About this venue

Located in Vernon Center, New York, Hayloft on the Arch is an idyllic barn wedding venue. This structure, previously a family-operated dairy farm, has been hosting events for ten years but has already been featured by Harper’s Bazaar, Country Living, Elle Magazine, among others. Owners Mike and Alisha Mathalia have hosted hundreds of events, including their own wedding ceremony and reception, and one incredibly intricate triple wedding. The barn features both indoor and outdoor spaces and is highly customizable, making it perfect for intimate, vintage rustic celebrations.

Facilities and Capacity

Hayloft on the Arch’s 30 + acre site offers couples an abundance of photo opportunities, from a willow tree beside the creek to rolling green hills. There is a large area designated for parking near the site. The patio is over 4,000 square feet of potential cocktail reception space. The outdoor firepit creates a welcoming atmosphere, while the Grain Bin Bar creates a unique cocktail hour space. A small outbuilding has been converted into an intimate chapel for charming ceremonies. Couples can also say ‘I do’ on the carefully manicured grass in front of 100 of their seated loved ones, should the weather oblige. A golf cart can help transport guests from the ceremony to the barn for the reception. The renovated barn contains a get-ready room with make up stations for last-minute priming. It’s also home to a 30-foot bar to accommodate those celebratory toasts. The barn can host up to 300 guests.

Services Offered

Hayloft on the Arch is proud to offer complete event coordination, as well as event space. Mike and Alisha are available to set up your chosen decor according to your descriptions, as well as act as a point of contact for vendors. They want to make your wedding day as smooth and seamless as possible, and can also repackage any belongings for safekeeping after the celebration. Chairs and tables are available from the barn. Outside vendors are welcome, but Mike and Alisha can provide couples with a list of their preferred vendors for added convenience. A prep space is perfect for caterers who want to work on-site.

Perfect venue!!

Hayloft on the Arch was the absolute perfect wedding venue and the owner Alisha made it the easiest day for me. From the beginning of the wedding planning process Alisha sold the venue as she was easy to talk to, flexible, kind and so invested in making my wedding day everything I wanted it to be. She responds quickly with helpful answers and was so detailed in what she needed to make the day run smoothly. On the wedding day she perfectly and seamlessly organized and setup the venue to my exact vision and was so kind while doing it. Her venue is clean, well organized, and was the perfect outdoor/indoor venue and having Alisha to work with makes it run so smooth and effortlessly. I could not recommend this venue and Alisha enough, absolutely amazing!!

The Perfect Venue

Hayloft on the Arch is the most amazing venue for a wedding. Alisha, the owner, was incredible throughout the entire process. She worked closely with us to figure out exactly what we wanted. The venue itself features perfect rustic elements and a fun Grain Bin Bar outside, which added a unique touch to our celebration. You are able to bring in your own decorations to make the space your own. Every time we saw the venue, our faces lit up with joy. Additionally, Alisha was very responsive, making the planning process smooth and enjoyable.

Amazing experience at picturesque Hayloft on the Arch

The Hayloft on the Arch fit perfectly for the rustic but upscale look and feel we were going for. The location is beautiful and extremely convenient, being less than 15 minutes from the Turning Stone Casino/Hotel and all the amenities close to that property, there was no shortage of accommodations and attractions for our guests. And the proximity to exit 33 of the route 90 thruway made travel into the area easy as well.

Alisha was wonderful to meet with and talk through our plans. Her list of recommended vendors was helpful early on, and she was always happy to provide her expertise when we were unsure in our decision-making.

The coordination that happened on site the day of our wedding felt seamless. Alisha did an amazing job of taking the decorations and information we gave her about our vision for the venue inside and out and made it real with ease. When it was all over, most of the clean-up was handled for us and pick-up of our decor was a breeze the next day.

Beautiful Venue/amazing women!

On 9/4 we had our wedding at The Hayloft on The arch and it was everything we could have dreamed of. Not only is the venue BEAUTIFUL but working with Alisha was a dream. She is so organized and so helpful with everything from finding vendors to providing worksheets to help keep our day running smoothly. For the last two weeks all we have heard from our guests is how beautiful the venue was and how professional and welcoming all the staff was. I would 100% recommend this venue and Alisha to anyone looking to plan a spectacular barn wedding.

This venue is perfection

We did a pretty extensive search for our wedding venue and Hayloft was the first place we visited. Once we stepped foot inside there we knew this was where we were having our wedding. The charm and cozy feeling it gave was exactly what we wanted. Alisha is AMAZING and one of the easiest and kindest people I have ever had to deal with. She worked with us all through covid when we had to postpone. She kept us informed and was so supportive. She is just awesome and made sure every part of our day was not only perfect but was more than we could ever ask for. The venue is breathtakingly gorgeous and she takes such pride in it. When we walked in on our wedding day we truly were taken aback it was truly shocking how stunning it was. We cannot recommend her enough, she was amazing and her venue is a dream.

We have been doing weddings at the Hayloft for a couple of years now. This is such a great place to have a wedding, easy access from the thruway, but yet far enough away for a wonderful country setting wedding. You will have great views of rolling hills for a great back drop in all of your pictures.
