsy and Darryl are such lovely venue owners and go the extra mile in caring for their clients. I can't thank you enough for the care you've extended to us! We planned our wedding in just three months and The Barn at Willow Brook truly made my wedding the most special day!!!

The Barn at Willow Brook is what wedding dreams are made of! I cannot say enough good things about our experience with having our wedding here. The Madden family was such a joy to work with! They really took a lot of stress off during the planning process and made sure everything went smoothly. They really are some of the sweetest people you will ever meet! If you're looking for a venue that has it all, The Barn at Willow Brook is your place! I loved having the ability to craft our wedding exactly how we wanted it. Despite the weather being less than ideal, I wouldn't change a single thing; our day was absolutely perfect thanks to this beautiful venue and these amazing people!

From the moment we stepped foot in the Barn at Willow Brook, we knew it was “the one”! It had the cozy farmhouse charm we were looking for while also having the modern touch of large windows that let in lots of natural light. Even before any wedding decorations, it already looked beautiful with the existing white draping and greenery. We felt so welcomed by Betsy during the tour, and it was a nice change from the impersonal interactions we had had at other venues. My husband and I were won over by the spacious bridal and groomsmen’s suites, which had plenty of amenities to enjoy on the wedding day. It was also a great place for the wedding party to relax while getting ready. We also worked with Kelly as our day-of coordinator and her guidance and organization made our day run so smoothly! She was very well prepared while also being flexible throughout the day. She knew the venue so well and asked us detailed questions during our venue walkthrough to make sure that she got everything just right. My family and wedding party were impressed with her poise and kindness throughout this entire process. The Barn at Willow Brook was our dream venue and made our wedding day that much more extraordinary. We received many compliments on the choice of venue, and it perfectly fit our wedding size. From the loft overlooking the dance floor to the lovely pergola they built for ceremonies, every part of the venue was gorgeous and charming. We highly recommend the Barn at Willow Brook to other couples!

The Barn at Willowbrook is truly stunning! They are an amazing family to work with and make wedding planning easy. I stress very easily but Betsy and Kelly made me feel relaxed about the whole process! Aside from the incredible family, the barn is beyond perfect. We have gotten so many compliments on our venue choice, it truly was the best decision!

We couldn't be more appreciative of Betsy, Kelly, and Daryl throughout the planning and day of events. The Barn at Willow Brook was an amazing venue, and they immediately made us feel as if we were family. From the first tour to the day after the wedding, they were there for us the whole way. They always continue to put work into the barn so every time you come back to visit you get to see all the landscaping, changes, and time they put into the barn. Highly recommend you work with this amazing family and the Barn is such a special place to get married.

If we could give BWB a 10 out of 10 we would! My husband and I booked at another venue in the area originally and ran into SO many issues - it was an absolute nightmare. Once we cancelled that venue, we visited BWB and it was love at first walk through! Betsy, Daryl, Kelly and James are an absolute dream team. They'll make you feel like family from day one, which just makes the wedding day one-thousand times easier because you know there is nothing to worry about. The space is stunning - from the barn, to the bridal and groom's suite, to the onsite cottage. I highly recommend getting the full-weekend package (with the cottage)! Staying the night there made the weekend run so much smoother - not to mention it felt so luxurious and relaxing to have all our loved ones in one place. Truly it is the absolute perfect venue. We STILL have people telling us how it was the best wedding they've ever been to and we have BWB to thank for making it so incredible. We were originally scheduled for April 2021, but had to reschedule due to COVID (with ease) to November 2021 and it was still stunning!

The Barn at Willow Brook is truly a family-owned business and they treat all of their “customers”, like family. They have significant experience working with vendors in the DMV area, making collaboration with your DJ, photographer, caterer, florist, etc. absolutely seamless. They are extremely accommodating, detail-oriented, and make their home feel like yours. They’re honest, come prepared, and there are no hidden costs. By the time the big day rolled around, they felt like family. We couldn’t be happier with selecting the Barn at Willow Brook as our wedding venue.

Betsy & Daryl Madden are the owners of The Barn at Willow Brook in Leesburg, Virginia. We had our daughter’s wedding at their gorgeous venue and we highly recommend it! They both went above and beyond to make every detail perfect for the wedding day. They take a personal interest in each family and are friendly, attentive and just so fun to work with. The entire day went off without a hitch and our wedding guests raved about what a beautiful event we had at The Barn at Willow Brook.

