Seven Ponds Farm Reviews

The location was gorgeous. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Food was delicious and sustainable. And our guests keep telling us much they loved it all. We would highly recommend this amazing venue!

Our wedding at Seven Ponds exceeded all of our expectations. The team is communicative, warm, and professional, the venue itself is stunning, and the food was amazing.

The experience we had at Seven Ponds was unmatched! We were able to have our entire wedding party plus significant others stay at the farmhouse Thursday - Sunday to play games and bond which was awesome! The views speak for themselves because the grounds are breathtaking! And the staff? INCREDIBLE! We could not have asked for more or been taken care of better (plus we had a pretty rowdy group that they handled beautifully). 10/10 would recommend to anyone that’s looking for beautiful views and a top notch wedding experience!

Our experience at Seven Ponds exceeded expectations, Min and Morton and their entire team were very helpful throughout the process and provided everything we needed to plan a beautiful weekend. The team at Seven Ponds, especially the managers Alison and Maria and bartender Gabe, made sure that everything went off without a hitch for both of us and all of our guests. The team went above and beyond to anticipate our needs (even making sure we had snacks and drinks during our post ceremony photos). The venue is beautiful and the farmhouse is very comfortable!

This is an amazing place for a Wedding. We looked at multiple different venues during COVID to try to plan a wedding for 2022 and this was the only venue that brought tears to my eyes. The views at peak time in the fall are breathe taking. The photo opportunities are plentiful to get amazing shots with a lot of different backgrounds. The staff at Seven Ponds go out of their way to meet your every need, and are on top of everything. Lisa, Cassie and Maria were amazing to work with– literally brought my vision to life for our wedding. They take the time to make sure everything is perfect and reinforce that things will run smoothly. The farm house adds a lot of character and Lisa and Cassie made us and our whole crew feel very welcome from the start. The barn is rustic, yet elegant and provided a beautiful place for our reception. The food and flavors that were incorporated for our rehearsal dinner and the wedding is something you experience at a high end restaurant. Our guests still talk about how delicious the meal was and ask how we found this spectacular venue as it is like nothing they have ever experienced before. We wanted a weekend wedding in an intimate setting with family and close friends, Seven Ponds made this dynamic absolutely everything we could have dreamed of and more. We plan to visit next year on our 1 year anniversary! We highly recommend this venue to anyone who is engaged and looking for a remarkable and unforgettable wedding.

The seven ponds was a magical place that made my wife’s dream wedding come true! We had our wedding postponed from 8/14/2021 to 8/13/2022 because of Covid and we had all our vendors secured, including our venue. 3 months before our wedding date, our original venue was forced to close down and we were force to find a new venue. After nonstop of searching for a new venue for 14 days straight, we were bless to find the seven ponds. After contacting them, everything from there went so smoothly. They were so helpful in every way possible because of how little time we had left until the wedding. From the moment we contacted them to the wedding day, everything was perfect and they were so accommodating! In our opinion, the seven ponds beats any ballroom venue around the country because of how magical their property is. The seven ponds is so beautiful, relaxing, and amazing! They were at our disposal every second of the day. My wife and I are nothing but thankful, grateful, and bless to have our dream wedding at seven ponds because it was definitely a memorable moment we will never forget! Thank you so much seven ponds for making our dream wedding come true!

The Seven Ponds team gave us a perfect wedding. From the second we booked the venue, they were by our side with helpful planning advice and staff that would take work off our shoulders. So much was handled by them - from the food to the layout and accommodations - it would have been enough if everything just went smoothly. But not only did our wedding day go seamlessly, it was spectacular from start to finish. Our families keep asking how we found it! Like it is some sort of hidden treasure. Because it is. Book them now!!

We got married at Seven Ponds Farm a little over a month ago and it was the most magical weekend!! Driving home on Sunday after the wedding, we were on cloud 9, just reliving all of the moments we loved, it was a special feeling. We truly had the best time!

Everything was amazing - from the relaxed rehearsal dinner BBQ, to dancing the night away in the barn, and enjoying the bonfires under the stars! Our guests haven't stopped raving to us about how beautiful the venue was, how delicious the food was and how much fun they had. It was fun to watch our guests sneaking out of the barn during the reception to take in the beauty of the view at dusk.

Lisa was amazing and I do not think we could have done it without her! She went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our weekend. Cassey was super helpful as well and also deserves our gratitude for making sure everything went smoothly.

Thank you to the whole team at Seven Ponds Farm & Blenheim - we could not have asked for a better wedding weekend!

