Wedding Barn at Lakota's Farm Reviews

Lakota’s Farm is a gorgeous venue in a gorgeous location. If you are looking for a rustic barn setting and a dream wedding, this is the place! (I mean, check out the chandelier in the barn and the beautiful horses) Working with the team at Lakota’s was always a great experience. From the first phone call, through all communication, during, and after our wedding.. they made us feel like family. They were so helpful with any questions and really helped to give us the wedding of our dreams. Casey and Kimberly are just the sweetest lady’s to work with and we plan to travel back to the farm to attend some of their events in the future!

Where to even begin?! Lakota’s Farm is as perfect as venues come. Nestled in the foothills of Washington County, the property manages to capitalize on the very best of Upstate New York in every way! From the pastoral views of the surrounding mountains and farmlands to the impeccably kept grounds, Lakota wowed from beginning to end! The barn itself has been restored and reimagined with creativity and function in mind, and serves as a tastefully rustic and raw canvas for your own vibe and vision! With the help of Kim, Alan, Kasey, and the entire Lakota team, our “mid-century modern botanical garden” vision was realized - partnered with the well thought out flow of the grounds and barn space it had our family and friend’s gushing!

We would highly recommend Lakota’s Farm - there’s nothing else like it!

My husband and I are extremely happy that we had our wedding at Lakota's Farm! Kimberly and her team were friendly, professional, and accommodating to us and our family throughout the entire process. Months later after our September 2019 wedding, our friends and family still keep telling us how absolutely beautiful the entire venue was, including the two private buildings for the couple and the wedding party to get ready separately, the guest greeting station, our outdoor ceremony location, the cocktail hour bar, the reception room upstairs in the barn, and of course the grounds themselves. We would highly recommend Lakota's, and can't wait to go back for one of their public events like the Farm-to-Table Dinners!

Charlie and I couldn’t have been more pleased with Wedding Barn at Lakotas Farm. Kimberly and her team did an amazing job with every aspect of our wedding. The venue was absolutely breath taking and all the guests raved about how beautiful the site was. My girls and I got ready at Lakota and her assistants were wonderful helping with putting out the food and drinks we had brought for the day as well as getting us anything else we needed. The day before the wedding there was a miscommunication with the bonfire, but Kimberly did everything she could to fix it and I was so thankful for that since I was already pretty stressed the day before the wedding trying to get everything ready.
The thing I appreciated the most about Kimberly is that she really made us feel that our wedding was super special and you can tell she absolutely loves what she does and tries her best to bring your vision of the day come true. Words can’t express how grateful I am for Kimberly and her team. I’m so thankful to have had my wedding there.

OMG fantastic. I have attended a wedding as a guest a year ago which was wonderful. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. The venue was beautiful, and the views were just gorgeous. I then saw that they were hosting a Farm to Table Dinner this past Friday, which we attended, and again the staff was so friendly and accommodating. The food, service and venue were just fantastic.

We had our wedding at Lakota's Farm in September 2018 and it was perfect! Kimberly and her team are absolutely amazing. They are organized, responsive, knowledgable, and hard-working. They put forth tremendous care and effort to ensure that we had a seamless and memorable day. We HIGHLY recommend them!!!

We could not love and recommend Lakota's Farm more!! My husband and I got married at the Wedding Barn in May this past spring, and it was an absolutely stunning day and experience.
First, Kimberly is the absolute BEST. She is filled with so much passion, positivity, and energy for what she does, not to mention incredible expertise and knowledge to help you plan the perfect wedding event for you and your partner! We were planning our wedding from afar, and Kimberly helped us iron out so many details, gave tons of recommendations for vendors, and helped us handle last minute issues with so much ease. I don't know how we could have done it without her!
Next, this venue is absolutely stunning, an unbelievable combination of rustic beauty and high end accommodations. The grounds are gorgeous, filled with so many wonderful nooks for guests to visit, take pictures, and plan special events throughout the day. My husband and I grew up with horses, and the authenticity of this barn was what immediately grabbed us. Yet, Kimberly hasn't left one stone unturned and has created a space that provides accommodations that make you feel like you're in an upscale downtown venue, while standing in the beauty of an outdoor farm and gorgeous wooden barn.
Our family and friends have been talking about our wedding and how much they loved the barn all summer!! You will not be disappointed if you book your wedding here. Kimberly makes you feel like family from the moment you start working with her, and we are so grateful we could start the next chapter of our lives in this amazing place.

Kim did such a great job helping us create the perfect wedding day. Not only did her and her husband let us rent out their barn for the day but Kim was there every step of the way to help answer any questions my family had and also give advice. Loved the bridal suite that my girls and myself got ready in as well as the bar and reception area. Everything came together so prefectly and I could tell my guests had such a great time! Also wanted to thank Kim and Alan both for bringing out their horse James Dean. My flower girl and ring bearer were so happy and he also helped make some awesome photos. Thank you for all your hard work!

Kim and Alan were amazing! The venue is gorgeous and the staff was so helpful! Kim was there to help with all the planning and I feel like she is my friend and not a venue owner! Her advice was priceless on so many levels and she thought of things i never would have!

Kimberly and Alan were excellent. They were perfect and we loved the beautiful horse, carriage, and tour! Definitely worth including them on the special day!

If you’re looking for a rustic/chic barn venue look no further. This venue comes fully equipped to handle the finest and simple wedding to the most grand. Kimberly is a generous soul who makes it her mission to give you the wedding day you deserve. We’ve gotten nothing g but compliments and dropped jaws in response to this venue.

In November 2018, my now husband and I booked our wedding at Lakota’s Farm for October 10th of 2020.After making three payments, we were hopeful and excited about our special day.
In May 2020 we contacted Kimberly Finney, the owner, and told her we needed to cancel. We, like so many others, were in the food service industry and both lost our jobs. We feared for the safety of ourselves and our 150 guests. She offered to move the date to 2021,however we were unsure about the state of the world a year away and also did not want to wait another year to be married (we ended up getting married in an intimate ceremony near our home).
Despite us citing the impossibility clause in her contract, Kimberly refused to give us any of our deposit back and we were forced to pursue the matter in court. A judge ruled awarding us the full amount less the non-refundable booking fee ,an amount totaling $7,750.
Even though Lakota continues to host weddings and events, at this time, we have not received any money back from Kimberly, and have been told by her attorney she had no assets! They cannot be trusted. Proceed with caution.
It is such a shame that our dream wedding venue ended up being a nightmare.
