Owls Hoot Barn is an enchanting venue with its historic 1800s Dutch barn and charming complex of smaller barns. The entire property exudes a rich heritage that sets the perfect atmosphere for any wedding event.
Surrounded by picturesque landscapes, the grounds are adorned with beautiful wildflowers and a meandering creek lined with graceful willow trees. The main barn is spacious enough to accommodate 180 guests for dining and dancing. Additionally, the attached pavilion offers a beautiful space for a cocktail hour, serves as a backup ceremony site in case of rain, and provides even more options for making your special day truly memorable.
Nestled in the breathtaking Hudson Valley Region of the Catskill Mountains, this old farmstead is situated at the base of the Kalkberg Trail, a towering cliff of limestone that once served as the pathway for the old Indian trading passage up to Albany. The unique historical and natural elements of Owls Hoot Barn create a truly magical setting for a wedding celebration.

- You are allowed access to the farm starting 2.5 days before the date of your event (i.e. WED afternoon for a SAT event)
- 8 bathrooms in the barn (2 full baths that are handicap accessible)
- Interior of the barn accommodates 180 guests as a maximum occupancy. Some clients with numbers over this amount choose the option of utilizing the barn for those interested in dancing and using the outdoor attached pavilion for dining …extended cocktail hours have become a great way to save costs, create a fun atmosphere, and leave plenty of room for dancing. Smaller weddings will have greater flexibility in how they layout their tables and use of space in the barn. Summer months include central air conditioning.
