Zenbarn

If you’re considering the Zenbarn for your wedding, you have to choose it! From the venue to the staff to the vibe and experience, everything was exactly how we had envisioned it. As a couple who is deep in the music scene, hosting our wedding at the Zenbarn was a treat. We didn’t want the cut and dry, cliche wedding venue that many people opt for. Instead, we wanted something that would represent who we are and what we love – and that is perfectly captured in the Zenbarn. What Ari and his family are building there is something special. From the beautiful backyard/ceremony area with mountain views and plenty of greenery, to the intimate reception venue inside, you won’t regret it. It’s the perfect setting with a ceremony location outback, airbnb upstairs for getting ready, cocktail hour outside and reception steps away in the barn. Our venue coordinator, Katie was super helpful and stayed in constant contact with us throughout the planning. The venue was spectacular with quite possibly the best sound system for live music in all of New England. Seriously.. If you plan on having a live band, this is your spot. The food cooked up by Chef Jimmy blew our minds. The steak was perfectly cooked (something that isn’t easy when cooking for 115), the salmon was delicious, and we even had guests raving about the chicken! Jimmy is a top notch chef who delivers nothing short of outstanding food. The stage/music and sound system was unmatched. We had our friends’ band play for the wedding and they blew the crowd away. Zenbarn has one of the best sound engineers in the game who balances the sound so you can be in the front row while still having a conversation with the person next to you with no hearing damage. We will be back for many more live shows in the future. Last but certainly not least… the staff. UNBELIEVABLE staff. The bartenders were the nicest I’ve met and had just as much fun dancing as our guests did. They made sure every cocktail was mixed up perfectly, every drink order delivered fast so there was never a line and they really made the evening something fun to remember. Zenbarn’s GM, Travis is one of a kind. He made sure to save some hors d'oeuvres from cocktail hour and brought them over to our head table so we could enjoy them after spending cocktail hour chatting with everyone, and he made sure we didn’t miss our late night snacks by dancing his way over to us while we were front row at the band, serving us up fried chicken bites on the dance floor! I seriously can’t say enough good things about this staff… they made the night. If you’re considering Zenbarn for your wedding and want an intimate, picture-perfect, laid-back but beautiful wedding – look no further. Zenbarn delivers the ultimate vibes and experience.

We had our wedding at Zenbarn and it couldn’t have been a more perfect day! Wonderful rustic venue, a gorgeous outdoor ceremony space and the food was great! The apartments upstairs were such a great bonus! Would 100% recommend!!!

They knocked our reception out of the park even while dealing with flooding.

We love the Zen Barn!!!! We got married here in July 2023 and I cannot say enough good things. Our guests had an amazing time from start to finish. The food was delicious and the drinks were amazing. The lodging space above the venue was perfect for the weekend and was a huge bonus. Everyone we worked with - Ari, Katie, Travis, the bartenders - was so accommodating, flexible, and the perfect balance of fun and professional. The communication leading up to the wedding was streamlined and easy. We ended up having to use the beautiful indoor ceremony space due to lots of rain and their team made the switch go flawlessly and our guests loved the space. The Zen Barn is a magical place and allowed us to create a wedding at a reasonable price that felt uniquely our own and was surely a time to remember! We can't wait to come back for shows and to celebrate anniversaries to come.
