West Song Farm

Founded in 2022 by two career musicians and music educators, West Song Farm is a versatile, inclusive, and welcoming space for anyone and everyone to gather and celebrate love, music, food and the beauty and bounty of the Hudson Valley. After decades of performing in venues around the world, our founders created an outdoor wonderland to host weddings, concerts, and events of every kind–only a short drive from NYC.

Dissatisfied with “traditional” event spaces, which are often stuffy and heavy on rules and regulations, West Song Farm is big on creativity, artistry, and mischief. We encourage our clients to think big. Anything is possible here. If you can dream it, we want to help you do it.
