Ryan Family Farm Reviews

As a wedding photographer located in the Hudson Valley, I photograph at many venues and Ryan Family Farm is one of my absolute favorites. The barn itself is such a beautiful and unique space to have your reception and cocktail hour. It is air conditioned, handicap accessible and has such a warm feel the moment you walk in. Ryan Family Farm is one of the few venues that offers everything on site, both partners can get ready on site, beautiful ceremony space (with farm animals!), and the perfect reception space while also having the most beautiful grounds that provide the perfect backdrop for all your wedding photos. Ryan Family Farm is absolutely gorgeous while also having the most helpful, caring and kind staff that will make sure to bring your wedding day vision to life. I highly recommend!

We absolutely love working with the team at Ryan Family Farm! They are truly authentic with integrity and passion to ensure each event there is executed to perfection. Their professionalism and approachable quality is a joy to work with. The venue itself has a beautifully rustic, intimate and timeless appeal. One of our favorite venues to design weddings for!

My husband and I got married at Ryan Family Farm this past October. Celine along with our day of coordinator made the day go by seamlessly. The week leading up the weather seemed to be planning on rain for our big day. They were willing to work with us for set up for an indoor and outdoor option. We ended up having to do an indoor ceremony and they made it beautiful. They created an illusion of 2 different spaces that made our wedding experience amazing. Celine was super helpful with finding the most amazing vendors as well as day of coordinator to take the stress off our hands. Have nothing but amazing thing to say about this venue. We also rented out the two houses on the property. We rented one for the girls to get ready and one for the males. It made everything so much easier having everyone right on location. Absolutely amazing venue!

When we were looking for a venue for our wedding, we knew we wanted to get married at a barn especially one with farm animals. Once we stumbled upon Ryan Family Farm, it was everything we had envisioned for ourselves and we knew we had found our dream venue. To have a venue with a ceremony, reception and lodging accommodations all in one spot was incredible and made our wedding weekend seamless and more enjoyable. Celine was also very helpful during the planning process and even helped us set up the evening before our wedding.

We desperately wanted an outdoor wedding next to the animals but we were unsure it would happen with the rain. The storm ended just in the time for us to set up outside and everything went perfectly and the staff during the reception was impeccable and super friendly - we felt like we had known them forever! And the catering (Thom Rose) was beyond spectacular, and our family still talks about it to this day.

We also really wanted our dog to be included in our day and Celine let us know about a dog attendant vendor (Woof & Hoof) and we were able to have our basset hound join our ceremony and photos, which truly made it such a perfect day! We would definitely recommend this venue.

Everything my daughter envisioned for her wedding came true with the help of Celine at Ryan Family Farm. All around beautiful venue. I highly recommend if you’re looking for space to hold your event.

Love everything about the Ryan Family Farm! The staff and coordinator always go above and beyond at making sure every detail is taken care of. The farmhouse and the grounds around the property are perfect for photo ops as well. Can't recommend enough!!

My now wife and I can not say enough good things about this venue. From the first time we set foot on the property we absolutely fell in love with everything that the Barn and property had to offer. The staff made everything feel like we were family while we were there. Our endless questions were answered promptly and we never felt like there was a question that seemed so silly that we couldn’t ask. We went for our food tasting not long after booking. After creating a fully custom menu that accommodated all of our requests we felt very confident our meal would be exactly what we were hoping for. When our big day arrived we went in with a feeling of comfort that everything we had planned and discussed would go off without a second thought. All of our food choices from cocktail hour to the reception dinner were absolutely delicious. All of our guests couldn’t comment enough on how much they enjoyed the food and the atmosphere of the Ryan Family Farm.

We had our wedding at Ryan Family Farm this August and couldn't be more happy with our decision! The place is obviously gorgeous and charming - but has lovely modern features like being wheelchair accessible, multiple indoor bathrooms, and air conditioning (all of which we found hard to find when looking for a barn venue). We saw all of the place had to offer on their website and reached out to ask about pricing - which we were shocked to find was very reasonable (especially for that area). From start to finish we coordinated with Celine who absolutely made this first time experience for us so utterly easy!

