We arranged a very short notice wedding during our travels to Yosemite with a group of friends. It was casual and fun - exactly what we wanted. They made a venue package for us because of rare request… can’t thank them enough. The venue was so much fun and the views are awesome! All of our friends loved it. It got a little cold at night but they provided heaters. We want to go back during their rodeo to experience it full action.

Deloro Valley is a historic Sierra Nevada property with the space and infrastructure to support a wedding that actually unfolds; not just a ceremony and a reception, but a full experience spread across multiple days and acres. The property includes ceremony and gathering spaces, two potential dining halls, two amphitheaters, a pool, sweeping valley views, and the kind of natural setting that does a lot of the decorating for you. Our on-site culinary team handles everything from welcome dinners and morning spreads to late-night bites, all prepared in our commercial kitchen and tailored to your group. Most couples choose to buy out part or all of the property, giving their guests room to move, settle in, eat well, and really be present for the weekend. It's less like hosting a wedding and more like hosting an entire space; one that belongs entirely to you and the people you love for a few days.

We had the best experience booking the pines. Their customizable packages were easy to fit in our budget. I had the easiest time wedding planning thanks to being able to book a package that was almost all inclusive. All I had to book myself was the officiant and photographer/videographer! Their packages also include a wedding coordinator (Brittany) who was by my side through every step of wedding planning, answered every question I had, and who made sure I had the most smooth wedding weekend. I would highly recommend the pines resort to anyone who values gorgeous scenery for the ceremony and reception backgrounds. You won't regret booking with the pines because they will make wedding planning fun and simple!

Our wedding at The Century was everything we hoped for and more. The venue is stunning—elegant, timeless, and perfectly laid out for both the ceremony and reception.

Scribner Bend Vineyards was one of the last wedding venues that we toured in March of 2024, and the moment we walked the beautiful grounds and got a feel for the flow of how our wedding day would look, we knew it was the perfect venue for us. We were luckily enough to lock in a Saturday in October of 2025. We not only fell in love with the natural beauty of the property, but we were impressed by how kind and welcoming all of the staff were (Shaye at the time and then Hillary), greeting us with their amazing signature almond champagne. Since we had over a year to plan our wedding, we were able to attend 2 wedding open houses hosted at Scribner Bend and the staff greeted us so warmly, remembering our names and making us feel right at home. We also got to know some of their incredible preferred vendors such as Jackie’s Flowers, Rain from Paesanos Catering, and the Elegant Events Media Team. They continued to be great to work with, super communicative, flexible, and open to any and all ideas that we had to execute our wedding vision flawlessly. Leading up to wedding day and at our rehearsal practice, the day of coordinator, Hillary, was so great and organized, making us feel at ease and confident for anything that wedding day could throw at us. Scribner Bend Vineyards could not have been a more stunning wedding venue. The Bungalow was a great spot for getting ready and it was so fun to hang out with the girls and watch the guests arrive through the window on the upper level of the house. The vineyard was absolutely gorgeous, golden hour in the vineyard was dreamy, guests loved all of the various seating areas throughout the whole night to chat with family and friends. The food was so delicious and well organized. The staff was all so friendly and accommodating (Hillary brought champagne for us after we walked back down the aisle before we escaped for our sunset photos, the Paesanos catering team fixed us plates of appetizers and dinner and set up our sweetheart table with everything that we needed). Our grand entrance through the barn doors onto the dance floor with the guests circled around the hedges was a major highlight, and the fountain filled with flowers was picture perfect. It has meant the world to us to hear that so many of our guests who attended our wedding have been telling us that it was the best wedding that they have ever been to. Overall, we would so highly recommend Scribner Bend Vineyards for anyone, we would 1000% get married here again. We will be recommending it to all of our friends in the hopes that one day we will get to be the guests at such an awesome wedding venue. Will add more pictures of the venue itself on our wedding day once we get more professionals back :)

Everything about our experience with Venture was genuinely terrific from start to finish. A team of hard-working people who are willing to help with anything that they are able to. Communication was top-notch throughout the entire process, and the kindness exemplified by everyone who works there could not be overstated. The location is not only beautiful, but the positive energy one feels when walking around and staying on site is so powerful! I knew it was where I wanted to get married the moment I got out of the car on my first visit. Prior to visiting venture, we had looked at several other locations and had done a ton of online research. Many other venues were outrageously priced, even at a base cost, with basic amenities being additional costs. On top of being more expensive from the jump, the environments offered were not nearly as beautiful and fully realized as Venture. The newly built kitchen is stunning and so functional! All of the bathrooms with flushable toilets, electricity, and outlets made my less nature oriented guests feel very comfortable. Overall, everybody had a fantastic time, and every need my husband I had throughout this process was more than met. You will not regret spending time here at Venture Retreat Center, whether that’s for your wedding or just to book a stay for an escape from stressful life. Book with Venture, your heart will be happy! 3

It saved us a lot of stress because our wedding party was all in one place! This also allowed our vendors to set up earlier in the day. We love Red Tail Ranch and are planning on spending a weekend there in the near future!
