    (Review pt 1/2)

    If we could shout our recommendation of The Maples Estate and Katie from the rooftops, we would. Hopefully this review is the next best thing. Choosing The Maples Estate was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding, and we can say with complete confidence that that is because of Katie and Louis. They are genuinely two of the loveliest, kindest, most thoughtful people on the planet, and from the very beginning, we knew we were in the best possible hands. Our very first conversation with Katie was a two-hour call where we told her all about ourselves, our relationship, and the wedding we were dreaming of. She listened to everything, and the design deck she created afterward could not have felt more authentically us. Somehow, the wedding we had spent an entire year fantasizing about came out exactly as we had pictured it - which feels impossible to say even now. Katie and her team were so willing to make our wildest ideas happen, from having a coffee hour instead of a traditional cocktail hour to doing a T-shirt toss instead of a bouquet toss. No idea felt too unusual and no challenge felt too big. And somehow, despite planning a wedding for an entire year, we were never stressed. Not once. All year long, friends and family would ask us how stressful wedding planning was, and we genuinely had no idea what they were talking about because we were having so much fun. Even on the wedding weekend, when it rained, we were not worried because we knew Katie had everything handled. The estate and grounds themselves are breathtaking. Every inch of The Maples feels intentional, beautiful, and somehow perfectly imperfect in the most magical way. But what made it truly priceless for us was being able to spend Thursday through Sunday there and let our wedding become an entire weekend rather than just a single day. It was worth every penny and then some. We got to see both sides of our parents sitting together in the living room late Thursday night, just chatting. We watched our brothers and bridal party jump into the pool Friday night because nobody was watching the clock or worrying about where they had to be next. We got to wake up together, spend our days together, celebrate together, and simply exist in the same beautiful place with the people we love. Those completely unplanned moments ended up being some of our favorite memories of the entire wedding weekend, and they are something you simply cannot get from a traditional one-day wedding venue. The rain is actually one of the moments we will remember forever. We had practiced our rehearsal in multiple locations in case of bad weather, but Katie knew how much we had dreamed of having it under the trees. Rather than automatically moving us into the pavilion, she encouraged us morning of to have it outside and told us how beautiful it would be even in the rain. And then, as if The Maples had a little magic of its own, the clouds literally parted and the sun came out as we walked down the aisle. It was unbelievable. The estate gave us the incredible privilege of having our families and some of our bridal party stay with us for the weekend. Being able to wake up, spend the day, get married, and then end the night with all of our friends piled into the bunk room is something we will treasure forever. In fact, we would move into The Maples permanently if Katie and Louis would let us. (Please!)

    Review pt 2/2

    One of the most beautiful things that came out of the weekend was watching our friends become friends with each other. People who had been complete strangers before our wedding are now flying to visit each other without even needing us to be there. What more could you ask for? The Maples gave everyone the space to relax, connect, laugh, and actually be together for an entire weekend - and that is something we never could have created anywhere else. What makes The Maples even more special is the community Katie has built around it. The relationships she has formed with people throughout the town and upstate are priceless, and they became such an important part of our wedding experience. These aren't just vendors on a preferred-vendor list—they are incredible people who genuinely care. We sent our wedding guests to Middleburgh Coffee Company during the weekend for coffee, and the owner, Dasha, hand-delivered honey from her bees to us the day after our wedding as a thank-you. In what world does that happen?! Rob from Rob's Roasts sent bags of coffee to our apartment before the wedding so we could taste different roasts and choose what we wanted. Brian from the Dumpling Wagon let us sample everything during one of our planning meetings with Katie. Paloma, our florist, absolutely blew us away - we were genuinely speechless the first time we saw what she had created at the reception, and Katie's vision for the pavilion was pure magic. And the care didn't stop when the wedding started. Our bar stayed open an extra 15 minutes just for us. At our family croquet party and welcome party the day before, Richard from Bars Without Boundaries stayed open for the entire time, foregoing our scheduled 3 hour break and would literally come out and hand-deliver drinks to us in the middle of a croquet game. Our photographer, Shelby, stayed an entire extra hour because she wanted to capture our T-shirt toss and sent us previews that same night. These little things might sound small, but they are exactly what made the entire weekend feel so unbelievably special. We had so many guests tell us that it was the best and most authentic wedding they had ever attended. That word - authentic - means so much to us because that was exactly what we wanted. We wanted a wedding that felt like us, and Katie somehow understood that from our very first conversation. We would not change a single thing. If you are considering The Maples Estate, choose it. Choose Katie and Louis. You will have the most beautiful, joyful, completely personal wedding imaginable, and you will get to actually enjoy every second of it. We cannot recommend them highly enough. Our wedding weekend was truly utter magic, and we will be forever grateful to Katie, Louis, their incredible team, and the entire community they've built around The Maples for giving us the best weekend of our lives.

    Everything was Perfect

    We got married at The Maples Estate in August, and it was truly perfect. Katie and Louis provide an exceptional upstate New York wedding experience with incredible attention to detail, creativity, and care. From the first site visit through the entire three-day wedding weekend, everything felt thoughtful, seamless, and completely customized to us. The property is stunning and private, with beautiful spaces for each part of the celebration—from the ceremony and cocktail hour to the reception and late-night moments around the fire pit. The on-site house made the weekend even more special by allowing relaxed time with family and friends. The planning support, trusted vendor recommendations, and day-of coordination were outstanding, allowing us to fully enjoy our wedding without stress. If you’re looking for a venue in Schoharie, NY that offers a true wedding weekend experience with a compassionate, professional team, The Maples Estate is exceptional. We couldn’t recommend it more.

    Where your wedding dreams come true

    As actors and fellow artists, working side-by-side with Katie didn’t even feel like work, it felt like play. Katie listened and collaborated with us, sharing her own inspired visions and ideas with passion and devotion to her craft. We looked forward to each meeting, knowing we were in safe hands with someone who valued both our creativity and our religious requirements. She was an immediate friend whom we knew we could trust. We fell in love with The Maples Estate the moment we set foot on the property, and it wasn’t just because of Katie’s warm, welcoming embrace. We were enchanted by the natural beauty of the estate. From the vibrant buzz of the wildflowers to the rustic charm of the historic guest house, from the serene creek and ceremonial tree grove. We daydreamed over the lifelong memories we would create with our loved ones that we will forever cherish. We wouldn’t trade our wedding weekend at The Maples Estate for anything in this world. What Katie and Louis have created is truly a magical experience. On our wedding day, we awoke among the beautiful grounds, filled with both excitement and confidence, knowing we were in the best of hands with Katie, Louis, and their incredibly attentive staff. Throughout the day, they remained calm and collected, allowing us to be fully relaxed and present. Our wedding at The Maples Estate was the most beautiful, memorable, and vibrant weekend of our lives. With Katie and Louis, we know it will be yours too.