Right from the start she was very transparent about pricing, what the venue could or couldn't do, and was so unbelievably patient and kind about the millions of questions we had (which were often asked time and time again due to being newbies). Just from the emails we were very excited about what we were hearing and very hastily asked to meet that weekend (although the wedding wasn't going to be another year and a half) to get a tour. She quickly responded to tell us what days didn't have an event and said she'd gladly meeting us then.

Once at the venue, we were thrilled to find out that the photos were completely accurate (but still couldn't fully capture the loveliness of the space). During the tour, she walked us through every part of the venue, from where the outdoor ceremony could be, to the cooking facilities, to the onsite house to get ready in. She also had various table settings displayed for us to view samples of different options as well as showed us different options for signage/decor we could rent for the day. From there, we asked her to send us the contract and we then spent the entire next week going back and forth with all of my millions of questions. Yet again, she was patient, kind, quick to respond, and very clearly explained it all.

By the end of the week, we decided to proceed and asked if we could swing by again with our parents to tour the place together as well as drop off the check. She was so sweet to provide us with another full tour but was also flawless at providing us space when we wanted to chat. Basically - right from the start we knew Celine was going to make this process SO smooth and we were absolutely correct.

However, I will say the one thing we were a bit nervous about before booking this place was that we had to go with their cater. On one had we were excited about was having one less decision but we obviously wanted the food to be delicious on our special day. - so we were a bit nervous about being locked in to someone. Also, because our wedding was so far away we weren't going to be able to get a tasting for a minute - but we were able to chat with Thom (one of the owners for Back of the House catering) to discuss price ranges and also setup time to head to his local restaurant. This felt like a good compromise because we were able to eat there to see just how fresh and high quality their food standards were plus it all tasted so delicious! After eating we were able to sit down with Thom to lay out an initial menu and confirm we could get a a menu we were thrilled with within our budget! Therefore, before we got to sign the venue contract we were able to feel excited about the caterer too!

Throughout the remainder of the project Celine continued to be so unbelievably patient, transparent, and thorough. This clearly wasn't her first rodeo - so she had a great ability to answer our questions accurately but also was so unbelievable accommodating and flexible. She has this fantastic ability to be professional and detail oriented while also being so warm and kind. I can not emphasize enough how annoying I was with asking repeat questions (because again - newbie who didn't realize all the details) and she time and time again just sweetly answered the questions with such patients. She was always quick to respond and was very reliable and quick to complete anything she said she was going to do (like send a document or contact someone etc.) which made doing most of this process via email seamless. It felt so nice to feel so confident in our team during this wild new experience of planning a wedding - and having Celine be a part of that made all the different.

Also, the land is so utterly beautiful and they're so gracious about letting you explore for photos.

I've gone on long enough and haven't been able to capture all we loved about the venue - but in summary, 10/10 would a 100% recommend this place for any and all events! We're already daydreaming about a way to incorporate this back into our lives!

5/6/23 My husband and I had such a beautiful day as well as the best time of our lives. Ryan Family Farm was the very first venue we went to look at and we immediately fell in love. Not only was it a warm feeling inside, but the place is beautiful and versatile for whatever you need. I love the barn look but I also wanted a woodland themed wedding and we made it happen (SO beautiful). From November to May you think I would have been extremely stressed but this venue allowed great communication along with a great staff to assist our every need when we needed it. Celine was amazing. From the start of planning to the day off, that woman made the transition as smooth and stress free as possible. She had tide sticks and tape when you needed it, and overall kept everyone and everything in perfect order. The food was amazing. Huge shout out to Thom Rose and his crew. Guest are still talking about how amazing the short rib was. And another shout to our DJ Party out loud for getting everyone on that dance floor. Our guests continue to tell us they had such an amazing time. I wish I could live the day over and over again! 10/10 recommend ryan family farm. We cried (happy tears), laughed, and danced the entire night away.

Another shout out to Amber Bauoff Photography: attached is the photo she took, the work speaks for itself 🤍🤍

I Googled "barns near me" and found this beautiful venue for my wedding 20 minutes from home. The barn is simply magnificent, designed to perfection, dreamy, romantic, warm, inviting and absolute perfection for what I was looking for. Celine could not do enough for us, was available and responsive with all of our questions and concerns and helped make our dream an extraordinary reality. The entire property is simply breathtaking. I just can't say enough wonderful things about our experience. Celine, Tom (the owner), Danny (the caterer), the staff, everything and everyone....absolute PERFECTION.

