From the reviews
Kristy and Jay allowed my husband and I to have our dream wedding. We knew we wanted an outdoor venue, but every affordable (and sometimes, unaffordable) venue in the area is a barn. We really did not want a barn, and were ecstatic when we found Vesuvius Vineyards.
We just had our wedding here 2 days ago on October 18th, and we couldn’t have asked for a better venue! The entire grounds and home are absolutely beautiful. The whole crew, especially Kristy and Jay, are wonderful! Their attention to detail and care for us were unmatched.
If I could give this venue 10 stars I would! My son and daughter in law were just married at Vesuvius Vineyards and it was absolutely beautiful. The owners are the best, organized, helpful, sincere and made the whole day seamlessly perfect. The reception was elegant yet relaxed.
I had the pleasure of DJing an event with Christine & Jay, the property owners! Wow, working for Split Second Sound and they always send me and their DJs to the best venues but this one took the cake. The level of kindness and calmness these two maintained for event planners and handlers was unparalleled.
Getting married at Vesuvius Vineyards
Vesuvius Vineyards comes up for weddings, going by their listing and couples’ reviews. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
