1. A Catskills Wedding with Character

The Catskills have long been a destination for couples looking to trade city noise for nature’s soundtrack. At The Barn on Hubbard, you get that natural beauty paired with authentic architectural charm.

Built by the Gabel family in the mid-1800s, the barn still holds traces of its original purpose. From its soaring timber frame to the silo that now serves as a one-of-a-kind bar. Here, rustic isn’t a theme; it’s woven into the very structure. And yet, the restoration ensures every corner is ready to host your celebration in comfort and style.

2. The Perfect Setting for Every Season

No matter when you plan to say “I do,” The Barn on Hubbard adapts beautifully:

• Spring brings blooming orchards and a fresh green backdrop for your ceremony.
• Summer offers long golden evenings perfect for dining in our European garden-inspired alcove tucked into the cornfield.
• Fall surrounds you with fiery foliage and crisp air, ideal for a cozy barn wedding reception.

Each season brings its own personality, and the venue lets that personality shine without competing for attention.

3. Space That Fits Your Celebration

With 4,000 square feet indoors and 28 acres outdoors, The Barn on Hubbard gives you room to design the day you’ve envisioned. The barn itself is ideal for dinner and dancing, while patios, an annex space, and open lawns create natural spots for cocktails, photos, or quiet moments together.

Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, the layout adjusts to make it feel just right.

4. A True Weekend Wedding Experience

Some venues expect you to set up, celebrate, and pack out in the span of a single day. Not here. With a three-day rental, you have the freedom to truly enjoy your wedding weekend:

• Host your rehearsal dinner without leaving the property.
• Wake up on wedding morning with time to breathe.
• Keep the celebration going with a relaxed Sunday brunch.

We believe weddings should feel effortless, and the extra time makes all the difference.

Planning your wedding at The Barn on Hubbard means more than a beautiful venue, it’s a full Catskills experience. Explore our guide to the best things to do in Callicoon, NY so your guests can enjoy every moment of the weekend. 

5. Thoughtful Details & Amenities Included

What’s included goes far beyond “four walls and a roof.” You’ll have access to:

• A catering prep kitchen with everything you need to keep service smooth.
• An indoor silo bar (the kind of detail guests talk about for years).
• Vintage props to add charm without overdecorating.
• Lantern-lit pathways and multiple patios for those perfect in-between moments.
• Private parking, handicap-accessible restrooms, and an indoor annex space for flexible planning.

These aren’t just features; they’re the small touches that make the day flow.

6. Optional Services to Make It Effortless

We know every couple has a different vision (and a different to-do list!). That’s why we offer optional add-ons:

• Full wedding planning and day-of coordination.
• Horse or tractor-drawn wagons for a playful, memorable arrival.
• Games and activities to keep guests entertained between moments.
• Wooden Farmhouse tables and benches.
• Rehearsal dinner and Sunday brunch.

Use them all or just a few. Either way, they’re here to make your celebration easier and more personal.

7. Rooted in Catskills History

The Barn on Hubbard isn’t just a pretty backdrop. It’s part of the story of Callicoon itself. Built when Hubbard Road was part of the Old Beechwood Turnpike, the property was once home to farming, shoemaking, and community gathering. Those same qualities (hard work, craft, and connection) still echo in every event we host today.

When you get married here, you’re not just choosing a venue. You’re becoming part of a place that’s been bringing people together for over a century.

8. What Our Couples Love Most

Couples are often drawn to how The Barn on Hubbard strikes the perfect balance between grandeur and intimacy. The spacious grounds and soaring barn ceilings make the day feel significant, while tucked-away patios, the garden alcove, and quiet hillside views offer private moments just for them.

They appreciate the relaxed pace that comes with a full weekend rental. No rushing to set up, no early cutoffs, and plenty of time to savor each part of the celebration. Guests, too, enjoy exploring the different spaces, from the lantern-lit pathways to the silo bar, making the experience feel like more than just a single event. It’s a setting designed to leave a lasting impression, not only in photos but in the way it feels to be there.
