Large, beautiful space and excellent staff

We had our wedding at The Barn at Old Colony this April, and we truly could not have asked for a more perfect experience. From start to finish, everything was absolutely beautiful, and the entire team was so easy to work with. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but they made the process feel smooth, organized, and genuinely enjoyable.

We had about 130 guests and chose to host both our ceremony and reception in the barn, and there was more than enough space for everything. It never felt crowded, and the flow of the day worked out perfectly all in one location, which made things so convenient for us and our guests.

The property itself is gorgeous, with so many stunning details throughout. The tables, chairs, linens, and overall setup were all beautiful and really elevated the entire look of our wedding. We also loved having access to the large borrowing room, which made getting ready and staying organized so much easier.

Everything came together even better than we imagined, and we could not have been happier with how our wedding day turned out. We would highly recommend The Barn at Old Colony to anyone looking for a beautiful, welcoming place to get married, it truly made our day unforgettable.

Absolutely amazing!

This venue was absolutely perfect for our wedding! It was a spacious venue that could accommodate a large guest list and had great views. Each time I visited the venue, they had done more renovations and bought new additions to add (tables, chairs, linens, etc) Jeanine was wonderful to work with helped us with anything we needed. Don’t miss your opportunity to book them!

Best Vendor Ever

The Barn at Old Colony was the best place we could have had our wedding. We wanted a barn wedding and we wanted a rustic feeling. And that was what we found here. Mrs. Wakerman is fantastic and she was very easy to work with and made our experience easy and awesome. The chandeliers in the barn and all the lights surrounding the barn provided the evening wedding we dreamed of. The barn is a growing venue and so this venue will only get better. If you are looking for a barn wedding or a wedding under the stars I recommend the Barn at Old Colony.
