We toured Scribner Bend last November as a wedding venue option and immediately fell in love with the venue!!! We were looking for a venue that was intimate yet romantic and this venue checked off all of our boxes. The romantic, garden-esque setting is absolutely stunning and was everything we dreamed of for our wedding. From start to finish, working with the Scribner Bend team was such a breeze and truly made wedding planning fun and stress free. When we first booked, Shaye was the wedding facilitator and she was absolutely fantastic to work with. Later, we got to work with Hillary, their new wedding facilitator and she was just as amazing! So attentive, quick to answer questions and always accommodating of any last-minute requests. They really have such a well-oiled team and their amazing list of preferred vendors made the entire process seamless. We were married on a Friday which meant we had the wonderful bonus of hosting our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner at Scribner the night before. It was such a fun, easy experience and set the tone for the big day. Paesanos, their in-house caterer was fantastic (separate review) and they provided us with delicious wood-fired pizzas and two salads for our rehearsal dinner. All of our guests were raving about how good it was!! On our wedding day, we had access to the Bungalow for getting ready and wow!! it is such a beautiful, charming space. My bridesmaids and I loved spending the morning there. It has two make up stations that had great natural lighting and is great for making tiktoks! The guys had the Airstream, which was really unique and fun, though on our 100-degree wedding day it was a bit stuffy since the AC couldn't quite keep up (which is understandable for an Airstream!). Still, it was a cool and memorable space for them to get ready in. I cannot rave about Scribner Bend enough. The grounds are gorgeous, the staff is phenomenal and they truly helped create the most magical and smooth wedding day for us. I'd highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a romantic, beautiful and well-supported place to say I do!!!!

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!

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. Erica, our coordinator, was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was flawless, staying calm, organized, and incredibly professional throughout the entire process.

We toured several venues, but Guglielmo’s permanent tent and rustic Italian storybook village surrounding is what sold it for us. Also, they had a package deal full of excellent local vendors! We went without a planner, which is risky, of course- but we did it and it wasn’t that hard- simply because with the all-inclusive package, the vendor vetting and research were very easy. Our initial point of contact left the company about a month after we signed, but the woman training under her, Brianna, did a great job assuming the role and owning the position. The wedding was even more beautiful than I could have imagined. The space is so naturally beautiful that when the decorations and settings are placed- it’s just next level simple, rustic luxury. This place is ultimate romance.

We were looking for a winery wedding venue that could host up to 200 guests and where you could see vineyards from the ceremony and/or reception site; Clos has exactly that plus a golf course view! Our tour with Kristin Murphy ended with some wine tasting, both red and white. * Pre-Wedding * Kristin was incredible to work with! We had a lot of questions during the wedding planning process and she always had answers! Kristin was quick to respond via email and very accommodating when it came to special requests. Something that can’t go unnoticed was her expertise in the wedding industry and how knowledgeable she is to the property. * Wedding Day * The Clos LaChance event staff took care of everything day of wedding. They set up all of our signage in the exact location we asked for it to be placed. They placed our appetizers at our sweetheart table since we weren’t able to join Cocktail Hour. Not only did they take good care of us and our guests, the food that Chef Lu cooked was delicious (although we knew this coming out of the food tasting). * Overall * We would highly recommend Clos LaChance to anyone looking to host an elegant wedding. * Clos LaChance will always have a special place in our hearts. We look forward to our future visits reminiscing the best day of our lives along with a glass of 22 Pirates Red Blend and Reserve Chardonnay. Forever grateful, Iannick and Kelby

This review is long overdue. The staff was really amazing in coordinating our perfect wedding right from the beginning. We were planning our big day from out of state, which you would think would cause a few hiccups but the staff at J Winston Winery made everything very easy. Taylor Kinsey, Operations manager, was always quick to respond, provided great recommendations, had tremendous patience and was very professional throughout the entire process. They offered a package to buy out the winery at a very reasonable price so we didn’t have to worry about uninvited guests or rush any last minute details. The wine packages were just as reasonable; the only tough decision here was deciding which ones to serve. The newly built barn, where we hosted our reception was beautifully done. It had all the right touches with very little need for additional decorations. The day before the wedding we were able to setup/prep anything we needed to and of course enjoyed some of their amazing wine. We were really appreciative of them working closely with our multiple vendors prior to wedding day and getting them all set up on our special day. We can’t thank them enough for making our special day truly magical. We still visit the winery when we’re in town and to this day continue to thank them for the great job they did and reminiscence on the fun we had. Thank you John and the J Winston Winery team for being there for us especially Taylor and Leyla!

Throughout the day and into the evening, you’re surrounded by songbirds, wildlife, and a calm, natural beauty that feels both rustic and elegant at the same time. As a guest, the experience was intimate, peaceful, and effortlessly beautiful. The evening climate was ideal, and the setting encouraged people to relax, connect, and truly enjoy the moment.

