Unique NY Wedding Venue. Ashley & Brian. 6.11.22

November 14, 2022/ Katie Hammon

The Marriage of Ashley & Brian
June 11, 2022 at The Maples Estate

Schoharie, NY - Upstate, NY

As creatives working in LA, this imaginative couple dreamed up a color filled wedding full of personality at our unique NY wedding venue!

Ashley and Brian met while living in Beacon, NY, yet joined us from Los Angeles where Brian works in the film industry and Ashley is a Production Manager for an installation artist. With a background in production, they wanted their hands on every aspect of their wedding from vendor selection to the hand-poured crayons placed on each table. A self proclaimed “DIY girl through and through” and “the person who plans for all the fires that might arise and makes sure to put them out,” Ashley wondered how she could have her hands on every detail without being overwhelmed on her wedding day. She wanted to hand her perfectly planned wedding off to someone else to manage so she could enjoy every moment of the celebration. The Maples Estate allowed them to implement exactly what they had envisioned with retro vibes, colorful attire and so many disco balls while also hosting their friends all weekend long and coordinating their big day for them.

Reception at The Maples Estate, a unique NY Wedding Venue The Maples Estate

How They Met!

This creative couple met when Ashley was attending college in Beacon, NY. Brian had grown up there and at the time, owned a coffee shop where he would play guitar in the front window. Ashley saw him in the window one day and they got to talking while he took her coffee order. 8 years later they were engaged, but with the pandemic they were stalled in their wedding plans. When they were able to pick up their planning again, they knew upstate New York was the perfect place and were dreaming of The Maples Estate for their unique NY wedding. With a minimal budget they got to planning and dreamed up this fun, retro wedding!

A Full Weekend of Activities

Their unique NY wedding began on Thursday with friends traveling all across the northeast and beyond to join them. They jammed out in the back parlor with their favorite tunes, hopped in the pool, splashed in the creek and got to work setting up their dream wedding reception. Ashley had a vision in mind and wanted full control over every details. It was so fun to watch her vision come to life and we were happy to take over on Saturday to ease her mind and finalize all her perfectly planned details! Keep scrolling to see images of their Friday rehearsal dinner before the celebration began!

The Cake Preparation

While the bridal parties were getting ready, Ashley’s aunt took control in the kitchen as she constructed their unique wedding cake! A gift that her aunt offers to all her family members. Such a special gift!

First Look With Ashley’s Dads

They embraced an artistic retro vibe with disco balls and 70s inspired calligraphy, bedazzled shoes and feather headpiece. Finding ways to incorporate her family, Ashley’s dad and stepdad joined her for a first look overlooking the pond after getting glammed up in the get ready room.

Ceremony Details

They loved the idea of assorted chairs for their ceremony so we mixed and matched our three different styles for a creative vibe overlooking the hillside in the tree grove. They wanted each of their guests to be engaged in the moments so they collected phones from everyone as they arrived and handed out dried flowers for tossing following the ceremony. When they picked up their phones they also received a disco ball seating card with their table number!

The Guest’s Attire

They asked all their guests to wear colorful attire for their unique ny wedding and they took that and ran! Each guest was decked out with their most colorful outfit and we loved how the colors came together!

The Ceremony

Choosing to stay hidden before their ceremony, Ashley and Brian saw each other for the first time while walking down the aisle and it was so special to have both Ashley’s dads join her to hand her off to Brian.

The Cocktail Hour

Following their ceremony, guests gathered in the field for a colorful charcuterie display while the couple and their bridal parties took photos around the estate.

Reception Details

The reception was full of unique details from the table numbers to the vintage assorted plates, moss, drift wood, disco balls, hand poured crayons and colorful florals. They even covered the tables with butcher paper so their guests could leave them fun notes and draw throughout the evening. Their tables numbers were images of found numbers in the wild and even incorporated some of their friends bodies formed in the shape of numbers!

Entrance & First Dance!

They entered their wedding reception from the pond walk and danced all evening long to their favorite tunes.

Dinner & Love Notes!

Their friends left them little notes and enjoyed a bbq dinner with full hog and yummy sides from local restaurant High on the Hog BBQ.

Cutting The Cake!

Their cake cutting was so special with their cake assembled by Ashley’s aunt and a handmade cake topper with two love birds!

Time for Dancing!

They day would not have been complete without an outfit change for dancing the night away!

An SNL Inspired Last Song

This group was all about the party and even celebrated the close of their wedding reception with a SNL style credits role thanking each of their friends for attending as they all joined each other on the dance floor for a final photo!

Rainy Day Weddings. Rachel & Nick. 9.4.22

November 04, 2022/ Katie Hammon

The Marriage of Rachel & Nick
September 4, 2022 at The Maples Estate

Schoharie, NY - Upstate, NY

A perfectly rainy magical wedding at The Maples Estate!

