The Fox Wedding 2024
Folino Estate & Winery was the perfect destination for our wedding. We were going for an Italian rustic atmosphere and they delivered. I recommend it for all seasons. The outside area for cocktail hour is beautiful, as well as, the inside for a winter wedding stands out on its own. The team at Folino's was very helpful through the process. They kept the flow of the wedding perfect and there was no dead time in between. The team also monitored the timelines and did a great job of keeping everything on task.
One thing at Folino's is the setup & take down process. Folino's would like everything on the property the day of the wedding, and off the property that same day. With that in mind, its very hard to have people or family deliver anything the day of the wedding ceremony. We had an offsite ceremony, and we were unable to have any family drop anything off the morning of.
The food at the reception was amazing. The entrees came out hot and delicious! The courses can be long but if you have an upbeat band or DJ to keep everyone entertained... you are golden. They cater to your needs, which is exactly what a groom & bride should have on that special day. I requested a special drink - and they made it to perfection. I was very pleased with food & service from the Folino's team. Mary was so attentive to the head table and the bridal suite.. which is just what you need!
We had a very large wedding, 220.. which is MAX capacity and I thought that everything was handled with such professionalism. Stephanie does a great job of making sure the Bride & Groom are constantly satisfied while monitoring the floor of the room. Emily & Hannah did a great job with making sure the timeline was stuck too and any hiccups that came up last minute were all addressed with the proper people. Was very pleased with the wedding planning team.
Folino's Estate will forever be remembered as our wedding venue & anyone that attended definitely thought it was over the top. They made our special day one to remember! We were so very pleased & happy that we chose Folino's!Folino Estate Vineyard & Winery's reply:

Lara Wedding 06.08.2024
We absolutely loved our wedding at Folino. Since the moment we first had dinner at Folino, we fell in love with the venue and knew we needed to have our wedding here. The grounds of Folino are breathtaking and everyone was in awe of how scenic it was. We were blessed with a picture perfect June day, but even the interior of the venue is just as beautiful.
The staff are beyond accommodating and friendly. They always worked with my husband and I from questions, to a last minute rehearsal dinner. Stephanie, Morgan and Faith were so helpful throughout the whole journey of our wedding planning. Mary was also super sweet and very helpful during our wedding getting anything we needed/ made sure things were going okay for us.
Our guests raved about the experience, the food and the overall service as well. I cannot say enough good things about this venue and Folino as a whole.. and would 10000% recommend them to anyone questioning if they should book here.Folino Estate Vineyard & Winery's reply:

Morgan L. Sent on 05/05/20241000% Recommend!
We love Folino! After a friendly suggestion from my parents (who previously went to an event here), we decided to check out Folino Estate as a possible venue spot. After seeing the beautiful estate and receiving (the start of) excellent communication from the team, we said 'yes' to the venue. From start to finish, the event staff was incredible. Super informative, great communication, etc. A true team of rockstars (shout out to Morgan, Faith, and Stephany!). We live in FL and the team made it so easy to work with and plan from states away. Food tasting and wine tasting for the wedding was fantastic. Use of bridal suite during the wedding day was wonderful and the team checked in throughout to make sure we were all good. The ceremony and reception seemed to come together flawlessly - loved seeing the final vision come to life. We appreciate the team accommodating our 'surprise' in the evening (Irish dancers!) as well. We heard nothing but wonderful things from our guests about everything. Would 1000% recommend Folino for any event, especially weddings. At least go and check them out for some delicious food and great wines :) -

My husband and I had our first date at Folino Estate two years ago. When it was time to book our wedding venue, we knew there was no other choice but to have it here. The service was excellent from start to finish. Morgan, our Wedding Coordinator, was exceptional. She was very communicative, took charge, and made sure our day went off without a hitch. The venue is gorgeous and made us feel like we were in an Italian castle. The food was spectacular, we especially loved the Beef Tenderloin with Red Wine butter. We met Mary, our server, when we first started coming to Folino Estate. We were overjoyed she agreed to be a part of the staff that day because of her commitment to excellent service. She is very attentive and so kind. We would recommend Folino Estate to any couple getting married who wants a first class wedding experience.Folino Estate Vineyard & Winery's reply:
Dear Kate,
Thank you so much for sharing pictures from your special day! We appreciate this amazing review and are honored you chose Folino Estate Winery for another special milestone.
We are so happy to hear you enjoyed our service from start to finish and are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your Wedding Coordinator, Morgan, she truly is wonderful!
We hope to see you for your first anniversary and we look forward to making many more memories with you! -