Booking Seven Ponds as our wedding venue was the best decision we made while wedding planning. The location and venue is absolutely stunning, the food/bar/staff were amazing, but ultimately the best part was working with Min, Morten, and the entire Seven Ponds team. They were so professional, supportive, and responsive to all of our needs throughout the entire planning process, and we felt so taken care of the day of our wedding. I couldn't recommend them more!

From the very beginning of finding the venue and saying yes to Seven Ponds Farms, it was such an easy and stress free process. The owners Min and Mort are amazing and their staff goes above and beyond to make sure the day went without a hitch. Maria was a such a help from making sure all of our documents were correct and that all of our questions about the venue were answered in a timely manner. Our Day of Coordinators were amazing both Lisa and Cassey made sure every single aspect of the day from getting our bridal party down the aisle to working with us with the vendors. The whole Day was so smooth and stress free.
The food selection was perfect and everyone raved about the menu and dessert. I could have not picked such a perfect and magical places to get married to my best friend. I hope whoever sees this review jumps at the opportunity to have their magical day at Blenheim hill or their sister farm Seven Ponds!

When we first visited Seven Ponds, after seeing at least ~8 other locations, we pulled the car over and canceled all of our other remaining visits. The property was unbelievable - amazing views, beautiful land, a great house/facility.

My partner and I were originally scheduled to get married Labor Day of 2020 - obviously, those plans were impacted by COVID. We had to shift a full year later, to Labor Day of 2021. The entire team, the team at Seven Ponds was incredibly easy to work with (including rescheduling all their couples) and very communicative about the process.

The day of, everything went according to plan, and the staff were excellent to work with. No one really comments on the food at weddings, but our food and drink service was fantastic, and the day itself was magical.

We had a wonderful wedding weekend at Seven Ponds Farm in June, 2022 after postponing our wedding for a year due to the pandemic. The owners and event management team were very helpful and communicative throughout the planning process over the last two years. Everything was exceptional onsite throughout the whole weekend - we loved staying onsite at the farmhouse, our guests raved about the food, and the natural beauty of the farm and surrounding area was stunning. All of the staff were very helpful and truly nothing went wrong. We would love to do it all over again!

We had just the most wonderful experience at Seven Ponds - we feel lucky to have been able to hold a 100 person wedding at such a beautiful venue during the COVID pandemic with no limitations! The Staff are amazing, the food is irresistible (team Short Ribs), and the venue is beyond reproach.

Brides will love the long walk from the farmhouse to the altar overlooking the ponds!

Like many couples who tied the knot during covid, we experience chaos and many unknowns during this very uncertain time. Thankfully, we were able to have some stability and support working with Seven Ponds during this otherwise tumultuous year. Having to postpone our wedding to the following year was painful and disappointing but Seven Ponds staff guided us through each step of the way with understanding and patience. When we finally got to have our special day, it was nothing short of incredible and magical. The Seven Ponds farm is breathtaking and our guests couldn’t stop talking about what a wonderful time they had. From the fresh farm-to-table food to the beautiful decor, it was truly a night to remember. We are so thankful to the Seven Ponds team and highly recommend to all couples looking for a venue.

First of all, the location and scenery were amazingly charming and breath taking! 

We reserved the historical house for two days and our two families even with different cultural background (Hong Kong & French Canadian) were completely charmed. It was such precious moments to be able to spend two nights and three days with people we love from abroad in a relaxing environment like this one. 

In addition, we would never felt as comfortable if it wasn't for the warmth and kindness from the owners Min and Morten who wholeheartedly welcomed us as if we were home. They were present during the wedding and blended in almost as part of our extended family. 

Meeting them to their restaurants in New York City and experiencing their menu prior to the wedding was also something that made us feel at ease. 

Fredrik coordinated the ceremony and evening with such professionalism and friendliness that guests were wondering from which side of the family he was from. 

Everything from the ceremony to the dance party was magical! From the words of our guests and videographer-photographer: "It was out of this world!"

We genuinely thank Min, Morten, Fredrik, Carol and the whole team of Seven Pond to have helped made this day one of the best of our lives!

