The Barn At Montague Retreat Center

5.0

Montague, MA
  • Up to 190 guests
  • Limited services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $5,000

Welcome! We are so glad you are considering the Montague Retreat Center for hosting your wedding! Our team wishes to help personalize your experience in our extraordinary place. Our lush Ceremony Circle, nestled up to the apple orchard, sits beneath one of the oldest maple groves in Massachusetts, with a stunning view across the valley. Our Stone Patio features a permanent 40’ x 50’ reception tent and a 75’ long retaining wall/bench. Our elegant, rustic Great Hall barn has chestnut beams, bamboo floors, lots of glass and geothermal cooling. Visit our website to learn more about our rich history! Montague couples will work with our exclusive catering team, Wheelhouse for food & bar. Some of our other amenities include 10 on-site accommodations, yurt, an ADA-compliant lift, and accessible restrooms. Two streams run through the property and the Robert Frost Trail is within walking distance.

When we started planning our July wedding, we knew that we wanted a beautiful, eco-conscious, outdoor venue in the rolling Massachusetts hills where we could host guests for the whole weekend and people could camp and sit by a fire at night. We weren’t sure we’d find someplace that checked all those boxes; then we found the Montague Retreat Center. It was everything we were looking for and more. We loved that we had the whole weekend to see our guests and that they got to know the place, too. The Center already has a tent set up for the reception, and the venue was so well set up with its own furniture and catering-ready kitchen, that other vendors kept telling us how delighted they were to be going back there. We had around 100 guests, about 25 of which camped at the Center. The camp site is in a pine forest on the property, and our camping guests were all very happy with their stay and with the facilities. A lot happens in a wedding weekend, but the staff is prepared for anything and everything. The caretaker, John, was particularly notable in how quickly and quietly he took care of the facilities while we were there. We’d turn around and he’d have taken care of the trash or put another few logs on the fire. It was easy and wonderful. It was wonderful to have things like lights already set up, and a room of wedding decorations others have left to reuse or leave instead of stress about bringing everything and cleaning it all up. We were glad they compost everything and the facility even runs on geo-thermal heating/cooling. We took the Retreat Center’s recommendations for almost all of our vendors, and they were all wonderful (especially Wheelhouse Catering for our reception and Jackie M coordinating all of our vendors and the day of the wedding). We got flowers from Red Fire Farm, and sent our guests to check out the Montague Book Mill (and took photos there ourselves!). We are so glad we found the Montague Retreat Center!

Beautiful, rustic, warm, and welcoming. Red Gate Farm offers a perfect setting for celebrations of love and commitment. Our timber framed dining hall was built with an eye for tradition.

My daughter recently had her wedding at Harrington Farm and everything was just wonderful! The staff was accommodating , professional and very easy to work with . The ceremony was planned for outside, but it rained and the secondary sight inside ended up being intimate and lovely. I have nothing but praise for this venue!

Hyland Orchard is a magical spot to say 'I Do'! The experience begins with a wagon ride whisking your guests to the perfect spot atop the Orchard of over a thousand apple trees, with views of three neighboring towns. After the Ceremony, is the Pavilion Reception. The Pavilion has sliding walls- which means your 'outdoor' wedding is rainproof! The Pavilion has lights strung throughout to create an unmatched rustic ambiance. Our one-of-a-kind property shines with features including a raw edge custom wood bar, large stone fire pit, sprawling lawn, a barnyard crew (lovable mini horses, goats and a llama), a greenhouse with adjacent floral gardens and acres upon acres for amazing photo opportunities!

Need an amazing outdoor wedding venue...look no further. Hyland is honestly my favorite venue (I'm biased because we had our wedding there) but I've been to a lot of weddings and Hyland is my favorite. It is just awesome.

You will love Carmen the moment you meet her and fall in love with this fabulous little farm. From the unique on site accommodations (tree house and barn loft) to the lovely ceremony site to the fire pit, you cannot go wrong with the venue for your small wedding or event. You can bring in any vendors you like including food trucks. You can moo along with the cows and gaze into the stars. Just one of my favorite places to be as a vendor.

The venue at Pachaug Cottages is an absolute dream! They hosted us for our ceremony and reception of about 75 people on June 25 2022. With the ceremony space right on the lake, we were even able to arrive and depart by boat! The whole day went flawlessly and we definitely recommend having your wedding here! Some of our family even booked the venue for their own wedding this past summer and it was so fun to revisit the location and see all the new additions. The brand new pavilion is STUNNING. 10/10 would recommend 3
