The Red Barn at Hampshire College

The Red Barn at Hampshire College is a wedding venue located in Amherst, Massachusetts, nestled amongst the Notch and Holyoke Mountain Ranges. Situated just ten minutes from downtown Amherst, this rustic property offers both indoor and outdoor event spaces for wedding celebrations. During warmer months, couples can exchange vows in front of the property's grand oak tree, surrounded by woodland beauty and the region's stunning mountainous terrain. The barn itself serves as both a ceremony and reception site, accommodating up to 130 guests. The space features original wooden beams, polished flooring, and large windows that stream natural light throughout the room. Additional decking can be added in summer months for outdoor cocktail receptions and al fresco dining. The venue's culinary team is passionate about sustainability and supporting local farmers, using the freshest seasonal produce in made-to-order dishes. They offer both buffet and plated dining options, with a bar serving champagne, signature cocktails, house beer, and wine. The dedicated coordination team provides event planning services, manages setup and teardown, and assists with rental items including tables, chairs, linens, audio equipment, and lighting. Get-ready rooms are available onsite, and the venue offers wifi, parking facilities, and wheelchair access.
