- Suzy and DavidOwnersSuzy grew up in New York City on Park Avenue where she joined her family who have been working in the wedding business for four generations. Her husband, David, grew up down the road from the farm, never knowing that someday that land up on the hill would be his. He is a third generation farmer and maple sugar maker who started boiling sap when he was ten. Together they have created a secluded wedding destination where his rustic utility and her sophisticated sensibility court one another. They have saved a fallow farm, two historic barns, the original farmhouse, heritage maple and apple trees, and three centuries of farming tradition. David & Suzy are welcoming, generous, and passionate about the land.
- Dan L.Wedding PlannerDan's positive presence will guide you through the wedding planning process with the utmost care and expertise. We are sure you will love Dan's experience with weddings, quick response to inquiries, and most of all his warm smile and relaxing presence.
- Christina SheilsWedding PlannerChristina has worked for a decade in arts programming, event production, and wedding planning.

His magnetic personality will keep you calm on wedding day and make your guests feel as if they are in the company of an old friend.
- Will V.ChefWill's experience with food began with farming. It was in his time as a grower that he came to appreciate that cooking is more than the sum of constituent ingredients. For Will, the process of designing a menu and preparing a meal is an act of love - for nature, for the farmer, and for the experience of bringing people closer to the land upon which their food is grown. Months of planning and preparation precede any meal when cooking from seed to plate. It is the happenstance of the season, human labor, and the health of the soil that align to bring food to our tables; and it is in deference to that resilient choreography that Will prepares seasonally sourced menus. After working in bakeries and kitchens from California to New York in the winter months, Will co-founded Wheelhouse in 2015, which continues its mission of cooking seasonal meals on farms and at private events throughout the Connecticut River Valley. Now you can catch Will foraging in our fields and planning with our local farmers to bring you an incredible farm-to-plate experience here at Valley View Farm.
- Jake M.Catering ManagerJake fell in love with the food industry by way of working on local farms, which eventually led to a food truck and catering. He has years of experience managing events, catering teams, and food operations. He's an expert at turning chaos into calm!
- PatrickChefPatrick’s culinary passion began at a young age. He worked at his uncle’s bakery while learning Culinary Arts in high school and continued his education through culinary school at New England Culinary Institute. He has traveled and worked in many southern restaurants where he has found his niche and developed an eagerness for using food to its highest potential and keeping waste to a minimum. He believes cooking is always evolving and can not wait to see what the future of food will bring.
- Cassie DowneyCatering ManagerCassie’s love for family and over a decade in the service industry have cultivated a passion for taking care of the people around her. Getting to collaborate in the creation of moments where people gather to celebrate brings her joy and her dedication to organization can be seen in the smallest details.

I got married early April this year and it was SO beautiful even though the flowers hadn't bloomed yet. The venue was perfect, and I had the home on the venue booked as well for my...
friends and it was PERFECT. Dan was with me every step of the way from booking, rehearsals, and day of of course. My family, friends, and I all felt so comfortable and happy truly because of Dan and the wonderful team.
If you want the perfect wedding with little to no stress, trust Dan and his recommendations. I followed all of his recommendations so I barely planned - just showed up and had a wonderful time :) Thank you so much to the Valley View Farm for such a memorable few days!!!!! I am truly so lucky to have found you all.

. Our wedding planner, Dan LaFlamme, was the consummate professional and made our wedding day the time of our lives. The level of detail and care he provides, allows you to soak up the entirety of the day, as every logistical item is planned to a T and executed flawlessly. Zofia, China, and the entire catering staff were tremendous and the food was phenomenal. Thaddeus, and the bar staff created delicious signature cocktails and provided outstanding services. Everyone who attended had nothing but glowing things to say about the venue, which is a direct reflection on their staff. They truly are amazing people and will ensure your wedding day is the best day of your life.

My husband and I do not have enough words to describe how amazing this venue is, but, more importantly, how beyond amazing the staff are!! We worked with Christina (wedding planner...
), Thaddeus (bar manager), and Alex (catering manager). This was truly a dream team. We also got help from entire VVF team and got to know Suzy and David (owners), who were so sweet and welcoming to us from the first time we visited and every time we saw them after. My husband and I are a multi-racial couple (Black and Indian), so we had a multi-cultural wedding. The VVF team worked closely with us to ensure traditions on both sides really shined. Christina went above and beyond throughout the whole process and really supported us. She stepped in mid planning process as our original planner, Shannon (also amazing) transitioned to a new job, and she didn’t miss a beat. She was extremely considerate of how we wanted to do things while also keeping us on track with essentials/things to consider as we moved along and it made our process so much easier than it would’ve been otherwise. Alex and Zofia worked with us to make the most AMAZING menu of Indian and Soul food. We loved it so much and all of our guests were raving about how it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. We couldn’t speak highly enough of how accommodating they were of a menu that would’ve been probably impossible to do well anywhere else. Thaddeus made us the most amazing cocktails and mocktails. He was a delight to work with during our tasting process and even the drinks that we didn’t select were awesome. The entire service team was incredibly attentive and hospitable. So many people made a point to let us know how remarkable the service was and we felt that too constantly seeing people checking in with guests and making sure that food trays were refilled. We also want to highlight how comfortable everybody at every stage of the process made us feel, especially as people of color in a very white area. We would wholeheartedly recommend this place to anybody.

We cannot say enough amazing things about our experience at Valley View Farm and especially about Dan, who was absolutely phenomenal as our wedding planner.
From the moment we arr...
ived, we knew we had chosen the perfect venue. The view is absolutely gorgeous — sweeping, peaceful, and the most beautiful backdrop for a wedding. The barn is stunning: elegant, warm, and perfectly maintained. We were married under the tree with our chuppah, and it truly felt magical. It was everything we envisioned and more.
The staff and owners are incredibly warm and welcoming. They made us and our families feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. And the food and drinks were fantastic — we received so many compliments from our guests about how delicious everything was.
Dan is truly something special. He is a perfectionist in the best possible way — attentive to every detail without ever being pushy. He is warm, caring, and fully present. Throughout the planning process and especially on the wedding day, he anticipated everything we needed. He has an incredible vision and eye for design and flow, and he executed everything flawlessly.
On the day of, he was efficient, calm, and completely in control — yet never once made us feel rushed or pressured. Multiple guests commented on how amazing he was and how seamlessly everything ran. We felt so taken care of the entire time.
If you are considering Valley View Farm, do not hesitate. It is a breathtaking venue with an outstanding team, and Dan will make your wedding feel effortless and extraordinary.

