Starting with the good — and a huge shoutout to the amazing staff at Barley! We had our wedding here and worked mostly with Kelly, who was absolutely fabulous. I truly couldn’t hav...
e planned this wedding without her. She was organized, kind, and incredibly detail-oriented. An absolute dream to work with — Barley Sheaf is lucky to have her. The grounds are stunning and so picturesque. Everything went smoothly during both the ceremony and reception, thanks to Kelly and the rest of the team.
Now, why I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5:
When we originally booked in 2024, Barley was under different ownership. The previous owners were warm, attentive, and made us feel seen and respected — it was actually a major reason we chose the venue. A few months after we booked, new management took over. Unfortunately, we didn’t feel the same warmth or attentiveness from the new owner, Theresa. I don’t know if I said or did something wrong that offended her during planning, but we often felt like she was standoffish and uninterested in making us feel welcome. As wonderful as our wedding turned out, we left the next morning feeling a bit deflated because of how we were treated by her.
A few specific issues:
After the rehearsal, we were allowed to check in early — great! We wanted to nap before the dinner, but noticed a stained comforter (blood or rust). We asked for clean bedding at the front desk. After 45 minutes with no response, we followed up. Theresa came to the room and explained that the cleaning crew was busy prepping for a wedding that night. While that’s understandable, we were confused why she couldn’t just bring fresh sheets herself — we were happy to make the bed.
Also, the air conditioning was stuck on freezing. When I mentioned it, she was dismissive and told us she didn’t know when maintenance would arrive. Her attitude felt cold — not what you expect from someone running a wedding venue.
On the wedding day: We got ready in the barn and had access to the bridal suite for one hour. After getting ready, we had no one to help move our things from the barn to the suite. We were shocked — especially with the time crunch and amount of stuff we had to move. We asked for help and were told, “Usually the bridal party takes care of that.” My bridal party included only my mother, MIL (both over 70), my MOH, and a friend who was 30+ weeks pregnant. My MOH had to run up and down the stairs multiple times and was dripping with sweat. We are all in our 30s and have been a part of multiple weddings and have never experienced something like that at another venue. It felt like staff should’ve recognized the limitations of our group and offered help — instead, we were met with attitude.
Lastly, Theresa was barely present the entire day. Past reviews under old ownership raved about how involved and supportive the owners were during weddings. Maybe she was working behind the scenes, but from our perspective, she never checked in or made us feel celebrated. We didn’t feel like she cared — and definitely didn’t feel like the bride and groom that day by how we were treated.

ly kind and the property is gorgeous. The team was so helpful and communicative while helping us plan our wedding during the year ahead of our big day. Huge shout out to Abbey and Kelly!! They made us feel so confident that our wedding day would go wonderfully. There was rain in the forecast all week before our wedding, and the team ensured they had several back up plans if we could not go with plan A of having our ceremony outside. Thankfully we were able to go with plan A, which was a dream!
Our wedding day was absolutely amazing. My husband and I felt so well taken care of. We knew that the staff and our day of coordinator Kelly had everything under control. All of the staff is incredibly nice and hospitable. The overall service was outstanding! Melissa is also amazing to work with for all your inn needs. All of the food was so delicious. We were told by several guests that it was the best wedding dinner they’ve ever had.
Thank you for making our wedding dreams come true! I would highly recommend getting married at the Inn at Barley Sheaf! I hope I can attend another wedding there soon! ❤️

