Valley View Farm

We were fortunate to have shared in a late afternoon wedding and dinner for 125 guests at Valley View Farm in November.
Libations were first served at a wonderful architectural stone welcoming building with wide open doors, overhanging roof, patio and high-top tables. A short time later, we walked up, or could have hopped on golf carts, to the large barn. We were greeted with music by a string quartet. The floral arrangements were gorgeous. The wedding was a nice, simple ceremony. A short walk across the terrace was another barn filled with farmhouse tables, lovely table arrangements and romantic candlelight. It was warm and so inviting. The first course was a squash soup w/ drizzled crème fraiche. I opted for the beef short ribs, atop Brussels sprouts and fingerling potatoes. There were no seasonings on the table. Chocolate mousse completed the feast. The party continued with a DJ and lots of dancing. Outside, the fire pit was smoking as guests lingered under strands of lighting. It was a wonderful afternoon and evening for all.

Valley View Farm is perfection!! From my initial conversation with Dan two years ago up until Oct 14th this year - Dan and his dream team have been a true pleasure to work with! True professionals that give attention to every detail! My daughter Emily and Sinead kept saying over and over again - Best day of their lives! What more can a parent want? Our guests were raving about the beautiful venue and delicious food. It was a magical picture perfect October Wedding Day and everything ran smoothly - my husband and I got to enjoy every minute. Valley View Farm took care of everything that day! I encourage all of you to consider Valley View Farm for that special day you may have coming up in your family - you will not regret it - Valley View Farm created memories for all of us that will last a lifetime!

Our daughter had her wedding there in July. The weather was a little challenging but Dan and his staff handled everything with aplomb. The entire team was exemplary but special kudos to Dan who was so great to work with both during planning and on the wedding day. We miss him.
So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever attended. The venue, the food, the drinks and of course the horses were top notch. The ceremony was magical as was the entire day. We can not recommend Valley View and Dan and the staff enough.

We got married in May 2023 and we had an amazing experience with Valley View. From the start of the planning process through to the wedding day, Valley View’s planning staff, Wheelhouse catering, and everyone in between were there to keep us on track and well-organized. We were re-assigned to our planner Shannon about 3 months before our wedding date after our previous planner moved on from her position. We were a bit nervous about how switching to a new planner that close to our wedding would be, but we couldn’t have been more lucky to be paired with Shannon. She was constantly available for any questions we had or ideas we wanted to run by her, and we could tell she genuinely cared about every little detail of our day. It completely down-poured all afternoon and evening on our wedding day, which could have caused some major additional stress on us. However, Shannon and her coordinators Maggie & Christina, along with Alex from Wheelhouse and the bar manager Thaddeus made it so that we had an amazing day and didn’t notice any last minute adjustments they may have made. They remained incredibly positive and kept our spirits high which gave us confidence that the day would go smoothly. We got tons of positive feedback from our guests specifically about how great Shannon was and how friendly and talented the bar & catering staff were. We also had multiple guests tell us the food from Wheelhouse was the best they’d ever had at a wedding. We couldn’t recommend Valley View Farm more to anyone considering it for their wedding.

Valley View was the PERFECT venue for our August 2022 wedding. Valley View was the first venue that we toured and we booked it on the drive home. The location, outdoor pavilion, "getting ready areas" and reception space are absolutely beautiful. Dan, our wedding coordinator, made the big day seamless. From the moment we toured, Dan was extremely organized and calm while bringing laughter and fun to the planning process. The entire planning process was extremely personal, from the schedule of the big day to the personalized meal and drinks provided. Suzy and David, the owners, made us feel as though we were part of the family from the first time we met them. Every guest had nothing but positive things to say, raving about the venue, atmosphere, staff, food and drinks. The day was absolutely perfect and everything we could've dreamed of and so much more. If you are considering booking Valley View for your wedding, book it as soon as possible and get ready for an incredible experience!

Wow, we cannot say enough good things about our experience with Valley View Farm, Dan LaFlamme, Suzy and David, and every single team member we interacted with throughout our wedding planning process. We are completely blown away at how welcoming, warm, thorough, detail-oriented this team is.

