The perfect wedding!

Acquaviva was amazing! Our wedding was perfect! Food was fantastic! Fireworks were unbelievable! Kara helped us so much organizing from beginning to end and we didn’t even need a wedding planner. I’m very glad we chose Acquaviva as our venue! We highly recommend it!

Wedding of our Dreams

Acquaviva was quite literally the most magical place to have our wedding. They were the first venue we saw and from the moment we walked in we knew that nothing would top it. The staff were all extremely kind and welcoming to us throughout our planning process and truly helped our dreams become reality. The day of our wedding was everything we could’ve asked for and more, from the food to the wine and to the impeccable service at the bridal house and bartenders, we were extremely well taken care of. All of our guests raved about what a beautiful wedding it was and we agree- couldn’t highly recommend Acquaviva more to any couple wishing for a piece of Italy on the wedding day!

Amazing venue

The was absolutely beautiful, with plenty of space for dancing. The food and wine were delicious. The staff was very attentive when it came to assisting our guests. And the coordinator solved any problem big or small within minutes while checking in with us consistently to make sure the bride and groom were able to focus purely on enjoying our day. Also communications throughout the entire planning process were consistent and helpful.

Amazing Venue, Amazing Food, and Amazing People!

We had our reception at Acquaviva Winery and loved the process of working with them from start to finish. Very accommodating, flexible, and communicative. They genuinely cared and wanted our wedding day to be the best it could be. Everyone was so kind and even the guests at the wedding remarked on this. The food was AMAZING and guests could not stop talking about the dinner and the late night pizza. The winery/restaurant itself is stunning and look great on camera. Would highly recommend! 5 out of 5!

Our first and only venue we looked at!

“The food was amazing!” “The venue was so pretty.” We didn’t stop hearing this from all of our guests.
Beata did such an amazing job from the first tour all the way til the wedding night. She helped us step by step with the process and even gave suggestions!
The service that comes from every person that works there is above and beyond. Our entire reception was served dinner in 11 mins! (Record!) They pay attention to details and have many people working and watching to help make your day go by without a hitch!
The vines are gorgeous in August! I couldn’t be happier that we chose this venue.
