Barn Weddings & Venues in New England

The centerpiece for one-of-a-kind weddings at the Grafton Inn, nestled within a quintessential Vermont country village, is the Phelps Barn. With its rough-hewn beams and rustic atmosphere, the barn, once a carriage house for the inn in the 1800s, honors its heritage while providing all the modern amenities for your big day, including a dance floor, two bars and an outdoor courtyard patio, all lined with bistro string lights. There is ample seating for your buffet-style or elegantly plated dinner, including an elevated seating area in what was originally the barn’s hayloft. It’s a classic site for your wedding in this storybook Vermont country village. The inn’s experienced wedding team will assist you to ensure your day is exactly as you dreamed.

You’ve always wanted a barn wedding, but you want a touch of elegance, too? Rustic ambiance and stylish, modern touches combine in the barn restaurant venue at the Briar Barn Inn, just north of Boston in Rowley, a charming historic former mill town. The inn’s gorgeous exposed post-and-beam barn is ideal for weddings for up to 100 people. Airy and light-filled, it has beautiful hardwood floors, with three distinct bars and smaller areas for more intimate gatherings or cocktail receptions. The barn also has an outdoor terrace, and the inn includes an on-site spa with a wedding studio. The award-winning catering team and experienced event planners will ensure your barn wedding lives up to all your dreams.

The historic Scott Farm doesn’t just have one barn for your wedding: It has several. Exchange your vows in the farm’s courtyard, nestled amid lovely and historic white barns, next to a pond with year-round running water. Then celebrate with a delicious catered buffet or plated dinner, with a customized menu, in the Apple Barn event room, where dozens of windows let guests look out onto the stunning farm and the mountains behind it. (The barn may also be used for ceremonies.) The farm, which dates back to the 18th century, is part of the Landmark Trust USA, so there are several nearby historic homes (including a sugarhouse and carriage house) perfect for your Vermont honeymoon.

When you have your wedding at The Barn at the Mountain Top Resort, you’ll have the best of both worlds: a rustic setting with luxurious touches. The three-story barn has rough-hewn beams and ductwork, a wood floor, rustic light fixtures and a wall of windows looking out over the meadow, the lake and the mountains. Its upper floor, The Loft, has oversized floor-to-ceiling bay windows with breathtaking views. On-site floral designers will help you transform the space into a true wonderland for your ceremony and reception, and the culinary team (the barn has a dedicated kitchen) will provide the perfect buffet or sit-down dinners for your guests. The barn’s large main floor is also ideal for a rehearsal dinner or welcome party.
