Paradise Ridge Winery

l hour, the upstairs space for the dinner and the tasting room for dancing. Having so many different spaces really breaks up the day and each space is so beautiful in its own way. Martha is a joy to work with, the wines are delicious and reasonably priced. And the views. LOVE.

annot stop talking about the beauty of the venue! Thank you Martha and the PR team!

whenever we had questions, and very accommodating when we had issues. She assisted us with solving any problems we ran across, and made sure we were taken care of. We highly recommend having a wedding at such a gorgeous venue!!

lutely worth the value. The pros: 1) The reception/dancing can go into the night. Most Napa/Sonoma venues have a hard 10pm music cut-off time due to city noise ordinances. PRW allowed our reception to go until 1am, so we didn't feel the need to provide an after party. You pay overtime beyond midnight, but it's definitely worth it. 2) The scenery. Your photos will be amazing. The LOVE sign lit up at night is stunning. You also save on decor because the venue speaks for itself! 3) One location for everything. You can have your first look and photos in the vineyards, a beautiful outdoor ceremony, cocktail hour on the veranda, and indoor reception in the ballroom. They even have an indoor space downstairs as a backup for the ceremony in case it rains on your big day (wedding tents are expensive!). 4) Martha is so fun to work with. We are members now and love going back! The cons: 1) Cost. We saved a bit by having a Friday wedding. But the exclusive vendors (although lovely) are kinda pricey. Definitely price out the exclusive caterers before booking if you're on a budget. 2) Some guests sit outside on the veranda for dinner if you have a large wedding. We had 144 guests, so 2 tables of guests were outside for dinner. It was beautiful, but on a May evening it was pretty chilly even with the heaters. In the summer this wouldn't be a problem at all. 3) Some firm rules/restrictions - but you'll find this with any winery venue. They are a winery by day so you can't have your rehearsal any old time...you have to work around their schedule and other weddings/events. Also, no throwing of anything or any fresh flower petals. We were allowed to have our puppy in the wedding though :)

as completely worth it. The location really just can't be beat - I used minimal flowers and decor and just let the room, the view, and the surroundings speak for themselves. Cannot recommend having a wedding here enough.

is an outdoor patio area for the ceremony and a champagne cellar (in case of rain). The reception in the tasting room was beautiful with an outdoor/indoor bar and windows facing that stunning view.

of our wedding, it was raining like crazy! Martha, the event coordinator, called me in the morning to give me a couple options for moving the ceremony inside. She reassured me that everything would look great and that I would be pleased with the outcome. When I arrived, I couldn't have been any happier. She went above and beyond to make sure the new ceremony area looked gorgeous, there were candles lit and a beautiful fire blazing. After the ceremony was over, the rain stopped and the sun broke through which made for beautiful pictures. I wouldn't have changed anything about the day and was so happy with the venue and Martha.

d vineyards. In the evening the city lights shimmered in the background. My guests said it was breathtaking.

if you happen to have bad weather, so you don't have to stress about rain options. We saved 25% by booking in April, as they have discounts for events between November and April. Everyone we worked with was reliable and helpful, and the event went very smoothly, with some gorgeous pictures to show for it. The one thing to know is that you're a little limited with caterers and DJs -- you have to choose off of Paradise Ridge's list. We found great vendors off their list, but at the same time, it does lock you in to their options unless you want to spend more money -- so there are a few costs you'll have fewer options around. But working with vendors that have worked at the venue before worked out really well for us, the photographer, caterer and DJ all knew Paradise Ridge really well, making for a seamless experience day of. Plus, unlike a lot of wineries, you're really close by hotels and other amenities, not out in the middle of nowhere, which is a big benefit to your guests. Very happy with our choice!

aff is wonderful: friendly, helpful and knowledgable. The setting is so beautiful and they accommodated all of our wants and needs! Excellent place for the wedding of our dreams - we were SO happy with them!

ry. Everyone at Paradise Ridge was helpful, friendly and cheerful. We enjoyed planning our Wedding with Martha. The views at Paradise Ridge can't be beat. This was a dream come true Wedding and nothing could ever be better than having a Wedding at Paradise. Our guests loved having the venue to themselves and that they got to drink the delicious wine from the winery. We loved that we were able have our ceremony outside overlooking the vineyard.
