I am so glad we picked El Dorado Kitchen to host our rehearsal dinner. In total we had around 66 guests and were seated in the courtyard area and it was a beautiful, intimate setting in which we could welcome our friends and family.
From the beginning of the planning process to the end, Nisha was fantastic to work with. She answered all of our questions, went out of her way to accommodate our couple of very specific requests, and made sure the event ran without a hitch. It’s been a couple of weeks after our wedding and people are still telling us how much they enjoyed the food at the rehearsal dinner.
I fully recommend El Dorado Kitchen and once again I want to say, “Thank you” to Nisha and the team for their help in a night we’re never going to forget.
Our experience at El Dorado Kitchen was truly amazing!! We hosted our wedding rehearsal dinner there and Lila and Alaina (on site event managers) were so great to work with! Their professionalism and responsiveness made the entire experience easy and stress free. They even upgraded us to the fireplace lounge room which was a beautiful room that hosted our group of 27 perfectly. For our dinner, they let us drop off our own place cards and flowers and had everything set up and arranged by the time we arrived. The food was so delicious and all of our guests were still talking about how wonderful the food was days later. Definitely recommend the beef short ribs, duck confit and vegetarian risotto for group party entrees - they were fantastic! We also had two servers just for our room who were incredible and so friendly. Such a great restaurant and will definitely be back soon! Would definitely recommend for anyone hosting a party/rehearsal dinner in the Sonoma area!
El Dorado was perfect for our destination wedding! Unique, quaint, beautiful on its own with exceptional food. We did not want a typical wedding venue and food quality was important to us and they delivered. We were able to take over the entire hotel and hosted our rehearsal brunch and wedding and reception there. Another great touch is we were able to give our guest choice of starter and entree that night; we chose scallops and filet and both were perfectly prepared and delicious. At times, our contact was not as responsive as we may have hoped but this venue was perfect for us, and in the end we were very happy. Wish we could do it all again.
