The Orchards at Rocking Horse Farm is an elegant, rustic wedding venue in Jamesville, New York — just 10 miles away from downtown Syracuse. The scenic indoor/outdoor venue was built specifically with barn and farm weddings in mind and has been hosting weddings in the Syracuse area since 2017. With over 150 acres of picturesque landscape, The Orchards at Rocking Horse Farm has all the makings for a dream barn wedding: alpacas, apple orchards, horses, miniature donkeys, a pond, and a tree farm.

Facilities and Capacity
The Orchard’s main ceremony site is a three-story 5,200 square foot barn, complete with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and built from an authentic timber frame. The venue can accommodate up to 200 guests per event, whether it’s an elopement, an engagement party, a reception, a rehearsal dinner, or a wedding ceremony.

• Among the pine trees
  
• Between two birch trees
  
• By the pond
• In the apple orchard

The Orchards has on-site parking available for about 70 vehicles, offers shuttle services, and is wheelchair accessible. They only host one wedding per weekend, giving each couple the space they need to setup and clean up in a stress-free atmosphere.