As the mother of the bride, you want perfection when it comes to your daughter’s wedding. The Barn at Willow Brook and the Madden Family certainly made that happen not once but twice thanks to the pandemic. Our daughter Courtney and son-in-law Andrew were married on October 3, 2020, and they decided to have their reception on October 30, 2021. Betsy and Daryl went above and beyond with every detail and to make sure both days were perfect. The venue is beautiful and picturesque as well as the landscaping. The bridal sweet and groomsman suit has every little detail you can think of. The Maddens are a true delight to work with and are as excited for the bride and groom as the parents. We had a wonderful experience with Betsy and Daryl and would highly recommend The Barn at Willow Brook for your wedding day! I could go on and on how wonderful the Maddens and their beautiful venue is.

My wife and I got married at Willow Brook on October 16, 2021 and it was the perfect day! The venue is absolutely gorgeous and the day went so smoothly! The property is tucked away and makes it feel like you're in your own world (despite being right outside of historic Leesburg). We were hoping to be outside, but the rain didn't cooperate, leading to the most beautiful indoor ceremony we could ask for. Betsy and Daryl were amazing and quick to provide solutions and keep our stress levels low. Willow Brook has a wonderful network of vendors that they work with and Betsy helped immensely throughout all stages of searching for vendors and planning. They are very sweet and loving people! The barn is a wonderful mix of elegant and rustic. The bridal and groomsmen suites are very spacious!

Our daughter got married in the fall of 2021 at Willowbrook. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful venue and accommodating owners and vendors. Our friends and family marveled at the serene topography and gorgeous architecture as well as all the attention to detail. Everyone was wonderful and we felt spoiled the entire day. Daryl and Betsy have the gift of hospitality and are truly in the right business. We recommend them highly and we are forever grateful for their talents.

The Barn at Willow Brook was absolutely perfect! The barn and surrounding outdoor space is beautiful and has no bad angles. The barn's decor and tall ceilings were jaw dropping and our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the space was. On top of that, Betsy was amazing to work with. She's incredibly responsive and answered all of my questions throughout my whole wedding planning process. Highly recommend!

My husband and I selected The Barn at Willow Brook SIGHT UNSEEN in April of 2021 for our wedding in October 2021. All of the planning for our Thursday mini wedding was done virtually. The reason that we felt comfortable securing vendors and making deposits was because of Betsy. She went over and beyond to take several calls and spend hours reviewing details and vendors with us. There was never a time that Betsy was not available, and she always accommodated us and any request that we had. The vendors that work with The Barn were responsive and professional. The florist, caterer, photographer, DJ and day of planner all went out of their way to ensure our vision came to life. There is not a single person that did not go above the call of duty to make our day special. It felt like our wedding was the only wedding they had at the time (in a year full of weddings). The Barn at Willow Brook is a very special place. The minute you turn down the dirt road you can feel yourself exhale and you know that everything is right. Betsy and her family welcome each bride, groom, and guest as if you are an extension of their family. The views, immaculate space and kindness that surrounds The Barn is a one-of-a-kind experience.

We got married at The Barn at Willow Brook in October 2021, and I cannot say enough good things about this venue. Not only is the venue absolutely gorgeous, but the owners are so incredibly kind. Every time we visited Willow Brook it felt like home! Betsy and Daryl added so many things since we booked the venue back in 2020. This venue has everything you could ever want for your wedding day. They also let us visit the venue any time we wanted. We felt so welcome and cared for by the Madden family. It is not just another wedding for them; they pay attention to every wedding and make the day so special. We also used Kelly as our coordinator, and she is truly something special. She answered countless questions from me and was so responsive, even though she just had a baby! The day went SO smoothly, and it is because of Kelly and Betsy. We are so grateful for Willow Brook and the owners. I wish we could relive this day over and over again! All of our guests complimented how wonderful the venue is. You will not regret having your wedding at Willow Brook!

We had such an incredible experience having our wedding at the Barn at Willow Brook! Betsy and her husband are absolutely lovely and working with them felt very much like you're at home with family. Betsy truly went above and beyond to help our vision come to life. She helped us find a florist at the last minute for their beautiful new pergola. The barn and the rest of the spaces are beautiful and so well decorated. Our guests kept telling us how beautiful the venue was. The bridal suite and groom’s cottage was perfect for our groups to get ready, they truly thought of every detail. We would have our wedding here over and over again!

This wedding venue is absolutely stunning. When this family created this venue they literally thought of everything you could need or want! I’m so happy we chose this venue and was able to work so closely with this family. I am so grateful for Kelly and Betsy for all their help during our planning process and the day of the wedding. Everything went so flawless thanks to the team at Willow Brook. My husband and I will forever be grateful for Betsy and Kelly for helping us have our dream wedding!

