I photographed a wedding at Vine Hill House last year, and it's one of the most magical wedding venues in Northern California. A ceremony nestled in a grove of redwood trees with a...
view of the O'Connell vineyard in the background is simply breathtaking. One look at the venue and you'll fall in love. On top of the scenery, Dan and Jordan are the kindest, most thoughtful, and attentive hosts and will stop at nothing short of perfection. If you're on the fence about booking Vine Hill House for your wedding, don't. Just book it! You and your guests will love their experience here no doubt about it. I'll be jealous you're there and not me!

We got married a few weeks ago at Vine Hill and we loved the venue. Getting married under the redwood trees, eating dinner on the lawn while looking out at the vineyards at golden ...
hour, and dancing under the string lights was a dream. Dan and the venue staff were very helpful with planning and are very hands-on, so they are a built-in day of coordinator. Dan provided a list of preferred trusted vendors, day of timelines, checklists that really helped with planning. We would recommend this venue to anyone!

We just had our dream wedding at Vine Hill House and could not be happier with the entire experience. All our guests were raving about the venue and entire night. Dan and his team ...
did an incredible job running the entire event - the flow of the whole night was perfect. Even before the event, we fell in love with this beautiful venue set on a vineyard and with our ceremony and dancing within redwood trees. Planning a wedding here too was so much easier than it would have been elsewhere too - Dan has a list of trusted vendors who are all fabulous from catering to hair/makeup to DJ to photography. Many who he’s worked out special rates with too! Dan and his team were also quick to answer any questions and the planning meetings really helped us get all the necessary details in place. If we could give VHH 10 stars we would.

this review is to express my evaluation as a vendor who has worked with Dan O'Connell and his management staff for 23 years as a preferred catering company. In this time I have ex...
perienced excellent team coordination as well as excellent communication both prior to the event and during the days activities. Dan is a detail guy and makes it so easy to access all the information I need to do my part. We have two planning meetings. The first is a two hour meeting 3 months prior to the wedding date. The second is two weeks before where we review all the details closer to the date. Clients attend as well as the catering manager and Dan's team. this allows us to go into the day all on the same page and it makes for the smoothest and best organized events with nothing left to chance. He is present at all the events and serves as a communicator between all the moving parts.
I think if you were to ask all the vendors on his list we would all agree this is our favorite venue because of the good communication and excellent management. if you are considering booking your event at vine hill house you can do so knowing that all your needs and wishes will be taken care of with expert guidance.

I knew we would not forget a single detail or have to worry about a single thing on the day of the wedding due to how organized, generous, detailed and involved the team is.

My husband and I recently got married at Vine Hill house. The venue is absolutely beautiful and with the venue being small and intimate it was what we wanted. However, the owner Da...
n makes it very difficult. From the beginning he mentioned we could do as we pleased with our wedding day, since it is our day. Before we booked we double checked with him what our vision was for our wedding. We had 2 meetings with the venue to go over our plans, I remember trying to give them my vision and ideas, but Dan would rush through the meetings when the itinerary wasn’t done his way. The last meeting we had was 3 weeks out from the wedding, it was Dan, my husband and I which at this point I had everything planned for the big day and when I tried to explain my seating chart he moved right past it and it felt like we had to dig information out from him regarding the step by step process on the day of the wedding. At this point very little help and information was given and sometimes it was hard to reach through emails for further clarification. Our wedding had everything DIY’ed by us, I had written down everything so I could share but I felt like I wasn’t being listened to and he was very adamant on some things he wanted at our wedding. But I stood my ground and he absolutely did not like that, he would raise his voice when I would say “no, I don’t want that”. The day before our wedding we were allowed to bring all of our stuff so we brought all of our DIY’ed projects including vases and floral arrangements. The day before the wedding he said at 11am my daughter will show up and sort through your stuff and we will ask you all the questions we have. I told him the day of the wedding I would rather not answer any questions because I was already anxious enough and would prefer all questions be directed at my sister. He said “that’s okay, we will ask you since you’ll be here.” That was my tipping point because the venue had 8 months to ask us all the questions. On the day of the wedding while my bridesmaids, mothers and I were getting ready we found out there was a separate rehearsal happening at 11am when they should have been focusing getting things ready for our wedding. Dan knew the men from our wedding including dads would be arriving at 11am to hangout and have our photographer take photos of everyone. However, we were unable to do some of those photos because the rehearsal party was passing through or being in the background. He also wanted to change the cocktail hour on the last minute from the original 60min to 90 minutes which was already set on the invitations. The day of, I gave them a timeline of our wedding day because I already knew it was an issue. We had a church ceremony so we ended up getting back to the venue around 5:15ish, so we started dinner at 6pm, during that time we were listening to music that was never part of our list. We had a Mexican wedding (Spanish music we wanted) and all the songs were in English and had commercials. One of the members of vendors came up to us and stated that Dan had gone up to the musicians and told them to play specific music which was never informed to us until later during dinner time which is absolutely not okay. He didn’t pay for any of the vendors and it was our wedding day. When my husband and I went to talk to him, he started to raise his voice at me and he treated me like a child. I still remember it vividly when he raised both hands at me and started pointing his fingers at me. I told him he is not allowed to do that or talk to me like that. I had to step away because I started crying, my husband kept calm and explained to him that he was not allowed to talk to us that way and that he is not to raise his voice or point fingers at me. We had been very professional and polite the entire 8 months. He kept his distance after that incident but it was very difficult working with him since he wanted to do things his way. There were some things that were not placed correctly which I let that slide but they were no coordinators when they never bothered to ask before the wedding day what our plans were or what we had in mind. My sister had to run the whole wedding day because when it came down to the reception there was no coordination from Vine Hill House. The speeches were coordinated by my sister as well because there was no coordination by Dan or VHH. No one can take the beauty from the venue, it is beautiful, as long as you’re okay letting Dan have control of your wedding.

