“We stayed from Friday - Sunday, and it was the wedding of our dreams! On friday, we were able to set up the barn ahead of time and have our rehearsal dinner in the backyard. My bridesmaids stayed the night in the house, making the morning of so fun and stress free. It was DIY, and we were given the freedom to decorate and do whatever we wanted, bringing all of our Pinterest boards to life. We had the ceremony with the vineyards in the background, cocktail hour was behind the house and we moved inside of the barn for the rest of the night. We danced the night away and did a sparkler send off! So beautiful & fun! I recommend having your wedding here!”

“I was very pleased with the whole process from organizing the event to the day of the event itself. I had an art gallery show and celebration of living. The staff was quick to reply to my emails and generous with their support. The day of the art exhibit the staff was helpful and kind. They kept an eye on me better than my own family, bringing me food and drinks. The food was good and I had 7 passed appetizers and a prime rib carving station.

The Angela was also very helpful too. Her a Zena communicated clearly about what to expect, and they met our needs perfectly.

“My husband and I just got married at Jefferson Street Mansion and it was the most perfect wedding we could have ever imagined - it exceeded our vision! The whole JSM team was so amazing to work with and made planning as stress-free as possible. We stuck to the planning timeline they provided in the planning binder (which was SO helpful to have) and had everything ready in time. Our guests all raved about what a fabulous wedding it was. We customized the venue quite a bit bringing in our own decor and personal touches and it did not feel cookie-cutter at all even though it is an all-inclusive venue. I am so happy we chose JSM!! The recommended vendors were all outstanding, the food was delicious, everything ran smoothly during the wedding and I didn't have to stress about a thing. The mansion, ceremony area, and reception tent are all BEAUTIFUL. I could not have asked for a more perfect day.”

“I can not recommend Wedgewood enough, my husband and I truly got to be guests of honor at our own wedding. We got to dance, sing karaoke, be fully present and that is in large part because the team helped take care of the details. Tey was INCREDIBLE as our coordinator as well as with the help of Elyssa in scheduling! Tey made things so personal and fun and had such a calm yet bubbly spirit that helped make the process more enjoyable. She also gave us realistic options and expectations in the planning process that saved us money and made things more enjoyable. As well as Elyssa was extremely bubbly and detail oriented in our meetings that made any stress we had melt away. Eric was team captain of dinner and the bar and the main point of contact for the reception was phenomenal! He made sure my husband and I were enjoying ourselves by eating and drinking, and even checked on my parents and grandparents to make sure they were fed and had the food and drinks they needed and even brought out the chef for my grandma to thank for teh food. He looked out for us and that made our day that much more fun and memorable. As well as our DJ Eugene was AMAZING! He interacted with the crowd which kept things fun and people were engaged and his music choices were awesome and he provided the karaoke which was such a fun addition. And our photographers and videographers from a perfect impression, Aaron, Austin and Daniel were so much fun to work with and really helped us pose so we have amazing photos to look back on. We had the best experience and also for the venue itself, we loved that we had the option to have an indoor or outdoor ceremony and in the reception hall, drapes automatically come with the space so you don’t have to pay an additional fee. Also the groom’s suite was very spacious for my husband and groomsmen and family to spread out as well as the bridal suite had so much space for all of us to fit comfortably. If you’re considering this Wedgewood location it was an easy yes and wonderful experience that I fully recommend!!”

“The team at Yaara Napa Events was helpful and flexible in their communication, making the planning process a breeze. The venue itself is not fancy, but rather holds a rustic, nature filled appeal as it's a working farm ( our guests loved meeting their pygmy goats). We chose this place because it was a beautiful location close enough to our guests hotels in downtown Napa, and it fit perfectly within our limited venue budget. After the ceremony, photos and a toast, we took our guests for dinner at a restaurant to continue celebrating.”
