    Rustic Barn with beautiful gardens

    The Webb Barn was the perfect venue for us because we were looking for a place to have the wedding where we could choose our own caterers and bar. Very beautiful and rustic with lovely grounds and gardens. Katie, who is the contact person, was great, and anytime I had a question or concern answered me right away. This was a destination wedding for us as we all live in Florida, so we had actually booked it from the pictures. Katie made an appointment when I was in Connecticut so I could see it about 11 months prior. The bride ad groom did not see it until a few days before but they really loved it. ( I am the mother of the groom and did all of the planning) I can't say enough wonderful things about the place. They will even open the museum that is associated with the Webb Barn for an additional 100.00, which I thought was a nice touch.

    Webb Barn at Webb Deane Stevens Museum's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words. It was wonderful working with you and I wish the happy couple much happiness in the future.

    Extremely helpful staff

    The Webb Barn is a beautiful venue, but most importantly, they are truly great in working with you to organize everything. Their preferred vendors were all great and Katie was immensely helpful when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID. She met with us several times and was even texting with me on the day of the wedding to address a last minute issue. Everything was truly perfect!

    Webb Barn at Webb Deane Stevens Museum's reply:

    Thank you so much Marisa, I appreciate your kind words. It was a pleasure to work with you as well. The time during Covid was such a challenge. I'm glad we were to find you a new date so that your family was able to attend.

    Perfect Rustic Venue with Historical Twist

    We had the best time! If you are bride who wants a blank canvas the barn is perfect and if you are a bride who wants to keep it basic with the beautiful dark wood and pre-strung twinkly lights you can't lose. The setting is beautiful and the people who run the museum are fantastic. Katie was wonderful and very responsive. When I walked into the decorated barn at my wedding my heart lit up. It was such an incredible place to get married

    Absolutely loved our wedding at the Webb barn. Katie was great to work with especially when I heard rain was suppose to be in the forecast. She made me feel 10 times better about it after talking to her.

    We couldn't have picked a more beautiful venue for our October wedding. The barn's event coordinator Katie was extremely helpful with answering any questions we had leading up to the big day (and I had A LOT of questions) and was extremely patient and professional. The Webb Barn is definitely one of the more affordable rustic venues in the area. Our guests haven't stopped telling us how beautiful our wedding was and we couldn't agree more!

    We honestly could not have picked a better venue for our wedding. It was a beautiful day in September, the historical gardens and beautiful colonial architecture ended in the result of our amazing wedding photos that captured our whole day. The staff at the Webb Barn helped with the set up and flow of the whole day and were extremely helpful in the months leading up to the wedding day. I definitely suggest the Webb Barn to anyone in the area looking for a beautiful rustic venue!

    The Webb Barn was amazing for our son's wedding this past weekend. Thank you Katie for all of your efforts in making everything absolutely perfect!! The ceremony was beautiful outside in the most magnificent setting, and the reception flowed both inside and outside of the Webb Barn. Our guests had the very best time!! The venue is just so special. Thank you for a truly special day we will always remember. This is a magical place!!!

    The Webb-Deane-Stevens Barn and Museum in Wethersfield is a truly wonderful and special place to have your wedding ceremony and reception. Katie Sullivan who manages the barn is terrific---responsive, experienced, reassuring, and wonderful at her job, She gives you a feeling of toal confidence and comfort and invests so much energy in making your day perfect. The barn is a beautiful and warm rustic setting for your wedding with room for 135 inside the beautifully lit barn and has a door that leads to a beautiful slate patio and then a wonderful grassy setting scattered with huge apple trees and picnic tables. It is casual and elegant, rustic and classy. The ceremony which takes place behind a beautiful oak tree where white seats are set up in a semi-circular pattern that creates a wonderful setting and aisle for the wedding part to leisurely walk from the quaint museum to down the aisle . It is so special. The pricing is incredibly reasonable especially compared to many of the barn wedding venues in Connecticut.

    I had my September wedding at the Webb Barn and it was magical!!!! The venue is perfect for brides who want to completely customize their wedding and bring their DIY projects and ideas to life! Katie (the coordinator at the barn) was always responsive to my needs, questions and requests, she was nothing but a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process. Jay, the coordinator who assisted us on the day of the wedding was just as responsive and reliable as Katie! I could not recommend this venue more! Just keep in mind, it requires a lot of work from the bride, but in my opinion, it was all totally worth and (and FUN for me!).