My husband and I were so happy with our decision to get married at Vine Hill House this past May. We immediately fell in love with the beauty of the venue and especially resonated ...
with the “vineyard meets backyard” homey feeling of the space. From the very beginning, Dan and his team were patient, helpful, and responsive to all our questions. After booking our date, they provided a huge packet of information with preferred vendors, checklists, etc. that made our jobs so much easier, especially because neither of us had any clue how to plan a wedding. VHH is so hands-on that you don’t even need a wedding planner! Something that is noteworthy about the venue is just how many things the team covers and provides - you don’t need to worry about a day-of coordinator, lighting, heat lamps, dance floor, clean up, etc. You even provide your own drinks for the bar which saves a lot of money on alcohol. We’ve seen friends get burned with hidden costs and were grateful we didn’t have that experience at all with VHH. Vendors also love working at the venue so much that most of ours even offered a discount for being able to work there. On the day of the wedding, Dan, Jordan, and the team took care of everything so my husband and I were able to enjoy ourselves stress-free. It was the most perfect day and we had so many friends and family tell us it was the best wedding they have ever attended, largely due to the beauty of the venue. Guests also said the vineyard behind us at the altar was so stunning that it felt like a backdrop, and we’ll never forget the pure magic of dancing in the moonlight under the beautiful redwood trees. Another important thing to us was that our venue be LGBTQ-friendly, and both the VHH team and all their recommended vendors were so inclusive and wonderful to all our party members and loved ones. We are so grateful to them for making our day more special than we ever could have imagined! (Photos: @marcblondinphotography)

My wife and I got married at Vine Hill House in June 2024 and could not recommend it more. It’s truly a magical place — so beautiful with different areas for getting ready, ceremon...
y, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. You can tell that Dan and the whole family have poured decades of care into the property, and still love hosting weddings even after doing more than 1000 of them! One of the things that initially made us decide to go with Vine Hill is that coordination is included. Dan and Brigitte guide you through the whole process, with meetings every few months and lists of recommended vendors to pick from. Brigitte is absolutely wonderful, she and Dan had us laughing the whole time and always made us feel so comfortable. When the day came, we were able to entirely let go of logistics and just enjoy the day. They made sure everything ran perfectly — they are true expert event planners and have it all down. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful the venue was and how smoothly everything went, which is all due to their amazing planning and coordination with our other vendors. Thank you Vine Hill, we’re so grateful for everything!

Vine Hill House is a great place to get married! We got married there in August 2024 and were so happy with how our wedding went. It is clear that Dan, Brigitte, and the team love ...
what they do and really care about making your event perfect for you. They were extremely responsive, clear, and helpful throughout the planning process. We appreciated how experienced they are–they’ve seen it all and provided helpful guidance while also allowing us to make the wedding unique to us as a couple. We chose all of our vendors off of their recommended list–everyone we worked with was spectacular, and it was really helpful to have a recommended list of vendors familiar with the venue to work from.
On the big day, Dan and Brigitte were there with us to make sure everything ran smoothly so that we could just enjoy our big day. Vine Hill House is a beautiful venue and we loved having the ceremony, dinner, and dancing all outside. The weather was comfortable for guests throughout the event (not too hot and not too cold at night–we did recommend guests bring a light jacket for evening). Because the venue is so beautiful, you really don’t need much in terms of extra decor or floral. It’s very well laid out so that guests move between areas smoothly throughout the event. We loved our wedding and would highly recommend Vine Hill House!

