My wife and I had an amazing wedding at RRVF! Wally is so friendly and kind. We planned the wedding we dreamed of since the venue is a blank canvas. The ability to have the farm from Friday to Sunday was extremely helpful. The backdrop of the mountains under the arbor on the hilltop was stunning! Our guests raved about how cool the venue was. It was the only venue that could hold the amount of guests we planned for, reasonable priced and provide ample time for us to not feel rushed. Wally offered so many amazing vendor suggestions and was very communicative! We definitely suggest booking RRVF for your wedding!

As a wedding photographer in the New Paltz/Hudson Valley area, I've photographed weddings at many charming rustic wedding venues, and, truthfully, Rustic Ridge View Farm takes the cake for a unique rustic venue with homestead vibes. :)Rustic Ridge is one of my favorite places to photograph for many reasons - the ceremony space atop the hill with its view of the mountains, the lush green grove near the ceremony space for couple portraits, and the covered pavilion that lets in lots of natural light during the reception are a delight to photograph. In addition to that, the owner, Wally, is one of the kindest and most hands-on venue owners I have ever met. He truly loves hosting weddings on his property, and even goes so far as to open up his own home for the couple and wedding party to get ready in. Because of his kind presence, the venue truly feels like a home away from home for anyone choosing to get married there.This venue is also very close to New Paltz, which is a great little town to explore for guests visiting from out of town, and also boasts several cute shops and delicious restaurants. If you want a rustic wedding that feels a little different than the typical barn venue, this is your place.

We camped here after a last minute decision to head up this way. Wally was great, excellent communication and the space was so pretty. Will definitely be camping here when we come back up!

Campground is serene with awesome views. We were right next to one of the horse pens and despite a surprisingly cold weekend, we're quite content. Restaurants and stores are fairly convenient. The only thing to "prepare" for are the facilities: a few dirty porta-potties (one with a sizeable wasp nest) but otherwise an awesome experience.

My son and now daughter-in-law were married at Rustic Ridge View Farm this past weekend and we had a wonderful experience. The owner Wally & his team were so nice and professional. My son & daughter-in-law had a great wedding planer that gave them tips on caterers, rentals, dj's and photographers and it turned out to be an amazing day! It was a very cold day but Wally had some heaters & my son rented some heaters & we danced the night away!

We just had our wedding at Rustic Ridge, and it was the perfect space for our celebration. I can't imagine a better space for a big ol party with all our family and friends! The views are spectacular, the pavilion is spacious, and Wally (the owner) is so kind, helpful, and cool. It was a wonderful day and Rustic Ridge View Farm made it possible :)

Rustic Ridge View Farm was the venue of our dreams. The views are breathtaking, and the pavilion accommodated our large wedding party. Wally was the absolute BEST to work with, and we know we will have a friend for life in him! He helped us with every step along the way. His staff helped the day run smoothly, and several guests approached us to tell us how they'd never been to such a stunning wedding before! Would recommend this venue to anyone. If you're concerned about COVID, this venue is entirely outdoors and made us feel assured. 10/10!!!!

The farm is beautiful and well taken care of, and the views are spectacular! Wally is a huge help and support. There’s lots of land if your guests want to camp/glamping.

Rustic Ridge View Farm was an absolutely amazing place for our wedding. The view from the hill during our ceremony was stunning and the huge rustic pavilion for our reception was exactly what we envisioned. Wally was a joy to work with from start to finish, answering all of our questions and giving us advice for over a year while we were in planning mode. Our wedding photos in the pine forest on the property and on the hill were magical. We even managed to capture some impromptu photos with a horse staying on the farm! Our guests loved the event and we couldn’t have chosen a better spot to celebrate.

I had my wedding at Rustic Ridge View Farm and I am so glad I did. Wally, the owner, is amazing to work with. Everything went so well, the venue is gorgeous, and we loved the freedom to go a bit later than other venues would have allowed. It's definitely a very chill (yet professional) spot to have a wedding and it's enormous. Tables are included and there are bathrooms onsite so that's already a big plus over other raw farm or barn wedding venues.We held ours late August. Heat was not an issue and there were no bugs at all. Wally provides a PA for the ceremony, a beautiful wooden arch that you can decorate or leave as is (it's pretty either way), benches & lots of fun touches all around like wooden signage etc. The lighting under the pavilion is amazing at night, there are bistro and fairy lights all around. Photos do not do it justice.I definitely recommend using a wedding planner or professional day of coordinator - its a lot to coordinate catering and other rentals. Our photos are so gorgeous, Wally pointed out the best photo spots. Our guests raved about the site, reception, and bonfire. We could not be happier with our choice!
