I don't even know where to begin. We had the absolute time of our lives at our wedding. And a big part of that was all thanks to Kelly and Bill Devine. Kelly was always responsive to my emails leading up to the day. And on our big day our whole dream came to life. From ceremony to reception everything was absolutely gorgeous. The barn was decorated exactly how we wanted. We received so many compliments on how beautiful our venue was and that was all thanks to these two. And the food was amazing!!! best wedding food ever. Kelly and Bill did not only provide a beautiful venue. They were always there checking in on us on wedding day and just making sure everything was going the way we wanted. I could not have asked for a better team. Reviewed on 19-09-2023

My husband and I are still on cloud 9 with how amazing our wedding was. We got married here at the end of October and the grounds were absolutely AMAZING, as was everything about the venue. However what makes this venue stand out from others are its owners, Kelly and Bill. From the very first email with Kelly she showed how much she and her husband Bill care about their couples and take such pride and enjoyment in their business. When I sent my interest email to venues, most replied back with an automated email and their giant packet of overwhelming pricing. Kelly however, emailed me back directly, started a conversation and made it a point to get to know me as a person not just her \"October xx bride\" Upon visiting the property and venue speaks for itself and my husband and I loved every little detail and how personal we would be able to make our experience. The months and weeks leading up to our big day Kelly was so helpful, accommodating, and understanding during the entire planning process. I would absolutely consider myself a \"type A\" bride and had such specific things my husband and I wanted to include in our day and she helped me achieve these. Now the day of our wedding I honestly don't even know where to start. Our guests still are telling us to this day it was the best wedding they have been to, the food through their in house cater was amazing, our bar service was perfect- our cocktail hour was AMAZING! and to top it off.. both Kelly and Bill made themselves known and welcoming to all of our guests to the point where at our bonfire afterparty our guests were calling them by name. Kelly handled every part of the day with ease and confidence and it made a world of a difference. She's in the perfect business and any couple that books their wedding here will be well taken care of! Our guests were truly amazed from start to finish and so were my husband and I. We still have conversations over dinner about just how truly perfect it was. Planning your wedding is no small task and takes so much detail, decision making, and planning. It is such a comforting feeling knowing we could trust our day in the hands of Kelly and Bill. Beautiful venue, and beautiful people inside & out! Anyone would be lucky to have them as part of your big day. They were one of our biggest blessings. Reviewed on 10-01-2024

We live in Texas and wanted to plan an Autumn wedding in New York, Hudson Valley area, for my daughter. We read about The Rustic Barn at Pleasantly Devine Stables and immediately fell in love with the concept of a farm wedding and this beautiful venue nestled in the heart of the Hudson Valley. My first concern was planning a wedding half way across the country. Kelly and Bill made it effortless and easy! They provided us with all the vendors we needed! The caterer, florist, music, and the photographer. Kelly ensured me that her vendors were trustworthy and reliable! She was right! The food was outstanding, the flowers gorgeous, as well as the photographer and the music. Kelly and her friendly staff took care of every detail. Unfortunately, it rained the day before the wedding and up until our 4 oâclock start time. Thankfully, Kelly and Bill had a back up plan. We did our vows ceremony on the barn patio that was covered and it was absolutely intimate and gorgeous. Then the reception in the barn. We had a fantastic time and would recommend highly this venue to anybody. Thank you Kelly and Bill for making our special day a huge success, and a memory that will last forever!

From the day we met Bill and Kelly, we knew we were in good hands. Planning a wedding is a stressful and expensive process, but every time I stepped foot on the property or spoke with Kelly, I felt at ease. The barn is absolutely gorgeous, the property stunning, and the service that Kelly and Bill provide is unmatched. They would have done anything in their power to make sure our day went perfectly, and with some of the vendor issues and bad weather that we had, we still had the best night of our lives.

We can not say thank you enough to Kelly, Bill, and the Pleasantly Devine staff for our amazing wedding! From planning months out to the day itself, everything was run smoothly, every detail not only thought about but they truly cared about. Communication with Kelly was always easy, she made sure to answer every question and concern we had. The day was everything we hoped it would be and having her coordinate the wedding was the best decision we made. There was no hiccups even with subpar weather. All of our guests were amazed and commented on how great the venue, food, and event as a whole were.

I canât say enough great things about Kelly and her staff at the venue. Letâs start with the fact that me and my husband walked into this venue and knew right away this is where we wanted to get married. Itâs tucked away and more private than most venues which we loved and itâs absolutely stunning. Once we decided this was our place, Kelly guided us through our wedding process from vendors to helping me pick out decor. And the absolute icing on the cake is she has a something borrowed section that you can actually use a ton of decorations for no cost!! The day of our wedding she was on top of everything and it went so smoothly. I truly canât put into words how thankful I am. It was the best day of our life and we couldnât be happier.

