About

Nestled among tall trees and manicured gardens, Pat’s Barn provides a rustic charm and elegant environment, the perfect place to capture memorable, fond moments on your wedding day that will last a lifetime.

Pat’s Barn is a 200-year-old landmark built by Dutch settlers in the mid-18th century. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the barn was fully restored and renovated in 2009 and features the original hand-hewn beams. Pat’s Barn is open all year round.

The unique architecture and layout of the two-floor, 5,000-square-foot facility offer an open and serene atmosphere with flexible seating of up to 200 guests for your wedding reception. The Barn’s floor-to-ceiling windows provide plenty of natural daylight, which further adds to a warm and cheerful setting. We also have a bridal suite where the bride and her wedding party can get ready for the big day.

A beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony space is available for exchanging vows, and our patio provides the perfect space for you and your guests to mingle and celebrate immediately afterward with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres.

Pat’s Barn amenities for wedding events include tables and chairs, temperature-controlled venue for year-round use, and a space that’s fully wheelchair accessible, including elevator access to the second floor. The Barn also can provide podiums, microphones, and portable and stationary screens. Ample space is available for parking.

Barn guests can select from two highly rated caterers, Nicole’s Catering and Inspired Events. Their attentive staff will accommodate your needs in every way possible.

The venue is in a central location in the Capital Region and in close proximity to New York City and Boston. For three years in a row (2018, 2019 and 2020), Pat’s Barn has won the Wedding Wire Couples’ Choice Award. So, make your wedding reservations today!

We held our wedding reception at Pat's Barn earlier this month. The venue was amazing and was a perfect fit for what we were looking for. The staff, specifically Kim, was extremely helpful throughout planning process and made sure everything was taking care of prior to our reception. We would highly recommend for your event!

Beautiful venue!

GORGEOUS venue! My husband and I fell in love during our tour. I always envisioned a fall wedding and this venue elevated the vision. We had 100 guests and the tables were comfortably spread out. The hanging lights are a magical beautiful addition to the already gorgeous renovated barn
