Such a beautiful location and a hidden gem! The hosts were incredibly kind and made us feel right at home. 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. The property also has a wood-fired sauna, cold plunge, and a creekside swimming hole--such a relaxing and memorable stay! read more

Back when my fiance and I were searching for our perfect venue to host our wedding, we already knew we 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! read more

Kerri and Owls Hoot Barn are truly a slice of New York State that everyone should experience at least once in their life. My wife and I got married here in October 2025, and we cannot stop chasing the feeling of that day. Kerri is a true master of her craft. Every single detail--big and small--is thoughtfully planned and executed with care. From the moment you step onto the property, you can feel the intention behind everything she's created. Nothing feels overlooked, rushed, or generic. It's clear that this isn't just a venue for Kerri--it's a labor of love. For my groomsmen and me, being at the barn was also an incredible way to truly connect with nature. Between the grounds, the setting, and the atmosphere, it was the perfect place to slow down and be present leading into such a meaningful weekend. We highly recommend renting the sauna for the weekend and hitting the natural cold plunge--it was an unforgettable experience and a highlight for all of us. With the many lodging options available, it was amazing to have our closest friends and family all staying right on the grounds. Being able to spend so much time together made the entire weekend feel even more special and intimate. We find ourselves trying to get back to the barn as much as we can, just to walk the grounds and relive our special day. There's something incredibly grounding and nostalgic about being there; it instantly transports us back to the joy, love, and magic we felt on our wedding day. Owls Hoot Barn is more than just a wedding venue--it's an experience, a feeling, and a place that stays with you long after the day is over. Run--don't walk--to lock in your future special day! read more

Our wedding at Owl's Hoot Barn was pure magic. It felt like stepping into a fairytale surrounded by rustic charm and natural beauty. One of the most special parts was the 15 minutes my wife and I had alone in the conservatory right after the ceremony, enjoying appetizers and our signature cocktails before seeing our guests. That quiet moment together was unforgettable. Kerri and her team are an absolute dream to work with. They are warm, communicative, and so thoughtful. Their wedding weekend flexibility made everything stress-free, including helping us plan a beautiful backup ceremony spot when the grass was too wet for our original location. The cottages on the property offer incredible on-site accommodations, each uniquely decorated and perfect for family and friends to stay in, making the weekend feel like a cozy retreat. The vendors Kerri works with were incredible, and our taco truck party, dinner, and brunch all went seamlessly. Our Gothic forest-inspired theme came to life in the most breathtaking way. Owl's Hoot Barn is also an LGBTQ+ friendly venue, which meant so much to us and made us feel completely welcomed and celebrated. Owl's Hoot Barn is a true gem, and we could not have imagined a more perfect place to start our forever. read more

The photos absolutely do NOT do this place justice! Owl's Hoot Barn is an incredibly *clean* and beautiful property that left our entire group speechless. The cabins are upscale and boutique chic - there's simply no other way to describe the level of hospitality / sophistication we were able to create here thanks to the host, Kerri other than PERFECT. Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness are unmatched - she truly thinks of everything even on site and in the accommodations (I even noticed the light switches were beautiful antiques) and she made us feel completely taken care of throughout our stay. The level of service and care provided is unlike anything we've experienced elsewhere. This is a place where you can create freely the event or wedding of your dreams. Location was IDEAL. It's safe. Not far at all from Hudson charm but you still feel like you've escaped the hustle and bustle. This property has incredible creative potential, especially for weddings. Every single person was raving about it in our 50-person group and many asking about hosting their own wedding here because the versatility is remarkable. Whether you're dreaming of an immersive outdoor celebration with clear streams, willow trees and lush wild-flowering botanicals or the complete opposite end of the spectrum, this venue can accommodate most any vision. There are countless charming areas throughout the property that are either already incredibly chic or have enormous creative potential waiting to be unlocked. The space management is perfection. Our group of 50 felt perfectly accommodated - not too crowded, not too sparse. The layout creates an intimate yet spacious atmosphere that feels just right; whether you're large or small group it will feel seamless and cohesive (whereas other corporate event spaces can feel like a lot of wasted space and make your event look dwarfed.) We hosted a culinary immersive event and utilized nine completely different areas on the property - each with its own unique character and ambiance. And that wasn't even half of what's available! The possibilities here are truly endless. As world travelers, we can honestly say this is a place we would choose for our own vacation simply because we enjoyed it so much. Owl's Hoot Barn isn't just an event venue - it's a dream destination that delivers an unforgettable experience. And there's tons of electricity available and wifi... YAY!!! Highly recommend for anyone considering hosting events or weddings. We're already hoping to plan our next event here very soon! read more

