Historic Barns of Nipmoose

We are so thrilled that we discovered the Historic Barns of Nipmoose for our October wedding. From our first interaction with Connie, the venue manager, it was clear that this was a special place and a team that puts immense care into the work that they do, and after visiting and seeing the grounds, we were enchanted. We felt really supported as we went through the wedding planning process and were so happy with the end result. Our guests could not stop raving about the natural beauty and charm of the barns -- we totally agree and are so happy that we got to celebrate our wedding at the Barns!

My husband and I had an absolutely perfect wedding at the Historic Barns of Nipmoose. After setting our date and having 2 prior venues fall though, I thought there was no way a place this nice would be able to accommodate us. We were just out of the window of their wedding season (end of October) but due to our smaller size and their ability to provide some heat in the barns we gave it a shot. Connie was so helpful with helping to coordinate with vendors, chose many props/furniture items to use (at no additional fee) and made me feel confident that we were checking all the boxes for it to be a smooth day. She was also able to provide a lot of pictures from previous weddings to get an idea of what ceremony and table set ups would look like and had a big list of vendors that they were familiar with.

Although we paid for a 5 hour block of time, it was extremely convenient to be able to drop items off the day before and have access to the venue earlier in the day. My wedding party met the photographer there a few hours before the ceremony so we could get all of our pictures done.

The only flaw with the whole experience was no fault of theirs - it rained the whole day! We had to move the ceremony inside to one of the barns. It wasn't what I pictured but Connie and the staff were so helpful as we moved things around inside the barn together to see how things would best fit and what our new setup was going to be. They even had a bunch of clear umbrellas for us to use which was one less thing I needed to purchase! The rain was light and the pictures turned out perfect. The best part was after the ceremony we were rewarded with a beautiful sunset and rainbow!

We highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a rustic barn wedding!

The Historic Barns of Nipmoose is a place which is both majestic and natural. Each aspect of my son's wedding at the Historic Barns of Nipmoose was genuine! Every detail was attended to with great care.
The wedding vows, held in front of a cluster of aspen trees, were perfectly framed and complemented by the carefully built historic barns with their well-built post and beam constructions.
Max & Cristi's wedding was more beautiful than I had imagined it could be. Guests from California, Colorado, Florida, Texas, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Switzerland were truly impressed with Nipmoose’s unique beauty. The caterer, the band, photographer and the Nipmoose staff all made the event run smoothly. Everyone who attended the wedding says their visit to Nipmoose will always be a cherished memory.

We absolutely loved having our wedding at Nipmoose and would definitely choose it again if we did it all over. My husband and I live in NYC, and we originally thought that Nipmoose was going to be too far away from Brooklyn. Once we visited and saw how beautiful Nipmoose was, the distance no longer mattered. We were enamored with Nipmoose and the site manager, Connie, and immediately booked the venue. It is absolutely stunning, and the striking barns and grounds made our wedding a truly memorable experience. Our guests and families were absolutely taken with Nipmoose, telling us that they felt like they were in a movie or visiting the shire. My dad in particular bragged to all his friends how amazing it was.

Connie and her staff were lovely -- really helpful and kind and so good at what they do! They had sweet details throughout the wedding that made it feel like a truly special event. Connie is very high touch and incredibly responsive, which worked perfectly with our style. She never left us wondering what was happening and helped us personalize our wedding. The nature of the venue means that you will need to hire and find vendors for all the different components yourself. While it provided the level of customization we wanted, it also made our wedding a bit more expensive and resulted in more moving components to manage. We definitely thought the venue was worth the extra work. Connie had a great list of suggestions and good advice as we shopped for vendors, and worked very hard to make sure everyone was prepared for our wedding at Nipmoose.

More than all of these things, we are so happy to have found a friend in Connie during our wedding planning. If you have the opportunity to have your event at Nipmoose, we hope you love it as much as we did!

