Valley View provides the time and space needed to slow down and enjoy quality time with loved ones. The farm offers a welcoming sense of place and an experience that is truly unique while our planners and staff provide intuitive, personalized service and genuine hospitality. Wedding planning, day-of coordination, furniture and amenities, time on the farm for engagement photos, and two separate getting-ready spaces are all included.
FARM-TO-TABLE CATERING:
Guests at Valley View are fed meals sourced directly from our fields, woods and nearby farms. Our in-house chef thoughtfully crafts each menu around the season and your preferences. You’ll be invited to our quarterly tasting dinners where we’ll gather at long tables to experience and taste the food paired with farm-made ciders and signature cocktails.
CRAFTED COCKTAILS
We pride ourselves in our top-notch offerings, local craft brews and wine, our own farm ciders, and imaginative cocktail creations.

ON FARM LODGING
We offer lodging for up to 22 guests in two properties on the farm the Farmhouse and the Apple House. Both are perfect for guest and family accommodations.
I cannot put into words what an absolutely incredible experience we had with having our wedding at VVF. Everything about this venue is perfect. From the moment my husband and I went on our first tour, to booking, going to the complimentary farm dinners, regular check ins with the staff all the way through wedding day, I simply could not have asked for a better team and place to have my dream wedding which they made come true. If you are considering having your wedding here, you will 100% not regret it. Our wedding planner Dan is absolute SAINT of a human and you are extremely lucky if you get to work with him. He became a good friend throughout the planning process as well and I miss him dearly to this day. He thought of everything we could have needed and was so helpful at all times. Anytime I had a question he was available to respond and help me through anything I had on my mind. The customer-centric mentality that this venue has is unmatched to any other venue I have heard about or experiences I have heard through others. They truly make the entire experience a breeze so that you can actually enjoy your wedding day and the days leading up to it! Our guests could not stop raving about the ambience, the food, and all the details that made our wedding day such an incredible day. Seriously if you are considering booking this venue please do it!!

My husband, Paul, and I got married at Valley View Farm on 09/03/2023 aka BEST DAY EVER. Our wedding planner, Dan, was a true hero. From the moment we did our tour in July of 2022 to the day of the wedding, he was our glue. I heard multiple times from people how relaxed I was. Brides, get yourself a Dan. He kept us on task and allowed us to be present and enjoy every moment of our day. At the end of the night, he orchestrated getting everything packed up and where it needed to be. The venue itself is GORGEOUS - the main barn with its bright natural light, dainty fairy lights and reclaimed wood was everything I was looking for. The Love Nest was probably my favorite spot, though, with all the vintage, antique touches. I walked in for that tour and within 15 minutes whispered to my Mom that we were in trouble because there were no checks in the con column of my list. Everything was very clearly explained and laid out in terms of catering and payments. They had excellent vendor suggestions for any areas where we needed something. I love that they offer tasting dinners to give couples a feel for how the wedding meal will pan out. And the food was out of this world. Stephanie & Sylvana were beyond patient planning out every little detail of our menu, noting who had allergies or restrictions. We had a smoked short rib that we still rave about. Thad was an absolute pleasure to work with for our bar planning. He even handled our slightly bizarre request to feature our ski boats on our signature cocktails sign. It was our wedding day, but we felt as though they treated the day as if it was THEIR wedding. Every detail was seen to and handled with the utmost care. If you're even a little on the fence, book yourself a tour and see for yourself what a gem this farm is. And maybe meet Molly & Dolly while you're there. Paul and I are already trying to figure out a time to go back and visit and swing by MUSE Cider bar. Reviewed on 29-11-2023

Wow wow wow where do I even begin. Valley View Farm is hands down the absolute best place to get married. The attention to detail, communication and planning process is just exceptional. My husband and I got married at VVF in August of this year. Our wedding planer, Shannon is fantastic. She paid attention to every single detail of the planning process, and nothing was forgotten. Not to mention that she is incredibly kind, and a wonderful communicator. She even bustled my dress and put in my veil on our wedding day! The planning and organization doesn't stop until the second the wedding ends. Shannon was there for every moment of our special day, and made us feel extremely comfortable. We loved how the team at Valley View Farm felt like a family. Suzy and her team make this abundantly clear by hosting delicious tasting dinners several times a year, to popping by to watch our first look. We cant recommend this venue enough!

My wife and I got married here in July 2023 and we cannot say enough about how amazing the entire experience was, and our guests could not say enough about our wedding either - they are still talking about it! The entire Valley View Farm team is incredible, especially our planner Shannon. Everyone there is so personable and goes above and beyond to make sure your day is special to you and as stress-free as possible. Shannon, the catering team, the bar team, and everyone in between has every single detail worked out, so my wife and I did not have to worry about anything at all on our wedding day - we were able to truly enjoy our day and take it all in. The venue itself is breathtaking. There are so many beautiful spaces both inside and outside. And the food and drinks are INCREDIBLE. Many of our guests have said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. We couldn't be more grateful to have found this true gem of place and to have met the wonderful team there. Our day was exactly what we wanted, and I know it would not have been that way had we booked any other venue. We can't wait to go back and visit! Reviewed on 20-11-2023

Book it!!! You're reading this because you are deciding if you want to book Valley View for your wedding - and I am here to tell you to do it!!! The location and property are gorgeous and the staff are fantastic at what they do. We felt so supported to bring our ideas to reality - from helping with vendor decisions and communication, ideating on a theme and designs, to having all the details under control. Don't let the cost throw you off - that covers all the awesome things they have to offer - no upcharging along the way for normal stuff like chairs or napkins (PS the decor is already stunning so you don't have to do much). They care about sustainability and the local community, especially with the DELICIOUS food, as well. I really can't say enough about Shannon (our wedding planner, a service that comes with your booking) who helped us have the most fantastic day. I doubt it would have been half as amazing without her. Working with her, Stephanie the catering manager, Thad the bar manager, and the whole staff to plan for over a year was easy and fun - and on the wedding day we saw them in action to make everything perfect. The owners even let us invite their farm dog, Rosie, and bought one of the horses, Penny, out to the field for us to take pictures with. I could go on about how they have literally thought of everything but really all you need to know is - if you can, you MUST book with Valley View! Reviewed on 17-11-2023

