M & D FARM

couples lucky enough to get a date with them. Really well done. I look forward to doing more events here.

nt despite my seemingly endless number of questions. They are the sweetest and most kind men and made a typically very stressful process easy and fun. The actual grounds and farm house of M&D are absolutely stunning and were exactly what I had imagined for my wedding setting. On the actual day, Mario and Daniel transformed the space to become even more beautiful- it was beyond my wildest dreams. It is the perfect space for an intimate ceremony and reception, while allowing for many different areas for guests to hangout and relax and so many gorgeous photo opportunities. All of my guests could not stop raving about how gorgeous every detail was and many even said it was like a fairy tale or movie!!! I would encourage every bride to have their wedding at M&D! I am already starting to think about what event I can host there next. Thank you Mario and Daniel for everything. Xoxox

earching. Even from Instagram pictures, I could see that M&D Farm’s grounds are absolutely breathtaking, and are a true testament to Upstate New York’s lush green forests and rich golden fields that I miss each day. Planning a wedding from 3,000 miles away was not easy, but Daniel and Mario’s communication from beginning to end was seamless. They are experts at wedding coordination, and leave no detail unnoted. Mario and Daniel were always available with ideas and suggestions. They both have high standards and expect perfection, and coordinated effortlessly with our other vendors. Our wedding day was a dream. Everywhere I looked, guests were happy, laughing, dancing and enjoying the beautiful landscape. I have received endless compliments from all of my family and friends that are already looking into booking it for other engaged couples. I cannot recommend M&D Farms enough to anyone looking for a venue in Upstate New York. The house, the barn, the gardens, and the remarkable human beings that own it are far beyond anything I could ever ask for. Daniel and Mario are truly spectacular people who I feel connected to for life. My wedding was not only everything I have wished and hoped it would be since I was a little girl, it was so much better than that.

tensive with beautiful landscaping and it is emmaculate. You will not find a better venue or better people to work with to make your day perfect. If there were 10 stars they would be deserving!

d sincerity that pours out of them, that this was our location. Let me first begin with the fact that the photos they share are stunning... but by no means does it capture how truly inspiring M&D Farm is in person. Every single inch of property, every nook, every corner, everything is filled with so much love and attention. The entire place just feels passionate because of who Daniel and Mario are. You can feel their energy across the entire property. All of our guests were just stunned the entire time, exploring the upper gardens, the lake, the back fields, the front area (that they made a cigar smoking section for us with big plush arm chairs and rugs), the barn, the bar, the secret garden etc. It's as though it never ends but without feeling disconnected at all! OK, secondly, my wife and I hired Daniel and Mario as our day of coordinators as well and I promise you it was the best decision we could have ever made. They cared for everything we wanted, but didn't just carelessly say, "yes yes yes" to all our goals, they instead kindly offered all other options and creative solutions as well, for us to decide. If you hire them as coordinators you will not be let down, just let them do what they do. It's their land, they know it best, they will give you something unique to you but just trust them, they are geniuses. Thirdly, Daniel and Mario themselves are some of the kindest, most endearing, joyous and beautiful people around. I truly cannot imagine our wedding without them having been part of it. They brought us so much peace and joy and comfort it's just astounding to think about. When I honestly look back to my wedding, Mario and Daniel are a huge and fond part of my memories. Not only did they keep in touch with us in planning the event across the states, but during it, they worked endlessly and calmly with smiles on their faces, ensuring every single moment aligned perfectly. They helped all my guests with everything (including searching for and finding a diamond earring in a rock filled parking lot at night haha!) I honestly could go on forever but I'm running out of room. No words can do justice what Daniel, Mario, and M&D Farm provided us on our wedding day. You hear endless nightmare stories about people's wedding experiences in planning and day of and I had NONE of that... not a single split second of anxiety or doubt or confusion. Carl Buehner said, "They may forget what you said — but they will never forget how you made them feel." I hope this review acts as some sort of testament to how they made me feel which I will carry for the rest of my life.

emony to the reception perfectly! Our friends and family have still not stopped talking about how amazing everything was!