We are still sitting here trying to figure out how to profusely thank the team at Barley Sheaf and the words just don't exist. From our first visit through the post-wedding, the en...
tire team went so above and beyond. They made us feel comfortable, excited, at home, and like we weren’t just faceless clients.
Barley Sheaf was the first venue we visited and right away we were in awe. The outdoor space was gorgeous and the barn was the perfect blend of contemporary and rustic. Even after seeing 12 other spaces, Barley Sheaf never left our minds. One of the things we loved most was that Barley Sheaf isn’t cookie cutter. They had great plans in place, but were open to our concerns and suggestions and allowed us to really make the space our own.
Our planner, Kelly, truly knocked it out of the park and made us feel so supported along the way. She was always responsive and addressed every question/concern no matter how small. We are both professional event planners and are admittedly a little intense, so we thank her for bearing with us and guiding us and hopefully having a bit of fun with us! Our wedding day would not have been the day it was without her care.
We keep hearing over and over how insanely beautiful the venue was and just how nice all of the staff was—especially the servers who catered to our mothers. The food was DELICIOUS. We were so thrilled that the team took our special requests, like making a matzoh ball soup shooter for our guests at cocktails. It’s that level of care and attention to detail that took our day to the next level.
We're sure we'll be back since we've fallen in love with the Inn.

verjoyed by the warm welcome we received from the staff. The historic ambiance and beautiful scenery added to the list of reasons we decided to plan our special day here. From the beginning of the planning process up until we checked out the morning after our wedding, it was an overall 10/10 experience. The food is excellent, staff is amazing to work with, and everyone makes you feel like you are right at home. A few special shout outs:
To Kelly who answered my (many) questions and helped us bring our dream wedding into a reality! You are a rockstar and we truly appreciate everything.
To Melissa who worked with us to accomodate our guests, answer lodging questions, and helped ensure each of our guests had a cozy place to stay for the weekend.
And to the entire Barley Sheaf staff for your generous hospitality, amazing food, and overall fantastic service.

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

We rented out the full inn with our family and wedding party for a long weekend and enjoyed delicious breakfasts, swam in the pool and loved gathering together. By the time we left, we felt at home and like part of the family. We cannot recommend this venue enough!!

FIVE STARS. Can’t recommend The Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm enough for your wedding! We had a 60 person wedding on a Thursday night in October at Barley Sheaf and it was absolutely wo...
nderful. The ambiance was perfect, we loved the foliage all around and the natural beauty of the venue. When we were first looking for a venue we toured Barley Sheaf with Mark, one of the owners, and he was lovely. We loved the historical vibe and that they have rescue farm animals on site. We had brunch there to try the food (which was amazing!) before deciding to book. We loved that the venue provides day-of-coordination and helps with some planning beforehand, they provided vendor recommendations and we had several meetings with them throughout our wedding planning process. They were quick to respond to emails and very organized!
Our day was seamless no doubt thanks to Kelly, our coordinator. Everyone we worked with there was great. All night people kept saying Melissa was amazing as well :) We loved that the venue also provides food so we didn’t have to find a caterer. And they are a bed and breakfast so my husband and I and some of our guests could stay onsite and didn’t need to drive to another hotel after. For the wedding Barley Sheaf also supplies linens, glassware, tableware, and mixers. For the bar we had to provide liquor, champagne, beer/wine, but that actually helped us save money rather than paying for a bar package with another venue or caterer. We also loved that seasonal beverages were provided as welcome drinks to greet the guests as they arrived for the ceremony, we thought that was a really nice touch! Right after my husband and I walked back down the aisle finally married, our coordinator Kelly greeted us with our signature drinks to kick off cocktail hour. During cocktail hour almost every waiter checked in with my husband and I to see if they could get us anything, it was so considerate and they really went the extra mile. We opted for the breads and spreads and meat & cheese stations for cocktail hour which were a hit. My husband said the homemade tortilla chips were to die for.
Along with 2 stations during cocktail hour, we also got 6 passed hors d'oeuvres. We opted for red pepper soup shooters, bbq shrimp on polenta cake, mini crab cakes, mini cheesesteaks, spinach spanakopita, and 5-spice duck on a cracker with pear miso butter. Every hors d'oeuvre was amazing, everyone had a different favorite! The spanakopita was really popular among the vegetarians. My personal favorites were the duck and red pepper soup shooters, and my husband loved the cheesesteak and crabcakes. For dinner we chose a choice of roasted chicken with roasted brussels sprouts and potatoes, herb risotto cake with goat cheese and red pepper wontons, and braised short ribs with mashed potatoes and haricot verts. Everything was phenomenal. My husband had the short ribs, I had the herb risotto cake, and then we split a plate of chicken. At the tasting I thought the herb risotto cake was perfect, but then at the wedding when I had the chicken… The chicken was insanely good. I don’t even like short ribs but the short ribs were also excellent.
Overall everyone was great to work with, very accommodating, very considerate. We already want to go back to stay the night for our one year anniversary. Thank you to everyone at Barley Sheaf for making our wedding a dream and stress-free.