Rachel and Nick’s magical wedding at The Maples Estate was blessed with a rainy day that was just what the couple called for. Nick’s parents celebrated their wedding with rain, and it was so fitting for this Lord of the Rings loving couple to have drizzly moody photos to match their ethereal, woodsy attire. From unique, enchanted, witchy bridal party photos, Lord of the Rings entrance music at the ceremony performed by cellist Sasha Ono, and a dagger used to cut the cake, this couple found little ways to personalize their big day and showcase their love of magical worlds.

Couples first touch indoors during their rainy day wedding

Wedding Inspiration

With a career in editorial and fashion photography showcasing worlds she can only dream about, Rachel incorporated unique elements of etherial magic throughout the day. From lawn games at the cocktail hour to a mossy guest book area and flower crowns repurposed from the ceremony arch, they thought through every little detail. The couple also celebrated with their dog Gilly who enjoyed every moment of the weekend and was incorporated into all aspects of their wedding, never leaving Rachel’s side. Their guests were in awe of the world they created here at The Maples Estate for their unique Hudson Valley wedding.

Witchy Bridal Party Photos

As an editorial and fashion photographer, Rachel wanted to take full advantage of the setting while incorporating her bridal party! They gathered in white attire on the front steps of our 1855 colonial farmhouse for a full on photo shoot and we LOVED everything about it!

Bridal party at their rainy day wedding in upstate new york

“Wedding planning should be fun! And it’s a chance to be fully present in every experience surrounding your wedding with your partner. Whether it’s the tiniest detail or the whole idea behind your wedding, planning together and making everything distinctively you is a way of celebrating your relationship, who you are, and taking this new step together. We also didn’t let others’ ideas about weddings or what they should be like get in the way of how we wanted to do it. When it comes to a huge institution like marriage, there’s going to be a lot of pressure from all kinds of sources; whether it’s societal pressure, pressure from family members, or other people getting married around you. We knew what was most important to us going into planning; which was to spend a whole weekend celebrating with our friends and family in a way that made us comfortable and excited to get married. And that’s just what we did!”

First Touch

Their first touch was something to dream about! Rachel and Nick wanted to hold off on seeing each other during their wedding day until they walked down the aisle but they knew their hearts would be racing with nerves as they waited for the moment. To ease their minds they decided on a first “touch” in front of our vintage wallpaper in our 1855 colonial farmhouse!

Getting Ready & The Ceremony

Both parties enjoyed themselves fully with the bridal party in the get ready room and bunk room upstairs, and the grooms party in the double parlors downstairs. Rachel and Nick knew they wanted their ceremony to remain outdoors despite the weather forecast, so we took advantage of a 30 minute gap in the rain and pushed the ceremony back a few minutes. Their guests gathered on the veranda to avoid the rain as they waited for the ceremony to begin and when the moment was just right they made their way down to the tree grove with umbrellas overhead.

“Our friends walked down the aisle to a cello version of Concerning Hobbits from Lord of The Rings, and our dog son, Gilly, was the ring bearer. I walked down the hill at Maples Estate with my huge train billowing behind me in the soft rain. Both my mom and dad walked me down the aisle, through a sea of all our loved ones to the ‘altar’ while our cellist played, and it was the most pure and intense moment for both Nick and I. All the planning was behind us and we were literally standing in front of each other, looking at all the work we had done and the people around us who got us to this moment. And then we read our own written vows to each other and our tears mixed with the light rain while we spoke and it was just an unforgettable moment”

“I am a fashion photographer in Brooklyn and have an affinity for renaissance aesthetic in my work as well as home decor. I dream of florals and long tables with vintage chairs and baroque candlesticks slowly burning through the night. Nick, my husband, I can lovingly say, is a sci-fi nerd with an affinity for grandiose adventurecore and loves the great outdoors. We connect in our mutual admiration of moss we find during hikes or pining for the beautiful rolling hills in Lord of the Rings. Neither of us subscribe to any typical religious traditions in our every day lives, so we decided to create a celebration that was completely us and really driven by the desire to be surrounded by our loved ones throughout the whole weekend in a fun, low key, yet visually stunning setting.”

Photos Galore!

Rachel and Nick took a long stroll around the estate for their photos while their guests enjoyed a cocktail hour under the reception tent covered from the light drizzle of rain.

Reception Details

Their reception kicked off with personalized elements scattered around the reception tent and magical wedding decor with colorful florals, moss, vintage candle sticks and a flower crown station repurposed from the ceremony arch. This rainy day wedding was such a perfect setting for these two and their etherial woodsy vision!

