    Rayther Wedding 2023

    One of the very first things Sharon told us about Gilbertsville Farmhouse was that if we booked them, we'd have THE BEST WEDDING EVER. Let's tell you how they came through...

    From start to finish, Sharon and her incredible team made us feel like we were part of their family. It was this sentiment that made us comfortable and excited to take the plunge with them. We knew early on that GFH would be the ones to help us achieve our dream wedding surrounded by all of our loved ones in the most special place reveling in the biggest moment of our lives.

    As we all know, planning a wedding can be quite the overwhelming task. Brandon, GFH's wedding coordinator (extraordinaire!) was such an instrumental part of our planning throughout the year. Every call, email, text never went unanswered and Brandon's tireless efforts and attention to detail really made the difference. He guided us, advocated for us and made sure that we were in control of our choices every step of the way. His willingness to go the extra mile to make our experience as seamless as possible was pivotal and we couldn't have done it without him.

    Everything else in between from the luxurious accommodations (OMG the sweetheart tent) to taking in the stunning grounds and fall foliage and playing with the animals (Duke and Maggie are the MVP's!) being carted around the property (shoutout to Katie and Peter for being the best chauffeurs and answering every walkie call making friendly conversations with everybody, you guys are real ones too!) and last but certainly not least, THE FOOD!! Chef Dakota is a master and every single dish was delicious to perfection. Our guests just could not stop raving about it all!! The entire experience was beyond our wildest dreams.

    All that to say, if you're looking for a place that isn't only breathtaking but also an inclusive and passionate team of people who'll let you be hands off at your wedding so that you could enjoy it and cherish all the priceless memories, Gilbertsville is the place to be.

    Thank you so much to the entire GFH team for THE BEST WEDDING EVER!!

    Best Wedding Ever!

    We had our wedding at Gilbertsville Farmhouse this past October and it was everything we dreamed of and more! From the gorgeous upstate New York scenery, to the incredibly attentive staff, at Gilbertsville you will be surrounded by beauty and love throughout the entire weekend. Our wedding coordinator, Brandon Woodcock, put so much time and effort into curating an experience that has left our friends and family with memories that will last a lifetime. We can’t tell you how many guests have told us since the wedding that it was the most unforgettably fun wedding that they have attended and much of that we can attribute directly to Gilbertsville and their staff. The on-property lodging is luxurious while still giving you that camping/farmhouse experience. The kitchen staff does such a phenomenal job at both making sure no-one leaves hungry and every palette is more than satisfied. The rest of the farmhouse staff will be there to make sure everything is taken care of without a hitch, no matter what inevitable hiccups may arise. We are so grateful that we were able to tie the knot at Gilbertsville Farmhouse and hope that any prospective wedding venue seekers see this review as their sign to visit and experience the magic for themselves.

    Venue of Your Dreams!!

    This spot is next level. I am so happy I found this place to have my wedding at! We got married in early October 2023 and we were hoping to have our wedding outside. It ended up raining that day and although I was stressed the team at Gilbertsville was extremely prepared and still made the wedding go smoothly and look incredible. It was so much fun staying on the property and having my wedding party and family stay there. I didn't want the weekend to end we were having so much fun! Brandon and Katie were absolute champs and always there when you needed them. Any hiccups were immediately addressed and no one even knew. I cannot recommend this place enough. Besides the gorgeous views and venue they have built over the years - the people make it. Everyone was so helpful and incredibly kind. I wish we could re-live that day over and over again!!

    Best venue ever

    Do you want your wedding to be the best weekend ever for you AND your guests?

    Look no further, YOU HAVE FOUND YOUR WEDDING VENUE. Gilbertsville Farmhouse exceeded ALL of our expectations.

    We were seeking a weekend wedding experience that would allow us to spend quality time with those closest to us, and Gilbertsville was everything we were looking for AND MORE.

    Sharon WOWED us from the day we met her, and the planning process only got better from there. Brandon was exceptional to deal with and always had our back. They are exceedingly organized and leave very little for the couple to worry about, they also handle all of the coordination with your vendors leading into the wedding which was a huge weight lifted off our shoulders.