Valley View far exceeded our expectations. We are forever grateful to every single person who was apart of making our special day magical. Just to mention a few - Shannon, Maggie, Alex, Thaddeus - and so many more that I am probably forgetting! The day of our wedding was stress and worry free because of the hard work and dedication from this amazing team. The morning after, all of our decor was packed into my car, and we didn’t have to lift a finger to clean, organize, or stress over clean up. It was the perfect venue and the perfect team. We could not recommend this beautiful venue enough. Reviewed on 17-11-2023

Our experience from beginning to end was excellent. We couldn’t be happier with how everything went, every step of the way. The people, the place — all excellent and beyond our expectations. If you like a western Mass. farm/barn feel, you will love Valley View for your wedding. We used both on-property houses for two nights, and, on the day of the wedding, we used the Baldwin Loft (women) and Muse cider bar (men) to gather and prepare for the afternoon/evening pictures, ceremony, and reception. The owner Suzy is fantastic, and so is the planner Dan who handled it all for us. Dan thought of and did everything. With such expert care and attention by such a dedicated and experienced planner, and with such fantastic owners and day-of staff, we were able to relax and enjoy the entire wedding weekend at Valley View Farm.

We are almost 2 months out from our wedding and it was such a perfect, magical day. We got engaged more than 2 years ago and toured VVF with Dan in 2021. From the first time we met with him we knew the venue and the people were special. We live across the country and did our wedding planning all remotely. We couldn’t imagine a more helpful, flexible and accommodating planner to work with. Dan was always a text away and always offered times to meet that worked for us despite being 2 hours behind him meaning he was working late. We SO appreciated that. He was a phenomenal resource in all planning areas and happily jumped on phone calls when we were stuck and deciding between vendors. We got married off site and Dan offered to come to our rehearsal and act as the point person for the mass, which was great and so needed! Day of the wedding he was always right by our side checking in and ensuring all of needs were met while simultaneously running all the behind-scenes coordination. And when we had a last minute change of plans due to weather, he was outside with the amazing staff moving furniture and DJ equipment back inside out of the rain. We can’t imagine the day without Dan and the entire Valley View Farm staff. SO many of our guests took note of not only the beauty of the venue but Dan along with all VVF staff’s attention to detail, organization and kindness. We had the perfect day and so much of it was in part due to everyone at VVF! Reviewed on 31-10-2023

Wow, just wow. We recently hosted our wedding at Valley View Farm, and words cannot describe how wonderful it was working with the entire VVF team from start to finish. Alex Kessler and Christina Sheils helped keep us on track throughout the planning process, and oversaw the day of logistics (which is no small feat, especially given that it rained). Wedding planning can be A LOT, but Alex and Christina made it manageable and enjoyable, and went above and beyond our expectations consistently. We are going to miss them...they are both gems.The venue itself is gorgeous - naturally beautiful, and very well maintained. I love the story behind the property - the barns/pavillion were repurposed from nearby properties, and much of the material was reused for interior decorations (like the tables and chairs). They also offer so many decor options that you really don't need much for your big day. But if you decide to provide decorations for tablescapes and such (which I did), the VVF team helped set everything up after I explained my vision and they just killed it. I was so impressed, and it helped relieve that stress the day of. Set up and break down was so smooth, and required very little from us. And then there's the food...the catering team blew us out of the water with what they put together. We heard from our guests that this was the best wedding and food they've experienced...ever! The process of putting the menu together was smooth and easy. Main takeaway - the VVF team is a team of professional rockstars who deeply care about making your big day as stress-free and logistically smooth as possible. We are so grateful for everything they did for us and our guests, and we will certainly never forget it. <3 Reviewed on 10-10-2023

We got married in May 2023 and we had an amazing experience with Valley View. From the start of the planning process through to the wedding day, Valley View’s planning staff, Wheelhouse catering, and everyone in between were there to keep us on track and well-organized. We were re-assigned to our planner Shannon about 3 months before our wedding date after our previous planner moved on from her position. We were a bit nervous about how switching to a new planner that close to our wedding would be, but we couldn’t have been more lucky to be paired with Shannon. She was constantly available for any questions we had or ideas we wanted to run by her, and we could tell she genuinely cared about every little detail of our day. It completely down-poured all afternoon and evening on our wedding day, which could have caused some major additional stress on us. However, Shannon and her coordinators Maggie & Christina, along with Alex from Wheelhouse and the bar manager Thaddeus made it so that we had an amazing day and didn’t notice any last minute adjustments they may have made. They remained incredibly positive and kept our spirits high which gave us confidence that the day would go smoothly. We got tons of positive feedback from our guests specifically about how great Shannon was and how friendly and talented the bar & catering staff were. We also had multiple guests tell us the food from Wheelhouse was the best they’d ever had at a wedding. We couldn’t recommend Valley View Farm more to anyone considering it for their wedding.

My husband and I had a blast getting married at Valley View Farm, September of 2022! Dan LaFlamme was our wedding planner at the venue and we couldn’t have asked for a more organized or kind person to work with. He made planning the details easy and executing the event flawless. We also had the privilege of working with Dan’s husband, Jeff (Jeffrey Rivkin Photography). Jeff did an amazing job capturing the special candid moments of our wedding. He was also very flexible with working with our son (16 months old at the time). He snapped a few beautiful photographs of him that I was extremely impressed with!I also want to acknowledge the amazing food and service by Wheelhouse Catering. This was not your typical wedding food-fresh, local, creative and cooked to perfection! All of the guests commented that it was the best food at a wedding they’ve ever had!

They even recommend vendors and help find the right ones with you if you need it (found my incredible florist, photographer and DJ through them!) On top of it all, they even make their own house made maple syrup that we used for favors and they even handled that! Our wedding coordinator Dan was an ANGEL.. I don’t even know where to begin, but he was truly the best thing to ever happen to wedding planning, even from the moment we met him for a tour. From taking calls or texts at all hours of the day, giving advice on decors, vendors, and timelines, countless meetings with intricate notes, coordinating with all our vendors, to flawlessly executing our day, we will be forever grateful to him and the entire VVF staff. We even made the slogan “In Dan We Trust”, that’s how good he was.. It not only was the best day of our lives, but the best time planning it because of how easy they make it. We felt so prepared and at ease the day of, knowing they had it all under control, and did not have one hiccup. There’s not even thank you’s to them to give, but I hope anyone reading this highly considers booking, because I know you won’t regret it for one minute! Reviewed on 07-12-2022
Kelly S(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 30-07-2022 Valley View Farm is the BEST wedding venue out there! We knew from the moment we arrived for our first tour at the farm that it was the venue for us. Besides the beauty of the venue, our planner, Teri was one of the main reasons we picked VVF. She was knowledgable, organized, kind, and incredibly responsive (as was all of the staff). The staff are welcoming and treat you as part of the VVF community. The planning process was effortless due to the tools and resources they provided. Over our 2 year planning process, the staff was always available to answer questions via email, phone, or in-person. Teri worked with us through the planning process, and was also there on the day of our wedding. She worked with our vendors to make sure we stuck to our timeline and everything was in place. She was there from about 10:00am-midnight and did everything with a smile on her face. We did a first look before the ceremony and the train of my dress had a few grass marks on it. Teri and one of the day of coordinators scrubbed and blow dried my dress as we were lining up for the processional, and got all of the stains out. You won't get this kind of treatment anywhere else!From the ceremony options, bridal suite, getting ready spaces, the outdoor patio, the barn, the food and everything in between, every detail of this venue is perfection and I would recommend it 10 out of 10 times. VVF will always be one of our favorite places and we hope to continue visiting! Reviewed on 28-11-2022
Emma Sheils(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-11-2022 Booking Valley View Farm for our November 6, 2022 wedding was the absolute BEST decision! I fell in love with VVF ages ago and when it was time for us to choose our wedding venue, it was truly the only one that checked all of our boxes. We booked VVF in August of 2020, so we had a solid two years of planning. We worked with Teri, who to put it simply, is an absolute rock star. She was responsive, kind, helpful, and patient--oh so patient--with us as our vision for the day evolved throughout our planning. That goes for the entire VVF team as well. Thaddeus and the bar staff were incredibly helpful and made some really tasty drinks. Their knowledge when it came to planning our bar package was so valuable and they answered every question we threw their way. The catering team at Wheelhouse was amazing as well. Dakota and Jake really know their stuff and helped us build a menu that was true to us and delicious. On the day of our wedding, VVF was pure perfection. Teri had helped us through our rehearsal and taken all of our decor the day before, so all we really had to do was show up. The VVF staff handled literally everything, and their attention to detail was incredible. (Someone whisked my husband's grandmother's seat cushion from the ceremony to her seat at the reception before she could even think to go back for it!) Their setup of our reception space was better than I ever could have imagined. They really thought of everything and needed so little direction! Maggie was another coordinator who helped run our day and she was a ray of sunshine. She and Teri kept me calm through some morning rain showers and worked with our photo and video teams to find the most opportune times and locations for shooting. We kept right in line with the schedule Teri had made for us and there really was a plan (and backup plan) for everything. By the end of the night, VVF's staff continued to keep everything running smoothly, making sure that all of our decor and remaining personal items made it back into our cars. All we had to do was hop on the bus and enjoy our after party, which was such a relief!Valley View Farm and its staff made our wedding day absolutely incredible. Every single guest said that the location was stunning and that the staff was on top of everything. I really can't put into words how much joy we felt the entire day and how much gratitude we have for Valley View and the staff. Teri was the MVP of the day, we literally couldn't have done it without her. The amount of work she did behind the scenes coordinating with our vendors and making plans with the staff took so much pressure off us and made everything so easy. She provided us with so much love and encouragement through the entire process and we feel so lucky to be able to call her our friend. We are honored to be a part of the Valley View Farm family and look forward to visiting again soon! xoxo Reviewed on 24-11-2022
Rachel Major(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-09-2022 Planning our wedding at Valley View Farm was a dream. We cannot speak more highly of the entire VVF team, especially our wonderful planner Teri!! Our wedding on 9/10/2022 was an incredible experience. From the beginning, we knew we wanted to celebrate our wedding at the Farm. From the beautiful setting to the accommodating staff and planning model to the focus on local food, the entire experience aligned with our interests. Upon booking our date, we began working with Teri to plan the day. She provided helpful insights and feedback about our decisions. She helped ease our fears and stresses for the nearly 2 years we planned. During our wedding weekend, we stayed with our bridal party on-property, which was such a fun experience. We would highly recommend staying at the farm houses. The morning of the wedding, Teri and the team kept us on schedule while allowing for the day to flow comfortably. I still don't know if anything went \"wrong\" during the day because the team took care of EVERYTHING. The organization, set up, food, drinks and service were above and beyond our expectations. Not only did our guests have a great time, but we were truly able to enjoy every moment of the day. I am so thankful to VVF for providing a memory that will last a lifetime. We cannot wait to return to the cider bar and farm dinners to reminisce about our perfect weekend. Thank you all for such a wonderful experience! Reviewed on 18-11-2022

Our wedding was 9/24/22 and Dan was our planner -- he is one of the most thoughtful, organized, attentive and deeply kind people we've ever met. He took our vision and sent it to the moon! No detail was spared, and above all else, he made our enjoyment and ease day-of the biggest priority. We didn't hire an outside wedding planner because we felt so confident in Dan and the team, which is rare of other venues. Thad & Emma [bar + catering managers] are also fantastic.. accommodating every dietary restriction and creating DELICIOUS menu options.

The whole team was very communicative, and we had several separate planning calls with Dan himself, the catering team, and even the bar manager! Day of, the team took care of absolutely everything so we could be stress free. My partner and I attended one of the quarterly dinners a few seasons before our wedding, in order to get a sense of the food and drink style. We purchased a few bottles of cider and maple syrup right from the farm as a small wedding party gift. Originally, VVF was a higher price point than we budgeted for.

The day was absolutely perfect, and so much of that is because of the incredible staff at Valley View. We were lucky enough to have Teri as our planner, and we knew we were in the best of hands. We had a two year engagement/planning period, and Teri was completely involved the entire time, so supportive and making sure we weren't missing any important marks. The day of, she was just as, if not more, amazing, and kept every thing running perfectly, so that we could just enjoy the day. We truly couldn't have asked for a better planner, or staff in general. Our guests raved about how wonderful everyone was, not to mention the BEST food (seriously, unbelievable food), and the obviously strikingly beautiful barn. They were wonderful at including so many personal details about us throughout the venue, so everywhere you looked, it was so specific to us, and it made the day just so meaningful and special. The dance floor area is perfect, the bar is so beautiful (and with amazing cocktails!), the green truck was SO fun for us and our guests to take photos on, and the outdoor cocktail hour was so gorgeous.

From Dan, Shannon, Suzy and Alex… the bar staff too… they are one hell of a farm family and it shows. These people don’t just “run a business” they seriously want to be apart of your journey… and I’ve never seen that at any of the other weddings I’ve been to. I have been to the barn about 4-5 times now. Every time, I saw the owner (Suzy) there. She’s always smiling and super friendly. She goes out of her way to be apart of your journey too. Dan was our coordinator… he was out of this world amazing. I can’t say enough about him and how calming he was throughout the whole process. We also had Alex and Shannon too who were both super reliable and comforting. We had so many people come up to us and ask us where we found VVF! Maybe I’m bias but to me it was hands down the best venue I’ve ever been to. I’ve had people mention they wanted it there but price was high, I think it was very much worth it. All the pricing was upfront and I didn’t find they added on anything. The service was amazing and it was nice having some of the decorations there too. Also, barn really didn’t need any decorations because it’s already GORGEOUS. It stands out on its own and the ceremony barn too. I honestly think we saved on flowers due to this. There’s so many places to take pictures and the birds nest is something you will not find in a normal barn wedding, let alone anywhere. We wanted a barn wedding but with a modern twist and we got just that. It was stunning!!!! We are, forever grateful to VVF for making our day so special. They packed up our entire car too and were super organized. We appreciated it so much. I should also note we had a winter wedding, and it was the BEST!!!!! Thank you so much VVF. Xoxo!!!!

Taylor Maniatty(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 07-08-2021 Planning a wedding during a pandemic is something I would recommend to no one, however planning a wedding at Valley View Farm (even during a pandemic) is something I would recommend to everyone. For two years I have marveled at the pure excellence in which the VVF team has designed a venue that fosters and celebrates love, built a team that quickly becomes like family (in terms of the degree of trust and comfort), and streamlined the process of wedding planning to the perfect balance of an art and a science. The result is a day of your life that you cannot wait to share with your family and friends because every last detail is beautiful, unique, well done, and warm. A wedding may only last a day but with the amount of care that goes into planning and executing your vision at Valley View Farm, the couple is left with a lifetime of memories reliving the magic of the day. Dan LaFlamme was originally assigned as our wedding planner but he ultimately and graciously served as our sanity, our patience, our wedding expert, our advocate, and our lifeline. I would never want to plan a wedding in a pandemic again but I would do it 100 times over if it meant I got to do it with Dan by my side. Dan makes you feel like no question is too detailed, no concern is unwarranted and no issue is too big to overcome. I wish I could quantify how many people (guests, wedding party, family) that told me how impressed they were with Dan’s investment in making our day as special as it was, but there are way too many to count. His involvement is perfectly in sync with your foreseen and often unforeseen needs, as he is always ten steps ahead but never makes you feel rushed or overwhelmed. A wedding goes by so fast but planning a wedding at VVF is an enjoyable journey that leaves you and your significant other able to focus on what is most important, which is getting excited for your day and everything that is to follow. This venue treats every couple as their only wedding while leveraging their expertise from a truly impressive number of completed weddings. I would have said there are no words to express my gratitude for VVF enabling my husband and me to start our marriage on the perfect note but in fact, there are infinite words because the goodness they create is something I will always find new ways to cherish and express. But for now, thank you to VVF (and special thanks to Dan) for the lifetime of memories! Reviewed on 30-08-2021

Fast forward to February of 2020 and within a week of getting engaged, I was begging my now husband to go look at Valley View. Although he thought we should enjoy the excitement and wait a little to start planning our wedding, he agreed to go visit the farm. To say we were both blown away upon stepping foot on the property, would be an understatement. As we got back into the car, my husband turned to me and said, “we can’t look anywhere else – this is where we’re getting married”. From start to finish, the team at Valley View, especially Dan, made our rollercoaster of an experience planning a wedding during a pandemic, seamless. As you can imagine with the uncertainty of everything, anxiety levels were high, but Dan was calm and collected the entire time – which I completely appreciated, as I was not (haha). An event planner myself, I was worried about all the day of details, but come wedding day, I didn’t have to worry about a thing and could fully enjoy the day – Dan took care of every single detail. I really cannot say enough about Dan; he was such a joy to work with and meeting him was one of our highlights of wedding planning. Our day at Valley View in June was perfection – from Dan hand feeding me appetizers so I wouldn’t get anything on my dress, to Thaddeus’ amazing signature cocktails, to how beautiful the farm looked – everything was flawless. Two months later, my family, friends, husband and I still cannot get over how beautiful the day was, and how Dan and the Valley View team made our wedding day exactly how we pictured it. I highly recommend Valley View to anyone looking for the perfect wedding venue. Reviewed on 13-08-2021
Nicole Sebes(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-07-2021 Everything about this venue is amazing! From the staff (Alex is the best coordinator ever, Tad makes fantastic drinks, etc.), to the views, and the ease of planning with step by step help along the way -- I wouldn't change a single thing about booking our ceremony and reception here. We live in CT and our guests all drove around 1.5 hours to get here and not a single person complained because they all said the venue was breathtaking! I highly recommend taking pictures with Molly & Dolly! Having a Google Sheet planner through the whole process made everything seemless and Alex was available via text, email, and phone calls whenever I needed him! We felt like a part of the family every time we came to visit and we will definitely be coming again for events and the Muse Cider Bar!

Erica Shore(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-06-2021 Wow. I don't even know where to begin to explain how incredible this venue is, from all the staff, to our wedding coordinator, bar manager, to the beauty of the farm. Our wedding was on 6.20.2021 and we were planning the wedding through COVID. Our wedding coordinator went above and beyond to have frequent conversations with me and my mom to discuss all the details of our wedding. Alex, our coordinator, provided honest advice, helped us think outside the box, and always reassured us that everything would be perfect. Our wedding was beyond perfect, thanks to Alex and his team. He worked with us to bring our dream wedding vision to life, he worked with all our vendors to ensure they were in sync with the timeline of the day. Because of his attention to detail, the wedding ran flawlessly.One major point to also state here is that our wedding was a full kosher wedding. We brought in a caterer from New York who had to \"kosher\" the kitchen, ensure all the utensils for the bar were kosher, as well as the fruit, syrup, alcohol, etc that was used at our wedding. Alex and his team were patient and worked hand in hand with our caterer to ensure the wedding would be perfect and that the caterer would be able to do his job seamlessly. Thank you to VVF for allowing us to have our dream wedding, but also accommodate our kosher guests and family.I could not recommend this venue more, it is beyond perfect and I could not have asked for a more perfect wedding. Thank you to VVF for making all our dreams come true!! Reviewed on 05-08-2021
Allison Nastasia(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-06-2021 This review is long overdue – but I just wasn’t sure how to write down in words just how much everyone at Valley View Farm worked to make our wedding day as amazing and beautiful as it was. To write this review means its over and I am not sure I’m ready for that! I have to tell any brides/grooms looking at VVF for their wedding DO IT! Aside from the absolutely stunning setting that is Valley View their team is just as stunning. Teri is amazing an absolute gem of a person to work with. Planning a wedding during covid is hard but Teri and her team never made me feel like a burden with all the questions and concerns I was throwing at her. From our very first sit down meeting where Teri and Thad sat down with us and went over our entire day and cocktail menu. I did not have to stress about one thing when it came to planning this wedding – Teri sent me vendors that came highly recommended by VV and they were all a pleasure to work with! Thaddeus made the most amazing signature cocktails for our guest that they are still trying to recreate these! The vision I had in my head was nothing compared to what Teri and her assistant Shannon put together for us the day of. These two women never stopped moving from beginning to end! So I again I can’t stress this enough, if you are considering VVF just do it! The stress this amazing venue saved me and my family while planning our wedding is unimaginable. I was the most calm I have been on my wedding day and that is all due to Teri and her team. Reviewed on 03-08-2021

From our first visit to VVF on a cold, February day when we met the staff and toured the grounds, everything about our experience exceeded our expectations. We worked closely with Alex through multiple logistic scenarios (due to Covid and varying guest count restrictions), and he was there to guide us and make honest, helpful recommendations every step of the way. And there is not enough we can say about Alex!! He was always responsive, always calm, always reassuring, and always very positive. He made our experience with VVF easy, fun and memorable from the very beginning as he coordinated with the other vendors and managed all the logistics so we could truly enjoy our beautiful wedding.

We started planning our wedding in July 2019 with plans for an October 2020 wedding. When COVID-19 threw a wrench into the mix, our event planner, Dan, made us feel more than confident that things would be taken care of and that we would figure it all out. Despite the unprecedented obstacles, we were able to have a small ceremony in October that was perfect, and had our reception in June 2021 which was just as special. Throughout the entire process, Dan was so kind and constantly in communication with us. VVF knows exactly what they’re doing and makes the planning process easy with lists and reminders, making sure all goes according to plan. Not only were we so pleased with the service and hospitality, but the farm itself is absolutely stunning. So many of our guests mentioned on more than one occasion how beautiful the venue was.

Kiley Melillo(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-06-2021 Our experience getting married at Valley View Farm this past June was everything and more. After seeing the venue for ourselves, we were so excited to share the magic of it with our loved ones. There is so much natural beauty to appreciate throughout the property and it’s obvious the love and care that has gone into each aspect of the farm. Each of the unique spaces are beautiful on their own, but come together to create a truly wonderful setting with so many opportunities to create lasting memories. Beyond the venue itself, perhaps most importantly, we cannot say enough good things about the team at VVF. The owners, Suzy and David, are so welcoming and offer such good vibes. I will never forget touring the venue and learning the history behind so many of the details, both big and small. We had the joy of working with Dan, who made what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process (especially after having to postpone twice), fun, easy, and exciting. He thought of everything, from the moment we started planning to the day after our wedding, and we would have been lost without him. I don’t necessarily miss planning a wedding during a pandemic, but I do miss working with Dan! Lastly, we can’t leave out the excellent bar services - Thaddeus worked with us to create perfect signature drinks and ensured all of the details were covered. Everything came together in a way that was even better than what we hoped for, and we cannot imagine having gotten married anywhere else. Thank you to everyone at VVF for making us feel so special and helping us share such a special day with our family and friends. Reviewed on 14-07-2021

When our wedding coordinator found Valley View Farm and they had only 1 Saturday left for the summer, we knew it was fate. From the first person we talked to at the Farm all the way to the morning after our wedding, it was more than we could ever have imagined. I never thought we’d get married in such a beautiful location and top it off with the friendliest, most knowledgeable planners & staff. It was a dream come true!! Valley View is a well-oiled machine which takes so much of the stress away from planning. While proving they know what they’re doing, they also make you, your family & all your guests feel like the only ones to ever get married in this beautiful place! Alex is a gem to work with and really provides a personalized touch to everything. He truly got to know my (now) husband & I, providing advice and guidance when appropriate. We loved going to Valley View and hanging out (planning) with Alex because it felt so comfortable. The team provides everything a bride, or a wedding vendor would want in a shared Google planner with a detailed schedule, seating chart template, layout, bar details, etc. I was able to share it with all our vendors, so we were all on the same page leading up to the wedding and day-of.

We knew immediately after arriving that it was the right fit in terms of atmosphere and aesthetic – with the main barn having AC in the summer, indoor bathrooms, areas for bridal party to get ready, a pavilion for a covered ceremony, on-site parking, and the absolutely STUNNING setting… I can’t imagine anyone not falling in love with this venue if you’re looking for a barn/farm/modern-rustic location. Where the magic really is though, is with Valley View’s staff!! We were most impressed with how seamless the whole experience was… and we owe all of that to Dan and Sue! We were also blessed to be able to work with lots of other wonderful people/vendors as well and we loved that VVF gives people the flexibility to work with who they want – this made our experience extra special. I didn’t know much about wedding planning and hadn’t put much thought into the details until we booked our venue… so we feel very lucky that Dan was such a seasoned professional and thought of everything we didn’t! I’ve heard so many brides say they were SO stressed during the wedding planning process, and while there were things that are inevitably a lot to take in (finances, etc), Dan and Sue really made all our anxiety go away when it came to the day-of and coordinating things between vendors and even with family members who wanted to be involved.

Upon stepping foot onto the farm we knew we wanted to change our date so that Valley View could be our venue, we didn’t even want to look anywhere else.

They all always had a smile and were there to help with any task big or small. Teri was truly the best on wedding day, as I was stressing about the cold & rain she calmed my nerves and made sure everything went perfectly. She also did an excellent job coordinating with all of our vendors beforehand.

Nicolette Morin(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-10-2019 If you think the photographs are beautiful, just wait until you visit the venue! The farm is also available for your engagement photos. The landscape, ceremony space, spacious patio with fire pits, bar, and reception barn is gorgeous. There is even a space for the bridal parties to get ready the day of the wedding which was a big plus for us. This was the one and only venue we looked at, and that was enough for us. I was such a nervous bride, but Dan took care of absolutely everything and made me feel so relaxed. Anything I needed, Dan was there. Dan also met with me multiple times for planning and replied to me almost immediately whenever I had any questions. Thank you Valley View Farm for a perfect wedding day! Reviewed on 05-11-2019
Aly Richards(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-10-2019 From our first visit we felt so welcomed! We were greeted by Dan, Alex, Sue and David with hugs, which made us feel right at home! I consider myself an organized person and a planner however Dan really took the lead on everything. There were so many details that I hadn't thought of in the months and weeks leading up to the wedding but Dan was there! He was on top of anything and everything that needed to get done (even fluffing my dress for pictures the day of). From the option to have some alone time right after our ceremony to take it all in with a drink and appetizer, to ideas from Thaddeus for our signature drinks, the staff members at Valley View were always there to offer their fantastic suggestions. They were available via email, text, or phone anytime we had a quick question or needed to talk longer and make sure the whole day was planned out in detail. The collaboration with our vendors was much appreciated as well. We did have a miscommunication with details of the bar, however Thaddeus and the team worked with us to come to an amicable solution. The grounds are beautiful and there is a little bit of everything (orchards, sunflower fields, horses, barns, woods, etc.). We received many compliments in regards to our wedding and definitely recommend Valley View! Reviewed on 05-11-2019
Nicole Evans(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-10-2018 From the moment we first stepped foot into Valley View Farm we knew this would be where we would say \"I Do\". Even though the pavilion was not completely built and they had not yet held any weddings on site, there was no doubt in our minds that this was it. What we didn't know was just how perfect our day would be! Our guests enjoyed a beautiful Fall evening sipping delicious signature cocktails on the stone patio, cozied up by the fire pits after dinner and danced the night away in the barn. The entire team at Valley View was incredibly professional and wonderful to work with. Dan and Alex were our Event Coordinators and we cannot say enough about these two amazing guys! They were there with us every step of the way, from initial detailing meetings, coordinated with our vendors the week of and made sure we kept to schedule on our wedding day. Dan and Alex made it so stress free and easy for us to relax and truly be in the moment. We had the most perfect wedding day at Valley View Farm and to them we will be forever grateful.

Kristin H(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 31-08-2019 Valley View was the perfect venue for our wedding. We choose VVF after looking at many venues in the New England area. The physical spaces, scenery, and vibe is what really sold us on having our wedding at VVF. However, what made our wedding so fun and seamless was the team at VVF. Dan and Alex were so helpful with organizing our wedding and giving suggestions and tips. And then the entire team pulled everything together - coordinating with our band and photographer, making delicious cocktails, and just overall great service. We had an absolute blast at our wedding and couldn’t have asked for anything more. Don't look further, go check out Valley View! Reviewed on 15-10-2019
Jacqui Dixon(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 27-09-2019 Valley View Farm is a dream come true if you're looking for beautiful rustic venue with outstanding staff to help you on your big day. The barns for both our ceremony and reception were breathtaking and the grounds are meticulously up-kept.The staff is beyond helpful, they were in contact with me every step of the way. Alex and Dan are amazing to work with and will put you at ease. Dan ensured all of our needs were met the day of the wedding before we even knew we had them!Overall it was one of the most memorable days of our lives, if I could do it over again, I would 100% chose Valley View Farm.

Alessandra Denys(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 06-09-2019 Absolutely spectacular!!!! Dan Alex Susie and the entire staff made our wedding absolutely perfect. I didn’t have to think about ANYTHING on our day. Everything was just so perfect. Valley view is worth every penny and I could not have asked for anything more from a wedding venue. Many brides say that they don’t remember much of their day because they were so busy running around, but at valley view they took care of everything and kept me on track to the point where I honestly didn’t have to think about anything. Talk about a class act. Reviewed on 06-10-2019
Reg M(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-09-2019 Honestly, where to start with Valley View? Everything was amazing. First, the space is beautiful and flexible. Want an outdoor ceremony? Done. They've got a beautiful set up for that. Did it end up raining on your wedding day (like it did ours), also not an issue. There is a beautiful pavilion that sacrifices nothing in term of beauty or charm. Then, the reception space in the Yellow Barn is also perfect.Those are the obvious things about VV. The things you can't tell from pictures is that the staff at VV has literally every detail figured out. Working with Alex and Dan was a dream. Their focus and hard work made our wedding memorable, full stop. Need a drink during photos? done. Looking for a particular guest, found. Alex and Dan are the type of folks who will anticipate anything you need before you know you need it. They alone are worth it at Valley View. Reviewed on 30-09-2019
Kelsey LaValle(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-09-2019 My husband and I cannot say enough about Valley View Farm. From the moment we drove up after researching online, we fell in love. Sue was so pleasant to talk to initially and then her amazing event coordinators and bar manager took it from there. Dan LaFlamme was our main coordinator and he is just amazing. I didnt have to worry about one thing because he covered all aspects prior to the day of. Dan is organized, friendly, quick to respond, personable, and insightful. Alex was another coordinator whom we worked with closely, and he was equally as great! the bar manager, Thaddeus, was also easy to work with and responded to emails quickly. My husband enjoyed talking to David about trucks and tractors, and he was especially grateful that Sue and David allowed him to bring his own antique tractors onto the property for our wedding. thank you so much VVF for a truly unforgettable and absolutely perfect wedding day.

Corinne Eckstein(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-08-2019 We had our wedding at Valley View last month. From the second we walked through the doors to view it to the walk out to our shuttles at the end of our wedding the attention to detail, patience, creativity and knowledge were spectacular. The team at Valley View loves weddings and treats you like you are the only wedding they are doing all year throughout the whole process. Dan and Alex were so wonderful. They made sure all of our dreams came true and did not let anything slip. The venue is beyond gorgeous and we continue getting compliments on the venue, the staff and the drinks!!

Erica Southerland(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-08-2019 I grew up in Northampton and had given up hope on being able to get married in my hometown until Valley View opened. I had my wedding in August and it was absolutely perfect in every way it could be. The venue and team is a unique combination of a high end full service luxury venue while also being completely customizable and personal. Despite the fact that our wedding was on a Saturday and there were weddings on the Friday before and Sunday after, I felt like that had been planning all year for just our wedding. The pictures don’t do the venue justice. There are hidden spots all over the property for photos and experiences that you can only see once you’re really there. The pavilion and barn were perfect locations for our ceremony and reception and the patio is a breathtaking location for the cocktail reception. In the year and a half from when we signed our contract and our wedding day they had made many improvements (that they barely needed) and I know they have no plans on stopping. I’m almost a little jealous of everyone who is coming after us! The bar program is something our guests just will not stop talking about. They have gone out of their way to make sure the bar is customizable and caters to all kinds of guests. Our specialty cocktails were designed for us specifically based on what we told them we like—it was an unbelievable perk! There is so much that can be said about the venue and benefits of the property but the real highlight is the team. I’ve been planning major events in Massachusetts for about 10 years and this is hands down the best event team I’ve ever worked with. They provide you with everything you need to be successful on your wedding day from detailed spreadsheets and to do lists, endless lists of potential vendors, and invaluable advice. Our coordinator was Dan and he was beyond words incredible. He was honest and collaborative, patient and creative. He made me feel at ease and entertained from the beginning and allowed me to completely let go and enjoy the day. That was the greatest wedding gift we received. I wish I could keep this incredible place all to myself, but it’s too good not to share—if you are thinking about getting married at valley view, think no more. You won’t find a better place or group of people. Reviewed on 09-09-2019
Lori Morway(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 26-07-2019 Perfection!!We had our wedding at Valley View Farm on a Friday in July 2019. From the moment we stepped onto the property we knew this was where we wanted to have our wedding. From the gorgeous barn for the reception to the picturesque landscape – it was like a dream! Throughout the entire process we were constantly reminded what a good decision it was. Alex and Dan were awesome in helping us plan and thought of everything, literally everything! They were thoughtful, pleasant, fun, and most of all sincere in making sure that every detail was taken into consideration and that we didn’t have to think about anything that day and could just concentrate on enjoying it. Dan was fantastic as our coordinator on the actual day of the wedding. I honestly can’t say enough about how he made sure we had the most perfect day – and we did. Every detail was planned flawlessly - vendors were coordinated, the schedule was adhered to, everyone was where they should have been at the right time, and most of all everyone had a wonderful time. The icing on the cake, so to speak, was that so many of our guests told us that it was the best wedding they ever attended!

