Five Dogs & Forever: Marissa & Michael’s Spring Wedding at Zorvino Vineyards
By Carla Banez | May 24, 2026

Introduction

Some love stories are written in the stars. Others are written in the rows of a sun-drenched New Hampshire vineyard, with a bouquet in hand, music in the air, and five very excited dogs leading the way.

On May 24, 2026, Marissa and Michael celebrated their wedding day at Zorvino Vineyards in Sandown, NH — one of New England’s most beloved winery wedding venues — and the result was pure magic. Their vision? Elegant, simple, and completely them. No detail was too small, no moment too fleeting to be captured beautifully. And yes — their entire fur family was there for every second of it.

The Setting: Zorvino in Full Spring Glow

May at Zorvino Vineyards is something to witness. After months of bare vines and quiet grounds, spring arrives like a held breath finally released — the 80 acres bursting into lush green, the koi pond fountain catching the afternoon light, the gazebo nestled among flowering trees, and the vineyard rows stretching out under an open New Hampshire sky.

Marissa and Michael had the full canvas. Their ceremony took place in our on-site gazebo, with the reception unfolding inside Zorvino’s iconic post-and-beam venue — soaring cathedral ceilings, a loft, a suspended catwalk, and intricate iron accents — a space that feels both grand and warmly intimate all at once.


The Ceremony

Surrounded by the people they love most, Marissa and Michael exchanged their vows in our beautiful outdoor gazebo— one of Zorvino’s most beloved settings, where every backdrop feels both timeless and deeply personal.



The Stars of the Show: Five Dogs, One Epic Wedding

Let’s talk about the moment everyone is here for.

Marissa and Michael didn’t just get married. They brought the whole family — all five of their dogs — to celebrate alongside them. And why wouldn’t they? Zorvino Vineyards is dog-friendly, with sprawling grounds that are just as much a paradise for four-legged guests as two-legged ones.

In a world where pets are family, Marissa and Michael’s decision to include their dogs wasn’t just sweet — it was a statement. This is who we are. This is what matters. And it made for some of the most joyful, unforgettable photos of the day.

Thinking about a dog-friendly wedding in New Hampshire? Zorvino Vineyards welcomes leashed dogs on their grounds — making it one of the only winery wedding venues in the region where your whole family can truly celebrate together.


The Details: Blooms, Bites & a Beautiful Celebration

@fordflower brought the floral vision to life in — the blooms that echoed the season perfectly and created that effortlessly lush, garden-party feeling that makes spring vineyard weddings so utterly dreamy.

Forget the tiered cake — Marissa and Michael chose the utterly charming route of cupcakes by @chickadeehillcakes. Every bite was as beautiful as it was delicious.

From the first song to the last dance, @djmikebenoit held the room in the palm of his hand — the energy inside Zorvino’s post-and-beam reception hall electric from start to finish.
