About

The White Barn Farm is a stunning private estate situated on 110 acres of farmland, forests and manicured gardens in Brookline, VT. Serene and secluded, this historic property is nestled within a scenic Vermont valley and provides a stunning setting for once-in-a-lifetime occasions. It is owned by Mike and Sue DeSocio, a husband-and-wife duo who envisioned a transformation of this property to the perfect location for couples to celebrate in the heart of nature with family and friends. Nature provides the ideal setting with fields of wildflowers, mountain views, bird song and babbling streams. Lounge by the heated pool, hike or bike miles of trails right on the property, stroll among the lavender and perennial gardens or take a yoga class before the guests arrive. Enjoy the farm to table bounty from this working agricultural farm and relax in the evening around a bonfire. Couples are invited to plant a tree of their choice and the wedding orchard, and check on its progress as the years go by!

The White Barn Farm is offered as an "exclusive use" weekend venue rental (Thursday afternoon through Sunday at noon) mid May through mid October and therefore ideal for destination weddings (some day rentals are available in the spring and early summer). The farm boasts beautifully landscaped lawns, gardens, a variety of specialty crops (heirloom apples, lavender, rare varieties of white pumpkins, maple sugar and vegetables), fields and forests - with a number of carefully curated outdoor ceremony locations to choose from. The historic White Barn, which dates back to the 1800s, is the centerpiece of the property and is an exquisite backdrop full of vintage charm for your celebration. Your reception is in the field under a high peaked tent with breathtaking 360 degree views. Included in the venue rental is the newly renovated farmhouse with 5 luxury bedrooms with private bathrooms and ample space for gatherings. There is camping on the premise and several area options for additional guest accommodations.

Located less than three hours from New York, Boston, Hartford, and Albany, this easily accessed, picturesque venue provides a private sanctuary from the fast pace of big-city life. Mike and Sue are ready to help you put every detail in place to create a seamless and stress-free wedding weekend.

Choose from one of the White Barn Farm's all inclusive wedding experiences (A Vermont Barbeque, Blooms and Elegance or Farm to Table) or totally customize your wedding day. Sue and Mike want you and your guests to feel at home throughout your stay and they, along with the White Barn Farm staff, will ensure your wedding weekend is spectacular and centered around the celebration of your love.

Phenomenal Venue and Team

There are not enough words in the English language to describe what an incredible experience we had at White Barn Farm. Like many couples, COVID-19 changed our original wedding plans and my husband and I decided to have a small celebration in Vermont instead of a larger celebration outside the US. After looking at many venues throughout the state, we found White Barn Farm. This venue truly has the whole package -- from breathing-taking views with a spacious Barn house you can stay in, to communicative and supportive owners who can help you plan every step of the way.

Planning a wedding isn't easy, but the team at White Barn Farm (Sue, Angelina, and Michael) are extraordinary and went above and beyond to make sure that I had everything I wanted for my big day. That's another great thing about White Barn Farm -- your experience can be customizable. You can choose your vendors, which means you can choose your tent style, your caterer, your florist, etc. -- all to meet your budget. Sue and the WBF team know all the vendors in the area and were able to find me an amazing team that helped my vision come alive. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, they coordinated with my vendors and helped solve any issue that came up (for instance, a chair shortage in the area!).

Sue and Michael are also truly magnificent hosts and welcomed us at White Barn Farm as though we were family. They made the entire process seem so simple, which allowed me to trust them blindly to guide me through the entire planning process. I cannot recommend this place enough. We had a truly magical day, all thanks to the WBF team.

A Dream Come True

As the mother of the bride, I know that wedding planning requires so much preparation and planning (not to mention stress!). But Sue DeSocio and the entire team at White Barn Farm made the entire process seem so effortless. Thanks to them, we were able to have a fantastic weekend at the Farm without stress, celebrating the special day with our close friends and family.

At White Barn Farm, you never really feel like "customers," you feel like close family. Sue and her husband, Michael, made us feel at home the weekend of the wedding and welcomed us very warmly. The venue includes a restored farmhouse that we stayed in and, with five rooms and ample space, it is ideal for the immediate family of the bride and groom to stay in during the wedding weekend. The farmhouse is also beautifully decorated and fully equipped with anything you may need during your stay. And if that weren't enough, the surroundings at White Barn Farm are absolutely breathtaking! You have amazing views from the farmhouse of the orchards, gardens, and tree farms all around the property.

White Barn Farm is truly perfect for celebrating special occasions. In the days leading up to the wedding, Sue and Michael were available to give us a private tour of the forest near the farm and showed us where in the garden to pick fresh tomatoes and sweet apples. During the day of the wedding, they also worked seamlessly with my daughter's wedding planner to make sure all details were in place and everything went off without a hitch. They were such a wonderful team and their efficiency and hospitality made us want to return as soon as possible!

I can't recommend this place enough and there are truly not enough words to explain what a wonderful time our entire family had. Thank you Sue and Michael for making our experience such a memorable one!

