About

Who are We?

Kingston Place is a scenic wedding and reception venue in rural Fair Haven, Vermont. This historic barn was originally the property of the King family, who relocated from Rhode Island in the early 1800s. Since then, generations of the King Family have operated the homestead in a variety of farming ventures and it is currently functioning as a Cattle Farm as well as a unique venue for guests to celebrate their unions. Visitors will discover a magnificent event space that captures the timeless magic of that special day and will provide a memorable experience that you can share for generations to come. You can celebrate here in simple style and rustic charm at The Wedding Barn at Kingston Place, where the past converges with the present to create a traditional yet chic atmosphere, perfect for you to begin your future.

Facilities and Capacity

Kingston Place comprises over 800 acres of picturesque gardens, landscapes, and trails, that are perfect for everything from romantic nature walks to incredible winter cross-country skiing and snowmobiling experiences. The venue has 3,600 square feet of event space and can accommodate parties of up to 247 guests. The original wooden barn now features gleaming pine flooring, a spacious beechwood dance floor, beautiful chandeliers, and large windows that bathe the room in warm, natural light. Depending on your preferences and themes, this venue can be elegantly dressed up for a formal affair or simply trimmed for a more intimate rustic experience that can include lawn games and fire pits. In addition, the charming Kingston Place Homestead, located just steps away from the barn provides plenty of space to prepare for your big day. It boasts two floors of preparation rooms adorned with a classically vintage aesthetic that offers a beautiful and historically authentic backdrop for photography and videography.

Services Offered

Kingston Place is available to host nuptials on the pastoral landscape and the reception can be arranged in the barn just a short walk away from the ceremony site. All events are exclusive and when booked as a ceremony and reception package, include four day access to the property for any rehearsals, decorating and vendor set up. The venue offers tiered rates and a range of package options to provide maximum flexibility and put you in control of your event. The nearby Wheel Inn is Kingston Place's trusted, non-exclusive catering partner. There are also two hotels and several bed and breakfasts within 25 miles of the venue, so the wedding party and guests will not have far to travel.

Fabulous Wedding

Labor Day weekend my son and daughter-in-law celebrated their wedding at the Barn. We stayed on the property in the guess house the whole weekend making our experience even more meaningful. What I liked most about the barn was that on Saturday it was decorated for a family I DO BBQ and on Sunday it was transformed into a elegant venue for the wedding. I would recommend the Barn it was a beautiful setting for such a special occasion.

Spectacular, Rustic Venue

My daughter got married Labor Day weekend at the barn and it was beautiful. This venue is located on a beautiful Vermont farm. The views were spectacular which made a great back drop for wedding pictures. The Barn itself was very clean and spacious for the 130 attendees. The owners were very accommodating and worked with us to deliver everything we needed.
The house located nearby was large enough to house 10 guests and was well kept. I would definitely recommend this venue for any couple looking for a unique place to have a wedding reception. It was perfect and exactly what my daughter and son-in-law wanted.

Beautiful Venue and Labor Day Weekend Wedding

Labor Day weekend we attended a wedding at the Barn in Benson, VT. It was a 2 day event with 130 people attending. The 1st day was filled with volleyball, corn hole and enjoying everyone's company while looking out at the rolling hills with haystacks and roaming cows. The views were absolutely beautiful. The Barn was a perfect place for any large event. The food was set up in the barn, as well as the bar and the D.J. and there was still plenty of room to seat 130 people. Everyone had a great time and I would highly recommend this venue for a wedding or any other large event. Next door to the barn is a house that the owners rent out which has 5 bedrooms and down the street is another house that can be rented which has 3 bedrooms. This makes it convenient for family members to stay. All the other people that attended the wedding stayed in different hotels in Rutland which is 25 minutes from the barn. It's an easy drive with no traffic.

Beautiful Venue!

