The Barn at Old Bethpage Village Restoration

We absolutely fell in love with the barn the minute we saw it! There are so few venues on Long Island that are as unique as the Barn and able to host a 275+ person wedding! It was a perfect choice for our October wedding. Laurie (catering) and Rosa (rentals) were so helpful and responsive from day one - I cannot thank them enough! They made the whole planning process easy and were wonderful to work with. The entire Dover staff was also wonderful on our wedding night!

My only call out would be that I didn't love the DJ they worked with at the time of our wedding, I didn't think he followed what we had discussed in all our calls leading up to the wedding (and he asked for a LOT of detail - so I was surprised). That may have just been a one off issue for us though. However, Rosa was there the whole night and was helpful in speaking with him and getting him back on track when we approached her about it, which I was very appreciative of.

Overall, I'd recommend the barn to any bride!

This place made my dream wedding come true. The stress leading up the the wedding was so worth it. We walked around the entire village and was able to get some great pictures. Rosa, who was the wedding planner and coordinator was amazing and so accodomating. The day of the wedding she made sure everything was perfect and that I was happy. My guest talk about how beautiful and how much fun they had till this day.

My husband and I were married in July 2016. We absolutely loved our wedding. It was definitely different. We got to create our idea of a perfect wedding from scratch. It was rustic and had everything we wanted. Since it was a raw space we did a lot of decor ourselves, but we were able to set up the day before which was extremely helpful. Rosa was the wedding planner and coordinator. She was such a great contact. She kept us organized and was flexible with our ideas and needs. Our pictures came out fantastic too. We went into the village and got some great shots with the old buildings and barns. Although the ceremony and cocktail hour was supposed to be outside - it started raining 5 minutes before. We had to change everything within 5 minutes and this probably would have normally been a disaster but it was actually perfect. All of our guest surrounded us in the barn as we said our vows. It was extremely intimate (and I say that even with our 210 guests). The barn is huge and all of our guests had plenty of room. We were very pleased we our experience and would definitely recommend it.

A few things to consider, there is no bridal suite. Just a side room with a divider near the rest rooms. So if that’s important to you, you should ask about your options. I wasn’t planning on hanging out in the bridal suite at all so I didn’t really care. You need to pay extra for valet. It’s definitely important to get the valet as the parking lot is quite a distance away for older guests. Lastly, the kitchen is technically in the barn. They put up a divider and cook all the food behind the divider. At first this was a concern because I thought we would hear them or smell it. It was not even close to being noticeable. It was behind the bar and no one even noticed. The only issue I had was during the ceremony. My husband’s only request was to have Miller High Life beer for our guests as they arrived. Unfortunately, they served Coors instead. BUT Rosa fixed it immediately!!