to be outside and we wanted to be able to make our wedding our own, but we didn't want to depend on a tent. We didn't want a barn wedding and "rustic" wasn't really our vibe. However, a couple of years ago I had been looking for Air BnBs around Thacher Park and stumbled across M&D when they were still just a rental property that also offered some cooking classes (I'm coming back for one of those still!!). I remember looking at the page, saving it, and telling my co-worker (who would later be my bridesmaid): "That's where I want to get married!" Imagine our luck when I got engaged and realized M & D was now up and running as a wedding venue! From our initial meeting, we were hooked. We loved Mario and Daniel, and it was key for us to work with people who we enjoyed being around. Other factors were important to us as well: They provided chairs and tables (potentially eliminating/limiting the need for a rental company), there was at least a structure on site in case of inclement weather, the grounds were ridiculously beautiful, it wasn't an entirely blank canvas, and Mario and Daniel clearly had a lot of passion for what they do. We booked that same day, even pushing our wedding date back by a week so we could get married there. Over time, it proved to be a phenomenal decision for many reasons. First, everybody loves them so vendors were thrilled to work with them. Second, there was constant communication to see how things were coming. They truly wanted to make sure everything was flawless, so they made sure things were going smoothly on my end. Third, they were constantly making improvements to the property. The property evolved immensely since our time of booking. Fourth, they were incredibly generous with their time. In addition to stopping my with my wedding planner, they had no problem with me setting up a time to stop by with my Mom (who was helping me with a lot of the decor) as she hadn't seen the venue. My husband even was riding his bike past their place one day, and they invited him in for water and coffee. Fifth, their response time is insane. Mario told me he doesn't like to let emails sit for over a day. It was amazing. On the day of our wedding, they were truly phenomenal. Daniel stepped in to help direct cars to parking (complete in a conductor hat) while Mario made sure everything was ready to go. They were a constant presence to make sure everything was happening flawlessly. I can't imagine this happens at many venues. They were in fact so present, that people thought they were guests at our wedding and we had a number of friends introduce themselves, only to realize it was the owners!! At one point I went into the farmhouse (this can be fully rented or used as a suite) and smelled a delicious meal cooking. Daniel was whipping up a vendor meal after some...issues...with our caterer. Apparently it was amazing! I'm running out of space unfortunately, and could go on forever. In the end, people said our wedding was the most beautiful wedding they had every attended. While I credit my Mom with some of that, most of it goes to the venue. I'm forever grateful to them for giving me the most perfect wedding day. I look forward to keeping in touch with them for life. Thank you guys!

beauty that surrounded them that evening. The gardens and sprawling fields were simply breathtaking. Ben and I snuck away for 5 minutes alone in the back field and found ourselves surrounded by fireflies, listening from a far to our guests laugh and dance to the band. The memory will last a life time! Our guests have not stoped talking about our wedding since, and also how incredibly delicious the catering was from Lily and the Rose was. Ben and I were so fortunate to have our dreams come true on our big day. Thank you Mario and Daniel for the love you so clearly put into the farm, making it such an incredibly magical place. If you are considering celebrating at the farm, you will not be disappointed! Memories to cherish for a lifetime and an experience like no other.

ic wedding that is purely elegant, this is the venue for you. Mario and Daniel were the most accommodating, caring people that treat you with kindness for the most important day of your life, not just like another number. There attention to detail is what makes this place perfection. They were always available for us for anything we needed along the way. We wish we would've booked them for their wedding coordination services as well. Along our journey, we've gained two lifetime friends. M&D Farm will not disappoint!!

tations. Mario and Daniel are so welcoming and are so thoughtful! We both felt like they were part of the family with how attentive, helpful and excited they were! Their assistance and attention to every detail created a very seamless experience and we felt like we were floating on air. Our guests had nothing but great things to say about the farm and they loved all the unique details. It was an unforgettable day and I would recommend M&D for any special event!

fe! Every detail of our wedding was perfect. I keep reminiscing about the day and it just makes me smile from ear to ear. 90% of our guests came up to my husband and I and said that our wedding was one of the most beautiful weddings they'd ever been to and said it could be in a magazine! If you're considering M&D for your wedding, do yourself a favor and give them a call. You won't regret it!

m of...they have it! Love Love Love!!!
