BOLI Love!
I’ve always wanted a rustic wedding and the barn was perfect for that. The staff was amazing, the food was great and the floor layout was HUGE! We had 240 guests and there was more than enough room for everyone.
| Our experience from start to finish was absolutely incredible. Emily, Carl & Natalie went so above and beyond to make sure we had a PERFECT wedding day - which we did! Working with Emily through the whole process was enjoyable and simple. On the day-off, Carl & Natalie were always there. Making sure us and our families were calm, that we had food & drinks, that we were comfortable and happy. They could not have done more. Every detail was perfect and incredible and we were stress free thanks to the staff here. |
This venue was ansolutly stunning and made my dream wedding come true. Rosa from dream works who is the planner and coordinator is amazing. She made sure everything was perfect leading up to the final day. I was a little nervous about the idea of the food having to be brought in but, Laurie who is in charge of the catering from the Dover group assured me everything would be fine and it was. The food was amazing and they cook the meat on site. We were able to walk about the village and get some amazing pictures. My guest still talk about how beautiful the wedding was and how much fun they had till this day.
Emily Virgil, the sales manager, is exceptional! From start to finish, Emily was a pleasure to work with and so accommodating in creating and executing our wedding. The maitre d' Barbara was amazing! Our bridal attendant Emily went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed!! The food was outstanding and we received so many compliments from our guests. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a unique and beautiful space.

We had a fairytale wedding at the Barn. I knew I wanted to have my wedding there even before I met my husband. Not only was the venue absolutely dreamy, but the staff was incredible. I knew we were in good hands as soon as I met Emily Virgil. She is so sweet, responsive and easy to work with. She really helped make my dream a reality! The Maitre D' and Bridal Attendant made sure we were well taken care of before and during the reception. The icing on the cake was when the entire staff helped load up our decorations in my brother's car at the end of the night. My family and I didn't need to lift a finger. If you're looking for a unique venue serving rustic elegance, look no further than the Barn at Old Bethpage!

We really enjoyed our kids wedding at the barn. Its a beautiful venue loaded with ambiance. Emily, Carl, and Estee were amazing and had everything run smoothly throughout the party. The food catered by Lessings was outstanding in both preperation and presentation. We couldn't ask for anything more, we really got to enjoy our special occasion with family and friends.

Barn at Old Beth Page: 12/10 This place is beyond beautiful and the people from Lessings couldn't have been nicer. Steve and Emily were so easy to work with and they were very accommodating throughout the whole process. Emily answered all our constant phone calls, was so patient with us, and truly went above and beyond to make it the best day possible. The food was absolutely delicious and everyone loved it. HIGHLY Recommend!
I had my wedding at the Barn at Old Bethpage and I would highly recommend them as a venue on every level. Request to work with Emily, sales manager. I literally cannot say enough good things about her. She was wonderful in every way.
The love and appreciation I have for Lessings & the people who I worked with directly the day of my wedding is profound!! My husband and I were blown away by the help & ease we received throughout the entire process. We worked directly with Emily & Steve when planning, and had a great deal of help from Alex and Carmelo day of (Maître d’ & bridal attendant). Alex and Carmelo were awesome the day of the wedding. They worked hard to make sure I had a drink in my hand and my husband and I were at our happiest. All in all, if anyone, anyone at all is looking for a rustic barn venue, I would recommend it!