I’m going to try to keep this review short because I know when wedding planning time is of the essence, but it will be hard to do because there are so many positives to note about ...
having your wedding at the Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm.
Before the wedding:
The Barley Sheaf is a truly beautiful property - idyllic, historical and tucked away on a lovely piece of land. It makes you feel like you’re transported to another place far away from Pennsylvania. Off that beauty alone it would be easy to book, but what sold us was that this is a family-owned property. Deena and Mark truly treat you like a part of their family and you can see their pride in this space. This is evident from your first visit. Their attention to detail and their kindness did not go unnoticed especially compared to other venues we saw that felt more cold and commercial.
Mark and Deena are supported by a rockstar team. The event planning team at the Barley Sheaf is always available whenever you need them. We moved only a few months ahead of the wedding and they helped ease my stresses from afar! It felt like a true partnership. I also want to shout out Melissa who helps with lodging.
During your wedding:
Where do I begin! There were a few key reasons we picked this spot for our big day- one was that we appreciated that you could stay on the property and get ready there. This meant that both of our immediate families and my side of the bridal party could stay over which is a breeze logistics wise. We got so many compliments from guests because the Barley Sheaf was unlike anywhere they had ever stayed before - each room is different, from the 1700s manor house to the renovated barn and cottages. This sets the stage for your weekend.
Another reason which I mentioned above was the property. Endless options to take the perfect pictures rain or shine and several spots for the ceremony put my mind at ease. We chose to get married out in the field under two big trees and it felt like the perfect garden wedding.
I know people don’t often expect a lot from wedding food but I can confirm as a “picky eater” that everything here is amazing! So many options to choose from, a really generous cocktail hour with plenty of passed options and delicious entrees.
The Barley Sheaf team has a wonderful, collaborative relationship with vendors and I think that is a testament to how professional, kind and efficient they are. I recommend them to any couple and can confirm it was the best choice we could have made!

They were very flexible (which was so appreciated) and great about addressing any concerns and questions we had. The rest of the team was also wonderful - Kelly and Abbey were so sweet and very responsive in getting back to us throughout the process, and very knowledgable, and the day of the wedding, Reanne was a dream. The weather did not cooperate with us (the morning rain was supposed to clear up by the afternoon, but it poured on the poor staff as they were setting up the cocktail and everything had to be moved inside), but Reanne was totally on top of making sure everything went seamlessly - and it did. The waiters and other staff the day of the event were professional and efficient (I was not even aware of problems as they arose, which is the real test!). The food was really wonderful and plentiful and the venue is beautiful (even indoors!). Really wonderful experience.

I can't say enough good things about the Inn at Barley Sheaf and their staff. They made our wedding dreams come true and were there to help, every step of the way!! They answered e...
very single question I had within a couple hours usually (24 hours max) and helped with planning SO much that it was a breeze to plan my own wedding with no planner. The weekend of our wedding, they were always there to help and went above and beyond! They even delivered water + leftover pizza to the after- after party (in one of their rooms). One of the main reasons we picked this venue was because we had gone to a wedding here before and were blown away with it and the food!! After our own wedding, I can say that so many guests are still raving about the food and the day!! Another major selling point is that there are 16 rooms onsite so you + bridal party/family can stay on site. The rooms are GORGEOUS and it is SO nice to have the inn to yourself. It really feels like it's you're the only one getting married on the day. The grounds are also gorgeous and amazing for pictures. It did rain the morning of our wedding but the backup plan was just as good as getting married outside. The workers are doing this job because they LOVE it and you can tell. They go above and beyond for you and it makes it so special. I would honestly change nothing about my wedding day and a lot of that is due to everything that the staff at the Inn at Barley Sheaf.