    This venue is stunning and was exactly what I wanted. It had the historical aspect that I love so much and the gardens are gorgeous. Be prepared that this is truly a do it yourself venue, the barn was a blank slate and I was able to transform it into exactly what I had in mind. It was a lot of work and planning, but 100% worth it. Katie is very nice and answered all of my questions. She was also a huge help on my wedding day, even helping my sister devise a plan to prevent me from getting wet. Yes, it rained briefly on my wedding day and we had to do the ceremony inside, but everything was still absolutely perfect. My guests all raved about how beautiful the venue was and how much fun they had!

    Webb Barn is absolutely perfect. Katie the coordinator was very helpful in giving suggests about decor and vendors. She would responds to emails within 24 hours. Jen was the coordinator the day of my wedding and she was just as wonderful. She helped pack up decor and just keep the day on track. I received so many compliments on the barn. I have no regrets what so ever. Beautiful place and wonderful staff!!

    Webb Barn was everything we wanted and more. It was perfect for a fall wedding, rustic and an absolutely gorgeous venue. We got married under the big tree in front with the garden and historic buildings in the background and the leaves were so colorful and beautiful. What we really liked was that we got to provide our own catering and bartending services. Both my husband and I are very picky eaters, and I'm a picky vegan making things even more difficult! We were able to bring in Big Green Truck Pizza out of New Haven CT and could really make the wedding very personal and out of the ordinary thanks to the flexibility of Webb Barn. Katie, the event coordinator was very helpful and responsive with all of my questions as well. I would love to have another event here one day!

    The Webb Barn was the absolutely perfect place for our wedding. We chose it for it's charm, which meant little need to over-decorate and lots of flexibility. For us it was really important to have our own caterers and this worked out perfectly. It has everything you need to be able to put on a reception for 135 people (we had 130) and everyone absolutely found it to be amazing. If I had one complaint it would be that 4 hours is just not enough. Katie was super responsive and really wonderful on the day of the wedding. If your looking for a place that is not your typical banquet hall you won't be disappointed here and your guests will be enchanted.

    We got married at Webb barn on 5/19/18. What can I say about this place except that it is a rustic wedding dream! The barn is gorgeous and the fact that I could pick my own caterer was perfect for me. There are also wonderful gardens and a patio for your cocktail hour. Katie and the rest of the staff were wonderful, friendly and helpful.
    PROS:
    - garden and barn are great rustic setting
    - lots of parking
    - easy to work with
    - full kitchen
    - tables and chairs provided
    - amazing spaces for photos including outside historical homes, the barn and gardens

    CONS:
    - you have to coordinate vendors (including linens, food and drinks)
    - have to stop at 10 pm

    When I first went to check out the Webb Barn in Old Wethersfield as a potential wedding venue, it was love at first sight! The barn provided the perfect rustic setting for my vintage spring wedding. With full use of the museum grounds, we planned a beautiful outdoor ceremony under a huge locust tree surrounded by historic homes, garden, and barn. The barn itself was gorgeous and spacious enough for our 95 or so guests, though I can see it being pretty tight for a party of over 120. Katie Sullivan, the wedding coordinator was quick to respond to all of my emails and allowed me several visits to the barn to help visualize our reception decor and table arrangements. There was some initial miscommunication regarding insurance requirements (i.e. liquor liability insurance), but that was sorted out with the caterer and with us before the wedding.

    If you are looking for a unique down to earth and beautiful place to get married this is a great spot. We got married outside in the afternoon and then had the reception in the barn. Everyone was completely enchanted with the look of the event and it took very little decorating on our part. I only wish we could have stayed longer then 5 hours!

    The event coordinator, Katie Sullivan, is terrific. The barn is rustic but has the benefit of a good size catering kitchen and newly installed wall unit air conditioners. Beautiful terrace and adjacent gardens. Much more memorable than a conventional wedding space.

    The Barn was the perfect location for our wedding, and we had a blast. Everyone enjoyed the grounds, the gardens, and the unique nature of the wedding. We loved everything about it from the moment we walked inside. While it provided a lot more flexibility than other barns in the area in terms of choosing your own caterer, florist, etc., there are restrictions about timing, and decor, but we felt they were easy to work around. Ultimately, you're getting married in a beautiful and historic place, and with that comes some responsibility, so that it's still there in 200 more years. Katie was easy to work with, however, she doesn't work every day, so I could see where some people might be frustrated by that, but again we didn't see a problem. I would reccomend the Webb Barn again to someone in a heartbeat!