“We had such a gorgeous ceremony backdrop that Nicole installed around the wooden arch that Nick's dad had built for us. We then repurposed those flowers after the ceremony for the guests to build their own flower crowns which is a tradition of ours every summer for Swedish Midsummer. I loved the idea of the guests being able to take part in the decor and take a little piece home with them.”

“We had two signature cocktails based on things that we love to drink, and instead of a cake cutting, had a pie cutting ceremony with a renaissance era dagger as our pie cutter.”

Brooke & Scott. Outdoor Wedding Dreams. 9.10.22

November 03, 2022/ Katie Hammon

The Marriage of Brooke & Scott
September 10, 2022 at The Maples Estate

Schoharie, NY - Upstate, NY

A union under god in nature.

That was Brooke and Scott’s dream. Growing up in the church, they wanted to incorporate their faith into their marriage but preferred to celebrate in the open air under the sky, trees and stars, instead of holding an indoor church ceremony. With just three items on Brooke’s wishlist, an outdoor wedding, checkered dance floor and sail cloth tent, they knew immediately that this was the place for them when they could envision their wishlist at the estate. They woke up to the sunrise over the estate on the morning of their wedding after a couple days of fun with their bridal party staying in the farmhouse. For their ceremony, they invited their pastor to officiate their wedding and took communion together under the shade of the tree grove while one of Brooke’s bridesmaids sang an incredibly loving song for the group to bless the moment. Wanting their bridal parties to see their faces during the ceremony, they scratched tradition and had their parties switch sides. Bridesmaids on Scott’s side of the aisle and Grooms-people on Brooke’s side. They opted for mixed chairs and rugs for their aisle which suited their personalities and each of their guests continued to tell us throughout the day that they could not imagine their wedding any other way. This was truly an expression of the two’s union.

They enjoyed a cocktail hour on the veranda and celebrated into the evening under a beautiful sailcloth tent with of course, a checkered dance floor! Their attire was meticulously thought through with matching, but also mismatched bridal party colors and sneakers for the entire party including personalized kicks for Brooke and Scott. Scott was even presented with a brightly colored brand new pair of shoes on the dance floor by his grooms-people to dance the night away. Looking for a causal environment they opted for a pizza truck to sling pizzas for dinner, and supplemented with an additional handcrafted caterer for cocktail hour, sides and dessert. They even enjoyed a sparkling lemonade toast for speeches!

Cost of a Destination Wedding

October 17, 2022/ Katie Hammon

Wondering what the investment will be for a destination weekend wedding at The Maples Estate?

Websites will throw all sorts of numbers out there because when it comes to each individual wedding, budgets are all over the map. The cost of your destination wedding will change depending on your wedding vision, the number of guests attending and the vendors selected to bring your vision to life.

Often budgets of weekend weddings at The Maples Estate exceed $100k and it's rare that our clients spend less than $65,000 all in (venue fee, catering, vendors). Though, let’s talk about what’s included in that budget. At The Maples Estate, we include 3 nights and 4 days onsite in your wedding package. That means you can host all your events onsite from welcome events or a rehearsal dinner to the wedding day events such as ceremony, cocktail hour and your reception. This also means you can host a farewell brunch or other activities onsite such as kayaking, yoga and more. Within the 3 nights onsite, you can host up to 17 guests in our farmhouse all weekend long! We also incorporate wedding planning throughout the planning journey and coordination of the weekend’s events in your package alongside other fun perks like tables and chairs, our prop closet, campfires, lawn games, a golf cart with attendant and more.

So what other costs are required beyond the venue fee?

The largest cost will be your food & beverage throughout the weekend, as full service catering packages tend to sit around $200-$250 per person. Some food & beverage options such as food trucks or non traditional caterers can offer lower cost options and there are also caterers that will charge much more depending on the packages selected and level of services they provide. For food & beverage we see our clients spending anywhere from $100 - $600 per person.

In addition to catering, you will likely want a photographer and or videographer to capture the moments, a DJ or band to get the party started and decor items such as florals and rentals, attire for the different events, possibly transportation for your guests among other things. With so many factors to think about when it comes to wedding costs, we include the creation of your personalized wedding budget in your wedding package so you will feel supported as you make decisions along the way. Keep scrolling for an editable budget template!

So when you ask: “Can I afford a wedding at The Maples Estate?

I’m going to respond with: “Let’s chat through your vision.”

That’s because every vision comes at a different price point. Some couples will spend $15,000 on catering and some will spend $60,000. Some spend $3,000 on music and some spend $15,000. Some spend $5,000 on florals and some spend $30,000. Every vendor you choose is going to come at their own price point, and will impact the experiences you have throughout your wedding. The best way to select vendors is to keep that experience in mind as you build the vision, hiring vendors to match.

