    Table set up!

    Wow, is all I can say about this venue and every single person who works there! Renee and her team went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. It was beyond my expectations, and truly the best day ever!

    Reception tent set up

    If you're still venue shopping you can go ahead and stop your search and sign contract with La Grande yesterday because you have found it!! I can't say enough good things about La Grande, Renee, her daughter Kendra, and the entire La Grande team. From the moment we met Renee, we instantly felt like family. I'm an extremely type A person, down to I made a 112 page wedding binder for this wedding, and Renee didn't even bat an eye, but instead loved it and followed it to a T to create our absolute dream wedding! The attentiveness, attention to detail throughout the course of an entire year, the tasting months before, and just everything makes you feel like not just family, but you're the star of your own rom com. Renee always got back to us in a timely manner with our endless questions, with excitement, encouragement, and a level of safety in no judgment of your decisions, only support. Now for the day of, legit all my visions and dreams came true thank to the team. Renee keeps the day running smoothly, organized, encouraging, and almost feels like a second mom genuinely happy to witness and be a part of your wedding. She also helps keeps your family/bridal party in check which we loved given some issues in that department. They also take care of you, down to bringing us fans at the sweetheart table, constantly checking in on us, and having a freshly made drink whenever we sat down. We felt like true celebrities. Now a moment for Kendra. Before I walked down the aisle, I was having a minor panic. Had to kick everyone out of the bridal suite to breathe and calm down. Kendra grabbed me, and took me on the golf cart to walk down to my I dos, and was so kind, encouraging, and shared the most meaningful words before the biggest moment of my life. I'm so thankful for that moment because it truly showed what amazing people they all are and how much they truly care for their couples. Now being a newlywed, I'm actually kind of sad the whole process is over because it was THAT good, down to telling my husband we should plan a 1 year vow renewal back at La grande, or even our future photoshoot. Because I truly can't get enough of how beautiful, and amazing this venue is. I'll forever be grateful for La Grande, Renee, the entire team and everything they did for us. You WILL NOT regret having your party, or more importantly your wedding here. Thank you so much!!

    I could not wait to review this amazing venue. First of all, their customer service is superb! I was greeted and welcomed upon arrival. Also, the coordinator had a smile and a joyful disposition the entire night. She was a sweetheart too! I saw her tear up during the exchange of vows. The grounds are gorgeous and have beautiful details throughout. I would definitely have an event here.

    We had our wedding here on 4.24.24. It was hands down worth every penny. I'm not exaggerating, they have everything you'd imagine a wedding should be like. You start off with a tasting and meet some vendors, it felt like being in a movie. They also have a pretty lake for the ceremony. For your guest experience, they have ample parking and the reception area is on the same grounds. There is a house on the estate for your wedding party with a private Bridal Suite. Everybody kept asking me how I found this gem. If you want it done right, this is the place to go. We looked at 3 different venues and this was the best. They don't nickel and dime you for everything and they still offer the most amenities. The day of was wonderful, it was like a dream. The coordinator Renee was like a triplet, she was everywhere making sure the day ran smoothly so I could fully enjoy my day. They accommodated all of my requests and Renee was always a text message away. The food was awesome & I received so many compliments on it. The bar tenders were great and they have an option to provide plenty of alcohol (it was hit with our guests). My coworker told me how she over heard the bar tenders talking about how they had never seen anything like my wedding before and it was just the cherry on top! I felt like a Queen. Mama T was a character and my whole family loved her. It really made us all feel like a unit. It rained before my ceremony but Kendra was like an on-site therepist and she kept me calm when I was getting anxious. This place is professional! Renee even had a weather app that predicted when it would stop raining and then the entire staff dried the chairs in an instant. I'm telling you, this place is like a well-oiled machine, they really know their stuff. They provide a flexible time line and the grand exit was so cool! We are thoroughly impressed and I 10/10 recommend this place to everyone. If you're still deciding, this place is worth visiting. I still gush when I look at the photos.

