One of a kind

Handsome Hollow is truly one of a kind. From the farmhouse, to the barn, to the fern forrest, to all of the romantic nooks in between, this property is absolutely stunning. On top of the beautiful property, Kate and Huck were a dream to work with. They are organized, thoughtful, attentive and worked so seamlessly with all of vendors to make our weekend amazing. There is no venue out there as special as Handsome Hollow!!

Absolutely Amazing

Having our wedding at Handsome Hollow was an absolute dream. Kate and her team are professional, thorough, and beyond helpful before and on the day of the wedding. The location and grounds are stunning! We chose to have our ceremony in the fern forest a little ways up from the barn - it's like walking into a fairytale. The barn is a beautiful reception space that's open, inviting, and even more magical after sunset under the glowing string lights! We had a few guests including a couple of our family members who required assistance walking at certain times, but that was not a problem at all... The team communicates like special special forces to make sure everyone is comfortable and anyone requiring assistance gets shuttled swiftly by an off road buggy wherever they need to go! We also got shuttled as Bride & Groom does have it's privelages :) It was such a relief to know everyone was taken care of. Staying in the guest house was fantastic. The morning of the wedding I got ready upstairs in the barn loft, while my wife had the farmhouse the with hair/makeup and all of that. It's such a cute house, and was so nice to not have any traveling before our big day. Everything you would need is stocked at the farmhouse and help always seemed readily available if needed. It was just the relaxed easy going atmosphere we needed to chill out as much as possible before the wedding. There are so many great nooks and places for photo ops at Handsome Hollow! For a summer day it wasn't too hot at all, maybe the elevation helps a bit with that! It was warm before the ceremony when we took some photos in the sun, but we just cooled down in the farmhouse afterwards. The ceremony in the fern garden was under cover of trees so it was perfectly cool (both temperature and vibes!) The barn just seems to stay cool also, so that was no issue at all.
We didn't get a chance to eat our desserts, so the team brought them up to the farmhouse for us to enjoy after the wedding was over. It's that level of hospitality, and so appreciated. My only regret is that I couldn't split myself into two people so I could not only get married, but also see the food buffet, see the s'mores by the campfire, watch our first dance (we nailed it!!). Luckily we had a phenomenal wedding planner (Lauren / Wild Blooms Bridal), and phenomenal photographer (Joshua Brown) to compliment the venue! It was truly an amazing day, and we can't thank you enough. You cannot go wrong with Handsome Hollow!!!

The most amazing experience at Handsome Hollow

I can not rave about this venue enough! My husband and I saw 11 venues upstate in our search for something that was outside of Brooklyn/NYC. We saw many venues that were gorgeous but did not feel like the personal touch would be there. We wanted something original and felt professional and buttoned up while remaining approachable and FUN. This is exactly who Kate and Huck are and exactly what this venue is. Kate and Huck manage this venue with professionalism and grace. They make your day so easy and so lovely and nothing is overlooked. The venue itself is an absolute stunner. There are so many places for guests to relax and chat. I loved that guests would go outside and have a drink or be inside on the dance floor. It all felt seamless and very open. All of our family and friends can not believe how beautiful and lovely the day was. It was truly a dream.
