My husband and I can't say enough great things about our experience at The Red Barn at Outlook Farm for our wedding. Everything was truly outstanding. Alex (our wedding coordinator) was incredibly organized and invested in making sure our special day was what we imagined. We even had unexpected weather the day of and Alex was so helpful with rearranging a few details last minute. All of the staff were absolutely wonderful and helpful. The food was delicious and the venue is stunning. We are so grateful that we chose to get married at The Red Barn at Outlook Farm. Thank you for giving us the BEST wedding we could ever ask for!

The Red Barn at Outlook Farm was an exceptional wedding venue! We could not have picked a better setting for our wedding reception. The venue was clean, polished, and truly does not need too much (or any) decor to make it feel like a special place. The grounds of the Links course were perfect as well as the guys in the bridal party played the course the day before our wedding. Emily, our wedding coordinator at the Red Barn, was responsive, positive, engaged, involved, and so organized. We cannot say enough good things about her; Emily is amazing at her work! All of our special requests to make our wedding day feel like OUR day were heard, appreciated, and accounted for. Let’s not forget to mention the perfect New England fall foliage at this location during our end of October wedding date. We would recommend this venue any and all couples looking in the future. Thank you, Red Barn!

Our wedding at the Red Barn in early November was absolutely perfect! It was truly the best day! The actual venue itself is stunning, the staff was amazing and super friendly, the food was delicious, the list goes on and on! Most importantly, our coordinator Alex was amazing. Alex went above and beyond throughout the entire process. She is so professional, organized and responsive! Alex made our wedding day run so smoothly - ensuring we stayed on track and enjoyed every minute of the day. We could not be more grateful to everyone at the Red Barn for making our day so special. THANK YOU 🤍

Our wedding was in September 2024, and we cannot recommend the Red Barn enough. The team was so easy to work with, always responsive, and very accommodating. They are doing everything right. Our coordinator Alex was amazing. Our guests were all talking about the food, and how smooth the whole day went. We also used the Stage House Inn and Nealley House for our guests to stay and for our rehearsal dinner which really completed the whole weekend.

We found The Red Barn through Pinterest and realized it was the perfect halfway point for both sides of our families (MA and ME). Their website had most of the information we needed and was very transparent about their pricing. This included detailed lists of all of their packages (ceremony, food, and beverage). They included ceremony space, cocktail hour space, reception space, catering, bar services, and day-of coordinator. We worked with Alex as our coordinator who helped us tremendously during the months leading up to our wedding. She was always organized, responsive, helpful, and professional. On the day of our wedding, she had such a calm demeanor and she really made sure everything ran smoothly. We could not have asked for anyone better.

The Red Barn is the best! Alex Jones communicated with us from the very beginning stages to the day of. No question was too small or silly. Our guests are still raving about our venue and the food. The day of, we had some spring showers. We had to make a quick decision to move things indoors and it ended up being beautiful! The team acted fast and efficiently and flipped everything indoors. Our guests ended up standing up and it made the ceremony very romantic and intimate. All of our vendors loved working with the Red Barn crew too! Book this venue! Everyone is amazing and it’s gorgeous!

If you’re looking for a perfect rustic venue with great staff and a magical wedding this is the venue for you. From the beginning I knew I wanted a rustic wedding and this place exceeded my expectations. From the beautiful wooden beams and grand doors in the reception to the bistro lights, this place was a gem. All of the staff helped make the process of planning a wedding easy especially when my husband was deployed during a year of our engagement. We had the honor of having Emily as our coordinator and I cannot say enough great things about her. She was responsive to both emails and calls, always answered my questions no matter how silly and helped our wedding go effortless from getting people corralled for photos to helping me bustle my dress all night to checking to make sure we were eating and enjoying our night. We had so many people tell us how much fun they had and we couldn’t have done it all without Emily and the entire staff at the red barn. I hope to go to a wedding at this venue again to get to experience the magic I felt.

We got married at The Red Barn this June, and we can not recommend this wedding venue enough. We knew from the moment we toured the building with Lisa that this was where we wanted to get married—not only because the venue was stunning but also because Lisa was so kind and professional. Our coordinator, Alex, was an absolute dream to work with. She was so supportive during the whole planning process and answered all of our questions promptly. Our wedding day was absolutely perfect. It was so nice to be able to relax and enjoy the day because we knew that Alex was taking care of everything. If you are considering The Red Barn for your wedding- DO IT! You will not be disappointed. Our families and friends still talk about how great the wedding was and how professional the staff was.
We also stayed at the Nealley House and The Stage House Inn. The Nealley House was perfect for our immediate families. They appreciated the kitchen space and all the bathrooms throughout the house. We even hosted a welcome party the night before the wedding and got to make use of the backyard and deck. The bridesmaids, mothers, and I (the bride) got ready here in the Bridal Suite. There is a separate room for hair and makeup, which makes getting ready feel more relaxing. The bridal suite and other rooms in the Nealley House made for the most dreamy pictures.
Many of our friends and families stayed at the Stage House Inn for the weekend. Everyone had very positive things to say about the rooms—they were spacious and clean, and the beds were comfortable. They also said that the staff there was very professional and kind.

