Asessippi Vine Chapel
The Vine Chapel is our signature ceremony space and the centerpiece of Asessippi Weddings. This timber-framed structure, set among the trees with sweeping views of the valley, is a romantic choice for weddings in any season.
The Vine Chapel accommodates up to 250 guests for a ceremony and up to 80 for a reception.
Ceremony and Reception Locations for Every Season
Stardust
An intimate outdoor reception space lit by bistro lights, crisp linens, and the night sky. A romantic choice for small gatherings.
By The River
A peaceful, picturesque location in the historic Asessippi townsite. Vintage structures, a grand maple tree, and the flowing Shell River create a timeless setting for ceremonies and photographs.
Sugar Shacks
A warm, cedar-wrapped reception space with open rafters, a cozy fireplace, and an optional outdoor firepit. Perfect for winter weddings or autumn evenings.
Open Air Tents
Celebrate in the fresh air with a tent set up in the courtyard, along the riverside, near the beach, or overlooking the valley. We coordinate lighting, dance floors, and everything you need for an outdoor reception.
Winter Weddings
A winter wedding at Asessippi is like stepping into a storybook. Snow-covered hills and frosted trees frame your photos, and the crisp air makes every moment feel fresh and exciting. Guests can sip hot chocolate or mulled wine, warm up by an outdoor firepit, and enjoy the beauty of the valley in its quiet, sparkling season.
Whether you choose a fireside reception in Sugar Shacks or a snow-kissed ceremony in the Vine Chapel, winter here is pure romance.
