00:00Good morning, this is June Farms.
00:10When you come to June Farms, it feels like all of your problems in your everyday life.
00:13They just sort of float away.
00:15The farm is a little slice of heaven in the Hudson Valley.
00:19And we are the premier events destination of upstate New York.
00:23We're a wedding business.
00:25We have a hotel business.
00:28We have a bar, we have a restaurant.
00:31We have countless animals that people just show up to see and walk around and have a beer and experience happiness and pure joy.
00:39We have Poppy here, Butter's here, Billy's driving the vehicle, and then we have Crumb Fresh.
00:46They're very sweet.
00:48We always give incredible service to our guests.
00:51We throw all kinds of events on the farm, but the weddings are definitely the most profitable and exciting.
00:57By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride.
01:04As peaceful and calm and beautiful as June Farms is, it's not the easiest business to run.
01:10They do know there's a wedding, right, in like five minutes?
01:12Yes.
01:13Her dress isn't even on yet.
01:14Where's the music?
01:15Why is it not working?
01:16You guys are impressing at the moment.
01:18The bus is stuck.
01:19Do you have any tires that could come over and pick us up?
01:21Would you get in the back of my pickup truck?
01:23Yeah, we've got 40 girls up.
01:24The rain has started.
01:26Is this real life right now?
01:28I hate these little lawn lanterns.
01:30Oh my God, I'm going to pass out.
01:35In the Hudson Valley, wedding season goes from May to October.
01:39I want my staff trained and to be June Farms ready for anything.
01:44Everyone has to do their job correctly, otherwise it all falls apart.
01:47I feel a lot of pressure that every event that we have is an absolute success because if it isn't,
01:53I'm running the risk of the farm not working out and me losing literally every single cent that I have.
01:58Hi, Mary. Give me some love.
02:00My name is Matt Baumgartner and I'm the owner of June Farms.
02:17I grew up in Utica, New York and then moved to the Hudson Valley.
02:20And as kids, we all grew up outside in the woods playing and working.
02:25At a really young age, I ended up going into the restaurant and bar business.
02:29I went into hospitality because I knew that I would be good at it.
02:33I really care about the details. I care about music, lighting.
02:36I worked really hard and ended up building a restaurant empire in New York.
02:41In 2017, I made a decision that I would sell all of my 15 bars and restaurants
02:46and buy land to build my ultimate dream, a place called June Farms.
02:51June Farms feels like the culmination of all of my past businesses.
02:55It embodies everything that I have learned and everything that I feel like I have felt from that has brought me to this point.
03:03Hey, everybody. Welcome back for the start of a new season.
03:06This whole season is packed with weddings, events, birthday parties, baby showers.
03:10It feels like this is the first season that June Farms is at a level that big corporations, like important guests,
03:16want to have all of their parties here, all of their weddings.
03:19So that's exciting for all of us. The farm looks beautiful.
03:22And service wise, I just want to keep growing and keep giving these people like a better and better experience every single time.
03:27If they're giving out Michelin stars for farms, I'd like three of them.
03:30Watching Matt come from the businesses he owned before to what he has done now, it's super inspiring.
03:37Some other fun things. We had a calf give birth yesterday. I see that as a really good sign of good luck for the season.
03:43I have a lot of respect for Matt for many different reasons.
03:46He is a leader. He is a strong businessman. This is my third season working for him.
03:52But his name has been in my ear for years on end.
03:55So tonight we have dueling pianos that sold out. That's great.
03:59We have wine and swine. So there is going to be Jen down with the pigs giving out wine.
04:03Tomorrow we have dog park night. In addition to June Farms being a weekend wedding space, we also operate as a full, busy public space.
04:12Friday night is also the Albany Symphony fundraiser that's also open to the public.
04:17Something in my brain doesn't stop me from booking like five huge events every single week. It's just chaos.
04:24I'd like to ask a favor. I'd like to not be asked if I can do a shot all the time.
04:32Because I will.
04:34I should just be looking at Leighton. I don't even know why I'm looking at anyone else.
04:38I'm just embracing team bonding, but I'll stop.
04:41Matt is a good listener. Awesome farmer. Great coworker because he's always right there in the weeds with us.
04:48A flirt.
04:49Sorry, it's just there's a lot of random noises that'll be happening here.
04:55I'd like to talk about the weddings that we have coming up. We have one this weekend that is pretty epic, beautiful couple named Sophia and Justin.
05:05Okay, so this bride was working at a restaurant when Justin walks in. She clocks out to go talk to him. And before you know it, they move in together. And then the rest is history. And then because he proposed in the woods, they have chosen to transform the middle of the woods into their own ceremony site.
05:23It's going to be an enchanted forest theme. To make that happen, we are going to build a brand new wedding site in the woods. But it needs like a ton of work. We have to clear the ferns. We have to build a platform. We're going to have tiki torches, beautiful lanterns positioned on tree stumps. It has to feel elegant and magical. So we have a lot of work to do.
