The Sugar Maple is a one-of-a-kind venue that gave us the most memorable wedding experience imaginable. Adrienne created a cozy, intimate space in the backroom that was simply breathtaking. We said our vows there, surrounded by friends and family with beers in hand. The reception, held in the bar area, was lined with her incredible artwork—one of which now hangs proudly in our home. The beer experience at the Sugar Maple was unmatched.