There was always a helping hand available when you needed it and their professionalism with the ability to connect with their bride and groom for the night were extremely impressive.

And they have a wedding events planning team that are all in the know and working with you the whole time. The whole events team is so helpful but throughout the process you are assigned a point person that leads the charge with helping you plan. Ours was Abbey and she was absolutely amazing! Abbey came in on the morning of our wedding, even though she doesn't usually work Saturdays to make sure everything was good for us. Melissa was there throughout the day to help us and she was also absolutely amazing! Barley Sheaf does all the food and provides the option to have the cake from a local baker too! This made it so easy for us to plan from afar as we live in Los Angeles! Everything was so magical and we had the wedding of our dreams thanks to Barley Sheaf!!!

It’s been ~3 weeks since our BIG day at Barley Sheaf. We found them through YouTube videos of past weddings and fell in love with the flexibility they offered us. We initially emai...
led back and forth with Mark, the owner, along with his wife Deena, then set up a walk-through meeting. From their large wedding planning team, we worked most closely with Abbey. Abbey came prepared on the first visit with loads of questions, timelines, offerings. For someone who was planning my own wedding without a Planner, Abbey was a tremendous help. They are tried and true in planning different sizes of events, and on any day of the week. Ultimately, we chose a Tuesday for a smaller-sized wedding, the majority of guests were able to stay within the BnB.
A few months before the big day, we attended a menu tasting with ~7 other couples, our (bride+groom) costs were included in the overall wedding and we brought two guests (who we paid for). The meals and tastings were delicious, and very accommodating to all our allergies. Although we had a small wedding, we had all the allergies, all guests were raving about the attention to detail the staff and waiters had the night of our wedding (from gluten free to tree-nut free to no-garlic and more!). Huge shout out to the amazing and attentive staff and Deena, who was around all day and night for the wedding.
As the official wedding day came closer, we planned another walk through of the Inn and grounds with Abbey and our photographer. Being able to walk through and envision the day of the itinerary helped me calm my concerns and worries. For the actual wedding, we drove in our decor and beverages, Abbey and Kelly were our go-to helpers for arranging items, storing boxes, and helping transform our months-long planning process into a reality.
The guests, and the wedding party, arrived the day before. We enjoyed complimentary breakfast at the restaurant on Tuesday, and Wednesday (after the wedding). The breakfasts are made to order so plan for 45-60 minutes, but delicious with many options (and, of course, great attention and accommodation with allergies).
Would I have done anything differently? If I had more guests, an official wedding planner to help coordinate and bring in rental decor may have helped, but I absolutely loved our small, intimate wedding which encompassed us as a couple. Thank you Mark, Deena, Abbey, Kelly and the entire team!

ou ended up heaving bad weather you would not be disappointed. We currently live out of state and I was a bit stressed about having to plan everything remotely, but the Inn is very hands on with the planning process and designates a lead planner from their team for you. Melissa was our designated coordinator/planner and she was great throughout all of the planning. They really take as much stress out of the process as possible for you. I didn't have a separate wedding planner and I think it is very do-able to do without one given how helpful they are. They collect every detail they could possible need from you in advance to make sure the day goes perfect so there are really no stresses for you day of. The food was also amazing and servers/staff are top notch. Definitely recommend!

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

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

The Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm was amazing. We were a COVID couple so we had to reschedule and everything that goes with that. But the BSF was so great to work with and make sure it ...
was as stress free as possible.
We had an absolutely gorgeous wedding. They took such stride’s to care for my parents (who are older and have serious health issues ) to make sure they were comfortable and able to be part of everything. It really meant so much to me.
The food was delicious, the venue is so beautiful and the staff is beyond compare. We had the wedding of our dreams.

