    My fiance and I are getting married in LA, but as we are bicoastal, I'd like to throw a nice party for my family and friends in upstate NY.  We're looking for an outdoor/indoor venue, hopefully a lovely, old, rustic barn to have a party in.  It would probably be no more than 50-75 people, and would be pretty casual.  No ceremony, just food and music.  Any ideas?  Must not be more than 60 miles away from Elmira, NY.  So, we're hoping for the Ithaca area.

    Thanks for your help!

    Check out the cortland repertory theator, http://www.cortlandrep.org/. It's not a barn but it's got that rustic feel.

    I would also check out rental properties at vrbo.com

    My family rented a house in a rural area during my sisters' wedding and held the welcome dinner there. It turned out to be a good deal because they could stay there and hold parties there.

    I recently stayed in a barn in Tivoli NY that we found on vrbo, but I think it's too far away from Ithaca for you.

    The Ithaca's farmers market would be perfect and I've actually been to a wedding there! It's right on the lake, gorgeous and rustic...

    Another option would be to contact some of the local vineyards in the area who usually have barns that might be willing to rent one out!

    my sister got married a treman state park.  it was so beautiful and they had a great shelter with a playground nearby and the inside was pretty big and beautiful  not a barn but not your typical park shelter by any means!

    This isn't near Ithaca but it's right down the road from our farm (we are not the Dairy Farm next door) and it is so beautiful. I'd love to have our wedding there but we can't afford it, alas. I think it is like $6,000 for the wedding, but as far as I understand they have a kitchen/sink, lights, tables, etc and you get to use the lovely house on the property to get ready, etc. Our Barn is a little bit more ... uhm, utilitarian :) Not sure anyone would want to get married with the tractor right there, it's a nice shade of green and all but it sort of smells like fuel and manure. Ha!

     

    EDIT: Whoops! I didn't read carefully and didn't see your 60 miles from Elmira requirement. Ancramdale is 210 miles away! Still, I'll leave this up in case people searching for the same thing in the future stumble on the thread.