The setting is spectacular. We had 80 guests who came from all over and we had a beautiful October evening wedding. We were married in the driveway overlooking the San Juan Valley and Gablan Mountains, had our reception in the courtyard, and dinner by the pool. We brought in our own vendors (caterers, dj, photographer, florist) and MVR was very accommodating - always there to help, but not in the way. Our guests really enjoyed the town of San Juan and access to the Monterey Penninsula. We made a weekend of it! Best day ever.

From the moment we started planning our wedding at The Ranch at Silver Creek by Wedgewood Weddings, the staff was incredibly attentive, responsive, and open to collaborating with us. Their expertise and knowledge of the venue and the wedding planning process took a lot of the stress off of us. The property itself is absolutely beautiful, with multiple areas that allowed us to get creative and make the space our own. On the day of the wedding, the staff kept us informed about the windy weather and offered helpful suggestions, ensuring everything ran smoothly. I would highly recommend this Wedgewood Weddings location to anyone looking for a stunning venue with an amazing team to support them through the entire wedding planning journey.

First off we want to give a huge shout out to Emily, our coordinator. She was extremely professional, personable with us and our wedding party, and just made us feel like we could relax and enjoy our day. She handled the bride's stress with decorations on the rehearsal day with such grace and really put me at ease, she made sure we got the dip down for the ceremony, and we loved how well she got along with everyone right away and was able to establish trust quickly: getting in on our inside jokes early and even taking a bridesmaid's baby so she could go get her food. Tony, our banquet captain was very sweet and made sure we got to do all the things we asked for in our reception and that went smoothly. He always made sure I had a fresh drink :) Diego and Krystal were great bartenders! Diego was very popular amongst our guests and was really nice. Javier and Alessandro in the kitchen were great, we only heard raving reviews about the food. We loved the food as well, especially because we were concerned because at the extravaganza event earlier, we did not really like the food as much. So we were relieved the food was so good. DJ Brian was so great too! He was super nice and positive in our meeting through the event. We especially appreciate his effort with playing the video to surprise my dad. The servers (Gisselle, Lucas, Kennia, and Nate) were great as well and made sure we had drinks and apps and the guests said they did well. Kelli, Tiffany, and Melissa were also good. I appreciated the quick response every time I texted about a question or a change. They would call me right away. That helped planning tremendously and made me feel like I was in good hands.

We cannot recommend The Brothers Ranch enough! From the moment we toured the venue, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. The stunning bamboo grove, lush tropical gardens and beautiful ceremony lawn created the most romantic setting and made for absolutely incredible photos. We also loved the indoor/outdoor reception space, especially the elegant granite bar and spacious dance floor. What truly makes this venue special, though, are the owners, Jessie and Jonathan. They are so kind, welcoming and genuinely care about making your day unforgettable. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful the venue was and we can’t imagine celebrating anywhere else.

We hosted our October 2023 Wedding Reception at The Tech Interactive and I highly recommend it to anybody who is looking for a unique (and literally interactive) venue. It was so much fun and our guests had a great time!  We rented the entire lower level and they kept the galleries and exhibits open so our guests could play with them throughout the night! They were a hit during cocktail hour as well as for taking breaks from the dance floor (although we still always had plenty of people on the dance floor!)  Our event was mostly adults with a handful of younger relatives, and everyone had a great time. The exhibits at The Tech Interactive are perfect for quick and fun interactions no matter how interested (or not interested) any individual guest was in science/technology. Our engineer friends had a great time with the Cyber Detectives activities, while even our least technically-inclined guests enjoyed playing around with things like the Jet Pack Chair and Solve For Earth. This was truly best of both worlds, as we didn't have to give up any of the "traditional" wedding elements to make room for the fun of the exhibits - our tables and decorations were set up beautifully, we still had appetizers and an open bar, and like I mentioned above, there were still always plenty of people on the dance floor! We actually didn't even need to decorate as much as we might have with a more "traditional" venue either, as the existing colors, lighting, and layout of The Tech make for a strong baseline to build from. Our primary contact was Lolita and she was extremely helpful and pleasant to work with. She was there with us every step of the way, from our initial tour to our reception itself. She made sure to consider exactly what we were looking for to make our wedding special and was extremely organized and great and communicating with us as well as our other vendors. She created a great layout based on our table count, dance floor size, and the space the caterer needed, and she and her team went above and beyond and worked with our caterer and coordinator to help set everything up between the public close time and the start of our event so that everything was perfect when our guests got there. They even let us customize the exterior lighting color of the building during our event. The physical location of The Tech Interactive is fantastic as well - right in downtown San Jose within walking distance of tons of hotels and two parking garages where The Tech validates. The city closed off Market Street right in front of The Tech relatively last minute for a public city event, but Lolita was on top of it and worked with us and our shuttle company to arrange for pickup and a smooth experience for our guests. In summary: If you're looking to do something unique with your wedding or event, I can't recommend The Tech Interactive enough. Lolita was fantastic to work with and our guests couldn't stop saying how it was one of the most fun weddings they had ever been to.

From our first conversation with the Blanco Urban Venue team, we knew they understood what we wanted for our wedding day.

The venue itself is stunning—it has this cool, modern feel that made our celebration feel truly one-of-a-kind.
