I cannot say enough, how much I love the Vinyards. We just had our wedding there on Thursday and I will tell you, you will not regret having your wedding here. The Vineyard staff is phenomenal!!! Saroo (sorry if I spelled it wrong) and Jimmy are the owners and they are the most humble, kind, but extremely competent people ever!!! I found the Vinyards on The Knot website. Deana was my Wedding Planner and I can’t say enough how much I love her. If you want your Wedding to feel like the most love, happiness, kindness, and family ever - this is your place. They made sure that the day went smooth and made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. Not to mention, of course it was absolutely gorgeous. The entire staff is kind and amazing!!! So many of my guests said that it was one of the most beautiful weddings they’ve ever seen and definitely the most fun that they’ve had at a wedding. I am a picky person too but they made sure to help me achieve everything I was going for. I cannot thank you guys enough, we love you and thank you so much for everything you do. Shannon & Alex! 💕

If I could pick just one word to describe The Vineyards and our wedding day? Magical. I had toured many venues in the Ventura County area, but none of them struck me the way The Vineyards did.
THE VENUE/PLANNING:
I knew I wanted a “garden” feel for my wedding and having attended 2 weddings leading up to my own, those experiences guided some of the more practical criteria I was looking for in a venue:
-indoor/outdoor options for weather consideration
-More than 2 bathrooms/toilets
-Getting ready area for groom (in a lot of venues, there’s some kind of bridal suite, but Groom facilities are more hit and miss)
-photo op areas (plentiful!)
-Large parking lot
The Vineyards easily met all of these and more. Aside from the above, I do want to note the HUGE bridal suite area with couches, tables and its own bathroom that could easily accommodate 15+ people. There were also 2 “ceremony” location options to choose from (garden or waterwall), and distinct areas for the cocktail and reception. There are so many little photo op nooks around the grounds that your guests can walk around during cocktail hour and enjoy the vibes. The greenery is well maintained and it looks absolutely stunning. It’s easy to see from any of the photos, but being there in person just doesn’t do it all justice. Every corner of the venue is well thought out and beautiful. The lights and greenery that make up the archways just gave the place an enchanting feel.
As other reviews have said, they offer a “Vendor Package” which I highly recommend. There are multiple vendor options within each category, but it is a huge perk that these vendors have the familiarity already, and really know where things are at the venue. I was very happy with all the vendors I chose.
THE STAFF:
We met with Shadi, who first toured us around the venue. She is super sweet and very personable. She gave us a lot of detailed information and answered all the questions we had. We had even asked to tour the venue at night and she absolutely accommodated us, and turned on all the features so we could really get an idea of what it would all look like. Shadi ended up going on maternity leave before our wedding and we were helped by Soroor and Jim, who were also incredibly helpful in all the questions that I had.
Deana was our coordinator for the day and she is an absolute ROCKSTAR! We briefly met her during the food tasting, but we really got to see her in action at our rehearsal. I could tell immediately that she is someone that is incredibly organized, detail oriented and absolutely knows what she’s doing. We couldn’t imagine having a different coordinator to keep us comfortable & stable. She made us feel that if anything were to have happened, we would be able to deal with it, no problem.
We interacted with some of the wait staff during the Food Tasting as well, and not so much on our actual wedding day, but I received good feedback from our guests that all were attentive, friendly and professional.
I genuinely feel that the team at The Vineyards really does care about making your day the best it can possibly be. I know that my wedding would not have turned out as amazing as it did, if I had had it at any other venue. We keep hearing from our guests on how much fun our wedding was, how beautiful the venue is and how the food was delicious. I highly recommend booking this venue. Your wedding day will be unforgettable.

It’s hard to put into words what to write to a team and a venue that made the most important day of our lives truly magical. From the very beginning, meeting Shadi was an absolute ...
blessing. She was beyond kind, so friendly, and incredibly flexible with my hectic work schedule. No matter how crazy things got, she always accommodated me with such grace and never once made me feel bad about it. I knew right away that Shadi was a rare find—a diamond in the rough who genuinely cares for her clients.
When I finally visited The Vineyards, I was absolutely speechless. This place is a hidden gem nestled in Simi Valley, and it’s so much more than just a wedding venue—it’s a sanctuary. The landscaping is impeccable, the flowers they grow are breathtaking, and the décor is unique, elegant, and tasteful. As soon as I stepped inside, I was overwhelmed. The chandelier ceilings, the stunning water wall, and the soft, glowing lights—it felt like stepping into a dream, straight out of a fairy tale. Every corner of The Vineyards radiates love, care, and magic. We were fortunate enough to have two beautiful ceremony options, both equally stunning and unique. From the moment we saw the venue and met Shadi, Soroor, and Jimmy, we were hooked. The connection we felt with them was immediate—they became like family to us, and we knew we had found the perfect place for our big day.
Wedding planning can feel daunting, but Shadi and her family made the entire experience exciting and joyful. Every conversation was filled with enthusiasm, support, and ideas that empowered us to bring our dream day to life. They made us feel like we were in the best hands from the start, and we never felt overwhelmed—just excited for what was to come.
Writing this review brings tears to my eyes because I can honestly say that this was hands down the best wedding planning experience I could have ever hoped for. My husband and I got married last weekend, and I’ve been eagerly waiting to share my gratitude because Shadi and her family have truly touched our hearts in ways I can't even describe.
Shadi and her family are unlike anyone I’ve ever met. They are the most caring, generous, and accommodating people. They make you feel so special—never just another couple on their list—but like you’re part of their family. Every interaction with Shadi felt personal, warm, and filled with love. She was always available, responded promptly, and offered invaluable ideas and suggestions that made the entire wedding planning process so much easier and more enjoyable. Shadi truly empowered me to bring my vision to life, helping me feel that everything was falling into place for what was going to be the most magical day of my life. And, of course, it was everything I had dreamed of and more. And let me just say, the food is OUT OF THIS WORLD! As a producer who works in the culinary space, I can confidently say that the food at The Vineyards is truly mind-blowing. Every bite was delicious, and we received so many compliments from our guests. If you care about great food, this venue is a must. As we say goodbye to this chapter, my heart is full of gratitude for everything The Vineyards, Shadi, Soroor, and Jimmy did for us. There are no words to express how thankful we are. If you're lucky enough to book with them, you won’t just have a wedding—you’ll have an experience that feels like home, a magical day that will live in your heart forever. You won’t be disappointed.

