Do you host events year-round?
Yes! Our event season is May 1st – October 22nd. Off-season events are in the barn only. Please contact us for further details.
Can my photographer get access to the grounds prior to our event date?
Of course! We understand the importance of artistic integrity and urge you to invite your photographer to scout our vast 26-acre estate and get inspired for photo opportunities. We also welcome any engaged couple to the property, booked with us or not, to take their engagement photos on our grounds. Please contact us for further information!
Do you set up the tables and chairs?
We will have the ceremony chairs arranged in front of our permanent arbor. The tables and cross back chairs will be put near the area discussed during our layout meeting. It is your responsibility to delegate someone from your party (usually event coordinator/ family) to arrange the chairs and tables according to your seating charts the day of your event.
Do you provide catering, bar or beverage services?
We do not provide catering or bar services. We happily provide you with a list under our vendors page to help you with your search. It is ultimately your choice! We do require the caterer to provide proof that they hold $1 million in insurance and provide proof of a valid NYS liquor license at least a week prior to the event. We do not allow one day permits.
Do you have heat or air conditioning available?
Our barn is an open venue which is not conducive to the use of air conditioning. We have fans mounted strategically around the barn to improve air flow and comfort for our guests. Heaters are available at an additional charge.
Do you allow confetti?
No, we do not allow confetti. We allow the use of birdseed or flower petals outside of the barn and tents instead.
Do you allow pets?
Yes! We realize that pets are just as much of a part of your family as humans (if not the most important) and we do have a dog on site. Saaz is usually the first face on site to greet any guests. Please contact us for additional information with the waiver and the terms and conditions for having pets on site during your event.
What do you charge extra for?
We pride ourselves in our flat rate structure and not a la carte so there are very few things that we charge extra for. The only extra charge for in-season events is supplemental heating.
What is your capacity?
Our capacity is up to 200 guests. We do not have a minimum guest count. Please contact us for further information or questions.
