Black Horse Manor
An 1850s Estate with a New Ballroom.
Warrenton, VA
The ballroom added onto the back runs 60 by 100, built for 400. Twelve guest rooms in the inn hold the wedding party overnight. The reception ends when the last guests walk upstairs.
Stone, Timber, and Open Country
Stone chimneys, heavy timber, century-old oaks at the ceremony grounds. The facade you see is the facade 1850s guests saw. Hunt Country's oldest operating estate in the collection.

Multiple siting options across the fields, from intimate clusters of fifty to full assemblies of three hundred. Rolling pasture runs to the horizon in every direction, so the ceremony needs no built backdrop. Your guests arrive to a view, not a setup.

“Black Horse Manor exceeded every expectation. We loved how it blended historic charm with modern comfort. The stone details and ceremony grounds felt timeless, while the ballroom and inn gave our guests every convenience. Having our families stay on-site meant we were together from rehearsal dinner through brunch the next morning. Our coordinator handled every detail, and we never worried about a thing.”
