A Zorvino vineyards wedding in Sandown New Hampshire is one of the best places to have an all inclusive full-service wedding celebration in New England. As a New England wedding photographer, I know that finding a venue that blends gorgeous outdoor views with practical indoor spaces for whatever New England weather throws at you is key.
With Zorvino Vineyards, amazing fall foliage and scenery along with rustic yet modern buildings, come together to make it feel like the perfect fall oasis. For Kelly and Bobby, it was an amazing day with fantastic weather; the perfect Zorvino Vineyards Wedding!
What Makes A Zorvino Vineyards Wedding Venue Different
The working vineyard is set on 80 acres of beautiful New England Hardwood Forest and vineyard. While you can come and enjoy the vineyard as a guest, they also host weddings and private events. Zorvino is a full service wedding venue so from getting ready to your last dance, you can spend all of your time in one venue and rely on them for your catering and several other key parts of the day.
They offer a variety of packages at different investment levels and add ons that allow wedding couples to maximize and enjoy as much of the property as they can. From additions that include getting ready suites for each half of the couple, to their outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour spaces, they have it all!
How much does a Zorvino Vineyard Wedding Cost?
Zorvino hosts one wedding per day and the basic wedding package includes 5 hours of venue rental, on-site parking, a dedicated wedding planner and use of the expansive grounds.
The venue rates vary depending on the day of the week and in season vs peak seasons and off season booking times. For example, a Thursday in May would be $1,000 Venue rental rate and require with a $7500 minimum, while a Saturday in August would be a $7,000 venue rental and have an $18,000 minimum spend. There are really options for every price point if you’re willing to be a little bit flexible with the season and day of the week.
The minimum spend can be accomplished with one of three different food and beverage packages from 112/pp to 194/pp.
Additional add-ons include: A private primary getting ready suite for $750. This allows you to come in at 9:00 on the day of the wedding and you can add food and beverage service. There’s a secondary suite available for $500 with couches, gaming consoles and a TV. This suite opens at 12:00pm.
First look time can be added for a nominal $250 and provides an additional two hours on the grounds prior to the reception and the on site ceremony fee is $850.

Why a CT Photographer says have a Zorvino Winery Wedding
As a Connecticut Wedding Photographer I love the chance to travel to other places in New England. I love recommending Zorvino to couples because the high quality service and how versatile it is. The staff are attentive and thoughtful, and the in house catering is delicious! On top of that with all the gorgeous scenery and the way that they upkeep it, the experience is top notch for couples, their guests AND their vendors. Zorvino Vineyards looks after all of their guests.
Additionally, we all know New England weather can be unpredictable. Thankfully, Zorvino has ample indoor space to compliment their outdoor patio and ceremony areas in case of inclement weather. But overall if you want a venue that focuses on ensuring you have a great day and so do your guests, this is it.
Here’s the TL DR of all the photographic opportunities:
- The rows of grapes that make up the vineyard are the centre of the farm. They make for iconic romantic photos.
- Zorvino’s alpaca enclosure creates a feeling of whimsy and fun during wedding days. Guests notice them and smile every time, and couples enjoy capturing a photo with these pets. They are a little unexpected joy!
- The pond, which is tucked away toward the back of the grounds is great for family photos. You can have wide-angle pictures capturing the water’s reflections or up-close portraits of couples walking by the pond. Even at midday with high sun, an experienced photographer can use off camera flash to ensure great lighting. The golden light from the setting sun makes the water views extra special during golden hour too.
- The colourful red trolley is iconic to Zorvino. It gives a fun look into the past and makes for amazing photos, whether you pose in front or or actually get inside. It adds an extra touch of unique character to a Zorvino Vineyards wedding. Wedding parties love it.
- The outdoor gazebo is a must for fall ceremonies. It feels like a fairy tale overlooking the vines.
- When the sun goes down, the red barn is my favorite for night portraits because of the lights they decorate it with.
- Getting creative with photos can be done on the second-story balcony, facing the event area. From this balcony, you can easily photograph first dances and wide shots of all the guests on the dance floor. It is great if the couple wants a full group shot of ALL the guests!
- Just generally speaking the sunset light that bathes the property in a literally glorious golden glow is drool worthy. It’s amazing!
Thinking About Zorvino for Your Day?
If you want your wedding to feel rustic with amazing scenery so little to no decor is required, and your focus is on your guests having the time of their lives, Zorvino is the place to consider. You go effortlessly from getting ready to your first look or ceremony, followed by cocktail hour just below the ceremony space, and then inside for your reception. This also means you can make the most of your wedding photography, videography and content creation packages because you are not spending any of the contracted package time on travel which is a great bonus of an all inclusive location.
If these are important to you:
- Beautiful sprawling ground that are well maintained
- The option to have an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour
- A relaxed feel for your guests that’s still elevated
- A venue that you can return to year after year to celebrate your anniversary (it’s a functioning vineyard!)
- Privacy that feels unmatched even though you’re not too far from a main highway so it is easily accessible
- A venue that lets your DJ or band play nice and loud
- A venue where you and your guests feel comfortable and you don’t have to travel between getting ready, your ceremony and reception
then, Zorvino Vineyards should be a top contender if you said yes to all the above; Beautiful natural surroundings and well-designed spaces keep everything fresh and modern but the private feel even with so much space is such a great atmosphere. As a photographer, I promise your wedding photos will be as amazing as the memories you make here.
