“We recently had our wedding at The Barn at Black Walnut Farm, and it was extraordinary. From the moment we first toured the venue, we knew it was the perfect place for us. Jim and Sarah have poured so much heart and craftsmanship into restoring this historic barn, preserving its rustic charm while modernizing it in all the right places. 

The property itself is breathtaking, with thoughtfully designed spaces that make you feel completely immersed in nature. The rose garden and front yard provided great photo opportunities, not just for us but for all our guests.
 Our ceremony in the forest site was an absolute dream. The setting created a truly magical, intimate atmosphere. It was the most picturesque backdrop for such a meaningful moment, and we can’t imagine having said our vows anywhere else.
 The true gem of the property, however, is the historic house. Staying in this house was an unforgettable experience, and my family is already looking forward to returning for years to come.
 The Barn at Black Walnut Farm is more than just a venue—it’s an experience and a place where memories are made. Jim and Sarah are not just venue owners; they are passionate, thoughtful hosts who truly care about every couple’s special day. We feel so honored to have celebrated our wedding here and cannot recommend it highly enough.”

“We cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional wedding services provided by Milandou. Our wedding was held in the beautiful white church in Hudson, NY, and it was an event that we and our guests will never forget. The moment we saw the church, we knew it was the perfect location for our special day. The white exterior and classic architecture provided a stunning backdrop for our ceremony and reception. The church was immaculately maintained and provided ample space for our guests to comfortably celebrate with us. The staff were truly remarkable. They were professional, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure that everything ran smoothly. From the setup to the cleanup, they ensured that every detail was taken care of and that we were able to enjoy our day without any worries.
