Sweeney Barn: Where Rustic Elegance Meets Modern Luxury
Sweeney Barn, once part of the historic Birkett dairy farm, has been beautifully transformed by owners Alannah and Noel Sweeney into a stunning event space that combines rustic charm with modern elegance. The venue features a two-story gambrel barn with a gleaming white exterior, an attached silo with a graceful spiral staircase, and an interior adorned with blonde wood and stacked stone illuminated by crystal chandeliers.
Set on five acres, Sweeney Barn includes landscaped grounds, an outdoor upper-level deck, and a picturesque garden for outdoor ceremonies. It can accommodate up to 200 guests for seated events and 300 for standing receptions, offering exclusive use of the property and climate-controlled comfort year-round.
With event planning assistance and customization options, Sweeney Barn is perfect for couples looking for a sophisticated celebration. Whether you choose an outdoor ceremony under the stars or an indoor reception with grand chandeliers, this venue promises an unforgettable experience.

Things To Do
Northern Virginia is an entertaining melting pot of historical sites and natural beauty. History buffs devour landmarks like George Washington’s Mount Vernon home and Arlington National Cemetery, a bucket list site to pay respects to fallen soldiers crowned by the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Active sets head to Great Falls Park to trek to jaw-dropping waterfalls and Shenandoah National Park for hiking, wildlife glimpses and postcard perches from Skyline Drive. A burgeoning wine and craft beer scene keeps the countryside brimming with tastings and tours while the cobblestone streets of Old Town Alexandria beckon with boutique shops, galleries and restaurants neatly tucked into 18th- and 19th-century buildings.