There’s a moment on your wedding day when it hits you: “wow this is it”. This is months of planning and a labor of love coming together in the most beautiful celebration in front o...
f your family and friends. And as the summer breeze wafts through the air, the warm sun rays beams down on you, the music of your procession echoes out from the beautiful tree grove where your guests wait…you feel it, and it’s Brigitte’s calm, soothing presence and Dan’s joking but always ready for anything demeanor that steadies you. So as you take your first steps out on your dad’s arm, you’re ready and excited and all the good feelings only because Vine Hill House is the steady drumbeat behind the procession that makes it move so smoothly, and what could you possibly worry about when you have Dan, Brigitte, Lily, and team at the ready.
Vine Hill House is for the couples that want a gorgeous venue with a sunset “golden hour” that cannot be beat to take vineyard couple photos in, an amazing support group to execute on your schedule/decoration vision but also provide time-tested advice on what works at their venue (seriously, listen to Dan and Brigitte, you won’t regret it), a fantastic list of preferred vendors (we used Trends Catering, Anne-Claire Brun, AMS Entertainment, and the Powder Room from their list with zero regrets), and just a day of absolute joy and celebration.
There were the small things too: Brigitte reminding me that Panera is the easiest and most filling for the day-of breakfast and lunch, the house they allow the bridal party to get in, the ice cold beers awaiting the guys in the “speakeasy” vibes of the tasting grove, the generous pickup of your wedding items the next day at noon, the way they guide you through signing the marriage license, reminders for things here and there, etc. etc. etc. etc.
Honestly, this review could go on way too long if I said everything we loved from the moment of initial contact to the day after our wedding of working with Vine Hill House. So I’ll just leave it to this, if they’re on your list of potential venues and you can book the date you want with them, go with Vine Hill House, you won’t regret it.

We were married at Vine Hill House this past weekend.
We had an incredibly wonderful experience working with Dan and Brigitte. They were on top of everything we needed with grace...
, humor and their amazing expertise. They gave us great suggestions and were completely flexible about whatever choices we made. We even decided to not have an officiant, something they had never done and something most people had never seen. They were completely agreeable to our preference.
The venue is stunningly beautiful and an impeccable backdrop to this most special day.
The day flowed perfectly from the guest arrival to dancing into the night. Our guests are still exclaiming about what a wonderful experience it was for them.
We couldn't be happier with our choice and would highly recommend having your event at the Vine Hill House.

My husband and I got married at Vine Hill June 2024 and can't thank them enough for all the work and dedication this team put in to making our day the greatest day of our lives!
...
I'm not sure where to even start because this venue is so unbelievably special. The views are truly spectacular, we had guests going to all the well known vineyards/wineries in the area and still when they walked through the hydrangeas into the space their jaws dropped. It's something you really have to see to believe. Being able to spend the whole day getting ready, marrying my best friend, dancing under the biggest full moon I've ever seen is something out of a movie. We have heard from every single guest that it was the best wedding they've ever been to and that is no doubt thanks to the team here.
This brings me to Brigitte and Dan. Wow. They truly blew me away, from our first tour at Vine Hill I knew Brigitte was an expert at her craft. Coming from the event planning space I came prepared with a whole bunch of questions, she had answered all of them before I even got a chance! Then the wedding day, she is the most incredible day of coordinator, she wasn't pushy or stressed seeming at all yet would check in on us to make sure we were ok, see if we needed water, or give us a quick update on what was coming up next. We had some delays to shuttles, a bustle that didn't really want to bustle lol, and some pretty extreme heat on our day and she handled everything for us to the point where I was able to just completely enjoy myself. Brigitte from the bottom of my heart thank you for everything! Dan knows this venue inside and out and made sure each detail was PERFECT, he takes so much pride in his weddings and that comes through so clear. I heard later that he even showed some of our younger guests who had never seen how wine was made before the grapes and brought him into the vineyards, and I've heard from their parents that they're still talking about it!
This venue truly is magic and if you get the opportunity to be married here you will absolutely love it!

Lily was a champion and helped so much with the details for our florals. The entire Vine Hill team has so much experience with weddings they created a calm and happy feeling and it made for such a beautiful wedding! Thank you for everything - you are all the best!!!

