A Premier Wedding Venue in Vernon, NY

The Hitching Post

At The Hitching Post Event Venue at Hinman Farms, we’ve created a place where celebrations feel personal, heartfelt, and deeply rooted in the history of our land. As a family-owned venue in the quiet countryside of Vernon, New York, our property has been the backdrop for generations of love stories, including our own family’s weddings and receptions dating all the way back to 1956. Today, we proudly open our doors to couples, families, and organizations who want a wedding venue, event venue, or party venue that blends rustic charm with modern comfort. With sweeping fields, a large shimmering pond, and an original 1810 post and beam barn, our space offers a setting that feels timeless, peaceful, and unforgettable.

A Venue Where History & Celebration Come Together

Our venue is more than a location. It’s a place that holds memories. Kevin’s parents celebrated their reception here in September of 1956, and decades later, Kevin’s third daughter married here on September 1, 2023. Those weddings are part of the deep family history that makes The Hitching Post Event Venue such a meaningful place to celebrate. When you host your event here, you’re stepping into a space that has been treasured for generations.

Our 1810 barn is the heart of the venue. The post and beam structure has been lovingly preserved to highlight its historic character while still offering the space and comfort needed for today’s celebrations. The warm wood tones, vaulted ceilings, and natural textures create an atmosphere that feels elegant and welcoming, making it an incredible backdrop for weddings, receptions, banquets, anniversary parties, and community gatherings.

Reserve Your Perfect Day

Indoor & Outdoor Spaces Designed for Beautiful Celebrations

We offer a range of indoor and outdoor settings so you can shape your event exactly as you envision it. Many couples choose to exchange vows outdoors, surrounded by the rolling hills and peaceful landscape that define this part of Vernon. The fresh country air, wide-open skies, and rustic character of Hinman Farms make every ceremony feel grounded in nature and full of charm.

Our large pond adds a truly unique element to the property. Often described as football field-sized, this shimmering water feature becomes a stunning focal point during events, especially in the evening when its surface reflects the setting sun. For weddings and celebrations that want something extra memorable, we even showcase fireworks over the pond, creating a breathtaking finale that your guests will talk about long after the night ends.

Inside the barn, receptions come to life with space for dining, dancing, and celebrating in comfort. We provide tables and a full setup service so that your event comes together smoothly and effortlessly. Whether you’re planning a wedding reception, holiday party, banquet, reunion, or milestone celebration, our team is here to ensure the experience feels seamless from start to finish.

It’s the perfect gathering spot during receptions, cocktail hours, or private events.
