REVIEWS
Our New Year's Eve celebration at Barker House was everything I had hoped and more.The team went above and beyond to make it special, memorable, and fun for all! From the first meeting to the midnight toast, every little detail was perfection. The room was beautifully decorated, and all the guests raved about the food. The passed appetizers were excellent, and the meals were all perfectly presented and delicious. We are so glad we chose Barker House, and we can't wait to celebrate more special occasions there. Thank you for treating us like family.

We arranged for the rehearsal dinner to be held at this historic site built in 1634, and we are glad we did. The venue was perfect, the staff efficient and professional, and the food great.

Adaptability! Located in Scituate Harbor and our event was in September so hurricanes were a possible concern. Not to worry, the Barker House team has you covered with a generator just in case. Whatever you want or need, they get it done. Want to have guests join on a 100+ person Conga line? Done. Great value, especially for the location.

Barker House is so lovely! The staff made planning effortless, helped us find our vendors and supported us throughout the planning process. On the day they were friendly and helpful, and they created a calm atmosphere! I highly recommend this venue!!

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would! Great food, great service, exceptional staff, and perfect New England charm. I didn't have to worry about a thing: the team took care of everything. Every guest commented on how great the food was, and what a great place the Barker House is overall.
