About

On WeddingWire since 2014

The Barn at Montague Retreat Center is a wedding venue based in Montague, Massachusetts.

Welcome! We are so glad you are considering the Montague Retreat Center for hosting your wedding!

The Montague Retreat Center is a hidden gem nestled in the rolling hills of the upper Pioneer Valley. From single-day events to full wedding weekend events, there are countless ways to put a personal stamp on your wedding! We offer both indoor and outdoor spaces across our expansive land.

Our lush Ceremony Circle, nestled up to the apple orchard, sits beneath one of the oldest maple groves in Massachusetts, with a stunning view across the valley. Our Stone Patio features a permanent 40’ x 50’ reception tent and a 75’ long retaining wall/bench. Our elegant, rustic Great Hall Barn has chestnut beams, bamboo floors, lots of glass, and geothermal cooling.

Since 2022, our couples have worked with our exclusive in-house caterer, Wheelhouse. Some of our other amenities include on-site accommodations, a wedding lounge, a yurt, an ADA-compliant lift, and accessible restrooms. A 10 person hot tub will be added in the fall of 2024, sitting atop of the foundation of the silo, overlooking our southern facing slope down to the Mill River. Two streams run through the property, and the Robert Frost Trail is within walking distance. Our bridal suite, the mountain view suite has a 9' wide window overlooking the valley. In addition to our 3 new beautiful Cabin Retreats on site, we have added options for in house floral design. Get in touch today to talk about how our team can personalize your experience in our extraordinary place. We'd love to provide you with more information and book you a tour.

The Montague Retreat Center hosts weddings from May through October.
We are currently accepting inquiries for the 2025 & 2026 Wedding Season and will be scheduling tours during the week.

The Perfect Day

My husband & I got married at the Montague Retreat Center last October (2023) and it was truly the best day of our lives. Not only is the venue itself absolutely beautiful, but the staff that works there are so extremely helpful & professional. Leading up to the wedding, I called Jason constantly and was able to discuss everything from the rehearsal to the big day. I never once felt like I was a bother & continually felt supported throughout the whole experience. I could not recommend this place (or the amazing staff) enough. We are so very grateful for them!

Perfect Wedding at MRC

We had our wedding at the MRC in June 2022. It is a stunning venue with professional staff who are passionate about what they do! Jackie and Kellsey were wonderful coordinators to work with. Their communication and planning before the event made us feel like everything was taken care of, and they ran the wedding flawlessly so that we didn't have to worry about any details day-of. Dale takes great care of the facility and the grounds; his passion is evident. Wheelhouse catering provided the best wedding meal we've ever had. We stayed on site with our wedding party in the gorgeous new cabins, which was such a fun and unique experience. Overall we could not recommend MRC more!!

Easily the Best Choice we Made

I cannot explain how great of a choice MRC was for our wedding. The venue is gorgeous, the amenities were wonderful, but the real selling point were the people. Jackie was a dream to work with and when something went pretty majorly wrong she immediately did everything she could to make it write and fixed the issue beyond our satisfaction. Also, if you're like me and don't like venues saying "you have to use OUR caterer" don't worry. Wheelhouse is the best caterer I have ever interacted with. Kind, professional, and easily at the top of the game. I generally don't give perfect reviews, but our wedding was perfect and MRC was a strong reason why.
