Which one is right for you?  When making the decision of selecting a wedding venue – do the right thing and visit the location!  Often websites can make a historical venue look a bit more refurbished than it really is and some websites are in need of a make over. Take a road trip, spend a few days and enjoy the royal views!

Here are a few castles that are available for weddings as of today {you never know when someone will change their mind}. Additional castles in New England available for events will be listed on our new website www.storiedlocations.com

{Vermont} Castle Hill Resort and Spa, Wilson Castle

{New Hampshire} Castle in the Clouds, Searles Castle at Windham, Sunridge Castle

With that said, lets get to the barns!  There are very rustic { I mean you might need a bucket or two if Mother Nature decides to grace you with a bit of rain}barns, charming and obviously well kept barns and highly renovated barns {think luxury wedding oasis in the middle of nowhere}.  Your first decision should be to define your style. Your favorite venues will follow.

I will list several barns throughout New England available for weddings, but you should also check out our new website www.storiedlocations.com.  We will have a comprehensive listing of barns available for weddings in New England and New York  very soon! And visit our blog again. We will continually feature barn weddings in the Northeast.  One last thing to remember – some of the websites for the following locations are not sophisticated and many are outdated – remember to see these places in person and let the beauty tell the story, not the web pages.

The East End of  Long Island, Rhode Island, Vermont and yes, New Hampshire all have vineyards hoping you will book your event under their roof  or near their vines. Long Island wines are gaining popularity and of course having lived there, I have sampled many. Knowing the quality of wine of the vineyards you are considering is very important. Most wineries will only allow you to serve their wines for your reception.  But take heed – some of these locations will let you customize bottle labels {think table numbers / names or favors for your guests}.

Here are a few of the vineyards we know of that host weddings in New England:

Haight-Brown Vineyard, Hopkins Vineyard, Rosedale Farms and Vineyard, Alfalfa Farm Winery, Hardwick Vineyard and Winery, Les Trois Emme Winery, Nashoba Valley Winery, Zorvino, Snow Farm Vineyard, Grand View Winery, Honora Winery and Vineyard

Long Island Vineyards:

Bedell Cellars, Martha Clara Vineyards, Osprey Dominion Vineyards, The Old Fields Vineyards, Pellegrini Vineyards,, Shinne Estate Vineyards, Vineyard 48, Pindar Vineyards, Clovis Point, Macari Vineyards and Wolffer Estate Vineyards

Cheers!
