Sweeney Barn Reviews

Our wedding at Sweeney was beautiful. Andrea is great to work with and didn't hesitate to help and provide guidance when necessary.

The venue was so beautiful and the staff was so helpful. Andrea was very helpful throughout the entire process!

Sweeney Barn was a dream venue for our wedding! It was the first venue we looked at, and nothing else compared. From the location, to the team of staff lead by Andrea, it was perfect. We loved that we could have our ceremony in the light and airy bottom level, host an indoor/outdoor cocktail hour, and then the reception upstairs in the spacious upper-level barn loft. The venue offers lots of equipment and decor, helping us save $ on decor and rentals. The entire space is gorgeous - guests gave us so many compliments about the venue. The silo staircase was also one of the big selling points for us. Loved the beautiful bridal suite as well! It was just a short drive from several hotels and shopping areas, and right down the road from 2 Silos brewing, where we went for our after party. Andrea and her team were so patient with all of our questions, and coordinated seamlessly with our other vendors. Highly recommend this space for your wedding or other event!

I absolutely love everything about this venue. Andrea, the general manager was so helpful and responsive the whole time, along with her team. The venue itself is so adorable, the atmosphere is so romantic and picturesque. The value of the venue is fantastic for this area. The venue is also conveniently located near hotels and things to do. You definitely get more than you bargain for here. Thank you, Sweeney Barn!

We did not book this venue unfortunately as our date seems to be popular (as well as this venue!) However, our entire experience with this venue and Andrea was phenomenal. She is extremely personable and provided the most thorough information during a walk through that would make the greenest of brides to be, comfortable. She even went out of her way to let us know, post venue tour, that our date has since been booked. Thank you again, Andrea!

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Sweeney Barn! The venue is so beautiful and we loved that we could have our ceremony and reception all indoors but in separate areas. Andrea and Lisa made the whole planning process so easy and we're wonderful to work with as well.

My husband and I could not have imagined having our wedding at any other venue. The different spaces in the venue are gorgeous and you can tell they payed a lot of attention to detail. Given the multiple spaces available, we had our ceremony downstairs and our reception upstairs so it was incredibly convenient for us. The reception space has the most beautiful high ceilings with dreamy chandeliers which made the ambience feel intimate and elegant. The barn style fit our rustic/romantic theme.

Working with the staff was incredibly easy and they were super helpful along the way. Andrea made sure that all our vendors were on the same page and she answered all our questions throughout the process. She ensured that the vendors had a detailed floor plan and was accommodating and updating it when changes were made. She honestly reduced a lot of the stress associated with bringing several vendors together while going over the plan for the wedding day. The venue also offers several other perks such as decor items that they provide which add a nice romantic touch to the space. There is also overnight parking for guests available which is great for guests. We were so happy to have our wedding at Sweeney Barn and will cherish all the beautiful memories we created there forever.

Our daughter's wedding was recently held at the Sweeney Barn. What a fantastic venue with options to have both the ceremony and reception indoors in two different spaces. From the quality of the management to the top quality finishing touches, Sweeney Barn is such a good choice for weddings. We've already recommended it to other friends we know!

The venue is absolutely beautiful and the team is so attentive to creating your unique experience. Everything is right at the barn and ready for you to use to make your day perfect.

My (new) wife and I recently chose Sweeney Barn as the site for our wedding. The location, layout and design elements were simply perfect. From start to finish, the venue and the event team exceeded all of our expectations, and our guests were simply stunned with the "comfortable elegance" of the venue. We could not be happier!

Sweeney Barn is the only venue we toured. Just walking up to it, you will know why. It is absolutely gorgeous! I remember during our tour, I was just in awe about how beautiful it was and on the day of our wedding, I was in even more awe seeing it all decorated for our wedding, it brought tears to my eyes. Sweeney Barn is perfect if you are looking for that barn wedding! It is GORGEOUS, has heating and air conditioning, a nice bathroom, an elevator, and not to mention, so much decor that you are welcome to use for free! Not only is the venue itself amazing, all of the staff is amazing too! Everyone is super friendly and will answer any question you have. We got so many compliments on how beautiful our venue was from our wedding guests!

