Awarded Best of Zola
From our first visit to Blenheim Hill Farm, we knew we'd found the perfect venue for our wedding. The staff kept us informed every step of the way and was genuinely supportive throughout the entire planning process. On our wedding day, they went above and beyond to execute every detail with precision, and honestly, our guests couldn't stop raving about how well everything ran and how it was the best food and drinks they’ve ever had at a wedding. We ended up using their rain plan, which gave us total peace of mind knowing we had a solid backup.

When we started planning our wedding, we knew that we wanted our guests to truly experience the simple beauty of the Hudson Valley. That is what led us to the Abeel House. Our entire day was magical. I walked down the aisle on a little pebble path, surrounded on both sides by wildflowers. Our wedding guests were seated on hay bales in the prairie, the sun on their backs and the stream behind them. After our ceremony, we celebrated in the restored barn behind the historic Dutch stone house. We split the barn into three sections — one to seat our guests for dinner, one for the dance floor, drinks, and dessert tables, and one for the local bluegrass band we hired. As evening came, we turned on the twinkle lights in the barn and danced the night away. You could see the stars through the open windows.
