About

Crested Hen Farms is a working farm and wedding event venue that is located in High Falls, New York. Recently renovated, the property offers a rustic feel and an air of rich history, having been around since 1791. The pristine fields right outside of the event space will make for a stunning natural backdrop for your wedding event, which you can utilize for some memorable and artistic wedding photography sessions. The space is also just 90 minutes north of New York City, making it the perfect escape from the busy life of the bustling big city. Crested Hen Farms provides couples and guests with many fabulous amenities and space for a sophisticated wedding event.

Facilities and Capacity

The English-Dutch dairy barn has been carefully renovated, resulting in a 3,000-square-foot special event space with tall ceilings that are supported by the large hand-hewn beams that are an original feature of the space. The renovators made sure to keep many historic pieces, retaining the original charm of the building. You can utilize the barn for your event, as well as the outdoor 16-foot bar and terrace under the old granary. The grounds that slope down from the terrace to the banks of the Rondout Creek and the adjacent fields also make for scenic wedding photo opportunities. You will be able to host a wedding event with up to 150 guests at this venue.

A dream come true- charming, and perfect

Frank and his team at Crested Hen Farms went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was the day we dreamed of. From the minute we stepped on the property we felt a warmth and ease that immediately made us fall in love with the venue. The landscaping and flowers are stunning, lush and charming. The barn was the perfect blank canvas to create the dinner party we envisioned.We loved the rustic farmhouse tables and felt like we truly were able to make the venue our own. Any idea we had for how the party should go was heard, understood and executed. We really appreciated their expertise and professionalism- these guys know weddings! They were so acommodating in the weeks leading up to our event allowing us to check out their prop barn and assess the property with a ton of flexibility. Our guests were so impressed with how seamlessly the event went, in large part due to the CHF staff. Not to mention how dreamy the vibe was. We are so so glad we chose to get married at Crested Hen Farms and couldn't recommend them more to anyone looking for a beautiful barn venue in the Hudson Valley.

Crested Hen feels like home

Frank and the team at Crested Hen were an absolute pleasure to work with. The wedding was gorgeous even with it pouring rain on our day. It truly is such a dreamy spot with all the wild flowers and the old barn, and there is a very sweet progression from ceremony to cocktail hour to dinner and reception.

Frank and his team were so flexible with our crazy ideas, and made it all work for us!

A wonderful place for a wedding

My daughter was married on July 1 at Crested Hen Farms in High Falls, N..Y, in a beautiful refurbished barn surrounded by acres of lawn filled with benches, chairs and comfy tables where guests could gather and look out at a gorgeous stream. All this amid vast fields. It was amazing how Frank Macagnone and his staff, including a venue manager, a bar manager, an assistant manager and others -- a team of of valets among them -- transformed the enormous interior into a beautiful space filled with enough tables to seat 160 guests for a sit-down dinner cooked on premises and served by our caterers. And yet there was still enough room for a DJ's booth at one corner next to a dance floor that got plenty of use after the dinner and toasts. (There was also an outdoor bar sheltered by an overhang.) Despite what had seemed a certain forecast for rain, necessitating a tent to be put up outside, with seating provided for all the guests, the weather cooperated and my daughter and son-in-law had a picture-perfect outdoor ceremony. It couldn't have gone better! I must emphasize what a terrific person Frank is -- so friendly and accommodating, way above and beyond! From the very start, six months earlier, he was able to reassure us that all would work out. And it did! I feel like we've made a friend, and I hope to keep in touch with him. I can't recommend Crested Hen Farms enough. Sincerely, Mitch Vinicor
