~Where to begin? When we reached out to Adena Orchard & Vine, Alana told us that all we'd have to do to fall in love with it is to just take a trip and see it in person. Boy, was she right. Adena was the first venue we looked at, and we knew right away that it was everything we were looking for!

~Alana & Kevin feel like family, no joke. From the beginning, Alana was extremely communicative and transparent about costs, vendors, and even time. We have had such an amazing time communicating with her, that it's so hard to think that it's finally over. Jackiie and I knew from the get-go that we would be having a large, bohemian, non-traditional, DIY wedding, and Adena fully truly wholly delivered. From the GORGEOUS setting deep in the Catskills, to the STUNNING authentic barn that Kevin has put so much work into restoring, our wedding would not have been anywhere near as magical or perfect had Adena not hosted it.

~Alana's thoughtful and thorough list of vendors in the area was integral to us finding the perfect collaborators for our big day. The whole family was incredibly helpful and excited to get to help us iron out details and move tables around the day before (and of). Kevin had the best technical considerations and advice throughout the whole process. If you are looking for a transactional, cookie-cutter, wedding factory, hands-off venue, find it elsewhere. If you are looking for a human touch, endless enthusiasm, plentiful creativity, to feel cared for, look no further. This family feels like our family.

~Things we love in no particular order: stunning and thoughtful get ready rooms (for both me and Jackiie, it was so important that we both felt special as it was OUR day!); lovely vintage furniture in the barn and main house; idyllic views of the Catskills; how Alana just hopped in as our wedding fairy godmother (no joke, this is her name in my phone) when we didn't have a wedding planner; everyone's willingness to creative problem-solve and roll with the punches when our day-of timeline flew out the window; the bonfire at the end of the night (our guests have not stopped raving); all the little nooks and areas for folks to explore and disappear and contemplate (the willow bridge & the tree tunnel, to name a couple); ok I could keep going on and on and on, but there is nothing not to love.

~We cannot wait to get our photos back so that we can share more, but please enjoy these two magical images (courtesy of Rosey Red Photography, you HAVE to book them).

~Adena fam; there are no words to describe how important you are to us, and how wonderful it has been to work with you. A thousand thanks, and a thousand again!

We hosted both our rehearsal / welcome dinner and wedding day at AOV, and they were both wonderful. We used one barn for the welcome dinner and for the wedding day we had everything outside (with a tent). Kevin and Alana are absolutely wonderful to work with, they very generously came to our rescue after a sticky situation elsewhere and we couldn't have been happier. After our tented reception, we headed to the bonfire (also on the property) and our guests loved it, it was a fun way to provide late-night snacks. Kevin also came to my rescue during our first look and figured out how to fix my broken shoe- they're really there to support you however you need. The area is nice and remote while also having hotels nearby- we had all of our guests stay in Windham, which is very close. The property is kept well with still having the element of being natural. We would highly recommend AOV!

Words can barely describe the experience we had at Adena for our wedding.
It all started once I received a call back from Alana to set up a tour. The moment I spoke to her on the phone there was an instant connection and understanding about the experience we were looking for and I remember telling my now husband that I just felt something different about this place. Not only was she extremely professional over the phone when explaining the property but she seemed overall excited and full of love (which was very hard to come by during the venue search). When we visited the property Alana and Kevin were warm and had an entire tour prepared. As soon as we finished the tour we knew we definitely wanted our special day at Adena. They were both so accommodating and helpful during the wedding planning process and full of recommendations. The tree planting was such a treat to enjoy with our close friends and family prior to our wedding ! Our September wedding was like a DREAM. We had the most perfect day and Adena looked absolutely STUNNING. Our ceremony by the big rock really came together beautifully. All of the colors, greenery, and rustic vibe of the property was just sensational for our day. We had SO many compliments and inquires on how we even found Adena. So many guests told us that they had never been to a wedding like this and how it was truly an experience they had never had. The entire day felt so full of love and we owe that all to Alana and Kevin for creating such a venue that can make everyone feel that. They truly felt like family. We have the most amazing memories and wish we could relive the entire experience. We cannot wait to be back for our anniversary for all the years to come !
