Great venue!
We hosted our wedding at Boyden in October and it was great! The facilities were perfect for what we needed and Lauri was great to work with. The only drawback for Boyden was a lack of accommodations nearby. -

Wouldn’t change a thing
We wouldn’t change a thing about our wedding day. The Barn at Boyden Farm is absolutely perfect and exactly what we were looking for. Lauri and her entire team are incredible and so easy to work with. They had the perfect blend of being available and resourceful, all while giving us the space to make our own vision come to life. The barn is just stunning. It’s rustic, it’s clean, it was the best canvas to put our own touch on.
We ended up with the most perfect weather in mid-September, but Lauri was ready and willing to help us pivot with storms looming.
We were most drawn to this venue because it didn’t feel like they “churn and burn” weddings every day of the weekend. We loved being able to spend all day Friday setting up, have the big event on Saturday, and Sunday morning hosted a brunch. It was truly ours for three days.
Thank you to Lauri, her team, and family for going just above and beyond from day one.-

Beautiful Venue, Wonderful People
Lauri and her team at Boyden were amazing. From the moment we booked the venue (18 months in advance!), we felt comfortable with, and taken care of by Lauri. She is communicative, helpful, and kind. Our wedding turned out beautifully in large part because of the beauty of the venue itself, and because of Lauri! Would recommend this venue 10 times over. -

Best venue ever!
We can't say enough good things about Lauri and her team. From the beginning, Lauri was extremely helpful throughout our planning process and we could tell she genuinely cared. She is the perfect combination of laid back and serious about her work and her clients experience. The communication was excellent and we never felt like we were being overlooked. It seemed like every single time we had a question for Lauri, she had an answer that exceeded our expectations.
The venue itself is beautiful beyond words - so many of our guests said it was the most beautiful venue they had been to. We loved the charm and layout of the barn, and the view of the mountaints was incredible. We loved having the barn for the whole weekend. We were able to take our time decorating on Friday, which was a huge bonus and was so fun! On Sunday, we were able to slowly pick up while our guests stopped by for coffee and pastries.
We had a wonderful wedding weekend and we couldn't have done it without Lauri and the whole team at The Barn at Boyden Farm. -

A Wonderful Wedding at The Barn
My husband and I were married at The Barn at Boyden Farm this June. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the indoor and outdoor space, the value, and warmth of the team on site. Lauri Boyden was a delight to work with from our very first correspondence to the morning after our event. It downpoured on our wedding day and the team at the barn seamlessly pivoted to an indoor ceremony that was just magic. The folks at the barn are simply spectacular, you would be hard pressed to find anything comparable to what they are offering from price point to service. -

Beautiful venue, amazing staff!
I'm SO HAPPY with our decision to have our wedding at the Barn at Boyden Farm. The property is absolutely stunning and really showed our guests the beauty of Vermont.
I was deciding between Boyden and another barn and I chose Boyden because of how amazing the owner, Lori, was! She was such a pleasure to work with and really helped us have the best day of our lives. I can't recommend this venue enough!-

Highly recommend beautiful venue!
Boyden Barn is a magical venue. In the year leading up to the venue, they are tremendously helpful, kind, and full of knowledge to make your day special and seamless. Any questions that were asked by any of the family along the way were answered without any delay. Then, the weekend of the wedding Lauri was present at any time we had questions or needed assistance. Overall, not only is the location beautiful, the space is so clean, prepared for you, help is always available, and you are in very, very good hands. Boyden made our day everything we could have imagined and more! -

Honestly the most incredible, special place, would recommend it to anyone, over and over again!
Wow! The Barn at Boyden Farm was honestly the greatest, most personal, friendly, wonderful place we could have picked to share one of the most special moments of our lives. Lauri and her team were incredible, responsive, and completely ready to help make our day exactly what we wanted. The Barn and Cambridge, VT were breathtaking and every single one of our guests couldn't stop raving about the area, our wedding and Lauri. Seriously if you are looking for a place to get married that is reasonably priced, with the flexibility for you to be super hands on, or if you want to sit back and let the vendors do it all, this is the place for you. GORGEOUS inside and out. Tons for you and your guests to do before/after the wedding (hiking, kayaking, zip lining, and everything else outdoorsy/vermont). Thank you Lauri for making everything about our weekend in VT perfect.-