So, what are the factors that will impact the cost of your destination wedding?

The Vendors You Choose: As I mentioned, every vendor comes with a different price point, but it’s up to you what vendors you choose to hire for your wedding. We have couples that keep things simple and those that go all out! You never HAVE to hire a vendor just because the internet said you should. Instead, choose vendors that match your budget, vision, and feel authentic to your desired wedding experience.
Number of Guests: The single greatest impact to your budget is the number of guests you invite. That’s because catering costs (food, dessert, barware, alcohol, linens, plates, silverware, cups, staffing, etc.) almost always are tied to your final guest count. That means the cost of $250 per person will multiply very quickly when that 50 person guest list balloons to 150 guests. Keep in mind that some vendors have a minimum rate in order to offer their services, so confirm that minimum amount before you sign your contract.
Staffing: Some vendors work solo, and some have a 10 or 20 person staff behind them. Vendors like photographers, videographers, DJs, photo booths, etc. are often flying solo. Some packages even allow you to add a staff member for support such as a second shooter for photography. Staffing can add to your destination wedding costs but it’s almost always tied to the level of service that will be provided. Think about a photographer, that second shooter adds double the coverage and allows them to be in two places at once! A large catering team usually means you will have a higher level of service, those that prep the food, serve the food, clear plates, wash dishes, cut your cake, fill your water glass, etc. Smaller teams may be more cost effective, but will often come with less support.
Number of Hours: Many vendors will have different price points for the number of hours they are onsite. Think about your timeline for the day before you choose your package, to ensure you have all the coverage you desire. Want getting ready photos and also that late night dance party? You may need to add hours to your package to get the images you desire. Want your DJ to play music for your ceremony, cocktail hour and also keep the party going till 11pm? Make sure you hire them for their full package.

When you think about your wedding budget, you can ALWAYS find someone at whatever price point you need. However, the key is to match your vision with that price point. That way you are getting the level of service, quality, the look, feel and experience you desire at the price that you can afford. If you want the highest level of service it will likely come at a greater cost. With that said, switching things up, thinking outside the box and getting your hands dirty, can often stretch your budget a bit further.

So, what vendors do you need to hire besides your venue?

Remember, you do not HAVE to hire a vendor just because the internet told you to. It’s all your personal choice and each vendor you choose should match the vision you have for YOUR wedding. However, many weddings will choose to have the following vendors.

Catering, Bar Service, Sweat Treats ($100 - $600 pp)
Photographer, Videographer ($3,500 - $30,000+)
Florist ($5,000 - $30,000+)
DJ, Live Music ($3,000 - $15,000+)
Rentals: Vintage Furniture, Dance Floor, Linens, Specialty Decor, Lighting, Table & Glassware ($20 - $100+ pp)
Hair, Makeup ($500-$2,500+)

What other costs can be associated with weddings?

Wedding Attire, Accessories. Rings
Stationary: Save The Dates, Invitations, Menus, Programs, Signage, Guest Book
Photo Booth, Activities
Guest Favors
Rehearsal Dinner / Welcome Event
Farewell Brunch
Transportation
Officiant
Atmospheric Elements Like Lighting, Installations or Draping

So remember, as you are thinking through your destination wedding costs, think first about the amount of money you have to work within, how does that match up to the vision you have for your wedding? Then, think about your vision and move forward first with those vendors that:

have the greatest impact on your budget,
can only work 1 wedding per day / weekend
you are really excited about and cannot envision your wedding without.

We LOVE transparency, that’s why we provide a budget template to help you get started.

Remember, you will have your own personalized budget based on the vision you have for your wedding, but there are also a couple tabs in the document linked below with sample budgets to work from. Click File 'MAKE A COPY' to edit the document and start your budget.

The Marriage of Whitney & Evan
June 18, 2022 at The Maples Estate

Schoharie, NY - Upstate, NY

This celebration was all about the fun with smiles from ear to ear all weekend long!

Whitney and Evan came to us after canceling their 2020 wedding due to COVID. They had an unfortunate situation with their previous venue and needed a new venue they could trust to pull off their epic 4 day wedding. They fell in love with The Maples Estate in the wintertime and were ecstatic to see the colors pop in the spring when they came for a final walk through! They took full advantage of the weekend wedding celebrations with a rehearsal dinner, movie night, wedding day events and after party with a Friday through Monday rental. They enjoyed their more formal celebrations on Saturday and relaxed on Sunday with lawn games and pool time. They even had their dog Tofu with them to enjoy the full weekend events!

This group smiled all weekend and goofed around enjoying each others company to the fullest!

