New York City is credited as one of the most romantic engagement and wedding destinations in the US and the world, so people often forget about the incredible gem that is Upstate New York. Just miles outside the NYC, you can find yourself in an enchanting landscape of small towns as quaint as coastal England. Yet beyond even those quiet sprinklings are vast fields, epic forests and stunning mountain ranges. Upstate New York is lively, colorful and generous with its natural beauty. So if you’re keen on getting married in one of the most beautiful places on Earth, we know a few slices of paradise.

Whether it’s an errant night out with your best gals or a gorgeous wedding in a sun-dappled vineyard, breaking bread around a table with strangers or friends brings out the best in us all. When planning a wedding, partnering with a perfect venue that thinks about long feasting tables and homemade, better yet, homegrown ingredients, will ensure your “marry-making” is all the more inspiring and memorable. Think beautifully prepared plates alight with the loveliest tastes, tantalizing scents permeating the air, all grown just feet from where you’re sitting to create sensory memories that linger long after the reason for being there. As such, here's a list of wedding venues that prioritize the farm-to-table feast in some of the most stunning settings in the world. Reporter: Katie Bush | Location: Zingerman’s Cornman Farms

The most beautiful of concepts often starts small, humbly, honestly... but with great passion and vision. In the case of Blooming Hill Farm, it's inception came in the early eighties with a mid-stream life change for it's owner, Guy Jones, trading in a buttoned-up storefront law office in Albany New York for a small farm, work gloves, farming & foraging in the lower Hudson Valley. As they say, "organic farming - it's nothin' new, we built a nation on it." What came of this leap of faith, built on selling farmed & beautifully foraged produce at farmer's markets in New York City, forging relationships with well-known chefs and ultimately turning a passion into a new way for New Yorkers and subsquently, America to eat and gather.  We are privileged to have had the opportunity to talk with Austin Jones, son of Guy Jones who now runs business development and events, about the heart and history that brought Blooming Hill Farm to beautiful life.  

It’s 2016 and long gone are the days of trading boxes of Sweethearts for Whitman’s Mini Samplers.  The real celebration this year lies in the heart of enjoying time with your #squad.  Whether you’re single or just plain uninterested in the cliché date night with champagne and strawberries, we’ve got a guide to NYC Valentine’s Day that’ll have you thinking outside the heart-shaped box. If breaking hearts and taking names is your girl gang’s claim to fame, be sure to do it right by throwing a mega roller derby bash at an old Brooklyn warehouse or throwing a vixen valentines soiree at a Chelsea loft.  And if you’re about that outdoorsy campfire life, we’ve got a load of getaway options too.  From Bushwick to SOHO to Upstate NY, we’re hopping all over the New York map in this Girl Gang’s Guide to Valentine’s Day.