If I could give them 10 stars I would. Gorgeous, perfect, stunning, spectacular…and every other similar adjective. Our Seven Ponds wedding exceeded every expectation. The setting is just beautiful – impossible to get a bad picture with the farm as a backdrop. The farmhouse suited our bridal party to a T. Everyone had plenty of room, the well-equipped kitchen made it easy to feed our crew on the Friday before and the Saturday of the wedding. We enjoyed a delicious barbecue buffet after our rehearsal and family and bridal party gathered around the bonfire with s’mores afterward. The morning of the wedding, the amazing team (more about them later) doted on us with mimosas and freshly baked muffins. The wedding ceremony went off without a hitch – timing was perfect. And the cocktail hour and reception flew by way too fast. Guests were in awe of the food and the setting in the barn. Our Sunday morning brunch on the porch was the perfect way to close out a perfect weekend. Kudos, applause, and many, many thanks to team leaders, Slywia & Jab – not sure they slept at all over the weekend! They were patient, kind, cheerful, and full of good humor. They kept everything running smoothly and seemed to be in six different places at once. Keeping up the same pace were the rest of the staff. We also must mention our bartender extraordinaire for the weekend, Greg! He managed to stay on top of everyone’s particular order and made every guest feel welcome and catered to. We also know there were many others who maintained the barn, the farmhouse, chefs and others who served our party – everyone was wonderful. We booked our wedding just after Min and Morton purchased the farm – it wasn’t finished when we first saw it. They had a beautiful vision of what they wanted to create and we benefited from the realization of that vision! Their commitment to ensuring bride, groom, family, and guests was clear when they were there to greet us on Friday and stopped in at the reception on Saturday. Be able to do the pre wedding planning of food tastings, meetings, etc at their restaurant in NYC was extremely helpful, as that's where we are based. They were extremely attentive and on top of it the entire way, answering every question we had! Wish we could do it all again every weekend!

I am stingy and paranoid of being taken advantage of. That being said Min and Morten are truly amazing people who are flexible and full of love for their clients. I would recommend ANYONE who is able to have their wedding here. This is not a cliche hipster venue- played out. This is a one of a kind experience on mountain tops. From accommodations to service (whoever was our point of contact on our day was simply the most amazing man) and to the DELICIOUS food- WOW. I don't plan on getting married again, but we may just need to renew our vows here.

The entire process of planning the wedding with the Seven Ponds Farm crew was one of the most organized experience we’ve gone through. The entire staff was accessible, empathetic, accommodating, and just so wonderfully kind. 10/10, we would recommend everyone go with Seven Ponds Farm for their wedding.

What a gorgeous, intimate venue! My family knew the last 2 couples to live on this property, so we know the area and the property very well. While I hate to encourage people to go out into the more remote areas of the Catskills (I do prefer conservation), this venue was truly everything I had hoped for and more. First of all, the property is gorgeous. Rolling hills and dark mountains in the background; ponds and wild flowers in the foreground - absolutely stunning. There are chickens, cows and sheep for the city folks to fawn over & the areas for rehearsal dinner, reception and cocktails are adorable, cozy and lit so romantically. There's a spectacular view every way you look! The farmhouse is also wonderful. Each room was comfortable and nicely decorated - the house its self is large without being echo-y and small without being claustrophobic. It felt just like home! Plus, it's connected directly to the barn where the reception is, which was incredibly convenient particularly for those in high heels... Secondly, the staff. Every one of them was so attentive, kind, considerate & helpful! They went above and beyond to make sure everything happened the way we wanted (even if we didn't know it). We're not a particularly needy couple, but we were taken aback by their generosity! They were all so friendly and communicative - it was excellent. Shout out to Jab and Danielle for their spectacular efforts - keeping close track of the weather (it was rainy) and making sure we could have the ceremony outside while ensuring that Plan B was set up and ready to go! We ended up doing the ceremony outdoors as planned, once the skies cleared and the rest of the evening was like a fairy-tale. The planning leading up to the wedding was very helpful. The staff at Seven Ponds met us at their sister restaurant in Manhattan (Blenheim) for the initial briefing, food tasting & other meetings to iron out details. They were always accommodating and made sure the whole check list was accounted for. They provided all the documents we needed to plan out the dinner, the farmhouse room allocations and more! It was all a bit overwhelming for me - I'm really not the "typical" bride and was at times uncomfortable with the attention & detailed questions- but the team was thorough and I appreciate that more. Thirdly, the food was outstanding. The hor d'oeuvres, the dinner, the after party tacos, the EVERYTHING was absolutely DELICIOUS. I wish I hadn't been so busy so that I could have enjoyed it all more. Seriously tho, if you're thinking about doing the late night snacks, CHOOSE THE TACOS. Holy hell they were amazing... All in all, this place was excellent. I had a delightful wedding - couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out :)

We absolutely loved our wedding at Seven Ponds.