We had our wedding at Valley View on October 3rd and it could not have been more perfect. We first found Valley View from a post that showed up on social media, and we decided to l...
ook into them because (obviously) it looked gorgeous. From the jump, we absolutely loved the transparency from Valley View - their website not only had their calendar availability so we could see if our desired dates were available, but also their pricing so we could understand without an awkward phone call whether or not it was in-budget. We also loved that the price included a dedicated Wedding Coordinator. After our initial inquiry and a tour with Christina, we knew Valley View was the place. They responded quickly to all of our questions via email and Christina walked us through what an entire wedding day at Valley View would look like on our tour. Luckily, Christina ended up being our coordinator because SHE. WAS. AMAZING.
We loved her from day one, but getting to work with her for the year leading up to the wedding was truly so much fun. She’s super friendly and chill, but SO on top of her game. We rested easy headed into the wedding day knowing that Christina was all over every detail and that we wouldn’t have to worry about anything except having fun and enjoying our day. Our entire wedding party couldn’t stop raving about how great she was.
Beyond Christina, everyone at Valley View is so friendly, down-to-earth, and willing to go out of their way to make your day special. Working with Cassie and Tadd and the rest of the catering/bar team was just as much of a delight as working with Christina. They both took the time to understand what we loved, what we didn’t love, the type of experience we wanted to give our guests and accommodated (or at least laughed along with) every silly idea we had. The whole team was always willing to brainstorm to make our day perfect. The day of our wedding we also were so lucky to have Dan and Oscar helping support Christina and us. Dan was so kind and made me feel like the most beautiful bride before I walked down the aisle (thanks for the hype, Dan!!)
David and Sue, the owners of Valley View, always greeted us with warm hugs and genuine conversation (plus extra visits with Molly and Dolly, the gorgeous horses). From top to bottom, everyone at Valley View will always have a special place in our hearts - and our calendars! We plan to return to Muse Cider Bar and events at Valley View any chance we get. We can’t recommend this venue strongly enough. If you’re reading this, CHOOSE VALLEY VIEW!

It’s hard to put into words just how perfect our wedding day was — and how much of that we owe to this incredible venue and team. The venue itself is breathtaking. One of the thing...
s that drew us in was its natural beauty and New England charm — we barely needed to decorate because it already had so much character and warmth. Our guests were stunned by how gorgeous it was, inside and out. It was the place I knew I needed for the fall wedding I wanted.
Our wedding planner, Dan, deserves the highest praise. He’s beyond talented at what he does — organized, thoughtful, communicative, and just an overall wonderful person to be around. By the time our wedding day arrived, he felt like a friend. I could laugh with him, rely on him completely, and trust that everything was being handled with care and perfection.
One of the biggest reasons we chose this venue was the food. I have celiac disease, and it was important to me to have a completely gluten-free wedding for my safety and peace of mind. From our very first meeting, I could tell how knowledgeable and attentive the team was. They understood my needs intimately, took every precaution, and made me feel safe and reassured throughout the entire process. And the food? Absolutely amazing. Our guests raved about it, and the late-night mac and cheese truck made my 10 p.m. bridal self VERY happy.
Every single person we worked with — from the bar staff to the catering team — was kind, professional, and genuinely happy to be there celebrating with us. You could feel the heart behind their work. We also loved how personal the experience felt; the owners took the time to get to know us, stopped by to congratulate us on our day, and even gave my dad a bottle of maple syrup from the farm as a sweet keepsake!!
The entire day was flawless — perfectly planned, beautifully executed, and filled with so much love. We can’t thank this team enough for giving us the absolute best day of our lives, and the pups and us can’t wait to come back and visit in the future!

We had our dream wedding at Valley View Farm this past May, and we could not be happier with our decision to have VVF as our wedding venue! From start to finish, the entire VVF tea...
m made us feel like family, and they went above and beyond at every step of the wedding planning process to make everything as smooth and fun as possible. Besides the farm being absolutely gorgeous, the quality of the wedding planning services, food, and drinks at VVF is unparalleled. VVF was even able to accommodate our request for an entirely gluten free, Celiac-safe wedding, and we were blown away by how incredible all the food was! The freshly made GF bread was the best I’ve ever had by far. Our guests are STILL raving about how amazing the food and drinks were at our wedding!
What really makes VVF stand apart from other wedding venues, though, is the people that work there. The owners Suzy and David were extremely welcoming and actually spent time with us while we were at the farm. I could write a novel about how much we loved working with our wedding planner Dan, who is truly phenomenal and a big reason why we choose VVF as our wedding venue. In brief, Dan wasn’t intimidated by my 150 questions (I wish I was exaggerating!) during our initial venue tour, provided excellent guidance on vendor selection, flawlessly handled any special requests from our guests, thought of solutions to problems before they occurred, and was there for us for whatever we needed throughout the wedding planning process and during our wedding. We felt confident booking VVF as our wedding venue because Dan had the skills and expertise to handle any problem that may have come up during our wedding. Dan ended up being a total lifesaver when our wedding photographer gave birth immediately before our wedding and there was a sudden and intense thunderstorm right before our ceremony! Dan knew exactly what to do and he made sure our precious wedding moments were photographed beautifully and he kept me dry and happy throughout the weather changes during our wedding. Dan was there for whatever we (or our family and friends) needed, and we can’t imagine our wedding without him. He carried my wedding gown train, reminded me when to refresh my lipstick, gave me sips of iced coffee or a cocktail in between photos whenever possible, and perfectly arranged and broke down all of our precious wedding decor. We are eternally thankful for everything Dan did to help make our wedding perfect.
Picking VVF as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we cannot recommend it highly enough! It was worth every penny. You won’t regret having your wedding at VVF!!

Trust me when I say, you should have your wedding here!
There are truly not enough words to describe just how amazing this venue and team are. From the moment we stepped foot on th...
e farm for our tour, every single person we interacted with was warm, welcoming and kind. The decision to have our wedding here was truly a no-brainer.
We were paired with our wedding planner, Dan LaFlamme, who is truly one of the most incredible people we have had the absolute pleasure of knowing. We worked with Dan for nearly 3 years as I completed by professional degree and by the end of this process, Dan felt like family. He took care of every question, every detail, anything you can think of. The entire day was flawless, thanks to the entire staff, but especially Dan. He ensured everyone was in the right place at the right time, that my husband and I and our parents were never without a drink, and even had my lip gloss ready for every photo opportunity. He did all of this seemingly without breaking a sweat, maintaining a calm presence. Our friends and family are still talking about how much they loved him! He is one of the funniest, kind and most professional people we have met and we are so happy that we had the opportunity to work with and befriend him.
The rest of the staff are also such a joy to work with! Zofia and Cassie were kind and offered the most amazing catering options, curating a menu that embodied everything we wanted. I have celiac disease, and they were able to create a delicious menu that I could safely enjoy. Thaddeus and the rest of the bar staff created the most amazing signature drinks and such a welcoming atmosphere at the bar. Oscar and Shannon were amazing the day of, helping with all the moving pieces. And of course, Suzy and David, the owners, who are so welcoming and always took the time to chat with us. You leave feeling like you have gained an entire family!
We cannot say enough great things to emphasize just how amazing our wedding here was. After 3 years of planning and anticipating this day, it was truly the best day of our lives. We wish we could live the day over and over again, and our friends and family agree. Getting married here is the best decision you could make!

