Juniata Valley Winery

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. Julie Kissinger

bove 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.

in communication with her in the 2 years leading up to the big day. She responds literally in an instant to all emails - doesn't matter how big or how small the question is she's on it - she's so amazing at her job and really provides peace and reassurance that your day is in good hands. The venue is absolutely incredible. My family and friends stayed on the full property for the weekend - we had rented both the Manor House and the Wilson House. It was fantastic and I can't say enough positive things about this place. My guests had a unique experience getting to stay for the whole weekend and the breakfasts were so yummy and a fun touch - it is a bed and breakfast after all. The property was in full fall mode with pumpkins and mums everywhere really adding to the space and the vibes. It made my wedding more special getting to experience it for a whole weekend surrounded by my closest people. The accommodations are so cool and the property is beautiful. Unfortunately my weekend was rainy and touch and go most of the time as to what the plan was for the ceremony because of course I wanted it outside. Molly was so flexible and in touch with me regularly leading up to the day for a game plan. Although it was stressful it's so worth trusting your vendor team! We had a backup plan and because I had so much space to work with we had a plan A (outside) and plan B (inside) setup so no matter what happened we were good to go and they allowed me to decide last minute. Luckily the rain stopped for the time of the ceremony. But it took so much stress off of us that they were flexible and prepared for any outcome. I left the weekend feeling fulfilled and wishing I could do it all over again! I wouldn't change anything! JVW and Molly made this experience absolute perfection. If you want a truly unique and special wedding then you can't go wrong with this place!

ur outdoor ceremony, the staff at JVW was so quick and helpful in pivoting us indoors and ensuring that the day was just as special. We cannot say enough good things about Juniata Valley Winery!

ly 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!

he even grabbed food for us from our buffet so we didn’t have to! The rest of the staff were amazing as well. A thunderstorm rolled in while we were taking photos after our ceremony, and they (without even having to be asked) came looking for us and our photographers on a golf cart to make sure we were dry and safe. I could go on and on about all of the wonderful things this venue has to offer. If you’re considering getting married here, don’t hesitate! They will do everything in their power to make sure you have the best experience!

g of our dreams at The Manor. We booked our date in November of 2022. From the moment we booked to the day of, Molly was exceptional at answering any and all of my questions and accommodating my requests. We had toured 4 other venues before going to JVW- none could even come close to the feeling the winery gave us upon stepping onto their property. We were immediately impressed by the supreme competence of Molly, who knew every detail of the venue and how we could best structure the package to fit our vision. We were very fortunate to have beautiful weather and our ceremony was held outside. We utilized the patio and the indoor reception area, all of which were pristine and everything we could’ve wished for. As two teachers who had school until the day before our rehearsal dinner, we were a little stressed as to how everything would get done. We had access to the venue starting at 12:00 on Friday, had a beautiful rehearsal dinner on the patio, then set everything up that night- yet, still had time to enjoy our guests with all the allotted time. The morning of our wedding was seamless due to the venue already having the inside completely ready for our event the night before. The day of your event, the staff at the Juniata Valley Winery will show up for their clients and execute a flawless day- from the decor, to the food, to the event management. Molly even bustled my dress before our entrance. We have been getting non-stop compliments from our friends and family about how awesome the wedding was and how much fun they had. I truly cannot recommend this venue and the staff enough- you will leave there with new friends and memories that will be everything you had dreamed of and more. A huge thanks to everyone at the winery for giving us an unbelievable day and memories to cherish for a lifetime!

spite 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. - Kristen & Aidan

ding. They have different bar packages depending on your budget. The Aisling Hall speaks for itself, hardly had to decorate. They set up the chairs and tables and even tear them down at the end of the night which is a bonus. Same for the ceremony as well. The winery even has places for guest to stay depending on which venue you pick at their winery. Breakfast was included in our package, which was great! Staff are extremely friendly and very helpfully. Molly was amazing! Always very quick to respond back and very helpful. She definitely made the wedding planning process easier. JVW definitely took away the stress and worries of our big day.

