No. La Luna Farm is a blank-canvas venue. We do not provide catering, decor, or full A/V equipment (our on-site A/V is limited). This gives you the ultimate flexibility to design your day. We will gladly share our curated list of recommended local vendors who know our property well.

Yes! To ensure your day is seamless and stress-free, all couples are required to hire at least a "Month-Of" or "Day-Of" Coordinator. While our on-site team will be here to manage the venue's facilities and operations, a dedicated coordinator is necessary to manage your personal decor, execute your timeline, and coordinate with all your wedding vendors. You must introduce us to your coordinator at least 3 months prior to your event.

For events with fewer than 40 guests, there is one gender-neutral restroom available on the ground floor of the barn.

For events with more than 40 guests, hosts will need to arrange portable restroom rentals. We’re happy to share a recommended vendor who is familiar with the property.m description

Yes. Event hosts must submit proof of event liability insurance 30 days before the event date. Additionally, all vendors working on the property must provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI). Your event coordinator will almost certainly help you navigate this.

Clients or their hired vendors are responsible for clearing all trash/recycling and breaking down centerpieces, candles, and decor. All items must be completely removed from the property by 11:00 AM the morning after your event.

The audio portion of any event - bands or DJs - must conclude by 11:00 PM. That said, we can happily arrange for you a fire-pit set up or recommend bars that remain open in nearby New Paltz.

• Candles: Allowed (outdoors only) if pre-approved by venue staff. They must be enclosed in glass, with the flame sitting at least 2 inches below the top of the glass. No floor or walkway placement is permitted. Artificial candles are allowed anywhere but cannot be enclosed in glass.

Guests or vendor smoking outside of these zones or excessive smoking debris left on the grounds (e.g., butts, etc.) will result in an additional cleanup fee.
