The Fableist saved our wedding and made our dreams come true. This place is truly spectacular, and we feel eternally blessed to have been so lucky to find it.
We were panicked be...
cause our original wedding venue (Windwood Ranch - don't trust them!) canceled on us at the last minute - six weeks before our wedding. We were stressed and worried beyond imagination. It was a nightmare we wouldn't wish on our worst enemy. We felt betrayed and lost.
Thankfully Fableist was able to host our wedding! The minute we contacted them, they were on board to host our wedding on short notice and even hooked us up with a great place to host our Welcome Party (Field Recordings - they are also fabulous). Melissa turned our nightmare into a dream, reassuring us every step of the way that Fableist would have our back.
The Fableist is a GORGEOUS venue. The views cannot be matched. THE SUNSET WILL BLOW YOU AWAY. The tasting rooms are impeccably designed and straight out of Architectural Digest. There’s even a classic train for the kids to play on! The guesthouse was indispensable for preparing during the wedding and as a hideaway amidst the hectic festivities.
And the WINE!!!! They have the best wine we have ever tasted - seriously.
Every single one of our guests was in love with The Fableist and couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful it is.
Everyone at The Fableist handled all of our last-minute issues instantly and professionally. Melissa is a master at problem-solving and multi-tasking. She was always super friendly and very communicative.
In the end, we are happy our first venue bailed on us because The Fableist made our wedding even more magical than we could have ever imagined.
If you can get married here, DO IT. You will not be disappointed.
We can’t wait to come back every year to celebrate our anniversary.
THANK YOU MELISSA AND EVERYONE IN THE FABLEIST FAMILY.
