My best friend got married on 9/24/22 at the vineyards and her wedding was amazing! I was in the bridal party and I saw first hand how the staff pays attention to detail. They go above and beyond to make sure you are happy. My friend said from beginning to end her experience at the vineyards was magical! They are a family owned and operated business and make u feel like family. They listen to ur wants and needs. We all had the best experience with the staff. The food was amazing. The grounds are beautiful. The bridal suite is huge and has amazing lighting to help get ready and it is set up to take beautiful pictures. If you are getting married I would totally recommend the vineyards for your special day! read more

We had our wedding at The Vineyards and we truly had the best experience. It's not only beautiful and luxurious, but their service is top notch. We cannot thank Shadi, Soroor, Jimmy, and their staff enough. There are a few moments I want to share that showed us how awesome they are at what they do. Prior to the ceremony, my husbands tux had some wrinkles and Soroor went ahead and steamed it without us even asking. At the end of the ceremony, they had drinks for our entire bridal party and a cold towel for me since it was such a hot day! When we were running way behind schedule during the reception, they pivoted and made sure we got everything we wanted done on our list. Everything felt so seamless and any time I was stressed about anything they got it covered for me. All of our family and friends enjoyed their time and could not stop talking about how gorgeous our venue was, how delicious the food is, and how much fun they had. We are extremely happy with our choice of venue and would recommend it to anyone! Not once did I ever feel unsupported as they were there with us throughout the entire way of wedding planning. Every question asked was always answered. We chose The Vineyards not just by its looks, but because we can see that they genuinely love what they do. Because of that, we truly had the best wedding day! read more

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding here and the venue is beautiful and the staff is really nice ! The only downside was after our rehearsal, we hung out in their bar/lounge area and it would have been nice if they had a few more menu items to share other than fried food. read more

If you are looking for a venue to have a magical wedding The Vineyards is the place .. Soroor, Shadi and the entire team are fantastic! The place is so beautiful. A special thanks to Early Campbell, she was extremely helpful during the ENTIRE Day. We were scheduled to have our wedding in March 2020 but due to Covid we were forced to change it to October. Everything worked out beautifully, we partnered with The Vineyards and made it happen. If you are hesitant about a Covid wedding, don't be! Everything was so safe, we held the ceremony outdoor at sunset and it was simply breathtaking. All guests 70 were socially distanced 6 feet apart. The food was also really delicious and it was nice to have an entire venue to ourselves. Thanks a million to the Vineyards for making it a memorable day. read more

I would give them a thousand stars if I could. Reasons I loved the Vineyards: 1) Flexibility - they were very easy to work with in terms of swapping out items in the all-inclusive package, adjusting start times, and accommodating requests from our caterer. I called Soroor in a slight panic the week of my wedding, because the makeup artist required an earlier start time if we were to take photos before the ceremony, and she accommodated! We toured a lot of wedding venues where the venue rental time was very strict, and you were upcharged if you or your vendors arrived even 15 mins before the start time, but the Vineyards was refreshingly accommodating to our requests. 2) Ease of planning and good vendors - We chose the all-inclusive package, because we didn't want to deal with the stress of coordinating all the different vendors, and I was definitely apprehensive about photographer, flowers, DJ, because I had no idea who they were. I trusted that Soroor and Jimmy had good taste as the Vineyards is beautiful, so I just took the gamble, and it paid off! The photographer was super easy to work with. I sent her some examples of the light and airy style I liked, and she delivered! The DJ was tasteful, mostly kept to playing music and making announcements, and was not obnoxious or trying to get the party started toooo hard (lol). He also had great insight about possible awkward moments and how to minimize them when we met with him. He was also very organized with his spreadsheet of song preferences, so we only had to meet once. We ended up doing our own caterer, because we wanted Vietnamese food, but we used the Vineyards for appetizers, and they were really good! I would not hesitate to use their catering package. 3) Convenience/ beautiful space - We loved that this venue was easy to get to and had a beautiful ceremony and reception space. We toured a couple of places where there was either a beautiful ceremony or a beautiful reception space, but not really both. Plus, the space was already nicely decorated, so we didn't have to worry about bringing in draping and lighting to spruce it up. The getting ready areas were huge, and the staff really made us feel at home, serving coffee and tea throughout the day. We didn't have any last minute emergencies, but I'm sure they would have taken care of it. 4) Great staff and service - our wedding day went off perfectly. There was a large staff directing people where to go, a day of coordinator handling all vendors, and our own caterer's additional staff. They also started collecting our things and packing them towards the end of the night, so we really had nothing to do. Overall, everyone complimented us on what a beautiful wedding we had, and we could not have done it without Soroor and the staff at the Vineyards. read more

