Wow...where to begin?! M&D Farm is such a special, singular place. It's simultaneously elevated and…read moreeffortlessly chic while remaining inviting, inclusive, and unpretentious. The owners, Mario and Daniel, have created such an incredible property, full of gorgeous flowers, pergolas, meadows, a pond, a stunning barn right out of 'Home and Garden' magazine, and an al fresco dining area that could be right out of the Mediterranean. In fact, the whole farm transports you from the Catskills to an English garden in the Cotswolds or a French retreat in Provence.
After getting engaged this spring, my fiance and I knew we wanted to get married somewhere in upstate NY. As a journalist, I can be an obsessive researcher, and, after poring through websites, Instagrams, and wedding resources, looking at countless venues in the area, it was clear that M&D was unique. Nowhere will you find a venue as lush and beautiful as what you'll find there. Every detail is considered, every space on the property feels special.
And, not only are the grounds spectacular, Mario and Daniel are amazing proprietors and wedding week coordinators (not only do I HIGHLY recommend hosting your wedding at M&D but I highly recommend you hire Mario and Daniel as coordinators). They were super communicative, personable, collaborative, and professional from start-to-finish. My fiance and I planned our wedding in only 4 months and we could not have pulled it off without their help. Additionally, they have a great list of trusted vendors, which took a lot of stress off the planning. Their attention to detail, design eye, and hospitality advice was incredibly helpful and meant that on our wedding day, the event was flawless. Truly.
I only wish my husband and I could get married all over again at M&D -- it really is that special. I wholeheartedly recommend hosting your wedding at this extraordinary venue.