We had our wedding at The Vineyards, and it was truly a 5-star experience from start to finish.
Our wedding event specialist, Deana Cobey, was exceptional. From our very first mee...
ting, she went above and beyond—meeting with us during off-hours to accommodate our schedules and guiding us through every step of the planning process. She provided great recommendations for a DJ, florist, and photographer without any pressure, and she was always mindful of helping us stay within budget.
From food tastings to décor planning, Deana was there for everything. On our wedding day, she made sure everything ran smoothly and exactly as planned. She even made sure we had food and drinks throughout our busy schedule, which meant so much to us.
The entire staff was wonderful—professional, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to making our day special. The venue itself is beautiful, and the team did an amazing job setting up our ceremony decorations exactly how we envisioned, saving us both time and money.
We are so grateful to Deana and the entire team at The Vineyards for making our wedding day so seamless and memorable. Highly recommend!

My husband and I chose The Vineyards for our fall wedding. It is a beautiful indoor/outdoor venue with ample parking, hospitable staff and stunning photo opportunities. It was the ...
thirteenth venue we toured and we were immediately struck by Shadi’s kindness when we walked in. Shadi was the only vendor who wanted to see my ring, which really speaks to how invested she is with your story and your event.
We worked with Shadi, Soroor and Jimmy for the whole process - from booking the date, food tasting, event planning, rehearsal and wedding day. They were always so sweet whenever we visited or made calls. We really felt like part of their family. The Vineyards’ preferred vendors also act more as family than a random selection of people who have done business there. They work so flawlessly and on our wedding day, they seemed just as invested in our big day as we were.
We loved the lounge furniture, twinkle lights, draping, firepits, table linens, chiavari chairs, cocktail tables that come with the venue - items that you would have to pay thousands more at other venues. We also loved all of the little touches they did to the venue. We booked the venue in Summer 2023 and got married in Fall 2024. During that time, The Vineyards renovated their bathrooms, installed a new photo op in the vineyards and added additional wall decorations in the cocktail room. The staff seem to keep improving the aesthetic whenever you visit.
The Vineyards has a large bridal suite and grooms room - a huge benefit as most venues only have space for the brides. Our entire wedding party got ready there that morning, which helped everyone stick to our timeline. They gave us complimentary champagne, water and accessories like steamers, irons and toiletries for freshening up. We were also allowed to bring in catering at no extra cost. The grooms’ room also had games and TVs, so the men weren’t restless.
I greatly appreciated the kindness and care from the entire staff. The wait staff were engaged, happy, helpful and the guests were thrilled with their service. During happy hour, the servers took note of which appetizers were favorites of specific guests. One of my friends loved the coconut shrimp and one server came by multiple times with a fresh platter. The bartenders were also incredibly friendly and quick with their service. We had sangria as one of our signature drinks, and the bartenders had batches ready.
Our guests raved about the abundance of food, but also how tasty everything was. Standouts include coconut shrimp. hummus platter, meat & cheese station, California sliders, baked brie and the chocolate fountain. The Vineyards offer great options for guests who are vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free. We had several guests with certain food sensitivities and they enjoyed all the options, such as the vegan coconut curry and the egg free pasta with marinara sauce. My husband has a nut allergy and Shadi made sure the kitchen was nut free. We chose the dessert table and it was divine.
I loved my wedding day and I would do it again many times over in part because The Vineyards staff, vendors and venue made the day so fun, beautiful and worry-free. They also host other events and I would definitely renew my vows there or host a baby shower, anniversary, retirement party, etc.

nce we got married at a church, but we did take some of the most beautiful photos at the ceremony sites on the property.
We also did the all inclusive vendor package which made wedding planning so much easier when choosing a photographer, DJ, flowers, and cake.
Deana was our coordinator throughout the whole planning process and day of the wedding. I cannot tell you enough how helpful and sweet she is. She is such an amazing soul. On the day of the wedding, she was always making sure we were okay and we had drinks in our hands the whole night. We also worked with Soroor and she is also just as amazing. Honestly, all staff at the vineyards were so, so amazing.
The food was also great!! Our guests loved it! I’m glad we had some time to eat and enjoy it. Our guests have also mentioned that the bartender and servers were so nice.
The overall property was so beautiful and our wedding was a dream. I’m so glad that we chose the vineyards.