Attended my Company's holiday party here. The winter wonderland decor was festive, fun, and relaxing. The bar was located in a cozy lounge area where you could sit and chat without yelling at the top of your lungs. The banquet/dance area was spacious with plenty of room to socialize and sway. Since I arrived after dark, I couldn't see the grounds very well. But the food, wine, music, and the company of my colleagues made for a wonderful and memorable night. read more

I visited 10 different venues, looking for the perfect one for our wedding. We picked the Vineyards and it was perfect! I love that the Vineyards is a family establishment. Shadi guided us through the wedding planning (included!) and she was a delight to work with. The wedding went exactly as planned and it really felt special. The venue is beautiful. The reception area looks amazing as is, but you can add any flowers and decorations that you want. I highly recommend the garden for the ceremony. It's a beautiful tableau and it felt cool getting married on a high platform. The food is top notch. I've never had better food at a wedding. The vineyards hosts a tasting twice a year with all the couples getting married. It's a fun event! You get to try all the entrees, appetizers, and drinks. You can't go wrong, but we choose steak, hummus (clucking delicious), chicken&waffles sliders, and cheese platter. read more

10 out of 10! What a beautiful venue this is. The staff was absolutely fantastic, and my cousins wedding was the most beautiful I have ever attended. Where the bride gets ready is spacious, and breathtaking. Everything about the venue was impressive. They got married in the garden, which you have to take a semi-steep path to get down to, but they offered rides on a golf cart which was very helpful and thoughtful making it no problem at all. If I could remarry my husband all over again, this is where it would be! Absolutely stunning. read more

To my Vineyards family, especially to Soroor and Jimmy, THANK YOU for making our wedding dreams and wishes become a reality! I got married at the Vineyards exactly 6 months ago on 11.11.22 and this place made everything so seamlessly easy and beautiful. There was never a moment of stress because they made sure to ease us through everything. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how our wedding was one of the most beautiful events they've attended. From the food, to the entertainment, to the service of the staff, everything was absolutely perfect! What I loved about this place the most was how family oriented this business is, and they truly made us feel like their own. I tell people all the time, if I could relive this day,I would do it over and over again! Thank you again and again Vineyards staff, Jimmy and Soroor! We love you guys! read more

Our daughter was married here several months ago. The cocktail bar space and the reception room were unique and set up to inspire a good time for all. The lighting effects staged a magical feeling upon entering each area. The outdoor venue for the ceremony made for beautiful photos, but had some challenges as far as access. Down a steep, switchback trail with stairs in various places, it was not easy to negotiate for anyone with balance issues, or women in long dresses with fancy footwear. Thankfully, no one tripped or fell, but it felt imminent. Also, the grassy area where seating was placed for the ceremony had some bald patches, uneven turf, and muddy spots. This was not ideal for guests, nor for the bridal party come photo time. Those are the reasons for the four star rating, versus five. The coordinator was excellent, from what we saw. We met her during the rehearsal, and she was ever-present during the day of the wedding. She must have put in a long day. Am sure the bride and groom had met with her multiple times before the big day, as she seemed quite knowledgeable about their wishes. Buffet-style dinner was attractively laid out, and filled with great tasting options. It was much more satisfying than most food prepared for a large gathering. Kudos for that! Service was smoothly carried out, enhancing the party. All in all, a great venue, aside from the outdoor logistical situation. A fun addition to the cocktail lounge area was a cascade waterfall effect on the exterior window. Someone likes to add a touch of whimsy to the ambiance. read more

