Help Rebuild Byron Barn After Massive Flood

Save Byron Barn: Triage Kickstarter

A Place of Warmth, Now in Need

For years, Byron Barn has been a beacon of love, creativity, and community in Plainsboro, New Jersey. The barn has never been just a venue. It’s been a home—a gathering place to celebrate, a safe haven for artistic expression. It’s a place that has nurtured countless individuals, a space where people from all walks of life, all skill sets, and all backgrounds come together to create, learn, and grow. From weddings to book launches, from quiet refuge to loud, joyful nights, from handcrafter's markets to line dancing, this space has brought people together. And in between the public events, were the "private" invitations where folks could come and celebrate holiday's and suppers when they would be otherwise alone. A place to heal and grow.

At the heart of it all is Corinne Clark, who has welcomed everyone through those barn doors with kindness and generosity. But now, Byron Barn needs us.

Why We Need Your Help

Frozen pipes burst, causing massive flooding, forcing it to close. The damage is serious—floors ruined, walls and ceilings soaked on all floors, essential electrical panels wrecked. To bring Byron Barn back, we need immediate support to start phase one. Phase two will incorporate more fund raising to reach the larger goals.

With your generosity, we can:

✅ Get the demo work done quickly and avoid mold.

✅ Replace damaged structures, floors, and essential utilities to make the space safe and functional.

✅ Ensure that this beloved gathering place continues to provide warmth, creativity, and connection.

What Byron Barn Means to People

"Byron Barn was the start of a lifelong friendship. From the moment I booked the space for a group photography event, Coco was there to offer anything we needed. That photoshoot led to one of the best friendships of my life. Since that day, we've had regular lunch dates and catch-ups. I was even honored to celebrate my very first Christmas at Byron Barn, surrounded by friends and family—eating, laughing, talking, and creating memories that will forever be cherished."

Hope

"We fell in love with the barn when we were searching for a wedding venue in 2019. By the end of Cori’s tour (complete with family history and homemade drinks), we knew we couldn't get married anywhere else. When everything shut down during Covid, Cori worked with us to host our “Tiny Wedding” in May of 2020. Her daughter made berry sorbet for us, making the day even sweeter. We had our vow renewal ceremony and big official party at the barn in 2022. It was another perfect day full of love. When my first book was published, I had nowhere else in mind to have my release party. Once again, Cori welcomed us, and even got to meet our infant. Byron Barn symbolizes our love and our growth, and we hope to celebrate another milestone there someday."