We feel so incredibly lucky to have found Lauri and The Barn at Boyden Farm. Not only is it a gorgeous venue (we’re still getting compliments), but to have someone like Lauri as a resource throughout the planning process was priceless. We were planning our wedding from across the country and couldn’t be more grateful to her - she was so helpful with every question we had, and went above and beyond with providing resources and tips for planning our weekend. She and her staff made the entire day flow so smoothly, we were able to relax and celebrate and simply enjoy the day.
As for the venue itself…wow. The barn is stunning, and has all the amenities you could wish for in a venue. Gorgeous lighting, a great bar space, nice bathrooms, farmhouse tables and chairs…I could go on and on. The space has a natural beauty all its own, and you really don’t need to do much to bring it to life. And the view from outside! Ah, we want to relive it again and again.
I give Lauri and her team at Boyden the highest of recommendations, and will continue to sing their praises for years to come. -

The Barn at Boyden Farm is an absolutely amazing venue. We had our wedding there in June and could not have asked for a better day or a better venue.
When we met Lauri at our first visit to the barn we knew it was the place we wanted to get married. The barn, scenery and the property are stunning and are everything that we love about Vermont. The inside of the Barn is beautiful on its own but can be decorated to reflect any style. The barn has the pavilion outside for the ceremony and a patio for an outside cocktail hour so guests can enjoy everything that Vermont has to offer. The views are absolutely stunning!
Lauri, Brian and Elisha went above and beyond to make our day perfect. They coordinated vendors and our timeline so we could enjoy our day. They are the reason our day went so smoothly. The love and dedication that Lauri has put in to the barn definitely sets it apart from any other venues in Vermont.
We highly recommend the Barn at Boyden Farm to anyone looking for a wedding venue in Vermont. Thank you Boyden for a perfect wedding day!
Misa & Nate

Everything was amazing!! Starting with the initial process of picking a venue Lauri was so helpful in answering all of my questions and giving a great tour to my mom. Then during planning she continued to be a great resource for all of my wedding planning questions including recommending vendors, and locations for the rehearsal dinner. She made the process much much easier. On the day before and day of her staff made my day perfect. They coordinated with the vendors so I could completely enjoy the day! It was everything I had hoped it would be and Lauri and her team had so much to do with that.
The Barn itself is, in my opinion, a perfect wedding venue. It has amazing character since it's a real barn on a functioning farm! The view is beautiful and I was lucky to be able to have the ceremony at the pavilion and the cocktail hour outside, but knowing we could have an amazing time indoors helped decrease stress about the weather. Also having a real kitchen (which many barns don't have) helped make the food seriously delicious. Real, and adorable, bathrooms are also a bonus over a lot of other barns.
But as I said above, the support from Lauri and her team are really what make the venue special. We picked it because she seemed amazing, and everything completely exceeded our expectations! -

Lauri and her team at Boyden were amazing! From the first day that my husband and I met Lauri and visited Boyden Farm we knew right away that was where we wanted to get married.
Lauri was so helpful every step of the way, answering question after question, helping with the seating plan and truly keeping me organized. No words can explain the amount for gratitude I have toward Lauri.
On it rehearsal day we met Brian, and he too was extremely helpful. He and Lauri both helped up set up the day before and the day of.
It’s safe to say our wedding day would not have been nearly as smooth had it not been for the two of them.
Now, let’s talk about the barn. It is simply beautiful. From the rustic feel to the farm smell, to the mountainous background it is a picturesque wedding venue. Beautiful, wooden farmhouse tables fill the barn for seating and they compete the look - no table linens necessary! The best part, when you rent this venue you get it for the entire weekend!! Absolutely no stress the day of your wedding.
You will not be disappointed with this venue. I give Lauri, Brian and Boyden Farm my highest and most sincere recommendation.
Thank you for everything,
RJ and Anna Sargent

