Black Walnut Farm

Black Walnut Farm is a restored 19th-century barn and event space set on 34 acres of meadows, forest, and gardens in Saugerties, New York. The property has been welcoming guests since 1747 and today specializes in wedding weekends that unfold naturally over time. Ceremonies take place in the forest, wildflower meadow, or open lawn, while receptions move from outdoor cocktails to candlelit dinners and dancing in the barn, which features a disco ball and seats up to 100 guests indoors. Larger gatherings can flow between lawn dining and barn dancing. The venue offers premium long-weekend packages that include overnight accommodations for 8 to 10 guests on-site, with additional lodging for 10 to 14 guests available at a nearby sister property. Couples can work with any catering team or choose from the venue's list of preferred partners. Black Walnut Farm provides guidance on vendor recommendations, event flow, and coordination throughout the planning process. Optional enhancements include specialty lighting, design guidance, and day-of coordination services. The team notes that most couples hosting full wedding weekends have total budgets ranging from $55,000 to $85,000 or more, depending on guest count and vision.
