Growing up in Washington State’s puget sound, I never really experienced the changing of the seasons until I moved to upstate NY in 2007. I fell in love with fall foliage, vibrant colors of spring, and wild flowers in July and August. At The Maples Estate, the scenery changes with each season, so what can you expect from the spring, summer or fall when you are touring the estate in the winter?

View images by month so you can see what the estate looks like year round, and decide what the best month is for you to get married!

MAY WEDDINGS

Peak Season begins when the trees and plants are popping and full of vibrant greens!

You’ll hear the animals waking with frogs croaking in the evening and fireflies just starting to show their light. Our pool opens for Memorial Day weekend so those looking for a spring wedding with pool parties or dips throughout the weekend, you will definitely want to hold off until late May or early June for your wedding festivities!

JUNE WEDDINGS

Early June is a great time for vibrant colors with fresh, lush greenery!

The trees will have filled in nicely providing a full canopy in the grove and the pond will be surrounded by mint and cattails. The summer bugs hold of until the humidity hits in July and evenings cool off, perfect for a late night campfire and stargazing! Late June is lush with color from the green trees to the cottage garden surrounding the farmhouse! Bright yellows, white and pinks are budding in the flower gardens and wild flowers are just starting to spring up around the estate. You will hear the frogs in the evening as they call to each other and fireflies settle in the trees! With the heat of the summer setting in, pool parties and dips in the creek will complete your weekend activities!
