Amazing venue - the experience was wonderful and easy throughout the planning process and I had zero worries on the day of that everything would go smoothly. Our guests have gushed...
about how great of a wedding it was. The wine/food tasting was so much fun and the food is incredible. The event coordinator is very organized and responsive - she was so helpful and with us every step of the way. We ended up using several of their recommended vendors who were all great to work with as well. Other vendors let us know how great and easy it was to work with this venue and they hope they will return in the future.

I truly can’t say enough great things about Acquaviva. We originally looked into it thinking it would be way out of our budget, and it would make our original top choice venue seem...
more affordable, but the moment we walked in the doors, we knew this was our number one pick. And it ended up being more affordable than the other one. It felt basically like fate.
Kara is phenomenal to work with. Always answers emails in a very timely manner, and was so helpful. I honestly don’t think our wedding day would have been near as perfect as it was or ran as smoothly as it did if anyone else was our coordinator.
The bar tenders and servers were so nice, the food is beyond delicious. Our wedding was two weeks ago, and people are still telling me how much they loved it.
I can keep going, but I’ll stop here. Seriously, make sure you at least give it a tour. You won’t regret it.

ng with breath taking views of the vineyard, access to the guest house for bridal prep and photos, and food and wine that were to die for - but the staff are truly what made my wedding so wonderful! Kara was the event coordinator. She was so organized with meetings, understanding and thoughtful of specific wishes for me and my husband, and she took out so much of the stress from the planning. She kept everything on pace and on schedule, set up the ceremony and reception hall with beauty and grace, and helped me to stay calm by taking so much off of my plate. She communicated with the vendors to ensure for a smooth execution of the ceremony and reception. The bar tenders and wait staff were also incredible. They served me and my friends and family with a smile and sense of humor and kept everyone happy with food and drinks - arguably some guests favorite thing about weddings! Acquaviva provided me with my dream wedding, which me and my husband will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you Acquaviva!

At the end of the day we had a fabulous wedding and kept it within our budget. We also had a lot of guests rave about the quality of service and food.

We unfortunately were one of the weddings hoping to get married in a vineyard but due to a downpour in October we needed to switch to an indoor ceremony. Despite changing this decision to the absolute last minute we could, the whole staff was amazing through it making sure that everyone was on the same page. In addition, the place is just stunning overall, both indoors and outdoors. We also rented the house attached to the property and that was wonderful to have for ourselves and our bridal party. If you want an all-in-one place, I highly recommend this place. We continue to get phone calls from our family and friends about how much they loved the venue because of food, scenery and staff.

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of having our dream wedding at Acquaviva Winery, and we could not be happier with the entire experience. From the moment we set foot on the ...
property, we were enchanted by the venue's beauty and the professionalism of the staff.
The outdoor ceremony in the vineyard was undoubtedly the highlight of our wedding. The lush green vineyard rows created a natural and breathtaking backdrop for our vows, enhancing the romantic atmosphere. The serene sounds of the breeze rustling through the vines made it an unforgettable setting that left a lasting impression on our guests and provided beautiful photographs to cherish.
The venue aesthetics for the reception includes stunning interior design, with its exquisite paintwork and high ceilings. Another remarkable aspect of the reception hall was its spacious layout. We had approximately 200 guests in attendance, and there was more than enough room to comfortably accommodate everyone. The bar area was well-designed and well-stocked, making it a popular spot for our guests to mingle and enjoy their favorite beverages. The dance floor was generously sized, allowing for plenty of space for our guests to dance the night away.
Another highlight would be the food at Acquaviva Winery was nothing short of extraordinary. The menu was diverse and exquisitely prepared, with both hors d'oeuvres and the main course receiving rave reviews from our guests. The wine selection was top-notch, perfectly complementing the meal. The culinary expertise on display was truly remarkable.
And the most special part of the experience was working with Beata and the events team. Throughout the planning process, Beata and the events team at Acquaviva Winery were a joy to work with. Their attention to detail and prompt communication made the planning process smooth and stress-free. Beata was always available to answer our questions, provide guidance, and offer creative suggestions. She truly understood our vision and worked tirelessly to ensure that every aspect of our wedding was executed flawlessly.
In conclusion, Acquaviva Winery is a gem of a wedding venue, offering a delightful combination of delectable cuisine, stunning aesthetics, breathtaking vineyard views, and a dedicated team. Our wedding day was everything we had ever dreamed of, thanks to Acquaviva. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue to celebrate our special day, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone in search of a truly magical wedding experience. Thank you, Acquaviva Winery, for making our wedding day an unforgettable one!

We wanted something different than your traditional banquet or barn wedding. The food is AMAZING. Our guests were infatuated with the food, and the space.

