Why More Couples are Choosing a Winery Wedding

Over the past few years, there has been a rise in couples choosing to have their weddings at wineries. Now, we know that the traditional venues are still popular: churches, barns, country clubs, banquet halls, and hotels, to name a few. These are all great options, but we’re going to show you why winery weddings are on the rise and why one might be the best choice for your special day.

Save Money on the Decor

One of the best advantages to hosting your wedding at a winery is the natural decor that is already included. Wineries come with vineyards in beautiful rows and rolling grounds where you can relax with a glass of wine. There is no need to spend thousands of dollars to decorate the outside when the beauty of Mother Nature is there to do the heavy lifting. This allows you to focus on accenting the atmosphere, instead of creating it. And the pictures will look amazing, but more on that in a bit. 

Let’s Get Personal

A winery wedding is one of the easiest types of weddings to personalize; they’re elegant without being stuffy or intimidating. You can dress them up or down, depending on what you’re going for, and the winery is skilled at making your guests feel welcome. With larger tables, it’s easy to shift the focus to personal moments with your guests that make them feel like they’re more a part of your celebration. Being able to create these memorable experiences throughout the day will make your wedding the one they remember forever.

Also, since most wineries offer in-house catering, they can easily adjust their offering for food allergies or dietary restrictions. They are also going to offer their own wine that they make, which you probably cannot buy in the store just yet. Just another touch of exclusivity and a personal touch. At Spring Lake, we’re proud to offer handcrafted New York wines and delicious food that will bring your loved ones together and make your day memorable. 

Minimized Travel Times

Having multiple locations for your wedding can create unnecessary stress and a logistics nightmare. You need a space to get ready, have the ceremony, have the reception, and go get photos taken. That’s a lot to juggle, but there is a much easier solution- do it all in one place. Wineries allow you to avoid the traffic, the caravan of cars, and the expensive limo rental. 

At Spring Lake, we have three ceremony locations, a stunning lake and views for gorgeous pictures, on-site day-of coordination, and a rental lodge available for the wedding party to get ready. We can host your cocktail hour while you’re taking photos by the lake and prepare your reception in our Timber Lodge. All while you and your guests are relaxing and enjoying your special day, without ever having to deal with traffic and travel times. 

The Pictures are Stunning

We all know that wedding photos are very important keepsakes; they are very important touchstones to this monumental moment in our lives. They can easily bring us back to this time of joy when we’ve gotten a bit older, or to capture these joyful memories with loved ones who unfortunately had to leave us too soon. Wineries offer the perfect backdrop to these memories; they never try to overshadow them, but complement them. Mother Nature offers the perfect backdrop for couples to take a romantic walk along a forest path, or the vineyards at sunset. 

We’ve already mentioned our beautiful lake here at Spring Lake; that is the perfect location for gorgeous photos, but we also have our vineyards and our beautiful property. 

Cut Costs, Not Just the Cake 

The biggest reason that winery weddings are on the rise is the simple fact that they are very cost-efficient; couples are getting more for their money. With all-inclusive packages, wineries are able to provide couples an experience that they’ll remember for the rest of their lives without leaving them in a mountain of debt.
