Absolutely Perfect

We could not have asked for a more perfect reception. Jack is there to make sure everything goes as smooth as possible, and I quote “my job is to put out the fires, your job is to have a care free good time.”. He helped in all aspects and definitely put us at ease knowing that he had our backs. He gives great suggestions, and even helped surprise my fiancé with fireworks. Perfect venue for a perfect night.

Beautiful venue and amazing owner!

We booked this venue for our wedding on 11/27/24 and it was amazing! We had our ceremony and reception in the barn due to weather but were able to still take some photos by the pond beforehand. The barn was gorgeous with all the lighting, and we were able to move anything around we needed to in order to have it set up how we wanted. Jack(owner) was super kind and accommodating and provided advise based on his past experiences, which helped us a lot with the planning process. Not only did he help with set up, clean up, and any questions we had, he also was there to make sure things ran smoothly on the day of with helping the wedding party know when to start walking, setting out snacks/food, and lighting the fireworks for us at the end of the night. I couldn't have asked for a better host/owner and venue for our special day. Thank you Jack!

Perfect wedding venue

We cannot express how at ease Jack made us feel for our wedding! Living in CT, we were not always able to come back to NY for wedding planning/prep and he made everything so easy and stress free! He is very flexible and such a nice guy! The property alone is beautiful and very little decorating is needed! He made us feel welcome and like family for the week and weekend and honestly, anytime we came up to the farm. We are so happy we chose to have our wedding at MKJA Farm!

Absolutely amazing

I cannot put into words how amazing Jack and his Fiancé are. Jack went above and beyond from the day we looked at this venue, to my wedding day! The week/weekend leading up to the wedding, Jack opened his home to Michael and I, as well as our family to plan/get ready. Anything I needed- he made sure to get done without hesitation. We decided to have our ceremony out by his beautiful pond. Jack provided transportation for our grandparents/all guests to get up to the ceremony, as well as to get back down to the barn. We also were able to take pictures with the horses (who were my favorite). Jack gave my husband and I the opportunity to go up to the top of his property (which overlooks the entire valley) for photos. This was such a beautiful “private” moment for the two of us and the photos came out stunning! Jack truly made us feel special and made our day run perfectly. I could not have asked for a better venue or better people to work with!! Anyone looking for a barn wedding- this venue is 100% the best to choose!!

James and Kayla

There are not enough good words that can be said about Jack from MKJ Farms!! He go above and beyond for everyone there. From the moment we booked our wedding, Jack has been nothing short of amazing. He works very diligently to make sure that everyone is comfortable and to make the day go by as smooth as possible. Anything that is needed, Jack goes above and beyond to make sure that the bride and grooms day is the day of their dreams!! He even goes so far as to take the bride and groom to their designated area after the reception. If you’re considering booking at MKJ Farms, don’t consider anymore, just do it, you won’t regret it!!!

Amazing wedding venue

Our wedding here was absolutely amazing. Jack was very flexible with whatever we wanted to do that day to make our day special. After the wedding we had so many compliments on how beautiful and relaxing the wedding was. The pond where we got married at was the perfect setting. Jack opened up his house for us to all get ready in that morning, which made things so much easier. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married!

Beyond our expectations

To say MKJ farm and the owner Jack was amazing, doesnt even scratch the surface! He is so attentive and generous of his home and his property. He made me feel like family walking in his house anytime I want. I asked him so many questions leading up to the wedding and each time he eased my nerves. He made the day so perfect and he truly cares about the bride and groom having the best day they can. He made sure that everything went smoothly and even kept checking in to see how I was feeling. The venue is beyond gorgeous and most of the decorations were already there when I got there to start setting up. He had the barn staged just the way I would want it and was so willing to let us use whatever we needed. The wedding party and guests had the best time riding his "redneck limos" and he was relaxed about letting people use them as well as getting in and petting the horses. Our wedding was the most fun we have ever had at a wedding and choosing his venue was the best decision we ever made. I hope everyone that is looking into a barn wedding chooses MKJ because they wont regret it.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
