- EElla Bastien16/08/2024Rockport Barn: Perfect Venue for Our Wedding!Rockport Barn: Perfect Venue for Our Wedding!We couldn’t have had a better venue for our wedding. We came across the Rockport Barn in June 2021 and booked it at that time for our August 2023 wedding. Over the couple years, Erich and Norm were helpful, responsive and great to work with. With each impromptu visit to the venue, there were new additions. The venue is clean and well kept. What we loved about The Rockport Barn is the convenience of it - we had the venue Friday - Sunday. The rehearsal, ceremony, reception were all in one spot.We couldn’t have had a better venue for our wedding.

- NNilesh Ladd16/08/2024Rockport Barn: A Memorable Wedding VenueRockport Barn: A Memorable Wedding VenueWe chose Rockport Barn for our wedding in April 2022 and could not have chosen a more memorable place. Erich and Normand were easy and fun to work and communicate with, they welcomed us to visit them throughout our planning process and helped us through all of our concerns and requests. On the day of the wedding they both did everything they could to kindly accommodate with the setup and prepared us a beautiful meal in the evening.We chose Rockport Barn for our wedding in April 2022 and could not have chosen a more memorable place.

- EEmma Jackson16/08/2024Rockport Barn: Perfect Wedding VenueRockport Barn: Perfect Wedding VenueMy best friend got married at the Rockport Barn earlier this week. I have nothing but positive things to say about this location and the owners. The barn itself is fun, cozy and clean. You could host a wedding here with zero of your own decor and it would still look phenomenal. There is multiple outdoor/indoors spaces for a ceremony/reception to take place. Multiple fire pits, gorgeous gardens, a pond, indoor and outdoor seating areas.My best friend got married at the Rockport Barn earlier this week.

- VViara Mileva16/08/2024Rockport Barn: Winter Wedding MagicRockport Barn: Winter Wedding MagicI went to Rockport barn to photograph a winter wedding, and I fell in love. Both the owners and the place are simply magic. Firstly, arriving at the venue you see how picturesque the grounds are.There is an extended barn. The barn has an upstairs and a downstairs. The downstairs is super cosy in winter for intimate dinner parties of elopement-style weddings! I sort of got completely swept away while taking photographs of the interior details - because they were so beautiful.I went to Rockport barn to photograph a winter wedding, and I fell in love.
