The Perfect Wedding Venue

The owners/staff at STF could not have been nicer and more helpful. The grounds are obviously beautiful so we knew we’d be good to go with that, but the staff was so accommodating and went above and beyond to make our weekend the best it could be. They even offered to drive guests home late night who missed the shuttle! When I say above and beyond, I mean it. They’ve also made some beautiful renovations to the property with more to come. I’d 100% recommend this place if you want to have the most beautiful wedding possible.

The staff at Stone Tavern Farm were nothing short of amazing. They helped make our wedding be exactly what we wanted. John and Colin are the best. The place is beautiful and every one of my guests told me that it was the most beautiful and fun wedding they've been to.

I cannot say enough positive things about this venue and the entire Stone Tavern Farm. Finding a venue that could accommodate our 2 day Pakistani/Jamaican fusion wedding extravaganza was not easy! When we found STF and visited the farm, we knew it was it. From my groom coming in on a white horse (traditional South Asian entrance), to the party going until the wee hours of the morning, to having fireworks and a whiskey/cigar bar, to the gorgeous backdrop and scenery - it really could not have been more perfect. If you are looking for a very unique venue that has a ton of flexibility that people will remember forever, and that will be more like a family and friends reunion rather than like every other wedding and venue - Stone Tavern is your place! Please note that while you get the venue for the entire week/weekend and price is very fair, you have to cover everything else besides the space yourself - including caterers, florists, all design/decor items including linens, plates, glasses, musicians/DJ, etc. So this is a very DIY venue, just make sure you bake that into your budget!

From the beginning, my fiance and I knew we were in the best of hands with John at Stone Tavern Farm. His experience, flexibility, and the quality he offered made our wedding weekend exactly the vision we had. The venue itself is stunning - our guests kept exclaiming about how gorgeous the land and grounds are, and were awed by the barn and vistas over the pond. My fiance and I both found Stone Tavern Farm separately on Google and we each messaged the other to tell the other about it; we knew immediately that it was the venue of our dreams. It is one of the few venues that can accommodate 200+ guests, and it is the best price you can get for the complete package: REAL bathrooms (a true rarity in upstate NY), gorgeous banquet tables and chairs, endless parking and staff with golf carts to assist our guests, an absolutely stunning barn that stands on its own - you may not want to add any decorations, as it becomes a wonderland of lights at night - and amazing flexibility about dates and time, which allowed us to spend the week before the wedding building the mandap (ceremonial stage) and decorating together as a family. We dances into the wee hours of the morning, with no time or sound restrictions. Believe me when I say it's not easy to find a place that includes so much in its package, and ends up costing less than a more bare-bones venue where you have to rent the bathroom trailers/tables/chairs/etc. Basically, the value of FREEDOM and FLEXIBILITY to create a wedding that matches you and your family is exactly what Stone Tavern and John provide. We loved working with John - he was always available to take our calls and had a plan for every element of the wedding. He loves weddings and has handled so many different kinds over the years, he gave us peace of mind that no matter what unforeseen element appeared, he would handle it. When many of the houses we had originally rented became unavailable, he found solutions too. We'd hire him again in a heartbeat.

You will not find a more beautiful venue to get married at! John and his staff will work with you every request and are very flexible to last minute changes. It poured on my wedding day and last minute John and Heather made the wedding so AMAZINGLY beautiful you did not even notice the rain. It is a great place if you want to be relaxed and not stress about time and timelines. We went up for our wedding Wednesday and we got to decorate and relax till the big day so that nothing was rushed. It is a great venue if you have a big family and want everyone to hang out days before and after the wedding.

Stone Tavern Farm was the perfect place to get married in the Catskills. My wife and I wanted several things:

-a large space that would hold 250 or more people
-a place with no curfew
-a place that allowed camping
-a place that had a beautiful site for an outdoor ceremony
-a place that gave us their space for the whole weekend so we could have our friday night and sunday morning activities there

Stone Tavern Farm checked all of the boxes. The barn itself is beautiful, and John the owner is fantastic. We partied until 3 AM, had an amazing time, and loved every moment of it. There is no more beautiful setting, and it is just such a fun place to be. All of our friends loved it. I highly recommend John and Stone Tavern Farm!

We had been going Stone Tavern Farm for ATV rides and horse riding or other activites with friends for three years in a row and then we realized they do wesdings. We knew this was our spot when we were ready. And two years later, this is the place where I had wedding of my dreams! And it could not have been possible without John and his amazing team. It was a weekend affair and I never knew it would be so amazing to live those childhood days with family and friends together for an entire weekend. There was bad weather and that hardly even mattered. With beautiful mountains,the pond, the deck and the barn; we were already at a place where every single frame was just out of a movie. Our overseas friends think out photos are photoshopped because the location is just so unbelievably beautiful!
