New Marlborough — Gedney Farm was named to a list of “11 Stunning Farm Wedding Venues Across the Country” by Vogue.

“We were thrilled with the “Vogue” article, and gratified to see Gedney Farm recognized by such a nationally prominent magazine,” said Gedney Farm’s general manager Michael Smith. “Barn weddings” have indeed become quite “in vogue” the past couple of years, but we have been hosting stunning weddings in our barn for over 20 years. And while our facility may in part stand out because it is well equipped with AC and heat, we stand out more importantly because we have a highly skilled staff who are dedicated to their craft of delivering a comprehensive wedding experience which means excellent food, exceptional service, and genuine hospitality.”
