The Barn at Villa Venezia

hat we had imagined. I genuinely would not have changed a single thing about our day. The entire team at The Barn is incredible. We worked most closely with Sabrina and Nicole throughout the planning process, and they are absolute rockstars. From all of the pre-wedding prep through the wedding day and beyond, they made everything feel so seamless. They were organized, responsive, incredibly helpful and always made us feel like we were in good hands. On the wedding day, Nicole was with us for the entire day, making sure there were no hiccups, checking that we had everything we needed and handling so many little details behind the scenes so we could just enjoy ourselves. The food was UNREAL. Our guests could not stop talking about it (and neither could we). Everything was incredible from start to finish, and the service was just as impressive. Their entire staff worked together so seamlessly, and you could tell everyone knew exactly what needed to happen and when. And then there’s the venue itself. The vibes were immaculate, the ambiance was perfect, and the space is just STUNNING. Every part of it photographed beautifully and created exactly the atmosphere we wanted for our wedding. What stood out to us most, though, was how much this team genuinely cares about their couples. You can tell they are invested in making sure your day feels special and that you are actually able to enjoy it. We never felt like just another wedding on the calendar. We felt supported, taken care of and completely confident in the team from beginning to end. The Barn at Villa Venezia is truly the best venue in the Hudson Valley!

perfect for such a special day. Our family and friends could not stop talking about the stunning setting, especially the beautiful outdoor waterfall. The food was beyond amazing. The breakfast selections were so delicate and beautifully presented for a bridal shower , the French toast sticks with individual cups of syrup were such a thoughtful touch! The fruit and yogurt parfaits, bacon, egg croissants, and mini chicken and waffles were all huge hits with our guests. Then came lunch, and it just kept getting better with the Taste of Italy, panini station, and mini sliders. Everything was delicious and plentiful. They also did a wonderful job accommodating gluten-free and vegan guests, which we truly appreciated. The staff was like no other, absolutely incredible. Nicole, the Maître D’, took such wonderful care of every detail and made sure everything ran perfectly. Her attention to detail and kindness made the day even more special. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about The Barn. We loved every moment, and they made an already special day even more unforgettable. Highly recommended for any special event!

Alyssa helped us on the wedding day and were awesome as well. The made the day run smoothly and updated us when guests were arriving, what was to come next and got us our food for bridal suite to enjoy from cocktail hour. Location was perfect. Not too far outside of NYC, but far enough that we felt upstate and away from the Long Island noise. Food was DELICIOUS. Our guests raved about the food and said it was better than any other wedding food they had. It was convenient having the venue, Airbnb for bridal party plus bride/groom, and the tavern for rehearsal dinner all in one spot. Really couldn’t beat that. Rehearsal dinner food was sooo good. Then, we had guests stay at the Marriott and Hampton inn 6 minutes away, and used the local school buses to transport guests. Got flowers from Adam’s farms, and cake from Adam’s farms. Easy peasy! They delivered to the venue and were really nice there. Highly recommend. Our wedding day was truly perfect. Wouldn’t have changed a thing. We had the upstairs portion of the venue, 5:30 ceremony while sun was setting in the background. The venue was clean, modern, beautiful, breathtaking, all in one. When we visited for a tour we were in immediately in love. Food tasting day was a dream too. It got us so excited for the actual wedding day. We want to visit again and highly recommend having your wedding here!!!! 

k ethic are truly admirable. Sara was incredibly helpful with suggestions and thoughtful options throughout the process. Always responded promptly we any questions we had. We are absolutely thrilled with how the day turned out, everything was simply perfect. The bride and groom are overjoyed, and we cannot say enough wonderful things about The Barn, especially Sara, she is a GEM! Thank you for making the day so special. The Carmona/Tierney families 

arita was truly amazing, from start to finish she helped me every step of the way!!! If you are considering, book! You will NOT be disappointed!!!

