Congratulations on Your Engagement!

Thank you for considering The Barker Tavern for your wedding reception. For over forty one years our family has hosted the finest weddings South of Boston.

When your guests arrive at The Barker, they'll find a spectacular setting. Two grand buildings perched atop the hill overlooking Scituate Harbor, with beautifully landscaped gardens and red brick walkways lined with delightful rose bushes. The Williams Room is an elegant and modern ballroom, accommodating up to 200 guests, featuring an eight foot high stone fireplace, cathedral ceiling and permanent hardwood dance floor. Our historic New England Room is located in a fully restored 17th century building and is ideal for smaller receptions with charming low ceilings, exposed beams and luxurious furnishings. Whether you are planning an intimate gathering of fifty or a large party of 200, we have the setting to make your perfect day a reality

The Barker Tavern is family owned and operated, exceptional personal service is our specialty. Our staff of professionals will do everything they can to create a unique and memorable experience for you and all of your guests.

Our packages are designed to make it simple for you. Just multiply the number of guests by the package price, then add the tax to determine the cost of your reception. It's that easy. Of course, there are extras you can purchase such as an open bar and more, but our packages include all the necessities and no hidden charges or surprises.

When you hold your reception at the Barker Tavern, you will be treated like a member of our family; that's our secret and we called it the "Barker Touch". Your satisfaction and happiness is our number one priority and the "Barker Touch" makes it happen. Please feel free to call on us at any time to answer your questions or to schedule a tour.
