“Inside a barn is a whole universe, with its own time zone and climate and ecosystem, a shadowy world of swirling dust illuminated in tiger stripes by light shining through the cracks between the boards.”
-Carolyn Jourdan, Heart in the Right Place

Discounts     We are dedicated to reparations as a form of justice and equity. We acknowledge that no amount of reparations can undo the centuries of injustice and oppression experienced by black, indigenous, and  people of color at the hands of white people. We hope, however, that providing a discount to BIPOC (Black & Indigenous People of Color) couples supports healing, justice and unity in our community.
We also recognize that LGBTQI+ couples have been excluded from the institution of marriage until very recently. We want to celebrate the ability of those couples to marry by offering them a discount as well.
We want to honor and respect those who've served our community with selfless sacrifice; we offer a discount to active duty military members, veterans, and members of police and fire departments. 
If you do not fall into one of those categories and you can not afford to rent the space, we would love to have a conversation with you to see what might be possible.

WHY CHOOSE THE SALTONSTALL FARM?
This old cow barn is almost 200 years old. All of the old posts and beams are in incredible shape; they just don't build them like this anymore! Kyle and Sophie Saltonstall are the third generation in this family to steward this property, and they really take this job seriously. The barn renovation was completed in 2020 and surpasses any modern commercial building codes.

​In the barn, there is a full PA sound system, beautiful Edison bulb chandeliers, a rock-maple live-edge bar top, two bathrooms, massive barn doors on each end, and a grand entrance staircase. The barn holds up to 200 people and is big enough that you probably don't have to rent a tent for your events, a major benefit and money saver! In the event of rain, you can use the barn as a ceremony and reception space.

The Saltonstall Farm only accepts up to ten weddings per year. This means that the venue is offered for a free or reduced price to non-profit organizations in the Seacoast community. To find out more about the use of this space by local non-profits, please visit the Robinwood Center website. 

Kyle and Sophie Saltonstall live on the property and have a baby girl on the way. The farm and barn are sacred to them; they want to share the barn with people who will love it like they do. Furthermore, Kyle and Sophie try to be kind and respectful of the surrounding properties; they ask that all parties present at the farm to do so as well.