From the first moment we visited Valley View for the winter farm dinner, we felt at home and well taken care of. Suzy and David really took the time to get to know us and share about how special the Farm is to each of them. It was clear from the start how much of a family and community Valley View is.

Our wedding planner, Dan, and the Valley View Farm team made our wedding planning process fun and completely authentic to us. They were always available, kind, and easy to work with. We had multiple separate calls and in-person meetings with Dan, the catering team, and bar team, that made every detail unique to us.

We also appreciated their transparency and guidance through every step of the process. Our guests loved the food, family-style dinner service, drinks, and overall experience and ambience of the Farm.

The day of our wedding, Dan and his team went above and beyond to make sure that our every need was taken care of, even needs we didn’t even know we had! We especially appreciate how Dan and his team cared for and attended to our parents, grandparents, and wedding party.

Thank you so much to the Valley View Farm team for making our wedding day even more special and memorable than we could have even imagined for ourselves. We are so happy to forever be a part of the Valley View family.

Much love, Amy and Matt (January 20, 2024)

Valley View Farm in Haydenville, MA is an absolutely stunning venue for couples and photographers. The intimate and secluded setting provides a beautiful backdrop for any event, but it is particularly well-suited for weddings. I recently was flown out from California for a traditional Indian wedding, photos below, that was such a special event!

To couples, one of the things that I love most about Valley View Farm is the people, specifically Dan. Dan and the staff made things so simple, easy, and the event was thoughtfully planned. I’ve shot over 400 weddings and I can actually say Dan and his staff are awesome. Aside from that, the abundance of natural beauty that surrounds it, is top notch. The rolling hills, lush forests, and open fields provide endless opportunities for creative and artistic photographs. Whether you're looking for sweeping landscape shots or intimate portraits, Valley View Farms has it all.

Another thing that makes Valley View Farm such a great place to shoot is the abundance of rustic details and variety of textures. From the barns and farmhouses to the quaint gardens and walkways, there are endless opportunities to capture unique and beautiful photos.
Overall, I highly recommend Valley View Farm as a venue for couples and photographers. It's intimate, creative, and filled with natural beauty, making it the perfect place to capture unforgettable images.

Valley View Farm will always hold a very special place in my heart. I had the honor of getting married here on December 4th, 2022 and it was one of the best days of my life.

From the moment I saw VVF's website, I was in love. We had our ceremony in the gorgeous pavilion that overlooked the rolling hills of Williamsburg. The reception hall was warm and welcoming, with more than enough space to host our ~130 guests. It was a December wedding, but no one felt the cold between the blankets provided and the wood burning, heated barn.

But more than the grounds, it is the staff that made our wedding magical. From the moment we met our wedding planner, Alex, I knew we were in good hands. He was extremely organized, thoughtful and honest. Our day-of coordinators and planner, Shannon, were just absolutely incredible. Shannon had to jump in to cover the day-of and she took on the challenge with ease and expertise. The bar manager, Thaddeus, was creative and fun and made the BEST signature cocktails. And the catering? INCREDIBLE! Stephanie and Zofia were absolute rockstars and really made our foodie vision come to life.

Some fast facts about why you need to choose VVF for your next event:
1. It is beautiful, serene, unique and special
2. Your catering menu is custom - no picking off of a list of tired, outdated and overused dishes
3. They make their own cider, maple syrup and other ingredients to feature on your menu
4. Local sustainability and support is at the heart of what VVF does
5. Guests will be talking about the food for a long time after
6. The staff is considerate, professional and accommodating

That is enough rambling - I just really love VVF. I look forward to coming back for more events, the cider bar and to visit the ponies very soon!

Valley View Farm is THE premiere wedding venue in Western Massachusetts. My fiancé and I were sold the second we stepped on the property. Everywhere you look is breathtaking and all of the buildings are equally as perfect.

From booking a tour of the grounds to planning the wedding start to finish, our experience was amazing. Teri, our wedding planner, gave us numerous suggestions, guides and information on local vendors and overall wedding experiences! It was a pleasure to get married there and an honor to work with everyone who helped make our day perfect. Every member of our family, wedding party and guest list had resounding reviews about the exceptional service, atmosphere and experience.

