Nathan Sent on 05/23/2022The best decision we made for our day!!
If I could give more stars I would! Every single thing about our wedding at JVW was incredible. From the range of services offered, the quality of those services and just the amount of work the entire staff including the owners put in to make your day special is remarkable. Other services they offer that we went with was
- In house caterer
- Weekend package with Wilson House accomadations
- In House Bar
- Plated/ butlered meals
- Grazing table for cocktail hour
- And most importantly the wedding coordination package with Molly!
Molly literally made our day 1000 times better and if you have a wedding here and don't hire her than you're doing yourself a disservice!! I would have payed double for her services, weddings can be stressful enough with the planning and execution and she does it with ease. Her attention to detail and organization made the life of every other of our 8 vendors lives easier and all of them mentioned that she made their jobs so much easier and their duties clear. I can't say enough great things about her.... Thank you Molly
Our grazing table was a huge hit and added such a nice elegance to our cocktail hour.
As I mentioned before, from the owner, the servers, bartenders, Wilson House staff and tasting room staff were all amazing. So very nice and helpful to our wedding party and guests.
You get what you pay for, and Juniata Valley Winery is a true example of that. I wouldn't change a single thing about our experience and we're so thankful to all included!!! -

Everything about Juniata Valley Winery was perfect. From the gorgeous landscaping and grounds, to the beautiful historic Manor, our day was incredible. Molly was extremely helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process and very accommodating. Our guests could not stop raving about how beautiful everything was. The value of the property was very reasonable and we had the luxury of renting out The Manor for the entire weekend to share with our wedding party, which was so special in itself. If you are looking for a great indoor-outdoor mix, this is the place to go with! -

Amazing wedding venue! Truly cannot say enough about our wedding weekend at Aisling Hall. Everything was wonderful - our stay in the Wilson House B&B, Friday Night Music, the service from Molly and Taylor and staff, our ceremony and reception! We had a pop-up thunderstorm immediately after the ceremony and Taylor brought wine slushies and a sample platter of our cocktail hour appetizers to my husband and I who were caught in the Wilson House. Many beautiful sites for photos on the property. The food was amazing, including our rehearsal dinner and brunch in the B&B. My favorite part of the wedding weekend was the moment we were finally able to open the garage doors of Aisling Hall towards the end of the reception! The doors had really sold me on Aisling Hall, but we had them closed for dinner because of the storms and the heat/humidity. The moment that we opened the doors was magical - it revealed this stunningly gorgeous sunset. Our wedding weekend was truly everything I hoped for! -

Maggie Sent on 10/26/2024Perfect Venue for our October Wedding
JVW was the perfect venue for our wedding weekend. We rented Aisling Hall and the Wilson BnB for the weekend, and it was so nice to drop off decor on Friday and have a place for all of my bridesmaids to stay over the night before. I had a large bridal party (13 girls) and we had plenty of space to sleep and get ready! The continental breakfast was also delicious, and the boxed lunches were the perfect mid-day snack to get us all through until after the ceremony. Molly was so helpful during the planning process, from answering all of our questions to accommodating multiple venue visits and coordinating with our vendors. We truly could not have asked for a more perfect day. We also used JVW Catering and guests are still talking about how good the food was! 10/10 recommend for a wedding that is the perfect mix of rustic and elegant! -

Julie Sent on 10/17/2024A magical weekend
One of the most special moments in life is your child’s wedding. Molly (and her team at Juniata Valley Winery) made sure the weekend was everything our daughter and her fiancé had envisioned – every little detail! She was professional and accommodating through the twists and turns as we planned our first wedding in the family, and you could tell she loves her job! The venue is beautiful, and as evening fell and the lights glowed inside and out, the scene was magical. We knew from the start we were in experienced hands with Molly. The Wilson House was perfect for our large and fun wedding party. We had breakfast and lunch, which was convenient and delicious, and space to spread out and get ready. Thank you so much Molly and team for making this wedding amazing and joyful for the bride and groom, our family and guests.

