“I feel so blessed and grateful to have found Brookledge for my wedding day. Helen, Brooke, and the rest of the Brookledge team are simply the best. We chose Brookledge after a FaceTime call with Helen. We live 5 hours away and wanted to make a decision. After speaking with Helen, we just knew that this was the place. We were so supposed through the planning stage. They recommended excellent vendors. Our guests loved the food! We chose the wedding weekend option where you could stay Friday to Sunday and had friends and family members stay on the property as well. My husband and I decided to add on Thursday night, and I would definitely recommend if you are traveling to Brookledge! Being the space early was so helpful. Brookledge really is a gem and if you have the opportunity to get married there, do it! You won’t regret it.”

“My husband and I got married at Juniper Springs Wedding Barn on September 28, 2025. Matt helped us along every step of the way and was so easy to work with. He always responded right away and was happy to give advice and recommendations when we asked. His day of coordinator Rachel was incredible and made us feel so well taken care of. She was there anytime we needed anything and helped the timeline run exactly to plan. The grounds are beautifully taken care of and the barn is so stunning it speaks for itself. I hardly needed any decor to make it feel magical. The ceremony site near the pond was the perfect backdrop. Our guests had a wonderful time by the fire pit and we danced the night away in the barn. Cleanup at the end of the night was arranged and my husband and I didn’t have to worry about a thing! We would highly recommend this venue!!”

“From the first visit to the last glass of wine, this winery didn’t just host our wedding - they carried it. We toured five venues. This was the only one that made us feel calm. There was no chaos, no up-selling, no guessing. They asked smart questions early, they handled details we didn’t even know to worry about so we didn't have to. They treated our wedding like it mattered to them personally. It was like I had a wedding planner in the family. The setting was just so beautiful. Our guests were so delighted by all the unique touches they included. I especially loved how they checked in with us leading up to our wedding day. On the day of the wedding, everything just worked. They handled the whole timeline so we didn't have to worry about it and we were able to actually enjoy our wedding instead of managing it. I think we had the most fun out of anyone at our wedding. There was no-stress and no-drama. If you want a wedding that feels elevated, personal, and completely taken care of this is it. Worth every penny and then some. We didn't want to leave. We love getting to go back to visit this special place whenever we want to relive a little magic from our favorite day.”

Summit, NY
  • Up to 100 guests

  • Starts at $14,000

Twelve Ponds is a 105 acre private estate wedding venue in the Catskills, where ponds, wildflower meadows, a restored farmhouse, a barn, and a stone arch look out over open hills. We host one wedding at a time, and every booking is a full-weekend buyout. The property is yours Friday through Sunday, so the rehearsal dinner, the ceremony, the reception, and a slow Sunday morning by the water all happen in one place. No shared grounds, no six-hour window that rushes you through your own wedding. Couples marry in the meadow, at the pond, or at the arch depending on the season and the light. Fall brings color across the hills, and summer evenings run long and gold. Bring the caterer you love. We have a full commercial kitchen and supply all the tables, chairs, plates, glassware and cutlery for any occasion. Twelve Ponds is for couples who want a wedding weekend, not a wedding day. Send your date and guest count and we’ll tell you honestly whether we’re the right fit.

The flowers, food, and decor came together perfectly to create the atmosphere we wanted. What really impressed us was how well the space worked as a family retreat too—our relatives who arrived early felt right at home exploring the grounds. We'd absolutely recommend Twelve Ponds to any couple looking for a venue that delivers on service and value.”

“Our wedding at Seven Ponds Farm was absolutely spectacular! The farm in the summer was beautiful and lush and made for a perfect backdrop for our wedding weekend. Staying onsite was such a treat and made the weekend extra special. The farmhouse and Virginia queen were so comfortable made us feel like we were right at home while being right in the middle of all the action. The venue itself was the perfect blend of rustic charm and elegance, with a scenic ceremony spot and a cozy reception barn. We loved being able to add our own DIY aspects to make it personalized to us as a couple. The staff was so lovely and helped us complete our vision seamlessly. Our family and friends are still raving about the venues, the amazing food (mushroom risotto!), the personalization and just how perfect everything was. We couldn’t have asked for a more memorable and beautiful place to celebrate our big day. Highly recommend this farm for anyone looking for a truly special venue!”