05:45I really want this whole season to just be exceptional. Giving these guests like the time of their life and the experience of their life. It's a train that I'm on and I really want to do it with you guys.
05:57Aw.
05:59Thank you guys.
06:04What time are the cleaners coming?
06:08I'm the cleaner.
06:09Oh, you're the cleaner.
06:10Yeah, Siobhan has the lodge and your loft and Johanna has the Airstream, the Hobbit and I think Kevin won. So I'm cleaning today.
06:26Our lodging is a mixture of high-end architectural details and playfulness.
06:34We have these new wellness huts opening up.
06:38Trying to get all the wellness huts done in the same week that we're trying to build a new ceremony site has been problematic.
06:44Everyone that works at the farm is at a 10 with the stress level.
06:48I see this sort of like, I see you shaking, so I'm worried that you're taking on too much.
06:52No, I'm not.
06:53Michelle, she's in charge of guest hospitality. I've known her for 20 plus years. She used to help me mop the floors at my first restaurant so that I could get out earlier and go drink with her.
07:02We have to have a wellness experience menu for them. When they're here, it's like, oh wow, they have massages and IV drips and Michelle's doing hair and makeup.
07:10It would be great if June Farms ultimately succeeds in the highest level because it would mean that I did it with my friends.
07:16What are we giving them as a sort of like welcome to the wellness huts? A welcome note and eggs or a bottle of wine?
07:22Do you know me?
07:23So should we do wine?
07:24Yes.
07:25Let's do wine.
07:26I think that the new wellness huts are very popular because I like to recoup some of my investment at this farm, so we have a lot to get done.
07:33Is that a twist off?
07:34No, but we have wine openers.
07:35We do here. Okay.
07:36Keep going back.
07:46Yep. There you go.
07:47All right. I'm going to run up. You need anything?
07:49Get out of here.
07:50Oh.
07:51Till next time.
07:52Bye.
07:53Wait, Tom, I need more olives.
07:55Olives?
07:56Yeah.
07:57All right. Got you, boo-boo.
07:58I'm only having him do one of each wine tonight.
08:01Okay.
08:02For red.
08:03I'm just letting everyone on a shift be the lead bartender.
08:06Okay.
08:07So that they're responsible for the cash.
08:09No.
08:10Not me.
08:11Is that Ellie?
08:12Da, da, da, da.
08:15Then Jill.
08:16Jill looks good still.
08:17We got that nice kiss, sun-kissed skin and stuff.
08:20A little smile.
08:21She looks...
08:22A little snarky.
08:24She looks good.
08:25I'm definitely crushing on Jill.
08:27Last summer, we kissed.
08:28In my head, it was just fireworks going off.
08:30I was kind of cloud nine.
08:31Oh, I just get butterflies.
08:32Bro, you're blushing right now.
08:34What the fuck?
08:35I get nervous.
08:36I get a little sweaty too, bro.
08:38Dude, this tent's too far back.
08:40It's flooding.
08:42Normally, our weddings are on Saturdays and Sundays.
08:45So during the week, we're usually bartending
08:47and setting up for the big events.
08:48What would you like to drink?
08:50Can I empty you an arbor?
08:51Oh, yeah.
08:52I can't.
08:53You didn't tell me that it's actually rain coming down.
08:56When people ask me to describe our friendship,
08:58like I can't even put it into words.
09:00I would say fun.
09:02Yeah, that's a good...
09:03No, that's...
09:04I would say absolutely fun.
09:05I want to go on the quad right now.
09:07I know.
09:08I don't want to work at all.
09:09Why?
09:10We go way...
09:12Yeah, way back.
09:13I got to do some math in my brain.
09:15To sixth grade.
09:16So that's 13 years.
09:17Oh, my God.
09:18Oh!
09:19You got me, bro?
09:20Jill!
09:21You got me?
09:22Yeah, I got you.
09:23The tattoo on the back of my arm,
09:24every flower represents a special woman in my life,
09:26and Jill is one of them.
09:27She's the sunflower.
09:28Can I go faster?
09:29Anybody want a drink?
09:30Oh, Dee's coming.
09:31To be paid to be here and be in a beautiful place
09:32and also do it with, like, my best friend is nuts.
09:34I can't believe we get to do this.
09:35Ellie got me the job here.
09:36Thanks, Ellie.
09:37Thanks, Ellie.
09:38Thanks, Ellie.
09:39Thanks, Ellie.
09:40Thanks, Ellie.
09:41Thanks, Ellie.
09:42Thanks, Ellie.
09:43Thanks, Ellie.
09:46What, do we have to take out the trash, too?
09:50What the hell?
09:51What, do I have to finish off this bottle of Prosecco
09:54because we opened it?
