About BLENHEIM HILL FARM

Blenheim Hill Farm is a heavenly wedding destination in the Catskills mountains in Jefferson, Albany. We grow the food and cook it for you in ​our ​own kitchen. We are an all-under-one-roof operation. You don't have to worry about outside catering, rentals, or even a planner. Our in-house team helps you every step of the way, and everything is included, even the live candles on the tables. Our historic farmhouse ​onsite ​is a gorgeously appointed sanctuary for you and your family and sleeps up to 20 guests. Another 20 guests can stay at our inn within eight minutes of the farm. With over 15 years in farm-to-table dining and destination weddings, we are committed to hosting your best day ever with extraordinary attention to detail, making it a very personal experience.

​FACILITIES & CAPACITY

The main barn is a magnificent 18th-century cathedral-like structure with hand-hewn beams and seats up to 200 guests. For a smaller under-100-guest wedding, please google our beautiful sister property, Seven Ponds Farm. Blenheim and Seven Ponds Farm are a little over 2.5 hours from NYC.

​H​ost your rehearsal/welcome dinner or brunch in our ​secondary barn or "Brewery Barn." Exchange your vows by our private lake. Welcome your guests to the cocktail hour by our produce fields, with string lighting, multiple outdoor bars and lounging areas. There's even an opportunity to take selfies with the farm's resident chickens or goats. The​ farm​ ​proprietors are designers, and the thoughtful decor provides an elegantly rustic charm everywhere you look. The area's many boutique hotels​ ​and B&Bs offer lovely accommodations for your guests.

Blenheim Hill Farm covers everything you need for your wedding; just bring your photographer and your band/DJ, and we take care of everything else. Included in the site fee:
