Tucked away in the charming coastal town of Bristol, Rhode Island, Mount Hope Farm offers two unforgettable wedding venues: the waterfront and scenic Cove Cabin, and the rustic elegance of The Barn. Whether you're drawn to the waterfront views or New England charm, a Mount Hope Farm wedding is full of character, nature, and relaxed beauty.

Cove Cabin is a hidden gem. Surrounded by towering trees and perched right on the edge of the Narragansett Bay, it offers a private, woodsy feel with sweeping coastal views. It's the kind of place that feels like a retreat—secluded, serene, and perfect for couples who want to soak in every moment with their favorite people.
You’ll find an open lawn perfect for an outdoor ceremony, space for a tented reception, and a cozy, rustic cabin for getting ready or just relaxing. The cabin itself has a nostalgic, camp-like charm that adds personality and warmth to your day.
Whether you want barefoot beach photos, a golden hour ceremony, a cozy bonfire to end the night, or a big elegant tented party, Cove Cabin lets you lean into whatever kind of celebration feels most like you.

The entire Mount Hope Farm property spans 127 acres of farmland, gardens, forest, and coastline—all steeped in New England history. Weddings here have a unique blend of historic charm and modern elegance, whether you're getting married by the water or inside the barn. There are amazing opportunities for your wedding photography at either venue.
Guests can explore the grounds, enjoy overnight stays at the on-site inn, and experience the natural beauty of Rhode Island in a way that’s truly immersive. It's no wonder Mount Hope Farm weddings are a favorite for couples who want a relaxed yet meaningful setting.
The Barn at Mount Hope Farm offers a more traditional indoor space with rustic wood beams, wide-plank floors, and a classic countryside feel. Perfect for a small or mid-sized wedding - or for couples who love the look of a cozy barn celebration.
It can be used on its own or in combination with outdoor spaces for a flexible wedding day layout. The Inn directly across the way has beautiful garden areas and makes a lovely background to your wedding photos.