We would recommend Vine Hill House to anybody getting married. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the setting was. Getting married shaded by the trees, having dinner ...
overlooking vineyards, and dancing under lights - it was all a dream. The Vine Hill team takes a lot of the guesswork out of wedding planning for you. They give you a packet full of vendor options and are there to answer any and all questions. Brigitte is FANTASTIC. She’s a total pro and made the entire experience and big day go so smoothly. Wedding planning is stressful and she always made us feel so calm and certain we were in good hands. We even had a bridesmaid say they wish their coordinator was as a good as she was.
My only call out for potential wedding parties is the Vine Hill team is particular about what vendors you work with and how the day should run, so if you’re a person who wants full control it could be tough - but honestly the vendors they recommended were amazing and the day went perfectly so I would trust their judgement.

e remarkable Dan, Brigitte, and their dedicated staff, were the epitome of professionalism, providing comprehensive answers to all our inquiries and guiding us through the wedding planning process with grace and assurance.
Their expertise was evident in their ability to anticipate and plan for every possible scenario, something that bestowed upon us a profound peace of mind. They meticulously prepared a plan, along with a backup for each step, ensuring our special day was perfect in every way. Their flawless execution during the wedding provided comfort and reassurance during moments of nervous anticipation.
The venue itself was an absolute dream. With the vibrant yellows and oranges of the autumn vineyards, and the rustling leaves of the surrounding trees, Vine Hill House in October is truly a sight to behold. The addition of heating lamps created a warm and inviting atmosphere that our guests absolutely adored.
The venue's vendor recommendations were nothing short of stellar. Each was professional, efficient, and played an integral part in the seamless flow of our special day. Many of our guests took the time to compliment the exceptional work of the vendors, a testament to the high standards upheld by Vine Hill House.
As for the ambiance, it was nothing short of surreal. The experience of arriving at the stunning setting left an indelible impression on our guests, many of whom shared with us that it was the best wedding they had ever attended.
Vine Hill House exceeded our expectations in every respect. We are beyond grateful to Dan, Brigitte, and their diligent team for their tireless efforts and commitment to excellence. They played an instrumental role in creating an unforgettable wedding day, and we couldn't recommend them highly enough. If you're seeking a venue that offers a sublime setting, meticulous planning, and a team that is willing to go above and beyond to make your day extraordinary, Vine Hill House is your perfect choice.

We got married at Vine Hill House in October 2023, and it was absolutely perfect. Here is a bit about what we loved:
1. Great management team - Dan has hosted weddings for many ye...
ars and guided us through the wedding planning process step-by-step. Because of his experience and advice, the recommended vendor lists, timeline support, and day of coordination (all included in the venue fee), we felt confident we weren’t missing anything and also didn’t need to have a separate wedding planner, which was a huge budget saver.
2. Great vendor team - Most of our vendors came from Vine Hill House’s preferred list and we were so happy with all of them; especially Sue and the Trends Catering team. Working with her on the menu and rentals, and then having her cook up a feast for our friends and family was a true highlight.
3. Great ambiance - We got the beautiful vineyard setting, while still being laid back and homey. A lot of other wineries feel corporate or commercial, Vine Hill House does not. It feels like you’re in a backyard (if you happen to own a gorgeous property in Sonoma), with your closest family and friends. It’s magical. And the space flows really well - there are distinct areas for cocktails, dining, dancing, etc. but it's also all together. I think the venue is perfect for small/medium sized weddings too - ours was 65 people and it didn’t feel oversized. You could fit many more people, as well though.
Our guests are still gushing about our wedding, which we love to hear and makes us so happy. But what’s more important is that we are still gushing about our wedding, too. After all the planning and build-up to this very important day, with the support of Dan, Brigette, and the Vine Hill and Trends teams … we were able to just kick back and savor the day, and for that we are very grateful.

My Husband and I had the most magical wedding day at Vine Hill House in early October 2023. Dan and Brigette are so easy to work with, and they are the dream team. From our first t...
our to saying our last goodbye the night of the wedding, they were kind, professional and had every detail dialed in. This venue is turn key and has weddings down like the back of their hand. If you're a busy person and don't have time to deal with a lot of the details of a wedding, VHH is the place for you. Our day was almost 100 degrees, but luckily VHH has gorgeous redwood trees towering over the ceremony location, we didn't need the 100 hand fans I panic bought 3 days before the wedding. Dinner is set on a lawn overlooking a sea of grapevines, where you also have the opportunity to take stunning sunset photos. Dancing is back near the ceremony location, under the redwoods and market lights. We had the BEST DAY. We seriously couldn't be happier with our selection of Vine Hill House. We also selected a lot of our vendors off of their preferred vendor list, which I also recommend doing. Their preferred vendors have worked with Dan and Brigette before and know Vine Hill House very well. Your day goes smoother when your vendors have working relationships and know the venue. Our day went on without a hitch thanks to Dan, Brigette and the Trends Catering Team. We are so thankful for them and all of our vendors for being so easy and fun to work with.