Our wedding was 10.22.23 and it was beautiful! This venue is gorgeous for that fairytale rustic wedding! I highly highly recommend this venue. It’s beautifully designed, service was excellent with the staff and very engaging. Our wedding coordinator, Nicole, was very professional and personable. She is very friendly, answers your questions quickly, and is very knowledgeable. She knows her jobs well! The communication was excellent and this was very important to us when doing our wedding planning. Honestly , this venue made our wedding planning easy when it came to deciding food choices, placing guests at tables, and drink choices. If you are looking for that beautiful rustic venue with amazing service then this is a perfect choice!Folino Estate Vineyard & Winery's reply:

My wedding day was more than I could have ever imagined, thanks to Folino! Starting with the venue itself, it is absolutely breathtaking, especially as the sun sets and turns the sky orange over the vineyard. My guests were RAVING! Next, the staff was AMAZING! Our point of contact, Nicole went above and beyond. She was always super easy to contact and made sure everything went according to plan on the big day. She made it virtually stress-free, so I was able to have the best day with all my guests. All other staff was extremely courteous and accommodating, as well. I really can’t say enough good things about them. Lastly, the food was phenomenal! You will not regret booking with Folino. They make dreams come true!Folino Estate Vineyard & Winery's reply:
Hi Danielle,

We had our wedding at Folino Estate on 12/10/22 and it was absolute perfection. We booked Folino Estate sight unseen (other than a video tour that we watched on YouTube), as we live in Florida. This was probably our riskiest wedding move, but we made the absolute best decision. The pictures and videos are gorgeous, but we were absolutely blow away at how pretty and unique Folino is in person. Our vision was for a classy and fun Christmas-y wedding, and Folino was just a dream. Their Christmas decor throughout the estate was gorgeous and the decor in the venue space exceeded our expectations. We worked with Nicole, and she was so kind, organized and helpful. She was quick at responding to our questions and worked with us to add a few unique touches to the space. Our guests are still raving about the food and the drinks and just the overall beauty of the venue. The bartenders were so much fun and made exceptional drinks, and the waitstaff was so kind and patient with us and our guests. If you want to have the wedding of your dreams, Folino is the place. We cannot say enough positive things about our wedding and feel so lucky to have stumble upon this true gem!Folino Estate Vineyard & Winery's reply:
Hi Alexandria,
We are so glad your wedding was everything you imagined and more! Your kind words about Nicole have been passed along.
Even though you live in Florida, we hope Folino Estate can become part of your wedding anniversary tradition. We hope to see you again soon.
Congratulations and sending all the love to you and your husband. -

Amazing!
We had our wedding here on June 17, 2022 and I cannot recommend this venue more. EVERYONE in attendance commented on how absolutely beautiful everything was inside and out. It was the most gorgeous day and our guests enjoyed being able to conveniently walk inside the reception to the patio into the vineyard throughout the night.
Everyone commented on how excellent the food was (a lot of positive comments on the steak tenderloin)!
Our wedding coordinator was Nicole and she was SO attentive and accommodating to everything we wanted and made sure every detail was how we wanted. She was responsive to emails (I emailed a lot changing my mind about things) and she always answered me in a timely fashion. The room looked amazing and she brought all of our visions to life.
During the day, we had one of the servers assigned to the bridal suite and omg, she was amazing. She followed me throughout the night making sure I was eating and getting food, made sure I always had a drink in my hand and was super sweet and helpful throughout the whole night.
Things could not have gone any better. Everyone had an amazing time and if I could do it all again, we would!!! Everyone at Folino was so kind and sweet; we had the best time. -

Allison S. Sent on 11/30/2021Beautiful, incredible, MAGICAL venue - they make dreams come true!! 🥰
Folino was the most beautiful, special, elegant venue to host our dream fall wedding!!! Alexis and Pat were there from the beginning in 2019. They made rescheduling our wedding a seamless task during the COVID pandemic. Leading up to our wedding in November 2021, Alexis helped us with all of the details and was extremely communicative with us and responsive to our many requests and customizations. We customized our menu to be “fall themed” (many items off of Folino’s Thanksgiving menu) and Folino had no problem doing this for us, as well as ordering the signature drinks we requested. They were SO attentive to allergies and preferences too (gluten free, dairy free etc.) Folino was even able to do our fall menu tasting for us, during their spring season! On our wedding day, all the fall colors were out and the weather was perfect. It was so beautiful for our guests for a day at the winery, and we couldn’t be more grateful to Alexis and her assistant as well as all of the team at Folino for executing our day flawlessly. Thank you!!!! -

