You and your guests will enjoy the charm of what was once a 1700’s dairy farm, without sacrificing the modern amenities that make for top-notch events. With original wood beams and stone walls adorned by wrought iron chandeliers, the Barn on Bridge offers the perfect canvas for your rustic wedding dream. “DIY” to your heart’s content or let us handle everything. One of the most unique features at Barn on Bridge is the two-story carriage house hospitality suite! This is a spacious dressing area for you and your wedding party that will feel just like home! Exchange your vows or mingle for cocktail hour in the lower garden, overlooking a charming creek and wooded field. The upper garden features a permanent tent designed to protect your guests from the blazing sun or harsh rain—the Barn on Bridge eliminates the need for a “Plan B” and costly rentals.

Barn on Bridge provided an exceptional experience for our wedding day! Amanda Frangoulis, our event manager, went above and beyond to ensure every detail aligned with our vision, including arranging a private tasting when my husband couldn’t attend the quarterly one. I provided a detailed menu that reflected my vision for a fall rustic wedding, and the culinary team executed it with incredible precision. For hors d’oeuvres, we selected salmon deviled eggs, southwest crab cake bites, lobster mac & cheese bites, Caprese skewers, and Mediterranean lamb burger sliders with tzatziki sauce. Our first course was an unforgettable butternut squash sweet potato soup with pumpkin seeds poured tableside over butternut squash cubes—a show-stopping experience! For entrees, we had spicy honey-glazed panko-crusted salmon, apple cider-glazed chicken, and butternut squash ravioli with brown sage butter sauce and toasted pine nuts, paired with kale & apple salad, garlic Parmesan green beans, and sweet potato mash (If you ever use these dishes, you’re going to have to credit Barn on Bridge and me!). Guests raved about the delicious and perfectly executed dishes, and I was thrilled to hear the culinary team plans to adopt some of my suggestions into future menus! Thalia, our day-of coordinator, ensured everything ran seamlessly and went the extra mile by preparing leftovers for us—a thoughtful touch that allowed us to savor the incredible food later. I also want to emphasize that successful weddings are a partnership. Often, dissatisfaction stems from a lack of clear communication, but this team is exceptional at walking you through every step. They genuinely care about your vision and execute it with precision. I felt supported, valued, and cared for throughout the process. If you communicate your ideas, Barn on Bridge will deliver above and beyond. I wholeheartedly recommend them for an unforgettable wedding experience!