omantic, and beautifully designed. • The maître d', bartenders, and day-of staff were excellent—professional, attentive, and kind. • The cocktail hour was a highlight! We received so many compliments on the food and presentation. ⚠️ Cons: • Pricing felt excessive for the location and timing. We had a Sunday daytime wedding (12–5:30 PM), but because it fell on Columbus Day weekend, it was priced as a full Saturday event—nearly $300 per person after tax and gratuity, just for catering and bar. Most businesses and banks are open that day, so it felt like a stretch to classify it as a holiday. • Ceremony fees and lack of transparency. The onsite ceremony fee was $2,500 for just 30 minutes and included only guest chairs—no décor or staging. I originally planned to hold the ceremony outdoors in the courtyard, which is lovely but the ceremony space is bare. I asked multiple times what couples typically do for décor, and was told “most people don’t add anything because the landscape is pretty.” Two weeks before the wedding, I learned from another bride that the venue offers staging services—backdrops, décor, and more—through their in-house vendor. I had already exceeded my budget, but to avoid a bare setup, I dropped another $2,000. Had I known earlier, I would’ve planned differently and saved money and stress. The company also offered a beautiful and budget-friendly centerpiece setup that I would’ve gladly chosen. Unfortunately, by the time I found out about it, I had already designed my own tablescape and purchased all the materials—which I then had to transport back and forth myself. • Indoor ceremony space felt cramped. Due to weather, our ceremony was moved to the upstairs Farmview room. It looked nice, but was tight for our 90 guests. Without the staging, it would have been a major letdown. • Food quality didn’t match the tasting. At our tasting, the entrées were fantastic. On the wedding day, however, most guests chose the Filet Mignon—and nearly all were overcooked. My husband requested medium rare and received well done. He sent it back and asked for another, and the replacement was also overcooked. We heard similar feedback from many guests. • No flexibility on last-minute guest cancellations. I made my final payment a little over two weeks before the wedding. A few days later, two guests canceled. I asked if we could receive a credit or apply the ~$600 toward something else—like a champagne tower or martini luge, both priced lower than that—but was told no. They offered to package the meals to-go, but that never happened. Perhaps I should’ve followed up on the day of, but considering how the filet turned out, the meals likely would’ve gone uneaten—and it certainly wouldn’t have softened the sting of losing $600. Final Thoughts: I genuinely loved my wedding and the venue’s ambiance, but I wish the coordination had been more proactive and transparent. With better communication, I could’ve made more informed decisions and avoided unnecessary stress and extra costs.

p, which took so much off our plate during the planning process. The layout was perfect—everything flowed effortlessly from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception. One of the highlights for us and our families was being able to stay right on-site at the farmhouse, which made the entire weekend even more special. We also really appreciated being able to drop off our décor a few days in advance. It made things so much less stressful, and everything was beautifully packed up for a smooth and easy pickup the next day. The food was incredible—our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was, and how much there was to enjoy! A special shoutout to our maitre d’, Margherita, who was by our side the entire night. She made sure we were always hydrated, had our signature drinks in hand, and truly helped us relax and enjoy every moment. She went above and beyond to make the night stress-free. And to our venue coordinator, Sara—thank you for your support in the months leading up to the wedding. Your quick responses and guidance made a world of difference. We’re so thrilled we chose this venue and would absolutely recommend it to anyone planning their big day. Don’t wait—book it!

tart to finish was seamless. Our wedding coordinator, Sara was fantastic and super helpful during the entire planning process. Our maitre d’s were Kayla & Casey and they were amazing! They made sure my husband and I were taken care of the entire night and constantly checking in to ensure we were comfortable and in the loop. Our guests could not stop talking about the staff, food & vibe of the Barn. The venue speaks for itself and has so much character, we hardly had to add decor. They also offer a farmhouse stay on the venues property for an additional cost which was the perfect place to hang out with our bridal parties the night before and getting ready the day of. We would recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a relaxing, fun & organized wedding!!

