“When “classy” and “rustic” collide. I had my Bridal shower at The Preston Barn on Saturday, March 6, 2021. First of all, the atmosphere is AMAZING. The classic barn details with a updated and modern twists, string lights, live edge tables, just AMAZING. The food... even more amazing. We did a buffet style meal with chicken, steak, salmon, and side/salad/bread. Each dish was better than the last! My guests raved about the food! It was fresh and cooked to perfection! Especially the fresh baked cookies during dessert! Oh, and the staff!? INCOMPARABLE! Everyone was so professional, personable and ready to support you in any way possible! In fact, my fiancé arrived after food was put away, but they made sure he had a full plate of food ready for him, he loved that! I would recommend The Preston Barn to anyone who is looking to celebrate any special event who want are looking for rustic elegance!”

“The Preston Barn is a hidden gem 90 miles north of NYC. It’s a local “destination” location with B&B style housing in exquisitely restored historic buildings. The barn itself is stunning and modern with the look and feel of an actual barn without the dung! Gourmet food (you’ll actually love your meal!) seamless service and a wedding planner (Helene R.) that gets it all done. The area is beautiful with lots of places for guests to explore and enjoy. Don’t let the cover fool you, this book is well worth opening and Old Drovers Inn is the perfect place for your rehearsal dinner!”

“The Preston Barn is a beautiful place for a wedding reception. And the staff is amazing. Top-rate in every way. I had a great time, even though the evening was not without a mishap, as I took a bite out of something that I was allergic to as the cocktail hour was winding down. So when I sat down at my table at The Preston Barn I lost consciousness. Within seconds, Donna, Megan, and Sharron were there to help me. Within a few minutes after they came to help me I felt great and was able to enjoy the evening as planned. What could have been a disaster for me instead ended up being a great evening thanks to these three wonderful ladies. I’ll never forget them. God bless them. I highly recommend the Preston Barn.”

“Best place ever for a barn wedding in the Hudson Valley. You’re breathe is taken away the moment you step foot on the property and are greeted by courteous staff. Inside the barn its rustic appearance with eye appealing tables and sliding doors opening up your view to the outside. The cocktail hour was beautifully laid out with a bar on whiskey barrels and old doors , help yourself beers on more whiskey barrels and fabulous Specialty cocktails with an abundance of food laid on a harvest table. Once the large barn door opened for everyone to enter, you heard everyone gasp at the beauty inside. The reception was beyond amazing with so much delightful food you definitely did not go home hungry. The best was last... and amazing wedding cake made locally in Dover Plains. Do try the Preston Barn for your next event. You will not be disappointed in the least bit!”

““As an event planner, it’s very important to me to be able to step into my role at a venue and feel confident and comfortable as a collaborator. It was our first wedding here and from the first day I toured The Preston Barn, I knew that we could manage events with success. The event manager welcomed us, was explicit with all the information we needed to inform our vendor team and to do our job. Her highly organized nature and communication skills allowed us to manage a swift runup for this wedding. As we met the staff in the lead-up week, each person could not have been more helpful, friendly and eager to do whatever we needed to support our couple and us. From accommodating our decor requirements to serving a stellar and delicious dinner, they gave all and made the evening exceed all expectations for our couple and their guests. We look forward to joining them again with future couples!””

“We’ve performed at hundreds of venues from California wineries to Maine private islands - we know what it means to be a step above when it comes to venues. Preston Barn at Old Drovers Inn isn’t just an updated 1750 Inn with a cool vibe, it’s a place where the staff professionalism, service and food is remarkable. There are so many “small” things you never notice or are aware of at your celebration that make a big difference - like keeping everyone involved up to date on schedule changes, ensuring the flow of guests and entertainment is seamless and making sure everyone who’s thirsty doesn’t have to wait in line long. Those things set the mood and you’ll not have to worry about them at Preston Barn! We’re looking forward to our next visit there, for a performance or just because our production crew and artists go out of their way to visit and enjoy some of life’s simple pleasures. ”
