About West Song Farm

Founded in 2022 by two career musicians and music educators, West Song Farm is an 18-acre working farm, wedding venue, and gathering place in Westtown, New York. Rooted in the Hudson Valley, it’s a welcoming space for weddings, concerts, private events, food, music, and celebrations of all kinds—just a short drive from New York City.

After decades of performing in venues around the world, our founders wanted to create something different: an outdoor space with room for creativity, artistry, and a little mischief.

We’re not big on stuffy rules or one-size-fits-all events. We encourage our guests and clients to think expansively and make the farm their own. If you can dream it, we want to help you bring it to life.
