Couples looking for a unique and scenic setting for their wedding may have it in The Barn at Lord Howe Valley in Ticonderoga.

The new destination is located off Route 9N on the hill behind Five Nations Golf in a secluded setting surrounded by trees and mountains.

Barn coordinator Sarah Latchford said the location was chosen for its natural beauty.

“It’s a gorgeous view of the valley,” she said. “My sister got married here and it was spectacular.”

They have two outside locations, a stone patio and a grassy area, available to hold the ceremony at, or couples can chose any spot on the grounds.

“The outdoor wedding industry has become popular,” Latchford said. “You can have a formal or an informal feel. A lot of couples are looking for a unique venue to get married in.”

The Barn is located on a large parcel, so there’s plenty of room for activities.

“When you rent it, you get it for the whole day, all 77 acres,” Latchford said. “We also offer lawn games, for something less formal.

She said a former horse barn on the property has been converted to bridal and groom suites for the preparation.

“They can get ready there,” she said. “If they want to follow the tradition of not seeing each other until the wedding, there’s another place at The Barn for the groom.”

For props, old doors, barrels, censers, and other items are available. The barn includes tables and chairs, a dance floor, and a balcony and photo booth.

“You bring in your own caterer,” Latchford said. “We have a designated area for that, and there’s a bar they can use.”

She said they have some September and October 2017 bookings already.

“We’re looking for next year bookings, some spring and summer, but mostly September and October,” she said. “People tend to plan their weddings a year ahead now.

“We’d like to see local couples get married here and also draw from outside the area,” she said. “We’re setting up appointments now for tours for couples.”

The Barn at Lord Howe Valley is a seasonal venue, open May through October. They also have heating for The Barn, if it’s a cool fall day.