This venue is wonderful for so many reasons! 10 reasons to be exact. First off, this venue is absolutely breathtaking! There are 3 barns you can use for your reception and/or ceremony, and they are so gorgeous and well taken care of. The barns are surrounded by a huge lawn, so your guests will have plenty of room to roam and you'll have so many options to take wedding photos at. The lawn of the venue is framed 360 by beautiful views, including forests, mountains, a small pond, and a flower garden. So no matter what direction you face your guests and wedding photographer can take in breathtaking views. The foliage at fall is so vibrant, our Autumn wedding photos look GORGEOUS! Second, this venue has a ton of useful stuff that is available for you to use however you please (at no extra cost, yay!), and it's all gorgeous! They have wooden tables, stools, benches, crates, and troughs, metal milk jugs, lanterns in various sizes, huge wooden wheels, cabinets and display cabinets and desks, and a bunch of other stuff! They will offer you the list, they will put out for you whatever you choose to use and keep whatever you don't want stored away and out of sight. Third, they have actual bathrooms, nice ones. A lot of barn-type venues don't have real bathrooms, lots of them have porta-potties or nothing at all, so these bathrooms are a HUGE plus. Fourth, they've got a huge parking lot available for use for cars and buses. They've also got golf carts available for use incase you have any guests that need assistance walking. Fifth, they've got fire pits available for rental, which were a huge hit at our wedding! Sixth, they've got a basement bridal suite, so you and your party can get ready on-site rather than having makeup and hair artists come to your hotel then having to drive to the venue all done up. It takes a huge amount of stress out of the day getting ready on-site. So convenient! Plus, because you’ll be on-site getting ready your wedding photographer and videographer can take getting ready pictures of you and your party, which we were so happy to have. Seventh, they have an extra barn connected to the parking lot that is available for use for your vendors. The barn has 2 sections, a garage entrance and an attached prep room. So your vendors can pull their cars/truck right into the building and unload all of their supplies directly into the barn. You can have your caterer prep food in there, or anything else you may need. Your vendors will thank you for the convenience! Eighth, you can have both your ceremony and your reception here, which you can't always do at every venue. It is so much more convenient and less stressful to just be able to transition into your reception immediately. Your guests and vendors will thank you! Ninth, the owner Connie is SO nice, and will work with your vendors and you to make sure everything and everyone is all set before your big day. She actually also has a list available of vendors she’s had at her venue before that she’s had good experiences with for you to take home with you, which makes getting a good start on finding vendors in the area so much easier! She and her staff are so friendly and sweet! It made the entire experience working with them even more pleasurable. Lastly, for all of the LGBTQ+ couples out there. This is a LGBTQ+ friendly venue! Connie and her staff were so welcoming to my Wife and I! You need to book this venue, you won't regret it!! Cannot recommend this venue enough!

I don't think I have the words to explain how truly incredible this venue is. It's absolutely stunning and we were so happy to have found such a beautiful wedding venue. Additionally, the staff there are wonderful. They provided so much support to us and they were so on top of everything. Our wedding was seamless and went without a hitch, in large part thanks to Connie, Ryan, and the other staff members they had there for our wedding. This is an amazing venue with the added bonus of some amazing people! I highly recommend this venue.

We were debating between Nipmoose and another venue when hunting for our location. The other location would have offered an "all inclusive" approach, Nipmoose was just the venue and the rest would have to be strung together through other vendors. All I can say is, when we showed up at Nipmoose for our visit, we immediately got chills. Now that the wedding has passed, we do not have any regrets at Nipmoose being the centerpiece setting for our dream wedding. The entire staff is exceptionally caring and thoughtful, to the point of where I felt part of their family. They helped make everything work together wonderfully and were professional throughout. It was great to know that we had Nipmoose as the backbone of our event to make everything build from there.

We cannot imagine a more perfect place to have had our wedding. The rustic beauty of the venue is just out of this world – the beautifully preserved barns with fall color and a field of corn husks in the background was exactly what we had envisioned, before we even knew Nipmoose existed. Plus, there’s not one, not two, but three (!) beautiful barns, plus a fourth barn-like structure with bathrooms and space for vendor prep. The problem with most barn wedding venues is that you only get one barn, so there’s usually no attractive rain plan. The peace of mind we got from having a second barn where we could potentially do the ceremony in case of rain was priceless. Barb and Connie were a pleasure to work with, and seamlessly interfaced with our planner and all of our vendors. The crew on the day of the wedding was basically invisible to us, but made everything happen like clockwork. We are so, so happy we got married here. Thank you Nipmoose!

Our daughter’s wedding was simply magnificent!! The Nipmoose setting is exquisite yet relaxed. The staff is more than outstanding.

We booked the Historic Barns of Nipmoose as our wedding location, before we were even engaged! As soon as we discovered this beautiful barn venue a few years back, we dreamed about booking a wedding date. Being a barn girl from Long Island who was marrying an upstate guys, this venue included both of our loves: barns and upstate beauty.

Working with Barb and Connie was the best part of the experience, and something we miss the most. The barns beauty needs no help, but planning a wedding from out-of-town definitely does, and they made it so easy. We had frequent calls and emails with so many amazing vendor recommendations. We had an open invitation to visit Nipmoose when we made our trips upstate, and were always welcome to bring friends, family and vendors with us to plan and share excitement.

The day of the wedding was easier than we could have ever imagined, and every idea we had came to life in those beautiful barns. The Nipmoose teams greeted us the day of and even helped us pack up the next day when we had to pick up a few remaining items.

The barns are beautiful and truly take your breath away in person. We hope we can have another celebration at Nipmoose one day!