Soroor and James are AMAZING. They truly go above and beyond and are more than accommodating. Planning a wedding isn't easy but, I'll tell you having them on your team makes it effortless. The owners are kind, warm, welcoming, communicative, organized, suggestive, and truly make you feel like "at home." Up until the big day their service exceeded our expectations. On the day of: Their team was on top of it. We received sooo many amazing compliments from our guests, they loved the venue, the location of our ceremony (garden), the food, and just how well executed the timeline was.

We had a wonderful experience with our daughter's Sweet 16 at The Vineyard's. James and his staff provided us and our guests with legendary service. The venue and grounds are clean and organized. The surrounding grounds are a wonderland of beautiful walkways providing gorgeous background for photos. The food is well prepared and delicious. James makes it easy and provides suggestions and planning ahead of your event day. We felt very comfortable while dealing with his staff. They definitely believe in providing great customer experience by following the Service Golden Rule "Under promise and over deliver" I am definitely recommending this venue to anyone who wants to have a professional, fun, beautiful and well organized event. Thanks James, your family and staff. You guys rock. Nino Lovato read more

Amazing place for a great dinner experience! Hidden away in Simi Valley, this event space is open on Thursdays for dinner and is well worth coming to. The staff are awesome and the food is incredible! Truly a hidden treasure! Of all the dishes we have experienced here, their ribs were some of the best we've ever had. Sadly, they are no longer on their menu for some reason which is very disappointing but there are many other delicious dishes to choose from. Come check out this place, I'm sure you will not be disappointed. PS to Management - Please bring back the ribs! read more

This is long overdue but if you're planning a wedding (or any event, for that matter) then I highly recommend The Vineyards. The venue itself is beautiful and the food is great, but its the service that sets this place apart from anywhere is. Soroor, Jimmy, Shadi, Deana and team are absolutely amazing. I honestly didn't know customer service could be as good as this. And when you're planning something as stressful as a wedding, customer service is vital. Their team really makes you feel like family. They were extremely accommodating and would pretty much grant any request we had (that they could). We had a great wedding and received a lot of compliments about our venue and the food. So do yourself a favor, make your life easy and ensure your wedding is amazing by going with The Vineyards. read more

My husband and I got married here in 2016 and we went back today, on our 3 year anniversary. I got goosebumps just driving into the parking lot thinking of the first time we toured it and how amazing our wedding day was 10 mths later. Soroor and Jimmy were amazing from that first tour to today when they saw our 14 mth old son we brought with. Best decision we made for our wedding was picking this venue! Also, wanted to add that we loved Shadi and all the bartenders and waitstaff and employees who helped make our day so great! I would 110% recommend this venue to anyone getting married in SoCal. read more

Where dreams come true! From the moment my (then fiance) now husband and I had our first appointment to view the property we were in love with what we were seeing. We met with Soroor, and we both can not say enough about how amazing of a person she is! Soroor made us feel so comfortable, stress-free, and really shared in our excitement. She genuinely asked about us as a couple and our needs for our wedding. When you book here you aren't just getting a beautiful venue, amazing food (literally all of our guest raved about the food to us and we most definitely agree), and a great wedding package; you are getting a team of WONDERFUL people who really care about your special day. Every time we went in for a meeting or just dropped by we felt so welcomed! The atmosphere is beautiful, everyone that worked there did such an amazing job to make our day perfect. Soroor, Jimmy, and the whole Vineyards team really went above and beyond and made us feel SO special. The care didn't stop there...after our wedding we noticed we had left something from the ceremony and the crew took the time to find it, clean it for us, and held it aside so we could pick it back up. We can not thank them all enough!! I'd recommend this place every single time! read more

