Incredible Service

We were over the moon happy to work with Annie at Alcantara. We had traveled there for weekend get-aways before and loved it, so it was our first choice for a wedding venue. I can’t speak highly enough about Annie. She was kind and responsive - went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. (Along with all the Alcantara staff!) I felt like I walked away from an incredible weekend with a new friend. Thank you, Annie!

LOVE this venue!

We absolutely loved our wedding venue, Alcantara Vineyards! The space is gorgeous, the wine was a huge hit and the venue coordinator, Annie, was fantastic to work with! She was quick to reply to every email filled with questions during the planning process and did everything she could the day of the wedding to make sure it was everything we wanted! She really stepped up and helped fix things throughout the night. Thank you Annie!

Fantastic Venue!

We absolutely adored having Alcantara as our wedding venue. We knew we wanted to get married there before we even got engaged, and the first time we actually “toured” it we knew there were no other options. Annie was truly fantastic to work with - she responded to every question, every email in such a timely manner no matter how big or small the question. The day of she truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly - we were even surprised with a touching note inside our guest book. Cannot recommend booking with Annie and Alcantara enough!

Perfect Wedding Day

I’m writing this super late but Annie was so helpful by answering questions leading up to the wedding and was a rockstar on my wedding day! She makes sure to put the couples’ needs first and always ran everything by us. The venue was stunning we hardly had any decor and we used the preferred vendors list and they did not disappoint! Out guests raved about how good the wine was and how stunning our venue was! Our wedding day was perfect thanks to Annie and Alcantera Vineyards and Winery!

Dream Wedding Came True

I must say this was the best wedding ever. Annie was the best venue coordinator anybody could have asked for. We came across Alcantara on  happenstance. It was our one year anniversary and stumbled into our new heaven. This is one of our favorite places to come to get away and they have some of the most amazing wine selections. This venue is gorgeous and offers everything that we ever dreamed of  for our big day. But Annie, we could not have done it without her. We came to the site multiple times sometimes just to relax and plan everything while sipping on amazing wine and great company. Other times she was there as a helping visionary letting us know different options and ideas that multiple people have done in the past.
We also love Alcantara's staff to the moon and back everybody there I feel knows who we are after everything we went through lol Cheyenne was a great bartender and handled everything and all of my guests spectacularly. Carrie the  manager of the tasting room came to the rescue 15 minutes before the ceremony to hem up a few last minute details. We love everybody there so much and we will go back as often as possible

Thank you Annie!

Planning a wedding is a tremendous hassle between finding a DJ, photographers, a venue, planner, florist, catering, finalizing guest lists, and much, much more. My partner and I felt a bit lost after touring countless venues and wedding conventions to find the right fit for what we wanted. When we met with Annie for our first tour at Alcantara Vineyard and Winery it was a huge relief. The grounds were extraordinarily stunning, the wine was FANTASTIC, and Annie was extremely helpful and transparent in answering all our questions. Annie was able to accommodate for any situation, rain or shine (literally). Our wedding day had off and on showers and Annie went above and beyond to make sure the rain wasn’t an issue, but rather made the day even more magical. The day of was remarkable. The open-air chapel provided coverage while also allowing for a natural setting in the middle of a beautiful vineyard. The sheer beauty of the chapel and setting were decoration enough. We anticipated a handful of guests to drink wine as most stick to beer, but it is 100% true that even if you don’t like wine, you will like Alcantara’s wine. We went through all of it before the rehearsal started and easily ordered more. Everyone loved it! I can’t recommend this venue enough for anyone planning their special day.

Magical venue

I cannot say enough great things about Alcantara Vineyards! We had our wedding 10/8/22 and it was absolutely magical. The venue is so beautiful on its own that you barely need to decorate. The wine is fabulous! Annie the venue coordinator is kind, organized, helpful and so wonderful to work with. She answered all my questions and helped the entire day run smoothly. If you want a beautiful destination wedding that’s laid back and perfect I highly recommend you check out Alcantara!

Beautiful Venue

First I want to say this venue is absolutely gorgeous and I am so happy my husband and I booked with them. Annie and her team are absolutely amazing. From constant communication, answering every question we had through out the process, providing suggestions to helping taking care of small details. Annie went above and beyond. Our DJ didn’t show up when they were supposed to and finding out they were canceling an hour and a half before the ceremony, Annie was on top of it from downloading music to helping us find amazing live music. She made sure everything would go smoothly. Thank you Annie you truly helped make this day super special to us.

Simply Amazing

We cannot express how wonderful Annie and the Alcantara team was in making our wedding day amazing. Our wedding had a lot of unexpected events due to weather that was handled beautifly by everyone. Annie was extraordinary all day and worked incredibly hard to make she we had an amazing day. As a bride she made sure that I had a great experience all day. This venue is beautiful and our pictures came out perfect. We had such an amazing experience not only during our wedding, but we visited prior to our wedding and it is a beautiful location. Annie had a list a vendors that she had worked with previously and they were also amazing. All of the last minute changes and adjustments could have been chaotic but with the Alcantara team and Annie it was our perfect day and my new husband and I could not be any more grateful. We look forward to visiting Alcantara Vineyards in the future to be able to remember our wedding and how wonderful it was.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
