Elizabeth S. Sent on 09/14/2023Exceeded my hopes - and my hopes were pretty high!
We had an incredible experience at the Barn at Blackstone National in Sutton! We traveled all over New England to check out multiple venues for our wedding, and from the first moment we walked into that beautiful space, the Barn venue and staff blew them all away. (Did you know some other barn venues don’t even offer indoor plumbing for your guests?!)
Kate was so patient and attentive and flexible. I have health issues and required special accommodations, and even at the tasting, Kate worked with the chef and went the extra mile to ensure my every need was met.
On the day of our wedding, Kate was prepared with contingencies for EVERY concern. This gem of a woman literally ripped off her jacket to shield us when an unexpected storm popped up during our private vows!
We planned and prepped for months, and we still NEEDED someone like Kate to guide things along and execute the vision and hopes we had.
She was so kind and supportive. Everyone should have someone like Kate to share their special day!
Our guests are still commenting on the beautiful space and the incredible food!
We are so grateful we chose the Barn!The Barn at Blackstone National's reply:
Elizabeth,
Congratulations again! We are so honored we had the opportunity to host you on your big day. Our goal is to always leaving the best impressions on all guests who enter our barn and it sounds like our mission was accomplished. Kate is incredible and we are lucky to have her, love hearing your kind words towards her. If you ever need anything, you know where we are!
All the best! -

Beautiful Bridal Shower
The Barn at Blackstone exceeded our expectations for my daughter’s bridal shower! Not only is this venue absolutely stunning, the food and staff were top notch!!! We had a brunch buffet with an omelet buffet that was out of this world delicious!!! Their signature blueberry baked toast was AMAZING!!! The entire staff was just a joy!! They never stopped smiling throughout the event. Jocelyn did everything she could to ensure that the day went as planned and answered every question in a timely manner!! We are so thrilled to have chosen this venue!! I highly recommend The Barn. If you are looking for a venue and staff that will make your special day memorable, look no further!! The Barn is your place!!!

Breath taking
We chose to have our wedding at The Barn at the Blackstone National and so happy we did! Their staff were amazing to work with and went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. Kate always answered questions and addressed concerns in a timely manner and was never absent during the process. If we seemed lost or confused with what needed to be done, she would break it down for us so there was no panicking! Kate and Lauren did an incredible job the day of the wedding, keeping things on track, making sure my husband and myself were staying hydrated and fed as well as making sure everything went flawlessly (as you know it can be a little nerve wracking!). We want to thank all of the staff and the The Barn at the Blackstone National for making our special day come true! -

Patrick S. Sent on 08/04/2023Excellent experience, beautiful Barn, professional team
I was the officiant in a wedding on July 30, 2023. So I spent lots of time in the Barn at Blackstone National leading up to and on the wedding day. Kate P (event coordinator) was very helpful, accommodating, and PATIENT. For example, at the rehearsal (basically last minute), the groom, bride, and I decided to have a "Scottish rock ceremony" instead of a unity candle. Not only was this a new addition to the event, none of us had ever experienced or seen one. Kate never protested or worried, and instead presented encouraging ideas to help us pull it off. On the wedding day, Kate was omnipresent helping the wedding party, the event staff, and the DJ. She even played seamstress and helped the Maid of Honor adjust her dress.
The staff I interacted with (at the bar mostly) was friendly and efficient. The food was much better than I expected - it was great! We had a buffet setup with quite a few choices. Everything was professionally served, hot (or cold as appropriate), and the table of 10 that I sat with all commented on how impressed they were.
And the Barn.......WOW! I remember walking in to the Barn on the evening of the rehearsal and being taken back by the scene. The interior lighting, post and bean architecture, the open ambiance, and the windows towards the golf course and woods were stunning (even the bathrooms were nice). On the wedding day, the barn looked great too - all decked out, clean, organized, ready for a party. Having two bars (one inside and one outside) was helpful to spread people out and keep the bar lines reasonable.
Overall, a great place and excellent team for a small or mid-size wedding or other celebration.The Barn at Blackstone National's reply:
Patrick,
Thank you so much for your sweet words. We are always happy to hear vendors and officiants enjoy their time at Blackstone just as much as guests. We look forward to working with you again! -

High School Graduation
We have now hosted both of our children's graduation parties at The Barn. The setting is absolutely magical with beautiful post and beams that soar two levels. The patio overlooking the golf course is perfect for outdoor activities such as corn hole. The food was served on time and exactly as advertised (we recommend the BBQ!). The staff was extremely helpful and diligent while remaining unobtrusive. I highly recommend this venue.The Barn at Blackstone National's reply:
Dawn,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We also love the BBQ and are thrilled you enjoyed! We hope to host your next event soon! We wish you and your new graduates all the best! -

Heni C. Sent on 04/22/2023The bathrooms didnt work
I have nothing nice to say other than the venue is beautiful. THE BATHROOMS DID NOT WORK THE NIGHT OF MY WEDDING AND I DID NOT GET A DIME OF THE 15K WE PAID THEM RETURNED FOR SUCH A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. All night....NO BATHROOMS!!!!!!!!The Barn at Blackstone National's reply:
Thank you very much Heni, for your wonderful comment regarding the beauty of our Barn! We are very proud of our Barn facility and our team.
As you know, from speaking with your coordinator, we were very disheartened by the unforeseen incident on your wedding day. There is nothing we want more, and strive to achieve, is for all our couples to have the perfect wedding day with us at our Barn.
Unfortunately, sometimes things do happen that are beyond our control. If something happens, it is now up to our team how they handle it. The choices we make are always the ones that will have the least amount of impact on our couples and their guests.
In your case, as soon as our team found out that during your reception there was an issue, they immediately contacted outside professionals, who arrived on site within the hour. They were able to fix the problem and the restrooms were restored for the remainder of your reception.
During the time the restrooms in the Barn were unable to be utilized, we were able to provide you and your guests with the use of the restrooms in our adjacent clubhouse building. Even though not ideal, we did provide indoor restroom facilities. Our team made every effort to make sure you and your guests were comfortable.
Even though this was the first time an incident like this has happened, we immediately took steps to avoid it happening again within our facility.
We have removed all paper towel dispensers from our restrooms and replaced them with automatic hand dryers. We have also added touchless sanitary napkin systems, in the women’s restroom, with visible signage. Our hopes are these items will be disposed of in the correct way, preventing similar issues in the future.
We were happy to host your wedding at our barn. Your coordinator told us what a magical first dance you had! We look forward to seeing any photos you would like to share.
We wish you and Luis all the best!
