Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • This family-run winery sits on a beautiful piece of property at the heart of the Delaware Water Gap. It offers sweeping views of the surrounding hills and farmland, but is an easy 90-minute drive from New York City.
  • You can see the vineyard's 7,000 grape vines from your ceremony spot beneath a romantic wooden arbor. A nearby covered porch and surrounding lawn is a great place for cocktails and games.
  • Your reception hall is especially special: Traditional sliding doors open to reveal the fabulous barn, with its all-wood interior, romantic lighting, and hand-built farm tables.

COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers

What's included when we book Brook Hollow Winery, and what will we still need to pay for separately?

Brook Hollow Winery in Columbia rents you the whole facility for your wedding day, for up to 13 hours covering setup, getting ready, your ceremony and a 4-hour reception. The rental includes bridal prep areas, the heated and air-conditioned barn and pavilion, the covered porch, the cedar gazebo, tables, chairs, real dinnerware, a linen napkin per guest, bar mixers, non-alcoholic drinks, an upgraded coffee and tea setup, a wine bartender and event staff. You'll pay separately for food, a gazebo ceremony ($1,500), extra reception time ($750 an hour), linens and decor, plus 18% gratuity and 6.625% NJ sales tax.

Can we have both our ceremony and reception at Brook Hollow Winery, or will guests need to travel between them?

Yes, Brook Hollow Winery hosts both, just steps apart. Your ceremony takes place on a private lawn at a 20' x 20' cedar gazebo framed by more than 7,000 grapevines, and the $1,500 gazebo ceremony fee includes chair setup, drapery and one extra hour. Cocktail hour moves to the covered porch a few feet away, then your reception opens in the 40' x 100' barn with handcrafted wooden tables, for 50 to 200 guests.

If we already have vendors we love, can we bring them to Brook Hollow Winery or do we have to use yours?

You can bring your own caterer to Brook Hollow Winery, as long as they're approved before you sign your contract. The winery recommends QCrew Catering Co. and John Claude Exclusive Catering, and outside caterers carry a $10 per person charge, handle all food setup and service, and need two site visits. Wine from the winery is optional and billed by consumption. You supply beer and liquor, served by a licensed bartender at $250 each (one per 75 guests) with a one-day liquor liability policy. Bands and DJs are welcome, and every vendor needs a Certificate of Insurance.

What should we realistically expect to spend on a wedding at Brook Hollow Winery, and is there a minimum?

At Brook Hollow Winery in Columbia, the venue rental runs $70–85 per person before food, tax and gratuity, with a 50-guest minimum. November through April is $70 Sunday through Thursday and $75 Friday and Saturday, while May through October is $80 and $85. Holiday weekends add $5 per person, kids 7–12 are half price and kids under 7 are free. Catering is separate, from the winery's recommended caterers or an approved outside caterer, along with any alcohol beyond wine. A gazebo ceremony is $1,500, extra reception time is $750 an hour, and 18% gratuity plus 6.625% NJ sales tax are added. A $1,500 non-refundable deposit holds your date.

How long do we get at Brook Hollow Winery, and when does the music have to stop?

Wedding rentals at Brook Hollow Winery run up to 13 hours: 8 hours before the wedding for setup, getting ready and first-look photos, a 4-hour reception, and 1 hour for breakdown. You can add reception time at $750 an hour. A town ordinance requires all live music to end by 11pm, inside and out. Anything you leave behind needs to be picked up by 12pm the next day.

If it rains on our wedding day at Brook Hollow Winery, what would the backup ceremony actually look like?

If the weather turns at Brook Hollow Winery in Columbia, your ceremony seating moves under the covered porch or indoors, or you can rent a 20' x 50' frame tent to cover your ceremony chairs for $750 plus tax. The team decides the backup case by case, depending on how severe the weather is and how many guests you have, and talks through the options with you closer to the date if rain looks likely. The barn has heat and air conditioning, and propane mushroom heaters are $50 each if it's chilly.

What makes Brook Hollow Winery different from the other venues near it?

Brook Hollow Winery is a family-run vineyard in the Delaware Water Gap area, and it's yours for the day: a wedding rental is a full-day booking, so no other event is held that day. You can marry at a cedar gazebo surrounded by more than 7,000 grapevines, then celebrate in a rustic 40' x 100' barn with sliding doors and a wraparound covered porch. The setup is flexible, too: bring an approved outside caterer, supply your own beer and liquor, and pick your own band or DJ. The facility, porch, parking lot and restrooms are all on one level and ADA compliant.

Does Brook Hollow Winery work for a small wedding or an elopement, and what would that look like?

Weddings at Brook Hollow Winery have a 50-guest minimum, with pricing based on at least 50 paid guests, so it suits couples planning for 50 or more. Within that, the barn holds up to 200, and its wooden tables seat up to 8 each and can be set up as individual groups or family style.