My husband and I got married at Owls Hoot Barn in July, and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our day! The venue is absolutely beautiful, with gorgeous grounds to wander and enjoy. Being there feels like stepping into a cozy, rustic setting filled with charm, history, and so much natural beauty. The venue is run by Kerri, who we also hired as our wedding planner, and she was truly amazing! You always hear about wedding days being stressful or full of little hiccups, but thanks to Kerri, we didn't have a single worry. From all the planning leading up to the big day, to her calm, organized support on the day itself, everything ran so smoothly and allowed us to fully relax and enjoy every moment. Our guests absolutely raved about the venue as well. They loved exploring the grounds, soaking in the scenery, and mingling with one another, which really added to the overall experience and atmosphere of the day. Another thing we love is that Kerri hosts a variety of events at the barn throughout the year, so it's not just a one-time visit. You'll always have a reason to come back, revisit the space, and relive the magic of such a special place! We truly couldn't have asked for a more amazing venue or a kinder, more wonderful person to help us along our wedding journey. Owls Hoot Barn will always hold such a special place in our hearts! read more

If there were more stars available, I would give Kerry and her venue, owls hoot barn all the stars in the world! My husband and I got married there and it was everything and more!! We had 3 events across 2 days with a 150 guests. Not only is the venue beautiful but it also has cottages on property that Kerry and her family renovated and decorated beautifully for our immediate families stayed in. Kerry is such a thorough wedding planner and ran the show to the T! Our families and us were completely stress free and got the best best memories to cherish forever read more

We attended a wedding there yesterday. What a beautiful place!!! The staff was friendly and attentive. I can't say enough about how beautiful the grounds and buildings are. I'm looking forward to attending other special events there in the future. We may just have to make up a reason to have a party there. Love, love, love Owls Hoot Barn!! read more

What started off as wedding venue hunting turned into a perfect intimate engagement proposal at the Owls Hoot Barn's newest Conservatory. After my fiancé had proposed the month before, I knew from my first phone call with Kerri that I had made the right choice in choosing her to help plan my turn to propose. We ended up being the first engagement at the Conservatory and her excitedness and eagerness when I asked if I could arrange a surprise proposal while we were set to tour the venue, made me confident that I was in good hands. After having to quickly take advantage of a last minute opening in my fiancé's very busy schedule, in a matter of three days Kerri was able to set up a perfect mediterranean-style dinner for two with a champagne toast along with a photographer in the picturesque, window filled Conservatory. Afterwards we were able to spend the night in the nest cabin and had so much fun taking in the views from the hot tub. Although our very large Long Island wedding guest list didn't end up being logistical to host at the property, I am very grateful to have incorporated and made a lasting memory at the Owls Hoot Barn. I know we will definitely be back to visit. read more

Owls Hoot Barn - Scenic barns - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - West Coxsackie, New York

Jodi & Ny - October 29, 2022 Owls Hoot Barn is a special venue and truly exceeded our expectations. We knew within the first few minutes of arriving at Owls Hoot that this would be where we wanted to host our wedding; the more we walked around the property, the more excited we became about that possibility. We ended up grabbing the very last weekend available for the following Fall, confirming it within a few minutes of leaving the venue as we were completely certain on our choice. We developed a friendship with Kerri, who took a special interest in helping us tailor our ideal wedding and was available to us before, during, and after our wedding; and we can't emphasize enough how important having that relationship has been to us. Kerri is a wonderful and caring person, and she cares deeply about the experience she helps create for her guests. We have made several weekend trips up to Owls Hoot, twice prior to our wedding, with the excuse of doing some early planning, but primarily to relax and immerse ourselves in the beautiful property before the big day. We also made a return trip, post-wedding, just after our first wedding anniversary, a great way to celebrate our special day and a tradition we intend to continue as best we can. Also, each time we visit, Kerri surprises us with new additions or work being done on the property, a real plus for both new and returning guests. We're so happy we found this place and we can't imagine a better venue than Owls Hoot for a rustic barn wedding. Our whole experience was truly special and we look forward to our return trips in the years ahead. read more

