Husband and I just got married on 10/11/2025 at the Red Barn and they exceeded my expectations. During the whole planning process, Barbara was always quick to answer any emails I h...
ad. We were able to drop all our decor off three days in advance and we had food tasting several months before the big day. The food was to die for. The whole night of the wedding, that was one of the biggest commitments we got. We ended up having the braised short ribs, chicken francese over risotto, potatoes, Brussel sprouts, mixed veggies and salad. If I wasn’t the bride I would have eaten my whole meal and more!!! At the end of the night I was surprised when my guests said they loved the cheese cake and canolli bar. That was a little surprise from the venue apparently!! There was so much staff helping with everything as well!! We ended up having kids at the wedding and one of the staff members was kind enough to keep them entertained with the golf cart for a while!!!
There is so much more I can say about the venue because everything went so well. I wish we could do it all over again. I would always recommend the red barn as a place to get married!!

The Red Barn was perfect for our wedding in every way. The venue itself was beautiful, both the natural beauty in the area and the structure and decorations themselves. The staff, ...
from the coordinators to the caterers, were extremely courteous and helpful. They helped everything run smoothly and we never had any lingering questions about how things were going to go. This helped us enjoy our day. Everything was perfect!

My wife and I were married at the Red Barn earlier this month. We worked with Barbara, and she and her team absolutely killed it. We initially chose this venue because my partner i...
s an alum, but it meant a lot to write such a big check to support a school that is doing such good work in the world. We also then fell in love with it because it was a one-stop-shop: no rental tables, chairs, no finding a separate caterer or bartender, it is all just there. We didn't even decorate the space because it is already so beautiful.
On the day-of, I handed our memory table materials and other gifts, card boxes, seating charts, etc. to the event staff and they took it all and made it look gorgeous. The food was exceptional, and had great options for a variety of dietary restrictions--gluten-free, dairy-free and vegans all had plenty to choose from. In terms of it being queer friendly, there was never any issues. They even changed the bathroom labels from gendered to "with urinals" and "with stalls."

My spouse and I got married at the Red Barn on September 1st, and we cannot say enough good things about the venue! Everyone in attendance commented on how beautiful the barn and t...
he outdoor space are. We didn’t really need to decorate because the space is so gorgeous as is. One of the greatest selling points for us was the beautiful outdoor space with a large tree to have the ceremony under. I was originally hesitant to get married outside in Massachusetts because of the unpredictable weather, but the Red Barn has an airtight rain plan and the indoor backup is also beautiful.
Aside from the beauty of the venue, the staff are the true selling point. We worked with Ella as our day-of coordinator, and she is absolutely fantastic. Her role in the process far exceeded what I expected from a day-of coordinator - she was in regular contact with us as we planned in the entire year ahead of the wedding. My favorite thing about Ella is that she is effortlessly on top of every last detail while remaining so calm and centered. I was worried about feeling anxious and distracted by the details on the day of the wedding, but there was nothing to worry about with Ella in charge. She knew the chance of rain down to one percentage point (it did not rain!). She removed unnecessary chairs from the ceremony site when guests cancelled at the last minute, and pulled their place cards to keep any chairs from looking empty. She was so kind and helpful the whole day. Her personality made everyone in the room calmer and more present. We would highly recommend the Red Barn (and Ella!) to anyone considering it for their wedding!

We had our October 27th wedding at The Red Barn at Hampshire College and we could not have asked for a better venue for our day.
The location is unbeatable. With background views ...
of mountains, fall foliage, and tall grass it was an absolutely beautiful place to have our ceremony and take photos.
The barn itself is gorgeous all on its own even without extra decor and the rustic and intimate setting was perfect.
Our interactions with staff were great. Victoria was our coordinator and we really felt like she quickly understood us as people and knew how to help us make decisions that would align with our vision. Can’t say enough about how helpful she was.
It was truly the best, most fun day of our lives and we owe so much of that to our experience at The Red Barn. Forever thankful to have found them!

ny against the oak tree, set far back from a quiet road, the gorgeous barn interior and perfect bridal suite - it was all better than I imagined. The highlight of my wedding planning process was our coordinator, Ella Colton. She truly held my hand the entire way, giving me recommendations, keeping me of track, and making suggestions when I was totally lost. The day of, her and the Red Barn team made everything so simple and easy. Ella helped bustle my dress, made sure I ate and drank, and kept me on schedule. The banquet team and bartenders were so great and the food was delicious! I truly can't imagine having our ceremony anywhere else!

