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! :)

After 6 pm the street outside is relatively quiet hence plenty of street parking available. If your party is starting earlier there's also a Parking Garage close by.

Our wedding was nothing short of a dream and Sova was a delight to work with…read more We reached out earlier this year to tour the facility and immediately knew Denise was different and didn't have the same stuffy attitude so many other wedding industry people have in Sonoma County. The grounds took our breath away, but it was also Denise's expertise and understanding of our limited budget that helped us decide this was the right venue. Throughout planning Denise was amazing and answered all of my insane questions and did multiple tours with family members. We decided to go with Preferred Sonoma Caterers from their vendor list and we were really happy with them as well. Sova including tables and chairs was amazing, and we did all our other rentals through PSC. We also rented the farmhouse for the week which I highly recommend. Our pictures from around the house turned out amazing. I have to stress that the website pictures don't do this place justice. It's beyond gorgeous. Overall, Sova was an exceptional backdrop to our day and I highly recommend it as a venue. Schedule a tour if you're on the fence, you won't regret it!