Zack Ferguson(groom)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 02-08-2019 We could write a novel about everything that we love about VVF but for the sake of our review we’ll keep this short! It all began for us after a tour of the farm when we quickly realized no other venue was going to have quite the same unique magic or as fun planners to work with. After setting a date we received access to a google doc which was so helpful In staying organized. As our date got closer we met with Alex and Dan, who were the best at taking in all of our ideas and helping us to realize them within VVF. This was also when we met the owner, Suzy who was so kind and welcoming while sharing the history of the barn with us. All of the planners were so responsive leading up to our wedding day and truly made us feel like we were their only wedding, when of course that was not the case!We took full advantage of VVF’s list of preferred vendors and were delighted to have food, and entertainment our guests raved about. Our rehearsal day was expertly conducted by both Michelle, and Alex and gave us peace of mind for the next day knowing they knew exactly how to pull off a seamless ceremony for us. Arriving to VVF the day of was made so exciting by seeing our names beautifully calligraphed by Michelle on the chalkboard. Having the Love Nest for the bridal party and the Sugar House for the groom and company to head to upon arrival was such a treat. Both locations are picturesque for getting-ready photos with distinct character you can’t find elsewhere. Michelle and Alex were always ten steps ahead keeping us on schedule and being right there with essentials like pins for boutonnières or even something smaller like a mint after the father of the groom decided to have his first cigarette in 30 years. Our first look was a once in a lifetime, incredible moment for us that was so beautifully coordinated by Michelle, and Alex. It was made all the more practical with use of the golf carts to get way out to the spot we chose in a nice little clearing of a wooded area. The Hemenway Barn looked like a dream for our ceremony with long flowing white curtains at every beam. We so appreciated Michelle and Alex helping us get the most bang for our buck out of our florals by moving a few pieces from the ceremony to the reception where they could be on display for the whole night. Maybe it was just because it was our wedding day, but the drinks the bartenders were making were seriously so delicious and all looked super cute and fun. They also made sure to have enough bartenders working that there was never more than a three person line for a drink. Michelle and Alex made us feel so special by having our signature cocktails ready for us right after we had our recessional while we could hear the recessional song behind us with that just married feeling! We chose to take pictures with the wedding party and sparklers outside at sunset and Michelle was right there lighting them up for us! We closed out the night dancing in the Yellow Barn which has the perfect amount of space so that guests were neither crammed too tightly or spread out too far. We chose to rent the Farmhouse and the Apple House for the night which was so nice to be able to take it all in with our friends and family without having to go anywhere. We may have not been brief in our review after all, but that is only because we are so in love with everything and everyone at Valley View Farm!! Reviewed on 18-08-2019

Melissa Randon(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 20-07-2019 There is simply no other place to consider hosting a wedding than Valley View Farm. After driving in past the swimming hole, venturing up the drive way, and passing the farm house and sugarhouse, when you see the yellow barn atop the hill surrounded by gorgeous landscapes, you will know and you will feel it too. Suzy, Michelle, Alex, Dan, and the rest of the gracious staff at valley View Farm are not only attentive to every single detail but so comfortable to work with. You feel apart of the VVF family when you’re there. During the planning process we were blown away by their prompt and effective communication to help every need and question. Despite the hottest day Michelle, Suzy, Alex, and Teri remained cool and calm and reassured every moment to its perfection. They added misters to the outside bar area the day before to fight the extreme heat and humidity. Our guests were overwhelmed by the service, views, and property as well. The entire process was so incredibly wonderful and we cannot thank VVF enough for helping to preserve a beautiful day that we will remember forever. Reviewed on 05-08-2019

Valley View Farm was me and my husbands first and last stop in our search for the perfect wedding venue, way back in January 2018. Fast forward to June of 2019 and it was the venue for our amazing wedding. The owners of the farm, David and Suzy, are committed to keeping the most immaculate farm, which served as the setting for both our ceremony and reception. David gave us the grand tour (his passion and love for the farm really sold it for us!), and Suzy went above and beyond in keeping in touch throughout the planning of our wedding. The staff at Valley View is beyond amazing. I mostly worked with Dan and Alex, who were both tremendous. They both constantly checked in, and helped with the planning process. Thank goodness for them, because there are definitely details that would have fell to the wayside, had it not been for them. Dan made the day of the wedding flow seamlessly. When I say as the bride I didn’t have to think about anything but enjoying myself day of, I’m not exaggerating. Dan was always ten steps ahead and had everything ready to go!

The ability to host the ceremony under the covered pavilion was also a great way to have the outdoor, scenic ceremony that I had always imagined while protecting guests from the hot sun. It all made for such a memorable and unique wedding experience. The staff was also incredibly helpful and personable throughout the planning process and they truly guided us along the way.

Suzy grew up in New York City on Park Avenue where she joined her family who have been working in the the wedding business for four generations. Her husband, David, grew up down the road from Valley View Farm, never knowing that someday that farm up on the hill would be his. He is a third generation farmer and maple sugar maker who started boiling sap when he was ten. Together they have created a secluded wedding destination where his rustic utility and her sophisticated sensibility court one another.