She communicated efficiently and left no detail unnoticed. She did things behind the scenes we didn't even realize which made our day go on without a hitch. She even had a glass of champagne waiting for the two of us as we walked back down the aisle! I love talking about our special day because of how wonderful our process with the Red Barn was. If I could have a hundred more weddings here, I would!

I can't recommend the Red Barn highly enough as a venue, in part because of how lovely the location and building is, and in part because of how stellar all the staff who work there...
are. We worked with Ella, who was fantastic. She answered all our questions as we got into the weeds of planning, made sure to keep checking in on things we needed to nail down, and made sure the day went as smoothly as possible as things were getting started. The catering options are delicious, we went to a tasting the winter before our wedding to help shape our menu and the guests raved about the food. The venue itself is a great space, and added a lot of charm to our wedding reception. The team who works at the Barn are also very familiar with the local vendors so they have an existing food working relationship with many of them. I hope you choose the Red Barn at Hampshire College for your event, because we are very happy that we did!

My spouse and I met during Hampshire College orientation, and we graduated with many fond memories from parties and concerts held at The Red Barn. Returning to the venue ten years ...
after first stepping inside, with the express purpose of getting MARRIED, was equal parts exciting and overwhelming. Thankfully, our wonderful coordinator, Ella, was with us throughout the planning process, pre-wedding rehearsal, and the big day itself, eager to hype up our excitement while taming our overwhelm. Considering the fact that we were planning from out of state, the level of support from Ella and the rest of The Red Barn team was absolutely invaluable. The staff was fantastic, the food was delicious, and the venue was beautiful. 10/10, would absolutely recommend The Red Barn for anyone looking for a wedding venue in Western Massachusetts.

Amazing!! Our guests are still talking about the wedding!! Magic! 5-star service.
Where to even start?? From day one our coordinator, Victoria, was amazing and so responsive. My ...
requests and emails were probably a full-time job. On the day of, she helped set up decor and the escort cards. She was my right -hand woman during the event like grabbing my wrap during photos, always asking if I ate or drank water. She brought me tea and waters during the night. She kept the party on schedule and helped move the night along seamlessly. She worked collaboratively with all my vendors. She helped fully execute our vision. When there were some snags with the vendors products she did all she could to fix the issue.
The wait staff and bar staff were absolutely wonderful. They were so sweet to our family and friends. They looked after my elderly family members which we really appreciated. They checked in with me to see if I needed anything. At the end of the night, Ann and others kicked it into high gear by helping us, very gently, pack up everything and load the cars. We know they didn’t have to. Above and beyond.
And wow, The food was amazing with delicious gluten free options. Everyone raved about the food… still talking about it. The seasonal, farm to table menu was outstanding. We highly recommend the ale braised beef and salmon. Absolutely get one of the speciality drinks. We did the barn brew.
The grounds and barn is so magical with the lights and the added garland outside makes it even more special. We really didn’t have to worry about added any decor.
They have such affordable packages for any financial budget.

She was even able to help with a really tricky bustle that my mom and bridesmaids struggled with. The Red Barn contracts with Seth Mia’s catering which is incredible. Our guests raved about the food. All in all, our day was absolutely magical and we truly are grateful for the Red Barn and all of Victoria’s help in making that happen.

nd of our perfect day she was there keeping us on track and solving problems that had not even existed yet. She did an amazing job taking our decorations and making the space come to life and was incredibly flexible and efficient when the weather decided to take a turn for the worst at the last minute. Despite all morning being beautiful and sunny, Ella was still concerned about the chance of rain so she set up the ceremony space BOTH inside and outside. This genius move allowed us to decide where our ceremony would be held literally as the bus was pulling in with our guests. Our wedding day would not have been nearly as perfect without Ella! The space itself is beautiful and having the tent over the deck gave guests the perfect place to cool down after hitting the dance floor. Our guests are still talking about the food. You seriously do not expect meals at a wedding to be THIS good. The bar staff also get a huge shoutout, they were friendly and worked so quickly there was hardly ever a line. If you are considering booking The Red Barn for your big day we 100% recommend them.

The in-house catering made our lives a lot easier too but on top of that, the food was incredible! Our guests are still raving about the short rib. Our day-of-coordinator was Victoria and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was on top of it through the planning process, kept us on schedule day of, and took charge of whatever I needed her to!

