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!

RMV was the most insanely perfect setting with the most warm, kind, comforting staff possible. From the time we booked the tour to the day of the wedding, the RMV staff was absolutely incredible. Amy was so responsive to all of our questions and requests through out the entire process, and seemed so genuinely happy to help. Every time we stepped in the venue, for food tasting, for the tour, to ask questions and for the day of, every single person made sure we knew they would take care of us. We were told multiple times to kick back and relax, they had us. And they stuck to their word. Everything operated seamlessly. The food was incredible, so many people told us it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. The venue itself is visually spectacular. You feel like you are in a little slice of heaven. There is no need to go crazy with decor or flowers because the raw space is exquisite. We had around 270 people, with a large band, and everyone was partying with the perfect amount of space on the dance floor. Melissa and Liz coordinated the day of, and were such a calming presence when nerves were high. They are fantastic at their jobs. I wish I could live this day over and over again, and I would have it at RMV 10/10 times. If you have the opportunity to get married here, make the right decision and sign that contract!

We really had the most amazing wedding. They have so many little details that set the venue apart- our guests complimented us on so many little touches that are just things RMV does for every wedding like string lights in the reception area.

The food is amazing, drinks are strong, staff is helpful/ friendly/ professional.

I cant say enough about this venue!

The moment you arrive at the Red Maple Vineyard you slow down. Maybe it’s the hills rolling toward the Hudson River, or the scent of grapes and earth, or that quiet hum the vineyard seems to carry. Whatever it is, the moment you step onto the property, you feel it — that mix of calm and anticipation that only special wedding venues hold.

Nicole Puckette Photography and I photographed a wedding there recently, and the day still lingers. Red Maple Vineyard sits tucked in the heart of the Hudson Valley, surrounded by vines, tall grass, and the kind of light that photographers dream about. The setting feels like a living painting — soft colors, open air, and laughter drifting through West Park.

Later, as guests began to arrive, music floated down from the hill and the entire space came alive. Red Maple has this rare gift — it manages to feel both grand and intimate at once.

Nicoles stye and mine reminds me how much photography depends on connection. She moves quietly, gently, finding the smallest, truest moments — a hand on a shoulder, a laugh that catches halfway through a breath. At Red Maple, our approach fit perfectly. Every corner of the place invites authenticity; there’s no need to manufacture beauty when it’s already there.

By sunset, the vineyard glowed. The vines caught the last of the day’s light, and the valley filled with music, love and laughter. Guests danced under the string lights, and for a while, the world felt perfectly still. The staff at Red Maple Vineyard created an experience that felt deeply personal. Every plate looked like it had been designed with care: farm-fresh ingredients, local wines that tasted of the season, and service that moved quietly, gracefully, without ever rushing the moment. The staff felt like part of the celebration — attentive, kind, and genuinely happy to be there.

When it was time to pack up my gear, I took one last look from the road below — the lights flickering like fireflies, the sky fading to blue, the river somewhere just beyond the trees. There are venues that host weddings, and there are venues that hold them. Red Maple Vineyard does the latter. It doesn’t just give you a place to celebrate; it gives the day a soul. I have more than 15 years' experience photographing weddings and I definitely recommend them, 100%!

We cannot say enough good things about Red Maple Vineyard. From the moment we first visited, we fell in love with the stunning property—and it absolutely delivered on every expectation for our wedding day.

Everything served was farm-to-table, and the homemade wine and beer were a special touch that everyone loved. The quality, freshness, and flavor of the food and drinks were unmatched.

The team at Red Maple was professional, warm, and incredibly accommodating of our preferences throughout the planning process and the day itself. They made us feel supported every step of the way.

It’s rare to find a venue that’s this beautiful, this thoughtful in its offerings, and this well-run. We feel lucky to have been married at Red Maple Vineyard—it was everything we hoped for and more.

It's difficult to put into words how incredible our experience at Red Maple was. Just like any bride, I was so stressed about all the details leading up to our big day, but when I say every single member of the staff at RMV went above and beyond to make the day perfect, I mean EVERY SINGLE PERSON - from the owner Gary to our amazing coordinator Melissa to all of the bartenders and servers. The food was unreal, the drinks were delicious, the scenery was absolutely magical. But truly the most impressive part was how smooth everything went from the moment we got there in the morning. I literally did not have an opportunity to be stressed because the coordination was so incredible! If you're looking at RMV for your wedding do NOT hesitate

We are so glad we had our wedding at Red Maple.  The grounds and the barn/pavilion are gorgeous, and of all the places we visited while looking for a venue, Red Maple had the best rain backup for the ceremony. The food is also fantastic, and we have some picky family members who all really loved it.  Working with the team here was great.  They have things down to a science which takes off a lot of the pressure of planning the logistics of the day, but they are also flexible if it’s important to you to do things differently from what they recommend.  Everyone was also so nice and fun day-of, and they did such a great job that to us and our guests the day felt totally seamless.

Red Maple Vineyard is the best decision my husband and I could have made for our wedding venue! Before visiting, the pictures looked promising in terms of the aesthetic we were looking for, and when we arrived at the property we immediately fell in love with it. Not only are the grounds stunning and the food delicious, but the staff clearly knows what they are doing and they made our day perfect in every way. We got lucky with beautiful weather so we were able to really use the entire venue to the full extent possible, and we have been getting nonstop compliments on how beautiful our day was. I also want to mention that their new cellar restaurant & bar across the street is also fabulous and we look forward to spending future anniversaries there. Thank you RMV for making our wedding the best day of our lives!!!!!

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!!
