Best Vermont Barns You Can Customize for a Personal New England Wedding
If a "barn" hosts 3 weddings a weekend 25 times a year, is it really a barn?
These are the kinds of questions that might keep some people up at night. But not us, because the answer is obviously no. A real barn wedding is not mass-produced, it should be a casual and customized experience that can reflect you and your partner. And maybe the "venue" should care about farming or nature? At Weven, we think the answer is yes. So when we say "barn wedding" we are talking about the kind of nontraditional barn venue where you and your guests have the weekend to yourself, can personalize the space ahead of time and appreciate the nature, history and mission of the land.
If you wanted to be rushed in and out and have to choose from the venues required catering options, you would have gotten married at a hotel or country club. What about those of us who want the place to ourselves (no other brides showing up to do a final walkthrough of the venue on your own wedding day)? And what if you want the ability to create something really personalized at that barn -- like maybe do some personal decorations and bring our own vendors? You know actually make it a personalized wedding. We feel you. Our unique barn venues love their land, only host a handful of weddings per year and give you the entire weekend to customize the space to tell your story. Boom - pitchfork dropped. (That's a thing at real barns.)
If you want a real barn venue, a space that can be personalized to reflect your story and a full weekend to yourself with no other brides, check out our favorite Vermont barn wedding venues below!
