I can't recommend the Barker Tavern highly enough! They were an amazing value and did everything they could to take the stress out of wedding planning! From their upfront wedding packages that were priced out in full (no need to factor in all of the extra taxes and fees and gratuities that add up quickly) to their level of flexibility that allows the bride to customize her wedding, I absolutely loved having my wedding at the Barker! Becky was wonderful, and so responsive I knew I could get in touch with her quickly no matter what time of day over any little matter that came up. When my centerpieces fell through at the last minute, she was offering up her decorations and even emailing me ideas that she saw other brides do that would match the theme of my wedding. When you become a Barker Bride they provide you with all of the information you need to keep you on track - it was like having a wedding planner for no additional cost! The binder that they give you to break down your tasks by month was amazingly helpful in the planning process. The wedding day went seamlessly, and all of my guests keep raving on about what an amazing place and what amazing food they had, and many of them have been back since! We loved the Barker because all the food was cooked to order, so everyone's meal was restaurant quality and not the typical pre-cooked catering food. What's even nicer was the one year anniversary dinner they gave us to help celebrate our first year of marriage by coming back to the place where it all happened. I couldn't have found a better location, or nicer staff to work with, they really made my day perfect and I honestly can't thank them enough!

From the minute we stepped foot inside the Barker Tavern on a whim to view the premises, to the minute we said good night after the reception, the Barker Tavern treated us with respect and professionalism. Becky, the site wedding planner, was very responsive and kind as I called and changed my mind on the napkins a few times. The dinner food was absolutely delicious as was the ice cream sundae bar. We received so many compliments on the food (the scallops were to die for!). The bridal attendants were very attentive and brought us our food and even packaged the left over food for us. They also coordinated the DJ, photographer and catering perfectly. The night ran very smoothly and I didn't have to worry about a thing. They also packed up my personal belongings (including decor) for my convenience at the end of the night. The Barker Tavern has earned a great reputation and it is well deserved. You won't regret having the Barker Tavern host your wedding reception - it was one of the best decisions we made!

The Barkers is the place to have your wedding! They were the most amazing professional staff I have ever worked with. My husband and I were planning a wedding from long distance and they were there every step of the way. The Barkers went above and beyond our expectations and and made our wedding a dream come true. I cant stop talking about the wedding, the people, the staff, the food, the wait staff, the beautiful room. I keep looking on facebook eager to see all photos! We defintley give the Barker Tavern two thumbs up and if I had to reccomend a venue to a couple, it would be The Barker Tavern. Barkers gets into every detail and takes care of everything. My husband I were calm the whole planning time thanks to Barker Tavern. They truely made our wedding special and more than I ever imagined it would be. We cant wait to go back and visit everyone at the Barker Tavern, from the first planning day on they became "family" to us. We cant thank them enough!

The Barker Tavern in Scituate MA is the ultimate wedding venue. The room and location are beyond beautiful, overlooking serene Scituate Harbor. Becky and the entire staff go out of their way to make your dreams come true on your special day. There was not a detail missed and with Becky at my side, I was worry free the entire night. On top of all this, the food is OUT OF THIS WORLD. If you are looking to wow your guests with an intimate evening, in a beautiful space, with amazing food, The Barker Tavern is your destination. Words can't express how wonderful our expereince was the The Barker Tavern.

EXCELLENT place to have a wedding reception or event. Our wedding went off without a hitch, and it was all due to the people working at the Barker. They provided us with a backdrop for our make-shift photo booth, they allowed me to bring in the wedding cake I made, the dessert buffet was well worth the extra money.
Definitely recommend having your reception here!

We had the most wonderful experience with the Barker...Becky was an absolute pleasure to work with coordinating and planning the event, and the staff the day of the event was fabulous. Felt like you had family watching out for you to make sure everything was "just right". All the guests loved their meals, and the appetizers. Soup to nuts, we could not have been happier!

We had a great wedding day thanks to the Barker Tavern. Their staff is friendly, professional and outgoing - and were wonderful with all of our friends and family during our wedding reception. Becky Jordan is the wedding coordinator, and she helped make the planning process straight-forward and painless for us! The Barker had the perfect sized reception hall for our wedding reception of about 120 guests, the setting was beautiful and we selected a great package which included our hors d'ouvres, 3 menu choices, dessert/coffee and a 3-tiered cake from Konditor Meister. Our guests STILL rave about the amazing food they had at our wedding. Could not have asked for a better venue!!

I had been in the bridal party at a wedding at the barker tavern and knew I had to be back there. As soon as I walked in, I knew it was where I wanted to have our reception! Becky and everyone involved were nothing but friendly, nice and professional. The fact that they have been doing this for years shows. I didn't have to worry about one little thing! They made sure my husband and I had our dinner, had cake, drinks, and even made us our own sundae from the make your own sundae bar! Not only did they take care of my husband and I but also took amazing care of our parents as well. We have been married for 2 months now, and all people can talk about still is how amazing the food was at our wedding! We can't wait to go back to celebrate more occasions!

This was our reception venue, the ceremony was held at home.
We already knew the food was great as well as the ambiance as we eat there on a regular basis. Becky also provided an easy approach to the reception, which we had in the New England room, the restraunt itself. Everyone was so nice and helpful with a bare minimal problem and even that was resolved promptly - so none of the guests ever knew. THey were flexible and helpful and all our guests raved about the food and the atmosphere. Our wedding was 44 people, the New England room was perfect size for this as nobody felt cramped and we also didn't appear to be in an auditorium!
Highly reccomend this venue - no hidden anything, so it was easy to maintain our budget too.

Becky and all the staff at the Barker are AMAZING. The function room itself is absolutely stunning-- lots of light and high rafters, big stone fireplace-- and the entire team made sure everything went smoothly. The value for cost, as we were married off season, was phenomenal. So much food and all of it delicious. I'd recommend these guys to anyone.

I have always wanted to get married there since I was a little girl so I planned our wedding date around their availabilty of openings. We had an evening wedding and the place was beautiful with candles on the table and lindt chocolates placed around the candles. It was such a wonderful night and the staff there was making sure that everything was running smoothly and seemless throughout the night. They were also able to accomodate us early when we arrived due to the weather. We were supposed to do some pictures outside but the weather did not cooperate with us for our day so they had a back up plan. So many great memories and we will be able to go back and celebrate our one year anniversary next year there. The price is based on 140 guests and open bar for an hour.
