We got married a week ago and we were THRILLED with this venue! It was such a beautiful venue. Ryan and his staff gave us an unforgettable day! The best part was there is bridal ge...
tting ready room & a groom getting ready room which made it easy for everyone to get ready on site. Start to finish Ryan was amazing to work with he made sure we had everything we needed that day and the entire day ran very smoothly. I highly recommend this venue to any upcoming couples that are looking for a beautiful barn wedding in the finger lakes!

yan was responsive to our questions/requests. All our guests were raving about the food, especially the brisket and mac n cheese. So many people came up to tell us how beautiful the barn was and how much they loved it too. The new patio is also gorgeous and was a big hit. We are so happy we chose Old Hickory Farm!

Our daughter's wedding reception was at Old Hickory Farm and it was nothing short of AWESOME from the first visit until we drove away after the event. The owners are THE BEST and ...
they provide customer service like no other! The grounds are absolutely beautiful, the venue has everything you need and all we had to do was decorate...and we didn't need much because what is already there is gorgeous!...just some finishing personal touches. Their caterer, Mooney's BBQ, is OUTSTANDING and we couldn't have been happier. The day was magical and exactly what the bride and groom wanted! I only wish we could give more stars!

The Bakers are an absolute dream to work with! Martha was always just a text away. They are right there the whole wedding day and do an amazing job at making sure everything goes s...
moothly and as planned. Down from parking to helping clean up at the end of the reception. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with for our wedding. The venue is absolutely stunning, not only the inside but the amount of picture opportunities outside the venue are endless. They have an air conditioned room for the bridal party which was so nice and they also have fans to help circulate air within the farm, on hotter days it’s truly not horrible given the hill the farm is on and the large fans. The venue is large and can fit all of your family, while still being gorgeous. We hardly decorated given how amazing the decor they have in the farm prior to the wedding is. We couldn’t have picked a better venue and we loved working with the Bakers!

Our wedding day was absolutely gorgeous and our guests loved the venue! People couldn’t believe there was something so beautiful so close to home!

Where to start... the staff at Old Hickory farm was beyond helpful from the date we signed our contract to the day after the wedding. Martha was quick to answer any and all of my ...
questions (and trust me I had A LOT). She was accessible by email, text or call. Although it did rain on the day of and we had to move the ceremony inside, staff at Old Hickory Farm set up the outdoor setting just in case. They were supportive in working with me with the last minute changes to move everything inside.
Guests are still raving about the venue weeks later. The venue is absolutely gorgeous with the lighting already set up. We fell in love with it the moment we saw it. It was the first venue we went to. We saw several more but nothing else came close to what OHF had to offer. We were able to take pictures with the horses after and my photographer captured some of the most beautiful wedding photos I have ever seen because the entire place is gorgeous.
My wife and I can't say enough about Old hickory Farm and all it had to offer.
One other note that we really wanted to add because it is so important to us is that OHF is an LGBT friendly and welcoming venue.

e vendor has done to make the inside look amazing! From the moment we first toured the barn to the wedding day, I was in love. Martha was so helpful with any frantic texts I sent as well as helping with everything the day of and clean up afterwards. This venue is the perfect blend of rustic and chic, and if you are a fan of upstate NY I 100% recommend going to tour Old Hickory Farm!

e going for on your special day. The owners are absolutely amazing!! They are super kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. There is also plenty of parking space, it is located close to the NY Thru Way, it offers great photo opportunities, and it is reasonably priced!! The venue even offers a small apartment for a few members of the bridal party to stay at overnight. If you are looking for a country/barn style venue - this is the best venue around hands down!! <3 =)
