Homestead Blessings Reviews

I cannot say enough good things about this family run business! From the first day we toured the venue, it felt like the perfect unique spot for our day as it was not like any other wedding venue I had been to before. When you book, you get the renovated barn for your wedding and reception in addition to the farmhouse across the road for the entire weekend. We ended up renting the ranch house next door to the farmhouse also so there was enough room for the entire wedding party to stay on site. The fact that we had the property for the weekend was a HUGE plus for us, we were able to have a central location for our families and wedding party to hang out all weekend which made it as relaxing as possible. Christianna was a huge help providing insight and tips throughout the whole planning process and was on hand the whole weekend to help with whatever came up. I had many guests tell me after the wedding weekend how kind, welcoming, and inviting Christianna, Susan, and the rest of their family was that night. We had just under 130 guests and originally had planned to have our ceremony outside in the forest ceremony spot. Unfortunately, it could not have rained harder on our wedding day and we had to make the call to move our ceremony under the tent a few days prior. I was a little worried with it being October and a high in the 60’s that day, that our guests would be cold however that was not the case. The barn floors and concrete slab under the tent attached to the barn are heated and they had heat lamps throughout making it plenty warm and luckily the rain stopped right after our ceremony so our guests could enjoy the patio areas during the cocktail hour and the fire pit where we had a cigar bar located later at night. I HIGHLY recommend this venue to have your special day!

I had my absolute dream wedding at Homestead Blessings. Christianna and her family are incredible to work with. They know what they are doing! I can’t say enough good things or thank them enough for making our dreams come true. Beautiful venue!!!

I don’t have the words to fully express the gratitude I have for the Homestead family. The facility is immaculate, land is gorgeous, and there’s an outdoor tent with heated floors that is perfect for chilly days. The venue itself is a solid 10/10 but I would be remiss to continue on without mentioning the humble, generous, hard working family running around behind the scenes to give you and your guests the BEST experience ever.
A month before our wedding day, our venue canceled. I should mention, that was our 3rd venue, thanks to covid, and our 4th plan. In desperation, I posted a “SOS” post to a FB page seeking a venue. Christianna immediately reached out to tell me they had a cancelation on our date and could accommodate us. Being an outdoorsy person, I was hooked immediately upon viewing photos of the facility and land! We went out to the barn after hours and met Sue. Sue immediately empathized with our situation and offered us such an incredible package to accommodate our 2 party covid plan. She also put us in touch with the caterer, provided florals for us, connected me with an amazing makeup artist and handled all of our decor!

Flash forward to the day of..... I had Kaela do my makeup and I have never looked so beautiful in my life! What’s more impressive is that we never had time for a trial run and she nailed the look I was going for on the first try. My mom and sister made a last second decision to also get makeup and she did all of us without hesitation. I should mention, this sweet soul is pregnant and I’m sure it wasn’t the most comfortable thing for her to be on her feet so long with a mask. She was just so sweet and so very talented! We had Emma make beautiful signs for us because we didn’t have any. Nobody asked for this, she just took it upon herself to bless us with gorgeous calligraphy! She also helped serve food and cleaned up all those dishes!! Daniel was awesome behind the bar ALL. DAY. LONG. without complaints or seeming tired or anything! Guests loved him and he handled our drink menu flawlessly! He even allowed my husband and I to light the bonfire together, such a special moment! Christianna, my heart melted upon viewing our photos and seeing her behind the scenes. She helped me with my train as I didn’t have a Maid of Honor. Nobody asked her to do this and quite frankly, I don’t think I even noticed until I looked at the photos. I can’t believe this kindhearted woman went so far as to play music at our ceremony spot, guide us along, help with my train, drive us and family around... basically she was 12 places at a time making sure things were perfect. I hadn’t even met her before this day. She did not have to help with all of those little details but our day was perfect because she did. Sue, I have no words to describe Sue. From the day we met she took us under her wing. The day of the wedding she was everywhere at once, gracefully putting stuff out, taking stuff down, sanitizing, checking on guests and staff... she ensured both parties were having the best time! She provided so much decor that she had salvaged from previous weddings since we didn’t have much to work with. When it was time for us to leave, she was still there helping us pack stuff up to take with us. She didn’t need to do that! She easily could have just watched us leave and we wouldn’t have thought anything of it.

