Saureel Vineyards is the perfect place to get married at! The coordinators were so easy to work with and always responded quickly. They went above and beyond on our wedding day and made everything so much better than we expected. Our first dance on the dock is something our guests still talk about! We love Saureel so much!

Five Stars - The Most Magical Wedding Experience!
Saureel Vineyards was everything we dreamed of and more. The property is absolutely stunning — from the breathtaking views at every turn to the incredible oak tree where we said “I do.” It was like something out of a fairytale. The entire team was amazing to work with — so kind, professional, and truly went above and beyond to make the day easy and stress-free.
Every moment felt magical, especially our first dance on the dock with the serene pond behind us — it was picture-perfect. Saureel Vineyards is not just a venue; it’s an experience. If you’re looking for a place that combines natural beauty with a truly supportive and exceptional staff, this is it. We couldn’t be more grateful! There is nothing about my wedding experience that I would change. We love you Saureel!!!

Cheers 🥂

Saureel Vineyards is such a hidden gem in Placerville. The whole property is stunning—the lake, the oak trees, the venue space, and the lake house—it was everything we hoped for. It just felt so peaceful and we were able to enjoy our wedding day to the fullest.
Jordan, the wedding coordinator, was amazing. She was super attentive and on top of every detail throughout the planning process, the rehearsal, and especially on the day of. If anything went wrong, we didn’t even notice! Lol
We honestly had the most incredible wedding day and are so thankful we chose Saureel.

Saureel Vineyards was the most magical venue. We chose the venue because of the beautiful lake, the rustic barn, the lake house VRBO, and the stunning vineyard backdrop. It was the most beautiful and well-maintained venue we had ever been to. Then they blew us away when they provided planning organization and planning meetings to make sure we were comfortable and happy, quick communication responses, wonderful rehearsal coordination, and the most amazing day-of coordination. We went into our wedding weekend with no stress or worries. Our Saureel team brought our dream to life and it was the best weekend we could have ever asked for. We can’t thank them enough!

We had the most beautiful and epic wedding at this venue and would highly recommend! Jordan and her team of coordinators were very helpful and communicative during the whole planning process and pulled off all our decor and last minute items super well! All staff is very friendly and approachable. The environment is casual , but classy and the surroundings are unmatched for unbelievable photos! Our guests all said it was one, if not the best wedding they've attended. The lake house is an added bonus as well and we plan to return to stay in their super comfy beds!

The moment we set eyes on Saureel Vineyards - we were 100% sold. Plus, Jordan Brushia made the entire process easy and painless. I cannot recommend the venue and Jordan enough. It was also so special to be able to stay at the house on the property over the weekend. We will never forget these memories. Thank you Jordan and Saureel!

We took full advantage of the beauty of Saureel coming in on a horse and buggy with a drive capturing every move. We loved the versatility of the barn for our reception. All of our guests had a wonderful time and they were amazed at how picturesque our ceremony was. We used the lake house for our bridesmaids to stay and get ready.m. We took lots of pics getting ready in the bridal suite and the patio. The eagle made its appearance during the reception. It was like God giving His approval.

I was a lead Wedding Photographer for this venue and it was absolute stunning. The drive up through the large iron black gate alongside horse pastures and vineyards speak for itself. The getting ready spaces are large and the lighting is perfect all throughout the day. The coordinates and other vendors were 100% a delight to work for and would do it over again if I could. Their timeline blew me away as my couple and I were allowed roughly an hour for sunset pictures. These started in a gorgeous field out behind the ceremony site. We then hopped in a golf cart and took our time watching the sun fade away and the gorgeous skies flourish in the reflection on the pound. If you are a rustic bride looking for something elegant but wont shy from southern charm. This venue is for you! Plus, I think I'll get married here someday!
