The old barn dates back to the 1700s and is the perfect setting for a rustic country wedding. We stayed through Harvest Hosts, but they also rent cabins, a farmhouse, RV spots, and a glamping barn.

Back when my fiance and I were searching for our perfect venue to host our wedding, we already knew…read morewe wanted a barn themed wedding. We went to visit a few locations, and searched many more online for days on weeks. It was when we stumbled upon this venue that we knew our search was over. Owls Hoot Barn checked off every box we wanted in a wedding venue. There were even factors we had not necessarily considered in a venue that OHB was and to deliver without fail. The grounds of venue - gorgeous, the owner and her entire family/team - most amazing people you can find, decor and supplies - everything we wanted and needed, overall experience - exactly what you would expect when you think of a small piece of paradise/heaven! And this also includes the fact that our beloved pups were allowed to be on the grounds and partake in our special day! The owner of the venue, who was also our wedding coordinator, went above and beyond to help us arrange everything we needed to make it wedding perfect. Even going as far to come back on site for our rehearsal dinner during her own wedding anniversary! How many people would be willing to do that? Her passion for ensuring every couple out there sees their vision fulfilled is truly one that is undeniable and unique. We could not have pulled this off, let alone reduce our wedding planning stress significantly, without her help. My now wife, our current (and future pups) and myself now have found a place we don't just refer to as a hidden gem, but a small place we can call another home. For any future couples out there, whether you are considered local or coming from another state of the U.S. entirely, you will fall in love with OHB. My wife probably would think I shouldn't leave too long of a review as some people might think "that one is too long to read" but I can't help express how much we truly were blessed with this place...so much that even to this day we joke about doing it all over again just to relive our wedding weekend back in October 2025. For any current/future couples out there searching for a wedding venue in Hudson Valley, NY...this place should absolutely be #1 on your list!

Gorgeous venue to attend, HOWEVER…read more.. the rain setting (indoor) ceremony only had about 20-30 seats. Many guests were forced upstairs without a view of the bride and groom. Bridal party had to balance on the stairs for the ceremony. Truly a shame that about half the guests had to stand, had a limited or no view of the ceremony. The bathroom is also weird. Same bathroom for men and woman. Woman's stall had a full door but the men's had a salon style door that did not close and had no privacy. Not everyone is comfortable with that. I'd love to attend an outdoor ceremony, but the weather is unpredictable. It may be beneficial if there was a large white event tent that can be used for the rain and other outdoor events.

I attended a wedding here and was quite impressed with the charm of this venue. The location is…read morepretty, with cute country decor and a nice outdoor ceremony site, a nice rear deck for cocktail hour, and a two level interior for the reception. Down a flight of stairs is a small lounge with a pool table, where they also had a photo booth set up. One special feature here was that the bride arrived at the ceremony in a beautiful white horse-drawn carriage provided by the farm. It was a really nice touch. Post ceremony, the carriage reappeared to take the bride and groom away for photos during cocktail hour. Another shining point was the food. On-site smoked meats... Wow. The chicken and roast beef were particular amazing. Not just good, but excellent. All of the sides were also tasty, and the dessert spread was pretty impressive as well. A few downsides: there is no AC in the main part of the barn, only in the bedroom suite areas for the wedding party prep. This was a September wedding, but happened to fall on a day with near-record high temps, so even with fans running, we were all pretty uncomfortable until the sun finally went down. Also, there was no sign of a full bar on the premises, nor fountain soda or beer on tap. Bottles only. But, considering that Henry Hill Farm is new on the wedding scene, maybe they plan on making these upgrades at a later date. Overall, this is a very nice venue on pretty grounds with very friendly staff, excellent service, amazing meats, and a fun country vibe. Tip for the ladies: opt for flats, wedges, or block heals... but leave the stilettos at home. The walkway from the parking lot and areas around the barn are gravel, which isn't so stiletto-friendly.

Deb and Steve were so welcoming and helpful in answering all of our questions, and their property is absolutely gorgeous. You can see the years of love and care that have gone into maintaining their house and its surrounding land over generations. One of their adorable cats even hopped along with us on our tour! While we ended up going with a different event space, closer to our ceremony site, I would recommend Stonehouse Gardens to anyone looking for a unique and rustic place to host an event, particularly if you are looking to be in the natural beauty of the outdoors. There were so many areas of the property that would have been lovely for photos, it would have been almost impossible to choose!

For starters- Sam is a genius at decor. I said "I'm having a baby shower, it's a girl, the theme is baby in bloom" and she ran with it and blew my mind. That was ALL the direction I gave and the place looked GORGEOUS. Cindy kept the party going at a good pace, making sure we started food, cake and games running on time, which meant I didn't have to focus on that during the event and could mingle freely with my guests! It's a beautiful location with a lot of land- my sister brought her little dog and kids had a blast playing games on the lawn (the venue had corn hole and ladder ball). Theres a small lookout area where some of the guys smoked cigars and they also have a bar area (shout out to Dan at track 32 catering for their incredible bar and food). The ladies were super accommodating- they have a big walk in fridge so I could bring cake and flowers for the centerpieces the night before and then they put the flowers in the mason jar vases (again provided by the venue). They thought of everything- 2 photo areas, a gifts table, Bluetooth speakers with a mic set up, a table set up for food and for cake, and lots of smaller areas for guests to break off into smaller groups on the side. They were very responsive to their emails and cleaned everything up after. Like I said- they made it so easy for me! I can't thank them enough and can't recommend them enough

The owners Amy and Steve were super nice and helpful. My family and I went on Black Friday to purchase a pre-cut tree for $80. Currently, their trees are just babies and growing. They had two types of pre-cut trees to choose from; there were a few to choose from but we found the perfect tree! They had a vendor onsite making spiked hot chocolate, espresso martini, and various others. The interior of the barn was cozy with plenty of seating. There were plenty of items you can purchase in there, such as soap, honey, ornaments, etc. We got to pet the animals on the farm right outside, my children loved it. They also hosts events such as candle and ornament making, to name a couple. Overall, a lovely place to visit for events, purchase a Christmas tree, and even pet some farm animals!