Our wedding was perfect. I couldn't be happier or more blessed to have my ceremony and reception at The Vineyards in Simi Valley. When my Husband, then Fiance, and I toured the venue, The Vineyards became unforgettable. We knew somehow that this was "the place." We had some really beautiful kind of supernatural things happen during the first few weeks of engagement and at this place we had butterflies follow us around as we toured, then again when we signed our contract, and again on rehearsal day. It was like divine confirmation. We had a very short engagement and basically had 3 months to arrange EVERYTHING for our wedding. People asked us how we did it, and honestly, outside of eating, sleeping, and breathing wedding planning, a lot of credit goes to Soroor and Jimmy and Shadi and the team at The Vineyards. Having an inclusive venue with a trusted vendor package made preparing in limited time so much easier! I truly got to enjoy my wedding day and didn't have to worry about the schedule, decor, or things going to plan because I knew I was in good hands. We called places right away and of the 7, only 2 places picked up, including here. We got a tour the next day and were smitten. Soroor told us she wouldn't accept our money today even if we wanted and to go explore other venues and options first for peace of mind. We were blown away with that. They wanted to make sure we were happy and found the right place for our wedding more than securing a deposit and booking a date and at the same time were confident in their venue and knew if it was right we'd be back, and we did return to book shortly after! From beginning to finish, the team at The Vineyards treats you like family. They're attentive, assuring, ready to help with suggestions, and radiate warmth and kindness. They know you by first name basis, work with you, and sincerely love their work. We picked out our engagement ring from a family owned business in Ventura and we felt good also knowing our venue was family owned and operated and supported people in our own community. You don't get the same feeling from a corporate hotel, golf course, or rental estate. During our wedding and right after, our guests raved about how FUN our wedding was. That meant so much to us! We couldn't be happier and are so glad everyone had a great time. My Dad has a brace and walks with a cane and I wanted a venue with handicap accessibility and it worked out great for him. Even though there are a few steps around the venue, there are alternative paths that are completely flat. They even have a wheelchair on hand if you need it. We went with the vendor package and highly recommend it! Here's who we chose: DJ - Juan Del Villar (Deejay Kryptonite) Juan gives your reception so much energy and as a professional DJ knows when to cut certain songs short or seamlessly transition to another track to keep the vibe going. We forgot to bring stickers for the centerpiece prize game and with quick thinking he ended up doing a napkin game instead. Photographer - Liz and Mia Photography Liz is super thorough and communicates quickly. She kept my confidence at a 10 and paid great attention to details. Her assistant Joe was so kind and we are glad we had a secondary photographer to capture more angles and moments with her. Cake: Divine Pastry Shop [ @divine_pastry_shop] Flavor choices at least for the vendor package were kind of limited but they do incredible work! Flowers: Flowers by Scarlett [ @scarlett_theflorist ] Scarlett has a true passion for flowers and is very sweet. She got my vision and wowed us with her handiwork. Pros: - Day of coordinator is included and you are the only party that day - You're supporting a family run business and vendors who love what they do. I can't say enough about them. Everyone works together and knows the place inside and out. - The venue is gorgeous and offers 2 ceremony locations (garden or water wall) and ample parking - Water wall area is fully handicap accessible, garden area totally accessible with use of golf cart on site - Venue package option includes DJ, cake, photographer, and flowers if you want all inclusive - The staff is mic'd and can communicate with each other quickly and effectively even when they are across the room from each other. - Competitive pricing and value for what you get. When you do the math and add up the extra costs elsewhere, you quickly see how seamless and cost efficient it is to go all-inclusive. It saves a lot of extra work. - The bridal room and groom room is HUGE and private. Most places don't have a space at all for the groom or it isn't air conditioned/comfortable. The bridal room alone could house a small wedding ceremony. It's magical and perfect for getting ready photos. The bridal room has gorgeous natural light for true makeup application and its own bathroom so you don't have to risk running into the groom or guests before the event starts. -In house catering and the food is delicious read more

Very clean very helpful very friendly. Easy place to park. Very nice property with very pretty attractions.

