Priam Vineyards

We were at first drawn to Priam because of its organic wines and sustainable philosophy. We stayed because of the endlessly supportive team, the flexibility of the space, and the beauty of the venue. Kristine Herrold, the site’s wedding coordinator, goes way out of her way to ensure a good experience. She even arranged a bond fire for us for a private ceremony the night before our wedding!!! The only downside is that it is a “blank canvas” that required some design (especially the ceremony space). It is also a working vineyard so access can be an issue at times. All of these issues were resolved. We had the most beautiful wedding!!! Everyone had a great time!!! Especially us!!!! Oh and the wines are amazing. We’ll be back!!!

Priam was amazing! This venue was exactly what we were looking for and more. Everyone had so much fun and we got so many compliments on our big day all thanks to Priam.. very professional and easy to work with
Not to mention THE WINE IS AMAZING!!

We had our wedding at Priam in September of 2021, and it was everything we had wanted it to be and more. We picked Priam in February of 2019, after looking at quite a few outdoor vineyard and barn type venues throughout Connecticut. It was an easy decision, because aside from the incredible views and location, their ability, in partnership with their catering partners (Gourmet Galley in our case), to take care of all of the little things and make it a smooth, easy day was unparalleled. I was not someone who wanted to worry about bathrooms, linens, chairs, or cocktail napkins, and I didn’t have to, and the ‘standard’ options were beautiful and perfect. The other marvelous thing was how incredibly customizable our day was going to be – if I wanted anything specific, from décor, chairs, settings, schedule, etc., we could do it. The guidance our coordinator gave us was if it was legal and wouldn’t hurt the vines, it was doable!

Even through the uncertainty that 2020 and 2021 brought to event planning, the staff and coordination team was wonderful to work with, answering all our questions, providing solutions, and pointing us in the direction of some great vendors to work with. They helped us create a special and unique day that truly felt like ‘us,’ not a cookie-cutter wedding from a template. Through our rehearsal and event, the staff was friendly, helpful, and went out of their way to make it feel like a special day, between golf cart rides around the property for the perfect picture, to organizing our décor and firepit, to generally being supportive and calming.

Our day went off without a hitch, and I got nothing but compliments from our guests as to how perfect the location and venue were. It embodies quintessential New England fall beauty, and it was wonderful to let our décor be subtle and subdued to let the setting shine. Our pictures have turned out amazingly so far, and I can’t recommend the firepit and s’mores option enough. Our guests young and old loved the chance to step away from the dancing and loud music and enjoy a beautiful fall night and nice conversation.

I can’t imagine our day having taken place anywhere else, and would recommend Priam, Amylu, Gloria, and the whole team to anyone looking for a classic, picturesque setting for their special day!

This review is LONG overdue. We got married at Priam Vineyards in October 2018, and we could not have been happier with our choice to get married here! The venue is absolutely gorgeous! We got married in front of the vines, and just beyond that you see the rolling hills filled with the colors of fall foliage! Everything from the wedding contract, to the menu tasting provided by Gourmet Galley, to the rehearsal, to the day of the wedding was smooth and seamless. Gloria, Jim, and their entire staff work so hard to make your day everything you hope and dream it will be. The service and attention they provided was light years beyond what we expected! We have and will continue to recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful vineyard wedding.

Our wedding day was nothing less than perfect, even on a rainy chilly day. I would recommend this venue to any couple. It was beautiful. And the wine is the best!! The catering company that Priam uses is awesome! I did not hear one complaint about ANY of the food. Gina from Gourmet Galley was amazing.

Thank you Jim and everyone at Priam Vineyards for making our 1st wedding anniversary so special.

I so appreciate you making something that SHOULD have been so stressful, so enjoyable and easy to plan and execute. I love your staff Jim and your red wines are the best on earth.

When my husband and I first got engaged, we knew that Priam Vineyards was where we wanted to get married. We had been to other vineyards, but none compared to Priam. The wines are fantastic and the setting is beyond breathtaking. The staff were so accommodating, helpful, easy going and kind. We were blown away with Gourmet Galley's amazing food, presentation and professionalism. Gina is an amazing, flexible coordinator who went above and beyond for our day. She made sure on our wedding day everything was absolutely perfect, even the sangria, made especially for our day. Gloria is such a pleasure to work with and we were always well taken care of. She made sure everything was flawless and beautiful. Our family and friends are still raving about the vineyard, the beauty of it, the delicious food, and outstanding staff/service. Priam became part of our family. We cannot thank you enough for such a memorable wedding. Our pictures cannot show enough the amount of love and happiness that was expressed that day. Thank you Priam for everything and making us feel like family. I would highly recommend this vineyard.

Thank you Priam Vineyards and your wonderful staff for making my day so memorable! The tasting room felt cozy yet sophisticated! The wine selection was rich and spectacular! I especially liked the Westchester Red and the Blackledge Rose! Bringing home a case for the holidays. I will be back and I will recommend Priam to all my friends.

Alex & I had our wedding Saturday August 19, 2017 at Priam Vineyards and it was nothing short of amazing! We were absolutely blown away by the amazing services provided by the staff. The vineyard is beautiful and their wines are so delicious. We were very well taken care of. Gloria and Jim of Priam Vineyards, and Gina of Gourmet Galley, were super helpful, a pleasure to work with, and are just overall incredible people. Thanks again!

Our wedding was more than I was hoping for! While Priam was a little off the beaten path for our out of state guests, it made for the perfect New England setting that i could not pass up and it definitely paid off! The grounds were beautiful and the tent turned into everything in my dreams! Gloria was there to congratulate us which was so nice! We were so grateful to use her vineyard for our special day! Our guests raved about the grounds, the view, the fire pit and most importantly THE WINE! I've never seen people take so many photos of their surroundings at a wedding than they did at ours! If you want a beautiful vineyard wedding, check out Priam! Could not have been better! Thank you Priam! We'll be coming back regularly to reminisce!