09:55What the hell?
09:56I think so.
09:57To waste my arm.
10:06Look how cute they are.
10:08Hello.
10:09How are you?
10:10Justin.
10:11How are you doing?
10:12Nice.
10:13Hello.
10:14Hey, so you like how I did that?
10:15Oh, my God.
10:16It's raining and it's like all of a sudden the sun comes out.
10:18Happy wedding week.
10:19I'm freaking out.
10:20I'm so excited.
10:21Do we have to talk in here first or are we going right to the site?
10:22We can go right down here.
10:23I'm ready.
10:24Okay, all right, cool.
10:25We're good.
10:26All right, follow me.
10:27Do you know where Josh is meeting us?
10:28I think he might be down there right now.
10:30Josh is the June Farms General Farm Manager.
10:33He's phenomenal at projects.
10:35He's phenomenal at taking direction and implementing things at the farm really well the way that it
10:39wanted to be done.
10:40He's kind of like the jack of all trades at the farm.
10:43So I rely on him for so much stuff.
10:46Are you guys coming down?
10:49Are you down at the ceremony site?
10:51I am.
10:52Yeah, yeah.
10:53The wedding couple's here.
10:54We're going to hop in a car.
10:55I'll be right down.
10:56Perfect.
10:57I love seeing the sunshine through all the openings in the tree.
11:07It's so pretty.
11:08It's still a little bit of a construction site, so.
11:11Yeah, you guys might want to hang out back there.
11:14Because of the mud?
11:16Yeah, it's pretty muddy from the rain.
11:18Okay, why don't you guys step over here?
11:20I'm going to sort of talk you through what the plan is.
11:22So we have a bunch of logs being cut tomorrow.
11:25We started over there that are going to be kind of like accented with some beautiful lanterns and white candles.
11:30We have these really gorgeous lanterns that will be placed around the ceremony site with real candles.
11:35We have all the wood chips going down to be walkable and clean and create a nice, like, you know, pretty look, I guess.
11:42If you want to see what it looks like, wood chips.
11:47Where we have other wood chips that have been down.
11:49Yeah, we have multiple places, including, like, the playground.
11:52I mean, I can read the expression on your face.
12:01Yeah.
12:02Trust me, it's in my brain.
12:03Yeah, freaking out a little bit.
12:05I cannot believe I'm showing this beautiful bride a dirty mud pit.
12:10I would describe the look on her face as horror.
12:14Plan on everything being done tomorrow.
12:16Yeah.
12:17The good thing is that we'll see it on Friday.
12:18Okay.
12:19So you'll see what all the wood chips feel like.
12:20We can assess it then.
12:22I think I'm just concerned about this weather now and with the rain coming up and wood chips and an ivory dress.
12:28Right.
12:29A little bit of a concern there.
12:30Have you thought about something you might want to see on the ground that would be sort of a solution to that?
12:34Yeah, maybe, like, a runner at least.
12:37You know, I think she's thinking I'm supposed to, like, build some marble floor and it's like, I'm not doing that.
12:42So wood chips are really the only option that we use at the farm that I think will look appropriate for an enchanted forest wedding.
12:49Just to clarify again, for the lights with trees, what did you say that's going to be?
12:52We have little lanterns with candles.
12:55What do you think?
12:58I feel like string lights could have been really pretty as well.
13:03I do want to give them what they want.
13:08But in my opinion, putting string lights all in the enchanted forest will look tacky.
13:15One of the things that I like actually about being in control of the weddings at the farm is that I can try to steer her away from that.
13:21I only thought the candles would look prettier just because it feels like the star of the show is you and the forest.
13:28Okay.
13:29Sorry, Justin.
13:30The woods, like, this is, like, a very important thing for us. Like, Justin proposed to me in the woods.
13:36And keep in mind, once you have all the flowers and the roses and the candles and the white, the white from everything, it's going to be really, really pretty.
13:45I'm so stressed.
13:46I am also so stressed. I'm just worried she's going to be like, we trusted you. You told me about that.
13:52And I don't like that feeling. I just always want to, like, deliver.
13:54I look forward to showing you what we will have on Friday.
13:57I look forward to seeing it finished.
14:19All right. That made me nervous.
14:21Yeah. I just saw, like, the look on her face.
14:24Oh, the look of terror?
14:25Yeah.
14:26I feel like the takeaway from that was the muddy part.
14:30Yeah.
14:31What I heard was, I'm worried about it being too wet.
14:33Yeah.
14:34I don't even know what to do if it doesn't stop raining about changing that.
14:37Safiya and Justin, they've chosen to have a wedding in the middle of the woods, a brand new ceremony site.
14:42I really, really, truly want it to look like the beautiful enchanted forest that she wants.
14:46But I think it's supposed to rain on the day before the wedding.
14:49So I'm concerned now that it's going to be muddy and that she's not going to like it.
