Valley View Farm is a luxury wedding venue, historic working farm, and cidery, nestled in the quiet hills of Haydenville, MA. It's only twelve minutes from a bustling college town with charming hotels.

We HIGHLY recommend Valley View Farm!

We had our wedding at Valley View on October 3rd and it could not have been more perfect. We first found Valley View from a post that showed up on social media, and we decided to look into them because (obviously) it looked gorgeous. From the jump, we absolutely loved the transparency from Valley View - their website not only had their calendar availability so we could see if our desired dates were available, but also their pricing so we could understand without an awkward phone call whether or not it was in-budget. We also loved that the price included a dedicated Wedding Coordinator. After our initial inquiry and a tour with Christina, we knew Valley View was the place. They responded quickly to all of our questions via email and Christina walked us through what an entire wedding day at Valley View would look like on our tour. Luckily, Christina ended up being our coordinator because SHE. WAS. AMAZING.

We loved her from day one, but getting to work with her for the year leading up to the wedding was truly so much fun. She’s super friendly and chill, but SO on top of her game. We rested easy headed into the wedding day knowing that Christina was all over every detail and that we wouldn’t have to worry about anything except having fun and enjoying our day. Our entire wedding party couldn’t stop raving about how great she was.

Beyond Christina, everyone at Valley View is so friendly, down-to-earth, and willing to go out of their way to make your day special. Working with Cassie and Tadd and the rest of the catering/bar team was just as much of a delight as working with Christina. They both took the time to understand what we loved, what we didn’t love, the type of experience we wanted to give our guests and accommodated (or at least laughed along with) every silly idea we had. The whole team was always willing to brainstorm to make our day perfect. The day of our wedding we also were so lucky to have Dan and Oscar helping support Christina and us. Dan was so kind and made me feel like the most beautiful bride before I walked down the aisle (thanks for the hype, Dan!!)

David and Sue, the owners of Valley View, always greeted us with warm hugs and genuine conversation (plus extra visits with Molly and Dolly, the gorgeous horses). From top to bottom, everyone at Valley View will always have a special place in our hearts - and our calendars! We plan to return to Muse Cider Bar and events at Valley View any chance we get. We can’t recommend this venue strongly enough. If you’re reading this, CHOOSE VALLEY VIEW!

Obsessed with our venue

It’s hard to put into words just how perfect our wedding day was — and how much of that we owe to this incredible venue and team. The venue itself is breathtaking. One of the things that drew us in was its natural beauty and New England charm — we barely needed to decorate because it already had so much character and warmth. Our guests were stunned by how gorgeous it was, inside and out. It was the place I knew I needed for the fall wedding I wanted.
Our wedding planner, Dan, deserves the highest praise. He’s beyond talented at what he does — organized, thoughtful, communicative, and just an overall wonderful person to be around. By the time our wedding day arrived, he felt like a friend. I could laugh with him, rely on him completely, and trust that everything was being handled with care and perfection.
One of the biggest reasons we chose this venue was the food. I have celiac disease, and it was important to me to have a completely gluten-free wedding for my safety and peace of mind. From our very first meeting, I could tell how knowledgeable and attentive the team was. They understood my needs intimately, took every precaution, and made me feel safe and reassured throughout the entire process. And the food? Absolutely amazing. Our guests raved about it, and the late-night mac and cheese truck made my 10 p.m. bridal self VERY happy.
Every single person we worked with — from the bar staff to the catering team — was kind, professional, and genuinely happy to be there celebrating with us. You could feel the heart behind their work. We also loved how personal the experience felt; the owners took the time to get to know us, stopped by to congratulate us on our day, and even gave my dad a bottle of maple syrup from the farm as a sweet keepsake!!
The entire day was flawless — perfectly planned, beautifully executed, and filled with so much love. We can’t thank this team enough for giving us the absolute best day of our lives, and the pups and us can’t wait to come back and visit in the future!

Have Your Dream Wedding at VVF!!

We had our dream wedding at Valley View Farm this past May, and we could not be happier with our decision to have VVF as our wedding venue! From start to finish, the entire VVF team made us feel like family, and they went above and beyond at every step of the wedding planning process to make everything as smooth and fun as possible. Besides the farm being absolutely gorgeous, the quality of the wedding planning services, food, and drinks at VVF is unparalleled. VVF was even able to accommodate our request for an entirely gluten free, Celiac-safe wedding, and we were blown away by how incredible all the food was! The freshly made GF bread was the best I’ve ever had by far. Our guests are STILL raving about how amazing the food and drinks were at our wedding!

