Anyone know of a farm wedding venue with a barn on it for a reception in Upstate New York? My fiance's family lives near Norwich and Greene. We would love to have a rustic, country-inspired wedding that's elegant and not quite a ho-down. I'm mostly finding venues I like in Vermont.
Their website could use some updating, but the place is amazing. Especially is your looking for a "rustic elegance". They have a outdoor ceremony site in a beautiful field by a stream, and you can have your reception in their renovated barn. The food is REALLY good there too. If you dont live too far away, you should go for a tour. The drive is nice too.
You could also try Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Pocantico Hills (Westchester Co.) but they're not "upstate"
Its a barn in Rochester that they renovated into a restaurant.
I feel for you. Originally when we thought we were having a fall wedding we wanted to hold the ceremony in an apple orchard with a barn for the reception. It sounds so warm and cozy and family oriented!
I didn't get a chance to visit it in person, but it looks nice in website photos. It was one of my top initial choices, but was vetoed by Mr.SV, so we found a park that we both loved. Marriage is about compromise, right?

I've never been there but it looks AMAZING. More upscale than the Full Moon Resort.