I'm writing this review as the groom who got married at Vine Hill House in 2023.
Without a doubt I would 100% recommend Vine Hill House. Literally I cannot say enough great thing...
s about our experience with Dan & Brigitte.
Before the event, it was obvious from every conversation with Dan that he had tons and tons of experience. He was able to take suggestions for "I want it to be like [xyz]...", "I want to do [abc]..." and give solutions from his context of having done [I don't even know how many] weddings at the same venue. He knows how to make things work.
He helped us think through every detail beforehand, and both my wife and I walked into our wedding day super confident that everything would be running smoothly so we could actually enjoy the celebration.
The day-of execution was also great. I know our Polaroid camera ran out of batteries at one point and without missing a beat Dan found replacements (I still don't know how), and Brigitte wonderfully shepherded my now-wife through the night. Perhaps the best compliment I can give is how easily the wedding ran and how little thought my wife and I had to put into the execution.
Writing this now after our wedding, I can honestly say that The Vine Hill House team left us feeling like we were the most important couple in the world, and they will always have a very special place in our hearts!

perty with the best views of vineyards and apple trees made the day magical beyond our imagination (and we have really good imaginations). Dan and his team were beyond wonderful and took care of every detail. The venue is well contained so you can easily transition from one part of the wedding to the other. They thought of everything and instinctively knew how to make every element perfect. They were a pleasure to work with and were extremely communicative and helpful through the whole process. The environment and all the little touches they have added to the atmosphere really elevated ours and our guests experience. Dan and Brigitte and the team jumped in and took over all the details so we could be fully present. Dan and Brigitte and the team took so much stress and worry off our backs and our families so we could really enjoy the whole experience. And boy did we! It was the most magnificent and perfect day. We highly recommend Vine Hill House and Dan and his team for your wedding! We wish we could get married again tomorrow so we could do the whole thing over again at Vine Hill House! We cannot thank them enough for delivering the most memorable wedding day for us!

I got married at Vine Hill House in August, 2023 and it was absolute perfection.
Starting with the venue itself, it is so stunning you barely need to provide decorations. The viney...
ard is a gorgeous backdrop and the grounds are exploding with flowers and beautiful oak trees. There is a house on site for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready in which makes it easy to organize hair and makeup. In August, the weather was perfect but they do provide heat lamps if things get chilly. The team at VHH is one of the main reasons we chose to move forward. Dan and Brigitte run a tight ship that is well organized, thoughtful, and of the highest quality. They provide day-off coordination included in the price (!!!) which is an incredible value and they really took so much off my plate so I could enjoy the celebration. They have a preferred vendor list who were all top-tier, easy to work with, and super familiar with VHH weddings which made things easy on us. You need to purchase and serve 4 cases of their wine, but other than that it's BYOB which gives you a lot of flexibility and is something you likely won't find at a larger winery. We didn't have a wedding planner or coordinator and we didn't need one because of how responsive and helpful everyone was. It was truly a joy to work with the VHH team and I'm hoping all my friends get married here so I can come back again soon!

Picture this: you're standing on the porch of a beautiful country house, looking out at a sprawling vineyard with a small road running through it and mountains in the distance. It ...
is golden hour and you can see the sunbeams moving through the vines. The guests are seated at their tables on the lawn, and all of the tables are glowing with numerous little candles. The sunset then starts showing through the clouds with pink, purple and orange hues, and you get to watch the light change. The string lights have just been turned on and make the redwoods grove light up where you will soon gather for your first dance. When the sun finally sets, your dance floor becomes an enchanted forest. There is even a chandelier strung between two arbors. Guests are warmed by the fire pit and stand sipping whiskey at a little bar in the trees. Finally, the stars come out.
Our wedding at Vine Hill house was even better than we could have dreamed; it was colorful, vibrant, beautiful, intimate and unique. It was entirely outside but was elegant and classy. The views were spectacular and really showcased what California has to offer.
I cannot recommend Vine Hill, Dan, Brigitte and the team enough. They guided us through vendor selection and made the day run seamlessly; we didn't have to worry about anything. The venue was one of the more reasonable places cost-wise; we didn't need a wedding planner, could buy our own alcohol and had the actual owner watching to make sure everything was perfect. Since the property is not a winery, you can buy any type of spirit. All of the vendors that Dan recommends have worked there before, so they are familiar with the setting. Dan even shipped our excess alcohol back to us since we live in a different state. This is the kind of service you need for your wedding experience! You can tell that the team really loves their job and wants to please.
Our wedding was absolutely perfect- thank you Vine Hill team!!

