Amazing GEM of a venue, great bang for buck!

The Preston Barn and its amazing staff — especially Helene — were absolutely phenomenal! The photos online don’t do this place justice; it’s even more breathtaking in person. From our very first visit, we were completely blown away and booked it immediately. Our wedding went perfectly thanks to the detailed organization and care of the entire team. I’d highly recommend this venue to anyone seeking a serene, nature-filled, and beautifully maintained location.

Perfect Autumn Wedding

We could not have imagined a more beautiful venue to fulfill our elevated rustic wedding vision. The barn and stone patio are stunning, and the on-site accomodations were not only beautiful, but beyond convenient for us and our guests!

The food throughout the whole weekend was delicious – from the rehearsal dinner in the Tap Room, and the breakfasts in the Inn, to the cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres, and plated dinner on the big day. We still have guests complimenting the food over two months later!

Lastly, the staff are just wonderful to work with, and strive to make the whole process as stress-free as possible. Our experience really would not have been the same without them. Thank you again to everyone at Old Drovers and The Preston Barn (especially Jeff, Helene, Donna, Randy, and Maria) for an unforgettable weekend!

Highly recommend Preston Barn!!

I loved getting married at Preston Barn! The venue was beautiful and rustic but still very professional. Helene, the venue coordinator, was absolutely amazing to work with.  We asked for a lot of random items that Helene let us borrow (like reserved signs, seating chart mirror, candles, card box etc.) They were so on top of it, if anything went wrong I had no idea. The food was sooo delicious too! I loved staying on site, we had our families and the bridesmaids and groomsmen stay as well which was really nice. It was really charming and breakfast was so easy! I would 10/10 recommend!

A Perfect Love Story!

We could not have asked for a more perfect venue than The Preston Barn for our wedding day. From the moment we first visited, we knew it was something special. The setting is stunning—charming, rustic elegance surrounded by natural beauty—and it created the exact atmosphere we had dreamed of for our celebration.

What truly made the experience exceptional, though, was working with Helene, the wedding coordinator. Helene was an absolute gem from start to finish. She is incredibly organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure every detail is flawless. Her calm presence and deep experience made the planning process feel manageable, even enjoyable—something we didn't think was possible with all the moving parts involved in a wedding!

On the day itself, Helene was everywhere she needed to be, making sure everything flowed smoothly behind the scenes. Thanks to her, we were able to be fully present and enjoy every moment without stress. She coordinated seamlessly with our vendors and went above and beyond to make sure everything looked beautiful and ran on time.

Our guests were blown away by the charm of the barn, the thoughtful layout, and the overall flow of the event—all of which we credit to Helene and the wonderful team at The Preston Barn. We truly can't recommend this venue and Helene highly enough. If you're lucky enough to book your wedding here, you are in the best hands!

Thank you, Helene, and The Preston Barn, for making our day so unforgettable! We will cherish every memory for the rest of our lives!

Baby Shower at Preston Barn

Booking here was honestly the best. I was so happy the day of my shower. The food was incredible, the service was wonderful and the aesthetics were unmatched. It was so beautifully rustic and exactly what I was looking for. The menu was such a unique menu and everything was served perfectly. The price was incredibly reasonable for everything that we got. I highly recommend the Preston Barn.

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.

Best wedding venue ever

My husband Greg and I got married at this truly remarkable venue this past November and we cannot stop raving about how much we loved every aspect of this perfect weekend; we're hoping friends get married here so we can experience it all over again as guests!

From our very first meeting with Helene, we felt we were in great hands. She was so communicative and walked us through every step of the overwhelming process and made everything so totally seamless. It was like talking to a family member from the start. She made everyone feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the whole weekend--even looking after our flower girl and holding her up to the barn window to see guests start arriving while we were all hidden away pre-ceremony!

Between the amazing staff who helped us throughout the whole weekend, and the truly one of a kind venue, we had the absolute best possible wedding we could have ever hoped for! It was so special to stay onsite at this historic inn throughout the entire weekend with our friends and family. Everyone is still raving about the incredible quality of the brunches included and the kind innkeeper Jeff who waited on us hand and foot and made us all feel so at home. Speaking of the food quality, we had countless guests tell us that it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding and we agree wholeheartedly.

This venue and staff are truly such a hidden gem that any couple would be lucky to experience!

The Perfect Venue

This was the perfect venue! Our event was Labor Day weekend, so the weather was perfect!! Not only do you get the barn, but there is an outside patio, a fire pit, an outside tented area and even lawn games. We brought a DJ in and we used their large screen TV for a video. We also had several speakers. Helene helped us from our first inquiry, very professional, personable, accommodating, flexible all the way up until the event. We had the event catered and there was a large selection of choices. We had 150 people attend the event and people are still talking about it. I personally stayed at the inn next-door, which was perfect and there is a restaurant on site as well. The staff were very accommodating, hard-working, and kept the event going throughout the night. I loved that there were different areas that everyone could enjoy. This is the perfect venue for any event. I would highly recommend this for a wedding, especially! Dance under the stars! #perfectvenue
