Introduction
There are weddings that follow the script. And then there is Tianna & Niko’s wedding: an epic Spring wedding that wrote it’s own script.
On May 30, 2026, Tianna and Niko gathered 122 of their favorite people at Zorvino Vineyards in Sandown, New Hampshire for a night that was warm, joyful, and unmistakably theirs. From the glass ceremony at sunset to the late-night cookie bar with shots of milk, this was acelebration that knew exactly what it wanted to be — and delivered on every single count.
Tianna & Niko’s Spring Wedding at Zorvino Vineyards | May 30, 2026 — Zorvino Vineyards, Sandown, NH
The Setting: Zorvino at Its Spring Best
Late May at Zorvino Vineyards is nothing short of spectacular. The 80-acre property is fully alive — lush vineyard rows, the koi pond fountain catching the last of the evening light, the gazebo tucked among flowering trees, and the outdoor patio opening toward an open New Hampshire sky.
Tianna and Niko used every inch of it. Their day unfolded across the venue, wedding suite, gazebo, and outdoor patio — with a ceremony at 6:00 PM in Zorvino’s beloved indoor fireside space, followed by cocktail hour on the outdoor patio from 6:30–7:30 PM — that magical, golden-hour wine-on-the-patio experience available only May through October.
The First Touch & First Look
The afternoon began with something beautifully intentional: a First Touch — that private, eyes-closed moment where the couple reaches for each other before the ceremony, feeling the presence of the person they’re about to marry without yet seeing them. It is one of the most quietly powerful pre-ceremony rituals, and Tianna and Niko chose it deliberately.
Afterward, Niko shared a First Look with Tianna’s father, Steve — a tradition that never fails to produce the most genuine, unguarded photographs of the entire wedding day.
Photography was handled by NU View Photography’s Paul Streeter and his assistant, with Tom and Lisa from Precious Moments Video capturing the full day on film — six full hours of coverage between them.
The Ceremony: Glass Unity & A Fireside Setting
At 6:00 PM, surrounded by the people they love most, Tianna and Niko exchanged their vows in Zorvino’s indoor fireside ceremony space — officiated by Daniel Griffiths, who led them through a stunning glass unity ceremony using 8 containers. The visual of two sets of colored glass pouring together into one — permanent, irreversible, beautiful — is the kind of ceremony detail that guests remember for years.
The Bride: Two Looks, One Night
Let’s talk about the moment that had everyone doing a double-take.
Tianna arrived for the ceremony in one wedding dress — and then, after cocktail hour, she slipped away to change into a second gown before introductions. The reveal when she walked back in was — by all accounts — a full room moment.
Two dresses. One night. Absolutely iconic!
The Details: Gold, Greenery & Ford Flower
@fordflower created lush greenery-forward floral centerpieces that anchored the tablescape in natural, organic warmth — a beautiful counterpoint to the gold accents throughout the room.
The tables themselves were dressed with gold charger plates, wood slab bases, votive candles per setting, and sheer drapery framing the dance floor — that signature Zorvino touch that makes every reception photo look like it belongs in a magazine. A Wine Barrel Card Box and Wooden Table Numbers completed the look — understated, cohesive, and deeply elegant.
The Welcome Drink: Red & White Sangria at Sunset
As guests arrived, they were greeted with a choice: Red Sangria or White Sangria — 116 glasses poured and waiting, with Virgin Mojito Mocktails for those who preferred. It is the kind of arrival moment that instantly tells guests: this is going to be a great night.
Cocktail hour was held on the outdoor patio — open beer and wine under the May sky, with two spectacular stationary displays waiting inside:
Formaggi e Frutta — vegetables, crudités, fresh fruit, assorted cheese and crackers
Tuscan Display — charcuterie, imported cheeses, seasonal fruit, spinach and artichoke dip, fresh breads and dipping oils
Plus four passed hors d’oeuvres that set the bar high for everything that followed:
- Crab Stuffed Mushrooms
- Spinach & Cheese Arancini
- Steak Frites
- Tomato Basil Bruschetta
The Feast: A Reserva Menu Done Right
Dinner opened with the Zorvino Salad — a signature worth noting: mixed greens with candied pecans, apples, goat cheese, raisins, and apple cider vinaigrette.
Guests then chose between Chicken Piccata (Tianna’s choice — boneless breast sautéed with lemon, wine, and caper sauce), New York Sirloin with herb butter (Niko’s choice), or Butternut Squash Ravioli with brown butter and cranberry walnut gremolata for vegetarians. Every plate arrived with mashed potatoes and asparagus.
Later in the evening, Espresso Dave arrived with his specialty cart for two full hours — lattes, cappuccinos, and warm drinks flowing until 11:00 PM, perfectly timed to keep the dance floor energized.
And the late-night surprise that had guests lining up with enormous smiles:
The Cookie Bar!
Chocolate chip and sugar cookies served with shots of milk — regular, chocolate, or strawberry. It is the most joyful, unexpected, utterly perfect late-night snack we’ve seen — and Tianna and Niko absolutely nailed it.
The Cake: Chickadee Hill Cakes
@chickadeehillcakes created a stunning four-tier custom wedding cake, served with a full coffee and tea buffet. The parents of the couple were served first — a lovely touch of honor that set the tone for the whole evening’s warmth. Every tier was as beautiful as the next.
The Music: Elite Entertainment
Elite Entertainment out of Boston — DJ Joe and his team — brought the energy, the uplighting, and the full production that transforms a reception into an event.
The dance floor never really closed after that. The bar didn’t close until 11:00 PM, and the event ended at 11:30 PM — with guests who had been dancing for hours and showed no interest in stopping.
A Record Guest Book and Guest Cam gave everyone a way to leave their mark on Tianna and Niko’s story — personal, tactile keepsakes that will live on long after the last song.
The Photography & Video: NU View Photography & Precious Moments Video
Paul Streeter of NU View Photography and his assistant captured six full hours of Tianna and Niko’s day — from the quiet intimacy of the First Touch through the final dances. With the Zorvino bus available for roving portrait sessions across the property, the grounds were used to their fullest — the vineyard rows, the koi pond, the gazebo, the lush lawns all serving as backdrops for images that will last a lifetime.
Tom and Lisa from Precious Moments Video were there for all of it — capturing the moving images that let you relive a wedding day the way memory alone never quite can.