Went to this venue for a wedding (lucky enough to be a part of the wedding party) and it was beautiful. Wedding was outside so it was a nice view of the sunset while watching the happy couple getting married. Indoor where the cocktail hour and reception were held, it was very nice and the decorations were well out together. read more

I don't even know where to begin!!! We had the most STUNNING and memorable wedding thanks to this beautiful venue, and most importantly, the staff. After our Tahoe venue didn't work out (in July 2023) my husband and I were scrambling to find a venue that was beautiful and not make us poor lol! We were so fortunate to have stumbled upon this venue and lucked out in securing a May 2024 wedding date. We selected the vendor package (highly worth it, highly recommend) and worked primarily with Shadi, who was an absolute saint through the entire process. She made it so easy to plan in a short timeline, offered flexibility constantly, and was always available to answer my incessant questions. Absolutely nothing went wrong the day of and we truly felt that it was our perfect wedding. It's now 2 months past our wedding, we still can't stop talking about how much we loved it and so many of our family and friends have told us that it's the best wedding they have been to!!! We wish we could relive this night all over again! Thank you to Shadi, Soroor, and the entire staff for creating such a beautiful moment in our lives. read more

After visiting multiple venues and becoming hopeless, coming across the Vineyards was the blessing we needed. Not only is the venue clean, beautiful, and photogenic from any angle, owners Jimmy and Soroor make every step of the way enjoyable.  They're personable, attentive, and are very down to earth. The whole family is incredible and their kids made our wedding day even more enjoyable by guests as our bartenders. The speedy responsiveness they have to any of your anxiety filled questions made the whole process of wedding planning so much more manageable. If you're on the fence of any venues, rest assured in that the Vineyards feels like a close family member is helping execute your dream wedding.  The food at our wedding was incredible and there are so many tasty options. I can't wait to celebrate anniversaries at their restaurant to keep the memories going! read more

Just had our wedding at this gorgeous place on Sunday Feb 6. Family run business and everyone was very professional, friendly, accommodating. My wife lost her mom in the past month, and they were very sensitive to her needs and called to give their condolences. We were very happy with wedding and will definitely recommend this venue to all our family and friends. Thank you so much! read more

We came here on a Thursday night. Setting and ambience beautiful. Food ok. Service sucked. The wine flight was weak, 2 out of 3 were filled to proper level, 1 glass was not even half of the normal level, I questioned it to the waiter and said yeah it does look weak but I don't pour them, sorry. A taster is a taster but at least give an honest taster. Service is slow, takes forever to get your food and drinks. Tough time to get your water glass refilled, maybe bring a bottle of water with you. Our table liked their specialty drinks, except the manhattan. The porky panini was pretty good, the curly fries were delicious. The steak and frites were popular at our table. Dirty plates sat on the table for a long time before we had to ask a server to please clear our table. The setting is beautiful outside and it's nice inside. If service gets better I would recommend this place. read more

I had my wedding there in October 2016. I have been waiting for my photos so I can upload them but I decided to write me review until I pick up my photos. First, the service was incredible. From the moment that I contacted them until the day after my wedding, they were so kind, responsive, and they went above and beyond any of our expectations. They are a warm and welcoming family that make you feel like family. Any questions I had (and as I bride I had many!!) they answered, and found solutions for. As for the place, it is truly beautiful! All of my guests said it was one of the most beautiful weddings they had gone to. I thought they were just being nice, but when I saw the photos, it looked straight out of a fairy tale. I had my wedding ceremony in the garden below! WOW!!!! Its so beautiful, especially when you set it up with all of your flowers. You get married with the sound of the waterfall! I had the cocktail hour outside in the front and side area. It was during sunset so the sky was beautiful, the weather was magnificent and everyone was very happy. We had them put a bar outside for us because we did not want anyone inside during cocktail hour. For reception, we went inside the main room and we also had a lounge area set up outside on the balcony area of the main room. I can keep writing about how perfect everything was. Soroor, was also my wedding coordinator. What a great decision that was!! Because she is the owner she was very familiar with the staff and the grounds so everything went as planned and easy breezy! I dealt with James at the beginning for the contract and what a sweet heart! They are a great couple and wonderful to work with. Overall I would give this place an A+ and I would not change one thing about that night! I really was blessed to have met them and had my wedding there! Pictures to come! read more

