Seven Ponds Farm

Seven ponds was an absolute dream for our wedding. The location itself is breathtaking and gorgeous. To The mountains, the ponds, the farm animals to the tasteful decorations, us and our guests were blown away by the beauty of this venue. Beyond being beautiful, the team at seven ponds farm were incredible. The team is really there for you the whole weekend and to help ensure your wedding is a success. We had several older guests in need of help, and they were driven by a golf cart around the venue which was extremely helpful. The food and drinks were amazing, our guests are still raving about the food. And Maria, was amazing. Our wedding was amazing, and our vision came true, and we couldn’t have done it without the support and help from the team here at seven ponds. We highly recommend this venue and are so thankful to the team there.

The location was gorgeous. We had a rainy day and we were still able to enjoy pockets of the outside space thanks to the staff’s quick pivoting and organized set up. They were incredibly friendly and accommodating, and checked in with us multiple times to ensure everything was running how we wanted it to. The food was delicious and sustainable. They even packed us some leftovers to take! Our guests felt so taken care of, they kept telling us much they loved it all. We would highly recommend this amazing venue!

While we were searching for wedding venues, Seven Ponds was the only one that made me cry happy tears and we knew it was the one! Min, Mort, and Maria made the experience seamless throughout the entire process. The experience we had at Seven Ponds during our stay was unmatched! We were able to have our entire wedding party plus significant others stay at the farmhouse Thursday - Sunday to play games and bond which was awesome! The view speaks for itself because the grounds are breathtaking! And the staff? INCREDIBLE! We could not have asked for more or been taken care of better. 10/10 would recommend to anyone that’s looking for beautiful views and a top notch wedding experience!

Our entire experience with the team at Seven Ponds was fantastic from beginning to end. All the way from the tour around the beautiful property on our first visit to the big day, Min, Mort, Maria, Lisa, and Cassie were all so dedicated to giving us an amazing wedding experience.

Mort and Min were so welcoming when we came to visit and at our first menu tasting, and Maria helped us make sure every detail was taken care of as we went through the planning process and kept everything organized and on time. Lisa and Cassie were invaluable on our wedding day and dealt with all the tiny details that made the day go smoothly.

We especially loved our stay at the farmhouse, it’s so beautiful and cozy and made us feel like we were welcoming guests into our own home. We definitely recommend checking in on Thursday, we felt so much more settled and relaxed the whole weekend.

We are beyond satisfied with every aspect of our wedding from the preliminary stages to planning through the day itself, the staff at Seven Ponds made it a wonderful experience and we would be thrilled to recommend it to anyone.

Beautiful property, set up wonderfully for weddings. Menu is eclectic without being off-putting, and it's deliciously prepared and presented. Staff was on top of everything and most gracious to guests as well as the wedding party. Property is remote, but there appears to be arrangements with nearby lodging as shuttle service was provided. If you're looking for a Catskills destination wedding, this is the place! If there was any doubt, the rainbow proved it! (See pics)

What a gorgeous venue! I had the pleasure of attending a wedding here in the middle of the leaves changing color. This venue has the most beautiful view! It rained the day of the wedding, but inside was just as beautiful. Staff was fantastic, couldn't say enough good about how lovely they were. 10/10!! Also, the goats were stinking adorable and provide much needed relief for those that prefer the company of animals.

Tldr: look no further, this is *the* place for your wedding! It is absolutely magical, the staff is superb and you will not believe how fun and easy organizing your wedding here will be!

My wife and I are so beyond grateful to Seven Ponds for our wedding. We could not recommend it enough – and in fact we have been to every couple we know because we cannot wait to be back as wedding guests!

From the big-ticket items to the small details, every single thing about Seven Ponds is phenomenal:

- The farmhouse is perfect to host the families for the whole weekend, we so enjoyed being able to go there one day early and just take in the beauty of the place before the festivities begin.

- The ceremony spot is just like a movie. Forget walking through the isle to the altar, how about walking by a pond with the valley behind you.

- The food is all done in-house, and it is to die for. Going there in April to do a couple’s tasting and decide the menu was so fun and so difficult! Everything that they make is simply incredible.

- Seven Ponds is so incredibly well organized for all things wedding-prep. They make it so easy you will not need a wedding planner! They have a website where you can conveniently buy add-ons and personalize your event. They have a number of forms and tracking systems to make sure you are on schedule throughout the leadup to the wedding. We always felt in great hands, we could always ask questions, and make changes.

- Every member of the staff is so friendly and genuinely there for you to have a great time. Maria, our wedding manager, was so kind, thoughtful, and well-organized. Min and Morten, the owners, are incredible people. They have so much experience with event management, hospitality, and fine cuisine, and it shows in every aspect. They are so fully engaged with their space and so deeply committed to delivering the best experience possible for couples who have the luck of celebrating their wedding at Seven Ponds!

I could go on forever about this place but I’ll close just repeating: congratulations, you have found the venue of everyone’s dreams! Now book it before someone else does!!!

