The Mad River Barn is nestled in the Green Mountains of Waitsfield, Vermont, on 17 beautiful acres of gardens, woodlands and streams.

Hosting only one event each week allows us to offer a weekend-long destination experience that you and your guests will enjoy and remember forever.

On the hill behind the Main Barn, our state-of-the-art post and beam pavilion provides couples with a rustic, elegant space for dinner and dancing on Saturday evenings. This space is conveniently located next to the ceremony site and encompasses a stunning pergola.

The Main Barn building is home to eight of eighteen inn rooms, as well as both our dining room and pub. This is the hub of activity for the weekend, hosting everything from your welcome gathering to your rehearsal dinner and breakfast each morning.

Adjacent to the Main Barn is the Farmhouse, housing two bunk-style rooms. Just across the parking lot sits the Longhouse and Annex, comprising an additional eight inn rooms and offering a bit of privacy from the hustle and bustle of the main events.

Hosting your wedding at the Mad River Barn gives you exclusive access to the property for the duration of your weekend. Planning is made easy by working directly with our on-site wedding coordinator.

All events hosted at the Barn are contracted to our on-site catering, with extensive menus available for everything from a bridal lunch to the reception dinner. An exception can be made for desserts.

Our established wedding program has enabled us to connect with dozens of vendors in the area that are among the best in the business. Once a deposit is paid, you will have access to all of our preferred vendor information, organizational spreadsheets and more to make the planning process and event execution as smooth as possible.

Our wedding season runs from the beginning of May through the end of October each year.
