Our day was absolutely perfect, thanks to Abby, Jay, and the beautiful Maple Shade property! Even though our weekend turned out to be rainy, Abby and Jay put us completely at ease, seamlessly adjusting plans as needed. From the moment we chose our date, they were incredibly hands-on and helpful, guiding us through finding vendors and planning all the small details. The venue’s history and character truly wowed our guests, and Abby’s talent for design and decor made everything feel so personalized and beautiful. We’re so grateful for the care and effort that went into making our day so special—thank you for giving us such a perfect experience!

Maple Shade Farm is the most idyllic upstate wedding venue. Jay and Abby, the owners, are fun, organized, and overall incredible at creating a celebratory atmosphere, while also making us and our family feel comfortable. We knew from the moment we talked to them that we found our venue. They even graciously let us get married outside of the usual season and we planned it in under 4 months. They even toured us around in a blizzard to show us airbnbs for our families to stay. As others have said, they feel like friends you have known for years. It was the easiest wedding to plan with all their help. Abby created the most beautiful bouquet and flower arrangements from all my favorite flowers. Every detail was so beautiful and well thought out. Our families all said the photos don’t do it justice. It truly is a magical barn that takes on its own life with so many different rooms to prepare, eat, celebrate, dance, and even play fun games once the party is in full swing. They even created the cutest kids area with their own special food! Jay and Abby will go above and beyond for you and every vendor they recommend to create an absolutely amazing evening — there is no need to look beyond what they suggest. Having a wedding here was a dream.

My wife and I are beyond blessed to have chosen Maple Shade Farm for our wedding venue! First of all, the location. Perfectly tucked away in the western Catskills, we fell in love as soon as we saw it. A beautiful rustic barn: upgraded, with all of the original charm. The stone walls of the orchard and beautiful pond. The sweeping meadow and picturesque hills rising up in the distance. Your photographer will be thanking you for picking such a great spot to capture your special day! What really made Maple Shade stand out to us was how much was included. The barn has: a dining hall, dance floor, outdoor patio area, game room, full bar area, numerous seating areas, cozy corners and nooks to set up dessert, décor and favors. We thought it was so cool to have all those extra spaces, so your guests can have their pick of being closer to action on dance floor or grabbing a quieter corner to catch up on conversations. We booked Maple Shade for the entire weekend, holding a Friday Rehearsal Dinner as well as a Sunday Brunch the day after. It was an amazing deal, and most shocking, the cheapest venue that we looked at. Second, the wonderful people that run Maple Shade: Abby and Jay Wilson. They were so kind, helpful and hardworking to make sure everything went perfect on our special day. Whether it was coordinating with the DJ and caterers, or guiding guests around the property, they did it all! Their professionalism and years of experience shone through, and they patiently answered all of our many, many questions to put our minds at ease. We loved how it was a family affair, with Abby and Jay and their kids all pitching in to help. They were so accommodating with whatever we needed: seating arrangements, picking of wedding arches, bus transportation, etc. For us, we knew that wedding guests might not remember the table centerpieces. They might not remember the invitations or favors. But they will not forget the experience of Maple Shade Farm. Coming from New Jersey and NYC, Maple Shade was for many their first taste of the Catskills. And it did not disappoint, with many family and friends still telling us it was the best wedding they ever went to! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!!!