Special shout-out to Wheelhouse Catering and their bar manager, Thad, for customizing everything for us. They have an amazing staff and the food and drinks are unmatched. If we could get married again 😉, we would book Valley View Farm instantly!

Beautiful location for a wedding! Lots of separate spaces for the groom and bride to get ready, and the Cider House is a great bar to welcome guests. The staff is extremely nice and good at what they do.

If you're looking for a team that treats you as their own family then please look no further than booking your wedding at Valley View Farm. I could probably write an entire novel about how incredible our experience was from start to finish. From the gorgeous grounds and the entire esthetic of the barn, our day was nothing short of amazing. Even getting married the first weekend of November 2022, we were somehow blessed with 75 degree weather.

From start to finish we worked with Dan LaFlamme throughout the entire process from showing us the grounds, to planning our wedding and being there every step of the way on the day of. We cannot thank him enough for all he has done for us. His presence alone is comforting and made us feel so at ease even on the biggest day of our life. He's organized, understanding, and so knowledgeable. The décor was put together in a way I felt was a dream come to life. The attention to detail is unmatched. People talk about how stressful your wedding can be and we didn't feel one ounce of stress at all from how above and beyond Dan went.

We need to give a shoutout to Stephanie and Zofia with Wheelhouse Catering for being so meticulous with family members who have severe allergies and making sure that my husband and I were well fed and taken care of. Not to mention the food we had was absolutely amazing. We love that everything is locally sourced.

Also the Bar Manager Thaddeus helped with personalizing our drinks for the day, answering our million and one questions and making sure the bar was stocked with fan favorites. Even the owners Dave and Sue would pop in from time to time to ask how things were going during planning and it just shows how involved everyone is at the farm and how much they love what they do.

I feel extremely blessed when I look back at the day and so happy that it was everything I had dreamed of and more. My husband Dan and I look forward to visiting the barn for years to come. Run and don’t walk to book this venue, you will not regret it.

From the moment we saw Valley View online we fell in love. We had instantly requested a tour and didn’t know how much more we would fall in love once the tour happened. We had to have this venue for our wedding, and we did not mind having to change our originally planned date to make it work with their availability!

From the initial planning meetings to the last-minute things, Alex our planner, has been tremendous. He helped us so much with planning the little details that you may not have thought of on your own, and he is also amazingly pleasant and brings a smile to your face every time! The online planner where you can work together is amazing and helped so much as we aren’t a short drive away from the venue. We saw our vision come to life and could not have been more pleased with the hospitality all the Valley View Farm staff has provided us and our family.
As you may noticed but the property itself is so beautiful you barely need to provide much décor! We also stayed onsite at one of the properties and it was amazing to wake up and experience the farm the morning of and morning after. Everything you needed was provided and so many amenities were available to make it feel just like home.

We seriously did not want our wedding weekend to end. We will be back to visit for many years and cannot wait to join any farm dinners or muse cider bar events! If you want your wedding to be above and beyond what you could ever imagine, Valley View Farm is the choice. Thank you so much Alex, Suzy, David, Shannon, Thaddeus, Zofia, and the entire Valley View staff!

-Love, Rachel & Brandon Walsh + Luna – November 20th, 2022

We got married about four months ago and I still think of Dan and Christina's unconditional kindness and support almost everyday. The whole team at Valley View is truly amazing and Suzy and David are some of the coolest and kindest people I have ever met. Dan was our wedding planner and from the beginning was so calming and extremely buttoned up. My husband I got engaged in Dec and were married in Aug all thanks to Dan and the team! Dan was always available and made all of the planning fun and super personal to us. He truly felt like an extension of our family. Christina was with us the weeks leading up to our wedding and on our wedding day. I don't even know where to begin -her presence is so grounding and loving-I can't imagine the day without her there. She anticipated everything and was always one step ahead but also made the day fun! Again, felt like an extension of family on our wedding day.