Our goal was to make our wedding a weekend event, and we signed on with Seven Ponds because they were able to make that happen. We checked in at the house on the property Friday afternoon, along with our close friends and family. We had SO much fun Friday, hanging out, exploring the property, playing games, swimming in the pond, chilling by the fire - it was a blast.

Saturday morning arrived, and my bridesmaids and I spent all day in the beautiful bridal suite, while the Seven Ponds team prepped for our big day! The Seven Ponds team worked so hard to ensure everything was as perfect as it could be. Our guests were so wowed, between the beautiful scenery, the delicious canapes, the delicious dinner, & yummy signature drinks! It was so fun to not have our day end as soon as the reception was over. One of the many reasons we loved staying on the property. We were able to have our own after party with our friends and family who were staying on site with us!

Fast forward to Sunday. Seven Ponds hosted our Brunch. Brunch was a-m-a-z-I-n-g. With all the planning we did for the big day, we had an idea of how the wedding day would go, in terms of food, décor, etc. However with the brunch, I did not know what to expect! The variety of fresh home-made breakfast pastries, the ham, the eggs, the salad, the presentation, it was all so good! It was so nice to have all our friends and family staying in the area back at the property to chat and enjoy each other. It was the perfect ending to our amazing wedding weekend.

Thanks Seven Ponds!

Words can not begin to explain and do justice the most incredible venue experience created by owners Min and Mort, and the attention to detail provided by their on site staff headed by Carol, Mina and Tim. Arriving on Thursday, we rented the farmhouse for 20 guests. Everything you need is provided and it is a great place for children. Feeding the animals each morning certainly was a unique experience shared by all the little ones. The wedding venue is perfectly set to stunning views of the mountains, valleys and ponds. The cocktail hour was set off in another area with equally breath taking vistas, matched only by the eclectic selection of appetizers offered. Scores of guests commented of how different and full of flavors the hors d'ouevre were. And there was no shortage of appetizers. When you think it can't get any better - it does. Moving from the outside scene to the interior of the renovated barn led us into an astonishing atmosphere of dining and dancing. The kayak light fixture provided elegant illumination that shimmered through glassware, reflected off the china and sparkled in the silverware. You were in a sophisticated 5 Star venue, in the middle of the most picturesque natural settings imaginable. And the best was to come. The sit down dinner was as elegant as you will ever have. Again, guest after guest commented on how this was the best wedding dinner they were ever served. When properly prepared, there is no comparison to farm to table food preparation, and this was properly prepared, fresh and delicious. The food served was delectable beyond words. The service staff was impeccable, refined and attentive. Your each and every need was addressed before you could ask for it. Every seat in the barn had a spectacular view of the valley and the barn fire, that we would highly recommend. If you were not dining on sophisticated cuisine, you were either dancing, enjoying the barn fire or playing outdoor games. The children could come and go, were thoroughly entertained and probably had a time as good and enjoyable as the adults. Our only regret - 4 hours was not enough. The night could have lasted forever. As we had family and friends from all over the country, we decided on the Sunday Brunch. Just when you thought it could not get any better - Wow! It does. If this was the wedding dinner it would have been magnificent, as a brunch it was unparalleled. Everything was farm fresh; ham, sausage, eggs, fruit, salad, homemade muffins and pastries, omelets and maybe one of the best coffees ever served. A fitting finale to a most glorious weekend for the wedding of our daughter and son in law. Please do not misunderstand, our most important and revered time of the weekend was the wedding ceremony for Corryn and Erik. And in all honesty everything else was secondary to their vows and beginning their life together. Yet it was somehow fitting that the staff of the Seven Ponds put an exclamation point on their celebration. We can say unequivocally, that if you are looking for the most pristine venue, amazing food and a staff that will best any, then you need to immediately contact Min and Mort at the Seven Ponds to begin your planning. Once you select your date, then the most detailed arrangements are initiated with Carol and her staff. Neither you, your guests or most important, the bride and groom will be disappointed, and they will be treated to the most incredible beginning to the rest of their life.

I cannot say enough about our wedding and experience with Seven Ponds Farm. Among many things, Erik and I are foodies and environmentalists, and Seven Ponds Farm represents those two aspects flawlessly. The forethought that owners Min and Morten put into every detail of Seven Ponds, is what makes this place truly unique. From the gorgeous vistas, to the handcrafted details of the farmhouse, every aspect has been carefully planned to make for a dream come true venue.

