The venue also includes a bridal suite, full-service bar, wheelchair-accessible facilities, sound system, projector, Wi-Fi, ample parking, and on-site campsites for guests looking to extend the celebration.
For destination-style weddings, Bates Barn offers additional accommodations, including a log house rental, allowing couples and their closest family and friends to enjoy a full wedding weekend experience. The combination of natural beauty, thoughtful amenities, and personalized service has helped the venue host hundreds of weddings over the years.
Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a large celebration, Bates Barn delivers the perfect blend of rustic elegance, modern comfort, and authentic New Brunswick charm.
