Jay Billie & Elizabeth Goeke are amazing! First class establishment. Always love visiting The Inn at Westwood Farm. They treat you like family. The only place we wanted to have our wedding. It is was the perfect location. Jay & Elizabeth were essential in the planning and execution of our wedding, cocktail reception and dinner. Their recommendations for vendors (caterer, florist and officiant...and don't forget the porta-lisa) were "spot on". We didn't stress at all on our wedding day because of their attention to detail and creative solutions for every situation.
Recommend them to anyone looking for a truly special place to have their wedding or just a weekend away. We love them and the inn!

The Inn at Westwood Farms was the first venue we visited when planning out wedding, and it was the last! Jay and Elizabeth were just perfect from the start- helpful, fun, inspiring - and their Inn is beautiful! In that first meeting, they listened to our desires, and suggested vendors that they thought we would like - and we ended up using almost every single one of their suggestions! They know exactly what they are doing, and make the planning seamless. In our meetings leading up to the day, Elizabeth thought of every detail I had overlooked, and always had a solution. The weekend of the wedding, we arrived Thursday night, both to go over last minute details and to try and relax- and it was perfect. The breakfasts are amazing, the rooms are stunning, and the company is delightful- by Saturday morning, we were totally relaxed and ready to go!
During the day of the wedding, Jay and Elizabeth took care of everything, allowing us to relax and get ready. The event went off perfectly, exactly as we had discussed, and I know that is all because of their hard work. We definitely plan on coming back to celebrate some future anniversary at the Inn at Westwood Farms!

We held our wedding at The Inn at Westwood Farm on October 29th of 2011, and could not have been happier with the service and experience provided by innkeepers (Jay and Elizabeth) or the venue itself, which provides a beautiful, rustic, and romantic setting for a wedding. We were thoroughly impressed by the detail-focused support that Jay and Elizabeth offered us, and the event was amazing. We had 150 guests, and they have all raved about the afternoon/evening that they shared with us. We would strongly recommend this venue as the perfect place to host a wedding or any other event.

Elizabeth and Jay are absolutely amazing! They helped with every detail before and during the wedding, they made sure all the vendors got there and were set up on time, that everyone was on the same page and met all of our needs! Not only were they on top of everything the inn is perfect! They really go the extra mile to make sure every room is just wonderful, the beds are clean and cozy, the breakfasts are to die for and the grounds are gorgeous. The moment I got to the inn I was completely relaxed, my husband and I didn't have to worry about a thing and we were able to take in every moment.

Wedding: 10/1/11
As parents of the bride, we were extremely pleased with all aspects of the wedding and this venue. Everything about this event went really well. Our daughter and her fiance did all the planning with Elizabeth and Jay, and they also found them to be wonderful to work with. They are closely networked in with local vendors. Their recommendations for catering, florist, musicians, and local accommodations were outstanding. They even hooked us up with a neighbor to dog-sit the couple's ringbearer. Elizabeth and Jay also coordinated the logistics during the wedding, directing the bridal party and tending to every detail. We were truly able to relax and enjoy. It was also a big plus that the bride and her bridesmaids were able to spend the night at the Inn. They raved about the home-made breakfast and the warm hospitality. Elizabeth and Jay were very flexible. They allowed us to bring things to the Inn during the week prior to the wedding for storage. At the last minute, we requested heaters for the tent and they made it happen seamlessly. In hindsight, we wish we had explored the possibility of upgrading the port-a-lets, although those provided were perfectly acceptable. We highly recommend the Inn at Westwood Farm!

The Inn at Westwood Farm was not only an ideal landscape for our wedding, but the inn keepers made the wedding. This venue was the first venue to actually ask us, about us. They inquired about how we met, the proposal, and personal interests prior to any discussion of the event. We did not have any prior wedding knowledge (especially myself) which allowed the inn to suggest some vendors who they work with. It turned out to be a great decision as all of the vendors worked well together and provided a memorable day. Through the six months of our engagement, Elizabeth and Jay offered not only an experienced perception but also a genuine desire to listen to our thoughts. They have been there for us before and now after the wedding. These are people that your rarely find and will always be special folks for us. This is a great venue, not only for the scenic landscape but also for the great people we met and enjoyed!

The Inn at Westwood Farm is not only a ceremony venue for us but we made real friends with everyone that we came across. If you are looking for friendly, laid back, "willing to go the extra mile" people these inn keepers are the BEST! I would call in a panic and Elizabeth would sit down with my fiance and I to go through the flow of the day. Emails were responded that day. They have are willing to help you with other services (aka. photography, music and catering). The Inn and the grounds speak for themselves. The house is quaint and the scenery is so beautiful that not much else is needed. Lots of family and friends ... and some really amazing inn keepers to pull it off. We had the time of our lives at the Inn for our wedding and can't wait to go back for all those memories.

We truly had such a perfect wedding and would not change a thing! Everything was just as we hoped, and could not have been done without the incredible owners at Westwood Farm. They did so much to make our wedding about family, friends, and being together. (It was better than hiring a wedding planner!) Not only was everything at the Inn beautiful, but they have such a great relationship with so many local businesses that coordinating could not have been easier. We can't wait to return!