There are no words to describe how amazing Valley View Farm was for my daughter and son-in-laws wedding on October 3. Not only is this place absolutely picturesque, it has every am...
enity you could possibly want or need. The staff is incredible. I don’t think I opened a door the entire time nor did anyone wait in line for the bars, rest rooms, etc. I particularly loved that they not only had a fire pit outside, they provided cozy blankets for anyone that wanted to sit outside at night. They really know how to put a wedding together. I would be amiss if I did not point out Christina, the wedding planner. She was an absolute love. She had everyone doing exactly what they needed to do without a blink of an eye. I have been calling her the tissue guru. She somehow, without me saying a word, knew that I needed a tissue at moments during the wedding and all of a sudden there she was discretely passing me a tissue over my shoulder. It is things like this that add that extra care that this venue provides. If you are considering this venue, you would be crazy not to go with it.

Our September 14th, 2024 wedding at Valley View Farm truly felt like coming home. From the very beginning, everything was seamlessly organized and consolidated at the venue, which ...
made the planning process feel easy and stress-free. The location itself is secluded and intimate, and the entire team is genuinely invested in creating an experience that feels like family.
Working with Dan LaFlamme was one of the highlights of our wedding journey. He approached us as more than clients—he felt like a true friend. Dan gave honest, constructive feedback, supported both of us equally, and made it a priority to really get to know who we were as a couple. Countless guests commented on how impressed they were with him—many noting they never saw him sit down once! He ran the entire day flawlessly, ensuring that every single detail was handled without us ever needing to worry. From planning the perfect first looks to making sure our grandparents could get around easily on golf carts, Dan thought of everything and made sure all our loved ones felt included and cared for.
Thaddeus Goff created an incredible bar program for our wedding. The tasting was one of the most fun parts of planning—we even got to bring our Maid of Honor along. Together, we landed on our perfect signature drinks (a Painkiller and a Watermelon Margarita) that felt personal and fresh. Guests raved about them, and we loved how professional yet creative he was in helping us choose something that reflected us.
Suzy Fortgang, the owner, was warm, welcoming, and present throughout the process. Having owners so involved and hands-on made it feel even more special, like we were part of a close-knit family.
And then there was the food—Bekah Simeone was incredible. I’ll never forget chatting through the menu with her over the phone while sitting in our garage, and how her attention to detail and excitement made us feel. Our tasting dinner with past and future Valley View couples was such a memorable experience, and the menu we built together was something our guests are still talking about. The food was outstanding, and as people who love bringing others together over a great meal, it meant the world to us to have it be so personal.
The wedding day itself is something we will truly cherish forever. People always say your wedding will be the best day of your life, and while that phrase can sound cliché, it was absolutely true for us. Our guests told us repeatedly it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and we couldn’t agree more. The gorgeous weather let us enjoy the firepits outside, and the addition of a food truck made the whole celebration feel so unique and memorable.
We cannot recommend Valley View Farm enough. If you’re considering getting married here, lean into their expertise—especially with Dan. His knowledge and care lifted so much of the mental load off our shoulders and allowed us to truly enjoy every part of the process. Thanks to this incredible team, we didn’t just have a wedding—we had an experience that reflected us completely and one we’ll treasure for a lifetime.

The wedding of our dreams!
We truly had the most incredible experience at Valley View Farm — it’s hard to put into words just how special this place is. From start to finish, ever...
ything was seamless, beautiful, and filled with joy. We could not have asked for a more perfect day, and that is entirely thanks to the exceptional team at Valley View.
A very, VERY special shout-out goes to Dan, our amazing wedding planner, who went above and beyond in every possible way. Dan was with us every step of the way during the planning process — always calm, supportive, and thoughtful. But what truly blew us away was how he single-handedly brought our wedding day to life. Dan handled every detail with such care and professionalism, allowing us to actually relax, be present, and fully enjoy the day. It was truly a dream come true, and we know for certain it wouldn’t have been the same without him.
The catering team and bar staff were also phenomenal. We had so many guests tell us that it was the best wedding meal they’ve ever had. The food, the drinks, the cocktail hour… everything was top-notch and beautifully executed.
The venue itself is breathtaking, but what really sets Valley View Farm apart is the warmth and heart behind it. The owners, staff, and entire team make you feel genuinely welcome — like you’re celebrating somewhere familiar, but with all the elegance and charm of a truly one-of-a-kind venue.
If we could do it all over again, we wouldn’t change a single thing. We are beyond grateful to Dan and the Valley View team for giving us a day we will never forget. It’s a place we will always hold close to our hearts, and we recommend it with every ounce of enthusiasm we have.

ember 2023, they did so much to make us feel special - from the consistent touch points to the tasting dinners and other events, Valley View makes you feel like family from early on in the process.
We worked with Dan as our wedding planner (through Valley View) and he was phenomenal! We felt minimal stress through the entire planning process, and we were able to truly sit back, relax, and enjoy the day of because of his attention to detail and expertise in wedding planning. Dan and his team took care of everything!
The venue is absolutely stunning and I cannot say enough good things about the food and drink - we got tons of comments from our guests about how incredible the food was. Truly some of the best wedding food and drinks you'll find!
I wish we could have a wedding at Valley View Farm every year, and I would recommend getting married there to anyone. Thank you, Valley View!

It is hard to know where to begin when writing about our wedding just last month at Valley View Farm. While the property itself is breathtakingly beautiful, it is their people who ...
shone the brightest throughout the planning process, straight through the conclusion of our wedding.
On our first visit to Valley View, we were warmly greeted by Suzy and David, who offered us samples of their farm-brewed cider and immediately made us feel like part of the Valley View family.
Being matched with Dan LaFlamme as our wedding planner was an absolute godsend. There are no words that can adequately describe just how incredible Dan was throughout the wedding planning process, especially on our wedding day. His calming presence and sense of humor brought legitimate joy and laughter to what could be an overtly stressful process. On our wedding day, he was nothing short of heroic. He juggled countless responsibilities without appearing at all stressed…all while ensuring that my husband and I (and our families) were never without a drink in hand.
We thoroughly enjoyed working with Zofia and Jake from the catering team. They created a menu that was uniquely ours and actively sought out opportunities to accommodate those with dietary restrictions and allergies. All the members of the catering team were true professionals throughout the planning process. Multiple guests commented that the food was easily the best they’ve had at a wedding, rivaling top restaurants.
Thaddeus, our beverage director, brought a fun and creative approach to crafting our signature cocktails. His experience and passion for all things bar-related truly shone throughout the planning process. Thad hosted a fantastic cocktail tasting, mixing a myriad of delicious beverages for us to try, which we really appreciated.
Oscar and Shannon were incredibly helpful on the day of the wedding, especially as morning rain brought its own set of challenges.
Overall, our wedding experience was incredible. The team created what was truly the greatest night of our lives, and we cannot recommend Valley View Farm enough.

