Mount Hope Farm

We had our wedding here in May and it was the perfect venue in every aspect. When we first toured Mount Hope Farm we immediately fell in love with the venue and imagined celebrating our special day at this beautiful location. The venue is right on the water with amazing views, beautiful landscaping, and the perfect outdoor layout to enjoy the ceremony/cocktail hour. The reception takes place under a tent that is basically a blank canvas where you select every detail to create the perfect setting. You are able to choose everything from the chairs, silverware, decorations, and even the layout. This does involve more planning than some venues where everything is provided , but we like the fact that every aspect of the wedding was hand picked. The staff at Mount Hope Farm were all incredible and helped us throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our wedding they helped everything run seamlessly and their professionalism in every aspect made the wedding so special. Our wedding coordinator Christina was amazing she played such a critical part of helping our wedding vision become a reality. The cocktail hour was our favorite part of the venue. It takes place outside of the tent spread out across the perfect green grass, pretty white stone walkways, and the cabin which is great for mingling and taking some scenic group photos. After the cocktail hour everyone makes their way into the spacious tent that is perfect for comfortably fitting our 200+ guests. I can't even count the number of people who commented on how great the food was. The tent has sides that fold down to keep it a comfortable temperature as the night goes on. Overall I can't say enough about how special this place is. An absolutely gorgeous venue with an incredible staff made it the perfect place to get married.

Everything about Russell Morin was perfect. Their communication throughout the wedding planning process to day of. They made it very simple and there was no stress. Our coordinator Christina was the best. The service was great and the food even better. Our guests are still talking about how good the food was and the little personal touches we added throughout the night. I would highly recommend them for your wedding.

We worked with Kelsey from start to finish at Mount Hope Farm and she was fantastic to work with! We had our ceremony in the gardens and reception in the barn at the upper venue. There was not another event booked at the lower venue, the cabin, so we were fortunate enough to be able to do our first look photos down on the water. Mount Hope Farm is absolutely beautiful and the grounds are well kept. We can't thank the Mount Hope Farm staff enough for helping make our day picture perfect!!

We had a wonderful wedding at the Cove Cabin at Mount Hope Farm in July 2023. Our Russell Morin coordinator, Christina, was fantastic to work with. She was organized, responsive, and walked us through every step of the planning process. When the weather was looking dicey before our wedding day, Christina also kept us very calm. Everything from the venue, to decor, to food was exactly what we hoped for. The raw bar was phenomenal and definitely worth it. Passed desserts were also a huge hit. We can really only say great things about the food. We received tons of compliments from our guests for a truly lovely day. We are grateful to Mount Hope Farm for being a perfect backdrop for it!

The team running weddings at Mt Hope Farm are fantastic. When you're planning a wedding there are so many decisions, big and small, some of which we felt a little clueless about! We really appreciate how patient, kind, and supportive they were throughout the entire process, not to mention how organized they are; in a sea of to-do-list items, they really kept us on track. We could not have been happier about the end product. It was such a beautiful day, from start to finish. Staff on site were helpful and took care of everything, allowing us to enjoy the day fully. Guests remarked that it was the best wedding they’d ever been to. It’s probably a wedding cliche, but it’s truly hard to imagine a more perfect day.

My husband and I got married at the barn at Mount Hope Farm in October 2022 and are so happy we chose this venue for our wedding destination. The grounds at Mount Hope Farm are beautiful and unlike anything we had seen at other wedding venues. My family from Long Island, used to more traditional venues, was pleasantly surprised, and loved how different - and "us" our wedding felt. It was an absolutely pleasure working with Kelsey and the rest of the Morins team. She made the entire planning process simple and fun - and day-of execution went wonderfully under her management. Unfortunately, our plans for a fall, outdoor wedding were fully rained out as a hurricane made its way up the coast, but Kelsey kept positive, pivoting to our rain plan without a flinch. Honestly, her "everything's great!" attitude kept me from having a total meltdown about the weather and I'm so grateful for that because in the end, it was still such a beautiful day! Also, everyone still raves about how good the food was at our wedding!

