The Wedding That Doesn't Feel Like a Rental
Most wedding venues look the same. You show up, take your pictures, follow the schedule, and leave. It's efficient. It's packaged. And let's be real — it's forgettable.
That's not what we're doing here.
At our farm, we've created something that feels real. Natural. Grounded. The kind of place where you don't have to pretend to be someone you're not. The air smells different here. The light moves differently through the trees. The photos don't need filters. This isn't a showroom. It's 24 acres of Hudson Valley forest — and it's yours to explore.
Why Forest Weddings Just Hit Different
Nature Has Its Own Decorator
When you step into the woods, you're stepping into something already beautiful. You don't need giant floral arches or overdone centerpieces. The trees are your cathedral. The moss is your aisle runner. Every squirrel is a guest of honor.
And the best part? It doesn't feel staged.
Your grandmother will cry because the ceremony is heartfelt. Not because of uplighting or a fog machine. Guests talk about the way the sun hit the leaves — not the brand of the linens.
This is why people remember forest weddings.
Your Story Feels Personal
When couples tour our place, they always say the same thing: “This feels like us.”
It's not a ballroom pretending to be rustic. It's not an Instagram set. It's the real deal — the chirping birds, the wind moving through tall pines, the smell of earth after the rain. A forest wedding doesn't just look different. It feels different. You're not just hosting an event. You're creating a memory that will anchor your love story for years.
The Freedom You've Been Looking For
No Cookie-Cutter Timelines
Want to hike in with your partner? Do it. Want your dog as your flower girl? Absolutely. Want a bonfire after the ceremony with your favorite playlist blasting? We're in.
Out here, you're not bound by rigid timelines or someone else's script. You're not rushed to the next couple's rehearsal. You're not paying for things you don't need just to get the things you do. You get space. You get time. And most importantly, you get control.
Nature's Vibe Is the Best Reset Button
Most people don't realize how wound up they are until they're standing barefoot in the grass, watching deer at the edge of the tree line. It's like your nervous system exhales.
That's what a forest wedding offers — not just beauty, but calm. Not just Instagrammable, but intimate. It resets the tone for your relationship before you even say "I do."
What Makes Our Place Different
It's Not Just Forest — It's Our Home
We didn't buy this land just to host weddings. We live here. We've shaped this place with care — from the organic gardens to the trails that wind through the woods. This isn't a commercial venue designed by a committee. It's land with soul. And when you're here, you're not just renting it. You're part of it.
We don't do ten weddings a weekend. We don't cycle people in and out like a factory. We're selective. We're intentional. Because we want every couple to feel like they actually belong here.
Built for Connection
Weddings should be about connection — not production. That's why our space is designed to foster community. We've got wide-open meadows for your ceremony, shaded groves for cocktail hour, and cozy nooks where people can just… breathe.
No one's crammed into a windowless hall. No one's yelling over a DJ. The sound of the leaves, the smell of the air, the simplicity of wood and stone — it brings people together without trying too hard.
That's where the magic is.
Planning a Forest Wedding? Here's What You Need to Know
Let Nature Set the Tone
Don't overthink it. Forest weddings work best when you let the environment guide your choices. Earthy colors, flowing fabrics, natural materials — all of it just works.
Skip the 5-tier fondant cake and go for pies from a local farm. Let your friend play guitar instead of hiring a string quartet. Wear boots under your dress. Or go barefoot.
This isn't about impressing people. It's about grounding yourself in something real.
Think Weather-Ready, Not Weather-Perfect
Forest weddings are stunning. But you're also working with nature. That means prepping for weather — and embracing it.
We've seen the most beautiful weddings happen under light rain. We've had ceremonies delayed for golden hour, and no one minded. Have a backup tent? Yes. But also bring a good attitude. Nature does her thing, and somehow, it always works out.
Guests Love the Unexpected
Here's what guests always tell us: they didn't expect to love it this much.
They thought it would be “too outdoorsy” or “too simple.” But what actually happened? They slowed down. They connected. They cried during the vows. They danced under the stars. They roasted marshmallows with your nieces. And they left saying it was the most memorable wedding they'd ever been to.
Who This Is For
The Couple That Doesn't Want to Fake It
If you want to impress people, there are plenty of ballrooms for that. But if you want a wedding that actually feels like you — grounded, warm, unfussy, intentional — this might be the place.
You care about meaning. You'd rather have a real moment than a perfect photo. You don't want fluff. You want roots.
The Families Who Care About Experience Over Show
We've hosted couples with big families, small families, blended families — you name it. And the feedback is the same: “This felt like a real celebration.”
People linger longer. They engage more. They talk. They play games. Kids run free. Elders sit in rocking chairs with cider. It's not a show. It's a gathering.
And isn't that what a wedding is supposed to be?
Make Your Wedding Mean Something
Weddings have become a performance. A checklist. A flex. But they don't have to be.
You can keep it real. You can keep it natural. You can build a day around love and beauty and presence — not price tags and Pinterest boards.
That's what we offer here. Not just a venue. A shift. A return. A memory that feels rooted — in nature, in community, and in truth.
If that's what you've been looking for, maybe it's time to explore a Forest Wedding in New York.