    Beautiful intimate venue and amazing staff. It was giving Tuscany vibes. One of my close friend had her wedding here and I was part of the bridal party. I had the chance to go through the itinerary with her and the staff the day before her big day. Renee took the time to know everyone's name and the relationship with the bride and groom. She recommended everyone to bring everything in for rehearsal day to ensure the wedding day would be stress free. Renee planned everything out and it all came out incredible and memorable.

    La Grande Estates is by far one of the most beautiful venues I've ever seen. When we were looking for our wedding venue, La Grande was one of the first places we saw and we absolutely fell in love with it! From the moment we walked into the doors, Renee had the most radiant energy and truly made us feel at home. She was so excited about our wedding and inspired us with many ideas and wisdom. Even after seeing a few more venues, nothing could top our experience at La Grande. Just walking around the lake, vineyards and courtyard will melt your heart. You can truly feel the love on this property. Not only did the venue have the exact romantic and whimsical style we desired, but the 3 generations (Mama T, Renee & Kendra) were an absolute delight to meet and pleasure to work with. Renee calls herself the wedding fairy godmother and she is exactly that. We cannot thank her enough for the amount of genuine love and care she put into the entire planning process and how seamlessly she worked everything out. She was there for us every step of the way, answered any questions we had, and took a lot of pressure off of us. You will thank yourself later for choosing a venue with a coordinator as incredible as Renee. We recommend attending the tastings held at La Grande, where you get the opportunity to taste the delicious food, drinks, and meet some awesome vendors too. We were so thankful that La Grande had such a large variety of decor items that matched our aesthetic as well. Renee and Kendra are experts that know exactly how to make to your vision come to life. The day of our wedding, the entire team was on top of everything! Renee and the team are quick on their feet and efficient with everything they do. This allowed us to truly be present in our day and not worry about a thing. Kendra was so helpful with getting me over to the ceremony in my dress, and calmed my nerves which I appreciated so much. Our wedding guests were blown away by the venue and all the exquisite details. Our vendors also fell in love with the venue and team. At the end of the night, they helped pack everything up for us and Kendra went above and beyond ensuring we had everything and she handled our items with care which meant so much to us. The 3 generations truly feel like a family to us. We will definitely be going back to visit them, and may even have our future events held there. If you are looking for a wedding venue or event center, La Grande is your place. Thank you to this amazing team, we love you!!!

    When I first visited La Grande I knew this was the place I wanted my wedding to be at and I am so glad I did! Renee was my coordinator and she is AMAZING! She helped me out through the whole process, always replied to 1000+ texts (not kidding) She made the wedding planning so easy. Mama T, Kendra, & the WHOLE team definitely made my day extra special! So if you're thinking of looking for a venue look no further, LA GRANDE IS WHERE IT'S AT!

    Our wedding was perfect thanks to Renee and her team. She is an experienced coordinator and was on top of everything. All my guests commented how organized everything was and how the day ran super smooth. She and her team did all the decoration which was beautiful and just how I wanted it. The food omg it was so delicious, every single person loved it. Our ceremony was beautiful, the place, the weather, the sound of the water in the background, couldn't have asked for something better. All the staff was very friendly and made us feel so special. I'm so happy I found this place. Thank you Renee for making our dream wedding come true

    Every year on my bday I take family pixs with my kids. I emailed asking if they rent their facility for pixs & Renee was sucha sweetheart. She said I can just make a donation to a charity & come by for our family photos. Donated to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints & booked a date. We were greeted kindly by Renee while explaining where we can take pixs. (basically everywhere). Me & my kids had a blast! Thanks for your generosity La Grande Wedding & Events. I will definitely BOOK an event here.