"The wedding of the year." We heard that from those at Owls Hoot Barn and other Coxsackie business owners around town. And it was a dream come true. Owls Hoot Barn makes for the perfect wedding venue. Starting with the airbnbs on the property for family, friends, and us, the wedding couple, the barn-style homes were the perfect location to host our closest loved ones, get ready for the big day, share special meals, and make the weekend memorable. We had access to the entire venue for the weekend, including the hot tubs, sauna, fire pits, cold plunge in the stream, and gorgeous scenery, and our family was in awe of the beauty surrounding us during this perfect fall foliage weekend. From the ceremony location (we chose the Willows by a nearby babbling brook), to the welcome barn, the cocktail reception under the pavilion, the piano lounge, and the main reception barn, the place was decked out with mood lighting, flowers, and a country atmosphere. Everything went off without a hitch. Even the weather held out. Kerri, the owner, and our event planner, did a stellar job making sure everything was taken care of. She knows the ins and outs of this venue, and no stone was unturned. From the first day we met her about a year before the big day, until our wedding, she was always available and sharing things we needed to do or talk about as the time came. And she's happy to invite you to the barn throughout the year to talk through and see things you may want to consider. On the day of the wedding, she took care of our vendors (caterer, shuttle service, photographer, florist, baker, rabbi, etc.) and made sure everyone had what they needed to ensure a perfect event. The fire pit at the end of the evening was the icing on the cake. It was fun to change into comfortable clothes and enjoy s'mores with guests outside after the music ended. A few tips. We had access to a big barn that had all the little extras you need to make a splash. If you plan to use this venue, which we highly recommend, take inventory early on so you don't purchase items she already has. Unlike a hotel, the a la carte items at the venue allow you to choose exactly what you want or don't want, so be sure to see the menu early on so there are no surprises. While it adds a little to the cost, the flexibility makes it worth it. These items include silverware, vintage glassware, cake knives, serving pieces, heaters, and more. Overall, if you're looking for a barn in the Catskills, look no further. It was the first of five venues we looked at, and we were so happy with our choice. Thanks to Kerri and all her help throughout the year of planning, our wedding will be one we'll always remember. read more

Owl's Hoot Barn checked all of our boxes for our wedding. We were able to host our immediate families on the property for a whole 4 nights, have an intimate ceremony and 100 person reception. The property and airbnbs are beyond beautiful. The only downsides are the frustrations prior to the wedding and if we had not been out of season and a Monday wedding we would not have been able to afford it. The pricing structure and organization of the venue is extremely confusing, very hard to budget for and frustrating at times. We work in the event/wedding industry and still had a very difficult time keeping things straight. read more

We had our wedding at Owl's Hoot Barn in October and it was more beautiful and more perfect than we could have ever imagined! Kerri, the owner, does this in her sleep and she was so helpful with getting local venders (everything from the in-house caterer, a school bus to shuttle guests, a local DJ, an AMAZING local photographer, and more!). She has a whole barn worth of decorations for you to choose from to personalize your wedding. And the grounds are so beautiful and make the perfect backdrop to a wedding. We cannot recommend this venue enough! It's so hard to find an affordable barn wedding in Upstate New York and we somehow stumbled across the perfect venue that worked with our tight budget. And - being able to have all of the wedding weekend actives on the grounds was icing on the cake. Our guests have not stopped talking about how much fun they had! 10/10 would recommend! OHB staff was excellent!! read more

Owls Hoot Barn was the perfect location for us to have our dream wedding weekend on 5/20/23, and to say it was the best weekend of our lives would be an understatement!! Kerri, who not only owns the barn but did our full weekend wedding planning, was the absolute best to work with! She kept us on track with planning, connected us with vendors that fit our vision and our budget (which saved us thousands of dollars and hours of research), and was the biggest reason our entire weekend was perfect from start to finish. The venue itself is a dream, the grounds are simply stunning, the patio is the perfect place for cocktail hour, and the barn itself is so cool and unique- and all of these different locations allow for a lot of flexibility with your event. We hosted our welcome party in the welcome barn and the back patio on Friday night, complete with wood fired pizzas and Kerri's camper to serve beer and wine out of. Our guests gushed all night about the beauty of the venue and the grounds. Our wedding took place on Saturday, and we would not have changed a thing about it, even though the weather chose not to cooperate for our ceremony! Our initial vision was to have an outdoor ceremony, which Kerri and her entire team had set up. Their flexibility is unparalleled as 30 minutes before the ceremony it began to rain heavily; Kerri and co were able to move the ceremony to the patio and it was absolutely perfect, picturesque (see pictures below!) and still ran on time thanks to the endless hard work of the team. One of our other favorite features of the barn is the many rental houses directly on the property. This allowed our wedding party and close friends to be steps away from us at all times. The houses themselves are beautifully and eclectically decorated, making them a dream for getting ready photographs and for taking post-ceremony portraits (also, see below!). Our other favorite feature is the shed full of wedding décor that we utilized for all of our events. We were able to create our seating chart from a huge windowpane in the shed, pulled candles, vases, table numbers, and books for our centerpieces--which was a big money saver and also very sustainable! We also hosted our farewell brunch on the back patio on Sunday morning, and again our guests had so many compliments for the space and the event. Kerri worked tirelessly the entire weekend to make sure every detail was perfect, and we could not be more appreciative. Overall, if you are looking for a unique venue with beautiful landscapes where you can host a full-weekend getaway, houses to host your friends and family onsite, have multiple hotel options within a five minute drive, and a space where you will not only get the most beautiful photos that you will cherish forever, but also a space where you will have the time of your life, please look no further than Owls Hoot Barn. read more