A breathtaking Venue with the kindest staff
We had our wedding at the beautiful Aisling Hall at JVW on 10/12/24 and it was the most perfect day of our lives. I truly owe it all to the kind-hearted venue staff who have went above and beyond to welcome us and make us feel like family during our time there. From the personal touches left for us at the Wilson House B&B to the out-of-this-world food at our reception. They truly hit every single one of our expectations and then some and I cannot thank them enough. Molly, James, and everyone at JVW; you are all amazing people and we are so glad we got to spend our wedding weekend with each and every one of you.
If anyone is looking for a place for their dream wedding, look no further than this gem of a place. -

It's really hard to find a singular highlight for the experience because the entire thing was beyond our expectations. I think the best part was honestly how easy planning a wedding with Juniata was. Everyone makes wedding planning sound so stressful and Molly and her staff were able to assist with every detail including the day of. As a bride who did most of her planning from out of state Molly was on top of every detail including assisting in finding local vendors. She was very responsive to all emails and answered all of the many questions I had. Juniata was where I had wanted my future wedding for years and I'm glad it lived up to my expectations! It's definitely a hidden gem when it comes to wedding venues!

The Juniata Valley Winery staff made our wedding experience a dream. Molly was willing to answer all of our questions & Marissa, the event manager made sure everything ran smoothly during the reception. The Aisling Hall venue along with the landscaping made for some beautiful wedding pictures. The 2 houses on the property were perfect for guests and the bridal party to stay after the wedding. Could not recommend the Juniata Valley Winery more! We had so many compliments on the venue! -

Jacki Sent on 07/08/2024Fantastic Experience
I wanted to thank you for the FANTASTIC experience we had at the winery for my daughter Emilie’s wedding. We want you to know that we appreciate how you and your staff went above and beyond to make this an almost flawless experience. You and your staff anticipated things before we knew we needed them. When it started to rain, someone came around looking for Jaron and Emilie to keep them dry and safe, and you brought them plates of food so they didn’t even have to wait in line.
Everyone we interacted with was pleasant and kind and never made us feel rushed or a bother. James, our event manager, was great! He had a fun sense of humor and was constantly around if we needed him.
Even the clean-up crew was lovely. I had to take bags to my daughter at 11:30 at night because she had neglected to move them earlier and someone amid cleaning asked if I needed help with them.
All these things show how you all pay attention to detail with a smile. You made everything worth it and we want you to know we NOTICED! We will certainly recommend Juanita Valley Winery as a wedding venue to anyone who asks!

Perfect Venue
The venue is gorgeous. Very elegant. Molly is so kind and professional and responsive. The entire staff was wonderful. Very little decoration needed. We had all the catering on site which was a huge help too. Getting the manor for the entire weekend allowed our wedding party to relax and have fun together. -

Kristen Sent on 05/29/2024Best day ever!
Having our wedding here on May 18th, 2024 was such a highlight of our lives! From the beautiful scenery, to the friendly staff, to the delicious food, and everything in between. Despite having to adjust for rain, the venue was just so amazing and unforgettable.
Our families were treated like VIPs the entire weekend, from the moment we stepped on the property. Molly & James were so kind, amazing, and accommodating. I was confident that anything we needed would be taken care of.
We got so many compliments from our guests about the food, service, and scenery. Truly, everything was just PERFECT!
Thank you JVW for the best weekend ever! We are so grateful to everyone who made our wedding day happen.

The perfect venue for the perfect day!
Majestic!!! From the moment we toured this venue, we knew instantly this was the place to host our daughter’s wedding. So many options to choose from for the rehearsal, ceremony, and reception. Each one equally beautiful as the other. To top it off, the rooms for overnight stays were breathtaking in their own right.
Molly was so knowledgeable and had many great ideas to make our experience the best.
The big day became a big weekend because of this location, and we could not have envisioned a better choice! Even with some rain, we knew moving the ceremony inside was in no way a step back from our expectations. It was perfect all around. The grounds were beautifully landscaped and blooming with spring flowers. Our guests were wowed by the sight as much as we were.
Service was excellent! The whole team was gracious and attended to all of our needs. James, Molly and the entire crew made us feel like royalty. Molly served our bride and groom at reception and ensured I had a glass of champagne too. So sweet!
Breakfast was carefully displayed and you can’t beat French toast casserole. What a treat! All the meals were fantastic and we’ve had so many wonderful comments from our guests about dinner.
Treat yourself to this magical place for your big day. Top to bottom, a first class experience! -