    Katie and literally everyone we interacted with throughout the weekend were OUSTANDING. Everyone was always 10 steps ahead of us. It got to a point where I stopped even asking questions about things because I knew they had it covered. My husband and I, and all of our families and wedding party were truly able to enjoy the weekend because they TAKE. CARE. OF. EVERYTHING. And they don’t just take care of it, they knock it out of the park. We would be remiss to neglect mentioning the FOOD, Chef Dakota and his team are exceptional, you and your guests feel like you're at a 5 star restaurant ALL weekend.

    It’s been a month since our wedding and we’re still fielding calls/texts from our guests telling us how incredible every single aspect of the weekend was.

    If you are considering Gilbertsville Farmhouse, visit and let the property speak for itself. If you can’t make the trip, you are NOT crazy if you book this venue sight unseen. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

    We are so thankful to have found this venue, we can’t wait to come back and visit. THANK YOU

    Best and Most Unique Wedding Venue

    We recently had our wedding at Gilbertsville Farmhouse. It was the most amazing weekend of our life for ourselves and all of our family and friends. The experience is very unique. We specifically wanted a weekend full of fun to celebrate our relationship with the most important people in our lives and it was nothing short of that. From spending Friday at the new upgraded resort style beach on the near the pond, to the rehearsal dinner, our wedding day and Sunday brunch, everything was perfect and exactly how I envisioned it. Brandon, the day of coordinator, is absolutely amazing and extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process. Katie, the lead guest attendant is very attentive and keeps the whole weekend on track. Chef Dakota, the executive chef, makes the most delicious food we have ever had. All of my family and friends bragged about how it was the best wedding food they have ever had. I would recommend this venue to anyone who asks and I hope to attend many retreats they host in the future.

    The Wedding of Our Dreams

    It is truly so difficult to put into words just how special our time at Gilbertsville Farmhouse was. We are still glowing months later from an unforgettable 3 days - a time where we experienced breathtaking views, enjoyed the most delicious food imaginable, and made lasting memories with friends and family that we will all carry with us forever. Every single attendee we spoke with during or since the big day have wholeheartedly agreed, our wedding at Gilbertsville Farmhouse was the absolute best wedding they have ever attended! The whole experience from top to bottom was magical, the staff was so accommodating and helped us every step of the way to ensure we got to properly enjoy and treasure our time on this beautiful property. In the time leading up to the wedding, Brandon helped keep us on track with planning and saw to it that our day(s) went off without a hitch, we truly are so grateful especially for his help! We feel really lucky that we were able to bring our vision to life and have the party of our lives with those that we love, in an atmosphere that was absolutely perfect for us. The animal friends running around the property, the gazebo within the lake, all of the unique farmhouse spaces and lodging, truly nowhere else could have ever been as perfect for us as Gilbertsville Farmhouse. So - to Sharon, Brandon, Katie, Eric, Chef Dakota and the whole staff and family at Gilbertsville Farmhouse, we are eternally thankful and appreciative for all you did in bringing us the most perfect wedding we could have asked for. (And we'll see you soon at one of the retreats!)

    Forever Grateful,
    Vinny and Allexa

    “BEST WEDDING EVER!!!” This is all I kept hearing after an incredible weekend spent at Gilbertsville with our friends and family. I don’t even have the words to explain how amazing Gilbertsville Farmhouse truly is. Brandon their wedding planner, is absolutely incredible. He was there to help every step of the way making sure I had everything done and organized so that when my weekend came he could handle it all. He truly did handle it ALL! I didn’t have to think or worry or be nervous about a single thing!!! The best part is I was able to enjoy my weekend worry and stress free. Every time I looked around Brandon had done everything I wanted and imagined. The Gilbertsville Farmhouse team is INCREDIBLE. I have so many wonderful things to say about each and every person on their team. It truly was worth every penny. The food and catering team is OUTSTANDING!! I got so many compliments on how amazing the food was, for not only the reception but every single meal all weekend!! The decor, the atmosphere, the employees, the animals, EVERYTHING!! I could go on for hours!!! I HIGHLY recommend having your wedding at Gilbertsville and book the whole weekend because you truly won’t regret it. It was the BEST weekend of our lives!!! Only warning is wedding depression is a real thing especially when you get married at Gilbertsville Farmhouse with their incredible food, staff, team, everything!! PLEASE get married there, you won’t regret it!! Love always, Gilbertsville Farmhouse’s Disney bride Samantha 8/12/23❤️❤️

