Dell collective · Perry, New York
Letchworth starts at the bottom of the driveway.
Letchworth has three waterfalls, a railroad bridge over the gorge and miles of trail, and the Perry entrance sits a few hundred feet down the hill from the West Barn and minutes from the cabin. Elopements here run on a 2 night buyout of the West Barn or cabin, so the day is yours even when the crowd is small.
- Full space buyout
- 2 night minimum
- intimate venue
- Minutes from the park
How the day runs
Small does not mean rushed. It mostly means you get to actually enjoy the day.
The night before Already there
You wake up at the venue [West Barn].
The buyout covers both West Barn spaces for a minimum of two nights, so the morning has no drive in it. Highbanks is the quieter side: two bedrooms, two baths, a soaking tub under a chandelier and a loft nook with two chairs in it.
Garage doors on the east wall face the pasture and the Highbanks of Letchworth. Enjoy the sunrise from the couch, or outside with the farm animals grazing on pasture.
Late morning The park
Three waterfalls, and one of them has a bridge over it.
The Upper, Middle and Lower Falls sit within a few miles of each other on the Genesee, and the Upper Falls overlook puts the arched railroad bridge straight behind you. Before ten in the morning the overlooks are more or less empty.
Sunrise at Inspiration point would make for a ceremony like no other.
Letchworth is a state park, so a ceremony inside it runs on the park’s permits and rules rather than ours. Ask us and we will point you at whoever knows.
Afternoon Back on the lawn
Or skip the park entirely and use the yard.
The property has a wide open yard with the park across the valley, and both barn spaces open onto it through full-height glass doors. Four people and an arbour do not need much more than that.
The sheep and the potbelly pig will be interested in proceedings. Let us know if you'd like photos with the animal crew!
Evening Dinner
A table for four is easier to make good than a table for a hundred.
The Highbanks great room has a farm table under two chandeliers. Let us help out together a custom gourmet meal for your small group.
Then stargazing and S'mores at the fire pit on the lawn, which has chairs around it and no closing time.
Or 19A Cabin
Just the two of you, in the woods.
The 19A Cabin sits at the edge of Letchworth with the Genesee Valley Greenway out the back door, a hot tub under the trees and a screened porch with a swing bed. It is the smaller, quieter way to do this.
Ask about the cabin in the form and we will tell you how an elopement there works and which dates are open.
The terms, plainly
An elopement here is a full West Barn buyout, with fewer chairs.
- Full West Barn buyout Highbanks and Southview together, minimum two nights. This is how every wedding at the barn works, regardless of headcount.
- Or the 19A Cabin Two bedrooms at the edge of Letchworth with a hot tub, a screened porch and trail access out the back. The smaller setting for two.
- Up to 25 guests The published cap. An elopement usually lands nowhere near it, which is rather the point.
- May through November The window the property hosts events in.
- Minutes to Letchworth The Perry entrance is a few hundred feet down the hill from the driveway. Ceremonies inside the park itself are another option!
- Wedding planning Day-of coordination up to full planning, from someone with over ten years in the industry. Entirely optional.
- Rentals Additional rentals and restrooms may be required depending on the event. For four people that is usually a short or non-exhistant list.
- Food Charcuterie, brunch boxes, garden crudité and grocery stocking are on the standing enhancement list, set up before you arrive.
If a two night West Barn buyout is more than you want for a small group, say so in the form, or ask about the 19A Cabin.
From people who stayed
The first of these was written by someone who spent their honeymoon here.
Here for our honeymoon. The welcoming crew was the best we ever had. Squeals from Hazel and bleating from Boots, clucks from the chickens, my husband had a hard time pulling me away from the animals just to walk inside. West barn is artistically inspiring, there is no denying Amanda put a lot of thought into everything she placed inside these 4 walls. Our honeymoon was that much more special because of the space we stayed in! Oh, and the private chef and meal, 100% worth it. We will be back!

Staying at Dell Collective was truly an experience, not just a stay! The West Barn is absolutely gorgeous – an industrial-style, beautifully renovated barn that has been thoughtfully designed for everyone, whether you’re visiting as a family, for a quiet romantic getaway, or even dreaming of hosting an intimate wedding.

“Amanda was extremely hospitable, and helped us with anything we needed. She even helped setup an amazing proposal experience for us. The view was amazing, and the animal experience was more than memorable. This stay was one of the best getaways we ever had!”

Start here
Tell us when, and how many of you there are.
Two people and a witness is a normal enquiry here. So is two people and nobody else at all.
- Whether the dates you are looking at are open.
- What the buyout costs for your nights, on the booking page rather than from us guessing.
- What a ceremony in the park actually involves.
- Whether you want any planning help, or none.
Or call (607) 221-9373 if you would rather just talk.
Before you ask
The practical part.
Can we get married inside Letchworth State Park?
The park sets its own rules and permits for that, so it is a conversation with the park rather than with us. The Perry entrance is a few hundred feet down the hill from the driveway, and the Upper Falls overlook is the one with the railroad bridge behind it.
Many of our couples have done a ceremony inside the park.
Do we really have to buy out the whole barn for two people?
Any ceremony at the West Barn runs on a full buyout of both spaces with a two night minimum. That is the rule and it does not scale down by headcount. If that is the wrong shape for you, ask about the 19A Cabin in the form.
This ensures privacy for you and your fiance, rather than another guest renting one of the barn spaces.
What months are available?
May through November if you are going to require guest parking for up to 25 guests. Exceptions are made for smaller groups.
Can we bring a photographer and an officiant?
Yes. They are your vendors and you bring them.
What if it is only the two of us?
Then it is the two of you, both barn spaces and a farm, for two nights. Nobody will ask you to fill the chairs.
What does it cost?
Rates move with the date, the season, the day of the week and your guest count, so the booking page is the only honest answer. Cleaning fees apply.
When can we check in?
Check in is 3pm and check out is 10am, same as every Dell Collective property. Both are self-serve unless you ask otherwise, and instructions land in your email at 11am on arrival day.
What are the house policies?