She is very organized, and is great with communication. She will do everything to help you on the day and before the wedding to make sure everything is ready to go. Her kindness and positive energy was everything we needed when meeting with her to discuss all of the details. Overall, our day was majestic and we couldn’t be more in love with our venue choice. We are hoping to come back every year for an anniversary dinner.

We ate dinner at Acquaviva in December of 2021 and after seeing the inside and tasting their amazing food that we just had to choose them for our venue. It’s been a month since we got married there now and our guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed the night. We got married in the vineyard and it was so beautiful. They had a landscaping crew taking care of the land the morning of the wedding and everything looked so perfect for our day. Also added bonus is getting to see where they make the wine and photos in the barrel room turned out so beautiful! 10/10 would recommend Acquaviva to anyone looking for a venue to be married in!

Acquaviva was an easy 5 star for us. They have the most beautiful venue. As a former bride, I know how important/stressful it can be going for an outdoor venue. This venue has a un...
believably beautiful backup plan and allow you to decide as close to last minute as possible. Luckily the weather was perfect but the piece of mind means everything leading up to the big day.
We are still getting raving reviews of their food from our guests weeks after the wedding. The fillet and whitefish are to die for!
They include so much in their initial minimum (open bar, appetizers, wine during dinner, salad, pasta, main dishes, dessert bar) but also have awesome upgrades available! Some that we utilized that I think were so worth it was:
-extended cocktail hour (more time for pictures too!)
-upgraded bar options
-upgraded dessert bar
-wine bar at vineyard ceremony
-champagne toast
-meal choice for guests
-late night pizza
One of the things I love best is that my husband and I can come back to eat at our reception venue for years to come to celebrate our marriage and the most amazing day/night we had there.
All of this and to top it off their staff was amazing! Family owned and it shows in the best way. Easy going, accommodating, and flexible. A million thank yous to them for making our day so perfect for us.

nue itself is absolutely stunning and goes with any wedding style. As we came across different stages of the planning process, I had so many questions that came up along the way and Beata responded to every question in a timely manor. Being a very well established wedding venue they also had a lot of great ideas to help us make it day special! We rented the guest house for two nights and hosted our immediate families there. It made for a perfect weekend spent with our closest family. Anything we needed while staying at the guest house they had maintenance staff on call if needed. The day of our wedding went very smooth without any unexpected issues. Beata was there to coordinate every step of the day which helped us stay on time. They also worked well with our DJ, photographers and videographers, bakery, Pastor, florist and decor venders. Our guests complimented the quality of the food and wine, in fact many of our guests purchased bottles of wine at the end of the evening. I am so glad we chose Acquaviva as our wedding venue and look forward to hosting futures events there!

Acquaviva Winery is not only a stunning location, but the staff is exceptional. They were a huge part of why our wedding ran so smoothly. Before the wedding and on the day of, they...
were attentive, on-point, and professional. To put it over the top, the food and wine are great. We received so many compliments from our guests on the food, staff, and venue.

Really just not enough great things to say about our wedding process with Acquaviva. From day one, walking in to the place we were sold (after speaking with 76 vendors and looking ...
at 4 others in person). The beauty of the place is honestly jaw-dropping. Their ability to combine elegance and comfort is impeccable.
BUT the people!!!!! Just. Wow. Every tasting, every visit, every dinner, every single time we were at Acquaviva we were treated like family. The staff (Aubrey, Audrey, Nancy, Vito and so many others) are just absolutely amazing. I did not have a wedding planner or coordinator and this was no issue at all. They decorated for us on our big day, put our timeline together for us, and spoke with all of our vendors. We did not have to do anything the days leading up to our wedding.
I cannot emphasize enough how good the food is. So many people have told us it was the best food they have ever had in their lives, let alone wedding food. We have been told by almost everyone that attended (200 people) that our wedding was the best they had ever been to. That was truly because of Acquaviva, their service, their food quality, their sincerity, and their recommended vendors (shoutout SNP DJ’s - GO WITH THEM!!!!).
Our wedding day was the best day of our lives. If we had it anywhere other than Acquaviva, I am not sure it would have been so easy to make that the case. We are so grateful for this place and their people.

The staff was absolutely exceptional. Everyone 's top priority was making the day smooth and stress free. They are flexible and work with your to make your vision happen - some oth...
er venues I visited had some silly rules that would have prevented us from customizing our day. The staff was always reachable by phone or email to discuss questions. They were enjoyable to work with and went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect!
The food DELICIOUS! Which is no surprise since it's an Italian restaurant! So many compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed their meal.
The ceremony space in the vineyard was gorgeous, and the inside of the winery also made for amazing pictures. I loved having our entrances, first dances, and cake cutting in the entryway with the spectacular ceiling. The layout with the bar and head table in the middle made the day seem more intimate!
I am so glad that we chose to have our wedding at Acquaviva, the entire experience from our first visit, to our tasting, to our planning meeting, to the actual day was amazing!
