I love visiting the farm. We have photographed wedding her and also attended festivals. Never a disappointment!
My daughter had a wonderful wedding at the Mabee Farm in October 2015. The setting along the river made for once in a lifetime pictures. If you are interested in having a wedding at this beautiful venue keep some things in mind. This is not a cheap wedding venue, this is a “make it your own” distinctive wedding venue. The Mabee Farm rents you the beautiful setting. Like other alternative wedding venues it is up to you to make it work. My daughter and her husband had specific ideas on how they wanted their wedding. The ceremony was held in front of the barn with the reception held inside. This is an historic site NOT a restaurant or banquet hall so all the work to arrange it is on you - decorations, extra lighting, photographer, flowers, catering, DJ and set up. You can tailor it the way you want. Spend a lot of effort or a little. I recommend visiting the site a few times before set up and take some pictures of the barn interior. The barn rental specifically states that historic artifacts remain in parts of the barn and smoking is not allowed. That being said we worked with Total Events in Schenectady NY (who are familiar with the venue) for the tables, linens and lighting. We had a guest list of about 120 which I think is about capacity. For a bigger dance floor our caterer Ruggiero’s of Glenville suggested that we have a food tent adjacent to the back entrance so that we had more room inside the barn. Ruggiero’s have a working relationship with Total Events so Total Events also handled the food tent and had serving dishes ready for the caterers. By doing so we had plenty of room for the dance floor, DJ, a bar, candy bar, and a photo booth. To serve food inside comfortably I would suggest keeping your guest list to 75. There is a helpful member of the staff available for assistance on site during setup and during the wedding. This is a uniquely beautiful wedding venue with many creative options. You won't be disappointed.
Beautiful historic farm well kept and offers concerts and educational programs
Went for Canal Days to see the falconry exhibit. There was a lot of interesting things on exhibit, many of them permanently.
