The Roxbury Barn & Estate Est. 2008

Roxbury, New York, United States

‹ Prev Next ›

I’d choose a night at the Roxbury any day…Roxbury Barn that is!
Built by a boat captain, home to an admiral, and shot as the main-house in an Oscar-nominated documentary, this fascinating and historical establishment is unlike anything you have ever seen. Turn heads as you make your way through the big barn doors into the main space for a beautiful wedding ceremony then take the party outside where you can dance and celebrate amongst lily ponds, pine groves, mountains, and fire-pits.

Venue Setting

Established in 1851 by Mississippi riverboat captain William Patterson, The Roxbury Barn’s 42-acre property includes a beautiful three-story carriage barn, open fields, a large roofed pavilion with mountain vista, and a natural forest.

Our 164-year old bank barn is built against a cliff, with the lower floor only exposed on the backside. The event spaces in the barn are on the middle and top floor. The middle floor opens up to a tree-lined lawn with a lily pond, through two large barn doors. The bar and the restrooms are also located on the middle floor. The two upper floors of our Catskill Barn together seat up to 140 persons for dinner. 

The top floor is usually the primary dining area (though during warmer evenings couples may also choose to have dinner on the lawn in front of the barn). The balustrades on the top floor open up to the floor below. The middle level, with its big barn doors opens up to a blissful tree covered open space and is the perfect place to continue your celebration with dancing and a band.

Though most barns tend to be rather dark because of a lack of windows, each of the three floors of our barn has seven windows facing the southern gardens.

An Enchanted Country Wedding:
Established in 1851 by a Mississippi riverboat captain, The Roxbury Barn & Estate’s 42-acre property includes a beautiful three-story carriage barn, lush perennial gardens and a series of ponds, a large roofed pavilion with spectacular mountain vista, and the dramatic pine grove, nicknamed our Natural Cathedral, which is the perfect location for a breathtaking wedding ceremony.

Just a two and a half hours drive from New York City, just over an hour from Albany, and four hours from Boston, Rochester, and Philadelphia, The Roxbury Barn & Estate is open for events from mid May till mid October, hosting celebrations up to 140 persons in size.

We only host one full day event each weekend, allowing you to choose an eight-hour window of time for your wedding, with an earliest starting time at 3pm and latest end time at 12am, and time for a ceremony rehearsal on the previous afternoon.

Alternatively, we offer the option of an all-inclusive Afternoon Celebration, or an intimate Elopement: these are easy to manage, four-hour afternoon celebrations (extendable to five hours), which are available on Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays, with a party size of 10 to 20 people for an elopement, and a party size of 21 to 80 people for an Afternoon Celebration

The Scene:

Imagine your guests entering through our forest at a rolling field, surrounded by mountains and trees. A ceremony in the shades of our majestic pine grove. Cocktails by the pavilion, with breathtaking vistas all around. Dining on a country feast supplied by the numerous local organic farms. Dancing in our large rustic carriage barn, overlooking a beautifully lit, tree lined lawn and lily pond. Ending your day with a towering bonfire under the stars…

One of our guests called our place ‘an enchanted forest’. And we are convinced you and your family and friends will be in awe of the unique and beautiful setting of our barn, and the surrounding ponds, the lush gardens, the open fields, and the endless forest.
