DMF was the classic, rustic, dreamy wedding venue of my dreams. Their gorgeous white farmhouse was the perfect scene for my family to get ready in the day of our big day. Their front porch was a perfect way to watch the rain showers on the morning of our wedding while sipping mimosas. Staff at DMF were so friendly, and treated us like family. Their own personal bar service had all of the fixings we needed to allow our guests to let loose and party the night away!

Pawcatuck, CT
  • Up to 30 guests
  • Raw space

Stonington Farmhouse is a brand new post and beam farmhouse with its own private event barn, made for the whole wedding weekend rather than just one night. The barn seats up to 30 for a rehearsal dinner, welcome party, or Sunday send off brunch, and the house sleeps eight so your wedding party can stay together under one roof. You bring your own caterer and set your own timeline, so the evening unfolds exactly the way you imagine it. Upstairs in the barn there is a lounge with a bar and a golf simulator, and outside there is a firepit for winding down the night. High end finishes meet cozy farmhouse warmth throughout. You are just minutes from Saltwater Farm Vineyard, historic downtown Mystic, and the Stonington shore, which makes it a beautiful and easy home base for everyone traveling in to celebrate with you.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Has an intimate feel for a small guest list
  • Has a glamorous vibe
  • Feels like a getaway

Venue considerations

  • Limited cleanup and setup services
  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Not for you if you don't want a rustic vibe
Booked the house and barn for our wedding weekend and I'm so glad we kept it through Sunday. The ceremony was elsewhere but we used the barn for an after party / brunch the morning after and it ended up being everyone's favorite part of the trip. Coffee on the porch, the whole wedding party hanging out one last time, zero pressure and no checkout clock chasing us out by noon. The farmhouse is beautiful and clean and the barn is a genuinely special space, not some generic event hall. Plenty of room for our group. Communication was quick and clear from start to finish. If you're getting married anywhere near Stonington and you want your people all in one place for the weekend, this is it. Five stars, would recommend to any couple.
