Introduction
Some weddings feel less like an event and more like a really good summer evening among the people you love most.
Haley Magee and Matt Robinson’s sage and wildflower wedding at Zorvino Vineyards on June 12, 2026 was exactly that. Wildflowers gathered loose in amber bud vases, sage green runners over ivory linens, coral and cream blooms spilling across the sweetheart table, and a four-tier cake crowned with a green truck cake topper reading “ROBINSON.” Add their dog Cayde walking the aisle as ring bearer and a prime rib birthday tradition shared between the bride and her dad, and you have a celebration that could only have belonged to this couple.
For 141 guests in Sandown, New Hampshire, it was a warm, joyful, deeply personal night.
The Setting: Zorvino in Full June Bloom
June at Zorvino Vineyards is the property at its most alive. The 80 acres run deep green, the vineyard rows stretch toward a long summer horizon, and the outdoor patio — shaded by its pergola and burgundy umbrellas — opens onto the kind of New Hampshire evening that makes guests linger far past when they meant to leave.
Haley and Matt used the whole canvas — the venue, wedding suite, gazebo, and outdoor patio. Their ceremony took place at the gazebo, with cocktail hour flowing onto the patio afterward, that beloved Zorvino experience available only May through October.

The First Look: Before the Ceremony, Before the Crowd
Haley shared a First Look with her father before the ceremony — a private moment between the two of them before anyone else saw her. She and Matt were captured across the Zorvino grounds by photographer Marina Z, the vineyard rows in full leaf behind them.
Haley wore a fitted lace gown with a square neckline and a soft train; Matt, a deep forest-green suit with an ivory tie. Her bouquet was pure summer — coral, cream, and butter-yellow blooms gathered loose and wild, with zinnias, roses, snapdragons, and trailing greenery.
Fun Fact: First look moments like this allow for couples and bridal parties to participate more in the celebration later on, as they get to share these private moments for capturing memories prior to the guests arrival.
The Ceremony: Vows at the Gazebo & a Four-Legged Ring Bearer
Beneath Zorvino’s gazebo, with the vineyard stretching out behind them, Haley and Matt exchanged their vows. Their friend Kevin Smith officiated, giving the ceremony the warmth that only comes from being married by someone who truly knows you.
The wedding party was a full one — five bridesmaids in sea moss green, five groomsmen in tan suits, and three flower girls: Maibel, Violet, and Ruby. Natalie stood as Maid of Honor and Nate as Best Man. But the show-stealer walked in on four legs: the couple’s dog, Cayde, served as ring bearer.

The Details: Sage, Coral & Wildflowers
The palette Haley and Matt chose — greens, whites, and coral — ran through every corner of the reception, and Ford Flowers brought it to life with a loose, gathered, wildflower sensibility that suited the couple perfectly.
Guest tables were dressed with sage green runners over ivory linens, silver charger plates, wood slab bases, and clusters of amber and green bud vases holding roses, snapdragons, zinnias, and dried accents. Hand-lettered wooden table numbers and floating candles finished each setting, and a small favor box waited at every place.
The sweetheart table stood before the venue’s brick fireplace, flanked by two dramatic wildflower ground arrangements — peonies, roses, snapdragons, and fern spilling across the floor — beneath a mantel lined with eucalyptus garland and candles. A simple “Mr & Mrs” sign marked their seats.

The Feast: A Reserva Menu & a Birthday Tradition
Haley and Matt chose Zorvino’s Reserva Wedding Package, and it delivered from the first bite.
Cocktail hour opened with the Tuscan Display — imported and domestic cheeses, charcuterie, spinach and artichoke dip, fresh breads with dipping oils — alongside four passed hors d’oeuvres: Asian beef skewers, coconut chicken with pineapple chutney, scallops wrapped in bacon, and spinach and cheese arancini.
Dinner opened with the Zorvino Salad — candied pecans, apples, goat cheese, and apple cider vinaigrette — before guests chose between Chicken Piccata, Slow-Roasted Prime Rib au jus, or a Stuffed Bell Pepper for the vegans.
And here’s a detail we loved: Haley and her father, Bob, share a birthday tradition built around a big double cut of prime rib — so the kitchen prepared special double cuts just for the two of them. A tradition, honored on the wedding day, at the family table. That’s exactly the kind of thing Zorvino loves to make happen.
At 10 PM, the late-night French Fry Station rolled out — waffle fries, steak fries, and sweet potato fries with every topping — for a room that had been dancing for hours.
The Cake: Jacques Pastries
Jacques Pastries created a striking four-tier cake with a combed vertical buttercream texture, dressed with cascading clusters of white roses, pink lisianthus, and coral accents. On top: a green silhouette cake topper of a couple and a pickup truck, reading “ROBINSON” — playful, personal, and a perfect signature for the night. It stood on a glowing barrel-top display and was served with a coffee and tea buffet.

The Music & First Dance: Main Event
Main Event’s Brian Lafferty ran the evening, and the timber-framed hall — strung with warm bulbs and glowing along the balcony rail — made a beautiful backdrop for it. From introductions and the first dance through five toasts and speeches, parent dances, and a group photo, Brian kept the room moving until the bar closed at 11 PM.

The Photography: Marina Z
Marina Z captured the day from the afternoon First Look through the dancing. The Zorvino grounds in June gave the lens everything: the gazebo, the vineyard rows, the patio at golden hour, and the string lights glowing over the dance floor.