August 13, 2022 at The Maples Estate

Schoharie, NY - Upstate, NY

What happens when animal loving artists get married? A colorful dog friendly wedding in upstate NY!

Originally from the east coast but now living in Los Angeles, California, artists / designers Katherine and Nath built their one of a kind wedding at The Maples Estate featuring their incredibly adorable bull dogs! Not only did they enjoy a full weekend getaway at the estate, they also traveled cross country in a van with their furry friends to ensure they could be part of their special day! Unfortunately a few of their other animals had to stay at home but they found ways to incorporate them into their nuptials with a post wedding photoshoot back in LA when they returned!

Katherine and Nath dreamt up such a special, colorful event and we are obsessed with every bit of their wedding! From the stitcher to the mobile bar, their food selection, wordrobe, neon signs and incredible color palette, each detail of their wedding melded together so perfectly to create a truly unique expression of these two!

At Home. Upstate

May 23, 2022/ Katie Hammon

Home is where love resides, memories are created, friends always belong, and laughter never ends. - Author Unknown

There are many definitions of the word home, but to us it is a space where loved ones gather, connect, grow deeper stronger bonds and build new beginnings. It is a safe haven and comforting place to grow in love and care for one another. The words ‘At Home. Upstate’ are written into our logo because these are the words that we operate by. We exist not just as a space to host weddings and events but as a space that you will truly feel ‘at home’. We welcome you into our home as if it was your own. A space where you may come as you are and celebrate surrounded by loved ones without the pressures of time. We have created spaces where you can truly experience your wedding and not just watch it play out around you.

We absolutely love to watch old friends connect for late night chats around the fire or families that are blending meet for the first time over a game of monopoly. We love watching pool parties turn into sing alongs and dads cry as they see their daughter for the first time in their wedding dress. Connection takes time. It is impossible to create lasting moments when you are running late, stressed out, uncomfortable and bombarded with questions about last minute details from vendors and guests. In traditional wedding settings, so many couples forget to enjoy their wedding. That is why we have built our small family business around wedding weekend experiences, to ensure that you have quality time with your loved ones all weekend long, and can enjoy those special little moments in a relaxed and beautiful setting. You will have exclusive use of the estate so it is all yours!

As an event planner who has built and managed events of all shapes and sizes, I have seen it all. That is why I LOVE to include coordination services in all of our packages. At The Maples Estate, you will walk into your wedding prepared and walk away as family. We have also designed the estate so there are multiple spaces to celebrate within. You may host all of your events onsite so you never have to loose time traveling from place to place. Your guests will also love exploring the estate and will never get bored with plenty of spaces to spread out and fun adventure nearby.

No two weddings at The Maples Estate are the same, because no two couples are the same. That is why we never lock you into any vendors and we help you in planning a wedding that is personalized to you. We value diversity and believe that love is love. So come as you are!

We will host up to 17 of your closest friends and family onsite all weekend long with 3 nights and 4 days standard across our packages, and you may invite a guest list up to 150 for larger events throughout the weekend.

No two weddings are the same because no two couples are the same!

From furnishings and details to clothing, florals, invitations, menus, and more, there are so many ways to incorporate your personality directly into your wedding design without it feeling overwhelming or out of place. When I am designing a wedding, I want to know all the little details about my clients so that I can incorporate your personality, favorite colors, books, food, places to travel, explore and more directly into the design. Each little detail informs the look and feel of your wedding and helps me to understand what’s going to feel comfortable to you on your wedding day. We will create a design board based on these elements with a clear vision before we lock in your vendors for a cohesive design that speaks to you. There are no cookie cutter weddings here at The Maples Estate! We want your design to feel seamless so that you and your guests can relax into the evening in a space that feels like you!

This relaxed, romantic photo shoot was such a dream to plan! With a clear vision from the start, this cohesive design came together with vintage elements and vendors that melded perfectly together. With an 1890s cowboy theme, each element tied back to the original design concept, informing each and every decision. Curating vendors is incredibly important when it comes to quality event design, and sharing your design board from the start helps to determine which vendors will be the right fit for your wedding. Just like couples, each vendor has their own personality, interests and talents, so when choosing a team that is going to successfully bring your vision to life, it is all about finding those vendors who’s talents align with your vision. By choosing vendors that specialized in vintage and handmade items I was able to incorporate so many elements that would have been available in the late 1800s and aligned with the vision for this shoot. From furniture to letter press stationary, dried local florals, period specific menswear and accessories, handmade beeswax candles, coffee and pastries, each vendor was spot on in delivering to the theme because it was right in their wheelhouse.

Before you go searching all over Pinterest to find the latest wedding trends, ask me to plan and design your wedding! Together we will build a wedding that speaks directly to you as a couple and allows you to relax into your wedding weekend so all you have to do is enjoy it!