We had our wedding at The Vineyards in mid-August 2024. From the initial venue search to the end of our wedding night, everything was well executed, and the entire team was fantast...
ic to work with! We booked a year in advance, and although our initial wedding date was taken due to our extended decision-making, we found another date that worked. This just shows how quickly they book up!
We chose The Vineyards because of their inclusive vendor package, which made planning so easy. I’m not one for extensive planning and research, especially with a full-time job, so the option to pay a bit more and have the cake, DJ, photographer, and florist included was perfect! They also provided a list of vendors for each category, and I was very pleased with both their options and our selections. However, the main reason we chose The Vineyards was that when we toured with Soroor, it felt personal. We didn’t feel like just another transaction or a quick tour they had to get through on a busy weekend.
After we signed our agreement, Shadi and Soroor were there to answer all my questions for the year leading up to the wedding. I never once felt alone or clueless during the planning process. Every time we saw them in person, they were the kindest and happiest individuals.
Fast forward to the day before and the day of our wedding— we met with Deana, one of our day-of coordinators, and she was an absolute delight to work with! Leading up to the wedding, I warned Deana that my husband had never attended a wedding before. She was great at reminding us of everything we needed to do, where to be, and what to look out for. For example, for the garter toss, I didn’t think to prepare my husband— it seemed pretty self-explanatory. However, he walked out spinning his suit jacket in the air and tried to grab the garter with his mouth! I was hysterical because I had no idea where he got that idea from. He later told me Deana had walked him through what to do.
Deana also made a conscious effort to remind my dad several times to watch my dress and train after he handed me off during the ceremony, but he still ended up tripping and stepping on it. It was a good laugh, and afterward, we joked with Deana about how he still couldn’t get it right despite her reminders!
Later in the evening, I realized I had forgotten to put on my garter. At that point, I was a bit tipsy, and Deana came up and asked if I had it on. I admitted I’d forgotten but said I could go upstairs and find it— though I had no idea where I’d left it! Deana insisted that I stay at the reception, and she sent Shadi to look for it. I was ready to skip the garter toss entirely, but they found it and helped me put it on— mission accomplished!
Words can’t express how impressed we were with everyone at The Vineyards, including the reception staff, who ensured our drinks were always refilled and plates were cleared.
At the end of our wedding night, my husband and I both said the wedding exceeded our expectations and everything was perfect. We had a blast, and we owe it all to the incredible team at The Vineyards. I’m sad that I won’t be in contact with such joyous individuals anymore, but I would recommend them to anyone.
Also, the venue was a huge hit, and everyone loved how spacious the location was!

y, and their staff enough. There are a few moments I want to share that showed us how awesome they are at what they do. Prior to the ceremony, my husbands tux had some wrinkles and Soroor went ahead and steamed it without us even asking. At the end of the ceremony, they had drinks for our entire bridal party and a cold towel for me since it was such a hot day! When we were running way behind schedule during the reception, they pivoted and made sure we got everything we wanted done on our list. Everything felt so seamless and any time I was stressed about anything they got it covered for me. All of our family and friends enjoyed their time and could not stop talking about how gorgeous our venue was, how delicious the food is, and how much fun they had. We are extremely happy with our choice of venue and would recommend it to anyone! Not once did I ever feel unsupported as they were there with us throughout the entire way of wedding planning. Every question asked was always answered. We chose The Vineyards not just by its looks, but because we can see that they genuinely love what they do. Because of that, we truly had the best wedding day!

made us feel like family and that we were their priority always, like they didn’t have hundreds of other weddings to plan and couples to work with. Our bridal suite was STUNNING and one of the main parts I was excited about. You can’t take a bad picture anywhere in there, even if you tried. Everyone was so flexible and accommodating to anything we needed. They say something always goes wrong on your wedding day, but I can honestly say ours went by without anything bad (big or small) happening. I didn’t have to think about a single thing throughout the entire day. They answered questions before I even knew to ask them. They had the entire timeline/rehearsal process down to a science. If I had one critique it would be that I wish they had a restaurant because their food is some of the best I’ve ever had. Our guests even said they wish they could come back for another dinner. I would get married here over and over just to work with Shadi, her family, Deana, and all the wait staff again. I can’t say thank you enough to the amazing owners and staff at The Vineyards.

k out (in July 2023) my husband and I were scrambling to find a venue that was beautiful and not make us poor lol! We were so fortunate to have stumbled upon this venue and lucked out in securing a May 2024 wedding date. We selected the vendor package (highly worth it, highly recommend) and worked primarily with Shadi, who was an absolute saint through the entire process. She made it so easy to plan in a short timeline, offered flexibility constantly, and was always available to answer my incessant questions. Absolutely nothing went wrong the day of and we truly felt that it was our perfect wedding. It's now 2 months past our wedding, we still can't stop talking about how much we loved it and so many of our family and friends have told us that it's the best wedding they have been to!!! We wish we could relive this night all over again! Thank you to Shadi, Soroor, and the entire staff for creating such a beautiful moment in our lives.