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Vine Hill House on May 27th, 2023. The whole event and evening went better than we could have imagined, and we’re thankful to Dan, Brig...
itte, and the rest of the Vine Hill House team for making our visions for our wedding a reality.
From the beginning, we were looking for an experienced vendor who could help support and guide us through the often chaotic and overwhelming wedding-planning process. Dan, the owner of Vine Hill House, and his team took a lot of the stress out of planning. Dan has a lot of experience, knew what questions to ask to keep us on track with the planning process. It should be noted that Dan can be set in his ways and often has his own vision for the event. We had some nontraditional elements in our wedding that required talking through, and in the end they brought a personal touch to the wedding that our guests loved, but be prepared to talk these through and stand your ground on aspects that are important to you.
Vine Hill House has a collection of vendors with whom they’ve cultivated strong relationships, which made finding vendors very easy. The vendors we contracted were used to working on the property and the setup and execution was seamless.
The property itself is stunning, with views of vineyards and apple trees and a redwood grove that we used as a “tasting grove” for sampling Japanese whiskeys and sakes, which was a huge hit with our guests. There’s a small house that I used to get ready the morning of that is available to the bridal party. The setup on the day of the wedding was very quick, and Brigitte provided kind, personable assistance on the wedding day, popping up at my elbow and helping direct us through the event. She also did an excellent job of gathering and packing up all the remaining decorations, food, and other materials we had brought and having them ready for us to pick up the next day; she was very helpful throughout the weekend.
The rates for using Vine Hill House as a venue were reasonable for such a beautiful Wine Country property, and purchasing only two cases of wine from O’Connell Vineyards is required. This is rare in Wine Country—many winery venues ask that you purchase much, much more wine from them or use their wine exclusively for the event, so we were very happy to be able to use mostly our selected beverages for the guests. However, we thought Dan’s estimates for how much alcohol we’d need to buy for the wedding to be very, very generous. We purchased the amounts of wine, beer, and liquor that he recommended, but we ended up with about 100% more alcohol than we needed and gave a lot away (and our group were not light drinkers!).
I’ve recommended Vine Hill House to many friends and acquaintances seeking wedding venues in Sonoma County Wine Country!

We just had our wedding at Vine Hill House in late April, and couldn’t be happier with our choice.
From day 1 of the planning process, Dan and Bridgette were there to help us with...
ideas and answer any questions or concerns. They helped us plan a wedding that was perfect. On the day of the wedding, Bridgette was there to help us every step of the way, and the event went flawlessly.
We cannot thank the Vine Hill team enough for helping us achieve the wedding of our dreams. If you are looking for a wedding venue in Sonoma County in a beautiful setting, with a team that is dialed, look no further! Vine Hill is THE BEST!

op-notch. At the close of our initial meeting at Vine Hill House, we knew that it was absolutely the venue for us and booked immediately. With Dan and Vine Hill House we got a warm and genuine feeling, "homey" even, and we could tell that Dan cares about each and every event and wedding couple, unlike other Bay Area venues that we toured which felt more "corporate" and that you're simply another event in their books.
Our wedding day and the lead up couldn't have been smoother or less stressful. Dan and his staff helped us stay atop planning and they gave very helpful deadlines and suggestions along the way. Their incredible efforts and hard work in conjunction with the preferred vendors showed on our wedding day. Our guests are still raving about it!
Thanks, Dan, Jan, staff, and vendors for an amazing day that we'll always cherish!

Still to this day we have family and friends raving about our wedding day at Vine Hill House and how it really was the perfect wedding.

We absolutely loved having our wedding here and if we had the time and money to plan a wedding every year, we would chose Vine Hill again and again and again!

sed on the care that Dan has put into converting his childhood home into an event space. You can really tell how much he loves to be a host and how the outcome of your special day means the world to him. We chose all of our vendors from the list that Dan provided, which made it easy to plan and all of our vendors were absolutely amazing! The day of our wedding was a dream, thanks in huge part to Dan and his daughter who kept the entire event running so smoothly! From the moment we arrived at the venue, we didn’t need to worry about a thing. Essentially, if you listen to Dan, you’re going to have a good time! We had so much fun, the day was beautiful, and thank you so so much to Dan, Jan, and Lily for making our wedding day so special!

The venue and the team at Vine Hill House are unparalleled. I had been guest at a wedding at Vine Hill House before choosing this as my own venue and fell in love with the property...
. The view, the diversity of scenery, and the quaintness all make it truly special. When we met with Dan and team we were excited by how organized and experienced they were. They had amazing vendors to point us to for everything and great guidance on how to prepare! They are how we found out amazing caterers (Trends) who we also absolutely loved. The day of the wedding was very smooth! We still get so many compliments from guests on what a great venue it was 🙌