We couldn't be happier with our decision to celebrate our wedding day at Mount Hope Farm's Cove Cabin. Christina was our coordinator through Russell Morin's Catering — she was so responsive and kind throughout the entire planning process, answering every question we had and working with us to make the day ours. From the tasting and menu selection process, to the design details from Ryan Designs, everything was so clearly communicated and made it easy to make decisions. We truly didn't experience any of the typical wedding planning stress because we knew the team at Russell Morin's would handle everything we needed during planning on and our wedding day. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and feels like you're in a fairy tale - it is truly a hidden gem in Rhode Island for folks looking for a stunning and unique outdoor waterfront venue! The food and drinks were amazing, and our family and friends told us all night that it was the best wedding they've been to (and are still reaching out to tell us!!). We truly cannot imagine having planned a wedding without Christina and the Morin's/Mount Hope Farm team!

We got married at the Barn at Mt Hope Farm, and had our cocktail hour outside across from the Barn. It was a beautiful place to get married. The barn is a clean and perfect lightly rustic location, that really stands out even with very simple and classic decor. Despite getting married in early Spring, the landscaping was beautiful and the landscapers did a great job making it look and feel very “spring,” with beautiful flowers. The grounds on the Farm are beautiful for pictures and for guests to walk around, see the animals, and even take a stroll down to the water throughout the weekend. Although there are other venues on site to get married (Cove Cabin and the tent), it’s great to have the guarantee that only one wedding will be held each day on the Farm. We stayed in the suite at the Inn for the wedding weekend, which was great since it had a separate seating area perfect for housing decor and wedding items. Our wedding party stayed in the Inn as well, so we could gather and relax on the main floor together throughout the weekend. The rooms were very nice and they installed ACs for us quickly when it was unseasonably hot the day prior to our wedding. The Innkeeper was very friendly and helpful, and the Farm also provided (for a small fee) heaters for the wedding, if needed.

We fell in love with Mount Hope Farm from first sight. If the inn and ceremony garden weren't enough, the beautiful wood barn with twinkle lights, roaring fireplace, and our candles and decor was like being in a fairy tale. Also, as both of us work with animals, being able to go say hi to the goats when we wanted to quick second alone was so perfect. Gorgeous, amazing, fantastic venue!

Wow!!! When we first saw Cove Cabin at Mt. Hope Farm, we knew it was the venue for us and it surely did not disappoint. We had the most spectacular weather, the scenery was stunning, and everything else was perfection. Our guests said it was the best wedding they've ever been to. The food was amazing and the staff did a great job assisting with our vision. From the s'mores and firepit to the late night snacks and everything being completely customizable, it was truly the best! Morins Catering made sure every allergy and dietary request was met too. Couldn't have asked for a better wedding!

Working with Christina from Morins at Cove Cabin at Mount Hope Farm was awesome. The venue is so gorgeous - those hydrangeas! - and we were blown away by the level of service that was provided to our guests. We had the best time ever, and our guests did too - beyond our wildest dreams!

When searching for a wedding venue initially, we kept coming back to Mount Hope Farm because of how nice it seemed on paper. How it looks on paper does not do it justice for how beautiful it is in person. My husband got married last weekend at the Barn at Mount Hope Farm and it was the perfect day. The atmosphere gives off everything people love about quintessential New England. Morins works exclusively with MFH for catering and they did everything right - the hospitality, food, and decor were unmatched. Working with Kelsey and Yasmin from Morins was a highlight of the experience, too. I couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else!

