Flawless Pros

Barn Lights is a hidden gem

Barn Lights is a hidden gem. What a lovely venue for a wedding or party! We recently attended a family wedding there. The ceremony was outside in the wooded area, and we were fortunate that after many days of rain it was a sunny day.

Carol Ann Jason

Barn lights may be the best wedding venue on the face of the earth

10 out of 10 experience. Barn lights may be the best wedding venue on the face of the earth. It had the charm of a bed and breakfast and the food of a hip downtown bistro.

Cody Davenport

Cannot be complimented enough!

Attended a wedding there yesterday. Beautiful location, with a building that screams rustic New England. Food, beverage, and staff cannot be complimented enough. Would recommend to anyone looking for an event venue.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

We are a full-service wedding venue—with our in-house bar and kitchen, you can rely on us to provide amazing food and beverages, a wedding coordinator, and all the amenities to help you create your dream wedding, with minimal stress and work on your part!

Can I decorate the Barn to fit my wedding theme? Yes!

Yes, of course! We include rustic and elegant decor (warm LED candles, glass jars, dried flowers, centerpieces, string lights, frames, arbors, flowing drapes, and more!), regardless of which wedding package you choose, and you are free to design your own custom theme in place of or in addition to ours! We offer a growing library of wedding decor to you for free, so that you don’t have to buy things for one-time use!

We can suggest local artisans and designers for you to hire as your decorating team. We even partner with costume designers, if you are planning a truly unique theme!

We’ll help you decorate your place settings and set all the tableware – this is a huge time savings for you. We have hooks and mounts for various kinds of hanging decor, too. Call or email us to review your plans!
How many people can the barn seat? 170 inside

Our new timberframe barn can seat up to 170 people inside. The barn is 60 ft x 60 ft square, with one large central grand hall that is 30′ x 60′ long and 33′ tall. The side wings contain the 2 bathrooms (3 toilets in each for 6 total), fully licensed kitchen, full bar (outdoor mobile bar too!), a lounge, and a DJ nook. We have a tent clearing for a 40′ x 60′ wedding tent rental, if you’d like to host more guests, up to 300!
Is the barn venue "4 season" (year round)? Yes, AC and Heat

Yes! The barn’s polished concrete floor has radiant floor heat, which means that the warmth radiates into you, not floating up to the ceiling as hot air… The barn and cottages are cozy all year round for Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter activities! We also have Air Conditioning (AC) to make hot summer days cool – in the Barn as well as all cottages and Rec Center. We host many Christmas and New Year’s Eve weddings.
Do you have different packages? Yes, 4 Packages

Yes! We offer 4 easy-to-understand wedding packages. Every package includes every amenity we offer (we don’t skimp on the amenities just because your budget might be lower than someone else’s). And two packages include an overnight stay for your closest friends or family (up to 12 guests). Stay for a long weekend, an evening, or an afternoon, your choice!
Catering & Bartending In-House - the best service!

Let our Barn Lights Catering team take care of the meals for your event, with our full commercial kitchen and executive chef. We provide the catering for all events at our venue to ensure the best service and hiccup-free logistics.

And, the Barn features its own full-service alcohol Bar stocked with all your favorite wines, beers, spirits and liquors (save with kegs too). We have flexible plans that accommodate your budget and preferences!
Do you have onsite lodging? Yes!
Do you offer a coordinator day-of? Yes!
