Wedding Photography at The Round Barn Farm
*Updated for 2025
Are you looking for a down to earth wedding venue that is laid back and surrounded by natural beauty? How about a beautiful bed and breakfast and barn with old fashioned American charm? Located in the heart of Vermont, The Round Barn Farm in Waitsfield could be the perfect venue for you.
Nestled in the heart of Vermont’s Green Mountains, Waitsfield is a charming village that embodies the state’s pastoral beauty and outdoor spirit. In winter, the town comes alive with skiers and snowboarders drawn to nearby slopes, while summer brings locals and visitors to the vibrant farmers’ market and the refreshing swimming holes along the Mad River.
This historic community, with its covered bridges and classic New England architecture, provides a picturesque backdrop for special occasions. Just outside of town, The Round Barn Farm stands as an iconic Vermont venue, offering an idyllic setting where friends and family gather to create lasting memories.
Get Hitched in a Historic Place
Built in 1910 as a dairy barn by Clem Joslyn, the Round Barn Farm spans 245 acres of rolling fields and meadows. After serving as a working dairy barn until 1969, the property found new life when Jack and Doreen Simko purchased it in 1986. The Simkos transformed the farmhouse into a seven-room Vermont inn and spent 12 years carefully restoring the Round Barn, which earned its place on the National Registry of Historic Places in 1988.
Once one of Vermont’s 25 historic round barns—structures popularized by Shaker beliefs and praised for their farming efficiency—it now stands as one of only five remaining in the state. Today, the Round Barn hosts everything from weddings and concerts to conferences and art exhibits, continuing its legacy as a gathering place for the community.
Our Thoughts
It may sound overly simple. But just having everything in one place is amazing.
There’s no need to travel. This means that with an 8 hour photography package, you get 8 hours worth of photography. So much time can be lost in going from the hotel to the venue and then from the venue to the reception. With everything happening at one place, you will get more time on your wedding day. That means more time with guests. More time to make stunning photos. Also, more time = less stress.
The grounds on the farm offer scenic mountains, a sweet little pond, and even some slices of farm life. Pretty much every reason you wanted to get married in Vermont in the first place. It’s all easy and close by which is a big plus.
Round Barn Farm’s staff are true pros. We work at a lot of venues and can tell you with certainty that working with a professional staff can make all the difference on your wedding day.
We had an amazing time working with them and now have beautiful photos to remember our special day.
