Blooming Hill Farm is a 100-acre working farm in Orange County, growing over 200 varieties of fruits and vegetables, with a restaurant and farm store on site. Guy Jones started farming in the Hudson Valley in the early 1980s, and Austin, Travis, and Skyler Jones own the farm now. The food is some of the best I’ve had at any wedding, and they knock it out of the park every single time.

Weddings run up to 200 guests, with a 100-guest minimum on Saturdays. The ceremony is outdoors with bench seating and your choice of arbor, and a 52-foot round sailcloth tent is the rain plan. Cocktail hour moves through the barn and the restaurant, both decorated by the farm. Dinner is in a 46 by 105 foot Sperry sailcloth tent with a wooden floor, clear side walls, heaters, fans, and bistro lighting. Both tents stay up from April through November and are included in the venue fee. The venue says parties under 75 don’t need the tent.

Catering and bar are exclusive to the farm, using its own produce when possible. Service can be a buffet, family style, or plated. Every format includes passed wood-fired pizzas and hors d’oeuvres at cocktail hour, plus a dessert bar. Bar packages are based on five hours of open bar. Tastings of your seasonal menu are held on Sunday evenings from December through March, with other couples, as the farm does not offer private ones. Tables, chairs, linens, plateware, glassware, indoor restrooms, a planning team, and a day-of coordinator are all included, so an outside planner is optional.

On cost, the venue publishes its pricing. The venue fee is $12,500 on Saturdays, $9,500 on Fridays and Sundays, and $4,500 for Friday and Sunday weddings under 45 guests. Food starts at $155 per person for a buffet, $165 or $175 for family style, and $190 for plated. Bar starts at $55 per person for beer and wine and $65 to $90 for a full bar. A 23% administrative and staffing fee and 8.125% sales tax are added, and your selections can raise the total. I ran the numbers for 100 guests on a Saturday at the lowest food and bar prices: $41,205 before tax, about $44,550 with it. Photography, music, and florals are separate.

For photos, the normal time slot is 4 to 10pm, and the wedding party can arrive at 2:30. That gives you about ninety minutes before guests arrive, so a first look and portraits around the farm fit there. The venue recommends keeping 20 people or fewer on site during that window. The 10pm end is firm because of a local noise ordinance and there’s no after-party space on site, so plan any late-night photos before then. Tell your band or DJ too: the venue provides no audio equipment, including the ceremony microphone.