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Valley View Farm as a wedding venue!!!! Our experience with the VVF staff was nothing short of exceptional! Awesome communication from the start and everything ...
was laid out for us in a timeline to ensure as little stress as possible throughout the planning. Our wedding planner, Christina, was there for us with ANYTHING we needed prior to our big day as well as our wedding day! (A big thank you Christina for blow drying my dress numerous times so I wouldn’t freeze! lol) Our bar manager, Thaddeus was also amazing, he helped us create the perfect signature cocktails for cocktail hour & were able to accommodate a mocktail as well! Also a big thank you to the catering team, especially Zofia & Alexandra who were very responsive and curated the best menu for our big day! Our wedding planner coordinators Oscar & Shannon were very organized and made sure to keep our timeline on schedule! Lastly, a big thank you to the owners, Suzy & David for creating a beautiful venue & allowing us to get some amazing pictures with the horses, Molly & Dolly!! We cannot wait to visit soon!!!

As a Father of the Bride I wanted my only daughter’s wedding to be done right and memorable. Well, the Valley View Farm delivered! Our search started in New Hampshire and we are ha...
ppy to say it ended in Haydenville, Mass. It was pretty apparent when we went to the tasting at Valley View Farm that the staff were super organized, had 4 generations of hosting weddings under their belts and were number 1 for a reason. The owners Suzy and Dave were present and talked with those involved in the wedding plans. They were great, down to earth people who love what they do and it shows. The wedding planner Christina was super organized and attentive to any of my daughter’s needs. Whether it was fixing her hair or blow drying her wedding gown she did it all ! The bar manager Thaddeus was easy to talk with and ran the bar like a Captain knows his ship. The Muse Cider Bar was the coolest place for the guys and guests to hang out in. It’s an old stone building with a renovated interior which had a relaxing chill vibe about it. The appetizers and entrees were excellent and all of the dishes had their own touches. The filet, chicken and vegetarian dishes all had high end quality restaurant taste to each of them along with everything being served hot which isn’t easy to do at weddings. We heard high praises from other guests at the wedding that night and they commented how nice the venue was along with the food and professional staff. The adjacent 7 bedroom farmhouse was super convenient for the wedding party. I hardly ever write reviews but people need to know that the Valley View Farm delivered on my daughters special day !

There really aren’t enough words to capture how special Valley View Farm is, not just as a wedding venue, but as a place. The moment we first arrived, we were completely taken by t...
he beauty of it all: the views, the quiet elegance of the barn, the gorgeous patio area… It’s easily the most stunning venue in the area. You think the photos are incredible? Wait until you see it in person. The space and property alone deserve a 5/5 star review. The owners, Suzy and David, knock it out of the park.
But what truly made our wedding unforgettable were the people who brought it all to life. We had the enormous privilege of working with Dan, our wedding planner, who brought warmth, humor, creativity, and a calming presence to every step of the process. He was thoughtful, very responsive, and deeply kind, and we always felt like we were in the best hands. On the day itself, Dan was a true hero and handled every little detail with total grace. So many guests told us they’ve never seen a wedding run so smoothly, and we know that’s thanks to Dan and the day-of coordinators who are so good at what they do.
The catering team deserves just as much love. Zofia, in particular, was such a grounding, joyful presence throughout the process. She brought so much care and thoughtfulness to our planning and helped us build a menu that felt like us. We had many vegetarian and vegan guests, and it was important to us that they felt fully included in the food experience (spoiler alert: they absolutely did). The food was seasonal, abundant, and delicious. Some of our guests still bring it up in conversation.
And the bar! Thaddeus is a gem. He’s so easy to work with and incredibly talented. The drinks were so good and so well crafted that multiple guests went out of their way to comment on them.
As a queer couple, we felt completely seen, supported, and celebrated by every single person at Valley View. It meant the world to feel so safe and fully and genuinely embraced throughout the entire experience. Sadly, that kind of authentic energy doesn’t exist everywhere, but it does at Valley View 100%. Every single person we interacted with, from start to finish, was incredibly kind and thoughtful.
I honestly never leave reviews, but the world needs to know how special this place is. You can stop looking for wedding venues now, because you’ve absolutely found it in Valley View!

We are so incredibly lucky to have had our wedding at Valley View Farm. From the moment we step foot on the property, we knew that this was going to be the place where we started t...
he next chapter of our life. In fact, it was the only wedding venue that we needed to tour. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. Not only that, the staff we got to work with made our big day so very special.
Our wedding planner, Dan, made our lives so incredibly easy leading up to, and on, our wedding day. It is clear that Dan loves what he does, and is the best at what he does. He always showed total kindness in his interactions with us. He also showed that he knows how to get things done! Not once in the planning process did we feel stressed because we knew Dan had everything all set. His organization and communication put us at ease and made us feel respected and heard. Without Dan, we would not have had our perfect wedding.
The bar staff and catering team were so accommodating and helpful. Cassie and Ted were absolute pleasures to work with. They provide us with a variety of options and made things a lot easier in terms of decision-making. Meetings with them were always and efficient and helpful. Their kindness and generosity were abundantly clear in the way they worked to make our day so special.
The owners of the venue, David & Suzy, always greeted with a warm smile and a hug. It is clear that they wanted us to feel comfortable at the venue, and that our wedding mattered to them. We are so thankful to have been able to interact with them and learn about the venue and surrounding area.
Valley View Farm is the perfect place to get married. From the setting to the staff, you can't draw up a better place to get married.

Our wedding was everything we hoped for and more thanks to the work of the Valley View Team! We got married NYE 2024 and it was the most special night with family and friends, and ...
the party truly never stopped. Shannon is an absolute rockstar and made all of our crazy requests come true. She was by our side for the entire planning process and made it as stress free as anyone can hope for. Thaddeus was the best mixologist - from custom cocktails, to the espresso martini tower and an amazing bar staff to keep the vibes high all night. Cassie and the catering team worked with us to create the most delicious menu that represented everything we love in a family meal together. Everyone at Valley View is incredibly kind, positive and flexible. I would recommend them and the venue to everyone! To all the staff at Valley View, we cannot thank you enough, we would come back every NYE if we could!!

If we could give Valley View Farm more than 5 stars, we absolutely would. Our wedding at Valley View Farm was a dream, and the incredible staff made sure every detail was perfectio...
n.
We loved working with Christina, our wedding planner, who also gave us our initial tour of the venue. We knew immediately when we saw the space and met the people — including David and Suzy, the owners — that we had found the perfect place for our wedding. And we enjoyed our tour so much we requested Christina be our planner! She was incredible throughout the process: attentive, warm, detail-oriented, and honest. And on the weekend of our wedding, Christina somehow kicked into another gear. Our family and friends all loved her and appreciated her guidance and direction, and she and the Valley View staff took literally everything on to make sure the day was perfect. My husband and I weren't nervous at all, didn't have to think about a single thing, and got to actually relax and enjoy every moment of our wedding. Oscar, Dakota, and the other day-of staff and coordinators who helped make this happen were such joys to have around. Their positive energy and support throughout the day were so, so meaningful to us.
The food at Valley View Farm was also a big draw for us, as having really good food at our wedding was important to both my husband and myself. We had a blast at the farm tasting dinner we attended, and working with the catering staff — especially Zofia and Alex, our catering managers, and Thaddeus, our bar manager — was so much fun and resulted in our dream menu. We wanted to make sure we had lots of options for our (many!) vegan guests, as well as have fun non-alcoholic bar options for the non-drinkers in our lives, and the team exceeded every expectation. The food and drinks were incredible.
The venue itself is so beautiful, and we got lucky with absolutely perfect fall weather for our October wedding. But Christina and the team also had excellent contingency plans in the many gorgeous spaces across the venue should the weather have been less than ideal, meaning we never worried about this! And the getting ready spaces for myself and my bridesmaids as well as my husband and his groomsmen were perfectly equipped and perfectly configured for everything we could have needed and then some.
We really and truly could not have dreamt of a better wedding than the one we were able to have at Valley View, and our friends and family still rave about the space, the food, and especially the people at the Farm. We're so grateful to feel like part of the Valley View family and are always brainstorming what other events we can celebrate there to recreate the magic of our wedding day. Much love to the Valley View team!

Our wedding at Valley View Farm this past November was an absolute dream! From the moment we first visited, we knew it was the perfect place for our special day, and it exceeded ev...
ery expectation. The setting is breathtaking, rustic yet elegant, with picturesque views that created the most incredible backdrop. Even months later, we’re still hearing about incredible the venue was.
What truly made our experience exceptional was Christina and the entire Valley View team. From the very beginning, Christina guided us through every step of the planning process, ensuring that no detail was overlooked. Whether it was months in advance or just weeks before the wedding, we always felt confident that everything was being handled with care and professionalism. On the day of, the team worked seamlessly behind the scenes, allowing us to be fully present and soak in every moment.
The in-house catering team also made the entire process effortless, helping us craft a menu that perfectly reflected our tastes. Every part of the farm to table meal blew us away—from the beautifully presented charcuterie to the delicious appetizers (highly recommend the sweet and sour meatballs!), the incredible entrées, and even the late-night grilled cheeses that were a huge hit. Every bite was perfect, and our guests could not stop raving about the food.
Their attention to detail and thoughtful touches made all the difference. From coordinating with vendors to making sure we had private moments to take it all in, they went above and beyond to make our day feel effortless and truly special.
If you’re looking for a stunning venue with an incredible team that will bring your vision to life, Valley View Farm is it. We are beyond grateful for everything they did to make our wedding unforgettable! We can’t wait to come back soon to visit again.

Our Bar Manager, Thad, was incredible and crafted the BEST drink menu ever. Our Caterer, Alex, was excellent and made sure everything was executed perfectly. The fact that they allow you to create your own menu from start to finish down to every single ingredient is something we were SO excited for and allowed us to truly have the best menu EVER! Every team member on our wedding day was absolutely phenomenal and contributed to making our day perfection.
And finally, our wedding planner, Shannon, was truly incredible and the absolute best. Shannon made our dreams come true on our wedding day.

My husband and I had the most absolutely beautiful and perfect wedding that we could have dreamed of on September 1st, 2024 - and we have Valley View Farm to thank for it all. From...
the stunning venue, to the beautiful grounds, to the wonderful owners Suzy and David, to ALL of the incredible staff and to the amazing Dan LaFlamme (our VVF wedding planner) - Valley View Farm is truly a special place.
We looked at many, many wedding venues but the moment we stepped foot at Valley View Farm we knew we finally found our place. Suzy, John and Dan were immediately so welcoming and made us feel at home.
Stephanie (our catering manager) and Thaddeus (our bar manager) were absolutely incredible - both so kind, patient and passionate about what they do. Both made sure that our vision was coming to life every step of the way. Our friends and family have not stopped raving at how it was one of the best wedding meals and drinks they have ever had.
Dan LaFlamme, our VVF wedding planner, is one in a million. We could not have asked for someone more perfect to join us during such a special period in our lives. He was there for us every single step of the way. He made us both feel calm and confident when our nerves were at their highest, and he truly let us be fully present in the day without a worry in the world.
It is completely evident how much care and passion goes into absolutely everything Valley View Farm does - from the big picture of the wedding day to every single little detail. Not only did VVF take great care of my husband and I, but they took great care of both of our families and all of our guests throughout the entire day.
We are forever grateful for finding Valley View Farm, and it becoming the place where we finally became husband and wife. We knew it was a special place - but for all of our friends and family to walk away from our day knowing that as well, means so, so much to us. Anyone looking for somewhere truly special for their wedding, look no further. Thank you, Valley View!

gined. From the moment we stepped foot on the farm, we knew this was a magical place. During our tour we immediately formed a connection with Christina, who thankfully later became our wedding planner. Words cannot begin to describe how helpful and thoughtful she was from the first day we met her. She was there with us every step of the way and made the entire wedding planning process as fun and stress free as possible. The catering staff, Bekah and Zofia, were so incredibly accommodating to all of our food wishes. My husband comes from a big Italian family so our one request was as much food as we could possibly think of and they did not disappoint. From giving us the ability to add multiple additional hor d’oeuvre options to our cocktail hour, to the implementation of a custom pasta course, they were more than willing to do it all. Our family absolutely raved about the food and has continued to remind us of how exceptional it was. The staff members were so attentive and kind to our friends and family throughout the entire wedding day, making it an experience none of us will ever forget. Our wedding day truly would not have been as amazing, and gone so incredibly smoothly, without the work of every single member of the Valley View team. From the very first day we toured the farm, to our wedding day, and all of the days in between, the Valley View staff was committed to providing us with an experience that was beyond imaginable. Each individual staff member's ability and commitment to perfect the fine details of our wedding night was an exemplary testament of Valley View Farm and how well their team operates. It is evident how much love and hard work goes into making Valley View Farm the breathtaking place that it is and we could not have imagined getting married anywhere else. We are forever grateful for this extraordinary place and can not wait to come back and visit!

I’m not even sure how to put into words how amazing our experience was with Valley View Farm. The moment I came across VVF online I could tell that it was special and visiting the ...
farm made us fall in love even more. The staff was always so helpful, friendly and communicative. Shannon is an amazing wedding planner and we truly could not have done it without her. Thaddeus was so helpful in planning all of our bar needs and the guests loved our signature drinks. Christina and Oscar were also so helpful and Suzy and David (the owners) were so sweet and friendly every time we saw them.
Our guests could not stop raving about Valley View on our wedding day and even in the weeks after the wedding. Everyone absolutely loved the food and many said it was the best wedding food they ever had. Cassie and Zofia with the catering team were amazing at bringing our food dreams to life. Our guests were obsessed with the uniqueness of the farm and the details that made it special like the horses, the beautiful barn and the family style food.
During wedding planning you are often warned that small things will go wrong and you just need to brush it off. I can truly say that nothing went wrong (or at least nothing that made it to me or my husbands awareness!) and the day really went off without a hitch. I completely attribute this to the organization, professionalism and amazing planning by the Valley View staff. I would not change a thing about our wedding and can’t wait to go back to visit in the future!