Olivia Sent on 11/07/2021Magical day and experience
Sooo many of our guests asked us “how did you find this place!!?” We are from south Jersey and made the trip up to Folino to tour over a year ago. As soon as we pulled up, we looked at each other and just knew it was the place for our wedding. As soon as we saw the ballroom, I got goosebumps! We just had our wedding 11/5/2021 and it was MAGICAL! The venue and the grounds truly speak for themselves and the beauty of the place meant we needed very litttle decor/ flowers. Even the bridal suite was super cute! Alexis was super communicative and willing to answer so many questions and requests. I love that the location is owned by a local family- you can just feel the love and detail put into the design of the place. The scenery over the hills and vineyard was beautiful for our sunset ceremony/cocktail hour. Even our photographer said that every little nook and cranny of the venue offered such a beautiful photo-op! The food was good, the outdoor fire pits and lantern lights were gorgeous and everything was just perfect! The only suggestion I would make would be to make sure you know where your groom and groomsmen will go if you are not doing a first look. Because the venue is a little smaller, it was difficult to coordinate how we would all take pictures so that my husband wouldn’t see me pre-ceremony! I also would suggest making sure the groom and groomsmen are just as taken care of as the bride. We had a suite with cheese board and wine but my husband said they kind of just hung around the barrel room and weren’t offered anything to drink or anything. Honestly not a big deal to us at all in the grand scheme of things. I would recommend this little slice of PA heaven to anyone regardless -

Absolutely stunning venue
Our wedding at Folino Estate was so beautiful. I am excited we booked this venue; we have received so many compliments about the food, service, and location! All of the staff at our wedding was so attentive and kind. Our outdoor ceremony was perfect, the vines were lush at the end of August. The reception area is so beautiful that we barely had to decorate! Alexis was our coordinator and she did a fantastic job helping us plan our day. She was very responsive and assisted us through the craziness of covid. We can’t stop looking at photos and are so pleased with how the day went. Thank you so much to Alexis and the rest of the staff at Folino! -

he most friendly and helpful staff I could have ever asked for- easy to work with and just THE most beautiful venue. Our wedding of 130 people went off without a hitch - and I felt like the staff and Marla and her team were really just there for me- if I needed water or snacks or just encouragement that everyone was having a great time. The food is DELICIOUS and it was truly the most beautiful wedding we could have asked for! Thank you thank you thank you! -

Amazing Venue and Staff
We could not have chosen a better winery to have our wedding! Alexis, their wedding coordinator, and their staff were amazing through the whole process. From drying the chairs after a bit of rain before the outdoor ceremony began, to providing amazing food, to allowing us to bring our horse and carriage up, it was just an amazing time there! I highly recommend it. -

We had our wedding on 6/25/21 at Folino Estate and it was AMAZING! As a pandemic couple, it was extremely difficult to reschedule an entire wedding but Folino made the process painless. We booked with Pat after our tour. Truth be told, it was the only venue we visited and booked it the day we got back from getting engaged in Napa. As wine lovers, Folino seemed like the perfect venue. The venue is tucked back in the middle of nowhere. On our wedding day, it felt like our own wine country oasis.
Throughout the planning (and re-planning) process, we worked with Alexis. She is so kind, friendly, communicative, and trustworthy. I wouldn’t change a thing with how she handled the planning and execution of our day.
We opted for the cafe bar and late night pizza bar add ons. These were a MUST HAVE. After dancing and drinking the delicious wine all night, the pizza was a godsend. Our guests devoured every single slice!
On the day of our wedding, my husband and I felt like royalty. We did not want or need anything and when we did, our servers were right there to grab it.
I wouldn’t change a single thing about our wedding day. The food and staff exceeded our expectations by far!!! If you decide to book Folino Estate for your wedding, you won’t be disappointed 🖤 -

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Folino Estate! My now husband and I wanted a winery wedding and after doing some research online, we found Folino. When we visited, we fell in love with the gorgeous venue and delicious wine. We originally booked for March 2020, but the pandemic forced multiple reschedulings and the staff was extremely supportive the entire way. We finally had our dream wedding in September 2021 and it will be a day I never forget. My friends and family are still talking about how beautiful it was and how they loved Folino Estate. My guests loved everything from the picturesque views to the food and wines. The staff was amazing and we appreciated all their hard work into hosting our event. My husband and I have already ordered a few shipments of the wine since the wedding. We look forward to going back and visiting soon. Again, I highly recommend visiting Folino Estateas an option for a wedding. -

