Raphael Winery Venue
So my mom was looking online at vineyards out east and found Raphael Winery. On my previous post I was also referred to Raphael Winery. As of now my parents want my wedding there!! My mom fell in love with it immediately and my dad is pretty much on the same page. Has anyone ever been to a wedding there or are looking to have their wedding there. I feel like at the vineyard sites make it so hard to get wedding information from, but the location looks beautiful from the pictures and all reviews that I have read thus far are outstanding.

I've been there for tastings and its beautiful! We are actually part of their wine club haha they're wine is so good (which is a good thing since you'll have to use their wine for the wedding). The venue itself is gorgeous and I've seen the room they do the weddings in and it's so unique and gorgeous! The venue itself where they do the tastings (which may be where cocktail hour is?) is gorgeous with high ceilings and the circular wine bar is directly in the middle. What's good about them is they also had beer there when we went so maybe you wouldn't have to provide that like other wineries?

My videographer got married there this past September. I believe she had a tent outside. It poured that day, but from the few pics I saw, they had a great day.

Love Raphaels! The wine there is amazing but I'm pretty sure they are expensive from what I remember but I don't have the quote anymore :( I actually emailed them and I remember they emailed back a quote and information pretty quickly. If you can afford it I would say go for it!

I'm pretty sure when we were there last October and asked it was around a 12000-15000 site fee + price per head for catering etc. I love that they had a ballroom so you didn't have to rent tables and chairs ( I don't think) but that site fee sorta killed any interest .. but i didn't actually speak with an event or banquet manager so we may not have gotten super accurate information.

I have done a tasting here and loved it. The quote I got was similar to what the above poster mentioned and just out of our budget. A friend of ours did attend a wedding here and said it was amazing. If you can afford it go for it since the place is beautiful and it sounds like the service is great as well. :)

Re: Raphael Winery Venue
I know someone getting married there this October. They give you the whole place for the whole day so that's why their site fee is $15,000....they are shutting down the place for you. If you can swing it do it. Happy Planning :)

My friend was married there and it's amazing!! The food was so good, the cocktail hours food was awesome so was dinner. She also had a venetian hour, best canollis I ever had. The staff was also great! I just wanted to let you know that Raphael's it's amazing. My photographer did a few weddings there, you can see some pictures on her blog, if you want to see how it looks like for a wedding.