    Beautiful

    From the moment I stepped on this property and met Renee, I knew this is where I want to get married. Absolutely stunning scenery for photos and reception area is adorable. Renee! She is the one you need to hire and just allow her to lead you through the day. My wedding was absolutely perfection and that has a lot to do with Renee who kept us in check, informed every step of the way and ran it all like a clockwork. Thank you from the bottom of my hear you all of the staff that worked so hard to make my dream wedding come true. Mr and Mrs Walker :-)

    We recently attended a wedding here and I was so pleasantly surprised. My husband was in the wedding so I got to tag along for the rehearsal and was very impressed with the level of attention to details and the level of experience the folks here offer. It is a family owned business and it is so well run. The place is majestic and feels like a hidden oasis. The whole night was beautiful organized and stress free (at least from the guest perspective ). If I were to be planning a wedding, I would definitely check this place out.

    Wow! What can I say about La Grande Estates without using INTIMATE, AMAZING, FULFILLING, LOVING and Mama T? We saw one venue before choosing this one because of Renee, Mama T and the whole team. I can remember being told to not worry about anything and to just show up and that's exactly what we did. My husband and I celebrated our wedding in the most beautiful way because of this team. My family and friends can not stop talking about their first experience being out after Covid. Mind you, I cancelled my first date with this venue due to the Corona Virus and they made sure to reschedule a year later without any hesitation or inconvenience. We felt safe and enjoyed ourselves to the max. Thank you Renee, Mama T and Family.

    See all

    Hello! Just wanted to say you know I did not pay that much it was way…read more more and I got receipts too. Please don't go on here like I didn't pay you $4000 since I needed 5 more tables added. Let's be honest! You know it was a lot for just a painted fence and some apples. I just want people to know that there is others who can do that job for way cheaper. Nothing like the pictures you have posted look close to my daughters event.

    Do you hate when your wedding vendor responds to you? Or shows up on time? How about forgets about…read moremoney they've given you? Or zip ties on your wedding flowers? Then this is the person for you. Lizeth constantly wouldn't reply to messages. Cancelled or showed up late to everything, including setting up the chairs for my wedding. Yes, she texted my day of coordinator at 5 am ON THE DAY OF MY WEDDING, saying she wasn't going to be there at the agreed upon time of 10 am, saying she'd be there at noon then showed up at 1 pm. Hit the trees of the venue with her truck. Brought the wrong cake stand so I sent $220 for a cake table and had to use the cardboard from the baker. My flowers had awful metal pieces and zip ties on them. I was embarrassed of what I had for my wedding party. Let alone my colors had gold and she put silver all over everything. Then she didn't show up to pick up her stuff at the time she said she would the following day and asked me to keep them another day, even though I'm out of state. If you want your wedding to go wrong, she's definitely your girl. Too bad zero stars aren't a thing.

After much research (I mean A LOT), I came across Simply Special Events, and met with Julie shortly after. She instantly won me over; she was not only fun to be with, she was organized, gave her input when I needed it, and was overall so obviously passionate about what she does. She helped me along during the last few months leading up to our wedding with countless little tasks and meetings, and truly became such a support system for me! The wedding day went off without a hitch! It was pretty incredible, considering there were so many moving parts at my venue, along with all the details. She took care of making the place look GORGEOUS, as well as coordinating our wedding ceremony (I swear there most have been two of her)! During the reception, she went above and beyond to make sure everything was running smoothly with all of the vendors, and took care of any little glitches along the way without us knowing it! Do yourself a favor and hire Julie! She is hands-down the most wonderful coordinator out there and is very competitively priced. I miss her already!!

    I cannot say enough good things about Janelle & the Visionary team. I don't think I could've gotten…read morethrough this wedding without them. Janelle was supposed to be purely my day of coordinator but she went above and beyond to support all the pivots of the pandemic. She was amazing with corralling my vendors and myself (since I was starting a new job and honestly did not do everything I needed to). Once the COVID shutdown happened, she quickly pivoted with me to plan a backyard wedding ceremony in less than a month. And boy did she pull it off! With her on your wedding day, there is not a single thing to worry about. She will bring your visions to life AND THEN SOME. She worked with me on my backyard wedding ceremony in August 2020 and grand wedding reception at the Academy of Sciences in August 2021 taking every curveball the pandemic has thrown our way without batting a lash. She even brought my leftover liquor and items back to our hotel so we could continue the party all while being barely 3 months postpartum! I can tell you that Janelle will be my go to for every major event from now on. You will kick yourself for not hiring her for your events.