Amazing staff Celine went above and beyond. Tom was amazing with conducting the day of the event . Celine was my wedding coordinator she was amazing beyond words. Farm was amazing staff we used private catering Sugar and spice .

If you are looking for an incredible rustic barn wedding, this is the one! Ryan Farms was the best choice we could’ve made for our wedding venue. The barn space is gorgeous and modern while still keeping a super rustic feel. The grounds are immaculate, and the venue offers the added bonus of on site lodging! We worked from the beginning of the planning process to the end with the event coordinator, Celine and she was an absolute godsend throughout the entire process…from every detail of planning to the day of the wedding. We booked her “day of coordination” services—best decision I ever made. She kept everything running smoothly and kept me on track. When I’d feel overwhelmed about any detail, I’d reach out to her and she would instantly provide a solution or offer to get one asap! I’ve seen sneak peeks of our photos and the scenery was absolutely stunning. Perfect back drop. The event was seamless start to finish and I honestly couldn’t ask for more! Highly recommend!

This is the perfect barn venue if you want a place that has the look and feel of a barn but with a modernized inside. It's also great because rain or shine this venue can make your wedding happen!
Celine is the wedding coordinator and she is exceptional 😍 I cannot say enough about how much she made my wedding the amazing night it was 10/10

Also the "bridal suite" is an entire farmhouse!! All of my bridesmaids basically had their own room to get ready in or keep their stuff in which was nice!

From the perspective of the bride...
Engaged in December 2021 and married by September 2022, on our 5 year anniversary. I began searching for the perfect upstate NY venue over the winter and began to lose hope because of prices, availability, logistics, etc. Fortunately, I came upon The Ryan Family Farm and things started looking up! The venue is a clean and simple canvas to work off of and has just the right amount of rustic charm. I met and worked with Celine, the venue coordinator extraordinaire and from the moment I signed on the dotted line, was able to text back and forth with her for the next several months about anything and everything. She was so willing to communicate back and forth, offer advice and facilitate every aspect of the day. We decided to use the deck space for our ceremony and we had a wonderfully cool but not cold, sunny day in late September. My family and wedding party spent the night before and the night-of in the very comfortable and cozy onsite farmhouse. It was clean, it was roomy, it was aesthetically on point; it was a zen space to prepare for the big day. The impeccably maintained red barn was the perfect sized space for my ~115 guest affair. With very few limitations on what we were allowed to use for decor, my family and I customized the venue simply, minimally but beautifully. Celine was on her feet from sun up, to almost midnight, catering to every need, sticking to the day's timeline and maintaining the ever so coveted calm we wanted for the day. I will remember my wedding day forever and wouldn't have changed a thing... from the weather, bbq catering, dancing and smiles on my guests' faces. My now husband and I were able to feel at home and let our true colors shine. I am absolutely on the edge of my seat awaiting on our pictures and video.

My husband and I got married this July at the Ryan Family Farm and had the most amazing wedding! The venue itself was everything we imagined and more. The grounds and the barn are gorgeous. The staff, especially Celine was AMAZING to work with! Celine went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Not only was she always available to communicate with before the big day, she made sure our entire wedding weekend went off without a hitch. We are SO grateful to have found this venue and can't wait to return for future celebrations!

My (now) wife and I were extremely lucky to book the Ryan Family Farm for our wedding earlier this year. It was the perfect venue for us to have an intimate ceremony and throw an excellent party for the 70 most important people in our lives. I'd give them six stars if I could. Tom and Celine are very accommodating and experienced professionals to help you with a variety of events, not just weddings. They were a pleasure to work with and showed up from morning setup to the post-part breakdown at the end of the night with endless energy to make our wedding day go smoothly, and that doesn't even factor in all the excellent advice they gave us in the months leading up to our wedding.
Their venue is singular in its charm and offers a lot of space to make your day your own way. There is plenty of flexibility in how to setup and entertain your guests.

Julia and I would like to thank Celine and the Ryan Family for their hospitality, kindness, and making our wedding day unforgettable in the best way.