I can't recommend this venue highly enough! Shadi did not hesitate to answer any and all of the many questions I had leading up to the day of the wedding. She was so helpful and took much of the stress out of the wedding planning process. On the day of the wedding the entire staff could not have been more wonderful! The ceremony and reception spaces were beautifully set up, any guests needing assistance were driven around in golf carts, and they made sure we didn't have a single worry. Our guests can't stop raving about the delicious food, picturesque location, and welcoming and friendly staff. Our wedding was perfect thanks to the Vineyards and I would give more stars if I could. read more

Went here as a wedding guest and really enjoyed the venue. I even recommended it to my sister in law as a venue for her future nuptials. The ceremony was upstairs, while the cocktail and reception area were held downstairs. The ceremony room was probably my least favorite room. The a/c came on and was really distracting. Also, as a recommendation, I would get at least two microphones so that the audience can hear the minister AND the bride/groom during vow time. I really enjoyed the cocktail and reception area. Very beautiful. Great set up. The appetizers were really good as well. The DJ and Photo booth I believe were both part of the wedding package (venue vendors). The DJ was good, the photo booth had some good props with a nice attendant, and we were able to print as well as get digital copies of our photo. Staff and the wedding coordinator were really professional and super organized! They are a selling point on booking the venue in my opinion. The coordinator was on it. She was running around on her headset all night. Overall, this is a nice location for a wedding. If I were to get married, I'd definitely consider The Vineyards. read more

I was recently a bridesmaid for an outdoor wedding at this venue. As a bridesmaid, I really liked this venue. It was gorgeous, the bathrooms were clean, there were many places to take nice pictures, and it felt calm and serene with all the greenery around. One thing that stood out was how the venue dealt with the intense heat of the Valley. During the ceremony, they gave umbrellas to the guests to shade ourselves, which made a huge difference, and they provided iced water. There were also a lot of areas to hang out, prep for the wedding (in terms of getting dressed and doing hair/makeup), eat/drink, and take pictures. Overall, this venue made for a beautiful wedding and, as a bridesmaid/guest, I'd recommend it. read more

The Vineyards is a hidden gem in Simi Valley that opens up to a lush and gorgeous setting for special events and dining. It is a family-owned property with a serene atmosphere and breathtaking views.

We truly had an amazing dining experience and cannot wait to go back. read more

There isn't enough great things I can say about the staff, especially Shadi. Due to a few situations arising, my fiancé and I had to cancel our wedding here. But this was the first venue we had visit and Shadi's explanation, responsiveness and her passion to help create these beautiful events for couples, families etc. is incredible. Such a genuine family business. So sad I won't be having my wedding here after all or working with Shadi , but they definitely made a lifelong impression. read more

What an incredible experience! My sister and I selected this venue for a celebration our church was having for our mom. We were lucky enough to find this location, and it blew everyone away. Almost everyone from church complimented our selection of venue. It's an elegant venue, with plenty of space while still being intimate. What truly made it spectacular, is the customer service. Anything we needed, they provided. When our buffet ran out of food, they made up more super fast (we went over our food budget.) They also added beautiful lighting and little details that elevated the venue even more! It's a family owned/run operation, and they are the kindest folks my sister and I have ever come across. Hopefully we can swing by for a meal one of these days, it's just such a beautiful place to be :D Thank you Vineyards team! For everything. It was perfect! read more

Great food and fantastic service. The venue is beautiful and I can't wait to go back.