The best part about all of this is that all these people are a family. And when you book Homestead Blessings Barn, you book the family. I would even go so far as to say you become family to them. Every single one of them cares so deeply about YOU! They make you feel like you’re the only wedding going on. They go out of their way to do extra little things that you won’t even think of just to make the day perfect. I was sad leaving on my wedding night. Not because the wedding was over, but because I didn’t want to say goodbye! Sue, Christianna, Emma, Kaela, Daniel, little Colton and little Celia... I love you all and am so blessed to have met you! Thank you for giving us the BEST day ever!!

All these photos show the extra touches this family made for us 🥰

The venue alone is something out of a fairy tale. It was everything we could have ever dreamed of and it was a pretty simple decision to book the venue after our first visit. We knew that even if nothing else went well, the venue would be beautiful. What we didn't know after our first visit, but would come to find out over the course of our planning & our big day, was how the PEOPLE behind the venue were what truly made our day such a dream...

Planning a wedding is no easy task. We were lucky in that we knew some of the vendors we were hiring on a personal level, which made it easier for us to put our trust in them for our big day. We did not know Christianna or Susan prior to booking Homestead Blessings as our Wedding venue-but they quickly felt like family. It was so refreshing to work with such kind, genuine, thoughtful, & professional people! They have experienced a lot of weddings over the years and were able to help us with all of the daunting little details/decisions we struggled with.

We are amazed by how much work they put into each of their events. They didn't only treat us like family, but our guests as well. We had several guests comment to us later how much they loved all of the staff at Homestead! The bartender helped the groomsmen when they battled to figure out their boutonnieres. Christianna helped me with my dress when the bustle loop broke right before our grand entrance, Susan and her husband worked late into the night to get all of our belongings in one place so it was easy for us take care of the next day. They exceeded our expectations in every way.

If you want a wedding/event in a beautiful/dreamy setting and want to work with genuinely good people, this is the perfect place.

Even if you aren't sure what you want, you should schedule a meeting with these lovely people and they will help you every step of the way!

The whole family is just a joy to be around. They let me change things several times and always had a smile on there faces. The bar tenders were friendly an awesome at making drinks and dealing with the guests. They also clean up everything except the things you bring. Personally I have never been around a better group of people

We rented the Homestead Blessings Barn for the weekend of my daughters wedding. It was everything her and her husband could hope for and more. Susan and Christianna were both a joy to work with. The barn and grounds are beautiful. The farm house across the street made getting ready so easy. The grooms family is from the UK and they all took advantage of our beautiful Finger Lakes Region. We were all left with memories we will never forget.

When I walked through the door of this barn, I knew immediately this is where I wanted to get married. There was no question and it felt perfect for our vision of our wedding day. Not only is the space GORGEOUS, the people who own the space are amazing and so helpful.

The availability of items they provide on your wedding day helps reduce the stress, you can bring your own catering in and they even have suggestions for you if you don't have any ideas. Their rentals continue to grow and we were so happy to leave a little bit ourselves there for future weddings to enjoy and see how many people use farmhouse tables at their wedding. There are SO many spots to have your ceremony and I LOVED the background of the trees on the hill and fields during blue hour. The farmhouse space to get ready at! How could you not rent it!? It was beautiful for us to get ready.

I loved my wedding so much at this space and it books up so fast. You know why? Because it's amazing! Beautiful landscapes, beautiful barn, and awesome people to help you create your day and take that stress off of you. Christianna was a lifesaver and made the day go flawlessly. I could not recommend this space enough if you are looking for rustic and modern.

An absolutely beautiful venue with such a great price! I definitely recommend checking them out for all your future events, you can't beat this price with everything that is included! Love love love homestead blessings!

