The scene is straight out of an old screenplay. Imagine riding up in a horse-drawn carriage, gathering your petticoats, and delicately floating down the aisle to greet your soon-to-be partner-for-life. The environment is perfect for romance as you are surrounded by the evening starlit sky, incredible landscaping and all your loved ones wishing you well for a lifetime. With its stately white columns, manicured lawns, beautifully appointed gardens and elegant hunt-country décor, this ideal location is an enchanting setting for any bride and groom.
Only 45 minutes from Washington, D.C. in Warrenton, Virginia, the Black Horse Inn offers not only excellent location, but also the charm and romance that make the most beautiful of wedding memories. Situated on 20 rolling acres, horses traditionally “bless” each bride and groom on their wedding day.
Our reception facility, “The Gilded Fox” features a climate–controlled grand ballroom, seating for up to 200 guests, breath-taking panoramic views of horses grazing in pastures, a stone fireplace and a stately flagstone terrace.
The Inn can accommodate up to 30 guests for a cocktail-buffet reception, or an elegant sit-down dinner. The garden terrace features a picturesque pond with a white-picket bridge, overlooking a gentle waterfall. A fountain graces this photogenic location for elegant outdoor events.
Perfect for bridal photography, both candid and posed, the scenic landscape of the Black Horse Inn offers a grand wedding gazebo and a magnificent portico. The gazebo completes the picturesque setting for wedding ceremonies, nestled in a gracious boxwood garden under a canopy of century-old trees.
Gracious sitting porches surround the Black Horse Inn, and each have glass panels to accommodate guests during inclement weather. Nine rooms, each with a private bath, are available for family, friends or out-of-town guests. Additional accommodations are available nearby for larger wedding parties. The Black Horse Inn takes pride in giving brides an elegant, tasteful atmosphere in which to hold a reception, lasting the whole weekend, rather than just a few hours.
Allow the Black Horse Inn’s staff to take care of your details. Their professionalism and experience are uncompromised and can handle all of your wedding needs.
There are three distinct advantages to reserving the Black Horse Inn for your wedding: 1) When the rooms are included in the package price, your guests payment ($2,550 for one night to $5,100 for two nights) will be deducted from the final bill. 2 ) In-town food and beverage taxes do not apply. 3) Full weekend packages allow for quality relaxation time, rather than traveling to and from event sites.
Two hours of full service wedding planning is available for your convenience. We can assist you in finding local, full-service, event professionals to ensure an unparalleled standard of excellence. This includes photography, cakes, bridal fashions, horse-drawn carriages, day spas and salons, limousine service, flowers and music.

I attended the wedding on June 7, 2009, I wanted to let you know that the experience was spectacular! It was truly a “storybook wedding”. I could not be any happier for my family to pick your venue for their nuptials. Furthermore, your staff really went above and beyond in being available for the wedding party and the guests at the Inn. I am very thankful for them and their service throughout the weekend. They really made our stay relaxing as everything went off without a problem. Thank you again for all your wonderful service. -- Thaddeus June 7, 2009
Lynn and her staff were friendly, professional, and helpful and a real joy to work with. We couldn’t be more pleased with how the planning went. The communication was excellent for all phases of the wedding. We especially appreciated the fact that contingency plans were in place in case they were needed. There were no surprises, no extra costs or charges and that made for a happy bride and groom and parents of the bride and groom. All went as planned. Lynn, you were fabulous! Your warmth and charm made the special day even more special. We won’t forget all your efforts. Fondest regards, -- Angela & John; Jenny & Bob June 27, 2009