We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Vine Hill House in June 2022, and could not be more pleased!!
For starters, the property is BEAUTIFUL!! A house with a front porch ov...
erlooking a lawn and vineyards that you’d swear is out of the movies…and also…Redwood trees. Best of both worlds! Plus little niche areas to hang or for various activities. The house (included) is ideal for pre-wedding preparation and mid-wedding respite, and there are also outdoor areas if trying to keep say the ladies and guys separated while getting ready or pre-“first look”. The tree-lined wedding area with vineyards behind it is sublime, and the lawn perfect for the dinner service (heat lamps included if needed). The ceremony area is seamlessly repurposed to the dance floor, for boogying under the redwoods.
We worked with the owner, Dan, and Annalisa. Fantastic folks whose sole focus seemed to be making our event as amazing as possible. Tremendous attention to details, lots of advance checklists to make sure nothing is missed, pre-event walkthroughs…nothing was left to chance. We never really got nervous about us “messing up” at the wedding as we were convinced Dan would simply not let it happen - all bases were covered.
VHH as a private event venue has more flexibility around things like what beverages are allowed (e.g., not just wine like at wineries), and are more liberal with modest outdoor noise and end time than other places we looked at. It’s a wonderful size, not too big for our 60-person wedding and I’m sure they could do ~150 people comfortably. It’s also its own space, so there aren’t other activities like wine tasting or other events going on.
Sonoma County wedding venues aren’t cheap, but overall we found VHH a good value for what was a top-notch wedding. For things like catering and DJ, they have a very short “approved vendor” list. While this initially concerned me, the upside is those vendors have special packages for VHH that cover/include things that might be done a la carte otherwise. It also allows Dan/VHH to ensure things will be at the high quality level he knows they can deliver. We used Park Avenue for catering (praised separately) and our one contact there (who worked closely with VHH) handled all the food, rental, tables, glassware, linen, etc. as part of the package they offer at VHH. We felt the included options gave us plenty to choose from. For things outside the package, the caterer handles all that directly with the rental company, and the few additions we went for (a “queen table” for the wedding party and one larger round table) were extremely reasonable. Saying this as it made our lives a ton easier just having to work with these few people, who then handled a ton of other details, vs some places that might have had us account for things separately. In hindsight compared to other venues we considered, the limited vendor options and vendor-special “VHH packages” might have actually saved us a bit of money and absolutely saved us time and stress.
We’ve been surprised how many of our guests said things like “best wedding ever”. While “it takes a village” for that to happen, Vine Hill House and their team were front-and-center in us having a wedding day that exceeded our biggest hopes and dreams.

Vine Hill House was the ideal venue for our wedding. The staff are all professional, efficient, and make wedding planning a breeze. We worked with vendors Vine Hill suggested, and ...
all of them were equally professional and fantastic. Vine Hill House has the perfect setting for a wedding; they have sweeping views overlooking gorgeous Sonoma County vineyards and lush gardens with beautiful flowers and plants year round. We highly recommend having a wedding or special event at Vine Hill House.

We got married at Vine Hill House a little over a month ago, and I am still smiling just thinking about it. When my fiance and I got engaged we toured 12 venues throughout Napa, So...
noma, and Healdsburg and struggled to find one that didn't feel like a "wedding factory" (or that wasn't wildly overpriced). Our search was over as soon as we got out of the car at Vine Hill House!
The property is absolutely gorgeous with the best vineyard views, and while Dan and his team host dozens of weddings each year, it still feels personal and authentic. I think a huge part of this is because this is Dan's family property, and you can tell how much pride he takes in it and the experience they are providing to you and your guests. So many of our guests told us it was the most beautiful wedding they'd ever been to, even though we hardly did any extra decor — it's just that special of a venue. Bonus points in wine country: you can go beyond 10pm, have hard alcohol at the bar, and supplement the O'Connell wines with your own selections!
On top of this, Dan's expertise and guidance is hugely helpful and allowed us to plan our wedding ourselves and save the cost of hiring a planner. They were so helpful and supportive through not one but two COVID reschedules and made our day (when it finally came!) incredibly special. I simply cannot recommend Vine Hill enough. Go see for yourself!

We didn't come across Vine Hill House during our first round of venue searching and booked with a venue that went out of business and cancelled on us several months after booking. ...
After a second round of searching for venues that had availability for our date, we visited VHH and immediately knew we had found our venue. Then COVID, and we had to change our date, and Dan was willing to work with us to pick a backup date. To us and all couples that had to reschedule, he offered the ability to host a smaller gathering while waiting things out, at no additional cost. We didn't take him up on this because things opened up quickly enough to host the main event, but really appreciated that he was going out of his way to help us, especially considering that it had been such a hard year for him and all others in the wedding and private party industry.
VHH is the perfect place to have an outdoor wedding in Sonoma, and Dan, the owner, knows exactly how to throw the perfect wedding and reception. We (the couple) have had the benefit of going to several Sonoma weddings before hosting our own, and we quickly learned the importance of shade before the sun sets and sources of warmth after the sun sets. Dan has the evening planned out perfectly so guests are in shade for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and then dinner, with patio heaters if it gets chilly after sundown. In addition the space is laid out perfectly so that everything is compact and easy to find, while still spaced out enough that guests (and the wedding couple) can find moments to themselves. The space is also wired for sound so our DJ could easily make sure that everyone was heard during the ceremony and speeches, and enjoy the music during dancing.
As part of the wedding package, you have use of a private house all day, and we didn't really understand the benefit of this, so let me tell you it is so nice to have access to a private bathroom and a place to catch your breath between ceremony and dinner, all while still being able to see your guests having a great time right outside.
Our guests couldn't stop raving about how beautiful the view was, both during and after the event. Several times during set up and during the event we would just stare off into the distance, down the hill of grapes to the valley and water below, thinking how lucky we were to get married at such a beautiful place.

