Yes. Wellington Barn is licensed for both indoor and outdoor civil ceremonies. Inside, the Old Barn can accommodate up to 120 guests, or the Yard Barn up to 200, but if you choose the Yard Barn you would have to wait for the room to be turned around for your wedding breakfast. Using the Old Barn means your reception room is ready with no need to wait.

Outside you can choose between the patio, the gazebo and the flower meadow. Numbers outside are not limited. For flower meadow ceremonies you will need to hire wooden benches as chairs are too unstable. We can arrange that.