Russel Morrin and Mount Hope Farm together make for a beautiful and easy-to-plan wedding! Kelsey goes above and beyond for her clients and the process is smooth and fun to plan! The venue is gorgeous and the food, drinks, and experience with Russel Morrin catering is incredible. They are extremely pleasant and lovely people to work with. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

Mt. Hope Farm Cove Cabin is a stunning venue. While pricey, I found the value to be worth it for the quality of service and exceptional food. Bristol is a lesser-known wedding location, but it's truly special. From the ceremony under the trees to the open-air cabin to the large, lovely tent with an incredible view of the Mount Hope Bridge, the on-site experience is both convenient and dynamic. We also stayed at the Inn which, again, is pricey, but so charming and awesome for photos and guests hanging after the reception. There are rigid rules and guidelines, but that's understandable. We loved our wedding there - unforgettable!

My husband and I got married in June 2022 at the Barn at Mount Hope Farm. The RMCE team, and most especially our coordinator Kelsey, were a joy to work with throughout the wedding planning process! Kelsey had such maaizng positive energy that made us feel excited and confident leading up to the big day. She patiently and quickly answered all our questions as we were planning our wedding from across the country. She made the day of the event go so smoothly for us! The rest of the team was also wonderful and made our wedding vision a reality! The food and drink experience were all delicious and the tasting was one of our favorite parts of planning. We really loved the special touch of having a newlywed attendant on the day of as well. Highly recommend this venue and team to future brides & grooms!

Mount Hope Farm was just what we were looking for! Everything about our wedding there was perfect. The food was amazing, the staff were on top of everything, and our coordinator (Kelsey) was so friendly, responsive, helpful and fun. On the wedding day, we didn't have to lift a finger because of Kelsey and our absolutely amazing attendant (Janet). It was all so easy because of the great team there -- thank you MHF!

I do not have enough good things to say about our wedding at Mt. Hope Farm - Cove Cabin. While our opinion is biased (that it's the best wedding we've ever been to), many of our family and friends have made a point to reach out and say just how incredible this place and wedding was. From the stunning views, thoughtful attentive staff, and plentiful space, to the delicious foods and well-thought details. We opted for both the Del's stand and the firepit, which turned out to be huge hits among our guests. Going back to the planning phase, everyone involved, Emily and Kacey, were not just incredible responsive but went out of their way to help us craft the perfect day. I (the bride) have celiac, and they quickly pulled together a call with the chef to ensure that they could do a 100% gluten free wedding so I would not have to stress about potentially getting sick. Nobody even noticed that everything was gluten free - down the bread rolls and the smore graham crackers! The day of went without a hitch. The venue offers a ton of options for folks to dance on the dance floor, enjoy the nice views, walk and get some private space - something with COVID that our guests appreciated deeply. I would 1000x over recommend this venue to anyone who wants an incredibly beautiful and meaningful wedding. You feel like you and your closest family friends are in this oasis in the middle of nowhere, and it's one of the best feelings in the world.

Cove Cabin at Mount Hope Farm was the venue of our dreams, and our wedding turned our more beautiful and special than we ever could have imagined. The view is nothing short of spectacular, and the tent is gorgeous. Emily Rachels is spectacular at her job, dealt with two years of us changing our minds about our every little detail, and made sure our day was perfect. Our bridal attendant, Michelle, was also incredible - attentive and made it so easy for us to enjoy ourselves. Emily coordinates the catering with Russell Morin - the food is excellent - and decor rentals through Ryan Designs, and we couldn’t have been happier with every aspect of our day. Our guests are still raving about the venue a month later.

We just got married here in the Rustic Barn. The whole planning process with Kelsey, Liana and Emily was very easy and they were quick to answer any questions I had . All their staff and vendors were exceptional and very attentive! Being able to have the ceremony in the garden area and cocktail hour right in the grass area was great ! Russell Morin Catering who is there vendor is amazing and they also provide the cake for a great price! So I didnt have to get a cake on the outside. This venue is amazing !

We are so happy with everything about our wedding at the Barn at Mount Hope Farms. Everyone from the planning team we worked with (Emily, Liana and Kelsey) were great. They were responsive and made the process simple. It was wonderful to have the venue, catering, and rentals are taken care of while talking to one person. The venue is gorgeous with a well-manicured lawn and garden. Our guests enjoyed seeing all the animals on the farm as well. The catering from Morin's is amazing. Our guests are still telling us which food they enjoyed the most - mini lobster rolls, fish and chip cone, cacio e pepe and coffee frappuccinos are all top of the list. I would recommend renting a room in the Govenor's House. This way you are at the venue all day and can relax with your friends and family and get ready.

