Terrific Wedding venue

We just had our Wedding at the Smith Barn and everything was amazing. Our ceremony was across the street at the Woodland Gardens which was picture perfect! Tammy was awesome, she always had time to talk and explained everything in fine detail. We even went with her vendor recommendations for caterer and DJ all coordinated with Tammy and the day of the wedding went off perfectly. For this reason I highly recommend the Smith Barn to anyone looking for a Wedding venue.

Get married here!!

Getting married at the Smith Barn was the best decision we made. Tammy is a rockstar. She knows that barn inside and out. She is honest, knowledgeable, friendly and runs a tight ship. The barn is absolutely gorgeous. Guests were raving about how unique and beautiful it is. Even in the rain we were married in front of the barn doors and with the twinkle lights on the beams it was the most romantic setting a bride could ask for. We had 175 people, which meant guests had to sit upstairs and they had a blast up there. As the bride and groom we went upstairs and watched everyone dancing and just took a moment to take it all in. If I could get married again I would 100% book the Smith Barn.

The best wedding venue ever!!!

If you're looking for a wedding venue, look no further!!! My husband and I got married at Smith Barn in November, 2021, and we highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend choosing Smith Barn for your special day!! Choosing Smith Barn was honestly the absolute best decision we could have ever made, and they made our wedding day absolutely perfect from start to finish! First off, the venue was STUNNING, and it truly fit our perfect, rustic farm wedding vision. The ceremony space is a beautiful garden, and the barn overlooks an apple orchard with amazing views. On our wedding day, we had the most beautiful sunset ever, and seeing the sunset over the apple orchard was incredible! Tammy and her team were the best of the best, and they were there for us every step of the way to ensure that we had the wedding day of our dreams!!! They were incredibly responsive, professional, hardworking, diligent, and helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. Tammy was available at all times to answer any questions that we had, and she provided her expertise to us whenever we needed anything, which helped make the wedding planning process feel easy and seamless. On our wedding day, I felt SO relaxed, and I knew that I made the best decision ever!! Tammy and her team were incredibly organized, and they went through every single detail of what we wanted for our wedding day prior to the wedding, so I knew that our entire event would be perfect! Once I got to Smith Barn, Tammy and her team were SO organized, professional, kind, fun, and excited, and they seriously brought such an incredible energy to us and to our day! When I saw them, they immediately took away any nerves that I had because they were so personable and excited to share our day with us!!! Their passion and dedication to ensuring that we had the best, and most perfect day truly set them apart, and made our day so special to us! They made everything so beautiful, fun, easy, and seamless for us! The day ran perfectly from start to finish in every single way, and Tammy and her team truly went above and beyond to make sure it was everything that we could ever dream of! We honestly LOVED getting married at Smith Barn, and we had the most positive and amazing experience working with Tammy and her talented team! We feel so grateful and lucky that we chose Smith Barn for our wedding day, and they truly made our day the most perfect and best day of our lives!

Perfect wedding

From start to finish Tammy and her team will make sure your day goes perfect. From my arrival to the venue (groom) Tammy made sure I didn't stress and that everything was going smoothly. The area was landscaped perfectly and all staff was friendly and prompt. If you're looking for a barn wedding look no further. The sunset over the apple orchard gives perfect picture moments. Thank you for making our special day even better.

Everything we hoped for and more

After checking out 4-5 other venues in the Greater Boston area, we found ourselves at Smith Barn on a cold day in January. Even in the dead of winter, the warmth radiating from both Tammy Messina (venue coordinator) and the space itself was undeniable - we knew we had found our wedding venue. From that day all the way up until our wedding, we couldn't have asked for a better planning/wedding day experience. We ended up having to postpone our wedding due to COVID-19, and while we were bummed out, Tammy worked with us to find a new date immediately and made everything as stress-free as possible throughout the entire planning process. As for our wedding day - it was truly perfect. Smith Barn and its grounds provided such a beautiful backdrop for our pictures, ceremony, reception and dancing - everything had a naturally rustic charm that a lot of venues strive for but have a hard time authentically bringing to life. Despite temperatures hovering around a 90-95ºF for most of the evening, there was plenty of shade to be found outdoors, and the AC made the barn super comfortable all night long. One of the best day-of perks of the venue though is Tammy. She knows the place like the back of her hand and was there to firmly but kindly push things along from the moment we arrived until the last Uber left the property (sorry for keeping you late, Tammy!) We are so happy that we chose Smith Barn to celebrate our special day, and highly recommend it to any couples looking for wedding venues in the Greater Boston area!

Just book it!

If you're considering Smith Barn as your venue, just do it! The venue itself is beautiful, and the string lights make it feel so intimate and magical. The farm also makes for a beautiful photo backdrop. The whole night (and even days/weeks afterwards) people kept commenting on how beautiful and warm the barn felt.

Tammy Messina is absolutely amazing at her job as coordinator. Everytime I had a question I would text her call her and she would call me back within minutes. She is so friendly, accommodating, and knows her stuff!

One of a kind!

If you are thinking about a rustic barn wedding, go no further than the Smith Barn and book it! Everything from the day we booked The Smith Barn all the way to the day after went smoothly and absolutely perfectly! The Smith Barn coordinator, Tammy Messina, was responsive, attentive, professional, experienced and supportive every step of the way. We had no doubt from the beginning that we were in good hands that we could rely upon to keep things seamlessly on track the day of the wedding.
As for the Barn itself, it is charming, inviting and a unique venue. It is a real barn, not a function facility built to look like a barn giving it character. Every one of our guests commented on how it felt intimate and that they were not "guests." Rather, they were friends and family enjoying an evening together.
The Smith Barn is one of a kind when it comes to venue and service.

Dream Venue on the Farm

Smith Barn is a gem. Tammy is a consummate professional and runs the show here. She truly keeps the integrity of the barn and will be there every step of the way until your wedding day. On our wedding day, Tammy was behind the scenes making sure everything went perfect and we could not thank her enough for making our day so special. From the brick walkway for the outdoor ceremony, to the stunning string lights hanging in the air conditioned barn and all the little touches truly make this a dream venue!

Stunning and versatile Venue!

Wow what a gorgeous venue! It is stunning and versatile. There are historic buildings, gardens, orchards and the barn itself is rustically beautiful. This was great for photos. Be sure to take advantage of the entire property. We got married in the garden across the street from the barn and used the gazebo for a cigar bar. Barn needs little decoration as the lights are always strung from the banister and columns. Tammy, the event director is very organized and was responsive and easy to work with. You choose from a list of caterers, all of which were excellent.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
