Beautiful Venue and Beautiful People!

Bluebird Farms is a beautiful wedding and event venue with incredible scenery for photos. The barn and house are both very well put together, perfect for a weekend of wedding festivities. We had our wedding there this past month and could not have been any more happy with how the entire weekend turned out.

Mike and Maureen are very professional in their business conduct and communication and incredibly supportive. They are incredibly responsive, patient with any and all sorts of questions, and worked to ensure our day was executed flawlessly.

They worked with our vendors to ensure small details like who was bringing tables for catering were automatically taken care of, and provided guidance on the big-picture details such as vendor options for florist, bartending, photography, etc. They even provided their local honey for us to use as the favors, which was a huge hit with our guests.

Those of our bridal party that stayed at the farmhouse over the weekend had only positive things to say about their rooms. Our guests could not stop talking about the barn and scenery.

We are incredibly happy to have found and chosen Bluebird Farms as the venue for our wedding. We loved working with Mike and Maureen; they made us feel like we were "home" and truly a part of the family having a wedding on their property. Thank you Mike & Maureen and Bluebird Farms for making our wedding dreams come true!

Absolutely amazing venue

Bluebird Farm was such a unique and wonderful place to get married. It’s in a beautiful, rural location with lots of fields, forests, wildlife, a pond and stream nearby, and a spectacular view of the Catskill Mountains. The barn was beautiful and historic, and it comfortably fit our 100 guests. We especially loved being able to rent the venue for the whole weekend and stay onsite! We hosted a welcome picnic the night before our wedding and a drop-in breakfast the morning after. Between the barn, the outdoor areas, and the farmhouse, the venue provided plenty of gathering spaces so that each event felt like a unique experience. The farmhouse was comfortable and clean, perfect for resting between gatherings. Finally, the family who owns and operates Bluebird Farm was an absolute delight to work with. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and were on site to help with anything we needed throughout the weekend. When the weather forecast started calling for rain on our wedding day, they quickly connected us with a great local tent company to rent from. They helped make our wedding meaningful and memorable. We’d highly recommend Bluebird Farm Weddings!

Wedding review

Bluebird farm was the perfect place for our wedding. From the moment we started working with them we knew we had made the right decision. They were all very helpful, knowledge and made us feel like family. Bluebird farms provides a special experience you cannot get anywhere else. The views are amazing and the hospitality is spectacular. We also rented the farmhouse across the street which was perfect for guests as well. This place is a hidden gem that many others need to know about. We would highly recommend bluebird farms for weddings or other special occasions. :)

Incredible Venue - Hidden Gem!

From the moment we stepped foot onto Bluebird Farm, we knew it was the place we would get married. We instantly fell in love with the barn and the spectacular views it had to offer. Mike and Maureen were the most accommodating, helpful, sincere, genuine and down to earth people to work with. They truly wanted to make our vision and dream come to life. They repeatedly made themselves available to visit the barn with our vendors (catering, bar, photographer, DJ) so they could see the layout of the space. They were always so responsive if we had any questions or concerns.

The barn itself is so spacious, and provides so much natural light, creating a gorgeous backdrop for photos. While our wedding was in June, it was the coldest day (58 degrees), and without hesitation they brought out heaters to make our guests comfortable on the outside patio space during cocktail hour. Our day of count ended up being 138, and it comfortably fit everyone in the older part of the barn along with the bar setup. Having access to the house right across the street was so convenient for my husband and the groomsmen to get ready, and it was a great place to keep me hidden until the start of the ceremony.

Mike and Maureen went above and beyond to make our wedding the most incredible and unforgettable day. You will not find a better family to do business with. They are committed and determined to providing a space and service that you can transform into the wedding of your dreams. While a barn wedding can be a lot of work, they helped make the process smooth and so enjoyable. I cannot thank Mike and Maureen enough for everything they did for us - you guys are truly incredible people. Bluebird Farm will forever hold a special place in our hearts - Thank you for opening your childhood home and sharing it with us.

Memories are everlasting

I had the honor and pleasure of attending two weddings at Bluebird Farm AND being involved with the transformation from family barn to an amazing contemporary venue with the vibes of history.
The Sikule siblings remember growing up feeding animals and putting hay away in that barn. Now they continue to work hard in order to create beautiful memories for others.
The view is breathtaking, the details are outstanding, and the remembrances are everlasting.

Charming barn with beautiful mountain views!

Bluebird Farm was a fantastic place to have our wedding. We knew we wanted a venue with mountain views and Bluebird did not disappoint. The property is beautiful and offers a wide variety of backdrops for photos. We shared our first look and quiet moment down by the creek before walking down the aisle. The barn is gorgeous and has the perfect rustic charm. It's elegant yet cozy and the patio with the twinkle lights gave off the perfect warm and welcoming vibe. And the bonfire was such a nice way to wind down an evening of dancing! Everything about our day was great and the Bluebird staff was amazing to work with. They were incredible helpful and made sure our wedding day was stress-free. Bluebird is truly an amazing place!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