We got married in October of this year and it was truly the wedding of our dreams! Valley View Farm is beautiful. It matched our vibe perfectly with its blend of rustic charm and c...
hic elegance. The grounds are sprawling and gorgeous. It felt like a fairytale setting. We were lucky with the weather, but even if it was a downpour, it would have been the perfect day. The team at VVF are so organized, so attentive, and so talented!!!
Our planner Dan went above and beyond our expectations. We knew we were in good hands from the first meeting. And no stone was left unturned. Our parents and wedding party were also so grateful for Dan and his guidance in the leadup & day-of. He’s nothing short of a superhero!
The food was incredible, and we were so happy to provide our guests a farm-to-table meal…a nice change of pace from the standard fare guests get at most weddings. Zofia, Bekah and the rest of the catering team did an amazing job and we really enjoyed collaborating together on building the menu that reflected our favorite foods.
Our guests were also so pleased with the bar service. My husband and I had a blast choosing our signature cocktails with the bar manager Thaddeus. We had a moderate amount of guests (of not-so moderate drinkers) and no one was left wanting.
Everyone left the wedding satisfied on all fronts and we’re still hearing from guests about how it was one of (if not THE) best wedding they’ve been to— and it’s all because of VVF and their whole team.

I cannot explain how amazing it was to work with the staff at VVF. From the moment we toured the farm, we were greeted by the owners Suzy and David and ended up talking to David fo...
r close to 2 hours after our tour. After that, we knew that there was no where else we would get married. They were people who were genuine and weren't just there to take your money (which we had felt from other venues we toured). From the moment the planning process started, Christina our planner was there to answer every question and created an outline that was so detailed we barely had to do anything besides the "big stuff". It was easy to work with all the staff (bar, catering, etc) and everyone was very knowledgeable. They were responsive with any emails or texts that were sent. Fast forward to our wedding, all of our guest had told us it was the best food they have had at a wedding in a long time, as well as how beautiful and attentive the staff was. We could not have had the wedding we did without all the help of Christina and all the staff at VVF. I will forever recommend them for anyone who is looking for the same vibe of a wedding as we had. We look forward to visiting in the future!

I don’t even know how I could pack every single incredible detail of our wedding at Valley View into one review. As soon as we visited Valley View, my husband and I knew this was a...
special place. Each gorgeous area, like the Love Nest, the ceremony space, and the reception barn, had its own unique design and energy. From the beginning, the team made our wedding planning as smooth as possible, offering tons of advice and support for every single aspect. The day of our wedding, my husband and I were able to completely relax and enjoy the day, because we knew the entire Valley View team could handle everything. They were so involved in our planning that they knew exactly how to implement all our special elements. And they did! Multiple wedding guests told me the food at VVF was the best wedding food they've ever tasted! Stephanie, the head of catering, and Zofia, our day-of catering head, worked with us so closely to develop a menu that reflected my husband’s and my favorite foods and the seasonal availability. Dan, our wedding planner, was truly the most incredible person, and I’m so glad we got to meet him through Valley View. He truly made our day and went above and beyond during the entire planning process. Valley View feels like a second home now, and I’m so glad we live close enough that we’ll be able to continue returning to the site of our perfect wedding day!

munication, as well as having impressive organization for wedding day planning. They are truly professionals. Our wedding planner was Christina and we honestly could not have gotten through the chaos of wedding planning without her! She was so organized and went over every last detail of our special day to make sure that it went exactly as we planned it. And, it did! Our wedding went off without a hitch, and weeks later, I still have multiple people complimenting me on how well she managed the day, as well as the rest of the staff! Everyone has mentioned how impressed they were with Christina and how she went above and beyond for our day! Everyone also keeps raving about the waiters/waitresses/and bar staff and how nice and efficient they were. Not to mention, their food is ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! I honestly think about going to future food tasting events, simply because our experience at the first one was so amazing and the food was so good! Valley View takes wedding's to the next level. I have had multiple people tell us that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever attended, and that would not be possible without this beautiful farm location, wonderful staff catering to the event, and especially our life-saver Christina. Even behind the scenes, all the staff is amazing. Zofia and Bekah from catering accommodated our every need, especially for our vegan/gluten free friends! They met with us multiple times to make sure our menu was perfect! Oscar, who does a little bit of everything, was also absolutely amazing. Not only is he just an all-around great guy, he helped us select our perfect signature drinks during our drink tasting! He also was a helping hand on wedding day and made sure all our needs were met. The owners Sue and David definitely create an atmosphere of kindness and choose their employees carefully, because every person there is so wonderful. Sue and David themselves are very kind. I feel like the people at Valley View make you feel at home. And that is exactly the kind of warm, intimate environment we were looking for when selecting a venue. I 100% would recommend this venue to anyone I know. And we look forward to visiting in the future and going to get a few drinks at their Muse Cider Bar, where they make their own delicious cider! Thank you to everyone at VVF that made our wedding the most special day of our lives!! :)

What could have been overwhelming, especially for someone like me who isn’t a fan of planning, became one of our favorite parts of the journey.
By the end of our planning process, we were always greeted with hugs and excitement for our day from Dan and the owners. It felt like coming home. Dan became more like a friend, and I couldn’t be more grateful for everything he and the team did to make our wedding an unforgettable, perfect day. Valley View Farm will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we had the wedding of our dreams thanks to them.
Thank you, Dan, and all of Valley View Farm!

My husband and I got married at Valley View this past August. We could not have asked for a better experience. Everyone was so attentive and responsive throughout the whole 20 mont...
h process. Particularly, our wedding planner Dan kept us organized and sane. My husband and I continue to think we could not have made it through without him. We had many many planning calls with Dan and the rest of the team, who always kept us on track and made sure that we were moving forward. They also helped us understand which decisions we needed to make and what they could take care of, which was a huge relief in the planning process.
The wedding day itself was perfect. Both of the "getting-ready spaces" were excellent. The bridesmaids had a great time in the Baldwin Loft, and the groomsmen got to hang out at the Muse Cider Bar.
The venue has multiple options for the ceremony space. We chose the covered pavilion, which was beautiful.
The reception was amazing as well. The space was beautifully set up and decorated. Thad, the bar manager, and Zofia, the catering manager, were amazing to work with. We had many guests (including picky eaters and people who are not easily impressed) tell us that the food was not just the best wedding food they'd ever had, but some of the best food they'd had in a long time (especially the brisket). Thad worked with us to create delicious custom cocktails that the guests all very much enjoyed. And the outdoor firepits on the patio were a huge hit with our guests.
Having our wedding at Valley View was the best decision we made in the whole planning process. Dan, Thad, Zofia, and the owners, Suzy and David, really made us feel like part of the family.

s-free. The venue itself is breathtaking—the barn is both rustic and elegant, and the ceremony area is stunningly beautiful. It was truly the perfect setting for our wedding day.
The service at Valley View Farm is exceptional. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Dan, our planner, made everything so much easier. He was on top of every little detail and ensured that everything ran smoothly... Even going so far as to bustle my very stubborn dress with a fork… All of our guests raved about how helpful and organized he was throughout the day. Dan’s professionalism and calm demeanor relieved so much of the stress that comes with planning such a big event. We genuinely couldn’t have done it without him!
And the food—wow! Every single dish was delicious. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was, from the appetizers to the main courses. Valley View Farm truly exceeded our expectations in every way.
If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines natural beauty, impeccable service, and a fantastic team, Valley View Farm is it. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day!

