Nothing you don't.
Once you book, you're invited to a private tasting at the Farmhouse — a one-on-one culinary collaboration with our chef to build your menu from the ground up.
Exclusive Estate Access
The entire 125-acre property is yours — every barn, beach, bonfire pit, and hammock. No other events, no other guests.
In-House Farm-to-Table Catering
One dedicated team from first inquiry to final toast. We know your names, protect your vision, and anticipate every need.

Your inner circle wakes up on property. 21 guesthouses, farmhouse residence, and luxury cabins — all on the estate.
Nightly Bonfires, No Curfew
The celebration ends when you decide it ends. Bonfires, late-night snacks, and full property access until you call it.
Estate Activities & Enhancements

The full experience
The art of the
takeover.
This isn't a venue rental. It's a multi-day estate residency — where the schedule disappears and the experience takes over. Here's what three days at Gilbertsville actually feels like.
A slow morning on the estate. A farewell brunch. One last walk down to the beach. No rush, because the best part of giving your people a full weekend is that it ends on your terms — with everyone full, rested, and already asking about the next one.
Linger a Little Longer
Sunday
As the city fades in the rear-view, a deliberate transition takes hold. By the time your inner circle arrives on Friday morning, the 3.5-hour drive pays its first dividend: the total surrender to a private, weekend-long residency.
Our distance ensures your guests aren't just attending, they are inhabiting your world.
Here, Friday night isn't just a rehearsal; it’s the moment the outside world officially stops reaching you.
Arrive & Settle In
Friday
Saturday the estate adapts to your pulse. The day breathes with anticipation until the estate transforms into the most anticipated event of your social season. Lead your guests from the raw beauty of the landscape into the glamour of your stylized reception personalized to exude your energy.
Celebrating over a multi-course dinner and gushing toasts, your guests will feel the emotion you couldn't put into words.
Dance into the next day and eventually under the stars. The after hours that don't end. Your guests will never forget this night.

Friday through Sunday
Three days that change how
people
Most weddings are a day. Yours will be a weekend. Guests check in Friday, wake up Saturday still in the story, and nobody wants to leave Sunday. That's not an accident — it's the design.
Below is a sample flow. Your actual schedule is built with you during planning — this shows you what's possible.

Every night ends by the fire. S'mores, late-night snacks, and zero pressure to call it early.

Common Questions
Things couples
always ask us.
Weekend wedding packages at Gilbertsville Farmhouse start at $125,000 and go up to $150,000 depending on guest count, season, and accommodations. This covers exclusive venue access, full planning support, on-site catering for all meals. Lodging for up to 82 is paid by your guests like a hotel block. To get a custom quote for your date, text us or fill out an inquiry form.
The Chandelier Barn accommodates up to 250 seated guests for your reception. Our on-site lodging sleeps 82 guests across all accommodations — meaning your closest people wake up on property Sunday morning. Day guests who aren't staying over are welcome to join the celebration and head home after the reception.
Yes — Harvest 336, our in-house culinary team, handles all catering for your weekend. This is actually one of the biggest advantages of booking with us: one team, one kitchen, one point of contact from Friday breakfast to Sunday brunch. Everything is made from scratch with local, chemical-free ingredients. We're happy to accommodate dietary restrictions and work with you on custom menus.
Truly, no curfew. The estate is exclusively yours for the full weekend — you set the timeline. The Chandelier Barn typically wraps at 11pm, and then the After Hours Lounge takes over for the crew till 1am. Bonfires go as long as you want. We've seen Sunday morning sunrises from the beach. It's your property, your call.
We host only 27–28 weddings per year, which means dates book out fast — typically 12–18 months in advance for peak season (May through October). If you have a specific date in mind, the best thing you can do is text us or reach out through our inquiry form to check availability before it's gone.
We work with couples to build their own vendor teams for photography, florals, entertainment, and more. We have a list of preferred vendors who know the property well if you need recommendations, but you're never locked into anyone. Catering and bar service are the only in-house exclusives.
