The Barn at Bridlewood has got to be the most beautiful wedding venue of all
time! The entire location and building are absolutely breathtaking and unique. I would have to say that this location is the perfect place in all of Hattiesburg and all of Mississippi to have a picture perfect wedding at! The owner knew what she was doing when she designed this venue! I have got to give major props to her for this location!

My son and bride recently had their wedding ceremony and reception at the Barn
at Bridlewood. The ceremony was held at sunset by the pond. It was simply gorgeous. The trees had large strands of twinkle lights that came on that added to the magic. The reception was held in the barn and it was perfect as well. There were lots of decor items available to use which helps with costs. If you are considering this venue I would recommend it as it was the prettiest wedding I have ever attended. Very laid back and understated elegance.

Newly built rustic inspired barn, is a perfect venue for weddings, has cleanly &
spacious restrooms with a prep chamber. Great scenery all around and well maintained grounds. A rock path leads from the barn to an outdoor "ceremony" area near the pond under trees lit up with white lights complete with electrical wiring nearby for any amplification needs. The sun also sets behind the ceremony area making it a perfect area for magical photoshoots.