We had our wedding this past Labor Day weekend and it couldn't have been more perfect!   The weekend package allowed us to host an "I DO" BBQ the day before our wedding, making it a true weekend-long celebration.  The venue is perfect for any occasion...whether it's a casual BBQ or a formal reception.  We had both and they were exactly what we had hoped for.  The grounds of the venue were perfect and allowed us to host over 100 guests for a casual BBQ filled with lawn games, music, good food and lots of fun!  Many of our guests commented on how beautiful the area is and much they enjoyed spending time outside around the farm.  My husband's family stayed at the farmhouse and my immediate family stayed across the street at the guest house, which was very convenient!  We chartered several coach buses to transport guests to and from the hotels in Rutland, which I highly recommend!  The farmhouse is beautiful inside and was the perfect place to get ready before our ceremony.  The barn itself is the perfect venue if you are looking for a rustic-inspired atmosphere with the flexibility to really make your wedding your own.  We had 130 guests at our reception and the space was perfect for dancing and mingling.  What I liked most about the venue was that it allowed us to bring our families and friends together for a long weekend to celebrate instead of going to a "cookie-cutter" catering hall that limits you in several ways.  Abigale was more than helpful throughout the entire planning process, always answering my questions and helping out in any way that she could.  Beautiful venue!

Perfect Labor Day weekend

The venue is absolutely gorgeous and we loved the fact that we had the barn and homestead for the entire weekend. We were able to have a big BBQ rehearsal dinner that involved cornhole, volleyball and other yard games.on Sunday we had our actual wedding and partied from 3pm to 11 pm(we could have kept going but we were all tired from the intense volleyball the day before). Overall it was a perfect weekend wedding and the Barn was a perfect place for us. Here is a breakdown of my pros and cons of the venue to help.

Pros
1) beautiful venue
2)entire weekend with little to no curfew
3)access to homestead
4) linens, tables and chairs for up to 150 people included
5) Plenty of Parking
6) Plenty of space in the barn
7) Day of wedding, venue staff helps with parking
8) very accomadating and accruing more and more decor that can be used by the wedding couple
9)Abigaile is friendly, prompt and willing to help with whatever was needed.

Possible cons
1)It’s an active farm with cattle and bugs. They are working on controlling the flies but there will be some flies in and outside the barn.
2) You have to rent bathrooms - we used 802 restrooms, which had beautiful rentals
3) limited catering /vendor selection in the area

An amazing time!

We had an amazing time celebrating Sam and Lea's wedding at Kingston Place! The barn was beautifully set up for the reception, and the views of the sunset from the lawn cannot be beat!

Spectacular Wedding

What a pleasure it was to retreat from Connecticut to the beautiful Green Mountain state for a spectacular family wedding! The Inn at Kingston Place lived up to the name, we were given the royal treatment! The venue gave us ample seating, a great dance floor, bar area and room for a delicious catered buffet. Outside the barn there is plenty of space for yard games, or a stroll down a country lane with views of the mountains that are so grand. Our bride and her attendants stayed in the beautifully elegant brick home next to the venue. Her family hosted a party the evening before the wedding in this spacious home. There is a site on the property that is perfect for the wedding ceremony, however our bride chose to be married in the historic church in the quaint town of Benson. The Stannard family were so easy to work with. I would highly recommend having a wedding, or any gathering that needs to accommodate a large group at The Wedding Barn at Kingston Place. Traveling there was part of the great experience!

Fabulous venue and Inn for a Wedding

The venue was incredible, beautiful location and the views are superb. The Inn at Kingston Place is truly one of a kind, restored to its original beauty. The Barn was classy and romantic. Coming from Cape Cod this was a great destination wedding. I highly recommend The Inn at Kingston Place and the Barn at Kingston Place.

Winter Wedding

We met the Stannard family and visited the barn when it was in the middle of construction. We immediately fell in love, and a few months later the barn was finished and absolutely stunning. We had an off season wedding and the Stannard family was flexible with rates, accommodating with our schedules, and worked with us to make our dream wedding perfect. We had a winter wedding and were able to comfortably heat the barn, with the help of Fyles Brothers, located in Benson. The Stannard’s even provided a shuttle service to a different parking location as there wasn’t enough room for all our guests. They were always a phone call away and willing to help a hand. The barn was beautiful, the house was clean and homey, and there isn’t a thing we would’ve changed about our wedding day! If you are looking for a picturesque, rustic venue and extremely flexible owners, schedule a visit at Kingston Place.

Wedding guest in November

We had such a wonderful time at this wedding reception. Everything about it was magical -- from the decorations, to the food, to the easy flow of the evening, all was in perfect harmony. I would definitely recommend this venue for a private party or wedding reception.
