* Tour * We fell in love with Clos LaChance Vineyards (now CordeValle Winery) the moment we stepped onto property. We were looking for a winery wedding venue that could host up to 200 guests and where you could see vineyards from the ceremony and/or reception site; Clos has exactly that plus a golf course view! Our tour with Kristin Murphy ended with some wine tasting, both red and white. * Pre-Wedding * Kristin was incredible to work with! We had a lot of questions during the wedding planning process and she always had answers! Kristin was quick to respond via email and very accommodating when it came to special requests. Something that can’t go unnoticed was her expertise in the wedding industry and how knowledgeable she is to the property. * Wedding Day * The Clos LaChance event staff took care of everything day of wedding. They set up all of our signage in the exact location we asked for it to be placed. They placed our appetizers at our sweetheart table since we weren’t able to join Cocktail Hour. Not only did they take good care of us and our guests, the food that Chef Lu cooked was delicious (although we knew this coming out of the food tasting). * Overall * We would highly recommend Clos LaChance to anyone looking to host an elegant wedding. * Clos LaChance will always have a special place in our hearts. We look forward to our future visits reminiscing the best day of our lives along with a glass of 22 Pirates Red Blend and Reserve Chardonnay. Forever grateful, Iannick and Kelby

We hosted the welcome party the night before our wedding at Fieldwork and it was an absolutely perfect experience! They allowed us to bring in outside food (we opted for musubis from a Hawaiian bbq place) we had a party of 60 and we had half of the space reserved. The people there were super respectful and gave us our space when our reservation started. It was the perfect atmosphere for our guests staying down the street to come and go and chat and mingle. The drinks were all amazing (I enjoyed the hard calamansi lemonade). The staff could not have been kinder! Perfect for any couple looking for a casual, intimate welcome venue

We had the most amazing engagement party at Blue Agave Club! The staff was extremely helpful and were extremely attentive to all needs. Our guests loved the food and drinks - they are excellent! I would recommend Blue Agave to anyone looking to host an event as the private back patio is great for large groups. We had around 85 people and decided to use the backyard as an informal cocktail space with shared appetizers and then moved to the front patio to have dinner. The evening was magical and we felt so much love and effort go into our event, we couldn't be happier with having it at Blue Agave!
