Five Bridge Inn is a private-estate wedding venue in Rehoboth, MA, set on 80 acres within a wooded preserve in southeastern New England, about 20 minutes from Providence and 40 from Boston. A family-run bed and breakfast and event property, it offers two reception settings, a climate-controlled modern-farmhouse barn for up to 125 guests and a large open-air tent for up to 300, along with several outdoor ceremony sites and on-site lodging for up to 14. Couples get a full-day rental and pick their own vendors, which makes it easy to build a wedding weekend that feels entirely their own.
What makes Five Bridge Inn a standout Southern New England wedding venue?
It gives couples a private country escape that is still an easy drive from two cities. The 80 secluded acres sit inside a roughly 900-acre preserve with miles of trails through pastures and woodlands, plus a pool, a fire pit, and resident alpacas, and the property is pet-friendly. There are two reception venues to choose from: the Innkeeper’s Barn, a modern-farmhouse space with 40-foot ceilings, a wraparound mezzanine, a grand staircase, and a wrought-iron balcony, climate-controlled for up to 125 guests year-round, or a large open-air tent that seats up to 300, with sides that go on for weather or open to the front lawn. Ceremonies have room to spread out too, with a gazebo, a gold arbor, and a birch arbor on the main lawn, plus a covered pavilion with three crystal chandeliers built to handle sun or rain. On-site lodging sets the property apart: a bed and breakfast that sleeps up to 14 with a homemade breakfast the next morning, separate get-ready suites for both parties, and a full-day rental window so nobody is rushed. Coordinators couples name in their reviews keep the day on track, and the venue lets you pick your own vendors, so a wedding here is never cookie-cutter. A barn, a tent, and open grounds reward lighting and sound built for the space, which is where Black Diamond comes in.
How does Black Diamond produce events at Five Bridge Inn?
A modern-farmhouse barn with 40-foot ceilings and a large open-air tent reward lighting and sound designed for the space, all on LED fixtures. We bring custom uplighting to warm the barn’s height or the tent’s peaks, and we run sound that carries a lawn or covered-pavilion ceremony into cocktail hour and a barn or tent reception. Our DJ and MC talent keeps the floor moving, photo booths add a keepsake, live musicians set the tone for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and our photography and videography team captures the arbors, the chandelier pavilion, the barn balcony, and the 80-acre grounds, with aerial coverage of the preserve where permitted. Because the venue lets couples pick their own vendors, bringing in our full production team is simple. For company retreats and gatherings on the private grounds, we bring full corporate event production.