    Beautiful venue with great views

    As a local bakery that provides some of the wedding cakes for Gilbertsville Farmhouse we love delivering there! It's a gorgeous venue with many amenities you don't typically find at barn venues and the views are stunning!

    Incredible venue

    Amazing venue. Brandon (coordinator/planner) is incredible at what he does and made the planning process so easy and enjoyable. We trusted Brandon and his team to bring our vision to life and they did just that and more. Throughout the wedding weekend we were continuously complimented on the beauty of the venue and the quality of the food. Would recommend them without hesitation!

    The most incredible weekend EVER!!!

    Four months ago we had our absolute dream wedding at Gilbertsville Farmhouse!!! Words can not even begin to describe our experience!! We have not stopped hearing from our friends and family….”that is was the most incredible wedding they have ever been to” or how “magical” it was. My husband and I still talk about it almost daily, how we had the best time of our life!! We give the highest praise to Brandon Woodcock!!! He is the wedding coordinator at Gilbertsville Farmhouse. Brandon made everything possible!!! His attention to detail is like no other, he did not miss a beat!! Brandon made sure that our weekend went off without a hitch. He was meticulous in helping us plan and coordinate EVERY single detail! If we forgot anything, Brandon had our back and was there to figure it out!! His dedication and love for his job shined thru every thing he did to make our wedding absolutely perfect!!! Then….there was the rest of the staff who were also incredibly attentive and accommodating, ensuring that every detail was taken care of…Katie, Shelby and Lily. Two huge fan favorites were Peter and Eric, our golf cart drivers. Peter, Eric and Katie knew where everybody was, who needed what and really made sure all our family kids were safe, sound and were they needed to be!! The kids adored Peter and Eric!!! By the end of the weekend everyone there felt like part of our family!! The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful grounds and a picture-perfect backdrop for our ceremony. The catering by Dakota, Marcy and Roman was top-notch, and our guests are still raving about the delicious food. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a magical place to say 'I do,' look no further than Gilbertsville Farmhouse. We got married there in this lifetime and we would get married there again in EVERY lifetime!!!!

    Once in a lifetime experience!

    What an amazing wedding experience! The minute my husband and I saw Gilbertsville Farmhouse we knew that this was the only place where we could see ourselves getting married and after our wedding, the same sentiment held true.

    It was incredible being able to spend a weekend with our closest people! The food was AMAZING (no exaggeration, we had multiple guests come up to us commenting on how wonderful the food was), the team was so attentive and great to work with, and the goat yoga/ beer burro was such a rememberable experience.

    We left many of the details up to Brandon, the event manager/day of coordinator, and it was so liberating to just sit back and relax because we knew that the team had our backs. Every space was GORGEOUS and beyond anything that we could have envisioned by ourselves.

    We feel so lucky to have found such a special and unique place to get married. Our guests had just as nice of a time as we did, which was something so meaningful and important to us. We miss it already and will definitely be back for a weekend retreat.

    Sending all of our love,

    The absolute best place to get married in NYS!

    My husband and I got married at Gilbertsville Farmhouse in 7/1/23. We had all of our closest family and friends at Gilbertsville for the most incredible weekend celebration. I cannot recommend this venue enough- they provide the most unique and unforgettable weekend EXPERIENCE for you and your guests!!!

    Full disclosure, I planned my entire wedding weekend at Gilbertsville Farmhouse from out of state (Colorado!) and I did not physically see the grounds until I arrived for our welcome/rehearsal dinner day! I was so blown away by the beauty of it all that I cried. It is truly spectacular-- the pond, the rolling green fields, the mountains, all of the beautifully decorated and comfortable glamping tents and structures on site for our guests, the adorable farm animals!!!