We had our Wedding at the Red Barn in July and had the best experience we could ask for! Our guests cannot stop raving about how perfect the wedding was. The appetizers were delicious, specifically the mini lobster rolls, and the dinners were great (people said the Haddock was the best they’ve ever had). We opted for an indoor ceremony and the Red Barn Team operates like a well-oiled machine to flip the room from ceremony to dinner. After the ceremony, our guests were able to enjoy cocktail Hour out on the lawn, under the Veranda and in the foyer space. There was plenty of room for our guests to mingle and although it was a hot July day, the Veranda offers shade and a nice breeze which made cocktail hour so enjoyable.
Alex Andrews (Jones) was our Coordinator and we could not have asked for a better person to work with! Every question we had was answered thoroughly and quickly. Alex does not miss a single detail. She was always so calm, professional and straight to the point. She works extremely hard and does so for the benefit of her couples. My family could not get over how helpful and kind Alex and her Team were to us all weekend. They made sure we had appetizers and drinks all throughout cocktail hour and checked in during dinner to ensure everything was going well or if we needed anything. I had zero stress/anxiety on how the day would go because I knew Alex had everything covered.
We truly cannot thank Alex and the Red Barn Team enough!!

Our wedding day could not have been any more perfect thanks to everyone at The Red Barn. As soon as my now-husband and I walked into the barn, we couldn’t imagine getting married anywhere else. The barn itself is a work of art - even the bathrooms are gorgeous! The Red Barn Team is the best of the best. Our assigned coordinator, Emily, played a HUGE role in making our wedding day the day of our dreams. From the moment we booked our date and through the wedding day itself, she went out of her way to be helpful, responsive, and reassuring. My husband and I truly felt that we could relax and soak in every moment of our wedding day thanks to Emily and the rest of the team, and there are no words to describe how grateful we are for that. We received so many compliments from guests about the food, drinks, decor, and friendliness of the staff. Thanks to everyone at The Red Barn, our wedding experience exceeded our expectations by a landslide.

We had the best experience getting married at The Red Barn! From the first tour we had with Lisa, she was so informative and helpful without being pushy. We knew pretty quickly that we loved the venue, and that was while it was torrentially down-pouring! The all inclusive pricing is very straightforward but still allowed for plenty of options to make it feel more personalized. And our coordinator, Emily, was unbelievable! From the multiple phone calls with her to review every aspect of our wedding, her accommodating us with specific timeline requests but also thoughtfully steering us in the right direction with certain decisions, to her making sure a certain beer was on tap for our bar, for corralling our energetic wedding party, helping my mom bustle my dress and fixing my hair mid reception, making sure we had drinks and food, checking in with me to see if I wanted a little extra time during cocktail —I truly don’t know how she does it but she was by far the reason behind everything at our wedding running so smoothly so we could have fun and enjoy our night! I can’t thank her and her staff enough for all of their hard work and giving my husband and I the best night of our lives!

We had our wedding at The Red Barn this past May and everything was beyond perfect! Our wedding coordinator, Alex was so on top of everything during the planning stages and throughout the wedding itself. She is so incredible and we feel so lucky to have worked with her! The entire staff at The Red Barn was so amazing as well. The space is stunning and the food and drinks were incredible. We truly cannot say enough good things about The Red Barn!
We had our reception and ceremony indoors and the fireplace backdrop was absolutely perfect. The space itself is beautiful and we really didn’t feel that we needed to do a ton of decorating which lessened stress and saved us on decor costs. However, all we really had to do was drop off what decorations we did have and Alex and her team took care of set up and breakdown with our vendors. We really didn’t have a single worry the weekend of the wedding. The amazing staff at The Red Barn took care of it all.
We also stayed at Stage House Inn the weekend of the wedding and got ready there. Darien was a pleasure to work with and made coordinating room blocks so easy! The bridal suite comfortably fit all the girls getting ready (12 total people) plus 4 hair and makeup girls. It was also the perfect room for getting ready photos!
We held our rehearsal lunch at The Links restaurant and the staff was so accommodating! We had a last minute reservation for around 25 and they took us no problem. Excellent and affordable food and drinks!
Overall we had a perfect experience with every aspect of The Red Barn. We absolutely would recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect spot for their wedding!

