Great venue!

We hosted our wedding at Boyden in October and it was great! The facilities were perfect for what we needed and Lauri was great to work with. The only drawback for Boyden was a lack of accommodations nearby.

Wouldn’t change a thing

We wouldn’t change a thing about our wedding day. The Barn at Boyden Farm is absolutely perfect and exactly what we were looking for. Lauri and her entire team are incredible and so easy to work with. They had the perfect blend of being available and resourceful, all while giving us the space to make our own vision come to life. The barn is just stunning. It’s rustic, it’s clean, it was the best canvas to put our own touch on.

We ended up with the most perfect weather in mid-September, but Lauri was ready and willing to help us pivot with storms looming.

We were most drawn to this venue because it didn’t feel like they “churn and burn” weddings every day of the weekend. We loved being able to spend all day Friday setting up, have the big event on Saturday, and Sunday morning hosted a brunch. It was truly ours for three days.

Thank you to Lauri, her team, and family for going just above and beyond from day one.

Beautiful Venue, Wonderful People

Lauri and her team at Boyden were amazing. From the moment we booked the venue (18 months in advance!), we felt comfortable with, and taken care of by Lauri. She is communicative, helpful, and kind. Our wedding turned out beautifully in large part because of the beauty of the venue itself, and because of Lauri! Would recommend this venue 10 times over.

Best venue ever!

We can't say enough good things about Lauri and her team. From the beginning, Lauri was extremely helpful throughout our planning process and we could tell she genuinely cared. She is the perfect combination of laid back and serious about her work and her clients experience. The communication was excellent and we never felt like we were being overlooked. It seemed like every single time we had a question for Lauri, she had an answer that exceeded our expectations.

The venue itself is beautiful beyond words - so many of our guests said it was the most beautiful venue they had been to. We loved the charm and layout of the barn, and the view of the mountaints was incredible. We loved having the barn for the whole weekend. We were able to take our time decorating on Friday, which was a huge bonus and was so fun! On Sunday, we were able to slowly pick up while our guests stopped by for coffee and pastries.

We had a wonderful wedding weekend and we couldn't have done it without Lauri and the whole team at The Barn at Boyden Farm.

A Wonderful Wedding at The Barn

My husband and I were married at The Barn at Boyden Farm this June. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the indoor and outdoor space, the value, and warmth of the team on site. Lauri Boyden was a delight to work with from our very first correspondence to the morning after our event. It downpoured on our wedding day and the team at the barn seamlessly pivoted to an indoor ceremony that was just magic. The folks at the barn are simply spectacular, you would be hard pressed to find anything comparable to what they are offering from price point to service.

Beautiful venue, amazing staff!

I'm SO HAPPY with our decision to have our wedding at the Barn at Boyden Farm. The property is absolutely stunning and really showed our guests the beauty of Vermont.

I was deciding between Boyden and another barn and I chose Boyden because of how amazing the owner, Lori, was! She was such a pleasure to work with and really helped us have the best day of our lives. I can't recommend this venue enough!

Highly recommend beautiful venue!

Boyden Barn is a magical venue. In the year leading up to the venue, they are tremendously helpful, kind, and full of knowledge to make your day special and seamless. Any questions that were asked by any of the family along the way were answered without any delay. Then, the weekend of the wedding Lauri was present at any time we had questions or needed assistance. Overall, not only is the location beautiful, the space is so clean, prepared for you, help is always available, and you are in very, very good hands. Boyden made our day everything we could have imagined and more!

Honestly the most incredible, special place, would recommend it to anyone, over and over again!

Wow! The Barn at Boyden Farm was honestly the greatest, most personal, friendly, wonderful place we could have picked to share one of the most special moments of our lives. Lauri and her team were incredible, responsive, and completely ready to help make our day exactly what we wanted. The Barn and Cambridge, VT were breathtaking and every single one of our guests couldn't stop raving about the area, our wedding and Lauri. Seriously if you are looking for a place to get married that is reasonably priced, with the flexibility for you to be super hands on, or if you want to sit back and let the vendors do it all, this is the place for you. GORGEOUS inside and out. Tons for you and your guests to do before/after the wedding (hiking, kayaking, zip lining, and everything else outdoorsy/vermont). Thank you Lauri for making everything about our weekend in VT perfect.

Absolutely loved this venue! I had the pleasure of photographing an early summer/late spring wedding here last season, and everything about the night was perfect. With so much land around (and a perfect view of the mountains) you really have all the privacy in the world for your event. The staff was incredible - I had a chance to talk to one of the owner's at the end of the night, and she was one of the absolute nicest women I have encountered in this industry. They will go out of their way to make sure you and your guests are well taken care of & happy. Inside the barn is gorgeous - if you love all things rustic, this barn is perfect. Lots of lovely photo opportunities, and they give you an option to do smore's by the fire pit at night, which was very different and fun. I highly recommend checking out this venue! :)

A Barn that is magical! As a planner I always look for that extra special something, at The Barn at Boyden Farm not only does the magic happen inside but it takes place in every spot on the property. Owner Lauri Boyden is a true gem to work with. She listens to her clients, and as a venue owner actively engages in making sure your day goes off wonderfully. Her staff are helpful and knowledgable and always there to answer a question or help their fellow vendors make a wedding even better with a little extra something! From the soft romantic touches to the elegance factor, this venue is outstanding in every sense of the word.
