Just a short drive from New York City, and set on 80 acres in the Pocantico Hills, amongst rolling hills and farmland sits a slice of wedding glam called the Blue Hill at Stone Barns.

Candelabra-style lighting hangs from exposed iron beams that warm the room, creating a wall of shadow and texture against the beauty of the stonework inside the HayLoft. Guests gather together farm-style at farm-style tables that stretch out over the aged, hardwood floor.
