Swan Lake Weddings and Events was the perfect venue for our special day. Their communication style was very clear, on time, and extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and overall value was excellent - the lakeview setting was incredibly relaxing and fun for us and all of our guests. One of our favorite parts was being able to stay in the guest house, which made everything so stress-free since we had all of our things at the venue already. My favorite part of the day was having all of my family together on the deck, enjoying the beautiful scenery and each other's company. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding experience. Highly recommend Swan Lake Weddings and Events!

My husband and I had a gorgeous wedding retreat at Venture in September 2025. Our 3-day retreat allowed us to slow down with the people we love the most and share the beauty of the place we live (Northern California) with those traveling from afar (East Coast, France, Canada). Our wedding was entirely DIY, which gave us the freedom to customize the different moments to our liking. The glamping tents were wonderful. We did not have access to the indoor lodging in the main house (only the bathroom), and the event was still incredible. We filled all the tents and some folks stayed off-site. We loved our vendors and would be more than happy to share more information with those interested (BBQ catering from Oakland, Bay Area coffee truck, local Half Moon Bay caterer for dinner, local florist, killer DJ on Friday and band on Saturday, local photographer, etc). The wedding weekend could not have turned out better. We only have fond memories of this experience. We did most things ourselves (we made the drinks, we designed the paper, signage, etc., and we relied on our supportive community to help us where we needed it), mostly because we were on a very tight budget. We worked closely with our wedding coordinator to ensure all the pieces aligned. The folks at Venture did the best they could with the staff they had. Communication was sometimes a challenge; they had one staff member doing all the outreach and communication with prospective and existing clients. Ensure that you have a very organized/good coordinator and that there is sufficient staff for all of your needs. Ours coordinator and hired staff went above and beyond to ensure that I was not thinking about any logistics or challenges that arose during the weekend retreat. Overall, the venue was a delight. Nestled in the bosom of the coastal redwood forest. I would recommend this venue to any couple looking for something genuine, bespoke, and flexible. The weather was perfect, the air was perfect, the vibes were perfect!

Scribner Bend Vineyards was truly the perfect choice for our wedding venue, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the very first time we reached out, the team made us feel supported and cared for.

What really stood out was how they checked in with us at every milestone, making sure we felt confident and that everything was on track. That kind of attentiveness gave us such peace of mind leading up to the big day. When the wedding day finally arrived, the venue was nothing short of breathtaking. The grounds were beautifully maintained, and the vineyard setting created the most romantic backdrop we could have imagined. Everywhere we looked, there were thoughtful details that made the space feel warm, inviting, and elegant. Our guests were blown away by the atmosphere, and we felt so proud to celebrate our love in such a stunning place. The staff at Scribner Bend went above and beyond to ensure that our event ran seamlessly. They were attentive without ever being intrusive, anticipating our needs before we even realized them. From coordinating with vendors to making sure we and our guests were comfortable, they handled everything with professionalism and genuine care. It allowed us to be fully present in the moment, soaking in the joy of the day without worrying about logistics. We were also thrilled with the value Scribner Bend provided. The pricing was fantastic for the high-quality experience we received, and we truly felt like we got so much more than we expected.