We got married here in August 2021 and it was absolutely perfect! The barn is GORGEOUS, both inside and outside and we are obsessed with the wall of windows that allowed for all the natural light! Betsy and Daryl were so supportive and helpful throughout all of our planning and helped make sure the day of went as smoothly as possible. We loved every moment of our wedding and couldn’t have imagined having it anywhere but Willow Brook!

The Barn At Willow Brook is the perfect venue! We booked WB before the barn was fully built. After viewing a couple of barns in NOVA, we met Betsy and Daryl and had no reservations about booking WB without it even being complete. They are the kindest most thoughtful people we have had the joy of meeting in recent years and know we will stay in touch for years to come. We had to re-book our wedding for a new date because of COVID and these two could not have been more accommodating. The space/venue itself is stunning on a dirt road just outside of charming Leesburg downtown. The barn looks like something out of Chip and Jo's Magnolia Home. Groomsman and bridesmaid suites left nothing to be desired and the scenery speaks for itself. One of my favorite parts about WB other than the fantastic owners was how much is "included" in your booking. The barn could easily be just a barn but Betsy and Daryl have invested in pulling out all the stops to make it gorgeous- from greenery on the chandeliers to drapes to soften the ceiling look, this is all stuff you normally would have to purchase separately but I love that they have it. They also provided many tables and wine barrels for decor as well as gorgeous gold chivari chairs. You would be remiss if you did not go visit this venue and meet the WB team!

My husband and I cannot stop talking about our wedding day! It was a taste of heaven and Betsy and Darryl made our day so special. Their property at Willow Brook is immaculate: both elegant and cozy. The landscaping and decor is like something out of Home and Gardens. Their attention to the small details show their passion for curating a wedding day that fits the style of the couple. One of the best parts was the relationship formed with Betsy and Darryl leading up to the wedding. They are incredibly gracious with their time and resources. Betsy is so quick to respond to even the smallest questions and requests. I will continue to recommend this venue for years to come because I know the qualtiy of experience guests are sure to receive at the Barn at Willow Brook.

This venue was not only the most beautiful venue I have ever seen, but the owners went above and beyond in every aspect. The Barn at Willow Brook is clean, classy, and absolutely dreamy. As the role of the bride, I had the upmost trust in this venue and the owners throughout our entire time working together. I’m not sure how to put into words how phenomenal The Barn at Willow Brook. Every detail including the bridal suite, groom suite, landscaping, and property is thought out and stunning. If I had to do it all over again I would choose The Barn at Willow Brook every time. The owners at The Barn at Willow Brook have truly created the perfect space to have the most special day.

the most beautiful venue run by the sweetest people!!

Bottom line - 10/10 recommend WillowBrook for any couple looking for a venue!! We can’t say enough great things about our experience. We couldn’t have picked a better venue for our special day, the barn at WillowBrook was above and beyond anything we expected! The owners responsiveness, flexibility, and attention to detail is what contributed to making this such a great experience. The venue speaks for itself with how gorgeous it is. Everything from the landscaping, the lighting, the decor inside, the huge windows, the bride/groom suites - every detail is accounted for to make your day as beautiful as possible.

This venue is the total package! You get a stunning venue, an incredibly kind-hearted family, a gorgeous property, and as much or as little help as you need. I could never possibly imagine getting married at any other location. I remember watching this venue being built and imagining how perfect it would turn out. The property is breathtaking already and the Maddens are constantly making it more beautiful, which I didn’t know was possible. From the very beginning, like the second I met Betsy, she treated our family like we were her own. Everyone goes above and beyond to help make your dream day appear before your eyes. They are so incredibly supportive and appreciate all the little things that help create your magical day. The amazing bridal suite is perfect for all the ladies to get ready in the morning and has plenty of space for hair & make-up. My husband and his groomsmen loved having their separate space at the property and my nephews loved the shuffleboard table. The barn itself is striking and an amazing backdrop for photos. Inside the barn all my guests were able to be comfortable throughout the day and into the night. There is not enough time or space to write how incredible this venue and this family is. They have made my husband and I feel like party of their family. If you are looking to get married here, DO IT. I promise you will not regret it.

The Barn at Willow Brook is the most beautiful venue I have ever seen!!!! Everything about the venue is absolutely perfect: the location, the beautiful bridal suite and the luxurious groomsmen suite, and the stunning white barn itself with all the natural light and greenery and decor. Not only was the venue a vision, but Betsy and Kelly and the rest of the Madden family have the kindest hearts and helped us make our dream wedding come into reality. They were always looking to lend a helping hand and my husband and I are forever grateful for the Madden family. Thank you, Betsy, Kelly, and the Madden family! Our hearts are so happy to have beautiful memories we will cherish forever of getting married at the Barn at Willow Brook!!

