Black Walnut Farm

Black Walnut Farm is a distinctive historic event venue in Saugerties, New York, offering a private setting for weddings, corporate gatherings, retreats, milestone celebrations, fundraisers and seasonal parties. The property extends across 34 acres of meadows, woodland, gardens and nature trails, giving organisers a choice of indoor and outdoor spaces with plenty of room for guests to move, relax and socialise.

At the heart of the venue is a restored 1891 barn with a warm, characterful interior, vintage furnishings, dedicated bar areas, atmospheric lighting and a large disco ball above the dance floor. The barn can accommodate seated dinners, cocktail receptions, presentations and evening entertainment, while the surrounding grounds provide options for ceremonies, outdoor dining, lawn games, fireside gatherings and informal team activities. Three outdoor ceremony settings include a forest clearing, a wildflower meadow and a lawn beside the barn.

The venue is open throughout the year, with heating and air conditioning for seasonal comfort. Event packages can include tables, chairs, décor pieces, sound equipment, projection facilities, microphones, venue staff, parking support, a photo booth, lawn games, a bonfire and access to the property’s styling collection. Organisers may bring their own caterer or work with a preferred catering partner, with bar service available through the venue.

For multi-day celebrations and retreats, the historic farmhouse sleeps up to eight guests and includes shared living areas, fireplaces, a kitchen, gardens, a hot tub and outdoor gathering spaces. Black Walnut Farm also offers planning and coordination support, making it suitable for organisers seeking a flexible venue with strong hospitality, personality and practical event infrastructure.