I could truly write a novel about how much we loved hacing our wedding at Sweeney Barn. This was the very first venue we toured, and from the moment we stepped inside it just felt special. Every single detail is so well thought out and the team at the venue could not be more amazing. Their communication and planning approaches are impeccable and they made us feel like the most important couple in the world! They answered every single question we had and assured us at every step of the way. Our wedding day could not have gone more smoothly largely thanks to the amazing planning and preparation that Andrea and Lisa put in to our event. They worked closely with our coordinator and vendors to make sure everything went to plan. If you are looking for an absolutely breathtaking venue with an amazing team, Sweeney Barn is everything you need.

My husband and I cannot say enough amazing things about Sweeney Barn. When we started touring venues in 2021, we both knew the moment we stepped inside Sweeney Barn that it was the venue for us. From the get go, the level of professionalism is next level and perfect for any couples out there eager to have transparency and easy communication. Although she was not the lead on our wedding day, Andrea, the General Manager, went above and beyond every step of the way. Not only did she help with our own questions or concerns, she would email and communicate with all other vendors and our coordinator to make things as easy and seamless as possible.

Fast forward to our wedding day. Although we only got married a week ago, 10/29/22, our guests and family members have not stopped RAVING about our wedding venue and how spectacular everything looked. Several have even told us it was "the most fun wedding they've ever been to" - which was the exact vibe we wanted and SB nailed it perfectly!

Another appeal and factor in our decision was the location! Sweeney Barn is a perfect location if, like us, you have lots of out of town guests and relatives. We were able to book multiple nearby hotel blocks and utilize a transportation service for a 10-15 min shuttle to and from the venue. There's a huge parking lot that guests are able to park and leave cars overnight as well. It made us happy knowing everyone could feel centralized and be able to spend time together, even outside of our wedding venue. We also were then able to use 2 Silos on the same road for our rehearsal dinner (cannot rave enough about the Black Sheep Restaurant as well) and to hang out with family & friends the day before.

Regardless of the weather or season, SB is a perfect venue that checks all the boxes. I was so thrilled that we had the most gorgeous fall day, and we took advantage of the weather with an outdoor ceremony and an incredible outside photo shoot with the fall foliage. Then our guests were able to easily transition into the downstairs hall room for cocktail hour, before proceeding upstairs for the reception.

Everything was clean, professional, and above and beyond our expectations. As the bride, I had a little "behind the scenes" sneak peak watching everything get set up by the staff and catering team, yet was still blown away by the vision they pulled together by the time of the reception.

I'd give 10 stars if I could!

Andrea and the Sweeney Barn Team were absolutely delightful to work with as we prepared for our fall wedding. Wedding planning may be stressful, but the punctual, responsive, and thoughtful folks at Sweeney made our lives easy.

We booked the venue sight un-seen during the height of the Covid pandemic. Andrea offered us an amazing virtual tour and patiently answered all of our questions. Even though we booked our venue almost two years ahead of time, we never felt like an after-thought or a couple that could be answered later. We always felt like a priority. Sweeney is staffed by true professionals. At every turn, Andrea was there to listen to our vision, help us understand how we could achieve it (offering enthusiasm when we could do something, and constructive guidance where we could not).

Their approved vendor list is pretty non-restrictive, and they make allowances for unapproved vendors if they meet criteria that is pretty reasonable. You may even get lucky like we did - our catering company worked with the venue several times between us selecting them and the date of our wedding, so they were added to the approved vendor list ahead of our date and we got the benefit of not having to pay the (nominal and fair) extra fee.

The venue is absolutely gorgeous in person. It offers a modern, yet rustic, look that can frame any event on its own, but is also the perfect canvas to add splashes of your own color and style.

Sweeney Barn also offered several amenities that MANY of the barn/farm venues in VA do not offer: paved roads, functional/nice bathrooms, and access to medical facilities near by in case of an emergency.

