Blenheim is a beautiful property and the perfect location for a Catskills wedding. Min and Morton are accommodating owners who made sure all of our needs were considered and facilitated. If you want to have an upscale barn wedding that is a highly memorable affair this is absolutely the venue for you! The food is amazing, the staff is on top of everything (shoutout to Rosie!), and the setting is gorgeous. We had multiple wedding events (welcome party, wedding, after party and farewell brunch) and every one was amazing!

We cannot say enough good things about this venue! Danielle (our wedding coordinator) and her team exceeded our expectations at every turn. They were intuitive - anticipating our needs often before we even asked for something - and offering suggestions on things we would not have thought of before it was too late. When we realized we had forgotten something (like batteries for the electric candles), we didn’t even have to ask. They overheard us panicking and raced to get what we needed in time for the ceremony. The event space was gorgeous and they were able to pivot when the weather turned threatening and provide our daughter with something that was even better than she had initially envisioned. There was not a single thing that we would have changed. If you are looking for a wedding venue, this all-inclusive space is more cost-effective than you might imagine because you get all your needs met at one price. If you want something more than what they offer, you can either provide it yourself or they have other low-cost add-ons, but honestly, we added very few things because what they offered was superb. They worked hand in hand with our vendors (photographer, videographer, florist, DJ) in a seamless manner, so that we didn’t have to be the go-between all the time. Weddings can be stressful, but because of Danielle and her team, our event - even with unexpected challenges - was stress-free. It was the joyous, beautiful wedding that our daughter had always dreamed of. Thank you truly doesn’t cover it!

We got married at New Park about 4 months ago, and it was absolutely magical! The scenery was breathtaking—exactly what I envisioned for my “backyard, but not a backyard” wedding. Multiple guests even said it was the favorite wedding they’d ever attended! There was plenty of space to dance, but guests also had so many other fun options like cornhole, ping pong, and relaxing by the fire. The venue is truly unique, and if I could do it all over again, I wouldn’t choose anywhere else. Huge thanks to Sara and the entire New Park team for making our day unforgettable!

My fiance' and I committed to Dutch Harvest Farm when it was nothing but a drawing on a page and acres of land covered by trees and tall grass. Many people thought we were crazy for signing a contract without seeing the finished product, but they hadn't met Laura. Laura is communicative, excited, caring and thoughtful. Our experience with her thus far has been nothing but positive, and that is difficult to say when you had to cancel your initial wedding due to COVID-19. She has helped us navigate the complex situation and continues to keep us informed even throughout the madness. Although we have not had our wedding just yet, we are ecstatic for our day at DHF and can't wait to share the venue we have seen come to fruition with as many friends and family as we can! Thank you Laura! <3

Aside from the beauty of the lake and the hotel, this place did it all for us. Any extra things we wanted for the wedding or reception just needed to be dropped off and the event coordinators took care of the rest. The coordinator we met with was great with communication through email. We really enjoyed our dinner tasting - the food was amazing! The coordinators made the day run so smoothly. The room for the cocktail hour was set up wonderfully. Table settings are included with the package and the candles looked perfect. We felt secure in knowing we could easily move the ceremony inside with any weather concerns. The landscaping/greenery is so well taken care of, it looked fantastic for our ceremony outside on the patio. The hotel staff set up, serve, and clean up - it made for a very relaxing weekend. Our hotel room was incredible also. The hotel was generous with leaving little surprises and gifts for us when we arrived to our room. It was all worth the price.