    Where do I start? Welp, 5 stars is for sure NOT enough for this review!!…read more x100000000 I first reached out to Janelle - Visionary Events and Designs back in Oct 2017 while planning our civil wedding ceremony/celebration. My fiancé (at that time) and I weren't ready for a MEX-FIL grand wedding but still wanted to have a small gathering to celebrate our union. We met that Nov at starbucks Sunvalley Mall, and I knew right away that she was the perfect person for us. Me and Omar did get married on May 2018 thru the courthouse and fast forward to early March of 2019, we decided to actually plan for our big wedding which was set on June 6, 2020. Throughout the planning process, we met Danny (Janelle's husband and also part of Visionary Events and Designs team) they are both super talented and supeeeer nice and we just all get along very well, which made this whole wedding journey soooo much better! From creating our vision boards to our meetings which I alwayssss look forward to, Janelle & Danny made sure me and Omar (the groom-zilla) compromise in every decision we make. They are very neutral, explained pros and cons of every lil detail, mind you, there are details that we won't even probably think of until it was all laid down to us. The amount of details from planning a wedding is unbelievable. Which is why we appreciate them a loooot, like A LOT. Unfortunately, COVID hit and we had to postpone our wedding...... not only once but 3X!!! TBH, I seriously do not know what I'd do without Janelle during this time. The mixed of emotions from postponing to the stress of how things are uncertain. She took care of contacting each vendors and moving dates, made sure everything lined up. We did lost some vendors and she did looked for replacements right away, we trusted her 100000%. Our patience was tested and we are just super lucky we have Janelle to put things into the right place!!! Literally the amount of work she puts in behind every event are underestimated unless you actually experience first hand and see all the effort she does! Visionary Events and Designs stood by us from start to finish! ooof! (thankful, grateful, blessed 1000%) Fast forward to Oct 2, 2021, with sooo much anticipation and years in the making LOL, our dream wedding finally came true! All the hardwork and patience was definitely worth the wait!!!! I saw the venue layout through a pdf document, and bam! when I saw it in person I was speechless! It took me some time actually process everything as it just feels soooo surreal! Danny and Janelle made sure we had the most perfect and epic wedding PERIOD! I know there were challenges during the day of, but we honestly have no idea of anything. Which clearly explains that they solved whatever it was/it may be without taking us away from our special moment. I know we wouldn't be able to do it by ourselves, and we truly appreciate eeverrrrrrrryyything Visionary Events and Designs did to make it all possible! They are indeed THE DREAM TEAM. and we're lucky to call them OUR DREAM TEAM. Danny and Janelle isn't just our wedding planners, throughout the wedding planning journey, they've become family. We witnessed their amazing wedding in 2017 (thru social media LOL -we barely met) to actually celebrating their own milestone (Janelle's Baby Shower) and welcoming Baby Colton! We are soo blessed to be a part of their own journey as much as they've become part of ours as well. And we truly value their presence in our lives! We couldn't thank them enough as there's no words that can equal the amount of gratitude we feel for the both of them and Visionary Events and Designs. No 5 stars will be enough to rate everything that they have to offer! PERIOOODT. Highly recommend 10000/10000 to hire them as your next event planner/coordinator!!! Lastly, to Janelle and Danny, Visionary Events and Designs, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! We will forever cherish our friendship! The Romeros

