We have limited capacity for events and on occasion will host weddings, but we are not a full service wedding vendor. All events must be self-organized, meaning we do not supply tents, tables, chairs, meals, decor, portable toilets, etc. Set-up and break-down is the sole responsibility of the guest, we only provide the location and guidance/light assistance. Use of the barn for events is limited, as we use our barn for our farm operations; partial use of the barn may be arranged.
We require guests of an event to purchase:
-
One-Day Beer and Wine Permit ($36 | https://sla.ny.gov/permits-available-online)
-
Event Insurance (~$50-80, available from many insurance providers)
-
Permits and insurance may be provided by catering companies. We suggest Olivers
-
Portable toilets
-
Tents if desired. We suggest McCarthy Tents and Events
-
We strongly suggest a catering service
-
Shuttle service for overflow of +30 cars. 1.7 miles near is a park and ride which may help lower shuttle fees. Ride Sharing (Uber/Lyft) is also available in the area.
Location Fee for 50-person event ($40/person after 50 people), includes 2 nights in 4-bedroom Guest House for the night before and night of the event: $3600. Weddings must end at 10pm.
If available, we also offer a 2-bedroom cottage for $250/night and encourage new couples to spend their first night together in this private, romantic getaway
Large, tented events must take place between June-October to mitigate mud damage