What really makes VVF stand apart from other wedding venues, though, is the people that work there. The owners Suzy and David were extremely welcoming and actually spent time with us while we were at the farm. I could write a novel about how much we loved working with our wedding planner Dan, who is truly phenomenal and a big reason why we choose VVF as our wedding venue. In brief, Dan wasn’t intimidated by my 150 questions (I wish I was exaggerating!) during our initial venue tour, provided excellent guidance on vendor selection, flawlessly handled any special requests from our guests, thought of solutions to problems before they occurred, and was there for us for whatever we needed throughout the wedding planning process and during our wedding. We felt confident booking VVF as our wedding venue because Dan had the skills and expertise to handle any problem that may have come up during our wedding. Dan ended up being a total lifesaver when our wedding photographer gave birth immediately before our wedding and there was a sudden and intense thunderstorm right before our ceremony! Dan knew exactly what to do and he made sure our precious wedding moments were photographed beautifully and he kept me dry and happy throughout the weather changes during our wedding. Dan was there for whatever we (or our family and friends) needed, and we can’t imagine our wedding without him. He carried my wedding gown train, reminded me when to refresh my lipstick, gave me sips of iced coffee or a cocktail in between photos whenever possible, and perfectly arranged and broke down all of our precious wedding decor. We are eternally thankful for everything Dan did to help make our wedding perfect.

Picking VVF as our wedding venue was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we cannot recommend it highly enough! It was worth every penny. You won’t regret having your wedding at VVF!!

This venue was absolutely beautiful. The staff, the wedding planner (Christina), the owners have gone out of their way to ensure the perfect day for my daughter and her husband. I would highly recommend this venue for any occasion. You’re treated like gold!

The best decision we've ever made

Our September 14th, 2024 wedding at Valley View Farm truly felt like coming home. From the very beginning, everything was seamlessly organized and consolidated at the venue, which made the planning process feel easy and stress-free. The location itself is secluded and intimate, and the entire team is genuinely invested in creating an experience that feels like family.

Working with Dan LaFlamme was one of the highlights of our wedding journey. He approached us as more than clients—he felt like a true friend. Dan gave honest, constructive feedback, supported both of us equally, and made it a priority to really get to know who we were as a couple. Countless guests commented on how impressed they were with him—many noting they never saw him sit down once! He ran the entire day flawlessly, ensuring that every single detail was handled without us ever needing to worry. From planning the perfect first looks to making sure our grandparents could get around easily on golf carts, Dan thought of everything and made sure all our loved ones felt included and cared for.

Thaddeus Goff created an incredible bar program for our wedding. The tasting was one of the most fun parts of planning—we even got to bring our Maid of Honor along. Together, we landed on our perfect signature drinks (a Painkiller and a Watermelon Margarita) that felt personal and fresh. Guests raved about them, and we loved how professional yet creative he was in helping us choose something that reflected us.

Suzy Fortgang, the owner, was warm, welcoming, and present throughout the process. Having owners so involved and hands-on made it feel even more special, like we were part of a close-knit family.

And then there was the food—Bekah Simeone was incredible. I’ll never forget chatting through the menu with her over the phone while sitting in our garage, and how her attention to detail and excitement made us feel. Our tasting dinner with past and future Valley View couples was such a memorable experience, and the menu we built together was something our guests are still talking about. The food was outstanding, and as people who love bringing others together over a great meal, it meant the world to us to have it be so personal.

The wedding day itself is something we will truly cherish forever. People always say your wedding will be the best day of your life, and while that phrase can sound cliché, it was absolutely true for us. Our guests told us repeatedly it was the best wedding they had ever been to, and we couldn’t agree more. The gorgeous weather let us enjoy the firepits outside, and the addition of a food truck made the whole celebration feel so unique and memorable.

We cannot recommend Valley View Farm enough. If you’re considering getting married here, lean into their expertise—especially with Dan. His knowledge and care lifted so much of the mental load off our shoulders and allowed us to truly enjoy every part of the process. Thanks to this incredible team, we didn’t just have a wedding—we had an experience that reflected us completely and one we’ll treasure for a lifetime.

The wedding of our dreams!

We truly had the most incredible experience at Valley View Farm — it’s hard to put into words just how special this place is. From start to finish, everything was seamless, beautiful, and filled with joy. We could not have asked for a more perfect day, and that is entirely thanks to the exceptional team at Valley View.
A very, VERY special shout-out goes to Dan, our amazing wedding planner, who went above and beyond in every possible way. Dan was with us every step of the way during the planning process — always calm, supportive, and thoughtful. But what truly blew us away was how he single-handedly brought our wedding day to life. Dan handled every detail with such care and professionalism, allowing us to actually relax, be present, and fully enjoy the day. It was truly a dream come true, and we know for certain it wouldn’t have been the same without him.
The catering team and bar staff were also phenomenal. We had so many guests tell us that it was the best wedding meal they’ve ever had. The food, the drinks, the cocktail hour… everything was top-notch and beautifully executed.
The venue itself is breathtaking, but what really sets Valley View Farm apart is the warmth and heart behind it. The owners, staff, and entire team make you feel genuinely welcome — like you’re celebrating somewhere familiar, but with all the elegance and charm of a truly one-of-a-kind venue.
If we could do it all over again, we wouldn’t change a single thing. We are beyond grateful to Dan and the Valley View team for giving us a day we will never forget. It’s a place we will always hold close to our hearts, and we recommend it with every ounce of enthusiasm we have.