We feel so lucky to have found The Red Barn, a true gem. If you are looking for an amazing, rustic venue that takes care of a bulk of your planning responsibility, look no further!...
You are lucky enough to get food & bar vendors as well as a day-of coordinator when booking this venue. Ella, our assigned coordinator, was the absolute best. She met with us multiple times in person and on zoom starting months before our big day to help bring our vision to life. She also coordinated with our vendors, made the most detailed wedding day timeline, and setup all our decor (along with Victoria (who is a rockstar!!). Ella & Victoria were there all day to make sure we kept to schedule & everything ran smoothly. Our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the venue was (both outside & inside) and how amazing the food and drinks were.
Do not hesitate to book this venue, everything from planning to the day of execution was perfect. We can not thank Ella, Victoria, Jim, & the entire staff for making our day stress-free and wonderful. We are so thankful we choose The Red Barn for our special day!

of the pioneer valley and the intimate setting under the oak tree. In the warmth of the barn, glowing with lights, we celebrated with family and friends. Our guests raved about the food, and we cannot say enough good things about the venue amenities and genuine hospitality of all involved. Above all, we are grateful for the focus and excellence of Red Barn wedding planner Brittany P. Brittany is a wedding planning all-star. She kept everything running smoothly day-of with her eye for detail and the personal touches you will remember in the moments day-of when it is just you and your spouse. She didn’t just keep us on schedule, she also kept us in the joy of the moment.

Perfect venue for a classy and rustic wedding! The area is beautiful with a wide view of the mountains all around! The food is excellent, everyone will complement the food for days...
after the wedding. The dance floor is spacious, even when my wedding almost filled the venue to capacity, there was plenty of room! Plus The old oak tree is the perfect space for the ceremony, beautiful, surrounded by nature and family.
Barbara was our coordinator and we couldn't have asked for better. She keeps you up to date with deadlines, and was beautifully warm and friendly! everyone was very accommodating, even if you are a last minute person like myself. The bridal suite is large and newly updated with a full size vanity mirror and vanity lights, i was able to fit a bridal party of 8 plus family, 2 hair stylists, and 2 makeup artists. I couldn't have asked for a better venue to for myself and my new husband! It was our dream wedding. Not many people get to say that their day was perfect, but our's was. Thank you the Red Barn!

You get assigned a coordinator when you book, and we worked with Ella C. She was fabulous! She met with us as often as we requested throughout the 9 months or so before the wedding...
and more often the last month. She was great and made our day so stress free!

The absolute perfect wedding venue. My wedding day was perfect. From the start the staff were so kind and helpful. They were so flexible with helping us to customize our wedding pa...
ckage to fit our needs and our budget. They let us do some traditional Jewish customs as well such as breaking the glass, the hora, and hamotzi at the event which was very important to us and they had no issue allowing us to do so. Even when my coordinator changed last minute due to an emergency the staff who stepped in literally were so on top of it. They set up my arch and cake florals and made it look gorgeous so I didn’t even have to think or worry about setting it up and they even reprinted my seating chart when we realized a name was missing! The venue is gorgeous and the staff was amazing. Letting us into the venue early the day before and day of was also so helpful to make the day less stressful. All my guests complimented the venue as it was absolutely beautiful !

The Red Barn facility and staff were phenomenal. As a bride you are often told to expect at least one thing to go wrong on your big day so be prepared lol. But not at The Red Barn!...
From the start the process was smooth , comfortable and professional, all while promoting the excitement and wonder of it all. The decor was GORGEOUS and everyone was so kind and accommodating! Ella and Victoria were a dynamic duo that kept all the moving pieces flowing smoothly. At one point Victoria drove my kiddos around in the golf cart just to keep them entertained while we did photos! It was more than I could have hoped for !!!!

The Red Barn at Hampshire College was an absolute dream to work with! From the very beginning, they were easy to work with, very responsive, and were one of the few venues that wo...
uld allow us the freedom to decorate so that we could have the wedding that we've always dreamed of. Brittany, our wedding coordinator, was excellent.... always checking with us as we got closer to the wedding and made sure every detail was perfect. It ended up being quite a rainy day and Brittany remained positive and optimistic. When we had to pivot to an inside ceremony, they turned that room into the most beautiful ceremony site!!! Every guest raved about the food (it was incredible) and how beautiful the venue was! The service staff, bartenders, the assisting coordinators, and the evening site manager were attentive and willing to go the extra mile to make sure our guests were comfortable and the evening ran smoothly.
We highly recommend the Red Barn at Hampshire College!!!