We just had our wedding here on Sept 28th and it was a whole experience in the best possible way. I HIGHLY recommend doing the full weekend buyout which is what we did. This venue is unlike any other. Restored barns and houses for guest accomodations from the 1800s!!! The character is unmatched i promise you won't find anything like it at any of the other barn venues in the hudson valley. There are houses and cabins and campers on site to sleep 30 guests and hotels are 5 minutes away. Every guest that was staying on site was blown away at the amenities and it truly made this feel like a big family vacation for 3 days. Kerri, the owner, is so accommodating and her talent and organization is absolutely mind blowing. She and her team are a well oiled machine and our day went off without a hitch. Her sense of design alone is your 1800s cottage dream. All reclaimed antique furniture and fixtures. She is so generous and helpful to everyone, very flexible and responsive, kind and knowledgeable. I can assure you won't be disappointed. She has a great variety of preferred vendors she can recommend you to since she has so many years of experience doing this. All of our guests said this was a wedding they will always remember and definitely stood out from all the others. I can confidently contribute that to the venue and the weekend experience Kerri gave us and our guests. I honestly can not say enough good things about this venue and Kerri!! Her service and venue are unmatched!! read more

Such a beautiful venue for our October 2021 wedding! We got so many compliments from our guests. Everything was right there on the property (ceremony site, reception site, houses for us to stay in), which made everything so convenient. The property was perfect for our photos. Kerri (the owner) was so wonderful every step of the way and made everything so much easier on us! I highly recommend this as a venue if you're looking for a beautiful rustic spot. read more

My husband and I had our 40th anniversary party last weekend at Owls Hoot Barn with 80 of our family and friends. The owner, Kerri, worked with our three children in the selection of the caterer, the menu, and activities for our guests - since 30 stayed over in Kerri's quaint cabins and beautifully restored main house. Our guests ranged from toddlers to 85 and the barn accommodated them all beautifully. So many bathrooms! What a luxury. The caterer said the gourmet kitchen was perfectly equipped. Owls Hoot Barn even has a wood fired pizza oven on-site which our caterer used for cocktail hour making farm to table gourmet Pizzas. Then the main dishes kept coming. Excellent! I love the barns main dining area - big spacious farm tables, lovely dance door though my favorite is the outdoor pavilion that is massive with a beautiful bluestone floor, charming tables for six and leather couches. Its perfect for intimate discussions and family pictures. We could've slept out there. So perfect. Instead, we slept in the bridal cabin - which has 2 floors with a charming kitchen, cozy living room with a fireplace and upstairs bedroom and bath (claw foot tub and all). Our guests stayed in the other cabins and were very happy. They loved the shabby chic decorating in each cabin. We played lawn games, the kids swam in the creek, and enjoyed an amazing brunch the next day In the pavilion. We are thrilled that our children picked the perfect location that satisfied all of our needs and far more than we even knew we'd like. This is what the owner, Kerri at Owls Hoot Barn, masters - reading our minds in what we want with us not having to say a word -- and she does this so effortlessly. We're going to rent the place annually for family reunions. We love it. More than super abundantly satisfied with Owls Hoot Barn!!! read more

Everything about this place is exceptional. I have been to a few events here and the attention to detail and picturesque setup is pure magic. The landscape is beautiful and the barn is charming. Everywhere you look, it is a picture in itself. The food was also out of this world! So fresh, well prepared, and presented. All put together by the most friendly staff. I highly recommend! read more

From the moment we set foot on Owls Hoot Barn, we were blown away by the attention to detail and beauty of the space. Kerri, the owner, has thought of absolutely everything and every inch of the venue is carefully and thoughtfully decorated. The barn is stunningly gorgeous and though it feels and looks rustic, it's perfectly outfitted for a wedding dinner and party. The various outdoor ceremony spaces are gorgeous and are surrounded by wildflowers and trees. The covered cocktail hour area is the perfect space for passed apps and drinks outside (and it's an excellent back up area for the ceremony should it rain) and the bonfire that OHB takes care of was an amazing end to our wedding. Best of all, there is a lovely cabin we had access to starting on the Wednesday before our wedding and our whole family and bridal party was able to stay in the gorgeous farmhouse and the two Airbnb's that are part of the property starting on the Thursday before. Because of this, we were able to kick off of our wedding days in advance with our loved ones. Kerri helps to make planning seamless. She has a dedicated list of vendors she recommends, but is welcoming to anyone new you bring on. She's ALWAYS available if you have questions and is endlessly helpful and friendly. She has a storage area filled with decor (mason jars, burlap runners, milk crates, lights, lanterns, signage, etc) that you are welcome to use. It saved us hundreds of dollars and everything we borrowed looked fabulous. She also has all of the chairs, tables, plates, cutlery, glasses, napkins, etc. you'll need so you don't have to outsource anything except a caterer, photographer, and DJ. If you are the type of bride (like me) who did not want to pick out napkins but still enjoys a little DIY set up, this is a great space for you. This is really a special place and I feel so lucky that I got married at OHB. I am eternally grateful to Kerri for helping to make our day so magical. I can honestly say I wouldn't change a thing. read more