The best wedding venue!

I truly cannot express how special Valley View Farm is! We had our wedding on May 31st, 2025 and despite the rain, we had the BEST day! From when we first booked Valley View in November 2023, they did so much to make us feel special - from the consistent touch points to the tasting dinners and other events, Valley View makes you feel like family from early on in the process. We worked with Dan as our wedding planner (through Valley View) and he was phenomenal! We felt minimal stress through the entire planning process, and we were able to truly sit back, relax, and enjoy the day of because of his attention to detail and expertise in wedding planning. Dan and his team took care of everything! The venue is absolutely stunning and I cannot say enough good things about the food and drink - we got tons of comments from our guests about how incredible the food was. Truly some of the best wedding food and drinks you'll find! I wish we could have a wedding at Valley View Farm every year, and I would recommend getting married there to anyone. Thank you, Valley View!

The most incredible wedding venue!

It is hard to know where to begin when writing about our wedding just last month at Valley View Farm. While the property itself is breathtakingly beautiful, it is their people who shone the brightest throughout the planning process, straight through the conclusion of our wedding.

On our first visit to Valley View, we were warmly greeted by Suzy and David, who offered us samples of their farm-brewed cider and immediately made us feel like part of the Valley View family.

Being matched with Dan LaFlamme as our wedding planner was an absolute godsend. There are no words that can adequately describe just how incredible Dan was throughout the wedding planning process, especially on our wedding day. His calming presence and sense of humor brought legitimate joy and laughter to what could be an overtly stressful process. On our wedding day, he was nothing short of heroic. He juggled countless responsibilities without appearing at all stressed…all while ensuring that my husband and I (and our families) were never without a drink in hand.

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Zofia and Jake from the catering team. They created a menu that was uniquely ours and actively sought out opportunities to accommodate those with dietary restrictions and allergies. All the members of the catering team were true professionals throughout the planning process. Multiple guests commented that the food was easily the best they’ve had at a wedding, rivaling top restaurants.

Thaddeus, our beverage director, brought a fun and creative approach to crafting our signature cocktails. His experience and passion for all things bar-related truly shone throughout the planning process. Thad hosted a fantastic cocktail tasting, mixing a myriad of delicious beverages for us to try, which we really appreciated.

Oscar and Shannon were incredibly helpful on the day of the wedding, especially as morning rain brought its own set of challenges.

Overall, our wedding experience was incredible. The team created what was truly the greatest night of our lives, and we cannot recommend Valley View Farm enough.

Wish we could rate more than 5 stars!!

We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Valley View Farm as a wedding venue!!!! Our experience with the VVF staff was nothing short of exceptional! Awesome communication from the start and everything was laid out for us in a timeline to ensure as little stress as possible throughout the planning. Our iwedding planner, Christina, was there for us with ANYTHING we needed prior to our big day as well as our wedding day! (A big thank you Christina for blow drying my dress numerous times so I wouldn’t freeze! lol) Our bar manager, Thaddeus was also amazing, he helped us create the perfect signature cocktails for cocktail hour & were able to accommodate a mocktail as well! Also a big thank you to the catering team, especially Zofia & Alexandra who were very responsive and curated the best menu for our big day! Our wedding planner coordinators Oscar & Shannon were very organized and made sure to keep our timeline on schedule! Lastly, a big thank you to the owners, Suzy & David for creating a beautiful venue & allowing us to get some amazing pictures with the horses, Molly & Dolly!! We cannot wait to visit soon!!!

Top notch wedding planner

Dan LaFlamme was an outstanding wedding planner, who made our wedding absolutely magical-I would recommend him to anyone. Dan worked tirelessly to prepare for our wedding day, and for all of our family coming from Connecticut and Iowa. Dan made both the ceremony and reception work as smoothly as clockwork. Valley View Farm in November is just stunning..
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Valley View Farm is a spectacular wedding venue. The property is gorgeous; the space for the reception is elegant, in spite of the rural setting; and Sue and Dave will make sure you get just the wedding you want. I officiated at the second wedding ever held here a couple of years ago. Even then the level of service and support was outstanding. If this venue is in your budget, you should definitely use it. And the surrounding area - Northampton, Amherst, the Berkshires - offers great activities for your guests if they have a spare afternoon, come a day early, or stay a day late.
