About this venue

Our historic, nineteenth-century, recently renovated barn is surrounded by natural beauty with picturesque rolling green pastures grazed by Angus cows and Border Leceister sheep, as well as hay fields, and crop and cut flower fields. Our stately barn sits at the top of a hill overlooking the Vloman Kill. Our family has farmed this land in Albany County, NY for over two hundred years and we would like to share this beautiful property with you for your special day.

    The Lucy Brate Barn at the Mead Family Farm is a fantastic wedding and event venue! Their attention to detail is unmatched. From the hand crafted tables to the beautifully crafted rustic barn doors, the entire barn is the definition of historic charm. The surrounding fields provide a gorgeous backdrop for photos especially as the sun sets and the strings of lights light up the cocktail and outdoor lounge areas. The barn is spacious to accommodate your guests comfortably. Best of all, the venue is right in the Albany area making it easily accessible. You will not regret having your event at the Mead Family Farm!

    The Lucy Brate Barn at Mead Family Farm is a wonderful wedding and event venue that is quiet on its own but close to all of the modern conveniences of Albany and neighboring towns. Located on a working farm that has been in the Mead Family for generations, celebrations at the barn feel homey and authentic. With outdoor space for ceremonies and cocktails, the inside of the barn is spacious with an open floor plan giving many options for layout and setup. We love working with the Lucy Brate Barn!

    I attended a very memorable wedding at Lucy Brate Farm. The venue , a newly restored barn, was absolutely beautiful with a soaring ceiling, and plenty of natural light. The exposed beams and large barn doors made for an appealingly rustic yet chic setting. The views from around the venue were breathtaking. Gazing at the lush green grass and rolling hills, seeing sheep and cows grazing freely in the distance, it prompted much conversation as we took in this gorgeous view during the cocktail hour! The location of the venue makes you feel as if you’ve traveled far into the country but you are just a short distance from Albany.