The Red Barn was truly my perfect wedding venue. I was assigned Alex as my coordinator and she was so excellent to work with, along with the entire team at The Red Barn. They have organized planning tools, our meetings were always comprehensive and she answered all my questions throughout the process. The day before and day-of she executed all my visions completely and ensured to constantly check-in with us throughout the day. The actual venue is beautiful and we had so many compliments on the food and drink! We had the perfect day.

Whether you’re a Berwick, ME local or visitor to the great “Vacationland”, The Red Barn at Outlook Farm is one of those wedding venues that should not be overlooked. My husband was born and raised in Berwick and planted the seed about the Red Barn in my mind as we were searching for the perfect New England venue after now living in North Carolina. From the gorgeous overlook of the golf course, to the beautiful modern barn, it quickly became our top choice. The staff make it so easy to fall in love with The Red Barn and also made the process a piece of cake to plan from several states away. Thankfully, we were able to meet with Lisa Flynn virtually (as my sister met her in person) and she showed us around the entire building and ceremony space. She explained all the package details and noted that they are straight forward with all prices and fees listed out and included in the total pricing. Wedding budgeting is HARD, so to see that the package is all inclusive was a huge relief. When you sign the contract you are assigned a day-of coordinator to help work through any stressors and kinks on your big day. We were so lucky to have Alex Jones as our coordinator as she helped with more than just day-of needs. She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and helpful when I emailed her questions almost every other day for months leading up to the wedding. On the wedding day, she helped ensure that we kept our timeline flowing and everyone calm. She was an absolute super hero and easily became our best friend for the night—handing us drinks, making sure we ate, and making sure we were having the best time. And speaking of food, their caterers are absolutely FANTASTIC and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. No guest was disappointed! We would absolutely recommend this venue and staff to anyone looking for elegance, ease, and expertise!

I could not have asked for a more perfect wedding day and that is thanks to Alex and the Red Barn. Alex was very responsive to all of my emails leading up to the big day. Day of things were so organized and she was there to help me with anything I needed. The food was amazing, a month later my guests are still raving about it. The bridal party stayed at the Nealley House which was absolutely beautiful and made for a great after party spot. It was nice being so close to the venue and having shuttles through them. Our guests stayed at the Stage House Inn across the street and loved it as well. The Red Barn is absolutely stunning and was exactly the aesthetic we were looking for. We loved the elegant barn look while also being on a golf course as my husband and I love to golf. They were very accommodating with booking tee times for our guests wedding weekend and even gave us a free round! All of the staff at the red barn were amazing, there was rarely a line at the bar and the food came out promptly which left plenty of time for dancing. Nothing is worse than when dinner gets dragged out and takes time away from dancing but that was not the case at all. Very impressed that the food can be that good while coming out so quickly. Overall I am so happy we chose to get married at the Red Barn!

We had our wedding NYE 2023 and had the absolute pleasure of working with Emily at The Red Barn! She was always available to bounce ideas off of months before the wedding and days before she was my main girl working with all the vendors to make sure set up was seamless! The weekend of our wedding she made me feel so calm and that she had everything handled and under control from the rehearsal to the very last second of our wedding! SHE IS AMAZING! She was so attentive to us and the bridal party all night making sure we had all the snacks and drinks that we needed. Not only was Emily an absolute dream to work with but the entire staff at The Red Barn and The Stage House Inn were so easy and great to work with!
Our entire bridal party and immediate family stayed at both The Stage House Inn and The Nealley House which was so convenient and fun to have everybody so close all weekend! Both places were very clean and a beautiful spot for getting ready/bridal party photos! Check-in was easy for all guests and we were able to place welcome bags in all the rooms before guests arrived, which was an added treat.
I would recommend these venues over and over again!

Such a gorgeous venue! We had a winter wedding and everything about the planning process was so easy with their wedding coordination team. We also appreciated that all/most of the charges were all rolled into one price up front so there really weren’t any surprises. It was also great to not even need to hire additional vendors since most of what you’d need was included in their services- definitely a money saver.

I had my wedding at the Red Barn at Outlook Farm in October 2023 and it was an unforgettable experience. The venue was stunning –landscapes and greenery were beautiful, covered veranda overlooking the golf course during sunset, and grand ballroom was breathtaking with wooden beams, stone fireplaces, and woodwork throughout. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive throughout the event. All aspects of the evening ran smoothly – it is evident the Red Barn has mastered wedding planning, logistics, and throwing FANTASTIC events. Huge shout out to my wedding coordinator Emily. She was friendly, polite, professional and an absolute pleasure to be around. She was available through the months leading to address any of my questions and she was a rockstar the day of my wedding. She arranged a DIY photobooth better than I ever could have, helped cart my husband and I around to several picture spots around the venue, assisted with my bustle when I was having a malfunction, and my entire wedding party couldn’t stop raving about her! Overall, I would highly recommend the Red Barn at Outlook Farm to anyone looking for a gorgeous and unforgettable wedding venue.

