Sweet Briar Farm is a rural wedding venue situated in Linden, Texas. Dating back to the 1890s, this property once functioned as a cattle farm. Current owners Toni and Lewis Melton built their family home here in the early 2000s, building a barn for Toni’s mother to live in. This barn set the scene for their son’s wedding in 2017, and the facility has been hosting marital celebrations ever since. Nestled amid East Texas’ picturesque Piney Woods, this rustic hideaway can provide the backdrop for your entire once-in-a-lifetime event.

I cannot say enough great things about Sweet Briar Farm and the amazing owner, Toni Melton.
Her talent and ability to transform her venue into your dream wedding goes beyond words. She is professional, she is kind, and she does her job very, very well. She went beyond just renting a beautiful venue. She helped bring our vision of an elegant wedding alive. Toni is incredibly easy to work with, kept everything positive and joyful, and worked well with the other vendors.
With the help of Toni, my husband and I were able to enjoy the wedding planning process and our wedding day.
