Rustic Barn vs. Hoophouse
Choosing the Right Space for Your Small Wedding
When planning a wedding on the North Shore, your venue sets the tone for the entire celebration. At Agate Acres, we offer multiple community spaces for your big day: our historic red barn and our bloom-filled hoophouse. Each one is steeped in beauty, nature, and the heart of the land.
The best part is—you don’t have to choose between the barn and the hoophouse. Many couples use both spaces throughout their day, flowing naturally from a flower-filled ceremony in the hoop house to dinner and dancing in the barn. With the open land, fresh air, and flexible layout, your celebration can move with the light and rhythm of the day, giving you the best of both worlds.
🌾 The Rustic Barn
For cozy gatherings and timeless charm
Our red dairy barn, built in the 1940s, offers a warm and welcoming space full of character. It’s weather-ready, seasonally flexible, and made for intimate gatherings that feel grounded and full of heart.
🌸 The Hoophouse
For open-air romance and wildflower magic
The Elmon House is no ordinary greenhouse—it’s a lush, living space surrounded by seasonal blooms and buzzing pollinators. The sides roll up, letting in fresh breezes and birdsong, while the canopy of florals provides an unforgettable, natural backdrop.
The hoophouse offers a truly magical setting for your wedding reception and dinner. Surrounded by rows of vibrant blooms and bathed in soft, natural light, it creates an intimate, open-air atmosphere that feels both grounded and whimsical. As the sides roll up, guests can enjoy the fresh breeze, views of the fields, and the scent of flowers drifting through the space. Whether you're serving a family-style meal or a casual buffet, the hoophouse transforms into a warm, inviting dining space that feels deeply connected to the land—perfect for a celebration that’s as beautiful as it is heartfelt.