My husband and I got married at the Red Barn in September and could not have asked for a more beautiful venue and perfect wedding day.
The entire staff was absolutely amazing, especially our wedding coordinator, Emily. We can’t thank Emily enough for all of her hard work, organization, communication, and making us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the whole process. She went above and beyond the whole day including being quick to help fix my bustle when it came undone without even asking. Everyone kept complimenting on how great she was, the staff, venue, food, ceremony, and of course the fireworks to end an amazing night! The bridal party also stayed at the new Nealley house, which was beautiful and a great space to get ready at prior to the wedding. The groom’s side played golf at Outlook Golf Course in the morning and had a great time as well. Overall, we had such a great experience at the Red Barn and would highly recommend as a wedding venue!

My husband and I got married at the Red Barn in July and it was everything we could have wanted in a venue. The inside and outside of the venue are absolutely stunning. We booked both the Stage House Inn and Nealley House as well, and both were absolutely beautiful and perfect for housing our family and friends. One of the best parts of the venue was its staff, especially our coordinator, Alex. All of the staff were so nice and professional; you can clearly tell they are so passionate about what they do. Alex was truly amazing and was such a huge part of making our day everything we dreamed of. She was assigned as our coordinator as soon as we booked our date and was always quick to respond to any questions we had. She always made us feel like a priority and was quick to put us at ease at every meeting. On our wedding day, we never had to worry about the flow of the day or anything related to the venue. Alex and the rest of the staff took care of everything from putting up and taking down our decorations to directing guests, keeping the day on track, and putting out desserts and favors. They really listened to our vision for the day and made it come true. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better venue, from the beautiful setting to the amazing staff.

Planning a wedding can have its stressful moments but my husband and I were so lucky to be paired with Emily. She was so kind and helped us stay organized throughout the process. She was always eager to lend an insightful suggestion or jump on a phone call when I needed her. If you are lucky enough to be paired with Emily it will make an already incredible experience with the Red Barn even more memorable.

We got married at the Red Barn in June of 2023 and could not have had a better experience. As was the case with almost every summer weekend in New England this year, it ended up raining on our wedding day. We had planned to get married in the garden but our coordinator, Emily, and the entire staff at the Red Barn were extremely accommodating and allowed us to make the last minute call to move everything inside. Not only were they extremely flexible, Emily was calm, cool, and collected and made sure I wasn't stressed out about the change of plans. She expertly moved out outdoor floral arrangements inside on the mantel of the fireplace and everything looked so beautiful. Besides her attentiveness on the day-of, she was extremely helpful in the months leading up to the wedding--meeting with us a couple of times to go over every single detail and answering any other questions promptly. We didn't hire a wedding planner but Emily was so helpful that I really didn't need one. The entire staff at the Red Barn was also incredible (special shout out to Mo who made sure my husband and I got some appetizers during the cocktail hour and packed up the extra cake so we had some to take home!). The venue is absolutely beautiful, inside and out, and our guests all had such an incredible time. We also rented out the Stage House Inn which was absolutely lovely. Tegan and Gary went above and beyond to make sure we, and our guests, had everything we needed. I cannot recommend both The Red Barn and the Stage House Inn enough!

From the moment we saw this venue, we knew it was where we were going to get married. The Red Barn is a perfect picture-esq New England wedding venue. The ceremony locations were beautiful, and the barn itself is AMAZING.
We had the pleasure of working with Colleen, as our day-of-coordinator, and we cannot stress how amazing she was. We emailed her probably weekly (if not more frequently), with questions, and she always responded promptly and was very helpful with our planning. When it came to the day of, she set-up our decorations so beautifully and we were amazed to see the venue when we arrived. She always ensured we had a drink, had food if we were hungry, and sent us home with extra desserts from the night. Any couple is SO lucky to be working with her for their wedding.
We could not think of a more perfect venue for our wedding - the remaining staff was fabulous, the food was delicious, and all of our guests were so happy.