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

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

Barley is the only place I would recommend to hold a wedding. From the first time we stepped foot on the property, we felt like a part of the Barley family. Mark and Deena were not...
pushy in getting us to choose them as our venue, but we are so happy we did. They truly treat each of their couples like they are their only clients, and they always have your best interest in mind. Obviously the property, grounds, and food are all amazing, but the reason we chose Barley was because of how caring Mark and Deena are. We were originally booked with them for an April 2020 wedding, which had to be postponed because of COVID. I think they were the only venue who actually cared about their 'covid' couples and made sure everyone was taken care of before taking on any new business for 2021. I don't know what we would have done without them. They made a stressful situation so easy and smooth. And when we finally did get our big celebration they handled everything with ease. Deena and her team have thought of everything before you even need to worry about it. They also kept everyone safe and healthy with proper COVID precautions. I think we may need to have our 5 year anniversary party here to celebrate again! :)

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

I don't even know where to begin when reviewing how amazing our wedding was at The Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm! We hosted our rehearsal dinner, wedding, and next-day brunch at BSF. Th...
ey have a team of truly caring and talented people, and I am not saying that lightly. Deena is an actual rock star at remembering all of the details and coordinating all of the many, many aspects of the wedding. Her follow-through is incredible and she always had her own suggestions that took our day over the top! Her husband, Mark, was an equal joy to work with who puts so much care into everything he does. And they do it all with such grace - my husband and I hope to grow up to be Deena and Mark! Christina was another coordinator on their team who is just so good at what she does! She answered my many phone calls where I would reach out stressed out about this or that and every time I spoke with her she eased my concerns and we ended each phone call laughing and in high spirits.
We are a Covid couple so there were date changes, safety changes, and endless unique challenges posed by this. BSF was so on top of the state’s guidelines and did everything possible to ensure the safety of our guests. Everyone at the wedding appreciated all of the precautions the venue took and at the end of the day, our guests were safe and still had an absolute blast!
But mostly - the food was INCREDIBLE! Way beyond any food I have had at the endless weddings I have been to. We did a split plate of braised short ribs and scallops. Every guest remarked on the food for all three events we had at the venue. My husband is still talking about the grilled caesar salad we had at the rehearsal dinner. Huge props to their kitchen staff - just wow!
And lastly, the venue itself is beautiful and allows for endless options for stunning photography. We originally planned for a summer wedding - envisioning it to be green and full of naturally blooming flowers. Because of Covid we had to move it to the beginning of April. I was worried the barren trees would look bland in photographs but I am happy to report I was wrong! The venue is equally suitable for an early spring/winter wedding. It ended up looking absolutely magical.
If amazing food, a spectacular team, and a beautiful venue are for you - book The Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm! I hope to host many events there in the years to come!

Our cocktail hour was right outside the restaurant which had a beautiful green scenery with a hint of the historical building. The reception area can either be in the newly renovated barn or a beautiful tent. We had our reception in the tent and it was so magical! The rooms were magnificent, stuff you see in a fairy tail! The food is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Hands down, the best food I have ever had at a wedding! So happy we went with Barley for our wedding venue!!!!!!!

ts provided the perfect picturesque backdrop for an outdoor tented wedding. With the current restrictions and health and safety guidelines to move outdoors, Deena, Mark and staff quickly transitioned our vision to a beautiful tented intimate wedding. The wedding day was seamless and exceeded our expectations.
From the attentive professional staff to the phenomenal farm to table dinner, no detail was left out.
From day one, we were treated like family and any questions or concerns were answered and put to rest. The owners are on site and working throughout the evening to ensure everyone’s needs are met. How impressive!
From start to finish, this day was magnificent. Our family continues to rave about the beauty of the farm and the great celebration that was had by all.

