Glamping, or glamorous camping, has become a popular choice for couples wanting a blend of nature and comfort.

You know that moment when you’re scrolling Instagram and think, "Wow, that wedding looks like it came straight out of a Nicholas Sparks novel meets a Vogue editorial?" Yeah, chances are it happened at Gilbertsville Farmhouse.
Because here, weddings aren’t just one-day whirlwinds. They’re full-blown, put-on-your-fuzziest-flannel-and-your-fanciest-shoes kind of experiences. It’s where glamping, goat yoga, and unforgettable “holy crap this is actually happening” moments come together in the most magical way possible.
First Things First: This Ain’t Your Typical Barn Wedding
Let’s clear something up: Gilbertsville isn’t “rustic chic” in that Pinterest-overdone kind of way. It’s a 125-acre former dairy farm turned luxury glamping wedding venue nestled in Upstate New York. Picture this:
Tents with real beds and linens that feel like a cloud
A chandelier-lit barn that somehow feels both fancy and like home
Cocktail hour with mountain views and your college roommate doing yoga... with goats
Yes, goat yoga. We’ll get to that.
Why It’s Not Just a Wedding—It’s a Whole Weekend Vibe
Traditional weddings? Blink and they’re over. But at Gilbertsville, it’s a whole vibe for the whole weekend. Guests arrive Friday and don’t leave until Sunday, which means no driving between hotels, no rushing, and no one misses the sparkler send-off because they left early.
Everyone’s glamping, grazing (on gourmet farm-to-table food, not grass), and genuinely connecting. Think bonfires, brunches, late-night karaoke, goat meet-and-greets… you get the idea.
Wait—Goat Yoga? You’re Serious?
As a heart attack. And it’s weirdly the highlight of the weekend.
Imagine doing a downward dog and having an actual baby goat jump on your back. It’s joyful, totally unpredictable, and the ultimate ice-breaker. Even Aunt Linda who “doesn’t do yoga” will be cackling.
More than just a fun activity, it lightens the mood, relaxes nerves, and brings everyone—yes, even the cool groomsmen—out of their shells.
Why Couples Are Flocking Here (Pun Absolutely Intended)
Because people are done with cookie-cutter weddings. They want meaning, they want memories, and they want a story no one else can tell.
Gilbertsville Farmhouse is the answer to that prayer you whisper when you’re over budget, underwhelmed, and overwhelmed by 900 venue tabs. It’s high-end without the ego, cozy without the kitsch, and so you without you having to explain it.
And the best part? The team gets it. They’ve hosted hundreds of weddings. They know what works, what doesn’t, and how to take your Pinterest board and turn it into a weekend your guests will talk about forever.