I don't think words can come close to expressing how incredible our experience was at Seven Ponds. Our first wedding date was in 2020, which was postponed to Spring of 2021, and then a final move to Fall of 2021. The stress of planning and re-scheduling was alleviated with re-assurances from Min and Morton, and the official wedding date was simply gorgeous. Every one of our guests had a compliment regarding the site, food, environment, and overall experience. As a couple who was struggling to find the right venue for us outside of the city, we knew as soon as we pulled up in the snow to Seven Ponds. Min and Morton made us feel at home, and someone was there every step of the way. I highly recommend Seven Ponds, and I hope to go to a wedding here at some point to experience it from a guests perspective! We are so grateful for Min, Morton, and all of the staff for making our wedding day run smoothly and beautifully. The memories will be cherished forever.

When we first visited Seven Ponds, after seeing at least ~8 other locations, we pulled the car over and canceled all of our other remaining visits. The property was unbelievable - amazing views, beautiful land, a great house/facility.

My partner and I were originally scheduled to get married Labor Day of 2020 - obviously, those plans were impacted by COVID. We had to shift a full year later, to Labor Day of 2021. The entire team, the team at Seven Ponds was incredibly easy to work with (including rescheduling all their couples) and very communicative about the process.

The day of, everything went according to plan, and the staff were excellent to work with. No one really comments on the food at weddings, but our food and drink service was fantastic, and the day itself was magical.

Our wedding at Seven Ponds exceeded all of our expectations. The venue was stunning, the food was delicious, and the team is communicative, professional, and warm. We had the most unforgettable, magical wedding weekend in September 2023 and cannot thank the staff at Seven Ponds enough!

We got married at Seven Ponds Farm a little over a month ago and it was the most magical weekend!! Driving home on Sunday after the wedding, we were on cloud 9, just reliving all of the moments we loved, it was a special feeling. We truly had the best time!

Everything was amazing - from the relaxed rehearsal dinner BBQ, to dancing the night away in the barn, and enjoying the bonfires under the stars! Our guests haven't stopped raving to us about how beautiful the venue was, how delicious the food was and how much fun they had. It was fun to watch our guests sneaking out of the barn during the reception to take in the beauty of the view at dusk.

Lisa was amazing and I do not think we could have done it without her! She went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our weekend. Cassey was super helpful as well and also deserves our gratitude for making sure everything went smoothly.

Thank you to the whole team at Seven Ponds Farm & Blenheim - we could not have asked for a better wedding weekend!

Just an amazing amazing experience at Seven Ponds Farm for Carla and I. Thanks to the entire team for making our day go as smoothly as possible and making it a day to never forget. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a farm style wedding. Great convenience in having ceremony, reception, lodging for up 20 and catering all through the same place.

We had a wonderful wedding weekend at Seven Ponds Farm in June, 2022 after postponing our wedding for a year due to the pandemic. The owners and event management team were very helpful and communicative throughout the planning process over the last two years. Everything was exceptional onsite throughout the whole weekend - we loved staying onsite at the farmhouse, our guests raved about the food, and the natural beauty of the farm and surrounding area was stunning. All of the staff were very helpful and truly nothing went wrong. We would love to do it all over again!

The venue has a beautiful view of the lake and the surrounding mountains. All of the guests complimented us on how wonderful the wedding was.

Given that they have a sister restaurant in NYC, having an in-person meeting and a tasting was very easy and convenient

And a special shout out to Lisa who made the day of planning and coordinating stress-free! Thank you!

if you're considering hosting your wedding at Seven Ponds, do so! Morten & Min were communicative and I admit I was a nervous bride who sent WAY too many emails! but they never made me feel like I was a hassle -- quite the opposite! I loved that Seven Ponds is a wedding venue that has thought of every scenario (read: a GREAT backup plan for rain!) and comes with an incredible staff and a list of absolutely stellar vendors; everyone we worked with from the DJ to the Photographer to HMU absolutely made the day easy on us and over delivered. I mean this when I say, we are still getting compliments on our wedding and it would not have been possible without Morten, Min, and the incredible venue.

Like many couples who tied the knot during covid, we experienced chaos and many unknowns during this very uncertain time. Thankfully, we were able to have some stability and support working with Seven Ponds during this otherwise tumultuous year. Having to postpone our wedding to the following year was painful and disappointing but Seven Ponds staff guided us through each step of the way with understanding and patience. When we finally got to have our special day, it was nothing short of incredible and magical. The Seven Ponds farm is breathtaking and our guests couldn’t stop talking about what a wonderful time they had. From the fresh farm-to-table food to the beautiful decor, it was truly a night to remember. We are so thankful to Morten and Min and the Seven Ponds team, and highly recommend to all couples looking for a venue.