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

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

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

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

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

We’d like to thank Mark, Deena, Reeanne, Abbey, Josh, and the rest of the Barley Sheaf staff for everything. We are so grateful that we were able to have our wedding at such a wonderful venue, it was simply an unforgettable, dream-like experience.

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

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

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

We are from Boston and our daughter and her husband live in the Bucks County area. Their favorite place for dinner, and brunch, is the Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm. So when they got ...
engaged in February of 2017 there was no question this was their top choice for a venue. In addition to the AMAZING food, the rustic ambiance, and the beautiful grounds, they were equally impressed with the staff who go "over the top" to please their guests. But the connection they felt with the owners, Mark and Deena, truly sealed the deal. When my husband and I came out for the informational tour we understood immediately why she chose the Inn at Barley Sheaf. Mark and Deena were experienced, professional, organized, and knowledgeable in every facet of the planning stage. (The rehearsal dinner and Sunday brunch took place at the Inn as well.)They know what works and what doesn't and provide assistance every step of the way. They're extremely responsive and able to customize based on their clients' needs. As the mother of the bride I can truthfully say we were never concerned how the weekend would go; we had tremendous confidence in the owners and their staff. No stress and no worries - everything went like clockwork! From the outdoor ceremony, to the cocktail hour on the deck, from the main event to the after party, and then finally the farewell brunch on Sunday. To quote our daughter and her husband " It was perfection. We wouldn't have changed a thing!" The only thing my husband and I would have done differently is to stay Sunday night (after everyone left!) but we had to head home. Can't wait to go back for dinner next time we're in town.

I wish that I could give the Barley Sheaf venue, wedding team, restaurant and staff overall a million star review, because five stars is just not enough to rate our experience. The...
moment my husband and I had our first dinner at the Barley Sheaf over a year and a half ago we immediately knew that when we were ready to get married it would have to be here. Not only are the grounds something out of a fairy tale, but the food is outstanding. We loved the Barley Sheaf Farm so much that we also decided to have our rehearsal dinner and after wedding brunch there as well! From the moment we sat down with Deena and Mark to map out how we envisioned our special day to be, everything was smooth sailing as we were in expert hands. Mark and Deena were with us every single step of the way, along with their AMAZING planning team. The entire Barley Sheaf team consistently made us feel like we were a part of their family and they were just as invested with our big day as we were. Mark, Deena and the entire BSF team were ALWAYS going above and beyond to make sure our big day (and rehearsal dinner) went off without a hitch. They were with us throughout the entire process, start to finish and consistently made us feel like no phone call or question was ever an inconvenience (and trust me we had a TON). I loved how I never had to feel stressed about how our rehearsal dinner would run or what would happen on the day of our wedding, as I knew they had it handled. And boy was I right, as our day was nothing short of PERFECTION because of the BSF team. Both myself and my husband felt like we could just relax and enjoy our wedding day because we were in such great hands. Our family and friends spent the entire wedding weekend at the Barley Sheaf from our rehearsal dinner, to the wedding day, and then our morning after brunch. Every single guest of ours could not stop raving about the wonderful time they had, how attentive the staff was, how incredible the food each day had been, and how they wanted to come back and book another stay to enjoy all the Barley Sheaf has to offer, because they couldn't get enough. I could go on for days about our exceptional experience with Mark and Deena and the entire BSF team who made our wedding a dream come true, because the truth is there is no one out there like this team who is going to care more, work harder, go as above and beyond to bring your wedding day vision to life more than this team. Mark and Deena are two of the most genuine, sincere, and kind hearted people that I know and it shows with how much their staff, vendors, wedding couples and guests love them. Throughout our entire wedding journey Mark and Deena have become like second parents to us, and the team like our own family. We will forever cherish the memories the BSF team was able to help us create for the most important day of our lives. We are forever grateful and would without a doubt recommend this venue to every single couple out there looking for a magical wedding day you just cannot get anywhere else.

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

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