At the start wedding planning is a maze of unknown desires and avenues to explore. There is a hope, a shot in the dark perhaps that a logical wedding plan will somehow manifest and that you’ll receive all of the excellent guidance you’ll need. We chose to go to the Book. How to plan a wedding for dummies. The Wedding venue options in Los Angeles and surrounding cities are endless. Or are they? For us there was only one possible venue authentic to our vision. A venue that ultimately exceeded all our expectations and treated us like gold. A venue with outstanding professionalism, magic touches, and a flair for solving any obstacle unique to our wedding vision. That Venue is The Vineyards in Simi Valley, CA. The first sign of excellence begins at The Vineyards gorgeous entrance. Greeted by the owners Shadi and Soroor you quickly feel that this is where genuine kindness and love reside. Where what you do as a profession collides with what you love at every moment of the day. Shadi and Soroor even cover questions you hadn’t thought of…questions you truly needed to ask! At every meeting no matter how busy Shadi and Soroor are they will stay with you as long as it takes to make sure everything you have your heart set on is covered. The Vineyards offers several extraordinary breathtakingly romantic options for your ceremony. We chose the mystical water wall for our ceremony. The Vineyard’s cocktail room is a dreamy elegant space that you’ll want to spend your entire day and night in. From soothing water trickling down the sparkly windows to the glittering candles, twinkle lights and unique cozy chairs. Every comfort and charm is thought of. The bartender’s and servers are gracious exceptional professionals. I love how our guests never waited long for specialty cocktails that they are still raving about. My fiancé and I gravitated toward a theme of New Orleans Elegance. The Vineyards added gorgeous grand elements we hadn’t thought of and turned our reception into a glittering New Orleans Jamboree!! One must not forget the delectable food The Vineyards offers. What a feast of scrumptious options for everyone! Our guests still rave about how seamless and magical our wedding was. To make a wedding with so many moving parts appear seamless takes a dedicated team. My fiancé and I were the main event but the team at the Vineyard’s really are always the silent stars. Every single staff member was pleasant and professional and is an absolute testament that the same staff have been at the Vineyards for years. The Vineyards gave us an epic Wedding of a lifetime. Thank you just doesn’t seem to be enough. I can confidently say that you also can walk through The Vineyards beautiful doors and have all of your wedding wishes realized. There’s a cliche phrase found everywhere that says dare to dream. I’ll use it anyway because you can dare to dream...The Vineyard’s will make it happen.

I had my ceremony at their garden sight and it was worth the extra money. It was so lush and beautiful and I truly felt like a princess making my grand entrance.
I had Deana as my wedding coordinator and she is the BEST!
Thank you so much to the entire staff. This is a night I will never forget and wish I could relive over and over again

Our guests loved the venue and kept raving about the food. We had a very specific music-themed wedding, where we wanted to incorporate little touches of our story, and the venue and team were able to help us execute our vision seamlessly! They were very accommodating when we wanted to enter the venue early for hair and makeup and helped us with our timeline, which made everything on the day-of go smoothly. If we had to do our big day again, we would 100% choose the Vineyards every time! Thank you to the entire team, we are eternally grateful for your support.

My husband and I chose The Vineyards for our wedding and I am so happy that we did. They were so involved and on top of EVERYTHING! They even had people with headsets coordinating ...
around the venue the day of to make sure that everything went off without a hitch and our day of coordinator was constantly checking on everything to make sure it worked out.
The thing that really got us to choose this place in the beginning was honestly their vendor package. If you include the vendor package with the venue, then you get the photographer, DJ, florist and dessert included in the price! You get to choose which vendors you want from their vendor list, so you have numerous options in each category. It made planning the wedding SO much easier and every vendor that we chose from their list was amazing!
This venue was by far the best thing we invested in for our wedding and it's very well priced for everything that you get. The food was fantastic, the drinks were great... There wasn't a single thing I could complain about for our wedding day. They truly helped make our wedding the perfect day and got rid of a lot of the stress that most brides complain about. I would highly recommend considering this venue for your wedding.