you're looking for an all in one, budget friendly, and gorgeous venue. Some comments from my guests included: "most fun wedding they've been too", "everything went so smooth", and "best wedding food I've ever had." (JVW catering) This venue also comes with the added bonus of a wonderful coordinator named Molly. I had decided to contract her as coordinator and it was the best decision I could've made. When I say I was constantly saying "what's next?" Due to the ridiculous bad luck I had with planning. Molly ended up being the glue that held it all together. She was kind, professional, and just downright helpful. I couldn't have done this without her. Overall, do not question about booking here. You will be forever thankful you did!

th 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 will always recommend for people to get married there!

roughout the wedding process and she knew when documents or certain things needed to be done in synchrony. Throughout the wedding planning portion, she has been very patient and assisted us with all our needs and answered all questions we had. I wanted to take the time to highlight a couple of amazing experiences we encountered throughout our wedding planning process, which showcases the remarkable services we experienced when working with the JVW staff and Molly. The first I want to address that on the weekend of our wedding, Molly and her staff had extra beer in stock and provided that to our wedding as an act of good faith and we were very appreciative of this kind gesture. The second highlight, describes the work ethic and the professionalism we dealt with. The JVW staff exemplified top notch professionalism and offered remarkable services. They helped and assisted when needed; and help dictate the workflow of the wedding. Everything from the golf cart transportation, directing our guest to the parking lot, the bartenders working, the staff putting our guest at ease during the reception, and the chef cooking the morning continental breakfast. James, was a breath of fresh air to work with. His thoroughness as a host was refreshing and his attention to detail was top notch. The third highlight I want to address is the feed back we received from our guests and vendors. We heard so many good things from our guest and they were raving about the venue’s top notch wine selections. The wine slushies were a great hit with our guests. We also heard plenty of great things about the upkeep of the venue, the gorgeous location and the surrounding areas close by the venue. This feedback we got from our guests and vendor is a testament of the amazing character and work ethic showcased by Molly, James, the JVW staff and the people/location of the Juniata Valley surrounding area. We were honored to be in the presence of your staff and have enjoyed the journey of planning our wedding with you. Although it continued to rain throughout our ceremony, that didn’t stop us from continuing inside and Mr. James and his staff assisted with the perfect transition of the decor from Ceremony/Reception. We were quite nervous the day of the wedding but James calming, attentive, and direct personality put both myself and my wife’s nerves at ease. We really appreciate all the services offered to us by your staff and want to say on behalf of both of us and all our Guests, “Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!” Whenever we are in town we will make stops to the winery room to say hi and to purchase more of your lovely wines. We thank you for hosting our wedding. I want to say thank you amply and it has been an honor from the both of us working with you. We wish prosperity to you, your wedding business venture, and wish JVW extreme success in the near future! Very Respectfully, Scott & Jahnil Laverie

endless and unique photos between the different ceremony locations. If you choose JVW to be your wedding venue, you will have an exceptional experience! Molly and the JVW staff are organized and truly awesome people that go above and beyond to make sure your wedding day is how you envisioned it. My husband and I got married in August in front of the vineyard and had our reception in Aisling Hall. The open doors, fire pits, and our ice cream vendor made for the best summer night. We love Juniata Valley Winery and you will too!

s 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.

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!)

, the food is delicious, and the staff is top notch. Every staff member we met was welcoming and kind, they really make you feel like family! We are so glad we chose them to host us on our big day!

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!

t 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!!!

'd recommend this venue to anyone!!

er I needed anything and was so responsive. On our wedding day she was so on top of it all and made sure we were good. The grounds are BEAUTIFUL! And staying at the bed and breakfast was so fun. Karen who runs the bed and breakfast is so kind and was amazing as well!

I hired her as my wedding coordinator and she was just so easy to work with, took care of any concerns and always followed through. Even guests noticed how great she was! The venue itself was beautiful and well kept. We stayed at the bed & breakfast all weekend and the Innkeeper Karen was a doll! Delicious food and got us whatever we needed.