My siblings and I chose this venue to host our parents 40th anniversary. The owner Kerri Corrigan was unbelievably accommodating and thoughtful throughout the entire process of planning. She even gave us recommendations for the caterer who made some of the best pizza and other farm to table dishes we've had in NY. The venue itself is stunning, spacious, and gives you plenty of options to do. We enjoyed lawn games, a bonfire, scenery perfect for pictures, etc. We couldn't be happier with how our parents anniversary ended and Kerri was extremely important in making that happen! All and all, my parents told us we should book her place for any large gatherings that we have planned! read more

Look NO further. OHB was the most magical, wonderful, amazing, accommodating, perfect venue for our September wedding. Some highlights: Multiple beautiful outdoor ceremony locations to choose from, covered patio for cocktail hour (doubles as rain location for ceremony, if need be), gorgeous barn interior for dinner and dancing (all lighting included and already set up), nooks and crannies all over the place for guests to explore, dreamy decor everywhere you turn your head (saves you a TON on having to curate your own vintage barn feel, as this is literally what OHB is). Great local list of vendor recommendations. Late-night bonfire is included, which was an extra perk. One of the best parts of OHB is the access you have to the grounds prior to your big day. Many venues allow you to come in the day before your wedding. OHB gives you the property starting on the Wednesday afternoon before your big weekend. Why would you want to be there so early, you might ask? Because there are no less than five properties that you can rent for your family and best friends to stay. Who wants a wedding day when you can have a wedding week?! We had houses for the bride's family, groom's family, wedding party, as well as some extra spaces for guests to rent. This meant we started the party a few days early and got to spend meaningful time with those closest to us (lawn games, anyone?). We held our rehearsal dinner and farewell brunch on the property and would not have done a single thing differently. Our families loved the ease of being on site, and it made setting up a whole lot easier (and more fun!) when you could just roll out of bed and over to the barn. Speaking of setting up, the property has a 'decor barn' filled with items they've collected and those that have been left behind. And you have access to everything. There are jars & vases galore, signage, suitcases, books, table numbers, photo frames-- the list goes on. You could decorate your entire day with things that are already on site and included in the venue's cost. Kerri (owner) and Molly (our coordinator) were very responsive and were responsible for the perfection of the day. They put so much attention into making sure we had the weekend of our lives, and I trusted them completely. They were a perfect balance of guidance while allowing us to make all the tweaks we wanted. Our photographer/videographer loved the details scattered around the property. Our photos are dynamite thanks not only to their incredible talent, but to the vibe and offerings of OHB. There's also a creek that runs through the property and is not only pretty, but refreshing if you are into a wedding-morning dip with your bridesgals! ;) There are a couple of nearby hotels, and the venue is only 30 min from Albany airport (and more hotels). We had a shuttle that made stops at a few spots and got everyone to the ceremony and then took them home at the end of the night. I grew up in the Hudson Valley and now live in California, and can't imagine having planned a wedding from 3000 miles away anywhere else. The ease of this place is worth it. So much is included with this venue. You could just show up with your guests and have the most amazing weekend. Thank you!!! Can't wait to spend a future anniversary at the property :) read more

My husband and I got married a few weeks ago at Owls Hoot Barn and it was a dream. We were thrilled with Kerri's transparency and helpfulness throughout the process. She is available to you and a true shepherd of creative vision. We got so many compliments on the property itself; there are many nooks and crannies for folks to hang out in, and it makes for a simply gorgeous backdrop for your wedding photography. If we could do it all again (and we wish we could!) we would do everything exactly the same and work with Kerri over and over! read more