Iâm not sure I have to words to truly express how grateful we are to have had our wedding here. Our day was beyond perfection, all thanks to Kelly & Bill Devine. Our hearts were set on having our ceremony in the wooded site (which was beyond beautiful) but of course the day had an iffy weather forecast. While Bill tracked the storm on his premium weather app, Kelly & crew set up everything as planned. We got our dream ceremony inâŠredirected a little after for our pictures but that too ended up being incredible with the stormy skies in the background (also the cute clear umbrella). But from beginning to end everything was handled with such precision and thoughtfulness. We really felt like Kelly & Bill opened up their home to us and celebrated with us ! Thank you both for helping us create the most epic of memories for us! You know it was a great wedding when tons of guests reach out after the fact saying how beautiful it was, best wedding ever, great food, great music and great owners. Reviewed on 09-07-2023

Book it! Donât wait! Kelly is amazing! Everything ran smoothly and looked wonderful! We were married on June 10,2023. The day was everything we dreamed of. It was the perfect romantic ambience we were looking for. Several of our guests were shocked by how beautiful and elegant the barn was. The food was delicious. No one left hungry. The indoor/ outdoor space allowed our guests the ability to move around but also be close to the action. The fire pit was an added bonus and perfect way to end the night. I canât not thank the staff enough for a wonderful night and Kelly for making my vision a reality. Kelly and Bill are the perfect hosts and make you feel like family. Reviewed on 20-06-2023

We got married at Pleasantly Devine Stables on June 3rd, 2023, and from start to finish, we had nothing but wonderful things to say about this venue and its owners. Kelly and her husband Bill work tirelessly to provide the highest caliber of support and service I have ever seen in the wedding industry. From the moment we met almost two years ago, I knew we would be in good hands and I was not disappointed. Beyond that, the farm and the barn are absolutely beautiful. We booked when the barn was still just a slab of concrete and a vision in Kelly's amazing mind, and what we were welcomed into last Saturday was better than we could have ever dreamed. All of our guests were obsessed with the location and the style of the venue, from our cocktail hour setup to the farmhouse seating and the bonfire we held at the venue afterwards. We hired Kelly as our day-of coordinator (DO IT.) and she made sure that our vision came to life, while adding a few of her own truly perfect touches. She had great recommendations throughout the process, like who to hire as our photographer (Rob Charles absolutely kills it at this location!), where to do our first look, or how to serve drinks before our ceremony. She really tool the time to get to know our style and personality as a couple. When any hiccups occurred, Kelly and Bill were literally right there to swoop in and save the day. Our wedding was the most perfect day of my entire life, and I feel so incredibly lucky to have had the chance to have it at this venue, and to get to know Kelly and Bill in the process. My only wish is that I could go back and do it all over again! Thank you Pleasantly Devine! Reviewed on 08-06-2023

Gwen Roach(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-10-2022 When we found Bill and Kelly's venue it was just an empty field and a fantastic idea. We decided to take a chance and book it because we believed in their vision. That was in October by June it was built. They had an open house and when I first walked in I cried because it was so beautiful and far above our expectations. We couldn't believe how beautiful everything was. By the time our wedding came every expectation was exceeded prior to us even thinking of it (and I tried to think of everything) Bill and Kelly are genuinely good humans who want the best for everyone. Our wedding was incredible and they went above and beyond to help us achieve our vision. There was great communication, reasonable rates and the location itself is stunning. It's a family affair, I highly recommend going with their in-house caterer, the food was amazing.

Ken Gilberg(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-08-2022 Wow - There is so much more to Pleasantly Devine than the venue itself (which is elegant and rustic all at the same time). Kelly & Bill, the owners of the venue, are lovely people who are noticeably committed to the big day, as much as we were. We felt comfortable with them at all times and assured that everything would be taken care of. While the venue itself is currently new-ish, the experience felt as if Kelly & Bill had been putting on weddings for decades. Our wedding was fantastic and we strongly believe the owner of the venue played just as much of a role in that happening as the venue itself. The barn is gorgeous and really shines with the existing decor. We found no need to further decorate the venue given its current state and everything the Venue offers as additional touches. The fact that they venue already has a holder for table cards, some antique couches, some lanterns....etc. is hugely helpful and made the \"small things\" feel like a breeze. The venue also provides onsite catering (which we did not use) and are very open to outside vendors as well. If you are considering this venue, go in person for a tour and you will be quickly convinced of its value. 10/10 would recommend this venue to anyone looking for Rustic Chic that appreciates working with great people along the way.

We purchased the104 acre farm property in 2016, as a place to begin our future and pursue our dreams. This year we have decided to start our family operated business by opening to the public for, photography sessions, outdoor space rentals, as well as, wedding and special events. Kelly has a passion for interior design and a love for animals, and Bill has been in the construction business for over 25 years. We got married in 2011, and had a venue nightmare. With that being said we vow to make your day as perfect as we can.
