About this vendor
Rich in familial history, Heritage Barn at the Dunham Homestead is a wedding venue located in Hamilton, NY. This generational farm has been transformed into an event space that is primed to host celebrations of family. You’re invited to add your special story to its ever-expanding legacy.
Managers Allie and Drew Dunham represent the current generation of Dunhams that operate the Heritage Barn. The estate’s history stretches back over a century when it was established by Alpha Dunham as a livestock farm. It has since evolved, and the family has decided to open the doors of their homestead to those seeking comfort and style for their celebration. The property stretches over 200 acres, featuring undulating hills that allow for panoramic views of Chenango Valley. It is removed enough to feel like a private retreat, but the property’s history will make you feel like a part of its community. Two farmhouses are located on the homestead where you can prepare in tranquility for your big day. These comfortable lodgings can also be used by the wedding party and their guests that wish to spend the night after their celebration. These expansive grasslands provide multiple sites for outdoor ceremonies. You can set up an aisle of your own design and exchange your vows against a backdrop of blue skies and gentle slopes. Alternatively, the Heritage Barn is a charming setting for your service. It maintains its classic, rich wooden interior and features a high vaulted ceiling, giving it a distinctly hallowed aesthetic. With a quick rearrangement of furniture, it can serve as a delightful reception area. Boasting a capacity of up to 300 guests, there is ample room for each of your loved ones.
To help you create a seamless celebration, the management of the venue can provide a detailed list of their most trusted vendors. In their years of coordination experience, they have compiled a catalog of incredible talent, from caterers to photographers. Furnishing your event with a distinct vintage style will be no issue, as the staff can also provide tables, chairs, and decor. Arrange your momentous event with ease by choosing to celebrate at this pastoral estate.

The Dunham’s, especially Allie and Mari, were amazing! They made us feel so comfortable and they really took the time to ensure we had everything we needed to make our weekend perfect. From early stage planning and multiple tours of the venue, to handling our flowers and the day of coordination; they were there. Allie even went above and beyond to assist last minute with our after party. We brought in a lot things on our own like, linens, silverware, decor, etc. so having the option to do an early set up at the barn the day before was awesome! We (and our wedding party) rented the farmhouse the night before. It was perfect for the little cookout/rehearsal dinner we had with our family and friends and for getting ready in the morning.
We can’t wait to get our photos back so we can see how beautiful and memorable this venue made our wedding day. A big thank you to the Dunham Family!

e and stay on site. Allie is so organized down to every detail and Mari knows exactly what needs to be done and is so helpful throughout the event. After spending over a year planning a wedding you hope it’s everything you dreamed of and our wedding at the heritage barn was all of that and more. Our friends and family had an amazing time and everything was exactly as planned. It was a memorable weekend for sure. If you’re looking for an outdoor upstate ny wedding venue, don’t look any further. We wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you so much Dunham family!!