Ryan family farm was the best wedding experience! Tom was so helpful and guided us at any time, during covid and having to post pone our wedding things were very challenging but I was so happy to have Tom along the way.
The venue was a stunning one of a kind barn experience. The barn was completely customizable to what we wanted to do. There were so many compliments from our guest and it was the perfect fit for us. Having the ceremony right on the lawn next to the goats, to flowing into the barn / balcony for cocktail hour, and the reception inside. It was seamless. Thank you for everything. I am so happy to have these wonderful photos here forever. - the sheehan’s

I wasted no time writing this review. If you want your wedding to be absolute perfection, you’ll book Ryan’s family farm. At first I didn’t want a wedding because of how overwhelming the process can be, but Celine Martin (the farms wedding coordinator) made the process so seem less, so smooth, and so perfect. Anything I asked, Celine made it happen. She was so sweet always asking me throughout the night if I needed anything; food, water, drinks. She even saw me struggling to find a hair tie at one point to which she gave me her own. She was just the sweetest. You can dream up almost anything and Celine makes it happen. Tom Ryan also was a great help with setting up and answering questions. The farm is just absolutely gorgeous and guests have already been telling me and my husband how it was the best wedding they’ve been to. We also rented the air bnb they have right next to the venue, which made getting ready the morning of the wedding so seamless. The cute goats on the property were a hit too of course! Just all around very friendly people to work with, especially during such a special time.

Ryan Family Farm is a beautiful modern barn venue in the Hudson Valley. I photographed a wedding here during the peak fall foliage season and the property was surrounded by color! As a photographer, I really love the large barn window and white ceilings - pictures always look great in these conditions.

This venue is an absolute dream come true. It hit every requirement on my venue checklist, plus some. Tom was accommodating, professional, flexible, and wonderful to work with. The venue has the barnyard style with a modern twist that kept myself and all of my guests gushing about it for months afterwards. Perfect in every way, I was more than thrilled with everything, and I can guarantee that you will be too.

I had my wedding at the Ryan Family Farm this past July and it was truly magical. The farm and barn venue were absolutely gorgeous and the staff made everything so easy to accomplish. They were really hospitable and kept things simple with good humor! I stayed with close family at the farmhouse which was lovely and we had s’mores down by the lake (also magical). It was the perfect place to get married...peaceful, intimate, beautiful, and everyone had a great time (and is still talking about how special it was to be there).

The Ryan Farm, Historic Inn, Cottage, Barn Venue & Lake Marjorie is the most complete property to emerge in the Dutchess County area for The Hudson Valley in 20 years. The property can accommodate up too 200 people, yet is best enjoyed with custom packages built for small more exclusive celebrations. The property can house up to 18 people presently in two meticulously restored buildings (cottage & Inn)--and summer functions can even have tented over night guests by the lake!
If you want a close proximity to a Dutchess County location, from NYC or locally--this is the place!

I absolutely LOVE Ryan Family Farm! Brides- if you are looking for an amazing wedding venue, gorgeous setting, wonderful staff, amenities, then look no further! One of my closest friends was married here back in October 2022, and as a bridesmaid I was incredibly impressed by the beautiful house/airbnb they have on site for the bridal party to stay at the night before, and get ready at in the morning. Our rehearsal walk through was wonderful, the staff truly seemed like they were a part of our family and group, and explained everything so well. I was lucky enough to also be the wedding hair vendor for my friend's wedding, and I loved our getting ready space in the house, but also appreciated how personable the coordinator was with myself and the Bride/ladies. The options for the ceremony are beautiful, the cocktail hour and barn layout was amazing. The wedding was at the peak of fall so we had amazing pictures on their deck/patio with gorgeous colors behind us, and during the evening were able to enjoy being outside as well, with the heat lamps and still feel part of the celebration. I have been honored to work at the venue since and every wedding has been equally as wonderful. 10/10 recommend!!!

Ryan Family Farm is a wonderful venue. My husband and I had such minimal decor because the barn is so incredibly beautiful. All of the wood makes it looks like a barn but it has all of the modern amenities you need including fully loaded bathrooms and air condition (very important in my opinion)! I would do my wedding 100x over. It was such an incredible experience. Celine is great and I loved working with her especially the day of our wedding. My bridesmaids and I stayed in the farmhouse suite the night before which made waking up and getting ready so much easier. Plus the farmhouse is absolutely beautiful (perfect place for pictures of getting ready). Thank you Ryan Family Farm for everything! We could not be happier!