    I was able to get away with planning from afar because the owner Sharon and head coordinator, Brandon Woodcock, are absolutely amazing. When they say they make it easy for their clients, they aren't kidding. Brandon was always available to answer questions, alleviate any anxiety that one might have prior to their wedding day AND ensured that everything was set up as envisioned. He communicated with all of our chosen vendors (florist, DJs, photographers, hair and make up artists, transportation etc.) to ensure everyone was on the same page, on time and ready to roll. Things could not have gone any smoother.

    I am an outdoor enthusiast and wedding photographer myself. I've attended hundreds of weddings as a photography vendor and have seen many beautiful farm and nature-inspired venues. My expectations were HIGH and Gilbertsville blew us away. Every single one of our guests were RAVING about our time at Gilbertsville, literally saying it was one of the best weekends of their lives.

    The food was so delicious and our guests raved about this as well. This place really has everything dialed so that couples and their guests can show up and just have the best time ever. Honestly, if you are contemplating this place and you aren't sure, I am here to tell you that this place is WORTH IT and one of the best wedding venues in New York State especially if you are an outdoorsy person or wanting to do something different for your wedding! We felt like we were on a destination vacation.

    Thank you so much Gilbertsville. We are forever grateful for your hard work and dedication to excellent service. You made our experience truly unforgettable.

    Camp samp wedding

    Where do I even begin.

    I called Sharon at Gilbertsville Farmhouse 8 days after Dave proposed to me. I was a bride on a mission with a vision and I knew (even after just looking at pictures online), that this was the place that would host the most special weekend of our lives.

    Sharon - first and foremost thank you for absolutely everything. You have a vision for design like no other and a heart of gold that shines through. To say that we love you is an understatement and I feel like we will be family forever. (Me and dave will be back every year don’t you worry).

    Brandon…where do I even start with you!?! Thank you for dealing with my type A personality and excel sheets seamlessly. I don’t know why things happen the way they do but I know for a fact that you were supposed to be apart of our big weekend. Thank you will never justify how we feel about you and like I already told you l, I’m never deleted our group chat because we are in fact best friends. Every couple is lucky to have you and I thank god every single second for the over the top and outstanding emotional support you provided to us. (LOL)

    KATIE! You are just magic, this place would not be the same without you there. I don’t know how you do what you do with such ease but I truly smile at the thought of you. I don’t want to brag but one of my favorite moments (besides the little dress flashing) will be you walking me down the aisle. I don’t think many people will be able to say that and I am honored.

    Chef Dakota - I will never be the same after eating your masterpieces (yes masterpieces). Food brings people together and that is exactly what you did. (That salmon - I could just die).

    GFH team - my goodness I love you all so much. The wedding blues are worse than normal because your team is not normal they are EXTRAORDINARY people. I will never forget this weekend and all the hard work you put into it to make sure our day was perfect, regardless of the weather.

    Maggie and Duke, I miss you more than you know.

    We love you all so much. Brides and grooms don’t hesitate on this magical place. RAIN OR SHINE they show up and show out for you. I literally walked down the aisle in the rain and I couldn’t have imagined it any other way.

    Side note: Queen Victoria - I’ve only seen a snippet of the photos you took and if they were the only ones I ever got I would die happy.

    Family forever.

    The best weekend of our entire lives.

    I’ve worked in the wedding industry for 8 years and I’ve SEEN IT ALL..... until Gilbertsville Farmhouse!!!!

    The second my fiancé and I got engaged, we knew that we wanted a wedding day that was extremely unique, a full weekend "getaway" experience, filled with amazing food, family, & friends... and WOW did Gilbertsville Farmhouse deliver!!! First off, Brandon is the BACKBONE of the show! He is so kind, sweet, thoughtful, detail-oriented, and WONDERFUL. From the second we met him, I knew we were in the best hands, and he surpassed my expectations by miles and miles (and I have VERY HIGH standards!). :)
    SHARON is the GOAT as well as the entire staff and family of the farm!!!
    The food is unbelievable. Every single meal was absolutely incredible and they made sure all of our guests on-site and off-site with allergies and restrictions were treated like royalty every single chance they had.

