Voted "Inn with the Best Wedding Arrangements in the Nation" by Arrington’s B& B Journal, the scene is straight out of an old screenplay. Imagine riding up in a horse-drawn carriage to The Black Horse Inn, and it’s elegant, mansion-style reception facility, The Gilded Fox with seating for 200 guests. The Inn offers eight rooms with private baths, overlooking breath-taking panoramic views of thoroughbreds grazing in pastures. Perfect for bridal photography is a grand wedding gazebo, magnificent porticos, stone fireplaces, stately flagstone terraces and a picturesque pond and bridge. The Inn takes pride in giving brides a tasteful, elegant atmosphere in which to hold a reception lasting the whole weekend, rather than just a few hours.
