Nassau Valley Vineyards is a beautiful place for a wedding. The bacchus grove was beautiful for our ceremony and we used claret hall for our reception. The hall is a complete blank slate which was perfect to be able to make the hall our own style. Peggy and Jessica were so amazing to work with and truly know the business well. E-mails and phone calls were always responded to in a quick manner. The wine is AMAZING - we did a tasting and picked out 5 different ones for our reception. We received so many compliments on the wine, and how beautiful of a wedding we had. Peggy or Jessica made sure we had all the vendors we needed for our day and if we didn't they always had a list of people they would recommend. One of them was with us for our rehearsal and the entire wedding day as well, and were there to help us clean up at the end. The venue is so beautiful and Peggy is great to work with. I highly recommend a vineyard wedding here!

My husband and I were just married at the Nassau Valley Vineyards this month. What an incredible experience! From beginning to end, Peggy and her staff were professional, organized and bend over backwards to help make our day as perfect as possible. They assisted with rentals and other vendor relationships, she was onsite the day of to make sure everything went smoothly, and the winery was the perfect venue for our group. The wine that is made here is also superb and we received a thousand compliments on our choices (many of which we made with Peggy's help!). We couldn't have asked for a more personalized experience. Thank you very much to Peggy again!!! We couldn't be happier.

The vineyards were absolutely wonderful to work with! We had the ceremony and reception at the vineyard and our guests really enjoyed the atmosphere there because it's so romantic. The vineyard is absolutely beautiful and we felt like it didn't need much decoration which saved me some stress with all the wedding planning.

The wine at the vineyard is amazing and our guests were raving about it all night. Jessica gave us the idea for a wine tasting during cocktail hour and our guests LOVED that they could try multiple wines from the vineyard.

I cannot thank Jessica enough for making our day perfect. She went above and beyond for us on our wedding day and throughout the planning process. She answered all of my questions as they popped up and made planning a wedding so much fun. She even emailed me suggestions for a florist when I stopped by one day to buy wine and told her I was getting overwhelmed with planning and couldn't find a florist I liked (which I ended up picking one of her suggestions and our flowers were beautiful). If you're looking for the perfect spot to get married, Nassau Valley Vineyards is it.

As soon as we decided on getting married in DE we knew we wanted a beach ceremony. Nassau Valley Vineyards was the perfect compliment! It was a charming and beautiful place to have our reception--the sunset made for incredible lighting throughout the whole vineyard! As the night progressed, the string lighting in the grove carried on the romantic vibe.

Peggy and Jessica were so great to work with. We planned our wedding from California and were very confident in them! Our wedding was perfect.

Thanks so much!

Loved this venue! We had a December wedding and we couldn't have found a better setting. We loved the rustic feel of the vineyard, and it was the perfect setting for our ceremony and elegant dinner reception. Peggy was terrific! She gave our florist creative freedom to create the vibe we wanted with lighting, setting up, and wall coverings. An added bonus of working with Peggy at Nassau is her great expertise with wine. The selection of wines offered by Nassau was the perfect compliment to all of our menu selections. We had a great experience! Highly recommend Peggy and Nassau Valley Vineyard!

Nassau truly helped make our wedding everything we wanted it to be. The staff was so wonderful and patient with our needs, especially since we were planning from over an hour away. They also gave us great recommendations for other vendors as well.

Thank you Nassau for making our day beautiful!

Peggy and her staff at the Nassau Valley Vineyard gave us a truly incredible setting for our wedding. We loved every minute of it and so did our guests. They loved the Vineyard and all of its charm. We couldn't be more grateful and we are soooo happy we chose to have our reception there. We HIGHLY recommend it to anyone looking for a reception site, or ceremony site off the beaten path. :) LOVED IT!
