    I'm not one to write reviews, but I would like to give props to Jackie, the recommended wedding…read morecoordinator of Canyon View. My wedding would not be possible w/out her! She is the main person to set up ALL items for tables, reach out to your vendors & provide you a specific timeline during the day. If you know exactly what to do w/ your event, she will accommodate your details & she will advise you if you need help. Thank you so much Jackie, couldn't have done it w/out you! :]

    I found Jackie on Instagram because we were looking for a day of coordinator for our wedding. I…read moremessaged her the night before, and we had our phone conversation the next morning. My husband and I thought she was very professional and experienced since she was considered one of the listed vendors at our venue. I never made such an impulsive purchase, but I immediately asked for the contract and sent her the deposit that afternoon. One thing I liked about Jackie was the fact that I was able to text her anytime and any day if I had a question or needed something. Not only was she responsive, she would ask around if she didn't have the answer. The month before our big day, we had our meeting to go over details and timeline. She made sure to reach out to every single one of our vendors so everyone was on the same page. The week of the wedding was hectic for us, but she was made sure her timeline matched our photographer and everything was in place. I also had chargers that I wanted for every guest, and she made that happen! On our big day, she arrived to the venue at 2:30pm, so she could make sure all the vendors were there. When we arrived around 4pm, she made sure the bridal party knew what to do for the ceremony since we didn't have rehearsal the day before. She checked in with us throughout the night and gave us a heads up before the next agenda. She orchestrated the entire night so effortlessly that I felt at ease. If I could give Jackie more than 5 stars, I would! She was the best impromptu decision I've made throughout our entire wedding process. I'm so glad she was part of our wedding and cannot thank her enough!!!

    I don't usually take the time to write reviews, but this experience truly deserves it. Every time…read morewe visit Calivirgin Winery in Lodi, we always hope Rachelle is there--and that alone says a lot. She has a way of making each visit feel special without trying too hard. She's welcoming, genuine, and incredibly knowledgeable, but never overwhelming. Instead, she creates a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere that makes you want to stay longer and come back again. What really sets her apart is her consistency. It's not just one great visit--every time we've been there, she's gone above and beyond with the same positive energy and attention to detail. Because of her, this winery has become our go-to spot. I even celebrated my 50th birthday here, and it was such a memorable experience. All of my guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing Rachelle was--everyone felt taken care of, comfortable, and truly impressed with the service. The winery itself is beautiful, accommodating, and perfect for gatherings, which made the celebration even better. On top of that, the entire team at Calivirgin is fantastic. Everyone we've interacted with has been friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming, which really adds to the overall experience. The wine is excellent, the setting is great, and the people are what truly make this place stand out for us. We'll absolutely keep coming back, and a big reason for that is Rachelle.

We stood 6+ people deep line of customers waiting to be acknowledged. There were a lot of other employees working... walking past us and chilling. I guess front desk was not a priority to have multiple people covering or filling in. I finally just asked if we could seat ourselves, which i was told I could go to bars. We ultimately had a good time and Sophia was good to us at the bar. As a student & ptomoter of "efficiency" & "customer service", i would love to impart some wisdom in these areas, to help your business thrive. Good & tasty products!

    Spent a beautiful afternoon at Viaggio with our besties, lounging on the grass and sipping our…read morefavorite Peach Mango duh! The main lawn area was closed off for a wedding starting at 4:30 PM, so we set up on the extended grass section to the left. We brought a mat to relax on and a deck of cards, which turned into some pretty competitive games of Speed. For food, we ordered 2 dozen oysters and a pepperoni pizza with added jalapeños. We specifically mentioned NO pineapple due to my partner's allergy. After finishing our oysters, our pizza was finally ready... and guess what? It had pineapple on it. Thankfully, we checked before taking it back to our area. The staff remade it correctly, and about 30 minutes later we got the jalapeño pizza we originally ordered. It was absolutely delicious! One more little hiccup: after opening my tab, the staff member forgot to return my ID. I didn't realize it until I was already back in Elk Grove, so I had to make the trip back to pick it up. Despite those mishaps, Viaggio is always a vibe. Great selection of wine, plenty of space to relax, and tons of cute photo opportunities. We'll definitely be back more often .. just like old times! Cheers!

    The food is just so, so. The service leaves a lot to be desired. It took an hour to get our food,…read moreand each one in our party was served at separate times. We were the only people there at 11:00 when they opened. A bus load of students arrived after we ordered, and it seems we were just dismissed after that. We had booked our wedding for next summer, but had to cancel due to our losing faith in the management. We did not expect a full refund, but because it was over a year away, we felt it would show good business to at least refund half of our deposit. To this day we haven't received so much as a phone call from owners, or management.

From the moment we arrived, the level of service was top-notch. The staff is consistently attentive, ensuring that every detail is taken care of, making hosting events here a breeze. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for both formal gatherings and casual get-togethers. The layout accommodates large groups as needed, and the decor adds a charming touch to the overall experience, allowing you to incorporate any themed decor you have. As for the food, it's a delightful blend of flavors that keeps everyone happy. Whether you're there for a full meal or just a quick bite, the menu has something for everyone. I highly recommend their signature dishes; they never fail to impress. And hopefully, you have some focaccia left over to take home--it's the best!

So many of our guests complimented on how wonderful and delicious the food was and asked who we used. Working with Paul and Yvette was wonderful. They helped me figure out what I wanted to serve and the type of party I was having. There were barely any leftovers because people had gone back for seconds and thirds. I had ordered the tri-tip, chicken piccata, pesto pasta, Caesar salad, focaccia bread, and veggies- SO Delicious!!! It was so tasty and delicious. It was perfection!!! if you are considering to use a catering company for a big or small event I highly recommend using Heritage Dining and provisions, you or your guest will not be disappointed.
