About this venue
Black Walnut Farm is a 34-acre historic estate in Saugerties, NY, where the Catskills meet the Hudson Valley and where weddings become full weekends of revelry. Settle in, welcome your favorite people, throw one hell of a party, and actually enjoy it all! Celebrate in our temperature-controlled 1891 barn with a four-foot disco ball, gather around the bonfire, and stay onsite in our 1747 farmhouse. 2027 Wedding Weekend Venue Fees are $13,500 off-season (Nov-April + July) and $16,500 prime season (May-June and Aug-Oct). A two-night farmhouse stay ($1,200/night) and 15% service fee apply; your welcome event has no additional site fee. Most couples plan for an overall wedding budget (including all outside vendors and services) of approximately $55,000–$100,000+. Our hospitality team is here throughout the weekend, taking care of the details so you can spend your time with your guests. We believe in great food, seriously good drinks, packed dance floors, and one more song.

Perfect Wedding Weekend at Black Walnut Farm
Just had our wedding at Black Walnut Farm in July 2026 -- it was the most joyous, happy, love filled weekend of our lives and so much of that is thanks to Sarah, Jim, our amazing coordinator Lindsey who works with the venue, Ariel, Travis, and the whole team at BWF. We had two days of events and everything went seamlessly, every detail was perfect and decorated gorgeously and with so much love and care. They paid so much attention to our vision -- even updating their late night espresso martini offering to chai espresso martinis for us! We can't imagine doing this anywhere else -- could not recommend Black Walnut Farm enough for anyone seeking a dreamy, unique wedding venue and wanting to work with an expert, compassionate, amazing team.

Forever Grateful to Black Walnut Farm
Our wedding at Black Walnut Farm was everything we dreamed of and more. From the moment we arrived until the last dance around the bonfire, every detail was absolutely perfect. The venue is breathtaking, with stunning views and a beautiful blend of rustic charm and elegance. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how gorgeous the property was and how relaxed and welcoming the atmosphere felt. What truly made our experience exceptional was the incredible team. They went above and beyond every step of the way, making sure everything ran seamlessly so we could simply enjoy our day. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made us feel completely taken care of. Our family and friends traveled from all over to celebrate with us, and Black Walnut Farm created the perfect backdrop for memories we’ll cherish forever. If you’re looking for a venue that is beautiful, organized, and filled with people who genuinely care about making your wedding unforgettable, we cannot recommend Black Walnut Farm enough. Thank you for giving us the most magical day of our lives. We will forever be grateful.

They have gave us our dream wedding, seriously.
We're not honestly sure where to begin with how over-the-moon ecstatic and thrilled we were to have our wedding at Black Walnut Farm. Let us start by saying that Jim & Sarah are the most amazing venue managers/people you will ever meet. Anything we needed help with, any questions we had, any concerns we wanted addressed, they handled them quickly and respectfully. Our original venue lost their permits and canceled on us 4 months before our wedding. To say we were stressed is an understatement. Somehow, through some magic of the universe, we found BWF. It was even better than our original place, and had everything we wanted. We found out they were brand new and didn't exist yet when we were looking. So, it was truly a blessing in disguise. Both Sarah & Jim jumped to help us gather our thoughts, our stresses and our ideas to bring our dream day back to life. Black Walnut Farm is an absolutely gorgeous wedding venue (especially if you're looking for a fall wedding, as we did). Our dream wedding was always "vintage fairytale" and it provided that vibe to a T, with versatility for other themes as well. From the rustic cottage (that turned out to basically be our dream home); to the barn itself with its farm-style picnic tables and mismatched chairs (a dream of the bride's); to the grounds - everything is meticulously cared for. All the decor is designed beautifully and artistically by the two of them with each item being picked for specific reasons. Plus, you get Miss Lily, the Pro-purr-ty Manager, as an honorary wedding guest, so that was an excellent plus. Seriously though, if you're looking for a wedding venue in the area and you want a place where the managers are willing to go above and beyond and ensure your perfect day is exactly that; we honestly believe that you can not find a better option than Black Walnut Farm. All of our guests can't stop raving about how perfect it was and how beautiful everything turned out to be. We can't wait to come back and visit for an anniversary down the road so that we can relive the most perfect day in our relationship thanks to Jim & Sarah and their attention to detail. We could write a novel on our love and appreciation for BWF. We joke that they are our fairy godparents but they are so much more than that. They are magic-makers, loving friends, and truly own something special. Do NOT hesitate on Black Walnut Farm.

Black Walnut Farm is Magical
“How did you FIND this place?!” We heard this from our guests all night long. It felt like we’d discovered a secret garden, and everyone was desperate to know the story behind it. We got married at Black Walnut Farm in the fall of 2024. It was the first venue we visited, and we knew it was "the one" the moment we stepped out of the car—even before seeing the full extent of the work that has since gone into it. Owners Sarah and Jim have created something truly special; you can feel the heart and soul they’ve poured into the property while beautifully maintaining its historical integrity and charm. Getting to witness the venue’s progression in the months leading up to our wedding made us appreciate the sheer passion and hard work they pour into every detail. Sarah and Jim's support made all the difference. Because of the diligence they showed throughout our planning process, we felt entirely at ease when the big day finally arrived. We knew we were in excellent hands. If you’re on the fence about the full weekend package: do it. Beyond allowing us to feel completely at home, it gave us the space to host welcome drinks on the grounds as a “sneak peek” for our guests, while keeping the ceremony site and the barn under wraps for a big reveal the next day. The day after our wedding, we had the whole place to ourselves when our loved ones left and we wandered the enchanting grounds with our dog, basking in the warmth of all the love and joy we felt. Black Walnut Farm is a unique, deeply human venue. We couldn't have picked a better place to start our lives together.

Best wedding venue ever
The most stunning, fun, and flexible wedding venue I could’ve ever imagined. Staying on the beautiful property in the most incredibly decorated historic home was an absolute highlight. The whole team at Black Walnut was extremely helpful and supportive throughout the planning process. We used Events Unlimited for rentals super close by for a tented dinner set up. Getting ready in the sunroom of the house, with gorgeous landscapes for family photos, ceremony in the woods, cocktails on the lawn, tented dinner, dancing in the barn under the 4 ft disco ball, ending with a massive bonfire … it was such an incredible experience !!! Thank you, thank you, thank you to Black Walnut!!
