From start to finish, working with the team at Perona Farms for our wedding, was nothing short of a dream. Coordinating with Megan, Marley, Paula, Heather, and Tammi made our entire wedding weekend seamless and stress-free. They truly go above and beyond to ensure everything is taken care of, making you feel like family from the very beginning. We stayed in the DeBurgh House for the weekend, and from the rehearsal dinner up until we packed our bags and left at the end, everything was perfectly managed. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and made us feel like we had known them forever. It was clear that the team at Perona Farms is dedicated to making every couple’s day as special as possible. The venue and grounds were impeccably maintained. Despite having three weddings that weekend, we never saw another bride, which made us feel like we had the place all to ourselves. It was truly our day. The food was absolutely outstanding, and guests are still talking about how delicious it was almost six months later. We held our reception in the Refinery, and it was absolutely gorgeous. The space is stunning, and our team and vendors had an easy time working with Perona Farms, as they were accommodating and made setup a breeze. Without a doubt, we cannot recommend Perona Farms enough. It’s a venue that will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Our wedding was made unforgettable by the amazing team, and we couldn’t have chosen a better venue.

Nestled in the tranquil Catskill Mountains, just 90 miles from bustling NYC, lies The Outlier Inn—a serene 14-acre property. Here, amidst nature's embrace, we offer a haven from the city's hustle and bustle. Our versatile space serves as a retreat center, event venue, workshop hub, and even boasts a fiber and vegetable farm alongside a top-tier recording studio. We offer a variety of on-site accommodations which are included in our weekend Wedding Package. Whether your vision is an intimate gathering or a lavish celebration, we're dedicated to crafting your dream wedding into reality.

  • Venue feels large for events with small guest lists
  • No venue-provided food services
The Outlier Inn is truly one-of-a-kind, offering so much more than your typical wedding venue. From the start, we knew it was something special. One of our favorite aspects was being able to bring all of our loved ones together in one place for the entire weekend, creating a unique experience where our family and friends were “trapped” in the best way—celebrating and bonding without distractions. If you’re someone who loves to party under the stars, and you enjoy envisioning and creating fun, personalized spaces, this is the venue for you. The property itself is a hidden gem, full of surprises at every turn. There’s so much to explore, from the charming tiny houses scattered throughout, to the inviting homemade hot tub and peaceful sauna, to the quirky hidden thrift shop/barn. We held our ceremony in the newly added amphitheater nestled in the woods—an intimate space surrounded by towering trees, creating a perfect natural backdrop for our vows. We were lucky with beautiful September weather, and the sound of our friends laughing and exploring the grounds will forever be a cherished memory. Josh, the owner of The Outlier, truly made the entire experience unforgettable. From the moment we met him, we knew this was “our” place. He is warm, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating. During our first tour of the property, Josh even let us bottle-feed his adorable baby goat, “Frip”—a moment that will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Leading up to the wedding, Josh was always available to offer guidance and advice, and throughout the weekend, his calm presence was a steady source of reassurance. Whether he was setting up bonfires, handling speakers and microphones, or just checking in on us, Josh ensured everything ran smoothly, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in every moment of our celebration. The only downside to having our wedding at The Outlier Inn is that we almost want to keep it a secret—it’s so magical, we’d love to keep it all to ourselves! But in all honesty, The Outlier Inn is an extraordinary venue, and we can’t imagine getting married anywhere else. Thank you, Josh, for making our weekend so unforgettable!

We started the wedding planning process by starting to look at venues. Falkirk was the first venue we had toured and immediately fell in love with it. From seeing the golf course, the waterfall, the gazebo, and incredible views, it was breathtaking and we imagined ourselves getting married there immediately. We met with Andrea during our tour, and had the pleasure of getting to work with her throughout our planning process, and was absolutely incredible on the day of our wedding! She made herself available to answer our (many) questions, going over timelines, and ensuring that our vision and dreams for the day came true. They had it all, from phenomenal staff to incredible food, not to mention the stunning views. We could not have asked for better! They truly make you feel like a VIP throughout the entire wedding weekend. Andrea was an absolute gem to work with, and made sure everything we dreamed of came true. And when we got the opportunity to have fireworks during our reception?! To this day, we have friends and family still talking about the firework show. Andrea worked seamlessly with other vendors and the firework staff to make sure it was a surprise show that no one would forget. Our wedding day was a dream, and we are so glad we had it at the Falkirk Estate and Country Club. We are so incredibly happy we got the pleasure to work with them, and would recommend any couples that are starting the wedding planning process, to reach out to them.

The guest house is an absolute bonus (we invited close friends to stay next door). And the folks at Seminary Hill are a pleasure to work with, especially the property manager Bill. He was beyond helpful and extremely friendly. He helped us wrangle vendors before the wedding, he helped with setup and when any issues arose the day before, and he was just all-around a pleasure to work with.

This was the best night of my life. We chose to get married at the Rustic Ridge View Farm with Wally’s help in October and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to go. During the day, you get the magical views from the mountain side and at night you get to see the pavilion lit up with all of the lights and decorations. Truly a one of a kind experience. One of the best additions to the place is the fire pit for s’mores which Wally gladly takes care of. He’s very responsive and helps with anything you may need. If I could do it over again, I wouldn’t change a thing. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get married.
