Best Barn & Farm Wedding Venues in New York, NY

Black Walnut Farm in Saugerties is one of the Hudson Valley’s most unique and charming rustic vintage venues. The property includes the stunning restored 1891 barn and 1747 Dutch stone farmhouse, nestled into 34 acres of forests, gardens, and wildflower meadows. The barn retains its antique feel, while having modern amenities like air conditioning and a 4-foot disco ball.

Couples can choose from 3 ceremony sites (Lawn, Meadow, of Forest), and rentals include the use of the stone cottage farmhouse that looks like it was lifted from the pages of a storybook– for a cozy and relaxing weekend on this tucked-away estate.

Perhaps the best part of Black Walnut Farm is its location– about 90 minutes from NYC’s George Washington Bridge, it’s convenient to Kingston, Woodstock, accessible by train and bus from NYC, and is 45 minutes from the Albany airport– and there are 10 national chain hotels within 8 miles of the property.
