I wish I had enough words in my vocabulary to describe the feeling I was left with by the end of our wedding, but the truth is that we’re still riding that wave of emotion, and we’re still feeling all of the love from what was hands down the best day of our lives. There will never be enough words.

Mike and I got engaged Labor Day Weekend 2020, and we were venue shopping within the next two weeks because of the heavy competition to book a wedding two years out in the thick of COVID. As a couple who spends as much time in the great outdoors as we do in our Brooklyn neighborhood, we were seeking the perfect balance in a venue.

For a time, it didn’t seem possible to find the aesthetic we were hoping for while also being able to fit 200+ guests. A few weeks later my Mom found Red Maple Vineyard, and we were booked for a visit.
We all knew immediately that this was the venue for us.
The only venue that we physically saw was RMV, and we sent the team an email two hours later confirming that we wanted to spend this important day at RMV with their magnificent team.

Rustic, warm, and beautiful. We were lucky enough to utilize all of the grounds because of the gorgeous weather, but I knew that there was a glorious semi-outdoor space that we could rely on for the ceremony if need be.

Our guests all come from different backgrounds, different walks of life, and some actually flew in from different countries, but all of them felt right at home in this warm and welcoming space.

I could rave forever about what RMV has done for my family, but I’ll bring it back to what it meant working with this team as one of the people who got married there.
There was never a point that I regretted booking my wedding at RMV.
The communication was consistent throughout the two year planning period, and all questions were answered in a flash.

The entire staff was absolutely incredible to work with!
I wish I could name each and every person who contributed to making the day as special as it was. As I said earlier, we had a variety of guests who attended from all different walks of life, but everyone came up to us and continued to call us later on wondering how we found RMV. The feeling was unanimous; all guests named our party as the best wedding they’d ever seen.
The food was amazing all night long, and they catered to every dietary restriction you can imagine (including the wedding cake).

Some special shoutouts:
Amy was our family’s right arm for two full years.
She’s a dream come true to work with,

It was really amazing getting to sit down with Gary during our tasting.
He was incredibly helpful and transparent about how the timing should work throughout the day.

Special shout out to our day of coordinator Bailey who was our oxygen that day.
She made us feel like family the minute we met her, and she took amazing care of us all week leading up to the wedding.
She held everything together when one of our vendors showed up about one hour late which threw off the timing for the rest of the day.
There was a point where my hair piece was half out of my head during the reception and I needed help getting it out and un-tangled from my hair, and then I had to figure out how to re-do my hair.
I told Bailey and within five minutes, she was back with Jen.
Thank you Jen for fixing my bridal hair in a flash! You’re a lifesaver.
My husband also left something valuable at the venue and Bailey found that item for us while she was gearing up for the next wedding that day.

Finally, my bridal attendant was incredibly sweet and helpful throughout the entire evening.

Thank you Red Maple Vineyard for making our dreams come true.
We can’t wait to visit again soon!

Red Maple Vineyard was an absolute DREAM. Simply put: the grounds/pavilion are stunning, the staff are incredible, and the food is the best food you’ll ever have at a wedding (food was very high on our priority list!) I could write an entire essay about what an incredible time we had both planning our wedding and during the big day. From the moment we toured with Gary, we knew we wanted to get married there. Their staff were so communicative, and helped us plan some untraditional things like our own chuppah and a Pittsburgh cookie table (thank you Amy!!) Planning was a breeze, they really try to make everything so easy for you. The actual day was so stress free. Michelle made sure everything ran on time, and people got where they needed to go. So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever went to, and we have to agree - unbiased, of course  We were (and still are) over the moon with how everything turned out – even better than we had hoped for. I really can’t properly convey how much we love RMV. Thank you all so much!!

I knew I wanted a vineyard wedding but did not know much else. I toured several locations and none of them had everything I was looking for - enter Red Maple Vineyard. Not only are the grounds something out of a story book (the photos DO NOT do this place justice) but it was clear that Gary and the entire staff knew how to throw a flawless event. Throughout the planning process they always answered our questions within 24-48 hours, no matter how many we asked. They were communicative and incredibly knowledgeable about the entire process and the event itself. On the actual day of the wedding it was a 65% chance of rain and I was set on a combination indoor/outdoor wedding. Rather than requiring me to chose, without even asking me, Red Maple set up for both options. My bridesmaids watched as the staff moved the massive beer canoe and outdoor pizza oven (for the cocktail hour) outdoors, then back indoors, then back outdoors at least 4 times without ever mentioning it. I wanted a first look photo on their wooden swing hanging from their stunning tree on the side of their property but it was too wet according to the photographer. Within minutes Gary was outside cleaning it himself and placing a perfectly folded linen cloth so I wouldnt ruin my dress by sitting. I could think of countless more examples of how truly incredible their service and venue was but honestly I think everyone should just stop reading and immediately call them to see for themselves. As a bride I had so many expectations for what the perfect day would look like and Red Maple not only made sure my expectations were meant, but gave me a day I never could have even imagined. Thank you to Red Maple for making myself and my groom feel truly special and for giving us an incredible day. From the venue itself, to the attention to detail, to honestly the best wedding food I have had, I cannot imagine a better place to have your wedding!