Our wedding was on June 28, 2019 at Folino Estate and it was the best and easiest decision we made for our wedding day. As soon as we walked in, we just knew it was right for us with the atmosphere, beautiful grounds with the vines, and the most perfect ceremony spot with the gazebo. It looks like it’s straight out of Italy.
I cannot thank our wedding coordinator, Nicole, and the staff enough for all they did to make me feel stress free about everything and all of the details that were a part of our wedding. Everything could not have gone better! We still can’t believe it all happened so fast. We had random strong wind and a storm scare during our ceremony, but nothing skipped a beat and all went smoothly. My husband and I had so much fun and it truly felt like a dream! Our bridal party and guests said they enjoyed it all the whole evening! I don’t think there was a moment I didn’t have the biggest smile on my face.
We received so many comments already about how attentive the staff were making sure glasses were filled, everyone had their food, and how quickly they took empty plates. As the bride and groom, we were so busy, but always had a full glass and any food we wanted at any time was ready for us at our table. Our guests also spoke highly of the food during cocktail hour, dinner, and everyone was obsessed with the dessert bar!
I am so beyond happy and feel blessed to have had the opportunity to have one of the most important days of our life at a gorgeous venue like Folino Estate.Folino Estate Vineyard & Winery's reply:

Amber Sent on 06/21/2019For a unique and romantic venue, look no further.
My husband and I got married at Folino Estate on 6/1/19 and couldn't have asked for anything more from the venue/the staff. When we went to look at Folino as a potential wedding venue in Summer 2018, we immediately knew that we had found our spot. The ceremony location in the vineyards was just perfect and exactly what we were looking for. We put down a deposit that very day. Throughout the process, we worked with Amanda who was very responsive and quickly answered any questions that I had as a new bride ensuring that my mind was at ease in preparation for the big day. Unfortunately, life happens and Amanda left Folino a little over a week before our big day. Obviously, as any bride would be, I was concerned whether Nicole and her team would be up to date on everything that I had discussed with Amanda over the past year. Nicole quickly picked up on my concern (from just one e-mail), which resulted in Andrea Folino personally calling me to help answer any questions that I may had and reinstate that they were prepared to help make my day perfect. She wasn't lying. Nicole, Crystal, and Marie went above and beyond on my wedding day to ensure everything was setup properly, that things ran smoothly, and that not only were the guests satisfied, but that myself and my husband were OK at all times throughout the day. I also can't praise Miranda enough. From the moment we arrived at Folino for the first look and pictures, she brought out a fruit tray/wine and followed up the entire night to see if we needed any refills. She also tracked me down multiple times throughout the evening to see if there was anything that she could get for me. For anyone looking for a unique and beautiful venue for their wedding, look no further. We can't thank the Folino staff enough. With their help, our wedding day went off without a hitch and was just perfect!Folino Estate Vineyard & Winery's reply:
Hello Amber,
Thank you so much for this thoughtful and kind review. Your understanding and patient attitude during the entire process made planning easy and flawless, and we cannot thank you enough for your cooperation. Our Wedding Staff, Andrea included, are dedicated, professional, and passionate about ensuring every wedding is perfectly executed, and a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience for every couple. It sounds like those expectations were exceeded, and we are more than happy that we could provide an unforgettable day for you and your guests. Your pictures are beautiful, and it was an honor being able to be a part of your big day and watch you and your husband enjoy yourselves as a newly married couple. Please remember that we are always here for you; as a Folino Estate couple, you are special to us, and are like family here. We hope that you will return to enjoy a special meal like the one from your wedding night in our Restaurant, or celebrate anniversaries with a bottle of wine on our patio.

Our Perfect Wedding
Wedding planning can be daunting, but when it’s right, it’s right. Driving in from I-78, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but when we crested the hill leading up to the entrance we were instantly blown away. Once on the immaculately manicured grounds, the attention to detail set Folino apart from anywhere else we’d seen. The beautiful stonework on the exterior, the tables and fountain in the piazza, and the arched ceiling resembling the inside of a barrel leading to the event space were just a few of the things that stood out. After a quick dinner and sampling a few world class wines, we were ready to book.
Planning went so smoothly. The near instant feedback made us feel like the most important couple in the world, and went a long way to curb any jitters. Every detail had been figured out for us well in advance and left us with nothing to worry about.
When our wedding day arrived, the staff surpassed our already high expectations. The constant personalized support from the moment the venue opened until the last guest departed was incredible. As the couple getting married, we were pulled in every direction, but the staff made sure that we did not miss a thing. A tray of appetizers was delivered to our head table along with drinks. Entrees were kept warm while we greeted family and friends. We had guests describe our wedding as “as perfect as a wedding from a movie”, and I can’t disagree. The closest thing to a hiccup that occurred on our special day was how quickly the guests consumed the first batch of wine slushies, but that went unnoticed as a second batch was immediately whipped up.
We cannot thank every member of the Folino Estate team enough. We look forward to many anniversary dinners in the restaurant.