    Our guests just kept saying “HOW DID YOU FIND THIS PLACE?!?” because of how unbelievably surreal and perfect everything was.

    I truly cannot speak enough on how lucky I feel to have found this venue for our wedding day. It is the most magical venue your friends and family will ever get to experience!!

    Thank you 1 million times over to the ENTIRE STAFF!!!! We love you so much, and will be back for years to come!!!!

    xoxo Kristen & Casey Baker

    An absolute dream

    If you're considering a weekend wedding DO IT and do it at Gilbertsville Farmhouse. From the first day we toured the venue we knew it was exactly where we wanted to tie the knot. The ability to have your closest friends and family on site to spend the weekend with you was so amazing. They have so many activities and common areas so that every single person is able to have so much fun and feel comfortable. We had people sitting around a fire, playing volleyball, sitting on the beach, playing corn hole and working from home all in the same general area. They truly cater to whatever type of person you and your guests are. The glamping tents and suits are so much fun and different with such charm about them. Even your bougiest friend will have so much fun and be so comfortable in the tents. And if camping really isn't their thing, the farmhouse rooms are nicer than just about any hotel room you'll find. The weekend was an absolutely dream in every way. Everyone that works as staff is like family and work to make your weekend magical. They are so responsive to every need and request and are willing to do just about anything to make your weekend exactly as you want it. It is the most beautifully put together venue and speaks for itself, we brought close to no decorations and it was perfect. Sharon, Gina, Katie and George are so responsive to every need and willing to accomodate so much to make your perfect day. Shane is such an incredible chief and all of the food was amazing with so many things to choose from. The team pours their heart and soul into every detail of what they do and you can tell they truly love doing it. Gilbertsville is such a special place and I couldn't recommend it enough

    100/5 stars

    Its been almost 2 months since our wedding at Glibertsville Farmhouse and I still don't even know where to begin. Let me start by saying it was nothing short of AMAZING. If you are a bride planning a wedding then you know that it is very hard to trust anyone, but from day one we met with the owner Sharon who convinced us that the farm " runs on the motto: 'We Got You'. And she wasn't lying.

    Our wedding weekend was absolutely perfect. Even the communication up to the day was clear, concise and made me feel very comfortable. During the weekend every detail was flawlessly planned and executed, giving me the space to spend time with my family and other guests. The fact that it was 2 days long gave us time to make plenty of memories too.

    I want to highlight our wedding coordinator, Brandon Woodcock. It is very rare to see someone love their job so much as he does, and ALSO be Damn Good at it!! Every detail was thought through and he made sure that we had anything we needed at any time and exceeded our expectations. He seemed to have a way to always be right there the second you needed anything he would often anticipate my needs based on his experience and help to make sure that I always had food or drink in hand and space if you needed it. He is passionate, thoughtful and detail oriented. Without Brandon by our sides the wedding would not have been what it was. Even the details I didn't think of he did, and truly made my own vision something even more spectacular. By the end of the weekend he felt more like family than just our coordinator.

    In addition, our guests are still raving about the staff and how attentive they were. We hear anecdotes about how nothing was too big of an ask and even food allergies were handled with extreme care.

    And we can't forget about Katie. She ran that show. Katie found me a toothbrush 10 minutes before walking up the isle because I forgot to brush my teeth. She also perfectly helped coordinate with my dad who was in a wheelchair, making him her top priority and taking the burden of taking care of him off of my mom and the rest of the family so they too could enjoy the weekend.

    THE FOOD!!

    We ate like Kings and Queens the entire weekend. My taste buds will never be the same in the best way. The food fresh, creative and perfectly portioned. Each course was better than the last and I can't think of anything I'd change. If you are looking for a once in a lifetime, unique wedding of your dreams, do not think twice about booking Gilbertsville Farmhouse.

    We are still getting compliments to this day about how we had the best wedding they've ever been to and I am so happy that I will have these memories for a lifetime.

    When they say "We Got You", They mean it!

