Amazing amazing amazing!
Words cannot describe how amazing the Red Barn was – from the beautiful holiday decorations, to the incredibly accommodating staff, wait staff and bartenders, and who could forget Emily! Leading up to the day and the day of, Emily and the Red Barn team made us feel so special and accommodate our every request. Emily even offered to run to the grocery store to pick something up the day before!!! She is literally so, so amazing, along with everyone at the Red Barn! My husband and I will never forget how truly incredible this venue was, and we will recommend The Red Barn to anyone looking to have the wedding of their dreams!! -

Beautiful, top notch, and 100% recommended
The communication and professionalism was impeccable. The coordinators are by far the best I’ve worked with and all my bridesmaids noticed and agreed! Can’t go wrong with this venue. Everything was TOP notch! -

Perfect venue!!!!
My husband and I got married at the Red Barn in July and it was everything we could have wanted in a venue. The inside and outside of the venue are absolutely stunning. We booked both the Stage House Inn and Nealley House as well, and both were absolutely beautiful and perfect for housing our family and friends. One of the best parts of the venue was its staff, especially our coordinator, Alex. All of the staff were so nice and professional; you can clearly tell they are so passionate about what they do. Alex was truly amazing and was such a huge part of making our day everything we dreamed of. She was assigned as our coordinator as soon as we booked our date and was always quick to respond to any questions we had. She always made us feel like a priority and was quick to put us at ease at every meeting. On our wedding day, we never had to worry about the flow of the day or anything related to the venue. Alex and the rest of the staff took care of everything from putting up and taking down our decorations to directing guests, keeping the day on track, and putting out desserts and favors. They really listened to our vision for the day and made it come true. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better venue, from the beautiful setting to the amazing staff. -

The Red Barn was absolutely the perfect place for us to get married. Our coordinator Emily was fantastic to work with, communication was superb and we were listened to every step of the way. The wedding went flawlessly despite the rain! (This is a great venue with a stunning indoor ceremony backup). The food was great, the space was gorgeously decorated and our guests had the best time. I will be recommending this venue to everyone! I plan to upload more photos when I get them from our photographer Sarah Gagnon. -

If you are dreaming of an idyllic, rustic, southern Maine wedding, the Red Barn is your all-in-one venue. Since my husband and I live in Los Angeles, we wanted to try and have as minimal stress as possible, so we wanted to find a venue that could tackle most if not everything. Not only is the venue itself stunning (seriously, less is more when it comes to decor bc the venue really does have the whole aesthetic down on lock), it also includes food, liquor, AND a coordinator! What more could you possibly ask for?! We are so incredibly grateful for our coordinator, Colleen, who took care of us since day 1. Not only was she incredibly on top of e v e r y t h i n g, but her communication was always stellar. She even arranged our florals the day of the wedding :') Everyone we worked with – from Colleen to the staff to even meeting the owner the next morning when we came by to pick up our decor – were beyond kind, generous, and just overall there to help make your day the best damn celebration ever. Would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to host a southern Maine wedding! -

We got married at the Red Barn in June of 2023 and could not have had a better experience. As was the case with almost every summer weekend in New England this year, it ended up raining on our wedding day. We had planned to get married in the garden but our coordinator, Emily, and the entire staff at the Red Barn were extremely accommodating and allowed us to make the last minute call to move everything inside. Not only were they extremely flexible, Emily was calm, cool, and collected and made sure I wasn't stressed out about the change of plans. She expertly moved out outdoor floral arrangements inside on the mantel of the fireplace and everything looked so beautiful. Besides her attentiveness on the day-of, she was extremely helpful in the months leading up to the wedding--meeting with us a couple of times to go over every single detail and answering any other questions promptly. We didn't hire a wedding planner but Emily was so helpful that I really didn't need one. The entire staff at the Red Barn was also incredible (special shout out to Mo who made sure my husband and I got some appetizers during the cocktail hour and packed up the extra cake so we had some to take home!). The venue is absolutely beautiful, inside and out, and our guests all had such an incredible time. We also rented out the Stage House Inn which was absolutely lovely. Tegan and Gary went above and beyond to make sure we, and our guests, had everything we needed. I cannot recommend both The Red Barn and the Stage House Inn enough! -

We absolutely LOVED having our reception at the Red Barn at Outlook Farm. We are so, SO glad we chose this venue. The food was INCREDIBLE, and they were absolutely great to work with. My coordinator was Alex, and working with her was an absolute dream. She made the process so easy! She was highly communicative, and so SO helpful. I cannot say enough good things about her. It was decorated so beautifully, and organized SO incredibly well. Alex seemed to always know what I needed before I even had a chance to ask. She is SO SO SO good at what she does! Our entire bridal party was raving about how great it was to work with her, and how well taken care of everyone was all through the night. Throughout the entire planning process I was so thankful to be working with someone so on top of it. My mom and I constantly spoke about how much we loved working with Alex!! It ended up raining on our wedding day, and we had planned to have fireworks to close the night out. We were worried that the weather would impact this, but the red barn team made it happen! They were able to give us an excellent show despite all the rain (and eventually lightning)! All of my guests were absolutely amazed at this site. They truly went above and BEYOND! The night was absolutely flawless! I highly, HIGHLY recommend having a reception at this site. We'd do it all again in a heartbeat! -

Best day ever!!
Where to even begin… The Red Barn exceeded all of our expectations. From the delicious appetizers to the stunning views, we truly couldn’t have asked for a better venue for our special day. Alex was our coordinator and she did an absolutely amazing job making sure our day ran smoothly. We were on schedule the whole night, she helped fix my bustle when it broke, and she made sure we sat down to eat dinner! Planning was super easy with her- we had a few meetings and she was always quick to respond to my emails. Highly, highly recommend booking Red Barn for your wedding!! -

