Locke Falls Farm combines modern elegance with rustic charm to create the perfect backdrop for your next wedding. The farm is surrounded by pastoral landscapes, mountain views, and thriving perennial gardens as it sits on the edge of the White Mountains.

The history of Locke Falls Farm begins in the early 1900s, when stagecoach and rail travel were both common. Couples two-stepping through the hand-built dance pavilion could be heard in our antique barn setting. Visitors can now ascend to the homestead using the stones that originally served as the barn's foundation. The traditional sleeping porch, the bridal bedroom with soaking tub, and the stone patio for the rehearsal dinner or cocktails are just a few of the attractions of the wonderfully renovated farmhouse. Locke Falls has added a lot of distinctive features while maintaining the integrity of the farm. The ideal location to exchange vows is defined by our natural wooden arbors, which provide sitting along with rustic tables and benches. A century-old maple slab rests atop whiskey barrels in the patio bar. Even high-top tables made of wire spools exist. The 2,400 square foot event pavilion was recently constructed, and it has large doors leading to a brand-new patio. It features expansive perennial gardens, hand-built stone walls, and breathtaking views of the surrounding pastoral meadows. Locke Falls Farm has so much to love and learn.