Overall, the reason to choose Sweeney Barn is obvious. Come for the looks, but stay for the world-class professional staff.

Sweeney Barn is one of the best venues for a wedding! There’s a gorgeous inside ceremony spot, a great outdoor area for cocktail hour and a breathtaking upstairs reception space. My husband and I knew shortly after our tour that we would choose Sweeney Barn to be our wedding venue. We couldn’t have been happier! Andrea and her team are so kind and communicative and the inside decor is unmatched! I would give more than 5 stars if I could!

Sweeney Barn was the perfect backdrop for our Indian American wedding celebration. We were so happy to have found it. Working with Andrea was a breeze, she was responsive and reliable every step of the way.

Sweeney Barn offered an incredible continuity of service throughout our experience originally booking in 2018 for our initial 2020 reception. They were so helpful and flexible rescheduling us two years in the future (when they were originally offering new 2021 dates). Andrea and her team were so responsive to our millions of questions, and it really was a beautiful day- Sweeney Barn offers so many design details that we needed very little else to style the space. We couldn't recommend them more!

Had my wedding at Sweeney Barn and it was fabulous! Staff were very responsive and professional. The venue is very spacious both indoor and outdoor for our 50guests wedding.
Highly recommend this place.

Sweeney is an absolutely beautiful venue and we are so thrilled to have had our wedding there. Andrea and her staff were there for us with any questions that we had throughout the process and extremely patient with a lot of (and sometimes inadvertently repeated by us) questions. They were also very flexible with some minor layout and timing changes made a little later in the process. Due to rain, we had to make some day-of layout changes and Glynis, the venue's event representative, was extremely helpful getting everything sorted out and was extremely kind and helpful for us. The venue it's is absolutely gorgeous (our guests were obsessed with the silo staircase, which was also awesome for pictures) and we could not be any happier with our choice of venue and would highly recommend Sweeney to anyone.

I barely had to provide any decorations to this venue. It was absolutely stunning and it felt like a dream in the entire time. They had a lot of extra stuff for us, but the bones of this building are just absolutely stunning that you really don't need much. This day will go down as one of my favorite days ever, but Sweeney Barns team made a lot of that happen.

Sweeney Barn was the perfect wedding venue for our dream wedding. The barn itself is gorgeous with so many great details - the beautiful spiral staircase, the high ceilings with chandeliers, the perfect alcove for a sweetheart table. It really made planning decor a breeze! Guests throughout the night mentioned how great Sweeney Barn was. We are so happy we choose Sweeney Barn and absolutely love looking over all the details of the barn in our wedding photos!

Andrea and her staff were amazing! They were so helpful from the very beginning. We requested to see the venue a few times (without and then with parents) and they were so accommodating. As we got closer to the big day, Andrea was so responsive to all our emails. Some of our vendors had a lot of requirements around outlets and space and Andreas was so quick to make the adjustments needed to the layout. We knew if we emailed Andrea, she would respond right away in a very helpful manner! Andrea and her team definitely were a big help in the wedding planning process. We cannot recommend Sweeney Barn enough to brides looking for the perfect venue.

Location was perfect and the venue was absolutely beautiful! Andrea and her team at Sweeney Barn made everything so easy and they were super responsive throughout the process. Highly recommend!

Sweeney Barn is a breathtaking venue. My (now) wife and I were looking for a venue that holds up on its own because we lack decorative skills. We kept our wedding very simple and it turned out to be stunning. We absolutely loved the contrast of the crisp and bright downstairs area for our ceremony with the majestic wood barn structure upstairs for our reception. Our friends and family told us all night how impressed they were when they stepped through the front barn doors. In addition to the stunning structures, Andrea and Meghan are two absolute rockstars. They were communicative, steady, and prepared for everything we asked for. Can't go wrong with Sweeney Barn!

Sweeney Barn was aesthetically our dream venue... but the staff made our day as perfect as could be! Their team answered all of our questions in a timely manner, worked with us as items changed or adjusted throughout the planning process, and flawlessly executed our special day.