Its been over 3 months since our wedding at the Red Barn and we still have yet to come up with the right words to say. I cannot recommend this venue enough. Not only is the venue itself extremely esthetically pleasing but the staff is remarkable. Our wedding coordinator Alex was and is an absolute godsend. No matter what we needed or when we needed it, Alex was there with an answer or a solution. Alex is everything a wedding coordinator should be and WAY MORE. One of my favorite things that Alex did was assure that our drinks were never empty. She also took our drink order before walking down the aisle and greeted us with the drinks as soon as we were done with our ceremony. A special shout out to Moe who was one of the servers who also assured we were never searching for hors d'oeuvers. Not only did she make sure that we tried some of everything, she would hold a napkin to prevent any possibility of stains getting on our clothes. She did this for everyone- what a rock star!
All in all, everyone at the Barn really knows what they are doing. Between the all inclusive package, the quality of everything from the landscaping to the food, I cannot say enough about how amazing our experience was. Wedding planning is one of the most stressful things but Alex really made it as painless as possible.

It is so hard for me to put into words how incredible it was to get married at The Red Barn at Outlook Farm!! I first visited the venue over a decade ago while volunteering at a charity auction, and I remember saying that I would love to get married there one day - well my dream came true and it completely blew past all of my expectations! My husband loved the venue right off the bat and we truly do not have one bad thing to say about our experience. We loved all of the food/drink offerings, and all of our guests were raving about the food afterwards! We have gotten so many compliments from friends and family about how amazing our venue was, and I could not agree with them more! Everyone that we worked with at the venue was absolutely fantastic - especially Emily, our INCREDIBLE incredible incredible coordinator. She was so warm, friendly, organized, communicative, kind, and just truly fun to chat with. She helped us to stay calm during the stress storm of wedding planning, answered all of my thousands of questions during the months leading up to the wedding, respected all of our desires and decisions while also giving constructive and helpful feedback, and she kept reminded us of how exciting and fun our wedding day was going to be (even when we were fully burnt out while planning). Working with her such a joy, especially on the wedding day itself! She kept us organized, was extremely flexible, and was super accommodating and lovely to our guests with differing special needs. She was also just such a warm, funny, and lovely person to have in our corner on the most important day of our lives! Thank you again to Emily and everyone at the venue for making our dream day a reality. And for anyone else reading this - if you are currently venue shopping, PLEASE consider going with the Red Barn at Outlook Farm!!

Choosing the Red Barn at Outlook Farms for our wedding venue was quite possibly the best decision we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. The venue is beautiful, very accommodating, and the staff is fantastic (looking at you Moe 😍). The Red Barn gave us much needed peace of mind during the planning process and provided an amazing wedding day for both our guests and ourselves.
That being said, our venue coordinator Alex was our favorite part of the Red Barn. I cannot say enough great things about her. She was always there if we had questions during the planning process, she had great suggestions if we needed help, and she had plenty of experience to guide us through the wedding day. She knew the things my bride and I needed before we even knew ourselves! Alex was always pleasant and always communicating with us. I really don't know if we would have made it through the planning or the actual wedding day without her.
We would 100% recommend the Red Barn to any couples out there considering this venue. We had a great wedding day and any small issues that popped up (unrelated to the venue) were smoothed over by their great staff. The Red Barn is beautiful inside and out. We could not have asked for a better place to get married and celebrate with our family, friends, and their staff!

We are SO happy we had our wedding at the Red Barn!! The entire team and especially our coordinator, Emily, were incredible. Planning a wedding is stressful and they did everything possible to make it straight forward. Throughout the entire planning process, Emily was very responsive and accommodating. She thought of every detail, far beyond what we would have thought of to ask and was so kind and fun to work with throughout the planning. Then for the actual day of the wedding, everything went so smoothly. They setup and took down all our decorations, coordinated with all our vendors so we didn't have to, and made sure the entire night ran flawlessly and we were taken care of. If you're looking to have a stunning venue in New England that is the full service package, we HIGHLY recommend the Red Barn!

The venue is beautiful. The waitstaff on the day of were wonderful and attentive.
My major complaint was with our day-of coordinator. There were 3 major issues the day of, including not making the custom cocktails we had confirmed in our previous 2 meetings, not putting out the candy jars brought and asked to be placed out with the decorations and throwing away the top layer of our wedding cake AND the other remaining desserts (even after I asked if I should pack it up that night and was told know they would do it for me to pick it up in the morning). I am well aware that mistakes happy as I used to work in event planning for many years. I simple apology or follow up after the wedding would have gone a long way but instead we were made to feel like it was our fault (despite having email evidence of these requests being made and confirmed weeks prior). They had 3 weddings that weekend and I think the coordinator was overwhelmed. However, it was still disappointing to have so many details missing that I had triple confirmed prior to the event.
Despite all of that, it was still a beautiful venue and the other staff were lovely. I would still go back in time and book my event there, I would just be caution anyone to be VERY clear with any details and confirm them 3 more times than you think necessary.

