Nestled in the heart of the Hudson Valley, Blooming Hill Farm in Monroe, NY, offers the perfect blend of rustic elegance and culinary excellence. Its location and ambiance makes it a sought-after destination for couples looking to create unforgettable wedding memories. When beginning wedding planning, Sarah and Jake envisioned a wedding day full of warmth, laughter, and authentic connections. Immediately upon touring this venue, the couple knew they would be planning their Blooming Hill Farm wedding. With its picturesque scenery full of fall colors and good vibes, they knew it would be perfect for their dream wedding day.
A Hudson Valley Venue That Feeds the Soul
Blooming Hill Farm is renowned for its farm-to-table dining experience, a major draw for food-loving couples like Jake and Sarah (who happens to be a food blogger herself!). The culinary offerings are reason enough to fall for this gem, not to mention the stunning Hudson Valley views. I’ve dined there before and if I’m honest, I was almost more excited to return for the food than for the wedding itself… almost! 😉
As far as the guest experience goes, it’s truly unmatched. As city dwellers, Sarah and Jake’s choice of the Hudson Valley for their wedding was super intentional. They wanted their guests to escape the hustle and bustle for a weekend of natural beauty and celebration. The crisp autumn air and vibrant foliage created a postcard-perfect setting that highlighted the farm’s rustic charm.
One of the other unique features of Blooming Hill Farm is their in-house floral design, crafted from seasonal blooms grown right on the farm. The lush arrangements brought the couple’s vision to life, adorning every corner of the celebration, perfectly complementing the venue’s natural beauty.
From a photographer’s perspective, Blooming Hill Farm is a dream location, offering endless opportunities to capture stunning moments. The stunning canopy of trees, the creek weaving its way through the open flower fields — every corner of the property made me stop in my tracks to capture the views.
Preparing for their Blooming Hill Farm Wedding
Sarah and Jake’s wedding day began at Peach Grove House, a charming upstate retreat for the couple and their wedding party to get ready for the day. Conveniently, his idyllic Airbnb is located just a short drive from Blooming Hill Farm, making it an even more ideal location choice. It served as the backdrop for intimate moments, including a heartwarming first look and private vows exchanged on its peaceful grounds.
On her way to seeing Jake for the first time that day, Sarah ran into her dad and had a touching moment with him. He hugged her, shed a heartfelt tear, and sent her on her way to see her husband-to-be. Under the shade of the Peach Grove House’s historic front porch, Sarah and Jake shared their first look and private vows. It was a quiet, emotional moment before the festivities unfolded. Peach Grove House’s tranquil ambiance set the tone for a day that was equal parts heartfelt and celebratory.
A Celebration of Love, Laughter, and Roast To Remember
The ceremony was intimate and heartfelt, framed by the rolling hills and rustic beauty of the farm. As Sarah walked down the aisle, there wasn’t a dry eye in that field. The ceremony beautifully wove in elements of Sarah and Jake’s heritage, including a traditional Jewish chuppah and the glass-breaking ritual. Hand-in-hand, they walked back up the aisle as loved ones showered them with dried flower petals, a whimsical send-off. (Keep reading for more on the roast.)
The Dinner We All Were Waiting For
The reception was a feast for the senses. Dinner was served family-style – a perfect way to foster connection among guests. The meal featured an array of seasonal dishes prepared with the freshest ingredients that reflected the farm’s commitment to sustainability and quality. The highlight of the night was a roast — well aside from the couple, of course. Ultimately, the evening felt more like an intimate gathering than a formal wedding meal, with lively conversation and laughter filling the air. Throughout the rest of the celebration, guests took turns sharing stories, singing, and dancing the night away.
A Picture-Perfect Blooming Hill Farm Wedding
Their wedding beautifully reflected their creativity, warmth, and deep connections with their loved ones. The day perfectly celebrated their love and highlighted the beauty of sharing meaningful moments with those who matter most.
