We booked Monarch Farms for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with our choice. Emily was incredibly responsive to our questions, even when we reached out late at night, which made planning so much easier. What really stood out was the variety of spaces they offered—we had options for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in different areas of the property, which gave our guests plenty of places to relax and enjoy themselves in all the different barns. The coordinator Megan was organized and helpful throughout the entire process, handling details we didn't even think to ask about. The value we got for what we paid was excellent, and everything felt polished without breaking the bank. We'd definitely recommend Monarch Farms to any couple looking for a venue!

When we first moved to Brattleboro back in 2023, the Retreat Farm was one of the first places we visited. Not only is the mission of nonprofit phenomenal, the organization hosts events that bring community together and folks closer to nature. When deciding on our wedding venue a year later, the Retreat Farm was one of our top choices. At the time, the North Barn was being renovated and had not yet been finished, but even then we saw the vision. I also think it is important to mention, as a queer couple, we received nothing but respect throughout the entire process. From the beginning, everyone we worked with from signing the contracts to planning the actual wedding, we received enthusiasm for our less than traditional wedding (Gothic Victorian/Halloween themed). Retreat Farm from the beginning was exceptional! I cannot reiterate enough how kind everyone was to work with. Working with Samantha as the venue coordinator was a breeze. She was accommodating, fun, and well organized. She answered every question, no matter how little. Planning a wedding is no easy task, but every step of the way, Samantha and the Retreat Farm staff were there. Franklin and the staff day of were also all so accommodating and there to help address any last minute hiccup! Everyone was also so fun and inviting to all of our guests dressed up in their costumes. We had an outdoor ceremony on Outlook Meadow and I know the work that would've gone into hauling the arbor, chairs, and sound system up that hill, but they did what they could to make our day PERFECT! We had our reception in the North Barn and even with spending time in the space before, I could not have imagined how perfect it was with all of our decor! The wood beams, tables, and lights balanced perfectly with our elegant Victorian and silly Halloween decor! No matter what style wedding you're looking for, the Retreat Farm will help you make it happen in the most beautiful spaces! If I could give more than five stars, I would!

We had our wedding at Scott Farm Orchard and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Suzanne was responsive to emails and made planning so easy that we actually got to enjoy the process instead of stressing about it. The property itself is stunning with so many different backdrops and settings for photos and the ceremony, which gave us tons of options to make the day feel uniquely ours. On the day of, the team was seamless—Noa kept the bar running smoothly, Betsy made sure all our guests felt welcomed and knew where to go, and everyone worked together like they'd done this a hundred times before. We were also thrilled to have access to the Landmark Trust historic buildings nearby for our family to stay in; those beautiful old buildings were the perfect touch and so convenient to the venue. I am a professional photographer and have seen/worked with a lot of venues. Scott Farm exceeded my and my guests expectations. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding

They responded quickly to every question and went out of their way to help us feel supported throughout the planning process.
