We are a family-owned and operated event barn located in upstate New York or the Hudson Valley area of New York, depending on how you look at it! We are a gorgeous newly constructed barn (built in 2019) nestled on 34 acres of beautiful farmland that features a pond. Our rolling hills, green pastures, and blue pond make our venue a beautiful setting for your big day.
The barn is one level, open floor plan, and is very light and airy. We have many windows and doors that let in tons of natural light! The barn is beautiful on its own, or it can be decorated however you please due to its versatile nature. We love seeing how it can be transformed.
Stop by and check us out! We know we will be the perfect spot for your dream wedding.

Best Hudson Valley Venue!

Can't express enough how lovely our wedding was at Locust Hill Barn! We had a last minute change of plans and had to switch our ceremony to the barn - Lauren and her family were extremely helpful and accommodating to all of our needs. They pay attention to every small detail, Lauren even made sure the wedding party was lined up correctly and the aisle runner was laid perfectly. The barn is stunning, high ceilings, a ton of natural light, and the grounds are perfectly kept. We would get married here 100 times over if we could! Loved it and the owners!

Beautiful Venue!

We are so happy that we went with Locust Hill for our wedding. The venue was absolutely beautiful, and a perfect location for people to attend either from the NYC area coming upstate, or those coming from the Albany/Hudson Valley area. The venue is easy to access, and there is no confusion as to how to get there. Lauren, the coordinator is fantastic to work with and provided helpful insight and her time to us throughout the entire process. The greenery in the summer at the barn is so beautiful, and they now have a beautiful patio that you can have your cocktail hour at. They have a prep kitchen as well that many caterers will appreciate. We loved working with them from the start and are so grateful for their involvement in our special day!

10/5/25 best day !

Locust hill barn was absolutely amazing! The venue is gorgeous, very open, tons of room for a large dance floor! It’s was a lot of fun to rearrange the barn exactly how we wanted it, and decorate to really whatever we wanted! Lauren and Brooke were amazing to work with, easy going and made sure everything was how we wanted it! They also added a beautiful outdoor patio space that was covered and guest really enjoyed being outside. They have tables and chairs which was really nice to not stress about renting and we got to set up days before to make sure everything was perfect. I highly Recommend booking this venue, you won’t regret this choice!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
