Tucked away among lush greenery and rolling hills sits Fern Hill Barn, a beautiful rustic venue by Wedgewood Weddings. Although the quaint town of Spencer sits only 60 miles outside of Boston, you'll feel completely transported to a serene countryside escape on the grounds of this stunning estate. The sprawling property features beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces for ceremonies and receptions, surrounded by greenery, a pond, and an idyllic gazebo. With options for both intimate gatherings and larger parties, couples have plenty of options to customize their wedding day.
The charming original two-story home features a spacious get-ready suite, providing a luxurious space for pre-wedding preparations. It's the ideal spot for couples and VIPs to relax and prepare for the big day.
Thanks to the surrounding trees and vines, the outdoor ceremony site feels secluded and private. A wooden trellis leads you to the ceremony gazebo, set against hills and mature trees. Whether you choose to decorate the gazebo or leave it in its natural beauty, it effortlessly blends with the landscape. In addition to the ceremony site, another gazebo on the property offers an idyllic photo backdrop, with a vine-covered walkway leading up to it that provides a beautifully romantic setting for wedding photos.
After the ceremony, choose from two reception options. Couples can utilize the sprawling pavilion for an outdoor event and surround themselves with natural beauty. The pavilion features a striking white canopy lined with twinkling string lights, creating a wonderful atmosphere as the sun sets. The open-air pavilion overlooks the lush green fields and gardens, allowing couples to dine and dance the night away under the glow of the bistro lights. Surrounded by nature and lit by the stars and string lights overhead, the outdoor pavilion provides a picturesque backdrop for a romantic barn reception.
Upon entering the indoor reception space, you'll be captivated by the stunning oversized fieldstone fireplace, complemented by pine wood floors, wood beams, and elegant chandeliers. A built-in oak bar adds a touch of sophistication and a space for your guests to mix and mingle. This space can accommodate up to 150 guests and is a cozy backdrop ideal for winter weddings. From an intimate day spa experience to beautiful indoor and outdoor event spaces, Fern Hill Barn provides a conveniently all-in-one rustic-chic wedding venue.

We originally fell in love with the intimate setting Fern Hill Barn brings - seeing their gorgeous gardens and landscaping, views of rolling hills, and the indoor/outdoor setting under a beautiful and large sailcloth tent romantically lined with string lights. A year of planning later and after experiencing a seamless wedding day, it is the team that leaves a mark on my husband and me. They were so incredibly kind, talented, and attentive to us and our guests, beyond what I could have imagined. They are all tenured professionals who know their stuff and want to make your day perfect. Cherry on top - the food and drinks were also amazing!
It is an incredible venue with exceptional value for the area; the indoor space is beautiful and doesn't need much décor since it's already so pretty! You can't beat the outdoor views and scenery. The team is great to work with, really responsive, and helpful for any special requests or questions. We are both vegetarian, and many of our guests are vegetarian as well. Fern Hill Barn had great meal options and was also great about accommodating food allergies. Our guests were so impressed with the space and loved everything about the venue. We are so glad we found it!
When you visit for the first time, you can see how beautiful it is without any decorations/flowers/etc. I cannot express how breathtaking it is when it's fully decorated and ready to go with all the details. I was truly blown away. Not only that, but every single person that we came into contact with throughout the planning process was incredibly professional, kind, and helpful. I cannot say enough about this venue and the overall experience, and I would recommend it to anyone!