The Juniata Valley Winery was so incredibly beautiful! We had an option to get married inside since it was raining but we chose to still get married in front of the vineyard which felt intimate and simply perfect regardless of the rain. The staff was helpful, quick to respond, personal, accommodating, positive, genuine, and overall amazing! We chose the in house catering and the food was also fantastic. We are so happy we chose the Juniata Valley Winery and we HIGHLY recommend them. They made our day so easy and enjoyable! -

Juniata Valley Winery is the perfect wedding venue!! My husband and I were on the fence about getting married there because of the distance but I can say that it was definitely worth it!!!! Everything was absolutely perfect for our wedding day. We have had so many compliments from our guests saying how gorgeous the venue was and how amazing the food and wine was! Molly was so helpful and was always so quick to answer any questions I had. All of the staff members there were so kind and really made us feel special.

I don’t know where to start! Having my wedding at Juniata Valley Winery was a dream come true . The venue was gorgeous , the vineyard in August was absolutely beautiful. I had everything I needed from catering to having my family stay at their bed and breakfast. I couldn’t have asked for a better place to have my wedding and the best was having Molly there . Molly was a tremendous help, she made everything go smoothly , even when I didn’t know what to do she always was there to help us make the best decision. I can go on and on but all I Can say is thank you from the bottom of my heart to Molly and the Juniata valley winery team! -

Camille Sent on 07/11/2023Not a single complaint! Exceeded expectations!
I don’t even know where to begin. My whole wedding weekend couldn’t have been more perfect! Every single attention to detail never went unnoticed. Each and every staff member was more than willing to help at any point whether you asked or not. As the bride, you have a lot of different emotions running through your mind the day of and Beth and Molly were constantly checking in on me and asking if they could get me anything from the moment I started getting ready on my wedding day. While taking pictures in very hot weather, staff members were carrying trays of water out to the bridal party. All the food the whole weekend was absolutely delicious and my guests raved about it! Their efficiency and professionalism is truly unmatched. My husband and I live in Tennessee, but we are both from Pennsylvania and it was stressful planning a wedding living in a different state but the moment we arrived at the venue I felt a sense of relief because they had everything under control and ready to go. Seriously cannot recommend Juniata Valley Winery enough. They far exceeded our expectations and beyond and made it the best weekend EVER for my husband and I! -

Rachel Sent on 05/27/2023Book this venue and Molly!!
My husband and I got married here a few weeks ago and The Manor couldn’t have been more perfect. The guests continuously commented on how beautiful the venue was and how good the food tasted! The weekend package was perfect and allowed us to stay on-site after the rehearsal dinner and wedding. However, one of the main reasons we chose this specific venue was because of Molly! We knew after the tour with her that we had to have her coordinate our wedding day as well. She was organized, energetic, helpful and thought of details I never would have remembered. If you take anything from this review it should be HIRE MOLLY!! Our day would have never run as smoothly as it did if we hadn’t had her. She made planning from the other side of the country a breeze for me. You won’t regret booking this place :) -

Tiffany Sent on 12/07/2022Beautiful Venue, Amazing Staff
My husband and I got married at JVW on 11.12.2022 and The Manor was the PERFECT location for our fall wedding! We purchased the weekend package which allowed us to arrive on Friday to start setting up and hold our rehearsal. We also had our rehearsal social on site— it was so convenient and the rehearsal catering was great! We stayed in the bed & breakfast and they offered a nice breakfast spread and a quaint experience overall. The wedding day went so smoothly, they take care of setting up all the tables and chairs for the ceremony and reception which was one less thing we had to worry about. I can’t speak highly enough of Molly, the events director! She was fantastic to work with on planning our big weekend, she answered all of our questions timely, and made sure our vision came to life!!! James was great to work with on our wedding day and was extremely accommodating!! Oh, did I mention their wine and wine slushies are amazing!? Highly recommend having your wedding at The Manor at JVW!! -

Riley Sent on 11/19/2022Everything we ever wanted
We had an amazing wedding day and quite literally wouldn't have changed a thing when it came to using the Manor at Juniata Valley Winery. The accommodations for our overnight guests were so lovely and really helped round out the weekend for our guests, and everything from the facilities to the additional services we used, like catering and tablecloths, were spot on. The real highlight was Molly. She was so attentive with us from the very beginning of the process and took everything we said to heart while helping us problem solve. The day of, you could tell that she was team Bride/Groom. We truly can't put into words how seamless our day was. Even our guests were complimenting us on her and her work! They kept saying it was the most seamless wedding they had ever been to. Juniata Valley Winery will always hold such a special place in our hearts. -