dding planning can be overwhelming and stressful, but The Vineyards literally made this as easy as possible. BOOK THEIR PACKAGE. Florist: Scarlett the florist understood my vision off of Pinterest pictures and delivered the most beautiful bouquets, centerpieces, and floral arch that was picture PERFECT! We needed extra florals and she worked within my budget to give me what I wanted and more.
Photographer: Lasaundra Photography-Go on her IG and you will see why we booked her! All their options were great, but she was so easy to get along with and gave us the most beautiful wedding photos! I cannot wait to frame and display them all!
Coordinator and DJ: Deana and DJ Kryp2nite! OMG I cannot thank these 2 enough and I give them all the credit for such a perfect wedding. I know things go wrong at weddings, but to this day I have NO idea what happened at ours. I also wanted a packed dance floor the entire night because my family LOVES to dance. Kryp2nite kept the music flowing and the dance floor stayed full until 11 pm.
Shadi, Saroor, Jimmy, WE LOVE YOU GUYS! You all have a stunning hidden gem in Ventura County-a literal wedding oasis. We are so thankful for The Vineyards family. You answered every question, eliminated every concern, and made us feel like family. If you are still reading this, BOOK THIS VENUE. I researched, weighed out costs, and visited other venues, but it’s not even a close comparison. Brides, they will take care of you! You have waited for this moment and The Vineyards has it all. Their package saves you time on researching vendors and they will recommend other vendors you may need. Your guests will love it too! The entire venue is picture worthy, the food was mouth-watering (another big factor for us), the drinks are incredible, and their vendors are the best in the area! Look no further, you will NOT regret this!

Our guests can't stop raving about the delicious food, picturesque location, and welcoming and friendly staff. Our wedding was perfect thanks to the Vineyards and would give more stars if I could.

owners Jimmy and Soroor make every step of the way enjoyable. They’re personable, attentive, and are very down to earth. The whole family is incredible and their kids made our wedding day even more enjoyable by guests as our bartenders. The speedy responsiveness they have to any of your anxiety filled questions made the whole process of wedding planning so much more manageable. If you’re on the fence of any venues, rest assured in that the Vineyards feels like a close family member is helping execute your dream wedding. The food at our wedding was incredible and there are so many tasty options. I can’t wait to celebrate anniversaries at their restaurant to keep the memories going!

Vineyards and knew this was where we wanted to celebrate our wedding. The Vineyards is family-owned, and Soroor and Jimmy go above and beyond in making their clients feel welcomed and part of the family. We were a COVID couple that got heavily impacted by multiple postponements and rescheduling. Soroor and Jimmy were incredibly helpful and accommodating, and they remained positive throughout the whole experience. We were lucky to host an intimate dinner reception after our mini ceremony outdoors, and then our big reception a year later indoors. This venue is perfect for any event. It is beautiful, both inside and out. It is unique and has a special charm that you won't find anywhere else. The landscape outside is gorgeous and the views are amazing, especially at sunset. The inside is spacious and elegant. The food is delicious; our guests are still raving about the meals. And the entire Vineyards staff is absolutely incredible! They are friendly, professional, and welcoming. I can't say enough about this place, and my husband and I are looking forward to staying in touch, visiting their restaurant nights, and hopefully hosting another event there in the future.

At nighttime, the lights turn on and everything is just gorgeous. Lastly, I've never been to a wedding with good food...until my own wedding! The compliments we got on the food were astounding (we chose NY steak, artichoke chicken, and goat cheese ravioli as our choices). Really, really top-end food.
I highly recommend this venue and I'll remember this day for the rest of my life.

nue, The Vineyards became unforgettable. We knew somehow that this was "the place." We had some really beautiful kind of supernatural things happen during the first few weeks of engagement and at this place we had butterflies follow us around as we toured, then again when we signed our contract, and again on rehearsal day. It was like divine confirmation. We had a very short engagement and basically had 3 months to arrange EVERYTHING for our wedding. People asked us how we did it, and honestly, outside of eating, sleeping, and breathing wedding planning, a lot of credit goes to Soroor and Jimmy and Shadi and the team at The Vineyards. Having an inclusive venue with a trusted vendor package made preparing in limited time so much easier! I truly got to enjoy my wedding day and didn't have to worry about the schedule, decor, or things going to plan because I knew I was in good hands.
We called places right away and of the 7, only 2 places picked up, including here. We got a tour the next day and were smitten. Soroor told us she wouldn't accept our money today even if we wanted and to go explore other venues and options first for peace of mind. We were blown away with that. They wanted to make sure we were happy and found the right place for our wedding more than securing a deposit and booking a date and at the same time were confident in their venue and knew if it was right we'd be back, and we did return to book shortly after!
From beginning to finish, the team at The Vineyards treats you like family. They're attentive, assuring, ready to help with suggestions, and radiate warmth and kindness. They know you by first name basis, work with you, and sincerely love their work. We picked out our engagement ring from a family owned business in Ventura and we felt good also knowing our venue was family owned and operated and supported people in our own community. You don't get the same feeling from a corporate hotel, golf course, or rental estate.
During our wedding and right after, our guests raved about how FUN our wedding was. That meant so much to us! We couldn't be happier and are so glad everyone had a great time.
My Dad has a brace and walks with a cane and I wanted a venue with handicap accessibility and it worked out great for him. Even though there are a few steps around the venue, there are alternative paths that are completely flat. They even have a wheelchair on hand if you need it.
We went with the vendor package and highly recommend it!
Here's who we chose:
DJ - Juan Del Villar (Deejay Kryptonite)
Photographer - Liz and Mia Photography
Cake: Divine Pastry Shop [ @divine_pastry_shop]
Flowers: Flowers by Scarlett [ @scarlett_theflorist ]
Day of coordinator is included
Water wall area is fully handicap accessible, garden area totally accessible with use of golf cart on site
Venue package option includes DJ, cake, photographer, and flowers if you want all inclusive
Competitive pricing and value for all-inclusive. It saves a lot of extra work.
The bridal room and groom room is HUGE and private.
Ample parking
There is only one event at a time in the venue space. You don't have to worry about others occupying the same space. It's only you and your guests.
Twinkle lights included
Food is delicious
Venue allows sparkler exit