Don't have enough great things to say about Kerri (venue owner and day of coordinator- which I highly recommend) and OHB. Booked ~1.5 years in advance for my October wedding after looking at barn venues in the area. The beauty is that you have a ton of flexibility on how you want to do your Big Day. There's only one wedding a week, and you can stay at the on-site bridal suite (a romantic little cabin) the Wed night prior to your wedding. Check out Sunday. If you're looking for a barn, but are worried about renting a total raw space, OHB should be your pick. The venue isn't that old, and that means beautiful bathrooms (haha... but seriously). And furthermore, the venue includes many of your rentals - beautiful farm tables, chairs, silverware, etc (we ended up renting ours based on our caterer's preference), proper electrical (seriously!), a shed full of furniture, lawn games, other decor - both bought by the venue and donated by previous brides. If you don't want to spend hours looking through, don't worry, there's a network of people to help! I would not describe myself as DIY but wanted a very, unique, original look that required DIY and got all the help I needed. The staff at OHB went above and beyond to ensure that I was happy and all the details were on-point. Everything is here, except for the food! (You need an off site caterer). There are beautiful grounds - on the rustic, unmanicured side. I felt that the ground were so pretty any season you didn't need to do much floral wise to the outside area. There are so many ceremony choices as well - from a beautiful bridge over a creek, to a tree with a swing, to another tree stage area. Includes a shuttle from nearby accommodations to run people to and from the wedding (parking is limited), as well as a bonfire. And I just adore Kerri. She was a Godsend from managing our event to making recs about local vendors. We were blessed to work with her- she is so professional, prompt and client oriented! read more

The BEST decision we made for our wedding was choosing to get married at Owls Hoot Barn. I don't even know where to begin - the venue itself is GORGEOUS and Kerri and her team worked so hard to make our (slightly chilly) outdoor rehearsal dinner and ceremony comfortable and beautiful for our guests (they were even moving tables and food around during cocktail hour to make sure guests to access all the amazing appetizers we have!). Having our wedding party and family stay on-site was such an incredible experience (Kerri's Airbnb houses are beautiful!) and we loved doing a post-wedding bonfire. Molly of Graceful Occasions was the best planner and day-of coordinator, making our lives easy day-of, coordinating vendors, and just being so all around helpful, flexible, and enthusiastic. We cannot recommend Owls Hoot enough - it is a truly special and memorable spot! read more

I would say this was the most authentic barn wedding experience I've had. A very demure looking barn facade, but with an expansive yard, which made for my friend's outdoor ceremony absolutely stunning. Once on the inside of the barn, where the reception took place, the space is absolutely beautiful, with all the wooden beams exposed and lending itself to that classic barn look. The floors were strong and sturdy and the room accommodated the large wedding party of about 150-200 guests (estimate). The tables were all real, solid wood, and tasteful. The bathrooms, luckily not port-a-potties, were kept very clean, and the staff at Owls Hoot were always very nice and gracious. It was a truly memorable and beautiful experience and this environment and surroundings of the barn really take credit for that. read more

My wedding at Owls Hoot Barn was AMAZING! We spent a long weekend there and I honestly did not want to leave. Our wedding was so beautiful and so perfect. Kerri has thought of everything! Beautiful farmhouse tables and chairs, lots of lighting, gorgeous vintage China and silverware. A garage full of decor options, a kitchen full of equipment and glassware. You get to use all of this stuff!!! It's unbelievable. There is a bridal suite on site and multiple beautiful ceremony spots. It's just the perfect place. No required vendors!! I can't say enough good things about this place and can't wait to see what the future holds for this magical wedding venue! read more

See all

On May 26, 2019 my niece was married here. It's a very nice venue. The cocktail party the night before and the wedding ceremony and reception was wonderful. It was a buffet venue. The food was very tasty. The weather on the day of the wedding couldn't have been better.....it was in the 80's. Carrie, the owner, does a great job! read more

Attended a Taste of the Hudson Valley at Owls Hoot Barn and loved the setting and venue. The owner has attended to every detail and works hard to encourage all visiting vendors and make everyone comfortable. The amount of work and polishing that has gone into this venue is impressive and worth a visit. The owner and operator will make sure you have everything you need. It was an enjoyable afternoon. read more

You would be hard-pressed to find a better barn wedding venue than Owls Hoot Barn. The barn is gorgeous as is- and a canvas for you to create your dream wedding. We can't recommend this venue enough. Additionally, we hired the owner (Kerri Corrigan) as our coordinator as well. She did an amazing job. She was communicative, organized, and graceful. She has been doing this for a long time, and you can tell. She knows how to handle everything that comes your way, and helps relieve stress in the process. On the day of the wedding, we even had guests tell us how impressed with her they were. She made sure everything went smoothly. The barn is simply the perfect place for a wedding. The lawn is pristine, the wildflowers are breathtaking, and the barn itself is a masterpiece. The accessibility is great, even for members of our family that normally have trouble getting around. This place has something for everyone. Many beautiful areas to hangout, and spots to have your ceremony. The possibilities are endless. One of the best parts was that we got to start staying at the bridal cabin since the Wednesday prior to our wedding. This gave us time to have a pre-honeymoon of sorts. We were able to settle in and feel comfortable and set everything up without being rushed. After everything came to a close on that Sunday, we were sad to leave. We wish we could relive our wedding day over again, thanks to Kerri and Owls Hoot Barn. read more

