From the reviews

Had a great time on the estate at the wedding as an Actor. I live in New York and see sights but the ambiance and overall natural beauty of the location will remind you to get out of the city sometime.

★★★★★ — Jalford, Nov 2019

This is a beautiful venue and so professional. I attended a wedding here recently and 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

★★★★★ — Derek, Dec 2024

This venue is so unique, special, and beautiful in any season. We originally chose it because of how beautiful the property is, my connection to Vermont, and the adjoining house that allowed our wedding party to be nearby.

★★★★★ — Ruby, Mar 2025

We couldn’t have been happier to get married at River Road Farm- it was truly the perfect venue! I visited at least eight venues in Vermont, and this was by far my favorite and the most beautiful. From the moment we arrived, we knew it was the one.

Getting married at River Road Farm

River Road Farm comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.

Corporate events & private parties at River Road Farm

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at River Road Farm — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
