A wedding at The Maples Estate isn’t just a day—it’s an experience.
Life is too short to rush through the moments that matter most.
That's why we create four-day wedding weekends.
We believe meaningful celebrations need something that has become increasingly rare: time.
Time to arrive.
Time to settle in.
Time to gather.
Time to actually experience your wedding instead of simply moving through it.
Nestled in the heart of New York’s Hudson Valley, our private estate wedding venue is designed for you to break free from the traditional wedding mold and immerse yourselves in a personalized, intimate, multi-day celebration.
"One of the things I've learned as a wedding planner is that people rarely remember the details, they remember how they felt. That's why we create enough support and structure that you're free to let go of it and simply experience the weekend."
— Katie, Founder & Creative Director
The Experience
Life is too short to rush through the moments that matter most.
We built The Maples Estate because we wanted to create something we couldn't find anywhere else.
An immersive wedding weekend in Upstate New York where time slows down, people feel at home, and every decision is thoughtfully considered.
For four days and three nights, the estate becomes yours.
Not just a venue where your wedding takes place, but a place where your closest people gather, reconnect, celebrate, and simply spend time together.
Because the most meaningful weekends aren't just remembered for how perfectly they were managed.
They're remembered for how deeply they were lived.
Planning for Presence
Planning isn't about creating more structure, it's about creating enough structure that you're free to let go of it.
Planning at The Maples Estate begins long before we talk about flowers, layouts, or logistics.
First I want to understand who you are.
How you spend your weekends.
The meals you love sharing with friends.
The traditions you want to carry forward.
What feels like home.
These conversations become the foundation for every decision that follows.
While our team manages the timeline, your vendors, and every moving piece behind the scenes, you're free to laugh with your friends, hug your family, actually eat dinner, and fully experience your wedding weekend.
That's the kind of planning we believe in.
The farmhouse is the heart of every wedding weekend. For four days and three nights, it becomes home.
It's where you and your house guests wanders into the kitchen for coffee. Where you casually sit on the veranda before the day begins. Where your wedding party gets ready together. Where conversations continue long after the music ends.
Some of the most meaningful moments of the weekend aren't planned at all, they happen because you finally have the time and space to simply be together.
A hotel gives you a place to sleep.
A home gives you a place to live.
More Than a Place to Stay
Exclusive onsite lodging for your inner circle.
This is a magical wedding destination and Katie & Louis’ calm efficient approach to everything was just what was needed. To be able to stay there for the weekend was a fantastic opportunity for friends and family to unwind and enjoy each other's company.

One Weekend. One Story.
We intentionally host a limited number of weddings each year.
Not because we couldn't host more, because relationships matter to us. By the time your wedding weekend arrives, we've spent months getting to know you, your families, your traditions. We’ve built your vision and set your priorities.
Our team doesn't feel like strangers showing up to work, they feel like people who have been quietly preparing to care for one of the most meaningful weekends of your life.
That's what our couples talk about most after the wedding. Not just how beautiful everything looked, but how supported they felt. How relaxed they were, how they were able to simply live inside the experience.
Wondering What You Can Expect from a Wedding Weekend at The Maples Estate?

Whether you're planning a Hudson Valley wedding, a destination wedding in Upstate New York, or an intimate weekend surrounded by nature, The Maples Estate gives you something that's become increasingly rare.
Time to gather.
Time to celebrate.
Time to slow down.
Because life is too short to rush through the moments that matter most.