We had such an incredible wedding at Mount Hope! Our guests were raving about how beautiful of a venue it was. It's a picture perfect location and most of the service was top notch. Only reason we're not giving 5 stars is because we (bride/groom/bridal party) couldn't go onto the venue property until an hour before the ceremony which made pictures and our first look a lot more complicated, and there's no air conditioned space for the bride to get ready or freshen up which is an issue on a super hot summer day.

Emily Rachels and her team were incredible in helping us navigate a tricky, uncertain environment and ultimately helped pull off our dream wedding. Can't say enough about the professionalism, empathy and dedication to her work. We are forever grateful and happy to be a reference!! Ben & Kate

The best! From the first visit, I fell in love with Mount Hope Farm, particularly Cove Cabin where we were just married. The event team from Russell Morins were phenomenal to work with. They were responsive, professional and super fun to get to know over the planning process. They made the unfortunate circumstances of postponing due to COVID as painless as we ever could've anticipated. The day of service was top notch and the food was amazing (I'm a foodie with a culinary trained mom). Menu options are endless and customizable. We received so many compliments from our guests, many of whom said, "I've been to so many weddings but this was the best!". Everyone we worked with were so nice and caring and made our special day more magical than we could've imagined!

Wedding rehearsal dinner We had my son's wedding rehearsal dinner at Mount Hope Farm in May of 2021. During that month protocols were constantly changing as every venue was trying to navigate safety for all guests. I can't say enough about how incredible Emily was during all of our planning. She was quick to answer any questions or concerns and helped to plan a wonderful cocktail hour in the garden as well as a magical evening in the barn. Emily was calm, patient and sensitive to us working within our budget. I can honestly say that I put complete trust in her and the rehearsal dinner would not have gone nearly as smoothly if it weren't for her! The food from Russell Morin catering was delicious as all our guests raved about their meals. Thank you to Mount Hope, Emily and the rest of the friendly staff for making such a special event be a memory of a lifetime!

Gorgeous venue and amazing staff. Working with Liana was a dream and she made the whole wedding process seamless! I felt completely taken care of from the day we booked this venue up to the wedding day. Thank you for making our day possible and more amazing than we could have ever imagined!

Mt. Hope Farm was the most beautiful venue and the team is amazing! Our wedding dreams became a reality! The staff made sure everything was perfect and checked in throughout the night.

Wow -- I am still in the afterglow from an absolutely incredible evening. We could have not imagined a more magical and intimate environment for our small wedding (45 people). The staff was professional and dedicated. We worked mainly with Emily to plan the event, and she was the most amazing guide through the entire process, from choosing our menu & decor, to navigating a rain forecast and changing up the plan, to creating a seamless flow from ceremony to appetizers to dinner to dancing with such a calm energy. The Cove Cabin, and the environment surrounding it, are almost mysteriously beautiful, and I feel that every guest left having experienced something truly special. I am filled with gratitude. Do yourself a favor and book this venue.

As most 2020 brides know, this year has been incredibly challenging and stressful. Restrictions changed regularly, as communities transitioned into a new way of life. Mount Hope Farm never created additional stress for my now husband (yay!) and I. Understandably, there were friends and family expressing some worry about how the event would occur, or what changes would need to be made. I had those worries regularly. But, every correspondence with MHF and my coordinator Emily (she was amazing!), expressed their excitement over the event, their ability to create a memorable wedding while ensuring the safety of guests/abiding by state regulations - and most importantly - they created a relationship of trust. My husband and I felt confident with every aspect of the venue. They provided timely updates and options when changes occured. I applaud their support and calm approach during what was certainly one of their most challenging wedding seasons. If you choose MHF as your venue, your are not only receiving spectacular views but an outstanding team to ensure the day is seamless. Thank you, thank you.