14:53I'm really, I really hope it ends up working out.
14:56This is new for all of us.
14:58Oh, God. I hope she, we don't have to run string lights.
15:00That would be cool.
15:01Yeah.
15:02I thought that a takeaway was you never ask what the bride wants.
15:07You just tell her what she wants.
15:10Oh, well.
15:11I thought you said that, like, three or four years ago.
15:14I probably did.
15:15I can get nice pictures when the deck is done and the wood chips are down.
15:18Yeah, yeah.
15:19If you'd like, tomorrow.
15:21It's like, hey, it already looks a million times better.
15:23I think we have to really make the platform look kind of, like, as nice as possible.
15:28Yeah.
15:29So it is like, oh, shit, that's a beautiful platform.
15:31Are you sure you're going to finish this platform by Friday?
15:34Yeah.
15:36Because I'm the general manager, I'm feeling the pressure for Matt.
15:39There's a lot of work to be done.
15:41I don't want to disappoint Matt.
15:43It can not get done.
15:46Right?
15:47Of course.
15:48Yeah.
15:49With the ceremony site, we're going to put wood chips,
15:52and I'm hoping that they will dry out.
15:54And Josh promised the platform will get done.
15:56I'm thinking of the solutions, and I'm thinking about what it will look like at the final moment.
16:00And I really do believe it's going to be beautiful.
16:03It's going to be fine.
16:04I'm just worried.
16:05Okay.
16:06Thanks, Josh.
16:07This wedding wants to do a signature drink sign.
16:17Hi, guys.
16:18What's the first and last name?
16:20The Lavender Collins is actually our premier drink here.
16:24You've got to post it and tag us at June Farm.
16:27Hi.
16:28How's it?
16:29Good. How are you?
16:30How's it going?
16:31Good.
16:32Excited?
16:33Yeah.
16:34Nervous?
16:35I think it'll be fine.
16:36Yeah.
16:37I'm Leah.
16:38I'm brand new at June Farms, and I'm very excited to work here.
16:41The farm is beautiful, and Matt is one of the most well-known people around this area in the hospitality industry.
16:48I think it's going to be really awesome to work under him and to further my knowledge in this field.
16:54I was hired mainly as a server, but I know that there's a lot of events that take place at June Farms,
17:00and overall, I'm just super excited about any opportunity that comes my way.
17:05So, you're serving tonight, Leah?
17:06Yeah.
17:07Okay.
17:08Any questions?
17:09No.
17:10Okay.
17:11Maybe as they come, I'll come to you.
17:13Yeah, yeah.
17:14And I want to have people here that kind of, like, grow with us, and I hope you're one of those people truly.
17:17Yeah.
17:18Again, I think I said this to you before, but I'm a little hard in the beginning just because I really care about the details,
17:23so please don't take it personally.
17:24Oh.
17:25But service is, like, you know, very important to me, but I look forward to working with you.
17:34Good to see you.
17:35How you guys been?
17:36How handsome?
17:37Guys, how good were the tacos?
17:40Delicious.
17:41You guys got to try the tacos.
17:42They're so good.
17:48Today, I have so much going on at the farm in general.
17:55The clock is ticking, the rehearsal's tomorrow, and to add to the pressure, we only have two days to get this ceremony site ready for this big wedding.
18:03Every wedding at June Farms has to be perfect.
18:07Well, the wood chips look phenomenal.
18:10This feels very good.
18:12It's, like, crazy how much these wood chips, like, make such a difference.
18:15I do really wish that she was here tonight instead of last night.
18:19No, no, you know what, that's good, though.
18:20That's good, though.
18:21The bar was so low that we showed her that, like, this is going to make her so happy.
18:24Wood chips are down.
18:26We've got to finish this platform.
18:27Then we have to create this enchanted forest with beautiful lanterns and candles and stumps.
18:33It's supposed to feel like this fairy tale wedding.
18:35I really think what we're going to do is going to look very simple and elegant.
18:38I really do think she's going to like it.
18:40Oh, I'm, like, going to cry.
18:41I'm so relieved.
18:42The ground dried up really well, too.
18:44I was nervous about the mud, but it rained this morning,
18:47and even before we were putting down the wood chips, there was, like, no issue.
18:51I'm really, like, feeling pretty good about it.
18:53It's great.
18:54Let me ask you this.
18:54When do you think that platform will be done?
18:56It'll take a little bit longer, but I feel really comfortable with the amount of work I have left here.
19:01And then, I guess, let's wrap it up tomorrow.
19:06Tomorrow's the rehearsal.
19:07Oh.
19:09I mean, it has to be done.
19:11Well, they have to be able to stand on it tomorrow.
19:13I don't know if it needs to be, like, stained and, like, this, well, it shouldn't have steps, obviously.
19:16It definitely needs to be stained.