. Molly (the venue coordinator) was amazing! She hand delivered us wine slushies after our very hot outdoor ceremony. Couldn't have asked for more. Would absolutely recommend.

d 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.

with the planning, odds and ends, the days before, and the day/night of the wedding. She took so much stress out of the process, made sure everything was to the way we envisioned it and worked with all our vendors (even in the middle of 2020). And issues that came up,, she had it covered. I could go on and on about Molly. The venue itself was amazing! I still get compliments on the venue. It was beautiful, and unique. Perfect for a small or large wedding. The moment the building garage doors opened to the vineyard at the reception, our guests made a beeline for the vines to get amazing photos. The patio and lawn allowed for lawn games that were a huge hit. The employees made sure everything was running smoothly, was clean, and updated us with alcohol quantities. Couldn't ask for a better venue. The bed and breakfast the night before and after was perfect for the bridesmaids to hang out and bond. The housekeeper was so attentive, even helping us with a last minute photo issue. Plus the breakfast was amazing! This is a newer place for weddings, so it is a secret gem in Central PA, but it is so worth it and they deserve all recognition.

nue and had to seek out a new space quickly, which lead us to JVW. The property is beautiful, the service incredible, they provide a wide range of services/amenities, and the cost is more than reasonable for the area! The ONLY reason we hadn't selected them from the beginning was because their pavilion wasn't constructed 3 years ago when we originally began looking for a space. As a Saturday wedding, the package we selected included a full weekend stay at their B&B with breakfast included for guests all days, access to the property Fri-Sun mornings; all necessary rentals; an option of 3 ceremony spaces; a day-of event coordinator; bar service; free tickets to their Friday Night Music; and options to include a rehearsal dinner and catering. As a couple who had postponed, they were so flexible with us - they made several adjustments to our package to accommodate previously booked vendors (e.g. catering, rentals, a separate ceremony location). Additionally, our original rehearsal dinner space was not going to be able to accommodate us due to state restrictions - JVW was incredibly understanding and willing to be on stand-by as a back up plan in the event our rehearsal fell through, which gave us so much peace of mind (though it didn't come to that for us)! The B&B is a beautiful farmhouse with several bedrooms and a separate bridal suite. For us, it was super convenient as it housed my entire immediate family (9 adults and 2 toddlers, who had traveled out of town) with extra room in case someone else needed to stay. It had a separate space for getting ready photos, so we didn't have to worry about stashing our things away for photos. In addition to breakfast, we were offered the option of having lunch made the day of the event; and we were also able to bring our own snacks/food/beverages. She worked with us to develop safe food options for a severe allergy in the family and worked closely with my sister (who had the two babies) so she had access to the refrigerator for things like milk for the kids. It was great to have access to the house during the reception for when the kids needed naps, and when I needed to get away to use the restroom or touch up hair/makeup. It was also nice to have a safe place to relocate gifts and other personal items when the day was over. The tables and chivari chairs provided elevate the space beautifully, and even the patio furniture looks great! The wine slushies were a huge hit-and several family members bought wine as mementos. We did elect to open all of the doors to the pavilion during the reception as we adored the vineyard behind our sweetheart table, but the coordinator checked in with us about our comfort levels with the heat as the day went on and was willing to adjust for whatever we wanted, (the pavilion does have AC). As if everything hasn't sold you yet, their coordinator, Molly, is definitely one of the most incredible parts of working with JVW. We had previously hired a well-reviewed external coordinator and in our opinion, even still Molly's attention to detail and assistance surpassed everything -- we didn't even need anyone else -- she was our MVP! I can't do her service justice with the limited characters I have remaining, but she is amazing in EVERY WAY! Thank you JVW & Molly for making our day perfect!

arty could stay on site all weekend as part of the price that we were paying and so many little things were included that saved us a lot of money (like tables, chairs, an arbor, etc.) We had the best time getting married at JVW! The grounds were beautiful, and from the moment we got there, everyone was so kind and treated us so well. There was never anything we needed that someone didn’t offer to help us with and we got compliments from all of our guests on the way that everything ran. Everyone at the venue went out of their way to make our weekend special. Even the owner was around during our rehearsal and wedding day to make sure everything was smooth. I wanted to say an extra special shout-out to Molly (the venue coordinator). She was hands down the BEST part of our day, there any single moment I needed her (in person or over the phone) from the second I virtually met her through our wedding night send off. She helped with so many details, organized our vendors, stood up for us and our day and everything we needed. She was so kind and went above and beyond with extra little touches throughout the day for us (like greeting us at the end of the aisle with a wine slushie and making sure to snag me an extra one before they ran out at the end of cocktail hour). All of my guests were blown away by her running around all night like a superstar. I seriously cannot say enough good things about the way that she just made our day perfect.