hing started when we met with Margarita one year prior to our wedding. From the moment we met her, she was cracking jokes with my husband and mom and we instantly knew we not only found the best place to get married, but with the best maitre d! Every question, concern, idea, or simple check in with Margarita was like calling a best friend to chat. She helped us plan everything and was very honest about what we should do or what we shouldn’t do based on what the Barn already had to offer. (Which is everything!) Day of our wedding, Margarita went above and beyond for us. Her team of Kayla and Madison, on top of every server and waitstaff was impeccable! I vividly remember at the end of our cocktail hour about 5 different guests coming up to us to tell us how great the staff was. Hearing this, my husband and I made sure to thank the staff cleaning up the cocktail hour before we even entered the reception hall. That’s how amazing everyone and everything was and I wanted to make sure they knew how happy we were. We unfortunately had a terrible experience with our photographer but Margarita was right by our side to make sure they didn’t completely ruin our day. I was able to give her “the look” and she was able to jump in and help us deal with our photographer. I have not one bad thing to say about getting married at the Barn! Now I’m waiting for someone to get married so I can go back and be a guest! If you’re in the wedding planning process, call the Barn and ask for Margarita!!!

ith plenty of explanation. Food tasting was amazing and they let us do a private second tasting to narrow down our choices. Then come the wedding day. It was the most perfect venue I could’ve ever asked for. We even stayed at the Airbnb next-door, which was wonderful as well. The only issue I had with this venue was the bartenders, but other than that, I absolutely loved this decision my husband and I made.

ve my wedding there, so we did, and it was the most beautiful romantic venue. We got married at the farm land during sunset and the setting was breath taking. We had the string lights on which gave it such a romantic vibe. Our photos during the ceremony were STUNNING. The lighting the florals and the scenery were just amazing. We had the entire upstairs for cocktail hour and our reception. There was plenty of room and our guests loved being able to switch between the rooms if the music was too much or if they needed some fresh air. Everyone kept talking about the food and how delicious it was. The menu options were out of this world and so hard to choose from. Sara was our coordinator and she was outstanding. She kept in contact with us throughout the entire year of wedding planning. She was very VERY accommodating and made sure everything was perfect the day of for us. My maître d was amazing. She was so sweet, super helpful and on top of everything! My bustle broke a million times and she immediately pinned me back up everytime. She was so observant and relieved any stress the day of and I appreciate it so much! So many of guests said that was the nicest wedding venue they’ve ever been to and the best wedding they’ve ever been to. We were so happy to hear that because they’ve been to ALOT of weddings. It’s all thanks to the barn! I highly recommend anyone looking to get married here to book it, you will not regret it! (:

to the Barn and our coordinator, Margherita. It was the first venue we looked at, and the only one we kept thinking about after. The Barn is the absolute perfect venue for that rustic vibe, while also being an actual venue and event space. Throughout the entire process, Margherita was there to answer any questions we had, and walk us through the process. The tasting was so delicious it was hard to choose. We had numerous guests tell us it was the best wedding food they have ever had, and multiple others say it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to. As a bride and groom, we felt so stress-free the entire day, from the delicious continental breakfast when we stayed the Farmhouse (highly recommend, the convenience alone makes it worth it, and it was so perfectly kept), to being able to take a moment in the suite just the two of us before cocktail hour while Margherita and Nick brought us food and drinks, to not having to ask for a drink or worry about anything the night of. The bar staff was amazing and we received so many compliments on how good the drinks were and how quickly they were served. They even put a sugared rim on some drinks, truly just going above and beyond. We really could not have asked for a better venue or staff to make our winter wedding dreams come true. They worked so well with all of our vendors, and every vendor we booked who knew the Barn was so excited to come back. Robin and the staff decorated the Barn so incredibly beautifully, we had so many guests take pictures in the foyer and throughout the Barn. Robin was so accommodating and talented in decorating. We truly did not have to worry about a thing the day of the wedding, and were able to really enjoy ourselves. I cannot recommend this venue enough. I will be begging everyone I know to get married there so we can go back!

staff that was extremely professional. This venue spoke for itself, you do not need to worry about so much extra "stuff." It was truly the happiest and most magical day our lives. If you are looking for upscale/modern/country feel, this is your spot! Do not bother looking anywhere else!! Cannot wait to have our baby shower here when the time comes!!!