19:17Maple is really, it's beautiful.
19:19The grain is beautiful.
19:20There are barely any knots, but it's super pale.
19:22I'd rather get as much work as I can done today.
19:25There's a lot of challenges lying ahead of us, for sure, but I do trust Matt's vision and that he's leading us to a place that's going to bring everyone success.
19:37So, you're good with the platform.
19:39Yeah.
19:39So, everyone else can be helping kind of get this place looking good with, like, a plan.
19:43Josh is acting like he has it all covered.
19:45It's definitely making me nervous because I'm not quite believing it, but I have so many other things that I have to start worrying about that I just don't have time to even be, like, focusing on this right now.
19:53So, we have a lot of work to do.
20:09How's the wedding site?
20:10Beautiful.
20:11You're not stressed out about it?
20:12No longer.
20:13Well, the time getting it done for her rehearsal tomorrow at five is a little tricky.
20:18You want a drink?
20:20Were you not at the meeting?
20:23He's the one that's trying to get me drunk all this time now.
20:26Well, I want him to relax a little.
20:44Sorry.
20:45No, you're okay.
20:46I was just going to grab your hand.
20:47I'm cold.
20:48You are?
20:49Do you want my sweatshirt?
20:50Maybe I'll take it later.
20:51Okay.
20:53Vroom, vroom, bitch.
21:00You're not busy, right?
21:02Really?
21:02No.
21:02Okay.
21:03So, maybe you can do this together.
21:04I need the tiki torches placed around the ceremony in the woods, 12 on each side in ways that feel romantic.
21:12It's just going to feel like it's, you know, when you guys get married, where would you want them?
21:17How would you want them to look?
21:18Oh, my God.
21:18You're so much.
21:18You know, Leighton and Ellie, I love the two of them together as a couple for the most part.
21:23Awkward silence.
21:24Oh, my God.
21:24People often get into relationships at June Farms.
21:28I think when you have a very social, good-looking staff, that tends to happen.
21:32But if they get their job done, then frankly, I don't care.
21:35And we have 48 places, many that looks enchanted but not obnoxious.
21:39Too much.
21:39Okay.
21:40Okay, thanks, guys.
21:46I think that's too close to that one.
21:48You think?
21:49I love that that gives us, like, little jobs to do here and there together.
21:53It is kind of fun.
21:54Maybe one closer to the log over here.
21:58Oh, yeah.
22:00Oh, my God.
22:03That was a good throw.
22:04That was a really good throw.
22:05I was impressed.
22:06And then what?
22:07Like here, right?
22:09Hey, Leighton, there's one more thing I need.
22:14Move a few of those logs up to the back corner and doing the same thing.
22:18Okay.
22:18And then...
22:19And those two?
22:20Those are extra, so we'll probably just get rid of them somewhere.
22:23Or maybe...
22:24Or scatter them.
22:25And then the three ferns there, we're just moving to the red sign, and that's it.
22:29Cool.
22:30Leighton's whole job is set up events, break down events, and in the middle be really charming to all the guests.
22:35I am so busy right now, and I've worked with Leighton.
22:39For like 10 years, he's like one of the few people that understands what I want aesthetically.
22:44So in order for this wedding to look as magical and enchanted as we want it to, I'm going to have Leighton bring a bunch of tree stumps, put it around the perimeter, and we're going to make it look really nice.
22:55I want to see how it looks lit up, too.
22:58Well, that's the good thing is like no matter what, when they are lit, they're going to look great, so...
23:02Leighton and I met at June Farms.
23:04He was hosting, I was bartending, and so we just became best friends.
23:08We just started having fun.
23:10Oh, my God.
23:11And kind of one thing led to another.
23:13We...
23:14We hooked up!
23:16And then since then, it was kind of history.
23:19I love you.
23:20I love you, too.
23:21I'd say Ellie and I fell for each other, yeah.
23:23Oh, I was for sure in love with her like probably six months before she even gave me a chance.
23:28Are you complimenting me?
23:29I am.
23:29Are you flirting with me?
23:30A little bit.
23:31Those times we just spent like just her and I, I think is the best part about working at June Farms.
23:37We always vibed, we always partied, we always had fun.
23:39I feel like you can't really like, you can't really fuck up putting tiki's out.
23:43They look good no matter what.
23:44Knowing Matt so well, if he hates him, he'll just come down here, change him, and not say anything to me.
23:53I think that's pretty good.
23:56I'm going to go back up.
23:57Yep, yep, yep, yep.
23:58Bye, Josh.
23:59Bye, Josh.
24:01See you later.
24:31I check out the wedding site.
24:36The tree stumps have never been moved and Leighton is nowhere to be found.
24:42I called you to ask you to do something and it didn't get done.
24:44I have to delegate certain things to certain people and if it doesn't get done, then what, now I have to do it?
