About this venue

A historic property with timeless beauty, Sylvan Ridge Farm is nestled into a wooded mountainside overlooking the Delaware River Valley. Our mid-19th century farmhouse, cottage, and event barn have been revitalized with design insights from renowned architect Peter Bohlin and the meticulous skill of Pennsylvania Amish craftsmen to create a truly unique gathering place. Guests enjoy total solitude on the secluded 193 acres, yet the farm is only 10 minutes away from Interstate 84, historic Milford, PA, and Port Jervis, NY, with easy access from New York City via train, bus, or car. We specialize in long-format weddings, where one couple has exclusive venue access for a full weekend and can have their rehearsal dinner, brunch, or other side events at no additional charge. Overnight lodging for up to 16 guests and professional month-of coordination are included in every package!

  • Sylvan Ridge Farm is a GEM

    Cheyenne S.Nov 13, 2024

    My husband and I knew Sylvan Ridge Farm was the one from the second we stepped foot on the property. The venue is nothing short of breathtaking. The views are incredible and the barn, farmhouse, and cottage are each beautiful in their own unique ways. Pictures truly don’t do it justice. Most importantly, I can’t stress enough how easy it was to work with Linnea and her husband. My husband and I had heard horror stories of couples booking a venue and the owner/manager being extremely difficult to work with, but we had the complete opposite experience and for that I am SO thankful. If there was anything Linnea could do to help us, she was there and any special requests we had she made happen. Sylvan Ridge Farm is a GEM and I’ll forever cherish our wedding memories we made there!

    Thank you Cheyenne & Steve for your kind words! It means the world to us that you had such a positive experience working with us. The feeling's mutual! Wishing you both every happiness!

    We fell in love with this venue the moment we drove up the road. My husband and I grew up in NJ, live in Brooklyn, and were looking for a venue that felt like a nature retreat while still being accessible for our friends and family. Milford is a great town just down the road and the hotels are so close too. Linnea and Alec were so communicative and helpful with the endless lists of questions we sent them. We cannot thank them enough for setting the stage for the weekend - and I'm just so impressed with how seamless and easy it felt to use their venue. We were struck just by the beauty of the whole property. It's absolutely marvelous! We were surrounded by charming little bunnies and butterflies the whole weekend. We took advantage of the place for the whole weekend - a Friday night pizza truck party, multiple pool and hot tub hangouts, and a Sunday bagel brunch in the barn. Everybody was raving about the barn, farmhouse, and cottage. The sunset during the reception created a great atmosphere for our guests to congregate and enjoy the lawn. We felt right at home and it made our wedding so incredibly special.

    Thank you so much for sharing these reflections on your wedding weekend Rebecca & Erick! It was an absolute joy to host you and your loved ones. Wishing you both every happiness together :)

    My wife and I got married at Sylvan Ride Farm last weekend and although words can't really do it justice, what an absolutely incredible wedding venue!!!! It was one thing seeing it without decor (still stunning) but seeing it on our wedding day fully decorated with our stamp on it, i really couldn't believe just how amazing everything truly was! The venue is breathtaking, from the main reception barn to the lawn and lower level cocktail barn and the houses on the property. Such a special blend of rustic and modern, with unique touches all over the grounds including an amazing firepit area and pool. There is so much character at every turn, this place is a dream and a true gem! We knew within about 30 seconds of our visit to the property back in the fall that this was the right place for us, and we were proven to be 10000% right once our wedding arrived! In addition to the property, Linnea was such a pleasure to work with and was so accommodating, responsive, and professional to us. She really went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of. She is super caring and respectful, and working with her the whole way through made our experience that much sweeter! Our wedding weekend was incredible and it wouldn't have been possible without Linnea and Sylvan Ridge Farm!!!!

    *April 22, 2023 wedding* We knew when we stepped onto the property of Sylvan Ridge Farm that it was something special and exactly what we were looking for. We didn’t want just one day, we wanted multiple days and all of our friends and family to be able to hang out before and after the wedding. SRF is a 4 day rental, and it’s so worth it if you want to make your wedding last a whole weekend. The grounds are immaculate, the farmhouse/cottage/barn are beautiful, and the staff is so helpful with layouts. It’s a BYO/DIY venue but the bones they give you to work with are truly stunning… It’s hard to articulate how amazing this place is until you see it for yourself! If you're not looking for a traditional ballroom, but still want something elegant and classy, this is your venue. If you’re into the idea of having 4 days to truly enjoy your wedding with your guests, this is your spot. If you want to have full control and customization on how your wedding goes down, THIS is your spot. If you don’t mind your friends and family raving about what an amazing place you picked for your wedding, THIS IS YOUR SPOT. Our families were actually so sad leaving this venue because it felt like a second home after our wedding weekend. Another bonus is the farmhouse can be rented as an airbnb on the off season so we can rent it for an anniversary party one day. Other pros: LGBTQ friendly, dog friendly, month-of-event coordination included (SARA IS INCREDIBLE!!!), 15 guests can sleep on property, full customization of layout and how you want your day to go, preferred vendor list (half of our vendors came from their list and they were exceptional). They do weekday, as well as weekend, weddings and the town of Milford is such a charming place. Finally, the owner Linnea was extremely responsive, upbeat, and detail-oriented throughout the whole process which made planning a dream. Sara Mack is the BEST wedding coordinator on the planet and made our whole weekend run so smoothly, plus she always had a cheerful smile and made us feel so welcomed and special!
