Decide what kind of wedding you want and how you want it to look.

When picking the right barn for your wedding the first thing you should think about is your own style and vision. Barns can be rustic and charming or modern and stylish among other things.

Think about what is most important to you. Do you want a place with beautiful old fashioned furniture and exposed wood beams that make it feel like a cabin? Or do you want something more polished with modern touches like high tech sound systems and lighting that sets the mood?

Also think about how many people you want to come. A small cozy barn with a lot of character might be great for a small gathering but a big barn with a lot of space might be better for a big party.

Consider where it is and how easy it is to get to.

Next think about where it is and how easy it will be for you and your guests to get there. There is a lot of beautiful countryside in New Hampshire but some barns may be hard to find or get to because they are not on the main roads.

Think about how far you and your guests are willing to travel. Is the barn close enough to a city or town for people who are coming from out of state to stay?

You should also plan how you'll get there. Will your guests need rides? Also if you're getting married in the winter think about how the weather might make the roads bad and how easy it will be for people to get to the wedding.

Check out the amenities and services that are available

You should look into what services and amenities are included in your barn rental because they can vary a lot. Some barns have all inclusive wedding packages that include catering a bar and event planning. This makes planning a wedding a little less stressful.

Some people might only rent out the space and make you do everything else yourself. This is a great choice if you want to make every part of your wedding unique because you can pick your own vendors caterers and entertainment. But it could also mean that you have to do more work.

You should ask about important things like parking bathrooms and how to get in and out for people with disabilities. You should also ask what kind of furniture and decorations are in the barn. Do you have chairs and tables? Do the caterers have a kitchen on the premises?

Take into account the weather and the time of year

The weather in New Hampshire can change a lot and the time of year you get married can make a big difference in where you choose to have your barn wedding. In the spring and summer when the flowers are in full bloom and the sun is shining New Hampshire's barns can be very beautiful for weddings. But these are also the busiest times which could mean higher prices and more demand.

The leaves in the fall can make a beautiful background. The warm glow of the autumn leaves makes a barn wedding in the fall even more beautiful. But the weather can change quickly so it's important to ask the venue what to do if it rains.

There is something special about winter weddings especially when the barns are covered in snow. But when it snows a lot and gets cold it can be harder to travel and stay warm.

Be open minded and make sure you have enough money.

Last but not least set a budget. It's important to know how much you can spend before you start looking for barn venues because they can cost a lot of different amounts.

Keep in mind that barns with more features and services might cost more but they might also help you save money in other ways. At first places that don't have as much may seem cheaper but they can end up costing more when you hire outside vendors.

Find out what parts of the venue you can't change and what parts you can be flexible about. You might be okay with a bare bones space if it means you can have your dream caterer or flowers. Or maybe it's worth paying a little more for a place that has everything because it makes things easier and less stressful.

If you want to go to popular places you should be open to change. If you move your wedding to a less busy day like a Friday or Sunday you might be able to get a better deal.

To be honest planning a wedding is a lot of work. If you choose the right barn venue in New Hampshire that fits your needs vision and budget the rest of the process will go much more smoothly. Remember that your wedding is a celebration of your love so choose a place that makes you happy. Have fun with the planning!