Dream Wedding Venue!
The Red Barn at Outlook Farm was an absolute DREAM of a wedding venue! From the very first time we saw pictures of it online, we knew it was the right place for us. The space is absolutely gorgeous, and quite literally every single vendor we hired who had worked with the Red Barn in the past said to us, "Oh my gosh, I absolutely LOVE doing weddings there, they are SO on the ball!". It felt so great to know that we were in good hands. Emily was our coordinator and we absolutely love her. Super professional and friendly, she was the epitome of patience as I walked her through my ridiculous decor sketches at our final meeting, and leading up to the day she always responded to my questions thoroughly and quickly. When the forecast was threatening rain for our day, Emily was completely calm and assured me that the rain plan would be just as great (fortunately, we ended up with absolutely perfect weather!). We had SO many guests gush about how incredibly beautiful the space was and about the phenomenal staff. Every single staff member was kind, thoughtful and attentive -- they completely took care of us! We even had hors d'oeuvres delivered to the bridal suite after the ceremony, which was extremely appreciated when it took 20 minutes to bustle my dress (and by the way, Emily saved the day by helping with that too when the bustle was proving to be a difficult endeavor for my bridal party). All in all, I could not imagine a better venue for our perfect day, and I am so unbelievably grateful to the Red Barn, the staff, and Emily for making our dream day come true. We could not recommend this venue more highly!!! -

When we went to tour the property, we knew immediately this was the place we wanted to get married. There were multiple ceremony options to choose from that fit whatever theme we wanted. We had an August wedding, so we wanted outside by the tree, but had the option of being inside if the weather ended up not being great. Alex and the team at Red Barn were extremely understanding, accommodating to our requests and flexible with anything we needed. She was always responsive, and let us know if there were going to be times where she may not be available right away so we knew when to expect a response. At the time, my husband and I were closing on our house (that we were building), so as you can imagine, we were under a lot of stress and making so many decisions between the house and the wedding that we needed the wedding to go smoothly since house building never does. Alex had made our process so incredibly easy and stress free. She went above and beyond, and I am so thankful for her & the team. The food was great and highly regarded by everyone, and the day went by without a hitch! I highly recommend having your wedding or ceremony at Red Barn at Outlook Farm! The place is beautiful and the staff is wonderful. -

Incredible Experience
Alex and the entire team at Red Barn made our wedding dreams come true. From answering all of our questions leading up to the big day, to keeping everyone under control before, during and after the ceremony. Alex allowed us to have a stress-free wedding day and was so accommodating to all of our needs. From a beautiful location to a hard-working and diligent staff, the Red Barn at Outlook Farm is a top-notch wedding venue.

Booking the Red Barn at Outlook Farm for our July 2022 wedding was hands down the easiest decision to make and most definitely the BEST decision we made. From start to finish, from the very first time we viewed the venue, until months later- our wedding was seamless, amazing, and most importantly, stress free.
The Red Barn was the first venue we looked at. We knew we wanted an outdoor ceremony, outdoor space for cocktail hour, and a beautiful, big room. The Red Barn checked all the boxes. We put down our deposit the very next day as we knew this was a venue we did not want to sleep on!
Planning was SO easy and straightforward. As soon as we booked, we got set up with the amazing Alex, who was going to be our day of coordinator. She was communicative, helpful, and patient. She responded quickly to every annoying query I had, she kept us updated with our timeline of planning, and she was understanding when oopsie- we missed the tasting we were supposed to go to. She graciously set us up at the next one with no questions or drama.
The planning process was very smooth due to Alex’s expertise. The rehearsal was stress free and straightforward. The day of our wedding was more than we could ask for. Literally everything went to plan due to Alex being so on top of everything. She was kind to the many personalities in both of our families and felt more like a friend to us by the end of night.
I cannot say enough good things about the Red Barn as a venue for a wedding. It is absolutely gorgeous, I feel like we did not need too many decorations as the venue itself is stunning. The food was delicious! During cocktail hour, it felt like there were so many servers with so much food, on top of the stunning cheese and fruit display. The kitchen was also very helpful and sensitive to the allergies in our group- one being my husband who had a nut allergy. The drinks and bartenders were fabulous- we told Alex that our group drank a lot of espresso martinis and the bartenders were ready when we started ordering them. AND they were delicious to boot. The staff was fabulous! All of the servers were professional and personable. The price for everything and the many options for food and drink were well suited to many budgets.
I could gush for many more paragraphs about how amazing this venue is. Alex and the crew have made the Red Barn into a well-oiled machine. I cannot say anything bad about our experience and I know I can attribute that to them. Our guests are still talking about our venue months later. If you want to have the most amazing wedding day at a beautiful venue with wonderful people, do yourself a favor and book the Red Barn. You will not regret it.
Thank you Alex and crew for the most memorable day and a fantastic experience!

Perfection
Absolute perfection! That’s the best way to summarize our wedding at the Red Barn. It exceeded our expectations. From the very first time we stepped inside, we could see our dream wedding coming to life. It’s breathtakingly beautiful, the food was delicious, and we loved that there was space for every type of wedding guest.
Alex was BEYOND incredible and executed our vision better than we ever could have imagined!! She was so supportive, flexible, and a calming presence throughout the planning process. She did an excellent job communicating with our guests and vendors to ensure things ran smoothly and checked in with us multiple times throughout the night to see how we were doing.
Every single staff member was kind, thoughtful, and professional. When we went through our photobooth guestbook, we found such a sweet surprise: the last page was a picture from the staff with their well wishes. We cannot say enough positive things about our entire experience and recommend the Red Barn to anyone looking for a wedding venue! -
