Our wedding at Brignole Vineyards was an absolute dream! The venue itself is stunning, with rolling vineyards, picturesque views, and a charming barn that seamlessly blends rustic charm with elegant touches. We opted for an indoor/outdoor wedding, and Brignole made it incredibly easy. The transition between the ceremony held under the vineyard pergola and the reception in the upper level reception space was effortless and beautiful. The staff at Brignole were exceptional. They were incredibly helpful and attentive throughout the entire planning process, always available to answer our questions and provide valuable guidance. The food was absolutely delicious, catered by Doro Restaurant Group and the service was impeccable. Our guests raved about the quality of the food and the overall ambiance of the reception. We highly recommend Brignole Vineyards to any couple seeking a unique and unforgettable wedding venue. The blend of natural beauty, elegant spaces, and exceptional service created a truly magical experience.

From the moment we started planning our wedding at Powder Hollow Brewery, the team there was incredibly attentive to our every need. Kenzie, the event coordinator, was super accommodating and always checked in to see if we needed anything. The venue was also very affordable, and they provided all the tables, chairs, and buffet supplies we needed, which made the event planning process much smoother. In fact, they even let us come in the night before to decorate the space, which was a huge help on the day of the event. The bridal shower we held there was fabulous, and there were several other events like music and a book fair happening during our party, but Kenzie handled it all beautifully and we and our guests had a wonderful time. We couldn't have asked for a better event venue!

We were at first drawn to Priam because of its organic wines and sustainable philosophy. We stayed because of the endlessly supportive team, the flexibility of the space, and the beauty of the venue. Kristine Herrold, the site’s wedding coordinator, goes way out of her way to ensure a good experience. She even arranged a bond fire (bonfire??) for us for a private ceremony the night before our wedding!!! The only downside is that it is a “blank canvas” that required some design (especially the ceremony space). It is also a working vineyard so access can be an issue at times. All of these issues were resolved. We had the most beautiful wedding!!! Everyone had a great time!!! Especially us!!!! Oh and the wines are amazing. We’ll be back!!!

We had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer and other staff members at the Heritage Hotel for our wedding. Jennifer was always available to answer any questions I had along the way and gave us a tour of the venue multiple times. We had our rehearsal dinner there and they set up the room beautifully. The food for both the rehearsal and wedding were delicious and there was something for everyone to enjoy. They even offer centerpieces for the tables and to set up and break down decor and assign you a maitre de for the day of that is always getting you drinks and making sure you're comfortable. The venue is so beautiful and made for the best pictures! It's also super convenient that the ceremony, reception, after party, and hotel are all in the same location so there's no need to worry about traveling. The only down fall was that we lost power the night before the wedding for a couple hours and was surprised they didn't have a generator. But would definitely recommend having your wedding at the Heritage as it's a beautiful place with professional staff who are guaranteed to make you feel so important on your special day.

The property itself was beautiful and landscapers were there the morning of our wedding making sure the landscape and leaves were all cleared. Everything went very smooth from start to finish, and the staff were extremely helpful throughout the entire day/night. The staff were professional and so so nice.
