About

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 125. Ceremony and reception can be held on site. You have a choice of ceremony locations with arbor and bench sitting. We supply tables and chairs for your reception and have additonal decor items for your use. 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.

A BARN's season runs from May through October. We have hosted all levels of weddings from glamorous plated meals too casual BBQ and food truck events.

Our Storybook Wedding

A Barn could not have exceeded our expectations more. This enchanting venue tucked away in the woods of Maine allowed us to create a truly storybook wedding. The barn itself is gorgeous, with rustic beams, beautiful lights, and a perfect canvas for whatever your vision is. From the barn, you step out into a stunning open field ringed by trees with a beautiful pond, making it the idyllic place for your ceremony. There were also several excellent secluded spots where we could do our first look, and as far as logistics there is more parking than you will know what to do with. Robin helped to guide us through every step of wedding planning, taking a seemingly impossible task and making it feel achievable, less stressful, and from the beginning we could feel that she was excited for us to create a wedding with our own personal flair. She delighted in the choices we made, and supported us with everything we needed, big or small, far above and beyond what we ever could have expected. On the day of, the A Barn's coordination with vendors was impeccable, many of which had worked with this venue before, and the day went off without a hitch or a worry on our end.

If this venue is available on a date that you are considering your wedding, booking it will be the best choice you make. This is a beautiful venue, and while there are may be many of those, Robin and her husband Mark are truly good and kind people, and those are a much rarer find.

We love A Barn!

Choosing A Barn as our venue felt so right from the second we walked on the property! From day one, Robin was so helpful in making sure everything went smoothly and she was always so responsive. On the wedding day, Robin was the go-to for all vendors, decor and scheduling to make sure everything was just as we wanted it! Our guests couldn’t compliment the venue enough. And the cherry on top was the stunning views and foliage on our perfect fall day! We would recommend A Barn over and over again - it’s truly the best venue!