Our wedding day was pure magic, and everything went smoothly. We felt like we were in the best dream ever and our wedding guests loved everything about the Vine Hill House Venue. Dan and Dawnyel were there the day of making sure everything was seamless. Thank you Vine Hill House for making our dream wedding day a reality!

Dan and Dawnyel are the perfect team and are some of the most organized people i've ever met and it takes SO much stress away from you and your partner. They made so many wonderful recommendations of vendors because they know what they are talking about. It took away so much time from having to look people up. I trusted in them and so glad I did because our wedding was absolutely perfect from start to finish. They allow you to just focus on the day and having fun that you don't even realize how much work is going on in the background. They work VERY hard to make your day perfect!
Our day was better than we would have ever expected and I truly give a lot of credit to their team and the venue itself. People were taken back by the whole thing. Seriously consider getting married here, it was the best decision we ever made, besides getting married :)

My husband and I live in NJ but we always knew we wanted to get married in Sonoma Wine Country. Vine Hill House was the perfect venue for our vision - romantic, outdoors, beautifu...
l but comfortable. We wanted everything to be outdoors which we found to be an issue for a lot of other venues we looked into, but Vine Hill had the perfect layout for separate ceremony, reception, bar and lawn games areas that we wanted. We loved pretty much everything, but the market lights, wine grove for the whiskey bar and of course the gorgeous view were our favorites.
Despite some early delays in communication (which were likely due to our wedding being so far away - we booked 2 years out), we always felt that our wedding was in good hands with Dan and Dawnyel. They were very organized and helpful, especially in the months leading up to the wedding, which was a Godsend for me as I planned it alone from across the country. I highly recommend hiring Dawnyel as a day-of coordinator - she was on top of everything, set all of our décor up beautifully, kept in communication with our vendors throughout the day, was super sweet and honestly really fun to be around! All of my bridesmaids were raving about her as well.
I am still hearing from my guests how "perfect" my wedding was, mostly because of the gorgeous venue & the general vibe it had. The trees surrounding the ceremony space made the 100 degree day feel comfortable, the beautiful vineyard views from dinner seemed to be a hit and the market lights over the dining area, dance floor and trees everywhere gave our wedding the romantic feel we were looking for. Dan & Dawnyel took care of everything in a very organized and professional way and there was nothing I needed to do on the day of my wedding - they made it perfect and allowed my husband & I to just relax and have fun with our guests. It was even more perfect than I could've imagined.
I'd definitely recommend Vine Hill House to anyone looking for an affordable, beautiful wedding in the area. Thanks!

We also had Dawnyel as our day-of help and I honestly don't know what we would have done without her! The setups looked stunning and absolutely perfect. Throughout the planning process, friends and family all warned us that "something will go wrong" but if something went wrong on our day, I certainly didn't know about it. Dawnyel had everything handled and somehow managed to be smiling and positive the entire day. And she made sure I always had a full glass of champagne during the reception! :)
All of our vendors shared that they love working at Vine Hill House and we can see why. Our friends and family who attended the wedding all said it was the best they'd been to. The property is gorgeous, warm, friendly, and exactly what we could have hoped for for our day.
We love that we're in the wine club and can continue to visit our special place for years to come!

property, details, and views were! (Not to mention their wine is INSANELY delicious, and that's coming from a wine-snob!) I am so grateful we found this venue, but it's so much more than that! Dan cares so much about each couple, and all of their guests. I felt like he was either my father or uncle, that's how much I felt cared for and looked out for! There is no oversight, and he keeps the night smooth as can be! As for Dawnyel, wow! I think she is 6 women put into one body! She was getting things done I didn't even think about yet! She was beyond attentive to everything going on. She was delegating to vendors, coming up with solutions, decorating, fixing dresses, cleaning, setting up, you name it! All while having the best attitude, and constantly reminding me how fast the day would go by so that I could take in the moments! Even before the big day, Dan and Dawnyel both spent hours with my husband and I, guiding us through the process of planning our destination wedding, giving us suggestions and money-saving options, and graciously accepting and organizing a million shipments of wedding stuff from Florida! :)
If you want the most beautiful wedding surrounded by true professionals that care about you like family, you absolutely have to get married here!
