I was attended a non profit fundraiser we were utilizing the kitchen everything we needed was there. They have a great stage and everything was cleaning up kept the patio area is very beautiful with the fountain in the center the only issue we had here was as soon as it became desk there was no lighting outside which was a shame because we could've taken a lot more pictures out there as the temperatures cooled down I think some people might've even danced out on the patio-we did have a giant game of wood and dominoes that we were going to play but it was too dark to do so. Overall I would give it an 8.5 out of 10-I removed one of the stars because of the lighting issues which is crucial when you have a lot of people to entertain

While growing up in Windsor, I had been to the Furth Center for quinceañeras and school dances, so…read moreit just always seemed kind of boring or standard. A couple of years ago, I was looking for a place to host our wedding reception. Anyone planning a wedding in Sonoma County knows that venues don't come cheap. With a guest list of nearly 200, we were starting to freak out. The Furth Center came across my list and I decided to check it out again, just for the heck of it. The look we wanted for the wedding was an old Spanish mission feel and the Furth Center definitely delivered. It was like I was looking at it through a new set of eyes. I don't know if they had remodeled or if I was just that blind when I was in high school, but it really is a gorgeous facility. I had some concerns as the event date drew near, since the man I had been coordinating with ended up leaving and a new person was put in charge of my event. Many of the files had gone missing and a lot of the things he had promised were not written down. However, the new coordinator took care of everything (along with their facility manager- ugh, I wish I could remember her name!). Our wedding reception was a hit and they really took care of us. The dance floor is pretty big and there is PLENTY of room for tables/seating. They have a stage (where we put the dj) and they took care of setting up the tables and bars. I hired a cleaning crew to pick up after the event, since they're not responsible for that, but that's understandable. Their outdoor fountain area was perfect for pictures. The ceiling had white linen draped with twinkly lights, which really gave it a nice vibe. I'm so glad we booked with them! I would do it all over again! :)

The grounds are gorgeous, well kept, and somewhat whimsical. The owners (Karen and Jack) have a great eye for blending their beautiful gardens with the stunning Alexander Valley. Everyone was stunned by the beauty of the location. The property functions brilliantly as a wedding location. We had 125 guests for a ceremony, formal seated dinner, dancing, and a photobooth. There is a large area that is well hidden from the rest of the property that is perfect for catering and event prep work. Note that you have to get clever with catering, because the house kitchen is not to be used for cooking for large crowds. We used a paella caterer, which worked brilliantly. One of the secrets the property holds is the beautiful lighting that appears after dark. There is even a chandelier in a tree! We wouldn't have imagined the property could actually look even more beautiful after dark. The home itself is absolutely gorgeous, and it was such a treat to be able to have our entire immediate family together in one spot for three days. We echo the other reviews regarding the owners. Although a brilliant event space, the property is also Karen and Jack's home, and they expect you to respect it as such. So long as you understand this, everything should go smoothly. There were a couple of bumps between the owners and our wedding planner, but everything worked out in the end. Be sure to ask Karen her ideas if you take a tour. She had some creative insights on how to use the property.

They somehow surpassed all expectations and hopes for our wedding. Let me start with the venue. I knew Catelli's would show well for a wedding, but it was truly unbelievable, especially after dark. We held the ceremony in the garden, and it was exactly what we would hope for. Intimate, beautifully decorated, and covered with lush green foliage in every direction. The reception was held on the patio, and was beautiful. We received dozens of comments from those who attended the wedding about how perfect and gorgeous the venue was. From the marble floor, to the wall of green, the beautiful olive trees, the landscape lighting, down to even the bathrooms. No stone has been left unturned at Catelli's. Secondly, the service from the staff and our coordinator were both professional and engaging. They made this day easy for us, which is saying a lot. Even the service and bar staff seemed to be having a good time, which seems like a rarity these days. Finally, the food was top notch. Our hat is off to chef Dominica Catelli. From the charcuterie table, to the appetizers, the main course, and finally the dessert table, every detail was covered perfectly. Our guests made countless comments on the food. For a day that you think about your entire life, we honestly don't know how it could have gone better. Much of that is thanks to Catelli's