    More Than Just a Stunning Wedding Venue

    On behalf of Andrea Johnson Floral Design, I give Gilbertsville Farmhouse a 5-star rating and recommend this venue to all! I collaborated with them on styled shoot and not only were the grounds incredibly stunning, but the family and team is so amazing! They were so supportive before, during, and after the shoot. This is more than just a gorgeous wedding venue, this is a family that makes you feel like you're home! I highly recommend Gilberstville Farmhouse!

    Best Wedding Experience Ever

    My now husband and I recently had our wedding at Gilbertsville Farmhouse, and we can't say enough about how perfect the entire experience was, from the planning stages to our final goodbyes. Already, we're trying to figure out when we can return for a retreat, as are many of our guests!

    We booked the venue, site unseen, because of the wonderful feelings of warmth and confidence we got from Sharon, the owner, as well as the gorgeous photos and solid reviews. When we finally went to visit a few months later, our expectations were blown away by the beauty of the place, the warmth of the employees, and the deliciousness of the food we tasted.

    Sharon promises the "Best. Wedding. Ever." and she and her team deliver. We never had a more wonderful time, and all of our guests still 6 weeks later are saying the same. Sharon's small team is mighty. We had a complex vision for our weekend, and they carried it off perfectly and with grace. We did nothing but have fun the entire time because we knew Gina, Shane, Katie, and George had every single detail handled.

    If you're hesitating, don't! Getting married here is a fairytale dream come true!

    Magical -- I would choose it over and over again!

    We booked Gilbertsville Farmhouse in June of 2019, for a July of 2020 wedding. At the time, we fell in love with the kittens in the barn, the spectacular beauty of the site and Aldo, one of the owner's, charms.

    Two pandemic postponements later, we finally had our magical dream wedding on 4/9/22 of this year. Gilbertsville Farmhouse has changed and grown a lot since we initially booked, but they were absolutely amazing, across the two years, of being supportive and accommodating regarding our original contract while also letting us take advantage of all the new services they offer.

    In terms of the sites and spaces, you will literally not find anything better:

    While we had initially planned on an outdoor wedding at their hilltop cathedral (absolutely gorgeous), rain led us to an indoor wedding in the milking barn. I didn't have a moment's regret at the shift, because the "back-up" space was so beautiful and romantic. They actually have a THIRD ceremony space option, as well (woodsy), for people who don't think two gorgeous options is enough.

    The accommodations are amazing. We had a small, intimate wedding, and all of our guests were able to stay on site between the suites, glamping suites and glamping tents. Each accommodations space is beautiful, tasteful, comfortable, and trendy. Our guests gathered and mingled in the suites common area, as well as under the honeymoon tent and by the bonfire in the glamping village.

    The outdoor spaces, including the animals, are to die for. You arrive on site and are greeted by a beautiful pond and sheep/alpacas roaming in a field. You are truly on a farm -- not just a barn wedding planted in the middle of a city or town. It is so, so beautiful at Gilbertsville.

    Finally (sort of--there are so many spaces I didn't fully experience in my weekend in Gilbertsville just because there is so much), the reception barn and the Hayloft (where "extra" meals and the rehearsal dinner was held) are amazing spaces. Beautiful, comfortable, rustic and chic.

    The FOOD was amazing:

    Full disclosure, we booked before they had the on-site catering, so we had a separate caterer for our rehearsal dinner/wedding.

    We did, however, have them cater the "extra" meals and our Sunday brunch. Everything they catered was phenomenal and delicious.

    The STAFF at Gilbertsville are also incredible:

    All the staff at Gilbertsville, in the two years prior to the wedding and especially during the weekend, did everything in their power to make everything go smoothly and reduce stress.

    The wedding weekend went off without a hitch, and that is because of the staff there.

    I highly, highly, highly recommend purchasing the Maggie in the Middle Package. It is MORE than worth it for everything it includes.

    Also, definitely take note of any recommendations Gilbertsville Staff provide. We did and were blown away by all of their recommendations.