24:50I asked Leighton to do one thing, which was to move the tree stumps around the perimeter.
24:54He didn't even do that.
24:55We have the rehearsal in like 10 hours.
24:57I have so much other shit to do.
24:58I have so much other shit to do.
24:58I'm starting to freak out.
24:59Are you stressing me the fuck out?
25:00It's a, I'm, you're stressing me the fuck out.
25:02I didn't even want that project.
25:04I don't know.
25:04Well then don't.
25:04You're hearing me stress about it and you're just taking off.
25:09There's no room for error because I'm not going to look embarrassed professionally in front of a bunch of wedding guests.
25:15So I rely on him, but he's not there.
25:18Didn't do anything I asked him to.
25:19Gives me attitude when I ask him why it's not done.
25:22When I tell you to do a job, get it done, period.
25:24There's no more conversation.
25:25If you can't get it done, then we have a further conversation to be had.
25:28I gave you a job, you didn't do it.
25:29It's like, I don't have time for this shit.
25:31Leighton, I got to go.
25:32I got a million things to do.
25:43Josh, it feels so far behind and they're coming in four hours and this feels like the framework might not even be done by six.
25:49I don't know.
25:50It's Friday.
25:51The day of the wedding rehearsal.
25:53There's a lot of work to be done on this platform.
25:55I still need to do the decking, the front step and stain it.
25:59I'm starting to feel the pressure.
26:01Is there somebody on the team that you feel like can help you with this?
26:05Yeah, I mean, maybe miles.
26:09This is the quickest part of the whole thing.
26:12I'm freaking out just a touch that everything's not going to get done in time.
26:15This needs to be wood chipped.
26:16Okay.
26:17All right.
26:18There's people in heels that are going to be walking down this.
26:20You seem pretty smart.
26:24Can I give you a task?
26:25We had just had a bunch of rain.
26:26It was very, very muddy.
26:27I feel a lot of pressure in the next, what, eight hours before rehearsal to show her something that's not going to freak her the fuck out.
26:33I want this wedding to be perfect for them.
26:37It's not just a business for me.
26:38It's literally my whole life.
26:39Hi, everyone.
26:50My name's Victoria.
26:51I'm the wedding and vent coordinator for the farm.
26:53All right.
26:53We're going to get on these golf carts here and head down to where the ceremony is going to be.
26:57We'll have a little reveal.
26:58And then we're going to run through the ceremony really quickly.
27:00And then we'll get you guys out of here for dinner.
27:01My job at the farm is being the head of events.
27:05I run all of our events.
27:07I do it all.
27:07I think for only being one full year at June Farms that I've been doing a really great job.
27:13And we've had a successful event every single time.
27:16This is the Hobbit house.
27:17Look at how cute that is.
27:19I'm like embarrassed right now to even tell them this.
27:32I'm going to be crying.
27:35Can I say he wants to take a shot with us?
27:38You know what?
27:39At the end of my day, I'll take a shot with you guys.
27:40All right.
27:45Oh, God.
27:49All the way up here.
27:57We're just going to stop here so I can explain the scenario.
28:01Everybody, I try to get everything.
28:06It's been a long day.
28:07I tried my best to get it done as much as I could.
28:09I swear.
28:09Okay.
28:11It's like 75% there.
28:13I just don't want you to think it's going to be money.
28:15I promise.
28:17Okay.
28:17Yeah, my word.
28:18Okay.
28:18Yeah, I like have never failed like this.
28:21And I feel like I want it to be like just a really beautiful reveal right now.
28:24And it isn't.
28:25So I'm sorry about that.
28:26Oh, that was a nightmare.
28:36Oh, that was a nightmare.
28:40It felt like everything was collapsing on me.
28:45I mean, the stress of not having that ceremony site ready for Sophia in front of her family when she trusted us for her wedding was embarrassing.
28:56How's this going?
28:57This is very unlike Josh.
29:00I feel like I've always been able to rely on him for anything.
29:02Had I not stepped in, that platform would not have been built.
29:06And it seems like he is sort of over-promising and under-delivering.
29:12And then we had this huge failure with Layton not helping me with the logs.
29:16It's always this sort of struggle for me where I feel like I'm trying to run the best place on earth.
29:21And as much as I try to keep it all perfect, I never can.
29:25When I'm done staining, I have to spread those wood chips or at least kind of get them evened out.
29:31Oh, okay.
29:33Oh, you're so close.
29:40Good morning.
29:47Mother, the bride taking all their stuff at the end of the night, so if you have anything, just let me know where it is.
29:52Why can't anybody get here on time?
29:53I know.
29:54These boys are guaranteed they're just going to show up late.
29:57That looks good, right?
29:58I think this looks beautiful.
30:00Okay.
30:00Regardless of what happened, it's all done and really nice.
30:04I'm very relieved that it's finished.