My fiance and I were excited to have our wedding at Owl's Hoot Barn. We had paid about half of the total cost of the venue and had all of our vendors chosen and most of them paid before Covid struck. Kerri was not flexible at all and would not provide a refund despite the historic situation and the fact that large gatherings were not allowed. All of our other vendors, on the other hand, were understanding and provided refunds. My fiance and I highly suggest you avoid working with Kerri during Covid. If anything changes with the situation with the virus and you are no longer able to hold the wedding or are fearful for the health of your family and guests you will not get your money back. read more

This will be a long review as I want other brides to get the details they need! I am sadly back from our wonderful long wedding weekend at Owls Hoot Barn in West Coxsackie. It was more amazing than I could have hoped! We had around a year and a half to plan our wedding, and I found Owls Hoot Barn by searching on catering websites. It was still being renovated and had never held a wedding, but we checked it out in mid August 2013 in person with my in-laws. It was a total construction site, but I saw the vision that the owner, Kerri Corrigan, saw, and I am so glad that we chose it. It looks MARVELOUS! Kerri did a fantastic job renovating every inch of it, and it's so rustic and charming and not overdone Throughout the year of planning, Kerri kept us and the other couples up to date on renovations, and answered any questions I had promptly. She was super friendly and knowledgeable. I was doing all of the wedding planning myself, and she helped it feel more manageable just with her advice and answers to my questions. It also helped that the venue is turn-key. We went to the grand reveal this past May and it blew our minds how different it was. We arrived on Wednesday for our long weekend of fun! I brought all of these decorations, but I barely needed to use them because the venue is already so pretty and all these lights were hung already. There is also a big storage cabin filled with even more lights, mason jars, barrels, baskets, lanterns of all shapes and sizes, candles, everything we could need for additional decorations was there to use. We had our siblings and some of our cousins staying with us on site and everyone had the best weekend. It was a vacation, even with the set-up work. Every day we played lawn games and hung out outside. We sat by the bonfire at night. The surrounding area was gorgeous. The wedding went off without a hitch. We were also able to hire a staff person, Amanda, who knew the venue and she handled all the trash, lights, bathroom, cleanup. It was very helpful. Kerri was also on hand the day of the wedding making sure things went okay. We rented the farm tables and cocktail tables that Kerri had built and they were lovely. It was great having those on site instead of having to get all rentals delivered. There was additional furniture scattered around that we could use wherever we wanted. We got flowers from Flower Blossom Farm in Ghent, NY, but we also picked lots of wild flowers that were growing around the property (there is a lovely little path behind the pavilion where you can walk and look at the stream and plants). There are so many locations on the site for hanging out. The basement is lovely, the pavilion is a fantastic outdoor space, the small bar area under one of the cabins we hung out in constantly, the big field with the bonfire was great for lawn games and running around, the bridge and the stream were so beautiful, and the barn itself was magnificent! The onsite bathrooms are also great, because we didn't have to rent them. They were clean, and there was plenty of them. Also, it was wonderful that the venue included transportation to shuttle our guests back and forth so they wouldn't have to drive. First Student Inc. (the bus company) did a wonderful job! I also loved the bridal cabin. It had a kitchen and huge bathroom, and was so cute inside. The first night, a group of us just hung out around the kitchen table. It was a nice escape every evening after a day of socializing. I loved that we could stay on site with some of our family. We wanted a wedding that would last more than a night, where we could hang out with family and friends multiple days, and we didn't feel rushed, like it was passing too quickly. This was our dream. It was unforgettable! read more

Owls Hoot Barn was the first and only wedding venue my husband and I checked out because we immediately fell in love. We had our hearts set on a rustic fall wedding and what better backdrop could we ask for than the rich fall foliage and romantic barn on Kerri's property? Kerri has so much knowledge of the surrounding area and an extensive vendor list, which was so helpful while planning. The property was perfect for us because we wanted somewhere we could have both our ceremony and our reception to limit travel and maximize time enjoying the day. Even better still that the venue has Air BnB's on-site and nearby, which we rented out so that we could spend the days leading up to our wedding building our excitement for our big day while setting up with the venue's many decorations and enjoying quality time with our families. There were so many options for our ceremony location, both outdoors and indoors, as the entire property is so beautiful and unique. You literally cannot take a bad picture there. Kerri was so flexible and responsive when we changed our minds last minute about our ceremony spot. Our guests are still talking about how gorgeous the property and barn were. Kerri was so kind, helpful, and personable that it felt more like working with a friend than a venue owner, which made the experience much more relaxed. Owls Hoot Barn is the absolute perfect place for your dream barn wedding and we could not recommend it more! read more