I am so incredibly grateful for Betsy and her family at Willow Brook for all of their help, and for creating such a gorgeous venue space for couples! This was the first thing we booked when planning our July 3rd wedding, and from day 1 we had felt like family. Betsy is so easy to work with, and incredibly kind. When I was stuck and didn't know where to look for vendors, Betsy was so gracious in helping with suggestions that fit our overall theme, style, and budget for our wedding. The venue is absolutely beautiful, and all of my guests had a wonderful time!

The Maddens are definitely people you want to have in your life. They treat your special day as if it’s their own and never make you feel as though you’re asking for too much. Now their venue - I don’t think I’ve ever fallen in love with a place so quickly. All the natural light streaming into the barn could make the rainiest day seem bright. The decor is simple and elegant, but still very impactful. Their bride and groom suites are literally the perfect places to prep for your big day; they have everything you need, the decor is perfect for pictures, and the convenience of being right next to the barn definitely eases stress. My husband and I have already talked about wanting to go back to celebrate future significant events there if they’ll let us. Thank you, Willow Brook, for making our best day so perfect!

First off, I cannot say enough amazing things about Betsy. From the day my husband & I toured to the venue to even weeks after the wedding, she has been there for us. (She even saved our cake top that we forgot and kept it in the fridge, I mean c'mon!!) From helping with vendor suggestions to getting me through COVID, she is an angel from above. She maintained a positive outlook and literally has been available at the drop of a hat, you can tell this is her life's calling. She always was genuine, heartfelt and gave us advice I could never have gotten elsewhere. Her husband (Daryl) & daughter (Kelly) are spectacular additions to her team. Daryl does such a beautiful job maintaining the property and even hung out with me and my dad as we were waiting to walk down the aisle LOL! Kelly has this special presence of calmness and security that makes you feel so cared for and loved. You truly feel like part of the Madden family the second you step on the property. The pictures do not do the venue justice, all my guests were talking about how beautiful our venue was and we're still on cloud 9! From the huge groom's quarters to the girly & stunning bridal suite, it is really so easy to coordinate the actual wedding day having everyone in one location. I cannot recommend WB enough and you really do become part of the family. We are so grateful for the entire team at Willow Brook and feel blessed to have found the perfect venue for our perfect day. Thank you Madden Family!!!!

We do not even know where to start with how amazing the Barn at Willowbrook is, and how lucky we are we got to spend our special day at such an amazing venue! From the moment we saw the barn, we fell in love. Not only is the barn beautiful, but the groomsman and bridesmaid suites, their home, and the grounds. Betsy, Darryl, & Kelly were there for every question we had supported us like family from the beginning. We HIGHLY recommend using Kelly as your day of coordinator. She did everything possible to make sure everything went smoothly and perfect. We could not imagine spending our wedding at any other venue, with any other amazing family! Sarah & Brandan

We got married at The Barn at Willow Brook in May 2021 on a beautiful Spring day. The barn is so beautiful inside and out and we got plenty of compliments from our guests for the venue. In addition, the groomsmen quarters and the bridal suite were a hit with the whole bridal party. It was so nice having a large and tastefully decorated place for our entire crew to get ready. The boys especially loved the shuffleboard and sauna in their area! In addition, Betsy and her whole family are super sweet and really make you feel part of the Willow Brook family. Betsy was there for you every step of the way and was always happy to give you tips and advice on anything you may need with the crazy wedding planning process. The property itself is gorgeous and they are continuing to add to it each and every day. We can't wait to come back and see all their new additions in the future!

The Barn at Willow Brook was the PERFECT venue for our wedding! Betsy and Daryl were the absolute perfect hosts for us, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish they were accommodating,flexible, and more than kind. I would highly recommend! Thank you for building such a beautiful place for our dream of a wedding, we can’t thank you enough! The Johnsons

We had our wedding at the Barn at Willow Brook on May 1st, 2021. The venue is so beautiful, we had several guests comment that it is one of the best venues they’ve been to. The Willow Brook family are the easiest, most genuine, empathetic, and accommodating people to work with. They made our dream wedding a reality. I cannot thank them enough. They addressed all of my questions and worries in a timely manner and provided so much support, which was much appreciated especially with planning during the pandemic. Their positive attitude and attentiveness helped make the wedding planning process a lot less stressful. Thank you Betsy, Daryl, and Kelly for all your love and support.