ted the venue and I fell in love! We went and looked at other venues, however, none of them compared to The Vineyards. We booked with them in January 2021. Soroor and Jimmy were so helpful and easy to work with. They promptly answered our emails with our various questions and made the wedding planning experience so much easier! I loved that it was an all inclusive venue and that the venue is already SOOOO beautiful that we really did not need much further decor. For the decor we did need/want, we brought it on our rehearsal day and they set everything up for us and helped us to take it down and bring it to our cars. The staff were very polite and helped to keep some of our more rowdy family members (and bridal party members) in line. Our DJ was amazing (DJ Kryptonite) and listened to requests from guests, was flexible with us changing the timeline of things as the event was happening, and was easy to work with. Our florist (Scarlett the Florist) was amazing as well. She helped to make my flower dreams a reality and helped me to know what I needed (I really don't know much about flowers, just what I wanted for a color scheme as well as that I wanted succulents). She was able to incorporate succulents into my flowers and they were so beautiful! She was very easy to work with as well. Our photographer, Deana was great and again, easy to work with (key theme of this venue and their vendors is EASY! so awesome). She helped me to feel comfortable while taking pictures and worked with us to get pictures that I know will be great! She even went and chased down some family members who did not want their pictures taken! (I'll further review her on her own review page on the knot's website once I have my pictures so I can add them to the review). The only problem we had was with the bakery that was part of the inclusive package, as they were hard to contact at times, however they made a beautiful cake. We had an amazing and pretty stress-free wedding day (which is an amazing feat for me as I am easily stressed about everything). I can honestly say I had the wedding of my dreams. I am so happy to have done my wedding at The Vineyards and wish I could experience that day all over again! I really, thoroughly enjoyed my wedding day and I truly believe that most of that is due to having picked The Vineyards as our venue and doing their all-inclusive package.

Where to start! The vineyards was the most accommodating, efficient, polite, understanding, and most helpful venue we’ve come across. Me and my husband had an Alice in Wonderland ...
themed wedding October 30, 2021, and not only did the venue let me and my husband dress up their venue to fit our theme- they were helpful physically with decor and helped with ideas to create it. This venue is truly “whimsical”. Pricing was great as well. There are different of options to have your ceremony and cocktail hour, which make it easier to bring your vision of your wedding day come together. The food was fantastic with loads of options to choose from to perfectly fit your wedding day (also have vegan and gluten free options for certain people). Since our wedding was themed, the venue provided options with colorful, delicious and unusual themed drinks to help with our Wonderland vision which our guests raved about. The location is close enough to hotels for your guests to stay, but far enough away to be secluded (and have no noise or roaming people around) and feel immersed in this whimsical venue; this gorgeous venue will make you forget their is a whole city around you. I would call this the Disneyland of wedding venues. Their vendors that they provide if wanted are all fantastic, and help your vision come together as easy as possible. We couldn’t imagine having a better experience than we did at The Vineyards. Thank you team Vineyards, for making our wedding be even more magical than me and my husband could ever imagine!

We were looking for an all inclusive location that would help keep wedding planning down to a minimum for us so we didn't have to hire a wedding planner. We visited 3 venues in ou...
r area and The Vineyards was by far the best choice just on paper. Everything that the other locations charge for is included at The Vineyards (colored napkins, chiavari chairs, rehearsal time, extended getting ready time, set up and tear down to name a few). Once you get to know Shadi, Soroor, and Jimmy then you will know it's the best choice not just on paper, but overall. Once you have a wedding there you become a member of their family and they treat you like family from the beginning.
Our inclusive package included a florist, photographer, DJ, and cake. It was exactly what we were looking for. However, it was still personalized because we have several florists, photographers, DJs, and bakers to choose from. Shadi was there for me to answer every one of my daily questions throughout the whole process. They were very responsive and personalized our wedding. They only have one event a day at The Vineyards so all of their focus is on you.
Their getting ready room for the bride is HUGE. When we arrived at 12:00 pm for our 6:00 pm wedding to start getting ready, there was already champagne and water in the room. Soroor was making sure that I was eating and brought me food "just in case." The groom also has a large room to get ready in which is nice because the other places we looked at had nothing for the groom.
Dena was our actual day of coordinator, but Shadi, Soroor, and Jimmy were there the whole day, also. Dena kept everything running smoothly and honestly she was magical...it was like she popped up anytime we needed her and then disappeared again.
At the end of the night they packed everything up for us-including 2 extra dinners just in case my husband and I hadn't gotten to eat enough, plus a lot of other leftovers. (I love their homemade hummus and the artichoke stuffed chicken). It was a really nice touch.
I can't say enough about how wonderful everything was at The Vineyards. I wouldn't change a thing.