We had an amazing experience at Aisling Hall! With the weekend package, we had plenty of time to set up, and the staff was super kind and accommodating the whole time. Beautiful outdoor ceremony locations, and our guests raved about the natural, elegant atmosphere of Aisling Hall! The venue coordinator Molly helped us to have the weekend of our dreams. Would recommend to any couple in the central PA area. :-) -

Fry Wedding- 09/10/2022
Everything about JVW was beyond perfect for our wedding. The vineyard was such a beautiful spot for our ceremony and the winery has such great spots for the photographer. It was so great having the Wilson House Bed and Breakfast bridal suite to get ready in. The overnight package was perfect for our out-of-town guests to stay in and the breakfast provided in the morning was delicious! Molly, the Director of Weddings and Events, was so easy to work with and stayed in contact throughout our planning process to help make sure everything was in order for us. James, the Venue Manager for the day of our wedding, was fantastic and went above and beyond to help us and make sure we had everything we needed. James made sure we had nothing to stress about so that we could enjoy our special day! All of the staff was so kind and helpful. I would recommend that everyone use JVW for your wedding! -

Jennie Sent on 06/13/2022Picture perfect venue!
Its hard to put into words how amazing and special our wedding day was and so much of that is due to Molly and her team at the Juniata Valley Winery. Every piece of the property is picturesque and provides the perfect backdrop for any ceremony you could dream of. We choose the weekend package which provided the entire Wilson House BnB for our wedding party and us to stay in. All the catering options provided by JVW made it so easy for us to plan the perfect reception. We used their catering for our cocktail hour, dinner, cake, and bar. Everything was executed beyond our expectations and we couldn’t be happier with their service. The best decision we made while planning our wedding was hiring Molly as our wedding coordinator. If any couple is on the fence when it comes to including this service, we highly recommend doing so. Molly worked with us through every step of the planning process. She was always there to answer our questions, communicate with our other vendors, and make sure every part of our day went as smoothly as possible. We can’t wait to go back and visit JVW, have a glass or wine, and reminisce our beautiful wedding day!

We got married mid September and the venue was absolutely perfect. The reception hall is everything we dreamed of and it can be decorated to fit exactly what your vision is. I loved that all of the doors opened up! Lots of options for outside ceremony sites. The bridal suite was spacious and lovely. Super friendly and helpful staff. Pretty affordable also. You definitely get your money’s worth! Would definitely recommend! -

THANK YOU JVW & MOLLY! If you're debating booking here -- DO IT -- your day will be absolutely PERFECT!
Having to postpone our wedding in 2020 brought us to JVW and we could not be more grateful that we wound up here for our wedding this past June. From the moment we found them we were in love with the property, and as we worked through packages and met the staff we only fell more in love with JVW.
We ultimately booked the full weekend package with so many inclusions -- full access to the property Fri-Sunday mornings; the entire B&B Fri-Sun (it housed my entire family and was an incredible place for the bridal party to get ready -- it made great photos too!); all necessary rentals (tables, chairs, linens, china/glassware); 3 ceremony locations and the pavilion (which is indoor OR outdoor based on your preference) for the reception; a coordinator; tickets to their Friday Night Music event; and options for catering, bar packages, and a rehearsal dinner.
The staff was so incredibly kind, accommodating, and flexible. From the very beginning, they addressed all of our COVID-related concerns being a couple that had already postponed once and put us at ease. Even in the months before our wedding, we had some concerns with our original rehearsal dinner location due to the state COVID restrictions and JVW was willing to be on stand-by in case we had to relocate our rehearsal (though fortunately it didn't come to that). They made several adjustments to our weekend package purely out of courtesy, as we had previously contracted vendors (e.g. caterers, rentals, a separate ceremony location). Every time we visited the property in preparation for the big day, we were offered complimentary wine tastings -- and we ultimately worked with the coordinator (Molly) and the JVW team to customize a bar menu for our special day.
The innkeeper of the B&B worked closely with us to address a severe allergy for the included breakfasts; provided us refrigerator access for my sister who had a baby a needed a place to store milk/food; offered the option to add on a lunch for the bridal party the day of the wedding; and allowed us to bring our own snacks/beverages/food as well. We had hired a well-reviewed external coordinator prior to our postponement and even still Molly (the JVW coordinator) was more instrumental in making our day possible and perfect than anyone else. Like the other JVW staff, as a person Molly is kindhearted, caring, and genuine, wanting your wedding dreams to be reality; but as a coordinator she is well-thought-out, proactive, and incredible in absolutely every single way. She worked in close contact with us in person, via video chat, over the phone, email, and text; making herself readily available for frequent walkthroughs and questions even on off-hours at times. On her own she reached out to our caterers and invited them to the property for a walkthrough to ensure they had what they needed. She was our main POC for all of the previously mentioned customizations, fine tuning our details for months leading up to our day. She felt like our cheerleader and we felt comfortable leaving several things to her discretion. Even the day of, Molly was willing to jump in and assist us (and our hired coordinator) with anything we needed. Again, in our opinion, she was the main person who made our day possible, perfect, and run smoothly.
As for the property itself, the B&B is comfortable, clean, and makes for awesome photos! The tables and chairs suited our every need and the chivari chairs really elevated the event space. The grapes were in bloom making the vineyard a beautiful backdrop for our reception, as we elected to open the pavilion doors. The pavilion provided a flexible location though as it could be indoor or outdoor based on preference, and was air conditioned when we needed to close the doors for a period of time for the heat. Our pictures all turned out amazing.
We cannot express our joy and thanks enough. THANK YOU JVW & MOLLY!