Words can’t express how wonderful My daughter’s wedding was. The venue was perfect, as was the food (appetizers & entrees), the signature cocktail (and all wine & beverage selections), and the desserts! The feedback I got from my guests was that everything was stellar! Behind the scenes, our coordinator Luana’s creativity and “outside the box” inventiveness in the face of an unprecedented pandemic made everything possible, regulation-compliant, and as risk free as possible. The staff was professional, helpful, friendly, and attentive. In short, perfect!

We got married here on 8/20/20 and LOVED it so much. Since we saw this place I fell in love with it and did not even consider other places. Mount Hope Farm is absolutely gorgeous, it feels magical. We got married with a view of the bay and the bridge, and we had the tent as back-up in case it rained (it didn't!). We used the cove cabin and its deck for the reception, also so beautiful and airy. Emily and the staff were extremely attentive and professional, and the food (through Rusell Morin) was delicious!

Everything for our daughter’s and new son in law’s wedding was splendid at this idyllic spot. Emily and her team are gracious and professional. The food and service were excellent. We have only dreamy and festive memories of beautiful Mount Hope Farm.

10/10 would recommend! I got married at the Barn at Mount home Farm in October 2019. We absolutely LOVED the venue and working with Emily and Renee made the whole planning process so smooth and easy. Emily was very quick and responsive. She was so on top of every little detail that went into planning. Renee was with me on my actual day and was my life savior. She stayed by my side and made sure I had everything and anything I needed. The two of them are such a pleasure to work with, I wish we could do it all over again! I would recommend this venue, as well as both girls to anyone and everyone!

We could not have had a more wonderful wedding in the garden and reception in the Barn at Mount Hope Farm. The garden made the perfect natural setting for our ceremony, and was followed by the most divine outdoor cocktail hour complete with an amazing raw bar, excellent hors d'oeuvres, and a Del's lemonade cart. The barn was the perfect size for our reception of 100 people, and was so beautiful lit up with the string lights. Russel Morin's did an excellent job with the food, the staff was extremely professional, and Emily was truly amazing as our event coordinator. She made everything run so smoothly that we were able to have a completely stress-free and joyous day. We are so happy we chose Mount Hope Farm and can't recommend it enough.

Everything at the farm was absolutely top notch!!! We were fortunate enough to get the full experience that of what is Mount Hope Farm. Immediate family and the wedding party stayed at the inn the whole weekend, we had our rehearsal dinner in the barn on Friday night (a clam bake style buffet that was out of this world), and we got married at Cove Cabin on Saturday (that couldn't have been more perfect) - EVERYTHING was absolutely stunning and exceed our expectations immensely. We highly recommend visiting Mount Hope Farm before you commit to any venue in the area, it is absolutely stunning!

We had our wedding at the barn on 9/21/19. The day was perfect and we have absolutely no complaints. It was so nice how convenient it was to have one point of contact for both the venue and caterer. Our original coordinator left her position during the planning process, but the transition was seamless and there were no issues. Liana was absolutely fantastic and our day would not have gone as perfectly as it did if it weren't for her. She made all of the planning very easy and was super responsive whenever we had questions. She coordinated all of our outside vendors so that everyone knew what to do on the day of, we did not have to worry about the details. Could not have wished for a better day, if I could redo the whole thing, I would pick Mount Hope Farm and Russell Morin Catering again!

From the moment we stepped onto the property my husband and I knew we were going to get married at the cove cabin. The location and food were perfect, and we got to bring in our own alcohol which was a plus. The aspect that made the venue worth it for us was the day of coordinator. We worked with Liana and she made the planning so easy for us. She gave us tasks and deadlines that helped ease my type A personality. She coordinated with our vendors, set up the decor, and packed up our personal items at the end of the night. I couldn't recommend this venue more!