We got married at the Red Barn on 5/6/23 and worked with Emily as our coordinator- we could not be happier with the venue and staff! Emily was absolutely on top of everything and she made the process stress-free, she even knew how to bustle my dress! Emily ensured all the details were perfect, our guests commented on how smooth the wedding went. For the venue, it was absolutely gorgeous and the food was fantastic. If you are looking for a venue, the Red Barn was truly perfect, and you're lucky if you get to work with Emily!

We absolutely LOVED having our reception at the Red Barn at Outlook Farm. We are so, SO glad we chose this venue. The food was INCREDIBLE, and they were absolutely great to work with. My coordinator was Alex, and working with her was an absolute dream. She made the process so easy! She was highly communicative, and so SO helpful. I cannot say enough good things about her. It was decorated so beautifully, and organized SO incredibly well. Alex seemed to always know what I needed before I even had a chance to ask. She is SO SO SO good at what she does! Our entire bridal party was raving about how great it was to work with her, and how well taken care of everyone was all through the night. Throughout the entire planning process I was so thankful to be working with someone so on top of it. My mom and I constantly spoke about how much we loved working with Alex!! It ended up raining on our wedding day, and we had planned to have fireworks to close the night out. We were worried that the weather would impact this, but the red barn team made it happen! They were able to give us an excellent show despite all the rain (and eventually lightning)! All of my guests were absolutely amazed at this site. They truly went above and BEYOND! The night was absolutely flawless! I highly, HIGHLY recommend having a reception at this site. We'd do it all again in a heartbeat!

The Red Barn team is incredible! Alex was our coordinator and was so amazing throughout the entire planning process and the execution was flawless. She was flexible with us switching our ceremony location last minute due to weather. Alex is so organized and we knew she was good at your job but didn't know just how good! She made everything so easy and turnkey for us - we really didn't have to worry about anything on the day of. We got so many compliments on the food, venue and staff. We also used a lot of the Red Barn's preferred vendors and they were all amazing. We would highly recommend this venue!

If you are planning a wedding – look no further. GET MARRIED AT THE RED BARN AT OUTLOOK FARM. So many of our guests raved about how gorgeous the venue was and how delicious the food was. The Red Barn knows how to throw a wedding! Everything went according to plan and it was beautiful. Also their transparent pricing made picking them from the start a no-brainer.
But our day of coordinator Emily was the absolute best part about the Red Barn. She made our wedding day completely stress-free. My husband and I still talk about how great Emily was all the time. She was EVERYTHING. At our pre-wedding meeting with her she was so incredibly sweet and supportive of all the plans we had for that day. We texted her after our meeting because we were just blown away with her right from the start. She made us feel like we were the only wedding she was coordinating all year. On the day of she was constantly checking in on us making sure we were fed and happy. She kept the reception on schedule. I even danced right out of my dress (a clasp broke) and one of my bridesmaids was like wait where is Emily she will know what to do! And she did, she fixed it. She was the most amazing blessing we didn’t even realize we were getting when we booked at the Red Barn. I would recommend the Red Barn to anyone getting married but Emily made the entire wedding. She was perfect. I cannot express our appreciation for her enough. We are so thankful she was there, making our day flawless and the most enjoyable night of our lives and our guests lives.
If we could go back in time and replan our wedding knowing everything, we know now we would pick the Red Barn in a heartbeat!

Booking the Red Barn at Outlook Farm for our July 2022 wedding was hands down the easiest decision to make and most definitely the BEST decision we made. From start to finish, from the very first time we viewed the venue, until months later- our wedding was seamless, amazing, and most importantly, stress free.
The Red Barn was the first venue we looked at. We knew we wanted an outdoor ceremony, outdoor space for cocktail hour, and a beautiful, big room. The Red Barn checked all the boxes. We put down our deposit the very next day as we knew this was a venue we did not want to sleep on!
Planning was SO easy and straightforward. As soon as we booked, we got set up with the amazing Alex, who was going to be our day of coordinator. She was communicative, helpful, and patient. She responded quickly to every annoying query I had, she kept us updated with our timeline of planning, and she was understanding when oopsie- we missed the tasting we were supposed to go to. She graciously set us up at the next one with no questions or drama.
The planning process was very smooth due to Alex’s expertise. The rehearsal was stress free and straightforward. The day of our wedding was more than we could ask for. Literally everything went to plan due to Alex being so on top of everything. She was kind to the many personalities in both of our families and felt more like a friend to us by the end of night.
I cannot say enough good things about the Red Barn as a venue for a wedding. It is absolutely gorgeous, I feel like we did not need too many decorations as the venue itself is stunning. The food was delicious! During cocktail hour, it felt like there were so many servers with so much food, on top of the stunning cheese and fruit display. The kitchen was also very helpful and sensitive to the allergies in our group- one being my husband who had a nut allergy. The drinks and bartenders were fabulous- we told Alex that our group drank a lot of espresso martinis and the bartenders were ready when we started ordering them. AND they were delicious to boot. The staff was fabulous! All of the servers were professional and personable. The price for everything and the many options for food and drink were well suited to many budgets.
I could gush for many more paragraphs about how amazing this venue is. Alex and the crew have made the Red Barn into a well-oiled machine. I cannot say anything bad about our experience and I know I can attribute that to them. Our guests are still talking about our venue months later. If you want to have the most amazing wedding day at a beautiful venue with wonderful people, do yourself a favor and book the Red Barn. You will not regret it.
Thank you Alex and crew for the most memorable day and a fantastic experience!