What you see is what you get - and everything you see is absolutely amazing!! From the beautiful pavilion, expansive grounds, high-style love nest, fun-filled patio, adorable horse...
s, and dreamy barn for the reception, this venue truly has it all. I looked at numerous venues in the greater Boston area when searching for my wedding. This was by far the most special, romantic, personal, and high-quality option compared to others I visited. While there are mandatory catering and bar vendors, these are incredible partners and work seamlessly with the Valley View Farm team. Everything was delicious, tailored to our tastes and allergies, and served professionally. We worked with Christina as our planner, and she was extremely organized and engaged throughout our experience. She made sure we got our tasks completed and was able to recommend local vendors that we enjoyed working with. Christina made sure that our wedding had personal touches and was sensitive to our personal and family dynamics throughout planning (including meeting with parents and quickly answering questions). Up to and on the day of, she made sure we were on schedule and that everything happened to plan. She was truly a joy to work with and we could not have done this without her! Every other team member we met at Valley View was kind, attentive, and a pleasure to work with. This was the best day of my life, and there is no way that could have happened without the support from the Valley View Farm team.

From the moment we looked at Valley View Farm, we felt i...
t would be the perfect place for our daughter’s wedding. We were not disappointed at all! This was all made possible with the support of our daughter’s wedding planner – Dan. Dan went above and beyond our expectations. Our daughter and her fiancé live on the west coast and Dan supported them through the wedding planning process for over 2 years.
From the rehearsal to the actual event, the venue was truly amazing. Every space on the property is well thought out, purposeful and was comfortable for our guests to enjoy. The attention to the smallest details, we felt, distinguishes this establishment from others. The hors d'oeuvre and dinner from Wheelhouse Catering was absolutely delicious. The bar service is of a high standard and was able to support our guests’ needs. Every detail was executed flawlessly from start to finish and was recognized by the wedding party, family, and friends, making the event a success. The vendors used from Valley View’s preferred vendor list provided a consistent high level of service. Shout outs to Wheelhouse Catering, Cara Totman Photography, Until We Wed (Florist), T Warner Artists (DJ and live music) and Nadia at Nadia’s Beauty Spot (Hair and Makeup). All performed at a very high professional level and delivered above expectations.
Thank You to Suzy and David for the creation of the beautiful venue and Dan for the countless hours and support on the day of the event. Well done by all!
Thank you for providing a memorable experience for our daughter and son-in-law.
Very Truly Yours,
Mother and Father of the Bride

Every space, from the barn to the patio to the farmhouse we stayed in, to the gorgeous grounds, was so well designed and maintained.

Special shout-out to our wedding coordinator Christina, who was AMAZING to work with—both on the day, as well as the several months leading up.

what truly sets them apart is the team. Dan, our coordinator was incredible to work with in planning and anticipated every need on the day of (ones we didn't even know we had!). We only have the highest regard for Valley View.

Valley View Farm was the PERFECT venue for our fall wedding and far exceeded any expectations we had! We planned our wedding from out of state and the team at Valley View eased all...
of our fears and thought of everything. Our planner, Dan, and the rest of the amazing team, were so knowledgeable and experienced and gave us all the confidence in the world. Dan is the kind of planner who will go above and beyond to think of every last detail, make a plan B for all scenarios, and have you laughing and comfortable while you handle last minute day-of snafus. Even in an unexpected downpour on our wedding day, Dan made everything flow perfectly and no one would ever have known how much we had to pivot. We had two amazing coordinators as well who helped cover every last detail at our wedding. The bar and catering team were phenomenal and the food was AMAZING. We got so many compliments after the wedding, people still talk about it.
We truly had the best day of our lives and Valley View Farm is the reason we were able to just focus on getting married and the love we have for each other. We would recommend Valley View Farm to anyone and everyone looking for a venue!

We LOVE Valley View!! Our wedding was absolutely perfect and everyone we worked with was incredible. They handled everything flawlessly on the day of, letting my partner and I full...
y experience the moment, knowing everything would be taken care of. The last few months we have enjoyed many of our guests telling us it was their favorite wedding they have been to!
Everything leading up to the wedding was perfect too. We felt relaxed knowing we were in the hands of professionals, yet also enjoyed lots of leeway to customize everything to make it feel unique to our vision. The food, the decorations, the vibe - everything was perfect and amazing.
When it rained during our wedding, Valley View was prepared with umbrellas, and even towels to wipe off our shoes during the photoshoots. They seamlessly transitioned between the outdoor and indoor spaces as the weather changed, and we forgot to even be sad about the rain because we were having too much fun.
Also - I can't rave enough about our wedding planner, Shannon! We love Shannon! It felt like she could read our minds with how much she anticipated every need, both before and during the wedding. Best wedding planner in the world!
I just hope that some of our guests end up getting married at Valley View, because I would LOVE to go to another wedding at the best venue ever.

It’s been just shy of 5 months since our wedding (10/27/2023) at Valley View Farm in Haydenville and we’re still in awe! We could not have experienced a better day. The whole prope...
rty is absolutely beautiful, from the location being set way back in its own little world, the ceremony barn, the cocktail hour space and the reception barn. Every little detail is noticed. We still are being asked where we got married because of how amazing it was. Every guest commented on how perfect it was. Thaddeus, the bar manager, was spot on with everything, especially crafting the best cocktails. Now to talk about the real star of the show, our coordinator / planner, Dan LaFlamme! There are not enough words of praise for how above and beyond Dan goes with every little detail. Dan made our planning a breeze and our vision become a reality. He eased any wedding day worries by being way ahead of our every thought to the point we didn’t even need to ask or think twice! And he did it all while making us laugh nonstop! His hard work and dedication made our wedding a dream come true. We wouldn’t change a single thing about Valley View and our wedding. Simply the best and a day we will smile about for the rest of our lives.