After doing research on over 100 venues, mainly on the beach, and visiting over 25, I landed on the Vineyards because I was planning an LA wedding from New York in the middle of th...
e pandemic and no one was quicker and more efficient to respond than Shadi from the Vineyards. That level of service continued throughout this whole process. However, I cant express how much the service is just the gateway to what an amazing venue this is! The whole process in planning was made so simple, I thought I must've been forgetting something. I send Shadi emails of over 20 questions and she replied back within hours with all of them answered. Then the venue itself is what sold me. The garden ceremony is a must! I have always wanted a beach wedding and this setting topped it. You hardly need flowers for the arch/chuppah as its already so green! The cocktail room has waterfalls and furniture that makes it look so chic and luxurious, and the reception room and bridal suites are stunning! More than half our wedding party told us the wedding itself was gorgeous and being on a budget I was slightly scared that I wouldnt be able to afford a beautiful wedding. The day of the wedding was flawless. If there were any issues, I had no idea! Shadi and Deena, the coordinators, were on top of every detail! One of my vendors were an hour late and they called them and made them get there and give me a refund. A forth of our wedding needed special kosher meals and they accommodated them with no issues. I cant say enough about how amazing this team and venue is. Its absolutely gorgeous and the team is really amazing. Look no further! You can even message me if you have questions! And I cant believe the price. If I were to get married all over again I would choose them again!

My husband and I recently got married at the Vineyards. Prior to booking the venue we looked at a number of venues but none of them were as gorgeous as the Vineyards. We were initi...
ally greeted by one one of the owners Jimmy who made us feel welcomed and devoted his time to showing us around. We had a good feeling that we wanted to book the venue once we left. As difficult as 2020 was in regards to planning a wedding, we held out hope for our May 2021 date. Soroor, one of the owners, was incredibly understanding, helpful, and accommodating with all our questions, concerns, and overall, she was an amazing to worn with. We were very lucky that we were able to have our wedding on our original date. Our guests were raving about the beautiful venue, the food, and the service. The Garden area felt so intimate and made our day so very rememberable.
Food: Personally, finding a venue with excellent food was a big concern of ours. I can say without a doubt that their food is excellent. All of the appetizers and the entrees were great and our guests fully enjoyed their meals. There are many different appetizer choices and entrée selections. Soroor was very accommodating for some of our guests who had dietary restrictions or special requests. For dinner we chose the lemon herb chicken and the grilled New York steak. For appetizers, we chose the avocado egg rolls, beef kabobs, chicken dumplings, and cheese plate. Everything was excellent. We had a hard time narrowing down our choices because all of the food tasted so good.
Service: The staff was so attentive to detail that they even remembered the drinks that we ordered when we had dinner at the venue on our rehearsal day. Jimmy, Soroor, and the rest of the staff treated us like family and we are incredibly happy that we chose them to host us on our special day. The day of coordination, Deana, was incredibly helpful throughout the course of planning our event and helped ease my nerves throughout the whole day. She was so on top of everything I didn’t have to think about anything and that was extremely helpful because I was so nervous waking down the aisle. Now that I look back I don’t know why I was so nervous everything went perfectly and that’s greatly attributed to the team at the Vineyards.
You can’t go wrong with this venue for your special day. It was a great experience even throughout the difficulties of trying to plan a wedding during a pandemic and we wouldn’t have changed anything about our special day.

Beyond perfect! We cannot thank the Vineyards enough for how amazing they made our special day. We were drawn the Vineyards because of their lush green ceremony sites and their ama...
zing staff! Unfortunately, our large wedding in September was cancelled due to COVID but thanks to the Vineyards, we were able to have the most amazing mini wedding on our original date! It was unbelievably romantic and had all of the elements of a normal sized wedding. Soroor, Jimmy, Shadi, and the entire team were amazing, attentive, and personable! Even in the year leading up to the wedding, they always remembered us when we came to visit and made us feel like part of the family! This place is unlike any other venue, and we honestly believe it’s because they treat you like family, and not like a client! The food was amazing and had very large portions! All of our guests kept complimenting the food and the amazing wait staff. Soroor and Jimmy were amazing at making us feel relaxed and making our day special. I cannot compliment this venue enough and I would encourage anyone to check this place out and join the family!