We were looking for an all inclusive location that would help keep wedding planning down to a minimum for us so we didn't have to hire a wedding planner. We visited 3 venues in our area and The Vineyards was by far the best choice just on paper. Everything that the other locations charge for is included at The Vineyards (colored napkins, chiavari chairs, rehearsal time, extended getting ready time, set up and tear down to name a few). Once you get to know Shadi, Soroor, and Jimmy then you will know it's the best choice not just on paper, but overall. Once you have a wedding there you become a member of their family and they treat you like family from the beginning. Our inclusive package included a florist, photographer, DJ, and cake. It was exactly what we were looking for. However, it was still personalized because we have several florists, photographers, DJs, and bakers to choose from. Shadi was there for me to answer every one of my daily questions throughout the whole process. They were very responsive and personalized our wedding. They only have one event a day at The Vineyards so all of their focus is on you. Their getting ready room for the bride is HUGE. When we arrived at 12:00 pm for our 6:00 pm wedding to start getting ready, there was already champagne and water in the room. Soroor was making sure that I was eating and brought me food "just in case." The groom also has a large room to get ready in which is nice because the other places we looked at had nothing for the groom. Dena was our actual day of coordinator, but Shadi, Soroor, and Jimmy were there the whole day, also. Dena kept everything running smoothly and honestly she was magical...it was like she popped up anytime we needed her and then disappeared again. At the end of the night they packed everything up for us-including 2 extra dinners just in case my husband and I hadn't gotten to eat enough, plus a lot of other leftovers. (I love their homemade hummus and the artichoke stuffed chicken). It was a really nice touch. I can't say enough about how wonderful everything was at The Vineyards. I wouldn't change a thing. read more

On November 8th, 2015 we had the most magical, perfect wedding that we could possibly imagine. And The Vineyards was a huge part of what made the day so fantastic. I'm not even sure where to start when describing how absolutely phenomenal everything about this venue is. Visually, the grounds are stunning--gorgeous--a personal romantic fairytale come true. As beautiful as the venue is, it can't top the beauty of the people who work tirelessly to make sure people have the wedding of their dreams. I can't imagine our wedding being as special as it was without the staff of The Vineyards. Their care, love, and genuine passion made every step of the process a precious memory. When you're not sad about handing over a large check, you know you've found something good. The most telling thing I can say is this: I was ready to book The Vineyards after spending 45 minutes conversing with Jimmy and his daughter during a Bridal Show--before even seeing the place. I knew immediately that these were the type of people that made a wedding truly phenomenal. Jimmy, Soroor, and Angel worked closely with us, put up with our family's eccentricities, greeted us with enthusiasm and welcome whenever we came to them, and were genuinely wonderful people. I felt like they truly took us under their wing and made us a part of their family. You cannot hope to work with kinder, more dedicated people. This goes for the rest of the staff as well. Everyone involved with The Vineyards was warm, happy, and thoroughly competent at their tasks--though not too serious to not also enjoy themselves during the party. It's really a sense of family, and it goes beyond just The Vineyards staff. The relationship they have with local vendors really shows how close-knit and welcoming they are. Even the vendors were excited to learn they'd be working with the venue for our event! The Vineyards truly does it all. It's really the most romantic, fairytale setting for a wedding, and it was absolutely perfect for what we wanted. Their outdoor ceremony sites are both stunning (although the garden site is truly something special). The reception halls are beautifully decorated spaces that are welcoming and spacious. The lighting is naturally gorgeous & they offer lighting packages to make it even more customized. THE FOOD is amazing, which seems to be a hard thing to find out of a wedding venue. People are STILL talking about the meals we served (beef & goat cheese ravioli!). Their options are limitless (and everything tasted GREAT). They do appetizers, entrees, dessert bars--ice cream and fondue and coffee stations--everything you need to keep a roomful of people happy. The staff worked with us every step of the way. It's a very well-oiled machine, so you don't ever have to worry about anything going wrong. At the first sign of possible trouble, Soroor and her team are on it, sorting things out before anyone even notices. They were extremely hands on not only before our big day but on it as well--everything was fully staffed and the familiar faces we had spent months planning with were there, too. You truly feel well taken care of. They also provide amazing packages that help keep the cost in check and don't leave you wanting for anything. I can't believe how generally unstressed I was throughout the process, and how fondly I can think back on every dealing with Jimmy, Soroor, Angel and company. They helped make our special day absolutely magical. We're busy coming up with ideas for the next event in our lives that justifies a return to The Vineyards as a reception site. They're absolutely amazing. Our friends are still talking about how great the day was, and I have a feeling my husband and I might never stop. Stacey & Robby read more

