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.

Highly Recommend A Barn


As soon as we stepped onto the property we knew A Barn was the place we were supposed to get married. The barn is older but holds a lot of charm and is well kept, the grounds are beautiful and the options for ceremony spots were also beautiful. Taking our first steps out onto the back patio literally took our breaths away. What completely sold A Barn for us was Robin and Mike. From the very start Robin was organized and welcoming - using inclusive language which as a queer couple was comforting to hear- and all around there to make our day the best it could be. Throughout the entire wedding planning process Robin was available to help with any planning needs, reaching out to vendors and just all the fine details you don’t think about if you’ve never had a wedding before. The day before the wedding setting up and running rehearsal, we were set up for success for the day. The day of the wedding went so smoothly and a huge part of that goes to Robin, who managed anything and everything with grace and discretion only bringing things to us Brides if absolutely necessary. She made sure throughout the night we were happy and taken care of. Our wedding day at A Barn was an absolute dream. We cannot recommend A Barn more. Not only is the property stunning but the owners are masters at their craft.

Amazing Venue

Robin and Mark at A Barn ensured we could have our dream wedding. They left no stone unturned to accommodate our personal preferences. Everything felt truly customized and perfect! I highly recommend considering this venue for your special day. Robin made us feel like family and was very laid back and easy to work with. I knew we were in good hands from the moment I met them. The team made the whole process smooth. The rustic barn fit our imagination of our “barn wedding” perfectly. 10/10 rating from us :)

A dream rusty fairytale wedding - thank you Robin and Mark!

We got married at A Barn on October 4th, and it was everything we dreamed of and more. The venue is absolutely beautiful - the perfect rustic fairytale setting. Between the charming indoor barn, the lovely patio, the open grassy area, and the peaceful pond out back, every part of the property made for stunning photos and an amazing atmosphere.

Robin and Mark Walton were incredible to work with from start to finish. Robin was so thorough, organized, and supportive throughout the entire planning process, and she made sure every detail on the wedding day ran smoothly. You could tell she genuinely cared about making our day perfect. Mark was hard at work behind the scenes keeping everything running seamlessly - they make such a great team.

They coordinated wonderfully with all our vendors, handled every detail flawlessly, and made it so easy for us to just enjoy the day. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how gorgeous the venue was and how smoothly everything flowed. We heard over and over that it was one of the best weddings people have ever attended.

If you are looking for a breathtaking rustic venue with owners who truly care and go above and beyond, A Barn with Robin and Mark is the perfect choice. They helped us create the most unforgettable day of our lives!

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!

The Best Barn Wedding

My husband and I got married at A Barn.
From the moment I met Robin, I KNEW I was in the right place. She was so welcoming and so helpful! She had a list of vendors that were local, and she gave us recommendations based on meeting with us and was SPOT ON. We adored our caterer (Pig Kahuna), loved our DJ (Mike, the Wicked Good DJ), and TNT bartending was stellar!
Robin was spectacular as our day-of-coordinator as well! She checked in on me during prep, checked in and made sure I ate in between photos. Robin was seriously the BEST! I was so nervous about planning, but with her, everything fell into place perfectly!
The Barn itself was lovely! Rustic and chic- I loved the lighting and the white drapery. The patio was fantastic, and the scenery for the wedding was just gorgeous. A lovely lawn, and a pond just behind us, with a lush little forest too. Seriously I couldn’t imagine a better place to get married!

The Perfect Venue!

Robin and Mark were incredible to work with. A BARN is a beautiful venue situated in a quiet area. Robin was with us from the beginning to answer questions we had, offer advice, and execute the day of our dreams.it wound up raining the day of our wedding and Robin and Mark were able to effortlessly transition to an inside event. We received many compliments on how beautiful the venue was and how smoothly the day ran, all thanks to Robin and Mark! We could not recommend them more!

A Barn, Dayton ME

A Barn is a beautiful spot and Robin and Mark were wonderful to work with! Robin is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, professional and a problem solver. She responded very quickly to all of our questions and had great suggestions when asked. Throughout the planning process, Robin will help to make sure all the details from the venders to the timeline are complete, so the days leading up to the wedding are stress free. On the day of Robin and Mark went above and beyond and had all the small details covered to create a wonderful stress free day for the bride and groom.

June 2022 Wedding

A Barn was the first and ONLY venue my now husband and I visited. When searching for venues we came across A Barn and there was something about it we loved just from the photos!
We went to visit and not only did we fall in love with A Barn itself but Mark and Robin as well!
Robin was so helpful with recommending other vendors and overall a great resource through the planning process! She was always very responsive, kind, honest, and thoughtful.
On the rehearsal and actual wedding day, Robin and Mark as well as the vendors we had worked extremely well and the whole day went so smoothly!
We do not have enough words to say how much we LOVED working with Mark and Robin and having our extremely special day at A Barn!

We would one thousand times over recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
