From the reviews

Our wedding at the Red Barn June 2017 was absolutely magical. The staff was incredible to work with over the year of planning. Each email and phone call was promptly returned and courteously addressed.

★★★★★ — Molly, Aug 2017

I cannot say enough about the fabulous work done by the staff at The Red Barn at Hampshire College. Brittany was our coordinator and did a phenomenal job. She was prompt with responding to emails. She carefully organized and put together all our details for our big day.

★★★★★ — Kaitlyn, Jul 2019

Our daughter got married here, on July 31, 2016... The setting is superb, if you like nature, open fields, views of surrounding mountain ranges, and a big, spreading Chestnut tree on a gentle hilltop, under which the a ceremony is held. Could not be happier. The management is also tops!!

★★★★★ — Jack, Aug 2016

Had son/daughter in law's wedding there. Great experience. Outstanding service. Good food. Ella the wedding planner was top shelf. Beautiful setting. Not sure anything could have gone better.

Getting married at The Red Barn at Hampshire College

The Red Barn at Hampshire College 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.
