Events at Black Walnut Farm

Corporate Events, Intimate Gatherings, Holiday Parties or Any Old Reason to Have a Soirée!

Dreaming up a party for a loved one? A way to say thank you to your employees or clients? A cozy, cheerful holiday event to bring people together? Or literally… just want to boogie? The Barn at Black Walnut Farm can host any and all of these styles of events for you – just inquire!

With its curated design and eclectic charm, Black Walnut Farm offers a refreshingly stylish alternative to the typical event venue (more ‘disco ball’, less ‘banquet hall’, if you will.) We’re not just a wedding venue; we host unforgettable parties year-round. From cozy winter cocktail hours to breezy summer lawn games, we’ve got the vibe and the versatility.

Event Types We Host
Holiday Parties • Brand Launches • Milestone Birthdays • Corporate Retreats • Team Building Days • Product Showcases • Fundraisers • Engagement Parties • Reunions

Set on 34 private acres where Hudson Valley meets the Catskill Mountains, Black Walnut Farm is more than just a beautiful backdrop- it’s a fully immersive event space. With expansive meadows, wildflower gardens, and lush woodlands, the property is an invitation to relax and revel. Our lovingly restored 1891 barn is open year-round, heated in cooler months and air-conditioned for summer comfort.

Beyond the barn, the property offers endless possibilities for creative programming and connection. Meander through our private forest trails for a group hike or guided foraging workshop. Host sunrise yoga or team-building games on our wide-open lawns. Two satellite bars on-site provide flexible options for al fresco cocktail hours or post-dinner sips under the stars.

Talk about the perfectly picturesque, private venue for any type of event you’d like to host.

The Venue: Historic, Eclectic, and Effortlessly Cool

Our barn is anything but ordinary. You’ll find antique lounge furniture, twinkle lights, vintage farm tables, and a 4-foot disco ball. No rental furniture needed: this place already looks like a magazine shoot. The natural beauty of the Hudson Valley does a lot of the heavy lifting, too!

We’re located just 2 hours from NYC and offer a private, serene setting with just the right amount of party energy.

From the fire pit to the forest, our venue is designed for connection, whether it's an impromptu toast or a formal presentation. Every rental includes a full AV package with sound system, mic, projector, and screen so you can focus on the moment, not the tech.

Event Capacity & Seasonal Comfort

Indoor: up to 80 guests seated / 125 standing
Outdoor: expansive lawns, bonfire patio, forest hideaways

Unlike many Hudson Valley venues, we’re open all year. Our cozy, heated barn makes a magical backdrop for cold-weather celebrations, while summertime shindigs will have your guests cool as a cucumber: that’s right, we are fully air-conditioned too. No matter the weather, Black Walnut Farm is always in season.

Hosting in spring or fall? Our outdoor cocktail spaces stay toasty thanks to fire pits and patio heaters. (Hot toddy bar? We can make it happen.)