    Final Recommendations:

    The Goat Yoga is totally worth it. We did it with our guests on Friday, and it was such a fun start to the weekend. The Goat Yoga staff are very relaxed, and the goats are adorable. It got everyone in a festive mood! Also--what other wedding venue has goat yoga?

    Our wedding was magical -- I can't stop talking about and dreaming about it. It was well worth the two year week. We will back to Gilbertsville -- for a retreat or whatever way we can sneak back in -- because we know, whatever they do, it will be a good time!

    The BEST weekend of my life!!!!

    I was never the girl who dreamed about her wedding, in fact, I didn't even think I wanted one. My now husband convinced me and we booked Gilbertsville Farmhouse and it was by far the best decision ever!!! Sharon and Gina and Katie and George and EVERYONE at Gilbertsville Farmhouse made the dreams I didn't even know I had come true. In fact, I am now sad when I hear that someone doesn't have a wedding and misses out on the incredible experience I got to have at Gilbertsville Farmhouse. Planning a wedding is a lot of work but Gina made the entire process fun - and when I showed up on Friday for my wedding weekend everyone went above and beyond to make it special. I didn't do a single thing or worry about a single thing the moment I stepped on the farm that weekend. I knew they kept saying that it'll be the best wedding ever, but I truly didn't understand until my wedding weekend. It wasn't just the best wedding ever, but it was the best weekend ever. And it's not just us who think so - it's family and extended family (from 8 years old to 87 years old) and friends! I wish I could articulate just how magical that weekend was and how lucky I feel to have been able to get married in such a spectacular venue with truly just the best staff in the world. Staff that I now consider friends. THANK YOU to Gilbertsville Farmhouse for everything. It's been one month and I'm still on cloud 9!!!

    A Dream Come True

    When they say “BEST. WEEKEND. EVER.” They mean it. Like, they REALLY mean it. From the moment you step foot onto the Gilbertsville property, you have the entire team doing everything they can ensure you and your guests have the most incredible weekend. The group of people Sharon has on her team are THE hardest workers I have ever met. They are people who HUSTLE and they care about every couple so much. You can feel it. I am beyond impressed and in awe of the weekend they were able to pull off to give my husband and me the wedding we always talked about having. I only wish it could have lasted longer - I seriously don’t know how people have a one day wedding after experiencing this! The food was amazing. The venue was amazing. The live band they recommended was amazing. And the photographer was BEYOND amazing. Listen, Victoria (our photographer) is Sharon’s (venue owner) daughter. But this isn’t like a “oh my daughter can take your photos she’s pretty good” kind of thing. It’s actually a mistake if you don’t have her capture your wedding weekend at this venue. She is TALENTED and she knows this venue like the back of her hand. She knows all the greatest shots, where the light is the best, and she is obviously close with the Gilbertsville staff, so she was able to perfectly execute and coordinate our day! Plus you don’t have to pay travel fees **wink wink**. Having your wedding here is the best decision you can make. You and your wedding guests will be talking about this for years to come.

    Magical Barn Wedding

    The moment my husband and I stepped on the Gilbertsville property we knew it was where we were going to get married. It is truly a magical one of a kind place. From the down time in the hammocks, to saying i do on the hilltop, to dancing in the chandelier barn, this place has everything you could ever want!
    The venue is always changing and improving! What we booked was so much more incredible by the time our day came around and it was because of all the love and hard work Sharon, Aldo, and the whole crew put into making this venue so special.
    Katie their right hand lady is absolutely fabulous and so helpful! And Gina their event coordinator is so on top of emails and google drive. It helped me keep everything organized.
    We booked them before they added a kitchen so we didn’t get to experience the full offerings they have however we did use them for our morning after brunch which was delicious and the presentation was great.
    The glamping tents and farmhouse are absolutely spectacular and we were so thrilled to be able to stay on property with all of our closest friends and family. We could never imagine only having 1 day to celebrate such a special moment and gilbertsville gives you a whole weekend!
    I could go on for paragraphs but I’ll leave you with this, choose The Gilbertsville Farmhouse for your wedding. By picking them you are getting a personalized one of a kind a weekend experience, where the staff genuinely wants you to have the best wedding ever and will make sure you get it.
