A Barn Jewel Nestled near the Vermont Mountains
201 to 250 guests
Holds ceremonies and receptions
Situated in Westfield, VT, Windy River Farm is a wedding barn venue with a chic countryside ambiance. With 234 acres of fields and mountains, you can celebrate with loved ones in a charming locale entrenched in nature. The barn itself is 6,000 square feet, allowing plenty of room for twirling and dining with your family and friends and ensuring a memorable day.
The history of Windy River Farm goes back over a century. The post-beam barn dates from the farm's early history and was lovingly restored by the owners, Marion and William Powell. This duo has watched many historic buildings that give Vermont its character fall into ruin, so refurbishing the barn was as much for them as it was for the state's heritage.
Meadows and the gentle flow of the Missisquoi River surround Windy River Farm. The site also affords you and your loved ones spectacular views of Jay Peak in the distance. You can appreciate these sights from the spacious deck that is attached to the barn. Then, upon entering the structure, you are greeted by lofty ceilings and the wood interiors of the barn itself. To take this historic and rustic building up a notch, the barn possesses massive chandeliers that would otherwise be found in the halls of a French chateau. Overall, the spaces are sophisticated yet understated and give you a blank canvas for your special day. For the comfort and convenience of guests, there are bathrooms and rooms for the couple. The caterer you choose from the farm's approved list also has a prep kitchen for getting your event's meal ready. In the case of poor weather, the barn is well-equipped for your event to continue, even possessing a backup generator should the power go out. In addition, staff members will be present during your magical day to ensure that the use of the facilities goes smoothly.

I can’t say enough good things about Windy River Farm! From the moment we arrived for initial tour, we knew that it was our venue! The owners were fabulous and great to work with. They have such have such a passion for this work and it really shows throughout the entire planning process. The barn itself is a stunning masterpiece, beautifully decorated with rustic/vintage charm that creates a unique atmosphere. The thoughtful decor pieces already in place perfectly complement the natural beauty of the surroundings, saving us time and effort while adding character to our wedding. The ceremony locations are both beautiful and the cocktail barn is such a great addition. It was great to have events separate as it helped with the flow and guests were excited to finally see the reception barn. Every aspect of our experience at Windy River Farm was truly unforgettable. The combination of the breathtaking scenery, the warmth of the owners, and the magical ambiance of the barn made our wedding day feel like a fairy tale. I highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a special place to celebrate their love!

Windy River Farm is the one venue everyone should consider when booking their Vermont wedding. Located very close to Jay Peak, the views, ease of transportation, and the incredible attention to detail by Marion and William are second to none.
The interior barn space, cocktail barn, and ceremony fields are incredible. The replica chandeliers inside the barn, eclectic artwork and pieces, and amazing chairs and tables bring the space to a new level of grandeur. We are so thankful to have had our wedding here, and our wedding size of 140 was able to fit comfortably and were all taken by the incredible beauty of the venue and the meticulous detail put into the space. If we were to have 100 weddings, they would all be here. Thank you so much for making our day that much more special!

This is a wonderful location with amazing views. The owners made this 100+ year old barn an incredibly beautiful place to host a wedding. The ceremony field has a great view of the Green Mountains and wonderful arbor. The cocktail barn is a great secondary location for drinks and appetizers while the wedding party takes photos. The reception barn has wonderful steel chandeliers, a large open space for tables and dancing and many comfortable areas that made our wedding feel easy and fun. The owners have put in a lot of effort to make this property a unique place to get married.

Our wedding day at Windy River Farm was truly a dream come true! The property was everything we could have imagined and more! I was lucky enough to get pampered for our special day in the couples suite upstairs inside the barn, it was the perfect location for myself and my girls to get ready in. The groomsman room was such a fabulous addition to the barn and was so fitting for the groom and his gents to get ready.
Our wedding took place in the upper field overlooking the beautiful mountains. We hosted an hour and half cocktail reception in the cocktail barn featuring our favorite local band Sibling Reverie, the space was relaxing and intimate, perfect for our guests to sip and graze.
The main barn where dinner and our reception was held is beyond stunning. The chandeliers are absolutely breathtaking, and allow for the most simple décor. Our guests were stunned by both our venue and the food provided by For The Love Of Food Catering. Cassy made our dreams come true with our fair food theme, all the way from fried chicken to mini fried dough bites and maple milk shakes.
The owners of Windy River Farm, Marion and Will made us feel so special, just like family. They were more than accommodating, always available whenever we needed anything. They are constantly investing in the barn – from the time we toured to our special day there were so many new improvements, including the groomsman’s room and the cocktail seating in the main barn. We cannot recommend Windy River Farm enough for your next special event.
