About

The Red Barn at Mitchell College is a rustic wedding venue located in New London, Connecticut. Once a working dairy farm established in 1889, this property was renovated by Mitchell College in 2006. They rebuilt the farm's distinctive red barn in the same spot, and opened its doors to welcome couples celebrating their milestone occasions. All profits from events held at The Red Barn go towards supporting students at Mitchell College.

Facilities and Capacity

This charming barn offers over 4,000 square feet of versatile event space, perfect for all kinds of events from weddings to corporate retreats. It features exposed beams, reclaimed-wood walls, and polished cement floors for an industrial-chic effect. A state-of-the-art air-conditioning and heating system keeps the space comfortable in all weather, while adjustable lighting allows you to create your preferred ambiance. The barn can host ceremonies, receptions, rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, and wedding showers. If desired, you may also opt to exchange your vows on the venue's private beach by the Thames River. Additional facilities include a private green room, an area for catering setup, three restrooms, and on-site parking.

The Red Barn @ Mitchell was the perfect touch to our rustic, magical wedding day!! Everything was amazing from the table linens, lights, dance floor and the cleanliness of the restrooms!
