Mary&Bryan
Are Getting Married.
Travel
The Barn at Farrington Hollow is a private, all-inclusive farm venue. It is located in Cherry Creek, NY and set on 150 acres of wooded hills and farm land.
The property is about 1 hour from Buffalo, NY and 45 minutes from Ellicottville, NY. There is a parking lot on the venue's property.
Please plan for your own transportation (to and from the venue) if you are NOT staying at the Clarion Hotel (a shuttle will be provided at the hotel) or an on-site cabin. Phone reception may be poor in the area, and Ubers/Lyfts may not be available.
The couple will book cabins for their bridal party and friends staying on the venue's property
Because Cherry Creek is a small, rural town, we highly recommend that out-of-town family and friends check out Buffalo or Ellicottville, NY!

Bar-Bill Tavern