Once you fall in love with the venue, and can’t imagine having your wedding anywhere else, it only gets better. I tend to be slightly OCD, and detail orientated, and I think have met my match in Carol! I did not stress nor worry at any point through the planning process! Carol knows what she is doing and took care of everything! She walked me through every detail until I was happy, and even brought up things I wouldn’t have thought of. I cannot express how much I enjoyed working with her! She is a gem, with a great sense of humor, and an ease about her.

I don’t think that I could pick out my one favorite part of our wedding, but if I had to, the food definitely would be towards the top of that list! So many weddings I have been to, is the same dried out chicken, and over sauced meat. Fortunately, you will not find anything like that at Seven Ponds! Just the opposite, you and your guest will think you are eating at an elegant 5-star restaurant. The food is delectable, unique, and full of flavor. Our guest kept saying “This is real food.” And I could not agree more, it’s a real farm to table experience for your taste buds. And the marzipan cake (drool), is the perfect ending to your meal. It is just the right amount of sweetness, while still being light and airy.

If the incredible team, and food weren’t enough the venue itself is picturesque. Set among gorgeous views of the mountains, valleys and ponds, everywhere you look is a treat for your eyes. The renovated barn is just as spectacular, with the kayak chandelier and the handmade wooden tables and chairs.

One last added perk, Mina! She is a love! She along with Carol made sure everything was taken care, and all the details were in place. This even include freshly made berry muffins delivery in the morning while we were staying at the farmhouse.

I cannot overstate the rustic sophistication of this venue, and Min and Morten and their team. Every need from beginning to end was met. If you are looking for a wedding venue, contact Min and Morten at Seven Ponds.

I cannot say enough about our family's experience this past weekend at Seven Ponds Farm for my daughter's wedding. From our first meeting with owners Min and Morton, and our Event Manager Fredrik, there was no doubt we made the right decision. Planning and restructuring to fit our vision and budget was seamless; the venue is nothing short of spectacular. Min and Morton leave nothing to chance and are extremely hands on. Fredrik was incredible from start to finish, as was the entire staff, but he went above and beyond with not only my daughter but my elderly mom and ALL of the guests. The farmhouse was the perfect for the bridal party's sleeping accommodations as well as day off prep! My guests are just amazed at the level of care and attention he paid to everyone at the wedding and all of the guests had the time of their life! I cannot recommend Seven Ponds Farm enough - it will add a level of spectacular to your once in a lifetime day!

We held our rehearsal dinner at the Seven Ponds House and also had the bridal party stay there for the weekend. The team went above and beyond to make our experience a complete dream. The newly updated barn is stunning and the food is delicious! All of our guests were blown away by the staff, the beautiful grounds and the special touches like lawn games and a fire by the pond. What an incredible place to share with your friends and family. The house has plenty of space for large parties and gave us a chance to all stay together, instead of splitting off to different hotel rooms. We really enjoyed the "getting ready" room in the bridal suite because the entire bridal party could hang out in there together on the big day. We loved our stay!!

Words can't express how amazing our wedding weekend was, and it is all thanks to the incredible dream team at Seven Ponds Farm. As the new sister farm of the well-known Blenheim Hill Farm property, we knew right away that we were in great hands. We visited the not-yet completed Seven Ponds Farm in the middle of the freezing winter in January with snow/ice covering everything, but Min and Morten's vision for this farm was so clear, we fully trusted that they would execute. And by golly, did they deliver!!! We are SO thrilled that we trusted this team with our wedding (1st wedding held at Seven Ponds!), because it was absolutely a dream come true. The site for the ceremony has the most breathtaking view of the mountains. All the guests are facing the beautiful birch arch with the large pond right in front, with mountains in the back scenery. It's something out of a fairytale book! They have a beautiful walkway around the perimeter of the pond where the bride makes the grand entrance. The barn was absolutely beautiful as well with a nice rustic yet modern look. They have the entire table and chair setup, along with tableware, so you have nothing to worry about there! The food was off the charts and multiple guests commented that this was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. I also recommend you stay at the farmhouse for the weekend, as that was the icing on the cake with family and wedding party getting to know each other and hang out all weekend. It was the absolute best.

The venue and the team (Min, Morten, Carol, Fredrik) make Seven Ponds a dream. I'm certain it will only be a matter of time before this place gets so popular that there will be a waitlist, so we are absolutely honored to have been first and to share this experience with them.