We had an exceptional experience working with the team at the Red Barn! Brittany was a star––so patient, prompt, organized and enthusiastic. We weren't having a traditional wedding...
in a lot of ways, and had lots of friends/family bringing in DIY components and Brittany was SO accommodating and helpful, and totally assisted us bring the vision to life. And the rest of the team was incredible as well, just so friendly and helpful. The space was perfect for our ~100 person reception. We had a 4-piece band and there was still space for a great dance floor. And the food was delicious! Everyone told us not to think too hard about food, since wedding food is "always mediocre" and that was absolutely not the case here––all of our guests raved about the food!! The transition from ceremony under the tree to cocktail hour on the deck to reception in the barn was seamless and perfect. We would 100% recommend The Red Barn to anyone having a wedding in the area.

We LOVED the Red Barn. Couldn’t recommend it more highly!!!!!! Was so much more reasonably priced compared to similar venues in the area. Our guests continuously complimented how b...
eautiful it was. If I could do it all over, I would choose them again no doubt. Before our coordinator was assigned, Barbara (director of events) was amazing and so responsive. Our day-of coordinator, Maddie, truly went above and beyond for us at every single point. Couldn’t say enough nice things about all the staff, and the venue itself. Best experience ever!

The Red Barn is the total package- literally rentals, food, beverage, ceremony, reception space, bridal suite for getting ready.. I knew this was the venue for us when we fell in l...
ove with it mid-March! As beautiful as it was then, it was breathtaking on our July 23rd wedding.
Working with the Red Barn staff from start to finish (touring, tasting, correspondence the month of, the rehearsal, and of course the big day) was absolutely amazing. Barbara and her team were exceptional. They were responsive, creative, and professional. On our 95 degree wedding day they were also flexible- we were able to move our cocktail hour and bar inside the air-conditioned barn, and the natural shade from the (gorgeous) ceremony tree was perfect! The food was fantastic, and there was never a long line for the bar due the bartenders quick pace.
I HIGHLY recommend the Red Barn

My husband and I are SO glad we went with the Red Barn as our wedding venue! Everything was perfect! We really didn’t need to bring in much of our own decorations because the barn ...
itself Is already such a beautiful space! The tree area for our ceremony was set up beautifully, the cocktail space under the covered porch and the side lawn was perfect for our guests to mingle and play some cornhole and the barn area was a picture perfect scene for our reception! The bridal suite was the perfect spot for all the girls to get ready in too! In addition to the space itself being beautiful, the food was PHENOMENAL! All night and the days after we kept hearing our guests rave about how delicious their meals were! Our day of coordinator Maddie was also incredibly helpful throughout the whole planning process and was able to make any adjustments we needed! Thank you Maddie for helping make our special day absolutely perfect! The Red Barn is a perfect barn venue!

If you are looking for a barn venue for your wedding, look no further than The Red Barn at Hampshire College. The Red Barn is amazing, affordable and super accommodating and can we...
talk about what is included when you book with The Red Barn? You get an amazing ceremony site under an oak tree atop a hill with beautiful mountain views, a getting ready/bridal suite area (that is incredible), catering included with your package (because who needs that extra stress of finding catering when you're planning a wedding, I know we didn't!) they can even get your wedding cake for you from Atkins Farm, if you choose that route. They also have recommendations for local vendors, if you need help finding things. Their food packages are also customizable, if you need to add an entrée/remove the wedding cake, just ask and they might be able to do it for you, they also provide a tasting of their food several months before your wedding, so you can plan out your menu. You also get to work with one of their amazing coordinator's, it says in the description that they provide a day-of-coordinator but they are much more than that. They will work with you to coordinate everything for your wedding from the day you meet them, we were fortunate enough to work with Ella, who was absolutely amazing, she was always there when we had questions, pricing requests or last minute menu changes (two weeks before the wedding) and the day of she was awesome at keeping our day on track, while also honoring what we wanted to do and helping with last minute things (like tying a corset back or hooking the clasp of your shoes because you can't bend to do it in your dress, lol). Thank you so much Ella and all the Red Barn staff, we couldn't have done it without you! The reception space is also absolutely amazing, it is a beautiful rustic barn that is decorated with market lights across the barn beams and wrapped around the posts, it was absolutely the perfect venue for what we wanted and within our budget! Lastly, their catering staff, the food was absolutely amazing and the staff was great at keeping everything on track! Thank you Red Barn at Hampshire College for hosting our wedding and helping us create the day we dreamed of!