    FIVE STARS!!! If there were more stars I would give more!! Marshecka was absolutely amazing!! I am…read moreso thankful for having met her and having her turn my family's vision into an absolutely dream come true!! I found Marshecka on Yelp. I had searched and searched and even met with a couple other party planners and event specialists. This business has so many qualified people who can really pull out all the stops. I was really looking for a genuine connection with the person that I chose to work with for our very special event. I am so thankful that I was able to find that connection with Marshecka and then some!! The event I was planning was my daughter's Quinceanera. One of the most important days in a young woman's life in the latin culture! It is an event that comes together with the love and support of the entire family (immediate and extended) . Marschecka was so patient and accommodating as I had constant input and ideas that I was sharing with her. I was working with a budget but wanted the world :-) Marschecka was absolutely amazing when it came to taking my vision and working within my means!! She was able to secure a vendor that provided uplighting for the entire ballroom. WOW!! It was so beautiful! Just the lighting alone added such an amazing touch of class!! My family and daughter's friends complimented the lighting so much! She also secured a vendor that took care of the balloons for us. It was very important to us that we have balloons but that the room did not look informal or too childish. Marshecka and her vendor took our vision and found the perfect way to compliment the ballroom!! My vision was for the entire ballroom to have draping. I saw so many pictures online of events that were just breathtaking because of draping!! Unfortunately, that amazing decor comes at a very expensive price and I didn't have the budget for it. Marshecka was able to take the budget I did have and the vision I had and designed an absolutely magnificent backdrop and head table decor!! It was such a beautiful focal point!! Marshecka's style and execution was more than I could have imagined!! It was so wonderful to hear family and friends feel like they were at a royal event without it compromising my budget!! Marshecka was has a great heart and compassion!! I recommend her to anyone looking to plan a special event! I feel like she treated me as if I was her family and that allowed me to enjoy my event and not stress about the details. She had my back the entire time!!

    You're either reading this because you're just starting out planning your wedding, or you've been…read moreplanning your wedding and you had no idea how much work it would be. I was in the latter category, and having never participated in the wedding planning process, I had no idea what a wedding coordinator did. I only found Marshecka after I had given serious consideration to cancelling what should have been a low key wedding reception. Simply stated, a wedding coordinator is the person you don't know you need until it really starts to hit the fan. When you're feeling overwhelmed, when your vendors go MIA after you've accepted their bid, when you have no idea how your venue is going to get setup in time for your event, when those you've hired to help aren't getting the job done, and when your significant other doesn't really seem interested in anything wedding related, this is your go to person. Do yourself a favor and hire Marshecka at the initial planning stages. Wedding coordinators may seem expensive, but you'll save yourself time and money if you aren't wedding savvy. My family and friends that came to help setup our venue and deliver the décor had nothing but positive things to say about Marshecka and her team. When they needed something, her response was, "I'm on it." I thought she was a bargain for all of the work she got accomplished, and believe me, with all of the décor and vendors at our reception, she had a lot of work to do. My only regret was not hiring her sooner, because I think she could have made my life much easier.

