After seeing Hurd Orchards beautiful venue in person I inquired about having my ceremony and reception at their location. They put me in contact with their wedding coordinator (Molly Machamer). It took almost 2 weeks for her to respond to my inquire and she only did so after I personally called the owner asking why it had taken so long. I asked about the date I was interested in and after weeks of delayed response she told me the date was open. I wanted to lock it in and asked for the deposit contract ($2500) so my fiance and I could sign and begin our planning. After 4 weeks of no response I inquired again to which she still has not written back. I have NEVER experience such terrible service, especially after accepting the expensive terms of their contract! All other wedding venues got back to me within days, sometimes hours! I found out she lives in NC, has multiple jobs and plans weddings on the side. Since this would have been potentially the most important day of my life all I asked was for a bit of respect towards that and simple communication. I even wrote her saying I dont care if she responds with one sentence but to please get back to me. Not only was I shocked but so were my other service providers (photographer, DJ, Bar catering staff) since they all got back to me within days! When she did respond she told me to relax, that a year is more than enough time and to not stress over it.....umm WHAT!? To any potential bride please avoid this venue until they are able to hire someone who can properly plan your wedding and give you the attention that any bride deserves during the very special planning process! Till this date she STILL has not gotten back to me which is why I am writing this review. Not only did her lack of response prevent me from securing this location, it also hindered me locking in other places since she told me Hurd Orchards would be available. Over all Molly Machamer has been rude, inconsistent and terrible at communicating! FUTURE BRIDES BEWARE!

We had our wedding at Hurd Orchards in August of 2014. We worked directly with the owners - Sue and Amy - to plan every detail of our wedding and it was absoloutly spectacular. Hurd is not a traditional wedding venue - wedding are only a small portion of their business so if youre a bridezilla that needs constant communication with your venue or has a million tiny little requests, I suggest you go elsewhere. My plan was to trust Amy and Sue to do their thing - Ive been to many events at Hurd and they all were perfect - and they did not let me down! They handled the meal, the flowers (bouquets were fresh cut that morning from their farm), pies (instead of wedding cake) and amazing decor. My guests were stunned. It was the best wedding meal they have every had, every detail was perfect and the day turned out better than I could have asked. Ive seen some negative reviews from brides who considered having their wedding here, but Im getting the impression that these people needed a little more control/hand-holding and werent comfortable working with a FARM to plan their wedding (vs. a traditional wedding planner/venue).

Nice venue. Not much to look at as far as flowers. Went there for Fathers Day brunch. Very hot and they opened the door after and hour of everyone complaining. The food was mediocre. For 40 dollars a plate you got a sliver of ham and a few cubes of potatoes. Kid friendley it was not they didnt even have enough high chairs. And we had to share a table with another group. They even charged us full price for my 5 year old and 2 year old. ( they gave us a gift certificate for the in covience). Would not recommend at all

I enjoyed the most beautiful luncheon with my Mother and Aunt. The food was amazing! Arrange beautifully! Staff was very helpful and kind! One of the vegetables they were serving I was allergic to. The staff willingly substituted and made sure that I was safe and well taken care of. I would love to return and envoy another taste of the season.

Just had a Christmas Tea with 5 of my girlfriends at Hurd Orchards. It was a most charming experience! Delicious home baked food and attentive hostesses who obviously cherish the farm they tend. We were amazed at the variety of produce and the number of clever ways presented for people tosample it through various events. We will be back!

Apparently this business has "guard" dog(s) that are left out in the cold with inadequate shelter during the Winter months. They use them to prevent deer and other animals from destroying their fruit trees. Last night was 14 degrees out with a freezing windchill !!!! I will not patronize this business or any other that has such practices.

Will not frequent a place that leaves a dog outside with very little shelter in freezing weather and blowing snow!! Yes he may be a working dog to guard your fruit trees against deer. But theres ways to keep him warm and not in a cheap dog house. Make a nice wooden one with insulation!!

I was traveling through NY this weekend and ran into a girl selling jams and fruit from Hurd Orchard. I bought a jar a peach jam and I cannot explain how delicious this is. I will never be able to buy jam from the grocery store again! I wish I bought the entire lot now.

Wonderful, family-run farm in WNY. I highly recommend attending one of their luncheons!