Phenomenal Hosts, Incredible Venue

My wife and I held our wedding at White Barn Farm and I cannot say enough good things about the experience! Every step of the way Sue and Michael made everything easy for us - beginning months before the wedding with visiting and staying at the farm all the way up to the stressful weeks and days ahead of the wedding, they were incredible and made our lives easy. I knew that we were going to have a great wedding, and even still it exceeded my already high expectations. The venue is unbelievably beautiful, a great space for weddings large and small, with incredible hosts, conveniently located, and simply a magical place.

I could not recommend this venue more to any couple looking for a place to host the most important day of their lives!

Quintessential Vermont

I was fortunate enough to be invited to a wedding at the quintessentially Vermont White Barn Farm in Southern Vermont. It would be tough to find a more magical pastoral setting, nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains, natural and manicured vegetation, and an iconic White Barn as a backdrop to the tented event. The staff of White Barn Farm is equally as lovely, right on top of every detail to ensure guests and brides are having the best experience. It was easy to get there for guests from New York, Ct, MA and RI, with affordable and lovely accommodations nearby. The main house is spectacularly appointed, each room with it's distinctive flair yet blending seamlessly with the property as a whole. And for those after hours revelers, the firepit is a great spot to recount the day around the fire, perhaps sipping Maple Bourbon as we did! As an industry professional, I know a stand out venue when I see one; White Barn Farm is truly a standout.

Best outside venue

My wife and I traveled from Florida for a wedding at White Barn Farm. The location among the mountains was breathtaking. Mike and Sue and family did an excellent job making sure the wedding day was perfect. I highly recommend this venue for a perfect wedding experience.

Elegance and Beauty at White Barn Farm

Sue and Michael made our destination wedding to Vermont a beautiful reality. They provided us with everything we needed to make our wedding memorable and lovely. They assisted us with vendor information from a chef, lodging for our guests to a Yoga instructor for pre wedding activities. Imagine how excited we were to give out maple syrup that was made on the farm as wedding favors! It was this incredible attention to detail from embracing our vision for our day to our budget that made this a most perfect venue. We celebrated for three days and only wish it could be longer. Some highlights were the use of the farm house with its perfectly appointed 5 bedrooms, our outdoor rehearsal dinner with handmade farm tables and live music , log benches with padded seats for our guests for the ceremony in keeping with the natural setting , a fire pit with Adirondack chairs to keep the party going and a rope swing hidden in the woods for glorious wedding photos. If it sounds like all that, it was. Our guests have not stopped saying it was the best wedding they have ever been to. We couldn’t agree more. Many thanks for making this happen Sue and Michael . Your amazing team was a joy to work with and White Barm Farm will be evergreen in our memory-

Beautiful, quiet farm venue with incredible owners

I am a family member of the groom for a wedding in October at the White Barn Farm.

The property is incredibly beautiful and peaceful. It is extremely clean and well-maintained with neat discoveries around every corner - flower and vegetable gardens, vineyard, tree farms and wooden swings, the beautiful old barn and the amazing fire pit area. It a farm property that dreams are made of. The weddings are not in the barn itself - they are held under a tent just steps away - but the beautifully restored white barn provides a dramatic backdrop for the evening. It is a beautiful, elegant, and updated take on a typical farm wedding. There are a few beautiful areas for ceremony options and the cocktail hour space by the barn has the backdrop of the mountains. The options for picture spots for the photographer were endless! Sue, Michael, and the rest of the staff were incredible starting from planning and through execution. They are always 10 steps ahead and have thought of everything. They have wonderful recommendations for all vendors (tent, catering, linens, bathrooms, bar staff, etc) and offer packages, if preferred. They make everything easy for you and bring such a beautiful energy of sharing their incredible property with you and your guests. There are a few decent-sized towns nearby for your guests and planning needs. I cannot recommend this venue enough for an intimate, beautifully elegant Vermont farm wedding.

The Perfect Day

The White Barn Farm hosted us from Thursday until Sunday for our wedding. With that amount of time on the premises, as well as a prequel visit, you really feel comfortable as the hosts of your wedding. Sue and Michael are incredibly personable and will be with you every step of the way. They aren't your usual cookie cutter venue hosts and put a lot of time and effort with their planner Fran to make your day as special as possible. They have a lot of options within their packages to either utilize their working farm for flowers, table settings, favors, and more or you can do all the work on your own (except for alcohol which is dictated by Vermont and they make sure to adhere to any laws for your protection).

Once the reception starts they are around to help and serve, but allow you and your guests to dance and party as long as the small VT town allows (they also adhere to the 10pm curfew set by the town) but offer a quaint after party experience for those who are staying at the farmhouse (5 rooms available) by the fire to wind the night down.

All in all we couldn't imagine a better day. We still are in contact with WBF and Fran even after the wedding as they truly become friends past your special day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