Just had our wedding at The Vineyards! If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would! We looked at a few venues but as soon as we came to The Vineyards, Soroor and James made us feel like we were part of the family. We picked the All inclusive package which we were able to add and make changes to. They along with their staff and vendors are so amazing and professional. They made our wedding day absolutely magical. They were so flexible with any requests and the food and decorations and the flow of the day were perfect. All of our guests said what an amazing day it was and how perfect everything went. We highly recommend them for your wedding! Your day will be as magical and amazing as ours! read more

We had our wedding at The Vineyards a week ago today. From the time we toured the venue in January to our wedding day on October 19th, Soroor, Jimmy, Monique and the entire team were friendly, warm, professional and most of all they took great care of us. Even the day of the wedding, we both were having trouble tying our bow ties, Soroor jumped in and helped. She saved the day! Everyone in our wedding party, family and guests were impressed with the look of the venue (its beautiful) but they were more impressed by the way the team brought it all together! I'm recommending The Vineyards to all of my friends so hopefully I will be invited to a wedding there so I can experience the magic again!! Thank you again for making our special day so perfect and memorable. read more

4.5 Stars What really makes this place great is Soroor and Jimmy. They are really what sold us on the place. My wife and I were having a Persian/American wedding, and Jimmy and Soroor are American and Persian, so we immediately clicked. They are both friendly and helpful as can be and worked with us and our budget. Our wedding day was completely smooth and we had none of the nightmare vendor no-shows or screw-ups that I always hear about. I know the reason for that is mostly do to the organization of Soroor and the relationships she has with her vendors. Having a super mother-on-law helped as well. It has some very unique features and our guests all seemed to love it. As you can see by the pictures, it also made for some gorgeous settings for the photography. The only reason that I am giving The Vineyards 4.5 stars instead of 5 is because of the food. The appetizers were actually quite good, but the main course of steak was pretty have handed on the salt and overcooked. Luckily, I had such a fantastic time and everything else went so well that it really doesn't bother me that much. That being said, if you have the money, bring in your own catering. It just wasn't in the budget for us. Overall though, you aren't going to find a place where the people care as much as Soroor and Jimmy. We went to a lot of places before this, including their sister company Calamingos Ranch in Malibu, and no one even came close to touching the level of service that The Vineyards gave us from beginning to end. read more

There are not enough great things I can say about The Vineyards. First, we love the location itself. It is a beautiful location. Every little bit of that location matched mine and my wife's style perfectly. It was exactly what we wanted. It is a classy and elegant location. Not gaudy at all. It honest to God is a perfect wedding location. Now, with that said, there was something that we didn't expect to happen when dealing with the Vineyards. We didn't expect to to end up loving Soroor, Jim and the staff as much as we did. We did not expect to make friends out of this and that is exactly what we did. Soroor took such amazing care of us. Any time my wife and I would stop by, we never wanted to leave. They made us feel like we were part of the family. They did everything they possibly could to accomodate us and make our wedding day as beautiful as possible. And it was. Our day turned out gorgeous! Everyone had a great time. The lighting was beautiful. The food was great! It really was perfect. You know how everyone says "there is always something that goes wrong and doesn't turn out as planned on your wedding day"? Well that didn't happen with us. Our day turned out better than we could have ever expected. And it is all thanks to Soroor and the staff at the Vineyards. I can't thank them enough for making our wedding day more magical than we ever hoped for. And I can't stress enough to anyone reading this how much I recommend The Vineyards, for any special occasion. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you all at The Vineyards! We love you guys!!!! read more