The planning portion of my wedding reminded me a lot of the movie "Father of the Bride" where my dad was Steve Martin and all I wanted was a Franck Eggelhoffer (Martin Short) - if you have ever seen the movie you know what I am talking about. For most of the planning portion I did not have a wedding planner and did it all myself (A LOT of work!!). However, I work in the fashion/events in NYC so I figured I could handle it. I knew the day of my wedding I wanted it to be perfect where I didn't have to think about a single thing other than being happy! I got married in October 2013 at the Belvedere Mansion in Rhinbeck, NY. I had a lot of small details that had to be taken care of the day of on the grounds and when I mentioned my concerns they immediately recommended Kerri Corrigan - and boy were they right! Kerri was the best thing that could have happened to my wedding day and the weeks/days following up to our big day. Kerri had a solution for everything. She helped me put together a run-of-show/itinerary for the entire weekend - it was awesome and totally necessary! When I called her a few days before almost in tears about how I hated my florist she knew exactly what to say/do to fix the situation. Then a few days before I found out my photobooth company went out of business and I couldn't get in contact with anyone - Kerri had a back-up just in case they didn't get back to us in time (which they finally did a few days before). The day of Kerri made sure that photobooth arrived and was on-time! She helped my mom and mother-in-law with lacing up and bustling my dress (which was quite the project), organized my bridal party and dealt with all the vendors. As I was walking out to walk down the aisle I realized I didn't have lip-gloss on...Kerri to the rescue....She had some in her back pocket, put it on my lips, told me to blot and off we went. Kerri stayed late and came early - I wanted to get her a drink so she could rest because she was running around like crazy but she was too professional to do that and kept going until everything went off without a hitch. I literally sat back and enjoyed the best day of my life. My husband, my family and I HIGHLY recommend Kerri - she always went the extra mile - AMAZING! She has since opened her own venue with her sister - Owls Hoot Barn....I can only imagine how efficiently run the place is if Kerri is involved! Looks absolutely beautiful online! read more

Just attended a wedding here as part of the bridal party. We stayed the weekend and I can't say enough lovely things about Owls Hoot Barn and Kerri. She was attentive and so detail oriented with everything that came up. Even more amazing though, was this beautiful property! There were so many unique spaces for arrival, the ceremony, cocktail hour, the reception, the bridal suite...It was amazing. I know the bride and groom were thrilled and everyone who attended had a wonderful time. I highly recommend the Owls Hoot Barn!! read more

We had the honor of being Owl Hoot''s first wedding. Kerri's insight to the wedding process, her concentration on the the details, and her vision for perfection were spot on. The property is gorgeous, the accommodations comfortable, the owners generous with their time, and their "accessories". If you are looking for the perfect venue for a wedding, or other event, look no further, Owls Hoot Barn is the place! read more

OHB was one of the last venues we looked at and the moment we pulled onto the property we knew this was the place we were going to get married at. If you are looking for a unique and magical venue, OHB is the place! Kerri, the owner, keeps the ground in impeccable shape, the barn is stunning, and it comes with a covered pavilion area for the cocktail hour. Another plus are the accommodations on-site! Kerri owns some of the houses next to the barn and completely renovated the homes to make them the perfect place to stay. We rented all the houses on the property and had our family and our bridal party stay on-site - it was just so perfect! Kerri is amazing to work with and will ensure your day is spectacular and memorable. She sends out a list of vendors in the area and helps make the stressful task of wedding planning so much easier. Our wedding was the best day ever. We would chose this venue and working with Kerri 1,000 times over. Thank you Kerri and OHB for making the wedding of our dreams comes to life!!! read more

My wife & I hired Kerri Corrigan, wedding planner, to help plan our marriage ceremony & reception at a barn in Hudson, New York last June. Kerri now has her own place since then - Owls Hoot Barn - and I had to write a review. Kerri is one of the most thorough, patient people I've ever met. She led us with care & precision every step of the way & the fact that she now has her own Barn & Wedding venue to offer is absolutely incredible! As an NYC couple (Manhattan & Queens raised, but living in Brooklyn during the wedding planning), Kerri & her trusted contacts were INVALUABLE! One of the best examples is that we were looking to hire a gent (or lady) with a vintage car that could have the car at our wedding for pics & then drive us to a B&B after. After the 1st option online did not pan out (costs & dates), Kerri asked her neighbor who gave us such an INCREDIBLE price for about 8 hours of service! Lastly, I have to mention how when the memento glass water bottle with our "Table #1" painted on it went missing & wound up in the trash, Kerri actually went in & retrieved it! The extra miles from Kerri Corrigan were awesome! I highly recommend her & Owls Hoot Barn for anyone looking for that special, upstate barn wedding! read more