Juniata Valley Winery is the perfect place to get married! My wedding was in late September and all of my guests said how beautiful the venue and the scenery was. Planning a wedding during the covid pandemic was stressful, but Pam (the venue coordinator) made it so much easier! She was super organized and quick to respond to emails and phone calls. She bent over backwards to make my wedding day perfect! Pam and George, the owner, work super hard to make each couples wedding day perfect.
I also highly recommend the weekend package! Being able to set up on Friday, have the wedding on Saturday, and tear down on Sunday was great. It allowed my new husband and I to relax and enjoy our wedding day. -

Beautiful Spaces, Ample Onsite Amenities
When we started looking for venues, our goals were to find a place (within our geographic and middling price ranges) that gave us pretty outdoor and indoor options and that offered overnight accommodations, and JVW was definitely the place we looked at that met those requirements the best. All our guests had to travel a bit, and there’s a ton of onsite parking, plus golf cart service included if anyone needs it! In September, Aisling Hall's A/C was great for cooling down right after a hot and sunny outdoor ceremony, but the lifting garage-style doors were also great for when the temperature let up closer to sunset (and made for the most beautiful natural lighting even under the roof, with the filled-in grape vines providing a picture-perfect backdrop behind the hall). Being able to stay in the Wilson House (as well as the very nicely renovated Coop) Friday and Saturday night was a real game changer, too; it was much less stressful to have access to our site for setup in advance. Everything was clean, breakfasts were timely and tasty, and the staff was really nice!
Very grateful to Molly, the wedding venues coordinator for JVW, in particular for her positive energy and professionalism through the entire process. We had a not-insignificant number of truly last-minute no-show guests due to COVID and Molly worked with us to soften the financial blow over our champagne toast and china place setting counts. Coincidentally, a prior event had left extra stock of beers and seltzers, which were then very generously offered to us as bonus choices/options for our cash bar. Also, day of, it just so happened that no one else had booked the Manor for another wedding, and so we were allowed to use the Manor’s pergola as our ceremony site (even though our reception was booked for Aisling Hall). We will always appreciate all this flexibility on their part, as it made us feel like our big day really mattered to them and made everything extra special.
Last note: We used JVW’s in-house catering for the reception. If you’re on a tight budget, it might not be your favorite add-on option, but we did think the cocktail hour snacks were great and the main meal was good! Know that you cannot take leftovers, due to insurance liability reasons. Just be proactive in discussing upcharges and options with Molly; she does a really great job getting you the info you request.
Overall, couldn’t have pictured a better melding of our venue wants and needs than JVW. It was really truly a wonderful weekend. (To whoever ends up reading this for JVW: Thank you again!) -

I got married at Juniata Valley Winery in August 2021. Everything was perfect! The venue was gorgeous. The B&B was the perfect place for our party and families to spend the weekend.
