Briar Patch Bed and Breakfast Inn, will be hosting a Mother's Day brunch as well as Mother's Day dinner on Sunday, May 9, 2010. We will be teaming with R&R Catering, who last season became the caterers at FedEx Stadium for the Redskins.

If you would like to make a reservation for the brunch or dinner, please call 703-327-5911 or email us at info@BriarPatchBandB.com. Yesterday, R&R did a terrific tasting at Briar Patch for over a hundred prospective brides and grooms.
During the past few months, Better Events and Celebrations Catering have also sponsored successful and wonderful tastings at Briar Patch. Many other caterers have also done weddings and other events at Briar Patch and most are listed on our vendors page. Below are some great photos from the Better Events tasting.
We hope to add special holiday and other event meals to our offerings at Briar Patch, so we look forward to your joining us.
Though many of you are familiar with the human side of Briar Patch, I'd like to introduce you to our extended animal family. As a pet friendly bed and breakfast, how could we not have a few critters of our own?
Briar Patch is home to a small, sweet and semi-timid feline population. Sweetie, the black and white above, can be counted on to greet our guests even as his little kitty companions run away. Those of you visiting with your dogs, however, which we encourage and love, fear not! Our cats learned long ago that canines can't be trusted and will scatter to the wind when they sense one is nosing about. Though strictly outdoor animals, don't be surprised to see faces like little Callie's below watching you as you eat your breakfast (they're just waiting for their own). For those of you having or attending a wedding here, our resident horses will be happy to pose for a picture with you, provided you have apple or carrot in hand! With ample acreage to roam, I had to take paparazzi pictures from afar today, but when guests are around, the horses don't stray far from the fence line. This is just a taste of some our animal friends here - keep an eye out and you'll see all aspects of nature , from sightings of deer, bears, foxes, and even the occasional ground hog sitting on our patio furniture.
As we look back on more than fifty successful events hosted at Briar Patch Bed and Breakfast Inn this past season, we are delighted to announce that we received this year's Bride's Choice Award by Wedding Wire!
