“the best party of our lives”
— Alanna, The Maples Estate Bride
No Banquet Halls. No Ballrooms. No Cookie Cutter Weddings.
“One of the things I've learned as a wedding planner is that people rarely remember the details. They remember how the weekend felt.”
That's why we create four-day wedding weekends in gorgeous Upstate New York where you have the time to gather, slow down, and simply be with the people you love. With your wedding planner included (that’s me, Katie) you’ll have all the support you need to immerse yourself in the weekend and truly experience your celebration.
We’re an intentionally unconventional private estate where creativity, comfort, connection and really good hospitality are at the heart of everything we do.
Included in your wedding weekend package:
✔ Four days of private estate access
✔ Full-service planning + creative direction
✔ Your entire weekend thoughtfully produced
✔ Three nights at the farmhouse for your inner circle

Meet your wedding planner.
Hey, I’m Katie - founder of The Maples Estate, your full service wedding planner and creative director.
“The longer I do this, the more I'm convinced my work isn't really about weddings. It's about creating the conditions for people to live inside the moments that matter most.”
That's why I ask so many questions before we get planning.
How do you spend your weekends? What meals do you love to eat? Where do you travel? What feels like home? What traditions do you want to carry forward? Which ones are you ready to leave behind?
Those answers tell me far more than a Pinterest board of collected images ever could.
Together, we'll shape a wedding weekend that reflects who you are, not who you think you're supposed to be. One that's thoughtful, personal, relaxed, joyful, and unmistakably yours.
I'll carry the details, guide the planning process, and create enough structure that you're free to let go of it. So when your weekend arrives, you're not thinking about what's next, you're fully present with the people who matter most to you. Because that's what I believe weddings are really about. Not filling seats or following traditions. Not just creating a beautiful event.
Creating an experience that feels deeply human.
So, let your wildest dreams escape you, allow them to become your reality.
