The Barn at Kingston Place

ly stayed at the farm for the weekend and it made it that much more special to have everyone together all weekend. The house is beautiful and can easily accommodate the bridal party or your family. What we liked most about the venue is that it allowed my sister and her husband to plan a wedding weekend with a BBQ on Saturday and a formal reception on Sunday. Our family is from all over the country, so it was so nice to have everyone together for an extended time. My sister said that working with Abigale was very seamless and everyone from the barn was helpful and accommodating as we setup for the weekend. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone. Very reasonably priced for a beautiful location! Definitely rent charter busses to transport your guests to and from the hotels if they are staying in Rutland. The guests all said how much they appreciated that.

a special occasion. The grounds were well maintained and the barn was beautifully decorated.

for the wedding draw dropping. Start to finish we had an amazing time, could not have asked for a better weekend. Not to mention the scenic backdrop for pictures, perfect! So happy for the Bride and Groom, what a perfect start to their new venture.

enough to ruin our time, I would go to another wedding there.

ls. I highly advise you to book here as the owners are excellent as well. They allowed us to have our own goat festival....the goats were dyed different colours and we held races where we rode them into the woods. Our fillipino guests taught us how to make goat stew at the end. You cut the goat and allow it to run until it drains for the sauce...was delicious! Everything was clean on the premises and we camped on the edge of the property. They allow tents but they want you to bury your poo deep if you plan on camping. Anyway, we had the best time just try it out.

was used by the Bride and Groom for both a saturday BBQ and sunday wedding. A scenic spot in a small town in Vermont, really breathtaking. Loved it!

a true weekend-long celebration.  The venue is perfect for any occasion...whether it's a casual BBQ or a formal reception.  We had both and they were exactly what we had hoped for.  The grounds of the venue were perfect and allowed us to host over 100 guests for a casual BBQ filled with lawn games, music, good food and lots of fun!  Many of our guests commented on how beautiful the area is and much they enjoyed spending time outside around the farm.  My husband's family stayed at the farmhouse and my immediate family stayed across the street at the guest house, which was very convenient!  We chartered several coach buses to transport guests to and from the hotels in Rutland, which I highly recommend!  The farmhouse is beautiful inside and was the perfect place to get ready before our ceremony.  The barn itself is the perfect venue if you are looking for a rustic-inspired atmosphere with the flexibility to really make your wedding your own.  We had 130 guests at our reception and the space was perfect for dancing and mingling.  What I liked most about the venue was that it allowed us to bring our families and friends together for a long weekend to celebrate instead of going to a "cookie-cutter" catering hall that limits you in several ways.  Abigale was more than helpful throughout the entire planning process, always answering my questions and helping out in any way that she could.  Beautiful venue!

hole, volleyball and other yard games.on Sunday we had our actual wedding and partied from 3pm to 11 pm(we could have kept going but we were all tired from the intense volleyball the day before). Overall it was a perfect weekend wedding and the Barn was a perfect place for us. Here is a breakdown of my pros and cons of the venue to help. Pros 1) beautiful venue 2)entire weekend with little to no curfew 3)access to homestead 4) linens, tables and chairs for up to 150 people included 5) Plenty of Parking 6) Plenty of space in the barn 7) Day of wedding, venue staff helps with parking 8) very accomadating and accruing more and more decor that can be used by the wedding couple 9)Abigaile is friendly, prompt and willing to help with whatever was needed. Possible cons 1)It’s an active farm with cattle and bugs. They are working on controlling the flies but there will be some flies in and outside the barn. 2) You have to rent bathrooms - we used 802 restrooms, which had beautiful rentals 3) limited catering /vendor selection in the area

s - a unique mix of rustic simplicity and elegance with beautiful views out every window. There was something for everyone at this wedding - delicious food catered by the local Wheel Inn restaurant, large dance floor bustling with great energy all night, outdoor games including Cornhole and sunset walks with spectacular views. The celebration continued with a farm breakfast prepared by the extended family the next morning. The Stannard family’s put their heart and soul into refurbishing this place and it is full of good vibes. A fun, heartwarming experience was had by all celebrating Lea and Sam’s marriage!

iven the royal treatment! The venue gave us ample seating, a great dance floor, bar area and room for a delicious catered buffet. Outside the barn there is plenty of space for yard games, or a stroll down a country lane with views of the mountains that are so grand. Our bride and her attendants stayed in the beautifully elegant brick home next to the venue. Her family hosted a party the evening before the wedding in this spacious home. There is a site on the property that is perfect for the wedding ceremony, however our bride chose to be married in the historic church in the quaint town of Benson. The Stannard family were so easy to work with. I would highly recommend having a wedding, or any gathering that needs to accommodate a large group at The Wedding Barn at Kingston Place. Traveling there was part of the great experience!

n I asked the same thing over and over again because I couldn’t remember anything. Abigale was so helpful when I needed suggestions on what to do but let me make my own choices. The barn and house are absolutely beautiful and set in the most perfect area for a wedding or any party. We had the best day and night and have Kingston Place to thank for that. Highly recommend visiting and seeing how perfect everything is!

stunning. We had an off season wedding and the Stannard family was flexible with rates, accommodating with our schedules, and worked with us to make our dream wedding perfect. We had a winter wedding and were able to comfortably heat the barn, with the help of Fyles Brothers, located in Benson. The Stannard’s even provided a shuttle service to a different parking location as there wasn’t enough room for all our guests. They were always a phone call away and willing to help a hand. The barn was beautiful, the house was clean and homey, and there isn’t a thing we would’ve changed about our wedding day! If you are looking for a picturesque, rustic venue and extremely flexible owners, schedule a visit at Kingston Place.

. The Stannard family goes above and beyond to welcome their guests and help make your event exactly what you dreamed it would be. If you are looking for the quintessential Vermont location you’ll absolutely find it at Kingston Place!

we were blown away by the authentic Vermont beauty surrounding the wedding barn in the quintessential town of Benson, Vermont. The venue itself was exactly what we were looking for in terms of atmosphere, scenery and overall architectural beauty. When we walked into the barn, we couldn't believe how spacious it was. The layout of this particular barn provides perfect flow for a decent size wedding... something we didn't think other barns offered when we were touring. On our wedding day, we will have use of the house right next to the barn for 3 days which we are very excited about. The house can accommodate our wedding parties, and there is a guest house right down the road if we should need more space (for rent by a local family). We will have full use of the living room/dining room to hold an after-party once the main venue winds down so we were can keep the party going both nights! The rooms upstairs are spacious and comfortable. And, most importantly, there is a fire pit in the incredible backyard, perfect for our summer wedding. Abigale and the rest of the Stannard Family (shoutout to Bob and Sam) have been incredibly helpful in answering any questions we might have. More importantly, this family is flexible and wants to work with you to ensure that your day is everything you want it to be. So many venues set specific guidelines and high prices, I found this venue to be the most flexible, understanding the different visions of the bride and groom. They are genuinely one of the nicest Vermont families I have ever had the pleasure of working with. We are so excited for our wedding this summer, and we will update this review once we are married!

que town of Benson and the Wheel Inn Restaurant. The Stannard family are some of the friendliest around, and their level of hospitality is second to none!