Don’t have the budget to afford a wedding planner? Don’t worry, we provide all our couples with valuable resources as soon as you book to ensure your wedding day feels just like you! We even share tips and tricks for planning your dream wedding on our blog and include coordination services in all of our packages!

Planning Your Ceremony

April 30, 2022/ Katie Hammon

Let’s face it, most couples hold off on planning their ceremony until the very last minute!

If that is you, don’t worry! There are so many ways to make things official while showcasing your personality, religion, traditions and more! Here are some things you will need to think through as you plan your ceremony.

Find an officiant!

Do you want a professional officiant who will personalize your ceremony script and lead you through it?
We provide our couples with a short list of professional officiants working in upstate NY. These officiants have experience personalizing the ceremony script to fit you as a couple and will meet with you ahead of time to plan all the details out.

Maybe you want to keep things personal and ask a friend to officiate?
Many of our couples choose to have a friend or family member officiate their wedding. This is best arranged through an online service where one can get ordained. A couple of these services include American Marriage Ministries and Universal Life Church though there are others. These sites even have some great resources to plan your ceremony script.

Do you want your marriage to be recognized by your religion?
While most religious ceremonies take place in a place of worship, it’s worth asking if the leader of your congregation would be able to offer ceremony officiating services outside of the church, chapel, synagogue, mosque etc.

Choose any traditions, rituals, readings, songs, etc. you want to incorporate

Many cultures and religions have their own traditions so do some research to determine if you would like to incorporate anything special into your ceremony. It’s okay to keep things short and sweet or extend the ceremony with song, dance, readings and rituals. This is a great way to personalize your wedding and incorporate your values into this special moment.

Determine how the wedding party will enter and exit the ceremony

Do you have a wedding party? What about parents or grandparents, dogs, nieces, nephews, or others that you would like to incorporate into your ceremony entrance? Think through who these people, animals, others might be and how you wish for them to enter. Are some of these people stationed ahead of time or will everyone make the walk down the aisle? What order do you want them to go in? Do you want anyone to walk together? Separately?

Also think about what kind of entrance you want to make. Do you wish to dance down the aisle to drums and horns, want a harpist to serenade you as you walk gracefully or jaunt down to your favorite folk or pop song? What feels right for you?

Write your vows!

Will you say traditional vows or write your own? Many couples decide to write their own vows as it makes your ceremony that much more special and personalized. For couples that are nervous about other people watching them, consider sneaking away for a special moment to yourselves where you can share your personal vows just the two of you. There are no right or wrong ways to get married!

Don’t forget to get your marriage license!

Remember, you need to arrange your marriage license BEFORE your wedding takes place! If you are located out of state and need to arrange your marriage license when you arrive, you can do so at the local town hall in Schoharie or a nearby town hall through the town or city clerk. Check availability on the municipality website.

HERE is a great resource with marriage license requirements in NYS.

A Song Is An Instant Memory!

April 30, 2022/ Katie Hammon

Music is one of the most important parts of a wedding as it will bring you back 20 years later to your walk down the aisle, your first dance as a married couple, or even that finale song that sent you off into the night together!

Here is your reminder to talk with your DJ or band about those key songs that will follow you into your future!

What are some of those moments that you might want to accompany with a special song?

Prelude music
Bridesmaids or groomsmen walk down the aisle
Wedding couple walk down the aisle
Exit down the aisle
Entrance into the reception
First Dance
Parent Dances
Song to get people up and dancing
Special moments - musical chairs, chicken dance, sorority song, etc.
Final Song

This is just a start! Feel free to think through other fun moments you may want to remember with a song!

Talk to us if you would like to have a mic available for your ceremony or a bluetooth speaker available for your ceremony, cocktail or other smaller events. It’s always best to hire someone to manage these moments such as a DJ or band, but it’s also okay to ask a friend to press play on their phone or laptop as needed!

Small Wedding Venue in Upstate New York

March 27, 2022/ Katie Hammon

Jennifer and Dan's ceremony for their small wedding at The Maples Estate in Upstate New York

We absolutely love hosting “micro” or small weddings!

While some venues do not allow micro events onsite, we happen to LOVE hosting small weddings at our venue in upstate New York!

We love them so much that we even have a special micro wedding package just for these small wedding gatherings of 30 guests or less. Micro Weddings have so much personality! I know, it can be hard to narrow down that guest list and define who your closest friends and family are…but the reward is so great! Let’s be honest, small weddings are not for everyone; but for those of you that are looking to enjoy quality time with each and every one of your guests, and find every opportunity to showcase your personality, micro / small weddings can be a huge perk!

