Though I haven’t had the pleasure of visiting yet, Blue Hill at Stone Barns seems like one of the most special places for a wedding (or a meal for that matter). Janney and Benjamin picked it for their wedding “because of the lovely pastoral setting, delicious food, and proximity to New York City. Also, we both value sustainably raised, locally-sourced food and wanted our special day to reflect this.” Here, some of Karen Hill‘s beautiful pics from the day.

The couple’s Cairn Terrier featured prominently on the invitations by Sesame Letterpress (he also had a role in the ceremony!).

Janney and Ben took some photos in the fields of Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture, a non-profit farm and education center at Stone Barns.

Nests and eggs under glass cloches fit the rustic setting perfectly.

Blue Hill at Stone Barns sources all of its ingredients from its surrounding fields and pastures, and from other local farms. Says Janney, “I should mention that we were thrilled with the wine pairings – each wine complemented its dish perfectly.” (See the full menu, plus wine pairings, at the bottom of the post.)

Janney’s advice to other brides: Just relax and have fun! On the day of, don’t sweat the details – at this point, you’ve probably done all the micro-managing that you can do. Also, hire the best professionals you can afford – they will take care of things for you!
