I do not even know where to begin in expressing my gratitude for Billiam and his entire team. From start to finish we had a stress free and dream experience. Billiam stayed in constant contact with us throughout the process and provided us with his most trusted vendors.

Friday we had the most magical, fairytale welcome dinner. When I walked in and saw the lights spread over the trees and gorgeous flowers set up my eyes filled with tears at the creativity and thoughtfulness of Biliam and his team. It is hard to even describe how beautiful and romantic it was. Our guests cozied up by fire pits and ate under the stars. Everyone told us it was one of the most beautiful nights they had ever been apart of.

Ceremony- There are not enough words to describe how beautiful it was.

Billiam and Cathy always made sure we were well fed and truly took time to experience our wedding. We were a bride and groom who got to enjoy their wedding as much as our guest.

Anything we needed was handled with ease by Billiam and Magic Cathy. They truly make magic happen! Their support and care with our wedding made our entire experience so enjoyable. I know other brides often felt like they couldn't reach their venue, but I never experienced that feeling. Billiam was constantly available to us to answer our nervous questions, provide advice and over that time became a dear friend.

My husband and I will truly miss working with this team. We would recommend this venue to anyone looking to have a beautiful, intimate wedding that your guests will never forget. "Best wedding ever!" was a near constant refrain.

We receive quite a lot, but these are a few from bride, groom, mothers, fathers and siblings.

November 2019

Billiam-
Now that the dust has settled I want to send my personal thanks to you, Rocky (!), magical Cathy and the rest of your spectacular crew for a stunningly job well done. Thank you for creating an experience for Jack, Amanda and our families and friends that was truly exceptional. We will forever cherish the memories of that day.
Best regards,
Laura

Hi Billiam

My mom is a local caterer and was highly impressed with Liberty View Farm after coordinating a wedding there this summer. I would love to learn more about potentially hosting a wedding in Aug 2020. Would you be able to provide my fiancée and I with additional information?

Thanks!
I look forward to hearing from you soon

Thank you note

Billiam,

So many words come to mind when I think of this year: joy, kindness, generosity, illumination. You were all of these things and more. Your joy during the planning made this year so much fun. Your kindness and generosity when it came to adapting the farm to my vision was incredible. You have a very rare gift in your kindness toward others and it was clearly infectious with my family in the planning of our wedding. Throughout this year you illuminated my vision. I had many ideas, but it was you and your team who put them into action and turned them into something truly beautiful.

The months leading up to the wedding were so much fun because of your encouragement and constant support. The weeks before the wedding were exciting and incredibly joyous because of the tips you gave me and my family. The days before the wedding, while busy, reminded me that the farm is something ever changing for the better and always beautiful because of the effort you put into it.

The wedding weekend itself was a dream. I knew what most of the pieces would look like, but together it was a truly flawless execution of my wishes and dreams. With the help of your team, you helped me enjoy every single moment.

I cannot even begin to thank you for this year, these past months, weeks, days, and for the most beautiful wedding weekend I could have ever imagined. It was out of my wildest dreams.

From the bottom of my heart, Thank you.

Laura & Brandon

Liberty View Farm and wedding carters in Highland is known for its attention to detail. The ambience truly comes alive at each unique wedding, party or event. The bucolic land and vibrant energy harkens back to my youth in Europe and NYC. I have gleaned knowledge from years of attending parties and fundraisers my family have hosted and attended. I have always been impressed with the smallest details and spectacular decorations that creates the most visual impact. I've combined my life experience and desire to be surrounded with natural beauty along with the responsibility and hard work to make each event memorable. Each special couple on my farm has the opportunity to utilize our seasonal veggies and produce like the plethora of organic biodynamic apples or freshly cut flowers to create a joyous and romantic wedding day that leaves everyone with lasting memories.

Liberty View Farm provides a wonderful backdrop, a clean slate where together with our clients we produce a wonderful wedding experience. Hosting a wedding on our farm can be as simple or elaborate as one wishes. The farm, it's gardens and views have all been designed to make the most of every celebration. Around every corner is another beautiful view. Every function was taken into consideration when gardens were planned. The principal site plan was designed with many things in mind so having an event here on the farm flows as people walk and even where vehicles drive and parking is out of site but very close by. We actually call our staff and people we work with 'Producers' because we see our wedding couples as the Stars! Our attention to details is unsurpassed. These are just a few reasons why Liberty View Farm is the best farm wedding venue in the Hudson Valley.

Liberty View Farm Weekend Wedding Venue is a minimum four-day event where you connect with family and friends on a much deeper level. Friday rehearsal in the late afternoon and then rehearsal dinner right here on the farm. Saturday- the Wedding! Cocktail reception, lawn games, dinner, dancing in barn (barn weddings are the best!) then close the night with a bon fire. Sunday- brunch! And Mid August thru end of October you and your guests go apple picking right after brunch! If you get married earlier in the season you come back in the fall and invite your guests to go apple picking.

“Liberty View Farm includes almost everything you need for your wedding, all you have to do is choose the food, drink, music and of course what you’re going to wear! We make it beautifully simple, saving you lot’s of money and time!”

Liberty View Farm includes quite a lot more than other venues. In fact when you sign the contract he invites you as his overnight guests, he cooks and or has dinner brought in and sits down with each couple for a few hours to go over their wants and needs.

Libertyview Farm is AMAZING! The perfect place for a rustic farm wedding, our fall wedding was beyond perfect. The farm setting is great for rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception. The farm as a house you can use to spend the weekend in, and a great Yurt Cabin in the apple orchard that is a cozy and romantic space for newlyweds after the wedding.

I cannot say enough good things about Liberty View Farm. The location is absolutely stunning! If you are looking for a Pinterest perfect wedding in the Hudson Valley, this is the place to get married. Billiam and his staff were so helpful and responsive, eliminating any stress I might have felt going in. I had to change venues less than 2 weeks out from my wedding and Billiam swooped in like a knight in shining armor to save my big day. I cannot wait to visit the farm again and pick apples. Everything was honestly perfect.

Our dream come true!

I don’t often leave reviews BEFORE a service is completed but what we have experienced thus far is totally worth sharing with all of you—cloud 9 doesn’t even begin to explain it. Wedding planning, as most of us know, can quickly become overwhelming. It isn’t always easy to find venues that can meet ALL if not MOST of our standards. However, we happened to stumble upon Liberty View Farm in our search for the perfect, elegant yet rustic venue that was able to check off all of our ‘must-haves’. While searching and driving all over within an hour range from us, we had found this gem just about 2 miles from our home. From my very first phone call to Billiam, I knew we had found something special. But once we stepped foot on his property and had finally met in person, we instantly felt the magic. No joke, I kept glancing over at my fiancé and mouthing “this is it, let’s sign the contract”..meanwhile, we had only been there 5 minutes. Billiam has a way about him. He is open, honest, inviting, passionate, energetic, and caring. He absolutely LOVES his property and takes great pride in what he does, and it radiates from his every word. He takes great care in matching the couples to his farm, making sure that it is indeed a perfect fit for both parties involved. He is 100% invested in making this not just a party, but a weekend long celebration that will be forever remembered. The property is gorgeous and unique and what Billiam offers is unbeatable. From the handmade farm tables, to the rustic and vintage decor, to the flexibility, local accommodations, and our WEEKLY phone calls (yes, we speak at minimum, once per week to catch up and see where we are at) — we are completely satisfied! We feel blessed, CALMER, and sooo excited to have our wedding there October 19th, 2019! We will certainly share our final experience with all of you, but I am confident in knowing that it will be the best weekend of our lives.
