Scribner Bend Vineyards was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we started planning, their communication was quick, detailed, and thorough, putting us at ease throughout the process. On the day of, they truly were a well-oiled machine, taking care of everything so we could fully enjoy ourselves. The venue itself is quaint and beautiful, with elegant greenery and landscaping that provided a lovely backdrop for our celebration. The food and wine were amazing - we especially loved the honey almond sparkling wine. Having Paesanos as the on-site caterer was an added bonus. I had a wonderful experience from start to finish, and I would highly recommend Scribner Bend Vineyards to any couple looking for a stunning, stress-free wedding venue.
