We were the first couple to get married at The Yost Barn, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we set foot in this stunning venue in Rochester, NY, we were completely enchanted. The original wooden beams, elegantly strung with café lights, created a breathtakingly romantic ambiance. The two massive crystal chandeliers added just the right touch of glamour, while the pristine hardwood floors gleamed beneath our feet. Cocktail hour in the carriage house was an absolute highlight. The farmers' table display was not only beautifully arranged but also a feast for the senses. The charcuterie board was the largest and most impressive we’ve ever seen, and the food was simply delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly presented. The Yost Barn itself was a dream come true, meticulously designed with exquisite flower arrangements, stunning tablescapes, and a range of seating options including large king tables and elegant rounds. The bar was massive, ensuring that everyone enjoyed their drinks to the fullest. A special shoutout to Cara, the planner and designer, who truly brought our vision to life. From the impeccable table settings and escort wall to the thoughtful guest gifts and the rich, western-inspired colors and textures, Cara’s attention to detail was extraordinary. She captured our love for western vibes perfectly, weaving them into every aspect of the design. In short, The Yost Barn is an unparalleled venue with an unmatched combination of beauty, exceptional food, and superb service by Farmhouse Table Food. If you’re looking for a wedding location that combines rustic charm with a touch of elegance, this is the place to be. We couldn’t have imagined a more perfect setting for our special day.

After getting married here in October, I cannot recommend the Hartlot Happening enough!! The space is a beautiful blend of indoor and outdoor which was SO popular with our guests. We got so many compliments on the venue because of how easy it was for guests to mingle and chat. Everyone said it was unlike any venue they had been to before—in the best possible way! The owner, Katie, was a delight to work with and was so mindful of preserving the vision we had for the wedding even when we had to make last minute adjustments on the fly. If you are looking for something different than the typical wedding hall experience, then Hartlot Happening is the place for you!