30:06For the couple to see a transformed ceremony site, I'm really proud of it.
30:11Although with Layton, I just feel like he let me down.
30:15You know, but then he shows up and just like crushes it.
30:17I give Layton a pass because I know that he is young and in love.
30:21He does a really good job for me, so I rely on him a lot and I want him to be there.
30:25But I don't have time to dwell on that because I just have to get ready for this wedding.
30:28You know what else?
30:29They never even remember this part.
30:30I mean, they do a little bit, but it's such a blur.
30:32Yeah, it's also 15 minutes.
30:34But she's going to have the most beautiful 15 minutes of her life.
30:39The bride is coming at 440-ish.
30:42So I was going to do three clusters on this side, three on this side.
30:45There's a chair down there for the musician?
30:48There it is.
30:48Okay, perfect.
30:49Oh, look who chose to show up late.
30:52You guys ready?
30:53Yeah, now that we set everything up.
30:59Oh, shit.
31:00Wow.
31:00Is there anything going with these, Lisa, or is it just this?
31:06It's just that, I mean, it's not my favorite.
31:07It's like roses, dead leaves an inch away from it.
31:10I don't know why anybody would think a long, thin, sad row of white roses would look good.
31:17We have to do some candles.
31:18I have to do something to it.
31:19I mean, it looks like crap.
31:22I love that everyone thinks there's like a team of other people that I can call and be like, fix the roses.
31:26I don't have those people.
31:28I do that stuff.
31:29So when I see little details that are wrong, I just change it.
31:34This feels like we spent money on roses.
31:36That felt like we didn't have enough money for enough roses.
31:39Yo, you said you needed cups to came back with flowers.
31:42Yeah, because the table looks kind of plain.
31:46You better hold on to those plants.
31:48Obviously, if you drive smart.
31:50Ready, princess?
31:51All right, let's do it.
31:52Trinnell had asked me if I could shuttle him down to the Hobbit house with jugs of water where they're setting up the bar for the wedding.
32:00I like the weddings, and I hope they're going to let me focus more on the larger events moving forward.
32:07Door-to-door drop-off.
32:08How about it?
32:09I accept Venmo.
32:11Venmo for what?
32:12Popeye's gift cards.
32:12You should be paying me.
32:14What?
32:15Yo, are you serious?
32:17What?
32:18That looks corny.
32:19That looks corny to you.
32:20Put them on the ground.
32:21The table looks empty.
32:23They want a refund on their cucumber water.
32:26I'll see you around.
32:33Oh my God, look how gorgeous she looks.
32:39I just want to say hi quickly.
32:41You look so gorgeous.
32:44I'm so excited.
32:46How's it looking down there?
32:47It looks gorgeous.
32:48Yeah.
32:49Yeah, you're going to love it.
32:50Yo, the shuttle's here with the grooms.
32:53Yo, right behind that barn and find a spot, brother.
32:56Here we go.
32:57Welcome, guys.
32:58Welcome, welcome.
32:59Justin?
33:00Tom.
33:01Tom.
33:01I'm here to give you guys whatever you need.
33:03You guys want beers?
33:04You guys want...
33:05I'll probably...
33:06Yeah?
33:06A couple handfuls?
33:07How many guys you got?
33:07Uh, I got six guys.
33:09Jake?
33:10Jake?
33:10Evan?
33:11Evan?
33:11Yeah.
33:12You guys can start going down to the ceremony.
33:13Everybody grab a spot.
33:14Hey!
33:15Hey!
33:15Hey!
33:20The pressure of a wedding is overwhelming to me.
33:23I care so much about the experience for the bride and the groom, but so much can go wrong
33:27at any wedding, whether it's the weather, the staff behaving properly.
33:31You know, you really have to hope for the best, but in my brain, it's always like, oh,
33:35shit, what can go wrong?
33:36Seven-ish minutes, I'm going to get to fire in your car, and I'll go down.
33:39Seven.
33:40Wow.
33:40Okay.
33:45Hi, guys.
33:46Welcome.
33:49Are you officiating?
33:51I'm Ellie.
33:52And I always laugh because I've been divorced for 35 years.
33:55I've said some very derogatory things about what marriage...
34:00Let me know if you need anything.
34:01How immediate family...
34:03Immediate family is going to be the first row.
34:06Am I considered that?
34:07That's a great question.
34:10Oh, my God, Matt.
34:14Don't cry.
34:15Don't cry.
34:34Sophia Lily Cole and Justin Ben-Obercon
34:37and their families extend a warm welcome to all of you.
34:43You fell in love by chance, but you're here today because you're making a choice.
34:47You've chosen to be with someone who enhances you and makes every day brighter.
34:53You, Justin, take Sophia to be your wife, partner in life, and one true love.
34:58I do.
35:00Do you, Sophia, take Justin to be your husband, partner in life, and one true love?