Honestly I don’t even know where to start. I had the very best day and none of it would’ve been possible without all the help I had. Every little dream and detail was brought to life by the staff at Homestead Blessings, and I can’t thank them enough. They went above and beyond in every single area. 5 stars is by far not enough.
Thank you so much to everyone at Homestead blessings, I wouldn’t change one single thing❤️

The venue and the house we rented from them both were absolutely beautiful! Our day turned out absolutely perfect

Great venue! Receives so many compliments about the beauty of it all. Our day went so smoothly and we couldn’t be happier.

Awesome place. Awesome people. Reasonable and a great value

Our experience at Homestead Blessing was a wonderful experience. There were a few things that I know the owners will correct for the next person and make it better with every event they have at their venue. They are hard working and very accommodating to make it a memorable experience for all . We had a wonderful time and our family and friends were happy to celebrate with us.
Our wedding was in April and I just haven't taken the time to give a review.

Homestead Blessings is a beautiful restored barn, surrounded by rolling hills and old trees and open fields on a quiet road. The location is so convenient, only 10 minutes from Corning! The bathrooms were our favorite. The are so beautiful and unique, with two separate stalls but still enough room for the bride to change if needed. Theres a bar downstairs with a lounge area which was so great for social hour. The upstairs though is stunning. With such tall ceilings and handmade sparkling chandeliers and huge windows to make the huge doors, it was spectacular. We danced under the chandeliers all night. The outside patio is terrific and the parking area is only a short walk, with lighted stumps to guide you. Thank you again! I'll never forget it.

My sister was married at this venue and her day could not have been more perfect. From the personalized feel of the ceremony, to the amazing ambiance of the barn itself, our entire wedding party was absolutely blown away by Homestead Blessings. The setting is so peaceful and absolutely stunning. My sister was overwhelmed with gratitude for this venue. As her matron of honor, I could not recommend a better location to help a bride make her day absolutely perfect!

Our wedding at Homestead Blessings was a phenomenal experience! They helped us throughout the process giving advice and recommendations. On the day of the wedding they did whatever needed to be done to make sure the day went off without a hitch.

There's nothing bad to say about this place. We loved it and booked it right away two buddy's of mine who also are getting married looked at it and I'm telling them they gotta book it. Everyone is very friendly, like I said there's nothing bad to say about this place. Unfortunately for me after putting the deposit down my fiancé left and seeing as its non refundable I'm out... but that saves the rest of the "wedding" money for me and I can book a hunting trip or something. But since I can't enjoy this beautiful place I encourage you all to go enjoy it! You won't be disappointed.

You exceeded are expectations- You all are amazing!

My friends daughter had her wedding here and what a beautiful venue. From the beginning she knew that this was the place. This is truly a loving family who are focused on making your special day something to remember. The focus omits truely on making the bride to be relaxed (as much as possible). They even provide ideas that she didn't think of. Daytime or evening this is a spectacular place with a few that just says "welcome". You can really feel the warmth and love that the owners posses. This is truely more than a venue, you feel like they are helping plan their own family members wedding. If you are looking for a place they is over the top for service and individuality I would look no further.

I can not recommend Homestead Blessings enough! We love that we had the whole weekend to celebrate. Also having the farmhouse across the street with the option to rent the additional ranchouse made it even better. It was like a mini vacation we got to celebrate with our families together. Also a huge bonus that the rooms were clean, cute and the beds were super comfortable! The venue offered multiple ceremony spots to choose from and all of them are beautiful. The barn was so well decorated that we barely had to do any decor ourselves. The lights and drapery strung in the barn were stunning. Every guest was speechless with how beautiful everything was. Christianna and her team were the best I have ever seen. Not only were they all super friendly and helpful but they took care of any and every problem before it even became an issue. Our wedding day was the most relaxing day ever. Especially getting married during Covid19 they were able to handle everything professionally and made sure that all guidlines were handled properly. We would get married a million times at Homestead Blessings if we could. Our weekend was truly magical and even more then what we imagined.