Take Jennifer and Dan for example, pictured above with their 21 person guest list. This Seattle couple had been together for over 15 years and believe it or not, their families had never met each other. They wanted their wedding to not only be a celebration of their love, but also an opportunity for their families to get to know one another. That can be pretty hard to accomplish when you have 150 guests. Considering their family was all on the east coast and they were living on the west coast, it was also an opportunity to spend quality time with each of their guests. They also hated the idea of a traditional wedding and wanted to showcase their personalities in every aspect of their wedding. You can read more about Jennifer & Dan’s wedding, and view pictures HERE.

So, what are the benefits of a micro / small sized wedding guest list?

Quality time with each of your guests
With a small guest size you will have every opportunity to engage directly with ALL of your guests. No more running around to every table for a quick hello before you are off to the next, you can sit and relax, chat and make the celebration exactly what you want it to be.
Can be more relaxed and less formal
Managing 100+ guests means you should probably stick to the schedule. With a smaller guest list you have the ability to be more flexible in your timeline, but also in the way you choose to celebrate.
More opportunities and spaces to celebrate
A smaller guest list means more spaces that can fit your event. At The Maples Estate, we can host different events in different spaces throughout the property, all depending on the guest size. With a small wedding, you can celebrate anywhere across the estate!
Your budget can stretch further
Less guests means less stuff! While the price of your photographer, DJ, or wedding planner may not change, the number of tables and chairs, plates, florals, linens, quantity of food, etc. may! Think about what items are important to you, splurge there and cut back elsewhere.
You can inject your personality into every aspect of the wedding
With a smaller wedding guest list, there is more opportunity to get creative! You can cut the traditional wedding timeline and make it whatever you want it to be. Jennifer and Dan decided to forgo a sit down dinner and instead they arranged for vintage lounge seating to make for a less formal environment with an outdoor living room. Together we created a weekend of events that suited not only their personalities and interests, but also those of their guests.

If micro weddings are that great, why would a venue stray away from weddings of this size?
Many traditional wedding venues have required guest minimums because they need to earn a certain dollar amount back in catering and rentals. They may also have extensive lodging on site that needs to be filled for all their weddings. This business model is the model that works best for them, but here at the Maples Estate we never lock our couples into specific caterers or minimums. We love that every event is different, so we allow you to work with the vendors of your choosing, and match your selections and guest size with the specifics of your event(s).

If you are looking to host a micro / small wedding at The Maples Estate, get in touch!
We would love to answer any questions you may have and schedule a tour, either in person or virtually!

Food Truck Tips & Tricks!

March 27, 2022/ Katie Hammon

Do you dream of having a food truck at your wedding?

Food trucks can be an incredible way to showcase your personality and add an element of FUN!

We LOVE food trucks! There are however some key items to note when booking a food truck for your wedding celebration. Here are some helpful tips and things to think through before booking, so your wedding runs smoothly and your guests leave full and happy!

Confirm your guest size with the company ahead of time
You will want to ensure that the company you hire can serve ALL your guests, and in a timeframe that is acceptable. Sometimes food trucks will have a limit on the number of guests they are able to serve in a reasonable amount of time. You don’t want your guests to wait in long lines or stand around for hours waiting to eat.
Consider having more than one food truck
Why not give your guests options? If you have two or three food trucks, you can accommodate any guest’s dietary restrictions, limit the number of guests the food trucks have to feed, reduce lines and wait times. Keep in mind that guests may want to try different trucks, so it might be helpful to have quick bite sized samples available or even stationed food so guests can try each truck.
Limit the number of items on the menu
Many food trucks have a lot of options on their menu. Sounds great! But logistically that can be a nightmare when prepping food for a large number of guests. Consider limiting the menu to 3 or 4 items so guests still have options, but the chef can prepare accordingly.
Place orders before your wedding
Consider having guests place orders ahead of time either in their invitation or through a google form. This way the chef can prep meals ahead of time, note any dietary restrictions, and order the correct amount of ingredients so they don’t run out of that favorite item! If you don’t want to arrange ahead of time, maybe check in with guests when they arrive on site so there is at least some additional time for the kitchen staff to prep.
What other items do they offer as part of their packages? Bar? Cocktail Hour Bites? Dessert?
Do you want to have food available at your cocktail hour? What about beer, wine or liquor? Dessert? Confirm ahead of time what the food truck is able to offer. Whatever they do not offer, you will need to arrange through another vendor. Tip: Arrange for some stationed items to be placed around the reception so your guests can graze on these items first, allowing those long lines to ease at the start of dinner.
Do they have support staff? Do they provide plates, silverware, linens?
Full service caterers may be more expensive upfront, but they also come with staff, can provide bar services, dessert, arrange linens, plates, utensils, etc. so you know all things food and beverage are taken care of. Some food trucks may offer these items but some may not. Confirm ahead of time what is included in the price. Do they set the tables for you when they arrive, or have linen rentals available? Do they have plates and utensils, napkins? Do they have support staff that will help serve the food? What about cleanup after the dinner service? These are all items you can arrange for through other companies if they do not provide them, but it may be slightly more work to manage all those additional items. Something to consider before booking.
Do you need servers?
Do you want your guests waiting in lines for food? If not, you may want to confirm if the company has servers that can bring the food to your guests. If they do not, there are event staffing companies listed on our vendor list that can arrange these services.
Confirm their power and water requirements
Do they run off of a generator? Do they need power or water hookups? We have power and water available as needed but this is a great perk of a food truck! They are often self contained and therefor you will not need to provide a catering tent or additional equipment for them. They may even have a generator and water storage on the truck so that means more power for your other vendors!
Confirm their truck can make it up a hill!
Our estate has some hills and the access road to the reception paddock may not be ideal for some trucks. Before booking, confirm if the food truck can make it up and down a slight incline.