35:07I do.
35:09By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
35:13You may now kiss the bride.
35:14Building this new ceremony spot was a little bit of a nightmare for me,
35:28but it is exactly what Sophia hoped it would be.
35:31I'm going to go move that forward.
35:32Once the ceremony's over and they go back to cocktail hour, in my brain, I'm done.
35:37Other people like Victoria and Leighton kind of take over other important jobs.
35:42I'm just there to chill.
35:43Matt, you truly captured everything.
35:46Like, you brought us to the middle of the woods, and we set enchanted forest.
35:49I was so nervous.
35:50I was so nervous.
35:51And we put our trust in you, but you delivered.
35:53I'm relieved that this week is over.
35:55I think it ended up looking really beautiful and really enchanted.
35:59So long as you guys are happy, I'm happy.
36:01Heck yeah.
36:02What are you drinking, beautiful?
36:05Lavender Collins, or...
36:06Sounds good.
36:07Vodka or gin on that?
36:09Vodka?
36:12Lavender Collins for you.
36:13Of course.
36:20This feels so good.
36:25Hard part's done.
36:26We killed it again.
36:27We always do.
36:27This was different.
36:28This was a bigger challenge than a typical wedding.
36:31R.I.P. Josh.
36:32Thank you, my boy.
36:33R.I.P.
36:34I bet he's sleeping right now.
36:35It's his own fault for not getting his own help to get it done in the time frame that
36:38he said he was going to do it.
36:39He tried to do it alone and couldn't.
36:41I probably will not be sticking here longer than once they come in for dancing.
36:45Okay.
36:46I want to go down because I know she has a dress change.
36:48All right.
36:50Here we go.
36:52Here we go.
36:53You ready?
36:54Oh, oh, oh.
36:55It's looking lit.
36:57All right.
36:57And just let go.
36:58Three, two.
37:00Woo!
37:02The calendar is full, but there's no choice but to keep up with it.
37:05It feels like it's just getting crazier and crazier every month.
37:08And Mrs. Overguy.
37:10I hope that by the end of the season, we continue building beautiful cabins, focus on guest experience,
37:16and turn June Farms into the top event space in the Hudson Valley.
37:20It's not just my money and my reputation on the line, but it's also my friends and people
37:24who work at the farm that have put their whole lives into it.
37:28We need to make it a success together.
37:30You know, everybody that's at the wedding, I want to be happy, especially the bride and
37:34groom.
37:34At the end of the day, if they say thank you, that was the best wedding we could have asked
37:38for, that's all I want to hear.
37:41Well, what is all this?
37:43Congratulations.
37:43Hi, I'm Justin.
37:44I want to give a shout out to you guys.
37:46You guys are the first stars.
37:47Thank you guys so much.
37:48Like, this would not have happened without you.
37:50You guys were amazing.
37:50This season on June Farms, I'd like to talk about the weddings that we have coming up.
38:01They want something carnival themed.
38:03She's arriving on a horse.
38:04The calendar is packed.
38:06You're a bar titan, right?
38:07Yes.
38:07Perfect.
38:07Just want it to go so smoothly.
38:09What could go wrong?
38:11Why is everyone dressed like German children?
38:14Here, we can even, like, customize it for you.
38:16Oh, honey.
38:17Her dress isn't even on yet.
38:19Are there any barbacks I can borrow because the front patio is flooding?
38:23Center pieces are falling and breaking.
38:25What is happening right now?
38:27That's her veil.
38:28Oh my God, I was just about to throw it out.
38:30I'm upset that you're basically doing my event job.
38:33If anyone can hear me, do you know where Leighton is?
38:35She's out there running around, like, doing my job.
38:38Really, I'm asking that you guys try to keep, like, personal stuff outside of work.
38:43You won.
38:43Best view in the house.
38:46He's obviously really, really good looking.
38:48Cute.
38:49Josh is a sweetheart.
38:50So happy.
38:51I love that.
38:52Mm-hmm.
38:52We've been hanging out and sleeping together for months now.
38:55He can do this to me, and he can do it to anyone.
38:58I like happy Ali.
38:59Smiley Ali.
39:00My name's not Ali.
39:02Dating here seems like it can be tricky.
39:04Hey, guys, hurry the fuck up for real.
39:06It's like, I get that she's cute, but, like, we're setting up a wedding.
39:09We're gonna let those guys do their job tonight.
39:10You don't need to be around them.
39:11Just get away from these girls.
39:12Like, they're working.
39:13I'm not just Layton's girlfriend.
39:15It's okay.
39:16June Farms!
39:18Now I invite you to steal your marriage with a kiss.
39:28It's just important to me that when they look back at this wedding at June Farms, that it is exactly what they wanted.
39:32Every single time.
39:34How beautiful is that, my friend?
39:36How beautiful is that?
39:59We'll see you next time.
