Denise Maglio and Tony Hampshire were married at Zorvino Vineyards on Friday, July 17, 2026, on a bright, warm midsummer evening — and if you want to understand the whole day in one detail, look at who stood up with them.
There was no traditional wedding party. Beside Denise and Tony were their four children: Paige, Ryan, Katrina, and Anthony, with Paige’s boyfriend Amar rounding out the group. This was a wedding that had already been a family for a long time, and everything about the beautiful evening said so — right down to the couple choosing to stand at the gazebo alone for their vows, with the kids in the very front row.
The First Look
Before the ceremony, Denise and Tony shared a first look out on the property. This moment belonged just to the two of them, captured by Garone Photography.
Denise carried a small bouquet of blue and white blooms, and the photographs moved from the vineyard rows in full July leaf-out to the garden paths, with the gazebo rising in the background.
The Ceremony at the Gazebo
The ceremony took place at the gazebo, set among Zorvino’s layered summer gardens — deep green foliage, a wine-red smoke bush in full color, and hanging baskets trailing from the eaves. Guests sat close on the lawn, and Denise and Tony stood together at the front, just the two of them, as Reverend Melanie Towle led the vows.
Cocktail Hour & the Grand Crû Package
Zorvino’s outdoor cocktail space runs May through October, and a warm July evening on the patio — vineyard on one side, fire pits and red umbrellas overhead — is close to the best case for it. Denise and Tony’s signature red sangria went out as guests came off the lawn, alongside a Tuscan grazing table of Italian cured meats, imported and domestic cheeses, spinach dip, crudités with Boursin, seasonal fruit, marinated mushrooms, and olives.
This is a good place to talk about what they chose, because it’s the top of what we offer. Denise and Tony booked the Grand Crû Wedding Package — the pinnacle of the Zorvino experience. The clearest difference is the bar: where other packages start with beer and wine and let you upgrade, Grand Crû builds a full open bar into the package for the length of the reception. It brings five passed hors d’oeuvres — arancini, coconut chicken, beef skewers, scallops in bacon, and mozzarella skewers — a champagne toast, a plated salad, a full dinner, a custom cake with a coffee and tea buffet, and an included late-night snack. It is the package you choose when you want the whole night handled and abundant from the first pour to the last.
From there they still added their own touches, bringing in an espresso and specialty drink cart for the back half of the evening.
The Details: Royal Blue, Silver & Candlelight
The palette was royal blue and white, and it ran through everything. Ford Flower built the centerpieces and dressed the space. The sweetheart table wore a white overlay over a royal satin runner, and — a detail this couple clearly loved — gold foil coasters at each setting read “Please Don’t Take My Drink, I’m Dancing.”
Dinner
Dinner opened with the Zorvino Salad — candied pecans, apples, goat cheese, raisins, and apple cider vinaigrette — then moved to the entrées: Zorvino Chicken, a breaded cutlet with mustard butter, tarragon, and lemon, which was Denise’s choice, or prime rib with au jus, which was Tony’s. Butternut squash ravioli went to the vegetarian guests, and every plate came with fresh bread, seasonal vegetables, and chef’s starch.
Later in the night, the included Grand Crû late-night snack arrived: mini cheeseburgers and hamburgers with special sauce and garlic fries — exactly the thing a full dance floor wants at nine-thirty.
The Cake: Chickadee Hill Cakes
Denise and Tony skipped the formal cake cutting in favor of something a little more relaxed. Chickadee Hill Cakes brought cupcakes with a small cutting cake, and the couple added a platter of cookies and cannoli to the dessert table. A coffee and tea station was served alongside.
The Reception: Music & Dancing
Main Event Entertainment ran the reception, and this was a couple ready to dance. After introductions, a first dance with the guests invited to join, and a thank-you to the room, they moved through dinner and then straight onto the floor — special dances woven through the night rather than staged all at once. The dance floor stayed full to the end.
