“We had our welcome party here, which was the last stop on a bike brew tour we took with our closest friends and family and it was such a blast! Molly took care of everything, it was set up so nicely and exactly as we had discussed, they went above and beyond to ensure the offerings were gluten free and delicious, and helped us make a custom (and very cute) menu. Our guests loved the space, the food, and the drink. We have loved Stowe cider for years and loved getting to include them in our wedding festivities! Would absolutely recommend!!”

“Choosing this venue was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! From the moment we started planning, Stephanie made us feel welcomed, supported, and truly valued. Stephanie is absolutely amazing- she is quick to communicate, incredibly detail-oriented, enthusiastic, and always open to bringing our ideas to life. Her excitement and genuine care made the planning process so enjoyable and stress-free. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, but what truly sets it apart is the incredible staff behind it. Every detail was handled with care, and we felt confident knowing we were in such good hands. Stephanie and the team went above and beyond to make our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more. We cannot recommend this venue enough!”
