A Dreamy Summer Wedding at Blenheim Hill Farm in the Catskills
Planning a Catskills wedding? Discover why Blenheim Hill Farm is the perfect rustic elegance venue for your special day.
Nestled in the rolling hills of the Catskill Mountains, Blenheim Hill Farm offers couples an enchanting blend of rustic charm with get-away-from-it-all vibes. We had the absolute pleasure of capturing a breathtaking wedding celebration that perfectly showcased why this venue has become one of New York's most sought-after wedding destinations.
The Perfect Catskills Wedding Venue
Located just two hours north of New York City, Blenheim Hill Farm provides an idyllic escape from urban life. The working farm features stunning mountain vistas, historic barns, and beautifully maintained gardens that create picture-perfect backdrops for every moment of your wedding day.
What Makes Blenheim Hill Farm Special
Historic Charm Meets Modern Luxury
The venue seamlessly blends 19th-century architecture with contemporary comforts. The restored barn features soaring ceilings, original wooden beams, and elegant lighting that creates an atmosphere both intimate and grand.
Breathtaking Natural Beauty
Summer at Blenheim Hill Farm is particularly magical. Lush green pastures stretch toward the mountains, while carefully curated gardens burst with seasonal blooms. The venue's elevated position offers panoramic views that photographers and guests alike find absolutely captivating.
A Summer Wedding to Remember
This particular celebration began with an intimate getting-ready session in the farmhouse's charming bridal suite. Natural light poured through vintage windows as the bride and her bridesmaids prepared surrounded by rustic wooden accents and modern amenities.
The Ceremony
The outdoor ceremony took place in the farm's signature spot – a natural amphitheater overlooking the valley. Wooden cross-back chairs arranged on the lawn created an intimate setting for 120 guests, while the Catskill Mountains provided a stunning backdrop for exchanging vows.
The couple chose locally-sourced seasonal flowers including white peonies, blush roses, and greenery that perfectly complemented the venue's natural beauty. A wooden arch adorned with flowing fabric and garden roses framed the altar, creating a focal point that felt both elegant and organically integrated into the landscape.
Reception Under the Stars
As the sun set over the mountains, guests moved to the restored barn for dinner and dancing. The venue's team had transformed the space with market lights, locally-grown centerpieces, and rustic wooden tables that maintained the farm's authentic character while providing sophisticated dining.
The farm-to-table menu featured ingredients sourced from local Catskills producers, creating a dining experience that celebrated the region's agricultural heritage. Guests enjoyed everything from locally-raised beef to seasonal vegetables grown right on the property.
