Buckley Farm Reviews

I chose Buckley farm because I always dreamt of having an elegant barn wedding. I’m more of a country girl, so the fact that this venue is a true old cow barn on a working farm, that’s one of the reasons as to why it sold me. Renting out the houses on the property was the BEST thing for our wedding. All of our bridal party and my family from down south stayed in each of the houses. They all had a blast! No worries of people driving drunk, we had a bonfire following the reception, everyone was right there on site all weekend! So many great memories made. Mark and Gina were AMAZING to work with. Extremely easy going, and very accommodating. Gina is an angel, putting up with my constant random questions (for over a year and a half!) I couldn’t have picked a better place to have had my wedding. The views are gorgeous, it’s all rustic but can be dressed up to your liking, or keep it more casual! … overall it was a fairytale for us! Our guests cannot stop talking about how much fun they had! They said it was the best wedding they’ve been to in a long time! I honestly hope to be a guest at a wedding there in the future I just loved it so much!! If you want a real barn wedding, this is the venue for you! You WON’T be disappointed!! :)

Gina was by far the most wonderful person to have help make my dream wedding such a success. Professional, pleasant & so sweet. She anticipated every thing I would need before I even asked for it. Our guests also commented on her willingness to ensure everyone had a great time!

Buckley Farms is truly a dream come true wedding venue for brides that have dreamt of their wedding on a farm! Mark was so flexible and understanding of us needing to move our date multiple times due to the pandemic. Our weekend at the Farm was so special thanks to Mark, his mother, and Gina. Definitely suggest renting all the houses for the weekend and having your wedding party and family stay! Houses are huge and are great for a big family dinner/rehearsal dinner.

Gina and Mark were both a pleasure to work with on our wedding day and leading up to the big day. They provided an abundance of support to not only us but also our vendors . We could have not asked for a better day or team to work with . Thanks for making our day perfect !

If you’re looking for the perfect barn/outdoor wedding, this is your venue! Buckley was the first venue we toured and knew right away this is where we wanted to get married! Due to the pandemic, our wedding celebration ended up getting pushed off a year and Gina and Mark were so flexible and understand through the entire process. With over 230 guests, Gina and Mark worked with our vendors to make the day absolutely perfect. The barn and grounds are absolutely stunning and everything we wanted. Multiple guests came up to me over the course of the night and told me this was by far their favorite wedding venue they’ve been to and I couldn’t agree more! Would highly recommend renting the houses on the property! It is so worth it and they are absolutely beautiful. Perfect place to get ready the day of the wedding! A special thank you to Gina for her attentiveness and accommodations for one of our guests that was wheelchair bound. She went above and beyond to make sure our guest was comfortable and we are forever grateful for that. Gina and Mark, again from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything! We truly could not be any happier with our experience at this venue and will always recommend Buckley Farm!

We were looking for an outdoor venue in Upstate New York and we could not have been happier with our decision to book WM H Buckley Farm. Mark and Gina were so accommodating and made the process of planning a cross-country wedding during COVID a breeze. From meeting with vendors, providing property maps and suggestions based on their experience, you could not ask for a better team. The venue is everything we wanted for and more for our weekend wedding and we were so happy we booked Wm H Buckley Farm. The venue is so beautiful and has so many different spaces, we ended up hosting the entire weekend on the property (bridesmaids brunch, rehearsal dinner, ceremony and reception). If you're looking in the Albany/Saratoga Springs area, look no further!

If looking for rustic/ industrial this is your venue !! I can’t express enough how beautiful this property is and all it’s amides that are available to you . Such a unique venue from the barn to the creamery and the houses on site !! Mark was absolutely fantastic to work with , anything we asked and dreamed of he made it happen !! He went above and beyond for my daughters wedding day and I can’t be more grateful for him .Ohh and his events coordinator GINA ... she is his secret weapon !!! Gina was there for us and with us from day one planning to the day after the wedding . She worked tirelessly right along with and by the side of our personal wedding planner to make sure everything was truly the best day ever and was honestly better than I/we ever dreamed of !! When we got our preview photos I must add this venues raw beauty photographs beautifully and gave our bride and groom a beautiful backdrop I know they will cherish forever !! Thank you Mark and Gina we appreciate all you did for us and giving us the perfect venue for my daughter Kennedy and her now husband Tyler’s start to their happily ever after !!

Buckley Farm was gracious enough to allow us to use their beautiful property for our wedding. The accommodations we received throughout the entire weekend far exceeded our expectations. The venue was beautiful and the houses that we stayed in were something out of a dream. Gina was somewhat of a day of coordinator and she was amazing. Anything we needed she made sure to provide. Thank you for such an amazing weekend, we will carry these memories forever. We highly recommend!!!!

I loved working with Mark And his mom. They were very pleasant and met our needs. The only thing you have to be prepared for is this is a DIY kind of place! You are renting the property, not help. They have tables and chairs there, but you need to plan to have family and strong groomsmen help you set it up the way you like the day before. After our rehearsal, which we had at the farm, I was literally rolling tables from the place we had rehearsal to the main barn area for dinner for the reception. If I could do it again I’d invest in an event company of some sort to handle this stuff, but it gets a little dicey because typically those places only set up THEIR stuff. Just do your research and understand what is included. We stayed at the farm and rented all the houses out both Friday and Saturday night for our bridal party and that was aN exceptionally unique experience too. Also, do not plan on more than 145 people max. We were at 144 and for dinner it was at capacity!

Buckley Farm was the absolute perfect venue for us to have our wedding! It was an awesome space for our 85 guests and a dance floor! Mark was amazing to work with and helped us answer all of our questions with out hesitation. He was very flexible and let us have a bonfire at the end of the night. I LOVED that we got to bring in our own caterer, and style the barn as we wished, because this allowed our wedding to be more unique! I really enjoyed that we could use any parts of the barn, milking parlor, courtyard, pond, fields etc. to have the wedding wherever we wanted on the property! It was perfect that all of our family and friends could also stay the night right on the property in the farmhouses, and nobody had to drive home unless they wanted to. The next morning we had an amazing breakfast buffet catered right to the farmhouse so as everyone woke up they could enjoy a nice hot farm fresh breakfast! Our experience was simply perfect. and we would highly recommend Buckley Farm to have a wedding or event!