Again, we LOVE food trucks, but they are not often full service operations. They can be really fun options though and totally worth a little extra effort!! It’s best to get some questions answered ahead of time to determine if it’s the right fit for your wedding, and any hidden costs that you may not be thinking of before you book. We want to ensure that your guests will leave full and happy and that you are stress free leading into your wedding weekend!

What's the deal with alcohol for my wedding weekend?

February 22, 2022/ Katie Hammon

Bride and groom in front of mobile bar at their wedding

New York State requires that all events at an establishments such as ours, hold a permit in order to consume alcohol.

You have a few different options to choose from depending on your preferences for consumption throughout your weekend long event.
You can learn more about the different SLA permit types and apply HERE.

WORK WITH A LICENSED CATERER OR BAR
Hire a business that holds a ‘Catering Permit’.
Ask your caterer if they are able to provide alcohol for your event. If they are, this is the easiest option. The other option is to contact a bar service that has the ability to serve off premise with use of a catering permit.
A Catering Permit is a one-day permit that authorizes currently licensed on-premises retailers to provide alcoholic beverages at specific, private events located off the premises. The applicant must provide food, in addition to alcoholic beverages at the event.
WORK WITH A MOBILE BAR
Hire a business that holds liquor liability insurance. Apply for a special event permit through the New York SLA
If you are looking to hire a fun mobile bar or bar cart for your wedding with bartending service included, confirm if the bar service holds a liquor permit. Most mobile bars will hold liquor liability insurance only and will require that you arrange a temporary one-day beer and wine permit either on your own, or directly through them. They will most often ask you to arrange alcohol on your own and they will just serve it for you and monitor the consumption of your guests. There are a lot of mixed opinions from these companies around the need for a permit, however the NY SLA does require that events on our premise hold a liquor permit, so you must arrange a special event permit through the SLA either through the mobile bar service you hire, or on your own.
A One-Day Beer and Wine Permit, also known as a Temporary Beer, Wine and Cider Permit, authorizes the sale and consumption of wine, beer or cider at retail for consumption at a gathering for a period of 24 hours. As of April 2024, liquor was added for consumption under this permit.
PROVIDE ALCOHOL YOURSELF & WORK WITH A BARTENDING SERVICE
Secure a special event permit through the New York SLA
You can apply for a special event permit yourself and have beer, wine and cider available for consumption at your event(s). This is a 24 hour license that costs $36 per bar. This means you can stock your own alcohol through a licensed distributor. We do require that you hire a bartender for events over 25 guests to serve alcohol and monitor consumption. Keep in mind that most bartending services do not include setup and breakdown of the bar and do not often provide garnish, ice, mixers, etc. so you will need to arrange for that yourself.
A One-Day Beer and Wine Permit, also known as a Temporary Beer, Wine and Cider Permit, authorizes the sale and consumption of wine, beer or cider at retail for consumption at a gathering for a period of 24 hours. As of April 2024, liquor was added for consumption under this permit.

Alcohol Items of Note

If you are looking to have liquor served at your event, you must work with a business that holds a catering license.
If you are applying for a temporary beer, wine, cider permit you can apply for multiple dates at one time on your application.
You will need to request a landlord authorization form from us in order to apply for a permit.
You can apply for a permit up to 15 days prior to your event.
It may be best to hold off until you have hired your caterer to apply, since only one permit will be issued for the premises per day.
Alcoholic beverages must be purchased from a licensed brewer, winery, or wholesaler ONLY, and not from a retail licensee.
A separate permit is required for each point of sale for each date. The permit must be on display at the event.
