Attended a wedding here over the weekend and was very impressed! Beautiful location and the barn has been beautifully renovated with the perfect rustic touches all around!

The owners do a fantastic job running this place, and the venue itself is beautiful - a rustic barn, neat landscaping, and spectacular scenery. Plus the location is really convenient, being close to Utica and just off the thruway and 5S. I highly recommend checking it out for your wedding or other upcoming event!

This newly remodeled venue is truly phenomenal! The owner has put in a lot of time and resources to take input and make this a great place for a variety of events. He is willing to work with you to make it a great experience and meet special requests.

Getting married at Black Willows

Black Willows comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.

Corporate events & private parties at Black Willows

Reviews and the venue's own info mention corporate events, retreats, or private parties at Black Willows — barn venues often have real weekday availability since weddings claim the weekends. A quick call answers the three things that matter: weekday and off-season rates, whether the space works for your headcount and A/V needs, and what catering is allowed. If your event lands on a Friday or Saturday in wedding season, ask early.
