A Popular Events Venue Barn
In the Scenic Sunday River Valley of Bethel, Maine
Originally built in 1888 as a hay barn and fully renovated in 2014 is now Western Maine’s popular and rustic wedding reception venue barn.
Conveniently located in Bethel, Maine and close to all of Sunday River Valley area attractions and amenities, with ample guest lodging walking distance from the barn.
It is simple, yet sophisticated, elegant and affordable. The barn has been transitioned into a rich and exceptionally authentic feel that brings an aura of romance and history that can make for a truly memorable occasion.
This venue offers a variety of different wedding ceremony locations to make any wedding day extra special and memorable. These include the Sunday River Artisan Covered Bridge, Bethel Historic District Downtown Gazebo, traditional local Church ceremony, or the on-site barn white pine forest. A high top tension tent can be rented on site to mitigate any weather concerns and used later for the rehearsal, lawn games, and/or post wedding brunch events. There is ample wedding day on‐site parking with walking trails to area inns, hotels, motels, B&Bs, and restaurants. Take advantage of the professional landscaped flower gardens and arch arbor for those priceless wedding album pictures.