The Barn at Boyden Farm is an absolutely gorgeous wedding venue! Lauri and her team are incredibly professional and so wonderful to work with. Not only did we have our wedding at the barn on Saturday, but we had a welcome dinner/rehearsal the night before.
Nestled in the mountains, The Barn at Boyden Farm is perfect for a simple, rustic, yet elegant wedding. Wish we could get married there over and over again!-

Our wedding at Boyden was absolutely the wedding of my dreams. The rustic atmosphere, scenic views, and professional/friendly staff were a winning combination that created a magical day. Even in the rain, we were able to have a comfortable outdoor ceremony under the pavilion. My favorite part of the venue is how it accommodates every type of wedding guest. The dance floor is large and separate enough from the guest seating you don't feel uncomfortable dancing while others are still sitting at their seat. The outdoor space is perfect for people who would rather play lawn games than hit the dance floor. Lauri is the best coordinator; she is knowledgeable, flexible, and comforting. Boyden is an absolutely beautiful venue and the staff creates a stress free wedding day -

Boyden was perfect! We had our wedding ceremony outside in the pavilion with Mansfield in the backdrop and the photos couldn't have come out better. There was plenty of room to mingle and play games during cocktail hour and the barn itself is gorgeous. Our guests are still complementing our venue choice.
In addition to the facility, Lauri Boyden was absolutely amazing. She made sure all the vendors were where they needed to be, on time, following my specific instructions and answered all their questions. While running around organizing everyone, she still found time to reassure me that everything was going perfect. Her calm and collective attitude put my mind at easy and allowed me to relax and enjoy the day. We definitely could not have pulled it off without her. From decorating, to ceremony tips, to cleanup, Lauri was right there to help in anyway she could.
We highly recommend Boyden Farms for anyone looking for a beautiful outdoor venue. Our day was perfect and we couldn't be happier with out choice. Thank you Boyden! -

Lauri Boyden, her staff and the Barn and surrounding landscape are all fantastic. Lauri was extremely helpful as my fiancé and I began finalizing details for the big day in September 2016. She was extremely generous with her time and energy, and did everything she could to help us out at all times. The Barn is truly a sight and the Boyden property is also beautiful as a whole. We had an amazing time and would not hesitate to recommend Lauri and The Barn at Boyden Farm. -

The Barn at Boyden Farm was everything we could have ever dreamed of.

The barn and views are amazing. Even more amazing is Lauri Boyden and her staff. Lauri is one of the nicest, warmest most welcoming people you'll ever meet. Our wedding was so much fun even though there was not one but two medical situations. The situations looking back make for a great story but at the time were handled amazingly by Lauri and her staff. All our guests raved about the beauty of the farm and were impressed. Could not have asked for a better place. -

I cannot say enough about Boyden Farm. The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The barn needs minimal decoration to look gorgeous and the outdoor pavilion overlooking the mountains makes for a breathtaking ceremony. Additionally, Lauri Boyden made sure our entire day went smoothly. From the moment we first reached out to her, over a year before our wedding, to the last dance, Lauri took a personal interest in making sure our day went perfectly. She was amazing to work with, so professional, and had the best vendor recommendation and gave us a lot of tips and tricks to help us through the entire wedding process. Lauri was also on site our entire wedding weekend, coordinated all the other vendors, our rehearsal, and even did the clean up. I could not have asked for a better location or vendor to work with! -

Boyden Barn was the first venue we looked at and we fell in love with it straight away. The Barn is absolutely stunning, the view from the lawn breathtaking and the facilities exactly what we needed. We had three different caters and each had their needs met with the large kitchen under the barn and the new bar on the main floor. The cocktail hour on the patio overlooking the mountains with a multitude of lawn games being played made the first start to our reception. The kids particularly enjoyed the space to run around and all generations loved the end-of-night fire pit. Laurie was so helpful at every step and made sure that we were able to use the Barn to truly enhance the atmosphere of the day.
We have had so many guests, both locals and international visitors, comment as to the beauty of Laurie's Barn. -

