Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Set at the foot of lovely Gibbet Hill, the Barn offers historic charm in a picturesque natural setting. Choose from a scenic ceremony on the rolling lawn, or say "I do" on the historic Bancroft's Castle (additional fee), perched on the hilltop. Surrounded by acres of conservation land, each option offers unparalleled views, complete with cattle grazing in the grassland.
- The stylishly renovated and restored turn-of-the-century barn is the epitome of rustic elegance. The main room features an open-beamed ceiling, wood plank walls, antique chandeliers, and dual mezzanines. Plus, there’s an all-season deck that's perfect for a cocktail hour or small event, with heating and retractable clear siding that affords sweeping vistas year-round.
- Foodies rejoice—they feature fresh ingredients from their own organic farm. Their Culinary Director, with a network of local purveyors and an eye towards sustainability, offers expansive menu options to accommodate your unique vision and create a sumptuous meal your guests will be raving about long after your event is over.