I cannot say enough about our wedding and experience with Seven Ponds Farm. Among many things, Erik and I are foodies and environmentalists, and Seven Ponds Farm represents those two aspects flawlessly. The forethought that owners Min and Morten put into every detail of Seven Ponds, is what makes this place truly unique. From the gorgeous vistas, to the handcrafted details of the farmhouse, every aspect has been carefully planned to make for a dream come true venue.

Once you fall in love with the venue, and can’t imagine having your wedding anywhere else, it only gets better. I tend to be slightly OCD, and detail orientated, and I think have met my match in Carol! I did not stress nor worry at any point through the planning process! Carol knows what she is doing and took care of everything! She walked me through every detail until I was happy, and even brought up things I wouldn’t have thought of. I cannot express how much I enjoyed working with her! She is a gem, with a great sense of humor, and an ease about her.

I don’t think that I could pick out my one favorite part of our wedding, but if I had to, the food definitely would be towards the top of that list! So many weddings I have been to, is the same dried out chicken, and over sauced meat. Fortunately, you will not find anything like that at Seven Ponds! Just the opposite, you and your guest will think you are eating at an elegant 5-star restaurant. The food is delectable, unique, and full of flavor. Our guest kept saying “This is real food.” And I could not agree more, it’s a real farm to table experience for your taste buds. And the marzipan cake (drool), is the perfect ending to your meal. It is just the right amount of sweetness, while still being light and airy.

If the incredible team, and food weren’t enough the venue itself is picturesque. Set among gorgeous views of the mountains, valleys and ponds, everywhere you look is a treat for your eyes. The renovated barn is just as spectacular, with the kayak chandelier and the handmade wooden tables and chairs.

One last added perk, Mina! She is a love! She along with Carol made sure everything was taken care, and all the details were in place. This even include freshly made berry muffins delivery in the morning while we were staying at the farmhouse.

I cannot overstate the rustic sophistication of this venue, and Min and Morten and their team. Every need from beginning to end was met. If you are looking for a wedding venue, contact Min and Morten at Seven Ponds.

We got married at Seven Ponds Farm in August 2021. Planning a wedding during COVID was extremely difficult and with Delta on the rise over the summer, was changing every day. Our primary goal for the wedding was for it to be safe and comfortable for our loved ones and Seven Ponds Farm helped us realize this goal.

OUTDOORS: All of the events with the exception of a seated dinner were outdoors. Fortunately, the impending tropical storm held off and we had beautiful weather. We were informed and prepared for accommodations due to rain, but did not have to utilize them. The indoor space has high ceilings and open doors/windows to encourage air flow. The dance floor is set up so that people can dance indoors and outdoors and feel part of the party - this was essential for my family who LOVES dancing, but felt more comfortable outside.

VACCINE/MASKS: All staff members at Seven Ponds Farm are vaccinated and eagerly obliged my request for them to wear masks during the event. Additionally, they helped me set up a rapid test table for guests to test before joining the party.

LODGING: The wedding party stayed in the farmhouse on-site which was great! It has a big kitchen stocked with everything that you would need to prepare a big brunch day-of (except food). Despite anything you hear, there are SO MANY HANGERS. I panicked days before the wedding because I did not get confirmation that there were hangers for guests to use. Fear not, there are plenty! Some family stayed at the airbnb down the driveway, which was great. Most of the other guests stayed at the Super8 in Cobleskill, which worked out fine!

FOOD: Delicious. Truly. Good food was a huge part of our wedding must-haves and Seven Ponds did NOT disappoint.

STAFF: All of the event staff were marvelous. They were so present and helpful, anticipating our needs and providing a calming energy. Amazing people.

COMMUNICATION: Communication was easy via email in the months leading up to the event, but very difficult in the week before the wedding. Despite us asking about payment for extras/add ons in the weeks leading up to the wedding with no response, we received an email three days before the wedding regarding a payment that needed to be wired immediately (different from previous Zelle payments), and that we couldn’t have the pre-wedding meeting until they received the payment. This was insanely stressful and unnecessary given that we had been asking about additional payments for a couple weeks. I was unable to speak with anyone on the phone and never received a response to my disgruntled/panicked email. We were able to wire the money and have the meeting, but the process of getting there was awful.

ACCESSIBILITY: The venue is set up with accessibility in mind and can drive guests with limited mobility to all areas of the wedding.

Overall a great wedding venue! I think you're definitely gambling a little on weather, a lousy day will mean missing out on some of the best parts of the farm, but if you're willing to take that chance you won't be disappointed.

Pros:
- Beautiful Scenery
- Attentive Staff
- Includes a Few Rooms for Bride + Groom and Guests
- Solid Food Menu

Cons:
- Lousy Weather would really kill the biggest plus
- A bit of a journey to get to, took about an hour by shuttle bus from where our hotel blocks were located, nothing much nearby from what I can tell
- Layout of main room unfortunately pushes some people a little far away from the dance floor, can feel a little isolating

* - Note all this is my perspective as a guest only

Had our wedding here in 2019! Truly amazing service, value and support throughout entire experience. Here I am writing a review 3 years later. LOVE this place.
