Ten Sites That Take You Away

The Ideal wedding-reception site can be as elusive as the ideal mate--or so it may seem...Only couples searching for over-the-top elegance will consider this Inn. Complete with pillars and porches, the handsome 19th century inn presides over 20 acres of rolling hills. Most popular of six wedding packages is the two night option. You get: two hours of wedding planning; use of the entire inn, including eight bedrooms, each with private bath; the magnificent grounds, including a gazebo in the boxwood garden (excellent for ceremonies) and the garden terrace (perfect for cocktails); and the Gilded Fox wedding hall whose French doors open to a flagstone terrace and overlook topiaries and gardens...

Washington Life Magazine recognized the Black Horse Inn as "One of Twenty Perfect Places to Hold Your Wedding Reception". The Inn was featured with other prominent wedding reception facilities including The Ritz-Carlton, The Four Seasons Hotel, The Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Congressional Country Club, The Mayflower Hotel and others in the Washington metropolitan area.
