2 Unique Spaces to Host Your Ceremony & Reception
The Combination Wedding Experience
If you’ve been dreaming about a rustic, chic barn wedding, but you’ve also imagined something sleek and sophisticated.
It may feel close to impossible to get exactly what you want in a venue.
But the truth is, you really can have it all — if you know where to look.
Imagine the Possibilities of a Dual-Venue Wedding
Your dual-venue wedding will include lasting memories at two scenic, historic locations: our Fox Hill Farm barn and the restored factory warehouse at 6th & River — a best-of-both-worlds experience.
And it all begins right on our 19th-century farm...
You’ll enjoy our ceremony site with benches and an arbor with space for the wedding party to prepare at our Fox Den and romantic farmstead Cottage. (You can even stay in the cottage on your wedding night if you so desire!)
And, since our pastured poultry and grass-fed cattle can be real scene stealers, you’ll have ample time for photographs across the farm’s sprawling, pastoral 80 acres and lush floral gardens.
Then you’ll make your way over to 6th & River, a historic warehouse along the Lackawaxen River.
Its 25-foot ceilings with wall-to-wall windows fill the space with cascading light, and the exposed brick walls bring a timelessness to the venue.
You’ll enjoy both your cocktail hour and reception at 6th & River with plenty of time for drinking, eating, dancing, and enjoying the company of your loved ones and friends.
Simply put, the entire experience is curated to give you the most unique wedding day and everlasting memories.