The food was also incredible. Our friends and family all said it was the best wedding food they had ever had. We loved the deserts so much we took them home and froze them and ate them for a mont after until we sadly ran out.

The venue is a magical place. You can feel it when you begin the drive up.

We can't wait to come back and visit. It was the best day ever.

Valley View Farm is truly a perfect wedding venue. There's no doubt that it's a beautiful and romantic place to tie the knot and that your guests will absolutely love it. But what makes Valley View so special in my opinion is the staff. The owner, Suzy, is one of the kindest people I've ever met and it was such a joy to meet with her every time we went up to the farm to visit. And our wedding planner, Dann, is the absolute best. He is so warm and genuine, a calming presence when things get stressful, and, importantly, hyper organized! He made planning our wedding (and moving it due to COVID) seamless. Besides the amazing staff and venue, the caterer Wheelhouse did an extraordinary job (we had so many guests tell us it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding!) and the attention to detail was unparalleled. From having a place for me and the groomsmen to get ready before the ceremony (a rare find after looking at over a dozen venues) to asking us what drink we'd like to have as soon as the ceremony was over, no detail was spared. I could go on and on about Valley View - thank you for making 4.29.22 the best day of our lives!

Huge shoutouts to Alex, Stephanie and Thaddeus for the most amazing day— from or initial tour, tasting dinners, planning meetings and until the very end, they made our planning process stress free. We couldn’t have asked for a better team in the most beautiful venue. We are beyond thankful 🤍 all photos by Caroline Giuliano !! March 11, 2023

My husband and I got married at VVF in May 2022 after finding the venue online. From start to finish, they made our wedding planning and day absolutely amazing and stress free. Teri was our wedding planner and was phenomenal. The staff are amazing - you are given a bar manager and catering team who do everything to make your day so unique and special. VVF is so worth the investment for a truly special and beautiful day. Thank you VVF!

I photographed Kate & Gavin's wedding here in the fall and it was spectacular as always. The setting is beautiful and the staff are the best in the business. Cannot recommend enough!

My daughter's wedding was this weekend, and I just have to publicly thank everyone at Valley View Farm, especially, Shannon and Maggie for the incredible job they did. Everything was perfect! Really top notch! Shannon was excellent! And, no matter what was asked of her, she did it with a smile. She helped my daughter feel relaxed knowing everything was under control. The day after the wedding all our personal, decorative items that were brought to the reception, were cleaned, packed up and delivered to the Farmhouse where we were staying. Many of our guests commented to us on how amazing the wedding planner was. Thank you, thank you Shannon with a special shout out to Maggie, and everyone at Valley View Farm for helping my daughter and new Son-In-Law, truly experience a magical day! Mother of the Bride

My wedding day at Valley View was without a doubt one of the happiest days of my life! Words don’t even begin to do the beautiful venue, impressive bar & catering team, delicious food & drinks, and (most of all) our planner, Dan, justice. Dan’s incredible organization, professionalism, attention to detail, and all around kindness throughout the process were unforgettable. He made August 5th a breeze and a joy for so many people. I can’t recommend Valley View and the entire team enough.

You're reading this because you are deciding if you want to book Valley View for your wedding - and I am here to tell you to do it!!! The location and property are gorgeous and the staff are fantastic at what they do. We felt so supported to bring our ideas to reality - from helping with vendor decisions and communication, ideating on a theme and designs, to having all the details under control. Don't let the cost throw you off - that covers all the awesome things they have to offer - no upcharging along the way for normal stuff like chairs or napkins (PS the decor is already stunning so you don't have to do much). They care about sustainability and the local community, especially with the DELICIOUS food, as well. I really can't say enough about Shannon (our wedding planner, a service that comes with your booking) who helped us have the most fantastic day. I doubt it would have been half as amazing without her. Working with her, Stephanie the catering manager, Thad the bar manager, and the whole staff to plan for over a year was easy and fun - and on the wedding day we saw them in action to make everything perfect. The owners even let us invite their farm dog, Rosie, and bought one of the horses, Penny, out to the field for us to take pictures with. I could go on about how they have literally thought of everything but really all you need to know is - if you can, you MUST book with Valley View!
