We had our wedding at Rustic Ridge View Farm on 10/7/2023. It was beautiful! Wally was great to work with and obviously so informative about logistics. He worked great with all of our vendors. We chose this venue because of the beautiful views on the hill where our ceremony was supposed to be, but unfortunately, it rained. However, as everyone always says, it still always works out! We winded up having our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception under the large pavilion. It all still felt magical! We were able to get some cute photos on top of the hill when the rain was light, and during the dinner a rainbow came out so it made up for the rain! Every photo that was taken at our wedding has unique beautiful backdrops. Wally sets you up with “farm hands” (Jack; who was awesome) who we were able to hire to be there during rehearsal dinner and also to clean up after the event. Also if you want cool horse photos, ask Wally to connect you with some of the horse owners and you can rent the horse for an hour. We had Chef Anthony Mario do our catering, he was amazing and worked well with our venue too! Danielle from Hudson Valley Trendsetters was our day of coordinator and she was well informed about the venue and worked beautifully with our vendors as well. We had 190 people and everyone fit comfortably. I would suggest this venue to anyone who wants a rustic wedding vibe.

My wife and I had an amazing wedding at RRVF! Wally is so friendly and kind. We planned the wedding we dreamed of since the venue is a blank canvas. The ability to have the farm from Friday to Sunday was extremely helpful. The backdrop of the mountains under the arbor on the hilltop was stunning! Our guests raved about how cool the venue was. It was the only venue that could hold the amount of guests we planned for, reasonable priced and provide ample time for us to not feel rushed. Wally offered so many amazing vendor suggestions and was very communicative! We definitely suggest booking RRVF for your wedding!

Wedding venue of my dreams!

I came across Rustic Ridge View Farm through a google search and immediately scheduled a viewing. Upon meeting the owner Wally (during a snowstorm and still allowed us to view his property) we knew, without a moment of hesitation, that we found the perfect place to marry.

Wally is a gem of human, host, person, guide - you name it! Day of the wedding a laundry list of incidents occurred, including lipstick stains on the front of my dress seconds before walking down the aisle. Wally quickly raced home in his golf cart and returned with all sorts of products until the stains were nearly invisible. Berry stains on a white dress! To say I was left speechless is an understatement.

In addition to this, Wally was incredibly attentive to all of our needs throughout the entire weekend. From setting up on Friday, driving guests around the farm on Saturday, and providing my husband and me with tools to take everything apart on Sunday. Due to the intense heat and only my husband and I at the farm packing up, we weren't able to finish before sunset. Wally didn't have a problem with us returning on Monday to finish up and even invited us over for food, beer and to freshen up with a swim in his pool. He offered us his pool and fed us!! Wally, we adore you!!

I must also mention, that on Sunday night Wally generously offered us his Airbnb that's located on the farm, free of cost. We had left our belongings at the place we were staying so we didn't take him up on the offer but it was completely selfless and greatly appreciated.

If you haven't figured it out by now, Wally is genuinely the kindest, warmest person and I'm truly so indebted to him for his hospitality and kind demeanor towards my wedding guests. Several relatives asked who were the guys riding in the golf carts (Jack and Wally) because they were both so pleasant and eager to assist - including offering to bring me a margarita as I waited in the bathroom line!

I could go on forever but really, go find out for yourself! If you're lucky, there will be availability!

Wally, thank you so much for saving me a dance regardless of your sprained ankle! You are so sweet and I look forward to booking one of your Airbnbs in the near future! Jack, thank you for being such a huge help and pleasant to be around!

P.S. Check out the pics of the venue and Wally and me! ;)
