The farm is home to more than 50 Icelandic horses and is recognized as the only Icelandic horse farm in North America that operates as a wedding and event venue. Three distinct outdoor spaces — The Hill, the Upper Track, and the Lower Track — each accommodate up to 300 guests. The Hill commands a full 360-degree, unobstructed view of the Hudson Valley and the Catskill Mountain range, with the sun setting directly over the mountains to the west; it is the venue's signature setting. The Upper Track, nestled in the heart of the farm and enclosed by woods on most sides, offers a more private atmosphere with exceptional acoustics. The Lower Track, located near the barnyard entrance, positions guests among active horse fields with the property's large barn visible in the near distance. The venue operates seasonally from late April through early November and hosts a limited number of events per year to preserve the farm's character.

Champlain Valley Alpacas is a family-owned, 80-acre working farm in the Green Mountains of Vermont, run by the same family since 1998, where alpacas and grass-fed beef cattle are raised alongside a small vineyard. In 2011 the family opened the Vermont Wedding Barn, a do-it-yourself event venue seating up to 300 guests for weddings, proms, quinceañeras, birthday parties, anniversaries, and other celebrations. Couples choose their ceremony setting from options that include an open field or the property's own vineyard, both with views of the Adirondacks, and can decorate under a Pagoda-style redwood arbor or a rustic Adirondack-style arbor. The barn itself comes pre-lit with soft white string lighting and includes a contained bar area and a separate DJ or band space, along with round and rectangular tables and up to 250 complimentary white chairs. A signature feature of a Champlain Valley Alpacas wedding is the farm's alpaca herd, which guests can meet and photograph, including the venue's "Running of the Alpacas" moment. Wedding parties are given access to the property for four days — Thursday and Friday for setup and rehearsal, Saturday for the event, and Sunday for cleanup — and the bride and bridesmaids can stay overnight in the property's complimentary Poolside Cottage.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Fontana Boathouse sits on the shores of Buffalo's Black Rock Channel — a working boathouse and architectural landmark that serves as one of the city's most singular event venues. Wright originally designed the structure for the University of Wisconsin in 1905 and thought so highly of it that he included it in his celebrated 1910 Wasmuth Portfolio. The building came to life in Buffalo in 2007 through the philanthropy of Charles and Marie Fontana and their son Tom, for whom it is named. Wright's classic design details carry through every floor: large ceiling beams draw visitors from one space to the next, and Arts and Crafts lighting fixtures adorn the stairwells, reflected in the second-floor windows. The main banquet hall opens onto an outdoor balcony overlooking the Niagara River and Lake Erie, and wedding parties can make a memorable entrance by arriving at the boat dock below. The Fontana Boathouse is available year-round for weddings, corporate gatherings, and cocktail events. The West Side Rowing Club and Canisius College Crew Team continue to store boats on the first floor, keeping the building in active use exactly as Wright intended.
