A Barn's inspiration was our youngest daughter wanting to be married at home. We spent the summer cleaning out, fixing up and adding lighting. When her special day arrived our family and friends kept telling us we should open as a venue. Although we have held private parties here many times the idea of opening our home to the public was something new. The 2015 season was our trial year and we scheduled just a few events; weddings, anniversary party and a birthday party. We so enjoyed being a part of those celebrations we have been doing it ever since.
A BARN has a maximum occupancy of 150. We supply tables and chairs for this amount. Our pond ceremony site has an arbor and benches. We can also hold smaller ceremonies on the front lawn.We have added to the venue each year; interior bathrooms, catering kitchen, built in bar, and a patio with staircase. We have plenty of on site parking, open lawn space and gradens.
A BARN's season runs from May through October. We have hosted all levels of weddings from glamorous sit down meals too casual BBQ and food truck events. We do not have an onsite caterer but we do supply a list of caterers and other vendors we enjoy working with.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at A Barn. Robin and Marc were incredibly helpful and kind throughout the entire wedding planning process and went above and beyond the day of our wedding. There was a Nor Easter the day of our (supposed to be outdoor) wedding, but Robin and Marc were able to move everything indoors. Not only were they accommodating, but they helped the whole event run smoothly without any stress to my husband or I. At first I was saddened we would not be able to do the event outdoors but Robin was able to make the barn and tent look so absolutely STUNNING the storm felt like a blessing in disguise! Our guests are still talking about how wonderful they were, how cool the setting was and how special and amazing the day was.

Gorgeous Venue, Fantastic Coordination, Excellent Value
I can't begin to express how happy we were to have chosen A Barn for our wedding venue!! Robin and Mark were absolutely incredible to work with. I was pretty overwhelmed by how much work it is to plan a wedding, but Robin truly made everything so easy. She has so much experience, is tremendously organized, and a great communicator; she helped us think through everything we needed well in advance of the day, and made us feel so calm and relaxed and worry-free about how the day would play out. Truly, her coordinating skills alone are worth the five star rating - but let's not forget how absolutely gorgeous the barn and property are! The barn has that beautiful rustic charm (and already comes with lovely decorations, with dried flowers on the walls and beautiful lights and white drapes around the gorgeous iron wagon wheel chandeliers - we had very little additional decorating to do on our own!). At the same time, it has all the modern amenities that make the event go more smoothly - the bathrooms are actual bathrooms (many barn venues make you rent portopotties), they have a beautiful and brand new kitchen prep space and catering serving nook, along with a separate bartending nook, which means fewer rentals and an even easier time for your vendors. They also offer propane heaters for inside the barn, which was a lifesaver for us on our cold and windy October wedding day! The pond was a beautiful space for the ceremony, and Robin had so many tricks up her sleeve to help us figure out how to decorate that space as well. The venue also comes with adorable wooden benches for the outdoor ceremony space, and tables/chairs for the interior of the barn. I honestly wish I could give this venue ten stars because they are so worth the value in every possible way. You can tell that Robin and Mark love what they do, and care deeply about making your wedding the most fantastic day. Ours absolutely was!
