Must book!

We had our wedding this past September at the old drovers inn / Preston barn and it was a 10/10! My family and friends are still ranting and raving about how amazing eveything was. My sister is getting married next month and her and her future husband are very nervous as to whether they will be able to top ours! I am confident when I say, they won’t be able to!! Helene and the whole crew were incredible! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating to all mine, my friends, and families needs. Everything exceeded our expectations! Helene was so responsive whether it was via phone, email, text she always responded right away! Even the day of the wedding she was always right there when you needed her ! The ceremony was in the back of the barn in a very quiet, nice, rustic, wooded area, cocktail hour on the patio, reception in the barn, after party at the restaurant that was on site, followed by s’mores at the bon fire that kept everyone going into the wee hours of the night / morning! I honestly can’t think of one thing that could have gone better then it did.
Following the event the next day everyone continued to be so kind, patient and helpful when trying to gather all wedding day supplies /decor. It was all sensational ! It’s the perfect spot if you’re looking to have eveything in one area. And whether you are local or from out of town there were plenty of housing accommodations for all! Both on site, and close by!
Highly recommend booking your once in a lifetime
Day at the old drovers inn ! You will not regret it! From the service, to the apps, meals, desserts , it was all amazing! We did a walk up sundae bar for dessert that was a huge hit!
We had a short engagement so when we decided to book the venue Helene hooked us up with the pricing and even threw in some freebies. She was so generous and had everything printed out in the contracts , as far as cost go so there weren’t any surprises !
Definitely reach out to take a look for yourself! You’ll fall in love instantly if you’re looking for that rustic boho chic kind of vibe!!

Tom's 60th Birthday Party

The Preston Barn was an amazing place to organize my husbands 60th Birthday Party last November. All my guests were in awe to see this original, spacious wooden barn with an old day charm.
Filled with beautifully arranged stylish furniture, twinkling lights, and smooth music, this place was inviting for a great and fun evening.
Mrs. Helena- the wonderful event organizer and whole staff, were very welcoming and professional. The whole process from the beginning to the end was a truly enjoyable experience. The hosting, detectible food service, and decorating was perfect and tastefully done.
This event will stay with my family and friends as one of the best memories.

Great venue for a lovely wedding weekend

The Preston Barn at Old Drovers Inn had everything we wanted in a venue. It has a lot of historic charm and a rustic feel while also being very well kept up and accessible for older family members and guests with mobility challenges. The wedding weekend package also includes a lot of the services you need to run an event reducing the burden of having to coordinate with a lot of external vendors for basic things like tables, linens, catering, etc. The real differentiator with Preston Barn is the staff. Helene was our coordinator for the day and was so incredibly helpful in the months leading up to the wedding and during the whole weekend. She went above and beyond by doing things like coming to check on me while I was getting my hair and makeup done to show me a picture of the welcome table and cheating chart display to make sure it looked like I had imagined it would. She was present during the first look and family photos and took "back up" photos as the photographer was shooting to make sure we had some images available to show family, friends, and coworkers in the days immediately following the wedding. The rest of the staff was also wonderful. The kindest gentleman was with us the whole afternoon while we were taking pictures before the ceremony and made sure we had water and were comfortable. I also learned afterwards that during the reception he offered to heat up one of my maids of honors meals for her as it had gotten cold while she was pulled in a 100 directions for various things. It was overall a wonderful experience and I would recommend Preston Bard to anyone looking for a venue that brings thoughtfulness, a personal touch, and great care into the whole experience.
