Located in the scenic area of Pine Bush, NY, Thompson Ridge View Farm is a beautiful wedding venue featuring 134 acres of fields, mountain views, and an authentic working farm atmosphere. Originally a dairy farm for over 60 years, the premises is now a venue owned by Jacob and Winnie Gros. At Thompson Ridge View Farm, you can exchange your vows in front of breathtaking scenery before dancing the night away in a one-of-a-kind, rustic barn.
All in one setting, Thompson Ridge View Farm boasts an exclusive and rustic wedding experience ideal for hosting ceremonies and receptions. The designated ceremony site is a large open field just a short walk from the event barn. Guests can be seated on rows of hay bales as they witness the momentous occasion that you become newlyweds. For the cocktail party, you and your guests can enjoy a game of axe-throwing or take photographs next to original farm machinery. The repurposed barn is the gem of this property, boasting a weathered exterior, concrete flooring, and ample floor space for up to 250 seated guests.
Thompson Ridge View Farm's wedding package includes weekend access for the wedding and formal photographs. A stunning new wedding cottage is included as a getting ready space for the day, with the option for overnight stays as well. Several event items are also available, such as a wedding ceremony arch, string lighting, a restroom trailer, and utilities. Your guests will be greeted and directed by a parking attendant, and two members of the Thompson Ridge View Farm team will remain onsite to ensure everything goes smoothly for your big day.
First off, WOW. My husband and I got married here on 8.26.23. To say that it was the best day of our lives is an understatement. A huge part of that was all about the location and of course the wonderful Gros family and staff. My husband and I have been obsessed with this venue since we were told about it by a friend. From the very first time we visited the venue to the days after the wedding Janelle and the entire family have been nothing shy of a blessing. Janelle is very helpful with literally anything, she’s a true professional and you can tell through her dedication to make your special day is perfect. I still keep having people stop me in stores to tell me how much they loved the wedding and how amazed they were by the venue. This venue is truly a hidden gem in the Hudson Valley. Of course there are rustic barn venues all over the Hudson Valley, Thompson Ridge View Farm truly is different and special from all the others. Not only is the venue all inclusive of ceremony site options, reception and cocktail hour, photos, getting ready, etc., but it’s right off 302 with a breathtaking view of the ridge that you wouldn’t be able to see anywhere else in the area. We will forever dream about the sunset the night of our wedding! Oh and let’s not forget the barn and cocktail patio. This space is perfect for so many things, we had 250 people at our wedding and there wasn’t a single moment of cramped mingling or squeezing past anyone. The space is ridiculously large but still cozy at the same time! My bridal party and I were able to get ready at the cottage on site the day of. Not only was that super convenient and made the day obviously easier but, wow. What an experience, it’s tucked away before the barn on the same property, it almost feels like you are somewhere else. Somewhere out west! The beautiful floor to ceiling fireplace and gorgeous cathedral ceilings and of course the choice of furniture throughout. It honestly felt like a suite of a super high end hotel. I highly highly highly 10/10 recommend Thompson Ridge View Farm for any of your special occasion events. This venue had a lot to do with our big day being so perfect. We can’t thank the Gros family enough for sharing their family farm with us. If you have any reservations about not booking this venue, I suggest you reach out to Janelle anyways. She’s helpful, kind, and honest. She’s wonderful to work with and will make you happy you reached out! Reviewed on 19-09-2023
Isak Spoor(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-10-2022 My new wife and I could not have been more pleased with choosing Thompson Ridge View Farm for our wedding venue.To start with, the farm is absolutely beautiful! Rolling grassy fields, amazing views of the mountains, a boho-chic rustic barn with a newly renovated cocktail patio. The fire pits made for a memorable evening under the orange sunset sky and crisp fall air. We even took advantage of the awesome Axe Throwing option which was a COMPLETE HIT!The beauty of the venue was only outmatched by the incredibly wonderful operators, The Gros Family. In every way, The Gros made us feel as though we were partnered as friends or family, not customers . Their willingness to go the extra mile to help support us on our special day was so genuine and kind. They were flexible, patient, easy to work with, and simply just good quality individuals. Thank you Thompson Ridge View Farm and Gros Family for providing such a beautiful all around experience that will be impossible to forget in our minds, as well as every single guest that shared our special day with us!Isak & Mags Reviewed on 25-10-2022

Shane R(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-08-2022 Couldn't be happier with our experience at Thompson ridge view farm! Janelle are her family were amazing the entire way through: accommodating, helpful, solution-oriented and genuinely friendly. They made planning a wedding celebration (on relatively short notice too!) a breeze and enjoyable (seriously).The venue it self is GORGEOUS. Every single guest said how beautiful the grounds and barn were. The sunset over the ridge during cocktail hour took peoples breathes away! People instantly starting posing for photos with the sunset in the background. The field for the ceremony with the ridge backdrop couldnt have been any more perfect for what we had envisioned. I can actually say I enjoyed myself to the fullest, and given we had to pull everything together so quickly, I didnt think that would be possible- and it wouldnt have been if not for Janelle and her great family. There was a brief moment of panic when we realized the caterer had forgot the chafing fuel, but Janelle and her family stayed calm and came to the rescue. Fantastic/beautiful location, reliable/clear communication and help from the hosts, and great service made Thompson ridge view farm the perfect choice for us. Cant recommend this place enough. I'm happy we had our event here while they are still \"new\ Reviewed on 31-08-2022

Janelle and her family are extremely welcoming, personable and easy to work with. Each part of the wedding, from the ceremony to the reception has the gorgeous mountains in the background. The farm is perfect for anything you imagaine from dancing under the barn or roasting some marshmallows in the fire pit. It is a day we will never forget! Reviewed on 09-06-2022