I cannot say enough about Emily at the Red Barn. She made the entire experience so seem less and fun. She even gave me her jacket when I was cold while taking pictures. Her care for couples shows she truly loves her job. The entire experience at the red barn was amazing and we had the most perfect day. We are so lucky we were able to get married in this beautiful location with such nice and accommodating staff. 10/10

Our wedding at Red Barn was an absolute dream and I can’t imagine getting married anywhere else. The venue and staff exceeded all our expectations and to this day, our guests are still raving about the food and how beautiful the venue was.
We had a longer engagement, so I had MANY questions and changes from the time we signed the contract through the big day. But, the girls at Red Barn never made me feel like a burden and always made me feel like I was the only bride on their agenda.
They offer different packages so we were able to choose the best option for our budget. I also liked having the option of doing the ceremony inside if necessary. Our ceremony was outside at the gazebo and fortunately the weather cooperated, but it was comforting to know we could have moved it inside if it rained.
Perhaps one of the biggest perks of working with Red Barn was our coordinator, Emily Francoeur. She was so responsive and helpful every step of the way, and I don’t think I could have done this whole wedding thing without her. Planning is stressful, but after every meeting, email and phone call with Emily, it felt like a weight was taken off my shoulders. She even turned last minute seating changes into a minuscule non-issue (and by last minute, I mean less than 24 hours before the wedding). Her attention to detail is uncanny and she brought my entire vision to life. Emily did it all, from orchestrating the set-up, to pinning boutonnieres on the groomsmen, cuing music during the ceremony, corralling family members for photos, making sure my glass was never empty, and just about everything in between. My bridesmaids kept saying, “I wish I had an Emily at MY wedding…” We were so impressed with Emily that we were even chanting her name at one point during the reception. She’s an absolute rockstar and I can’t think thank her enough for everything she did!
As if the ceremony and reception weren’t enough, my husband and I’s entire wedding party stayed at Red Barn’s sister property, Stage House Inn, for the whole wedding weekend which elevated the entire experience. The White Heron Suite is stunning (think light, airy, spacious), and was the perfect bridal setting to get ready in. We also did our rehearsal dinner at the Stage House the night before and it was perfect. The entire inn is beautiful and the food was amazing. We will definitely be going back to stay there for anniversaries in the future.
If you’re thinking of getting married at Red Barn, just do it - you will not regret it!

Emily Francoeur and the entire team at the Red Barn at Outlook Farm went above and beyond to ensure we had the most perfect wedding day. Not only is the venue gorgeous, but the service and food are also incredible! All our guests continue to rave about the quality of the dinner, saying this was so much more delicious than the typical wedding meal.
Any time we needed anything during the planning process, Emily was open, action-orientated and ready to talk through solutions. On our wedding day, Emily's warmth and guidance put everyone at ease. Throughout our event, Emily and the entire staff at the Red Barn were organized, kind, attentive and really went the extra mile! There was a child with a food allergy in attendance, a big worry for us, and a staff member was attentive to them the entire night to ensure they had everything they needed.
It's this attention to detail and compassion that really sets the Red Barn apart from most wedding venues. Book your wedding here, set your worries aside and get ready for the most incredible night of your life - congratulations in advance!

The best day of my life was spent at the Red Barn at Outlook Farm on 10.21.2022.
Everything was absolutely beautiful and seamless! So many of my family and friends are still telling me that it was the best wedding they ever went to! I truly can’t thank Alex enough for being the most amazing and passionate person to have with me since day 1, and through the entire day. Not only did she have such a calm way to go about everything, but she is just an amazing person as a whole! Anything we needed, she was there! You say her name and she just appeared asking what we needed. I really can’t say enough about my incredible experience getting married, without a single glitch!