    My AMAZING wedding would not have been possible without TDE! We chose the Glitz package with a few…read moreadd-ons, and it was worth every penny. My husband and I received countless compliments on how smooth, organized, and beautiful our wedding was. Thanks to the incredible TDE team, I was able to enjoy the most perfect wedding day. Jessica: Jessica was our main point of contact throughout the planning process, and she was truly amazing. Whether we had questions or requests for the decorators, MC, DJ, day-of coordinator, photographers, videographers, or HMUA, she was always there to help. She was patient, kind, incredibly organized, and never made me feel like my questions were too much. Our Service Instruction worksheet was so detailed that every vendor knew exactly what to expect, which made the entire day run seamlessly. Decoration Team: The décor for both our ceremony and reception was absolutely stunning. Just two weeks before the wedding, I made a major change to our reception backdrop, and the team worked hard to bring my new vision to life. Jessica even arranged for me to see digital mockups after we discussed how important they were to me. Because of that, I was able to completely refresh the design from the inspiration I had shared over a year earlier. My advice: be as specific as possible about what you like and don't like--it really helps the decorators create your vision. Everything was executed beautifully. MC Eric: Eric was phenomenal! We specifically wanted a bilingual English/Vietnamese MC, and he exceeded every expectation. Even our hard-to-impress Vietnamese aunties and uncles couldn't stop complimenting him. He was charismatic, organized, and handled last-minute changes effortlessly. We had to adjust our timeline during the reception, including pausing photos and adding speeches, and he kept everything flowing naturally without awkward downtime. He also perfectly coordinated our unique sequence of dances with the DJ, making every transition feel seamless. DJ Otis: We didn't know who our DJ would be until the wedding day, and we were thrilled it was Otis! He absolutely nailed the music all night. The dance floor stayed packed until 11 PM because he knew exactly how to read the crowd. He mixed current hits with 70s-90s favorites that kept both younger guests and the older Vietnamese crowd dancing. The glow sticks and light-up glasses were a huge hit, and the energy never dropped. Day-of Coordinator Carina: Carina was incredible. She was warm, personable, and unbelievably organized. I thought my planning documents were detailed, but hers were even more thorough! She made me feel completely at ease leading up to the wedding and even drove to Pleasanton to run our rehearsal (an add-on that was absolutely worth it). Multiple vendors and family members commented on how efficient and organized she was. Photography & Videography: Our package included an engagement shoot plus two photographers and two videographers. Sam photographed both our engagement session and wedding, and his work was beautiful. We chose his light and airy editing style, and our engagement photos turned out amazing. On the wedding day, Sam and Christine were fantastic. They captured every moment while making us feel comfortable. One thing I'll never forget was how Sam noticed we hadn't had a moment to ourselves because of nonstop photos. He quietly pulled us away under the guise of a private reception reveal so we could enjoy a few peaceful minutes together. It was such a thoughtful gesture. Overall, I couldn't be happier that we chose TDE. If you're looking for a wedding that's beautiful, organized, low-stress, and genuinely enjoyable, I HIGHLY recommend them. They truly made our dream wedding come to life.

    I had a very positive experience working with TDE. It was easy to schedule a free consultation,…read morewhere we first spoke with Otis, and could ask many questions up front before deciding to move forward. Otis was kind with great attention to detail from the start. Ultimately, we decided with the glam package and our contract was very clear to understand with cost breakdown for removal of specific services / add-ons. I updated it many times with Jessica, our planner, as we made changes throughout the months, and she was always so patient and clear. Our MC Otis did a wonderful job with maintaining flow of the program. Otis was also working as DJ for a good portion of the evening, so props to him! We had closer to an hour compared to 1.5 hours of open dancing because we were behind schedule, but everybody was on the dance floor and he kept the party going seamlessly. Weddings are hectic and there are so many moving parts; we did get behind schedule but we were still able to do everything we wanted to do. Our photo & video services were set to end, but Otis was very professional in discussing with us if we wanted to extend our video services, communicative on additional cost, at the moment. Our photographer, Ben, along with the team Stanford and videographer, Christina, were so fun to work with. Ben was great at providing direction, which is especially helpful since we were not used to posing. I have not received photo & video yet as it has only been a week, but from an experience standpoint, they were attentive to detail, communicative, and glided effortlessly through the event. My makeup artist, Vivi, is the sweetest person. She was super attentive to detail and my particular skin type. I was worried about makeup because I don't wear heavy makeup often. I ended up paying for a make-up trial, and I was so happy working with Vivi that I had no worries for the wedding day. We also added-on make up for our mothers, which Vivi did the morning of. The reception decor turned out so pretty! Everything was set-up as scheduled. I was really happy with the welcome backdrop and name sign. It was also great to take pictures with guests with the backdrop since we had time during cocktail hour. We asked TDE to incorporate a large screen as the backdrop of our sweetheart table, so we found an example from a previous wedding they did, and it turned out exactly as expected. We added the photo-booth, which was so popular with the guests! There were so many cool props and our guests were having tons of fun with it. I also sent TDE a custom drawing that I wanted for the photo strips- and it turned out just like I imagined. We chose Grand Dynasty as our reception venue, and TDE communicated set-up details with our restaurant event manager, Esmond, in the days leading up to the event. I highly recommend TDE and the team that we worked with! Thank you for making it an unforgettable experience.
