“My husband and I chose The Vineyards for our fall wedding. It is a beautiful indoor/outdoor venue with ample parking, hospitable staff and stunning photo opportunities. It was the thirteenth venue we toured and we were immediately struck by Shadi’s kindness when we walked in. Shadi was the only vendor who wanted to see my ring, which really speaks to how invested she is with your story and your event. We worked with Shadi, Soroor and Jimmy for the whole process - from booking the date, food tasting, event planning, rehearsal and wedding day. They were always so sweet whenever we visited or made calls. We really felt like part of their family. The Vineyards’ preferred vendors also act more as family than a random selection of people who have done business there. They work so flawlessly and on our wedding day, they seemed just as invested in our big day as we were. We loved the lounge furniture, twinkle lights, draping, firepits, table linens, chiavari chairs, cocktail tables that come with the venue - items that you would have to pay thousands more at other venues. We also loved all of the little touches they did to the venue. We booked the venue in Summer 2023 and got married in Fall 2024. During that time, The Vineyards renovated their bathrooms, installed a new photo op in the vineyards and added additional wall decorations in the cocktail room. The staff seem to keep improving the aesthetic whenever you visit. The Vineyards has a large bridal suite and grooms room - a huge benefit as most venues only have space for the brides. Our entire wedding party got ready there that morning, which helped everyone stick to our timeline. They gave us complimentary champagne, water and accessories like steamers, irons and toiletries for freshening up. We were also allowed to bring in catering at no extra cost. The grooms’ room also had games and TVs, so the men weren’t restless. I greatly appreciated the kindness and care from the entire staff. The wait staff were engaged, happy, helpful and the guests were thrilled with their service. During happy hour, the servers took note of which appetizers were favorites of specific guests. One of my friends loved the coconut shrimp and one server came by multiple times with a fresh platter. The bartenders were also incredibly friendly and quick with their service. We had sangria as one of our signature drinks, and the bartenders had batches ready. Our guests raved about the abundance of food, but also how tasty everything was. Standouts include coconut shrimp. hummus platter, meat & cheese station, California sliders, baked brie and the chocolate fountain. The Vineyards offer great options for guests who are vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free. We had several guests with certain food sensitivities and they enjoyed all the options, such as the vegan coconut curry and the egg free pasta with marinara sauce. My husband has a nut allergy and Shadi made sure the kitchen was nut free. We chose the dessert table and it was divine. I loved my wedding day and I would do it again many times over in part because The Vineyards staff, vendors and venue made the day so fun, beautiful and worry-free. They also host other events and I would definitely renew my vows there or host a baby shower, anniversary, retirement party, etc.”