If you are dreaming of an idyllic, rustic, southern Maine wedding, the Red Barn is your all-in-one venue. Since my husband and I live in Los Angeles, we wanted to try and have as minimal stress as possible, so we wanted to find a venue that could tackle most if not everything. Not only is the venue itself stunning (seriously, less is more when it comes to decor bc the venue really does have the whole aesthetic down on lock), it also includes food, liquor, AND a coordinator! What more could you possibly ask for?! We are so incredibly grateful for our coordinator, Colleen, who took care of us since day 1. Not only was she incredibly on top of e v e r y t h i n g, but her communication was always stellar. She even arranged our florals the day of the wedding :') Everyone we worked with – from Colleen to the staff to even meeting the owner the next morning when we came by to pick up our decor – were beyond kind, generous, and just overall there to help make your day the best damn celebration ever. Would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking to host a southern Maine wedding!

From the moment that we walked onto the Outlook property and met our coordinator Emily Francoeur, we knew that we wanted to get married at The Red Barn! The staff was so friendly and accommodating and there were several of our guests who came up to us saying how kind and hard-working everyone was.
We will also never forget how cozy and perfect our stay was at The Stage House Inn! The rehearsal dinner was a huge success and the staff treated our families as if we were their own. A truly incredible weekend that our families will have forever, all thanks to Emily and The Red Barn/Stage House Inn team! Thank you all!

If you're looking for a venue that has it all, this is the one! I worked with Alex as my wedding coordinator, she is the best of the best. She responded to me immediately, and always had an answer to my many questions. I felt so at ease working with her because I trusted that she would take care of anything that came up. It felt so great as a bride to be confident in my coordinator and venue. I had NO STRESS on my wedding day and it was an absolutely perfect day. It was everything I imagined it to be when I was searching for my venue.
Pros of this venue:
- BEAUTIFUL aethetic
-indoor and outdoor ceremony options (this was important to me because I wanted an outdoor ceremony, but realistically as a New England bride you need a back up option)
-easy to get to
-plenty of parking
-up to 200 guests
-provides the food and beverage
-package includes everything (you'll know what you're paying for up front)
-beautiful maple tree to get married in front of
-large indoor space
-bridal suite
-because the space is so beautiful naturally, there's no need for decorations (besides some florals)
-Stage House Inn affiliated with this venue right down the road (INCREDIBLE BRIDAL SUITE FOR GETTING READY!!!)
-photos come out STUNNING because of all the light and natural wood
-not stuffy
-food was AMAZING
cons:
-none

We got married at the Red Barn in Sept 2022 and it was amazing! The venue was absolutely gorgeous on its own, from the ceremony outside in the garden (with a gorg rain backup in the barn) to the beautiful woodwork inside and the view of the golf course from the deck, it was perfection. The food was amazing (everyone said so!) and we had the best open bar. But what made it most special was our wedding coordinator, Emily. Through the whole process she was always there to answer a question and make sure everything went smoothly. She is the kindest, friendliest, and most organized person you will ever meet. She became a friend through all of it and a person I was lucky to have at my wedding! This venue is the complete package and makes it an easy, beautiful, stress free decision. (And make sure you look into staying at the Stage House Inn down the street, comes with free transportation for guests and is a beautiful and reasonably priced place to stay!)

When we went to tour the property, we knew immediately this was the place we wanted to get married. There were multiple ceremony options to choose from that fit whatever theme we wanted. We had an August wedding, so we wanted outside by the tree, but had the option of being inside if the weather ended up not being great. Alex and the team at Red Barn were extremely understanding, accommodating to our requests and flexible with anything we needed. She was always responsive, and let us know if there were going to be times where she may not be available right away so we knew when to expect a response. At the time, my husband and I were closing on our house (that we were building), so as you can imagine, we were under a lot of stress and making so many decisions between the house and the wedding that we needed the wedding to go smoothly since house building never does. Alex had made our process so incredibly easy and stress free. She went above and beyond, and I am so thankful for her & the team. The food was great and highly regarded by everyone, and the day went by without a hitch! I highly recommend having your wedding or ceremony at Red Barn at Outlook Farm! The place is beautiful and the staff is wonderful.

Our experience at The Red Barn could not have been any better! Our coordinator, Emily, was so friendly and helpful. She was always thinking 10 steps ahead and anticipating exactly what we would need at each stage of planning and on our actual day. If we needed anything or even if our guests needed anything, she was right there to get whatever we needed. We love Emily so much and are so grateful for her! Other staff members like bartenders, servers, and even kitchen staff were all so friendly and professional as well. They did an amazing job accommodating our guests who had dietary restrictions and never made anyone feel like a burden. We love you Red Barn and thank you all again!!!