Where dreams come true!
From the moment my (then fiance) now husband and I had our first appointment to view the property we were in love with what we were seeing. We met with Sor...
oor, and we both can not say enough about how amazing of a person she is! Soroor made us feel so comfortable, stress-free, and really shared in our excitement. She genuinely asked about us as a couple and our needs for our wedding. When you book here you aren't just getting a beautiful venue, amazing food (literally all of our guest raved about the food to us and we most definitely agree), and a great wedding package; you are getting a team of WONDERFUL people who really care about your special day. Every time we went in for a meeting or just dropped by we felt so welcomed! The atmosphere is beautiful, everyone that worked there did such an amazing job to make our day perfect. Soroor, Jimmy, and the whole Vineyards team really went above and beyond and made us feel SO special. The care didn't stop there...after our wedding we noticed we had left something from the ceremony and the crew took the time to find it, clean it for us, and held it aside so we could pick it back up.
We can not thank them all enough!!
I'd recommend this place every single time!

ames was very pleasant in our inquiry and did an amazing easygoing first show. I booked it on the spot. The venue itself is like bridal disneyland! We booked the garden location which is beyond stunning! We were in need of a photographer, and there happened to be on on site who made herself available on the spot with 3 weeks notice and awesomeeee pricing, thank you Deana Michelle! very sweet and easy to work with, which is important for me as an individual to have good chemistry w a photographer! We needed a dj and the venue contacted one for us and he called and was super easygoing and amazing price, and we booked him on the spot, thank you Juan, Deejay Kryptonite!
These two went above and beyond what i could imagine for my wedding, and set up smoke bombs for a special photoshoot! Sooo awesome!! Soroor was an amazinggg wedding coordinator! Friendly, caring, She took care of setting up our decor, envisioning set up for us, called 8 diff places to have special heart donuts made for our morning wedding and even set up a donut bar! It looked amazing! They all woke up early for our early day to make it happen! Communication with everyone was great and immediate, and in 3 weeks only, our dream wedding was masterfully put together! Thank you all for being our Wedding Warriors and blessing us with your time, kindness, and skills! God bless you all!

ny. The Vineyards had everything we were looking for and so much more! It was chic and modern, but kept the wedding vibe. Soroor and Jimmy were beyond helpful, accommodating, and listened to what we wanted. They were honest and straight forward, but made sure our needs and wants were met. My husband and I were married on 10/4/19 and it was the best day, ever! The Vineyards and their staff took care of us and our guests and we couldn't have imagined such a beautiful day. We are so happy we went with Soroor, Jimmy, and The Vineyards because it made our wedding day that much more special!

We want to say thank you so much to Soroor and Jimmy, and the entire team. They made our day so so special. All the vendors that were part of this day, and especially Dina as well....
They are so amazing at what they do, and we are so grateful for the memories that they have left us with for the rest of our lives. And we especially appreciate them for all the set up and moving of things around due to the fires that were happening the night before. We know it can be frustrating but they went above and beyond to make everything just right for us.
We will refer anyone we know to the vineyards and if we had to do it all over again we would choose them every single time.

We recently had our wedding at the Vineyards (Garden Ceremony) - everything was amazing. From the day we first booked the venue (about a year in advance), Jimmy and Soroor were ex...
tremely helpful with making sure our day went great. Whenever we needed to get a few questions answered they were happy to meet with us to discuss in person.
On the day of, we had taken a step back and left a lot of the small detail planning up to them so we could enjoy our day and they did not disappoint! Deena acted as our coordinator the day of, making sure we were taken care of as well as our quests.
The Vineyards is a family run operation and they do a great job of making you feel as a member of the family. We did an "All Inclusive" package where they provided us a list of preferred vendors that are all included in their price. Each of the vendors we used did a great job and because they were all very familiar with the venue, they knew exactly what to do and where to be.
I highly recommend Jimmy and Soroor as well as their entire staff!

My fiance and I knew within one interview with Jimmy and Soroor we were in good hands! However, we didn't realize to what extent. They made our wedding day a beautiful event that...
was shared by 120 people...our closest friends and relatives. Soroor directed everything the day of and her wonderful coordinator took over. Their chef was outstanding, as were the vendors she suggested for flowers, photography, etc. The staff clearly feel like family to everyone there, and were so attentive. I highly recommend Juan the DJ!! :)

We had the most amazing time at our wedding, largely thanks to The Vineyards! We were planning our wedding from out-of-state, and we both have very busy jobs, yet Soroor and Jimmy ...
made the process straightforward and as stress-free as possible. The all-inclusive package was a great deal compared to other venues in the area, and they were very flexible with us bringing in our own photographer and a live band. The wedding day itself went incredibly smoothly despite us not being super detail-oriented people. They also include a day-of coordinator, something that would cost an additional several thousand dollars in other situations. The Vineyards staff took our preferences and ran with them to execute a day that many of our guests called the most fun wedding they've ever been to. The venue is gorgeous, the food is delicious, and everyone was responsive and supportive throughout the whole planning process. Could not speak highly enough about this venue!

tself is beautiful with so many views and gems for photos. The decor is upscale and the cost is reasonable. All in all, the event is hands down one of the most suitable spaces for an indoor or outdoor or indoor/outdoor event. All these things included, I would recommend this space to anyone - for any type of mid to large scale event. The unwavering support you receive from this team is priceless and I am confident they have improved the event hosting experience for many. The team operates the events, down to a science - it's one of the most seamless experiences I have ever had hosting an event - I strongly strongly urge you to seek out to The Vineyards for your next event; you will be happy you did. There is so many wonderful things I could write about this space, I could just go on and on and on. Good people!!!!