Wow, we cannot say enough good things about our experience with Valley View Farm, Dan LaFlamme, Suzy and David, and every single team member we interacted with throughout our weddi...
ng planning process. We are completely blown away at how welcoming, warm, thorough, detail-oriented this team is.
From the first moment we visited Valley View for the winter farm dinner, we felt at home and well taken care of. Suzy and David really took the time to get to know us and share about how special the Farm is to each of them. It was clear from the start how much of a family and community Valley View is.
Our wedding planner, Dan, and the Valley View Farm team made our wedding planning process fun and completely authentic to us. They were always available, kind, and easy to work with. We had multiple separate calls and in-person meetings with Dan, the catering team, and bar team, that made every detail unique to us.
We also appreciated their transparency and guidance through every step of the process. Our guests loved the food, family-style dinner service, drinks, and overall experience and ambience of the Farm.
The day of our wedding, Dan and his team went above and beyond to make sure that our every need was taken care of, even needs we didn’t even know we had! We especially appreciate how Dan and his team cared for and attended to our parents, grandparents, and wedding party.
Thank you so much to the Valley View Farm team for making our wedding day even more special and memorable than we could have even imagined for ourselves. We are so happy to forever be a part of the Valley View family.
Much love, Amy and Matt (January 20, 2024)

I cannot put into words what an absolutely incredible experience we had with having our wedding at VVF. Everything about this venue is perfect. From the moment my husband and I wen...
t on our first tour, to booking, going to the complimentary farm dinners, regular check ins with the staff all the way through wedding day, I simply could not have asked for a better team and place to have my dream wedding which they made come true. If you are considering having your wedding here, you will 100% not regret it. Our wedding planner Dan is absolute SAINT of a human and you are extremely lucky if you get to work with him. He became a good friend throughout the planning process as well and I miss him dearly to this day. He thought of everything we could have needed and was so helpful at all times. Anytime I had a question he was available to respond and help me through anything I had on my mind. The customer-centric mentality that this venue has is unmatched to any other venue I have heard about or experiences I have heard through others. They truly make the entire experience a breeze so that you can actually enjoy your wedding day and the days leading up to it! Our guests could not stop raving about the ambience, the food, and all the details that made our wedding day such an incredible day. Seriously if you are considering booking this venue please do it!!

My husband, Paul, and I got married at Valley View Farm on 09/03/2023 aka BEST DAY EVER. Our wedding planner, Dan, was a true hero. From the moment we did our tour in July of 2022 ...
to the day of the wedding, he was our glue. I heard multiple times from people how relaxed I was. Brides, get yourself a Dan. He kept us on task and allowed us to be present and enjoy every moment of our day. At the end of the night, he orchestrated getting everything packed up and where it needed to be. The venue itself is GORGEOUS - the main barn with its bright natural light, dainty fairy lights and reclaimed wood was everything I was looking for. The Love Nest was probably my favorite spot, though, with all the vintage, antique touches. I walked in for that tour and within 15 minutes whispered to my Mom that we were in trouble because there were no checks in the con column of my list. Everything was very clearly explained and laid out in terms of catering and payments. They had excellent vendor suggestions for any areas where we needed something. I love that they offer tasting dinners to give couples a feel for how the wedding meal will pan out. And the food was out of this world. Stephanie & Sylvana were beyond patient planning out every little detail of our menu, noting who had allergies or restrictions. We had a smoked short rib that we still rave about. Thad was an absolute pleasure to work with for our bar planning. He even handled our slightly bizarre request to feature our ski boats on our signature cocktails sign. It was our wedding day, but we felt as though they treated the day as if it was THEIR wedding. Every detail was seen to and handled with the utmost care. If you're even a little on the fence, book yourself a tour and see for yourself what a gem this farm is. And maybe meet Molly & Dolly while you're there. Paul and I are already trying to figure out a time to go back and visit and swing by MUSE Cider bar.

Wow wow wow where do I even begin. Valley View Farm is hands down the absolute best place to get married. The attention to detail, communication and planning process is just except...
ional. My husband and I got married at VVF in August of this year. Our wedding planer, Shannon is fantastic. She paid attention to every single detail of the planning process, and nothing was forgotten. Not to mention that she is incredibly kind, and a wonderful communicator. She even bustled my dress and put in my veil on our wedding day! The planning and organization doesn't stop until the second the wedding ends. Shannon was there for every moment of our special day, and made us feel extremely comfortable. We loved how the team at Valley View Farm felt like a family. Suzy and her team make this abundantly clear by hosting delicious tasting dinners several times a year, to popping by to watch our first look. We cant recommend this venue enough!

y are still talking about it! The entire Valley View Farm team is incredible, especially our planner Shannon. Everyone there is so personable and goes above and beyond to make sure your day is special to you and as stress-free as possible. Shannon, the catering team, the bar team, and everyone in between has every single detail worked out, so my wife and I did not have to worry about anything at all on our wedding day - we were able to truly enjoy our day and take it all in. The venue itself is breathtaking. There are so many beautiful spaces both inside and outside. And the food and drinks are INCREDIBLE. Many of our guests have said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. We couldn't be more grateful to have found this true gem of place and to have met the wonderful team there. Our day was exactly what we wanted, and I know it would not have been that way had we booked any other venue. We can't wait to go back and visit!

Book it!!! You're reading this because you are deciding if you want to book Valley View for your wedding - and I am here to tell you to do it!!! The location and property are gorge...
ous and the staff are fantastic at what they do. We felt so supported to bring our ideas to reality - from helping with vendor decisions and communication, ideating on a theme and designs, to having all the details under control. Don't let the cost throw you off - that covers all the awesome things they have to offer - no upcharging along the way for normal stuff like chairs or napkins (PS the decor is already stunning so you don't have to do much). They care about sustainability and the local community, especially with the DELICIOUS food, as well. I really can't say enough about Shannon (our wedding planner, a service that comes with your booking) who helped us have the most fantastic day. I doubt it would have been half as amazing without her. Working with her, Stephanie the catering manager, Thad the bar manager, and the whole staff to plan for over a year was easy and fun - and on the wedding day we saw them in action to make everything perfect. The owners even let us invite their farm dog, Rosie, and bought one of the horses, Penny, out to the field for us to take pictures with. I could go on about how they have literally thought of everything but really all you need to know is - if you can, you MUST book with Valley View!

Valley View far exceeded our expectations. We are forever grateful to every single person who was apart of making our special day magical. Just to mention a few - Shannon, Maggie, ...
Alex, Thaddeus - and so many more that I am probably forgetting! The day of our wedding was stress and worry free because of the hard work and dedication from this amazing team. The morning after, all of our decor was packed into my car, and we didn’t have to lift a finger to clean, organize, or stress over clean up. It was the perfect venue and the perfect team. We could not recommend this beautiful venue enough.

ectations. If you like a western Mass. farm/barn feel, you will love Valley View for your wedding. We used both on-property houses for two nights, and, on the day of the wedding, we used the Baldwin Loft (women) and Muse cider bar (men) to gather and prepare for the afternoon/evening pictures, ceremony, and reception. The owner Suzy is fantastic, and so is the planner Dan who handled it all for us. Dan thought of and did everything. With such expert care and attention by such a dedicated and experienced planner, and with such fantastic owners and day-of staff, we were able to relax and enjoy the entire wedding weekend at Valley View Farm.
