Back when my fiance and I were searching for our perfect venue to host our wedding, we already knew…read morewe wanted a barn themed wedding. We went to visit a few locations, and searched many more online for days on weeks. It was when we stumbled upon this venue that we knew our search was over. Owls Hoot Barn checked off every box we wanted in a wedding venue. There were even factors we had not necessarily considered in a venue that OHB was and to deliver without fail. The grounds of venue - gorgeous, the owner and her entire family/team - most amazing people you can find, decor and supplies - everything we wanted and needed, overall experience - exactly what you would expect when you think of a small piece of paradise/heaven! And this also includes the fact that our beloved pups were allowed to be on the grounds and partake in our special day! The owner of the venue, who was also our wedding coordinator, went above and beyond to help us arrange everything we needed to make it wedding perfect. Even going as far to come back on site for our rehearsal dinner during her own wedding anniversary! How many people would be willing to do that? Her passion for ensuring every couple out there sees their vision fulfilled is truly one that is undeniable and unique. We could not have pulled this off, let alone reduce our wedding planning stress significantly, without her help. My now wife, our current (and future pups) and myself now have found a place we don't just refer to as a hidden gem, but a small place we can call another home. For any future couples out there, whether you are considered local or coming from another state of the U.S. entirely, you will fall in love with OHB. My wife probably would think I shouldn't leave too long of a review as some people might think "that one is too long to read" but I can't help express how much we truly were blessed with this place...so much that even to this day we joke about doing it all over again just to relive our wedding weekend back in October 2025. For any current/future couples out there searching for a wedding venue in Hudson Valley, NY...this place should absolutely be #1 on your list!

The old barn dates back to the 1700s and is the perfect setting for a rustic country wedding. We stayed through Harvest Hosts, but they also rent cabins, a farmhouse, RV spots, and a glamping barn. The property also has a wood-fired sauna, cold plunge, and a creekside swimming hole--such a relaxing and memorable stay!

My fiancé and I toured Stonehouse Gardens when we were looking for wedding reception spaces in the…read moreHudson Valley area. Deb and Steve were so welcoming and helpful in answering all of our questions, and their property is absolutely gorgeous. You can see the years of love and care that have gone into maintaining their house and its surrounding land over generations. One of their adorable cats even hopped along with us on our tour! While we ended up going with a different event space, closer to our ceremony site, I would recommend Stonehouse Gardens to anyone looking for a unique and rustic place to host an event, particularly if you are looking to be in the natural beauty of the outdoors. There were so many areas of the property that would have been lovely for photos, it would have been almost impossible to choose!

We had a food truck and food stall, created our own outdoor cocktail hour area with strands of lights and a photo booth, and transformed the barn into an 80s disco. If you can dream it, Deb and Steve can help you make it happen. The venue itself is gorgeous! We had a perfect fall day and the lighting was wonderful for photos. Our guests still talk about how great Stonehouse Gardens was for a wedding. We highly recommend Stonehouse Gardens.

Nonetheless it was a nice stay and we could tell the rooms have been recently renovated. We even ate at the restaurant one nite and we enjoyed the food there. Only improvements I wish are better breakfast options and that they clean our room on a daily basis. For some reason, our room wasn't cleaned the next day. But those are minor complaints given the nice stay and Captain Wayne. Our son enjoyed it so that's enough of a nod for us.

Wonderful venue for wedding. The view is great and the venue is spacious to host both outdoor and…read moreindoor ceremony. The indoor space has a bar, a dance section, a billiard table (tho not official and a bit lower in height), room that you can serve food to guests, and hang out with friends. The outdoor space is large enough for host a ceremony, it has some tables and seats and tree with a swing. I'd say the view outdoors is pretty beautiful, specially at night. I think this can be a good venue to have celebs in. Definitely recommend it : )

We can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was at Vanderbilt Lakeside. Henrietta and…read moreMatt spared no effort to make us feel comfortable, relaxed and at home in their beautiful space. And yes, it is truly beautiful! It retains the charm of an older estate but with modern amenities. For example, during our wedding weekend, it was extremely hot outside, so we were somewhat limited in doing outdoor activities during the day. Regardless, we were able to enjoy ourselves inside, with the spacious rooms, ample seating and indoor activities, and music throughout the space. We also had a great time doing karaoke! We loved that guests who wanted to go to sleep early could. The upstairs rooms are private, quiet and well-air-conditioned. And we loved that they each had their own bathroom! We also appreciated Henrietta, Matt and their team's efforts to make sure the catered dinner was a success. The food was incredible. We loved having the option to pick from so many dishes, and all of them were fantastic. Having them handle everything allowed us to just focus on the wedding and enjoy spending time together. Maybe the thing we appreciated most of all was how quickly they dealt with any requests or (minor) issues that came up. They felt like our partners throughout the weekend, responding quickly to questions and never making us feel like we were burdening them. At the end of the weekend, a few attendees remarked that they were thinking about doing a future event at Vanderbilt, because they loved it so much. We recommend Vanderbilt Lakeside without reservation!