I had both my reception and rehearsal dinner at Boyden Farm. Both were amazing! I can not speak highly enough of the venue, Lauri, and her staff. The scenery is beautiful, you have the ability to customize much more so than other venues, and Lauri is incredibly responsive, flexible and patient. I did LOTS of research and worked with many vendors and Lauri and Boyden were by far my favorites. I had incredibly high expectations and Lauri consistently exceeded them. Thank you again for making the weekend of our dreams! -

Laurie was absolutely wonderful helping prepare for my granddaughter's wedding. She gave advice when asked, but didn't push herself on us. We chose our caterer through Laurie's confirmation that our choice was a good one. She let us take a look at the barn and surrounds several times and was always gracious about taking time with us. We needed that since my granddaughter lives in Texas and she had trusted me to pick the venue. The barn was clean and ready for us on the wedding day. Laurie was helpful that day as was her husband. And she showed up at the end of the party with lots of accolades for our decorations and for the bride. -

Lauri and her team were great! They were professional, accomodating, and extremely genuine. The barn was absolutely breathtaking and the grounds and views of the mountains made for an amazing backdrop for our pictures. We had a wonderful time there and will continue to visit in the years to come. -

I cannot express how AMAZING our wedding was having it The Barn at Boyden Farm, but I will do my best! Lauri was so easy to work with and so helpful throughout our whole planning process. The setting was gorgeous and we got so many compliments on the venue. I absolutely loved how everything looked set up and ready for our guests to arrive. We didn’t do anything more than a few strings of lights and the table settings for decorations. The barn doesn’t need it; it is beautiful as is. Fortunately the rain held out for us, but had we needed to move inside for the ceremony, it would have been beautiful anyway! I highly, HIGHLY recommend having your wedding here. It’s hard to find such a great owner to work with AND a perfect setting in one! Visit and you’ll know what I mean! Thank you Lauri! -

The Barn at Boyden Farm is an absolutely perfect place to have a country wedding. Lauri has done such a beautiful job renevating the barn. It is spacious and simply done so that you can add your own touches to make it your own. The pavillion outside is the perfect place for an outside wedding. The scenery is so beautifully Vermont. We got so many gorgeous pictures. Lauri is so easy to work with and so helpful. She had many recommendations on bakeries, djs, catering and everything else you would need to plan your wedding. If you were planning to rent a tent for your wedding DON'T.. go to the barn. When we figured out the price it came out about the same and the barn has so many more plusses over the tent rental... REAL bathrooms, no matter what the weather you will be dry in the barn, a kitchen for the caterers, and plenty of parking. I would highly recommend The Barn at Boyden Farm. You can't get any place prettier for a Vermont wedding. -

This is an amazing venue and the staff make the package complete! We got married in October and the views of the foliage on Mansfield was AMAZING. The barn is magnificent and needs minimal to no decorations, we forewent a florist all together. The outdoor fireplace and patio were greatly appreciated by guests who weren't interested in dancing all night and/or wanted to cool down! -

The Boyden staff were amazing throughout the entire process, Lauri was so helpful and responsive over our months of planning, and Elisha was my mvp during the rehearsal and on the day of by making sure the ceremony ran smoothly. The barn was very warm during our wedding, but that was just dependent on the weather and I don't think much could have been done to prevent it...a small price to pay for the beautiful weather that day! -

We absolutely loved our wedding venue and could not have imagined gating married anywhere else! The staff was extremely helpful and supportive as we planned our wedding ourselves. This venue provided a clean up/takedown service for the decorations we put up. It was very nice and helpful for our family, though the cost seemed slightly high at $250 when the venue was already charging $5000 for the day. -

