The venue itself was very spacious and phenomenal - we had the flexibility to bring in our own vendors, which was a huge plus, and they had plenty of items available for us to use at no extra charge, like tables, chairs, linens, and decor. The overall value was fantastic, as the venue was very affordable. Despite the slight hiccups in communication, everything turned out beautifully and we couldn't have asked for a better space to celebrate our special day. I highly recommend this venue.

Awarded Best of Zola
This venue won our hearts almost immediately after our first meeting with Laura. Not only could we tell this venue had the look and the location, but it also had this noticeable warmth, and sense of great care taken by everyone on the staff. There’s a pride you can see and hear just by being around them. They care and believe in their mission to deliver world class weddings. Leading up to, and ESPECIALLY on the day of – Morgan and the on-site staff were superlative. If you’re going to get married – you 100% want someone like Morgan, and a team like the one here at DW working with you. Trust me. My wife and I were at ease and this was the best day of our lives thanks in very large part to the hard, skillful work of the District Winery crew. Thank you x100000
