About

On WeddingWire since 2014

The Barn at Montague Retreat Center is a wedding venue based in Montague, Massachusetts.

Welcome! We are so glad you are considering the Montague Retreat Center for hosting your wedding!

The Montague Retreat Center is a hidden gem nestled in the rolling hills of the upper Pioneer Valley. From single-day events to full wedding weekend events, there are countless ways to put a personal stamp on your wedding! We offer both indoor and outdoor spaces across our expansive land.

Our lush Ceremony Circle, nestled up to the apple orchard, sits beneath one of the oldest maple groves in Massachusetts, with a stunning view across the valley. Our Stone Patio features a permanent 40’ x 50’ reception tent and a 75’ long retaining wall/bench. Our elegant, rustic Great Hall Barn has chestnut beams, bamboo floors, lots of glass, and geothermal cooling.

Beginning in 2022, our couples will work with our exclusive in-house caterer, Wheelhouse. Some of our other amenities include on-site accommodations, a wedding lounge, a yurt, an ADA-compliant lift, and accessible restrooms. Two streams run through the property, and the Robert Frost Trail is within walking distance. Coming attractions include the addition of 5 beautiful Cabin Retreats on site, as well as options for floral design. Get in touch today to talk about how our team can personalize your experience in our extraordinary place. We'd love to provide you with more information and book you a tour.

Perfect Wedding at MRC

We had our wedding at the MRC in June 2022. It is a stunning venue with professional staff who are passionate about what they do! Jackie and Kellsey were wonderful coordinators to work with. Their communication and planning before the event made us feel like everything was taken care of, and they ran the wedding flawlessly so that we didn't have to worry about any details day-of. Dale takes great care of the facility and the grounds; his passion is evident. Wheelhouse catering provided the best wedding meal we've ever had. We stayed on site with our wedding party in the gorgeous new cabins, which was such a fun and unique experience. Overall we could not recommend MRC more!!

Easily the Best Choice we Made

I cannot explain how great of a choice MRC was for our wedding. The venue is gorgeous, the amenities were wonderful, but the real selling point were the people. Jackie was a dream to work with and when something went pretty majorly wrong she immediately did everything she could to make it write and fixed the issue beyond our satisfaction. Also, if you're like me and don't like venues saying "you have to use OUR caterer" don't worry. Wheelhouse is the best caterer I have ever interacted with. Kind, professional, and easily at the top of the game. I generally don't give perfect reviews, but our wedding was perfect and MRC was a strong reason why.

Could not imagine getting married anywhere else!

We had a fusion Indian/Haitian wedding at MRC and we honestly could not imagine getting married anywhere else! Although our initial plans were to have an outdoor ceremony in the beautiful ceremony circle - mother nature had other plans (rain!) and with excellent guidance and flexibility from Kellsey and Jackie we moved to our Plan B. Which turned out to be what we expected and so much more! The barn is beautiful and was an equally incredible location to get married in.

Jackie and Kellsey constantly went above and beyond for all of our celebrations (and we had many!) and were genuinely kind and calming to be around all weekend. The other bonus was the venue's collaboration with Wheelhouse catering. They took our very specific ask of creating a fusion Indian and Haitian menu and delivered more than anything we could ever expect!