Incredible! we had our wedding there 10/5 and it was the best day I'd our lives! everything was absolutely perfect! the grounds were beautiful, the staff was so professional and friendly. everything ran flawlessly! we couldn't have been happier. thank you MHF for the best day of our lives

The Cove Cabin and Emily from Morin Catering are beyond amazing! We hosted our son and daughter in-laws Rehearsal Dinner at the Cove Cabin and everything absolutely everything was on point! If you are ever looking to host an event ...do not for a second hesitate to call Emily and book at Mount Hope Farm!

The fields at Cove Cabin were the most amazing location for our wedding, even on the hottest day of the year. The venue is absolutely beautiful on its own with water views, gorgeous gardens, and a beautiful drive to the rustic cabin. The catering is UNMATCHED and our guests are continuing to talk about the food over a month later. The staff at Mount Hope is incredible, and really took care of all of our guests as well as us that day. Liana is an absolute magician--she brought our vision to life with such minimal time of knowing each other. Would highly recommend a wedding at Mount Hope Farm, and will continue to visit for seasonal events and dinners!

We got married at Mount Hope Farm this past June and it was perfect. We debated initially between the Cove Cabin and the Barn - they are both beautiful venues - but ultimately decided on the Cabin. We worked with Emily MacArthur as our coordinator. She was incredible - responding to my random questions at all hours of the day and night, super organized, patient and knowledgable. She seriously went above and beyond. All the food from Russell Morin was delicious and our guests raved about it. Super happy with our decision!

We recently got married at Cove Cabin on June 14th 2019 and it was truly an amazing day! The views of Mount Hope Bay and Bridge are breath taking. We were married on the lawn by the trees facing the bay (the scenery is gorgeous – no need for arbor) and had our reception in the cabin. The weather was perfect for lawn games and cocktails on the porch. The cabin has a rustic-cozy vibe that can be turned into anything you imagine. It was perfect for us, as we had an intimate wedding party of 55 people. Thanks to Emily and Liana our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and more! The duo are incredibly friendly, quick at responding and answering any questions, even sent our reminders – they went above and beyond! It was a lovely experience to have worked with them and would highly recommend the venue!

We had an absolutely perfect wedding at Mount Hope Farm (Barn). The venue itself is stunning and well groomed. Beautiful gardens, gorgeous barn, and amazing green lawns. The food was fantastic. The overall flow and space was perfect. It felt both spacious and cozy. The barn was the perfect size for our 100-person wedding and 7-piece band. The wedding was truly spectacular and everything we hoped it would be. We shopped around at many places in Rhode Island, and this captured our hearts. We are so happy we made this choice (and the pictures really reinforce the beauty of the space!). The personnel at Mount Hope Farm and Russell Morin were phenomenal. Emily in particular. She guided us through the process and planning with ease and confidence. She was such a great project manager with attention to detail, a knack for making good decisions in the moment, and a commitment to our vision for the ceremony/reception. She was an anchoring presence throughout the process. We felt grateful to have her guiding us along. Overall, we couldn't recommend this place enough.

We got married at the Cove Cabin on 6/7/19 and it truly was our dream wedding. Everyone who works there is super upbeat and friendly. Emily and Liana were so helpful, any questions we had, they answered really fast and were incredible throughout the whole experience. They helped us every step of the way and sent out wonderful reminders to us as well. All of our guests have commented on how beautiful the site was and how awesome everyone was. The combination of the woods with the beach was exactly what we were looking for! It truly was a magical experience and I would HIGHLY recommend have an event here.

Mount Hope Farm was the most amazing wedding venue. We had our wedding in the garden and reception in the barn. Our on-site coordinator was very helpful - there are so many small decisions to make when planning a wedding, and she was able to help with all of it. From our venue tour to the end of the reception, the staff at Mount Hope Farm was wonderful to work with. I was so happy with our experience!!

Mount Hope Farm was the only wedding site my husband and I looked at. We knew immediately that this was the perfect setting for our wedding day. We were married in the garden and had our reception in the barn. They staff were incredibly easy to work with and even for the most organized bride, will go above and beyond to exceed all expectations! Thank you to everyone!