We held our June wedding at the Barn at Boyden Farm and it was a wonderful spot for the celebration. The view from the Pavilion, where we had our ceremony, is absolutely stunning; the expanded patio was perfect for our cocktail hour; and decorating the interior of the barn for our reception was hardly any work at all, thanks to the included tables/chairs/chandeliers. The Barn is a great structure and had plenty of room for dinner and dancing with our 120+ guests. I loved that everything could be on the one site, and that we had the whole space to ourselves.
Lauri Boyden was wonderful to work with and I appreciated that her preexisting relationship with a few of our other vendors made things go so smoothly. We also really appreciated her flexibility, especially allowing vendors to leave a few items tucked away for pick-up the following day.
A minor negative: I'd asked during our initial tour about spreading season, and was told that they never spread the fields around the Barn, so there wouldn't be any smell. However, on our wedding day, there was a distinct eau de manure in the air. A little off-putting--though I suppose I should have expected it at a summer barn wedding!
We had a beautiful day thanks in large part to Boyden, and look forward to going back for some wine tasting! -

Lauri is very helpful. The barn is fabulous! For the price it would have been nice to have chairs at the pavilion , other than that it was an excellent venue. -

Our wedding at Boyden Farm was absolutely amazing! If you are looking for a elegant yet rustic Vermont wedding location, Boyden Farm is it! With its cast iron railings, raised platforms, chandeliers and valley setting, we could not have picked a more beautiful location. Some may not like the floor plan, but I felt that there was alot of flexability with what you could do with it. Lauri Boyden, who owns the barn, is so flexable and laid back and will work with you to make your day great. I could not have asked for a better location! -

This is a great venue - but I would recommend to the Barn to at least provide seating for the outside pavilion. The Staff are top notch and they made the entire day seamless. They were on hand and helped with anything we needed. They made sure the general public didn't wander down into our event. The venue itself is amazing, you can't hear the cars from the highway at all, and once you go down and into the small valley where the pavilion is the views are spectacular. If you drive by and think to yourself - I'm not sure it doesn't look scenic, then park at the winery, get out of your car and take the walk into the grounds and you will be completely amazed. The view up from the road is completely misleading - you won't be disappointed by taking a look from the pavilion stand. We opted to do all of our pictures first before the ceremony so we actually got to hang out at the Barn for the entire day and it was just spectacular. Price comparison wise you won't find any other place as reasonable in price. Other venue charged almost double and gave you little in return. I am in no way shape or form related to any of these people, I am not from Vermont I have zero stake in writing this review so this is my unbiased opinion. I wish I could get married all over again - my day at Boyden Barn was completely amazing! To me it was like being in a Fairy Tale the entire day. -

Beautiful venue. I did think we would have someone on her staff during the evening. Lauri Boyden introduced me to Marcella to be the contact person on staff and then said their numbers were posted in the kitchen and that they were going to get their families their dinner. I really only spyed Marcella once again when I told her the bathroom needed paper towels and toilet paper.
The problems started toward the end of the night. First a woman wearing a Boyden hoodie told a groomsmen that he needed to gather a labor party to stack 140 ceremony chairs on pallets in the dark. She told him again in my presence. I had paid for delivery and pick up from Vermont Tent so this seemed wrong. I talked to my caterer and was told that they do that and not to worry. Lauri then started to insist that we get people on the shuttle back to Smuggs. This was at 9:45 pm. People did not want to go. We were told that a min of 20 needed to get on the shuttle and Boyden staff started to tell people to get on the shuttle. They didn't want to, but one groomsman got 15 people to go and made it right by tipping the driver $20.00. Lauri then told that individual that they had stacked the chairs and they would be charging us for the extra work. I approached Lauri at that point and she said no, she did not say that.. The groomsman stepped up and called her out on that. She tried to talk around it, but finally just said we would not be charged and go in and enjoy the rest of the night. But then told that groomsman the music needed to stop. It was 10:15 and we had the DJ end the music. We were told repeatedly that there was another wedding there the next day. It was obvious that they wanted us off the farm stat. Lauri told the bestman that it was her intention to "get you the **** out". She was rude to others, but not to me.
My advice is to start your ceremony no later than 3:00 pm so that you have time to enjoy the entire reception and not hassled. -