Wedding: 6/25/11
My husband and I were recently married at the Inn at Westwood Farm, and there just are no words to describe how wonderful the entire weekend was. I tend to stress out about every little thing, but Elizabeth and Jay were terrific. Most of my family and his parents stayed at the Inn with us all weekend, and everyone had such lovely things to say about the Inn, the environs, and the details of the wedding. When we made a bunch of changes last minute, Elizabeth handled it with ease and grace, and the whole thing came off perfectly. As a bride who spilled red wine on her dress during cocktail hour (after which Jay tried his best to get it out with soda water and salt), I can still confidently say that the whole thing was perfect, and we owe it all to Elizabeth and Jay. Not only did the best day of our lives exceed all of our expectations, but we've made lifelong friends that we know we'll visit for years to come.

My husband and I had an “elopement” wedding at the Inn at Westwood Farm and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. As a wedding venue, the Inn is wonderful. The grounds are well maintained and there are tons of cool photo opportunities (huge trees, garden, red barn, white fencing, horses) – we got a ton of great photos. The elopement package was perfect because all of the details were arranged for us for a great price (I wanted to enjoy my wedding, not go crazy stressing over it!). The vendors they use are awesome and I would use them again in a heartbeat.
As a B&B, it was terrific and we can’t wait to go back! Breakfast was delicious, our room was nicely decorated, well maintained, comfortable and clean. They really take care of every little detail to really make you feel pampered (locally made soaps, fresh flowers, Virginia wines, artisan chocolates, need I say more?). Last but not least, Jay & Elizabeth are remarkable. They are warm, friendly, helpful…I can’t say enough about them or thank them enough for helping us have the perfect wedding!

Everyone complimented the Inn at Westwood Farm for dayyyss after the ceremony. It was such a beautiful place with perfect places for awesome pictures. I had envisioned an outdoor wedding where amongst trees and a barn and I got it! I wanted a large tent on grass so that children could run around and play! I got it! I wanted a beauitful house to spend the night in with my bridesmaid and then husband, and I got it! It was more than I could ask for! Elizabeth and Jay (the Innkeepers) were the most helpful people in the world. They were so organized and had so many great ideas and were willing to go above and beyond their title. If it wasn't for Jay, I would have lost my vows and never found them!!! Please visit this place and see for yourself! Oh! One more thing...it is in the best location and soooo easy to get to! It is just seconds off ONE road from a major roadway through Orange County Virginia. All my friends from DC, Charlottesville, and Richmond had no trouble what-so-ever finding it! :)

My wife and I were recently married at the Inn and it could not have been a more perfect place. The Inn and the grounds are beautiful, in the middle of rolling Virginia countryside. The house itself is great: elegant but not stuffy, sunny and comfortable - you feel like you're at home. The grounds are great too, they have a beautiful yard and gardens, a great barn, and wonderful chickens - don't forget to meet Ziggy!
But the real key is Elizabeth and Jay, the innkeepers. They could not have been kinder, funnier, more gracious or more helpful throughout the entire process. We visited a few times during the course of planning the event and it always felt like going to see good friends. Their help throughout, and especially on the day off, was invaluable. I know how hard they worked to make sure the grounds looked great and to help keep every detail in line. All without ever seeming stressed or every making us feel stressed.
Finally, although they are listed as a ceremony and reception venue, they were extremely helpful in selecting all of the other vendors we worked with. The caterer, flower person, photographer, tent and place setting folks all came recommended from them and we were satisfied with them all. Overall, the Inn's a beautiful place with excellent hosts and I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Elizabeth and Jay at the Inn at Westwood are absolutely the best. First of all, the Inn and the grounds are gorgeous and well maintained. So many people told me during the reception that it was the most beautiful setting for a wedding they'd ever seen! It's very idyllic and peaceful. My parents and my husband's parents stayed at the Inn, which was great. They had never met before, so they really got to know each other over the delicious breakfasts, and just hanging out in the sitting room. (The breakfasts at the Inn are to die for!!) Elizabeth was a huge help in recommending local vendors, restaurants, etc., and in communicating with and confirming the vendors. Both Elizabeth and Jay provided a lot of help with small and big things the day of the rehearsal and the wedding.
They are gracious and friendly, and just plain great people! I can't recommend having your wedding and/or reception at the Inn at Westwood highly enough!!!

What an amazing inn. After looking at all the B&B's around Orange, Culpeper, Fredericksburg, and Stafford to have our wedding we decided to book with Jay and Elizabeth. The Inn at Westwood Farm was by far the absolute best. There was nothing that we would change about the whole experience! The wedding went off without a hitch and Jay and Elizabeth accomadated our every want and need! There is no need to keep looking for a great place to stay. We can't wait to stay again next year!!!!!!!

Jay and Elizabeth were GREAT! They were so helpful with the wedding and the whole weekend. They helped me sooo much with anything they could! The price was a little more than we planned on spending, but we did get the location for the whole weekend, not just the ceremony and reception! They were worth every penny!
