The Perfect Day

My husband and I had the perfect wedding day at Brotherhood Winery. Every single staff member we worked with was phenomenal. Kathleen, Juan and Gina assisted us in planning/designing our wine bottle favors, and Kathleen served as our attendant for the wine cellar photos. The wine bottle favors were a big hit! Donny, the lead contact we worked with, was incredibly communicative and very flexible. He worked with us to ensure our vision came true. We hired the caterers onsite – Inn Credible Caterers – which was “incredible!” The venue itself is stunning. The interior of the Grand Salon speaks for itself. The Brotherhood allowed us to bring in the décor that brought our vision to life. The venue was easy to work with. Everyone we interacted with was truly pleasant and felt genuinely excited for my husband and I not just on our wedding day, but throughout the planning process as well. Our day went so smooth, and we enjoyed every minute of it! Our guests raved not just about the food, but the atmosphere as well. It is a venue like no other. To all my fellow brides – you won’t regret booking at Brotherhood Winery!

The Perfect Wedding Venue

I am extremely happy that I chose brotherhood for my wedding venue. The venue is gorgeous and the staff are extraordinary. They were very communicative with me and helped me organize a wedding, while I was living in Atlanta, GA. If you want a wedding that feels unique and is beautiful and guests love, this is the place. Their wine is also very delicious! They have a list of recommended vendors I would definitely use. They have worked with the vendors they recommend for years, and they all know how to produce an extraordinary day. Thank you for making it a perfect day!

What a wonderful experience!

You will not regret having your wedding here! Brotherhood is such a beautiful venue full of charm and romance. This was the only venue we looked at sine we fell in love when we visited, and we were 100% correct in following our instincts. Our wedding was 170 people and the room was full, but didn't feel crowded! It poured rain the entire day, but the photos still came out so wonderful and the staff did an awesome job moving the ceremony under the tent. Donny was a joy to work with -- friendly, kind, responsive, and calm-- and was available for all my questions, especially the week of when I was feeling anxious about the weather! We used the on-site caterer (Inn credible caterers) and Trish was so helpful, guiding us through each step of the planning process and then coordinating us and our families/ wedding party on the day of. Our guests LOVED the wine and food, and commented on how beautiful the venue was. All of my other vendors shared with me how much they love working with the staff at Brotherhood. As soon as our wedding ended, I immediately wished we could do it all over again! Brotherhood is truly a hidden gem and one of a kind. We also love that we can go back to the winery and celebrate our anniversary in the years to come!

Wedding Dream Come True

We got married at Brotherhood — the venue is terrific and gorgeous. Donny and the team at InnCredible caterers were truly a pleasure to work with and had every detail in mind and under control. I had a stress free wedding thanks to them, nothing but amazing things to say. I would do it all again!

Perfect venue for our dream wedding

The most stunning venue for our dream wedding! The staff was so helpful and friendly, and it was clear they cared about making our big day truly amazing. The food from the in-house catering company was tremendous and so creative. We got compliments on everything all night long. Couldn’t recommend Brotherhood Winery enough.

Amazing Venue!!!

Can’t say enough great things about Brotherhood. A beautiful venue and the service is top notch. Donny made everything effortless and took so much stress off the planning process. No hidden fees, very upfront and transparent about everything - what you see is what you get in the best way possible. Our wedding was a dream, thank you Brotherhood and Inncredible Caterers!!!!

Wedding at Brotherhood Winery

If we could summarize our wedding at Brotherhood Winery in just one word, that word would be “WOW”. We honestly couldn’t have a planned a better day if we tried. Everything about this venue is perfect. If you want a venue that is rustic and elegant, this is the place for you. The grounds there offer so many different backgrounds for photos. When you look at your photos and see all the amazing backgrounds, you would think you’re at multiple locations, but no they are all on the same ground. The photos you can take in their underground wine cellar are by far our favorites. We had close to 160 people attend and there was plenty of room to dance and mingle. We worked with Donny to arrange the date and do a tour of the venue. Our experience with Donny was amazing, he was so responsive and very helpful throughout the whole process. From the first time we met with him to view the location, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We love the fact that with this winery as our venue, we now have the unique experience of being able to visit where we got married and enjoy a nice glass of wine and relive the memories anytime we want. The Caterer we used was Inncredible Caterers. Not only did they provide food but they also acted as our day of coordinator and were perfect! For our full review on the ceremony/cocktail hour/reception, please see our reviews for Inncredible Caterers (Spoiler Alert: they were just as amazing)

The Most Romantic Venue

Brotherhood was my dream venue. I cannot say enough good things. The winery itself is so beautiful, so romantic, so classic. The stone walls and cast iron chandeliers set the perfect scene for our 100 guest wedding. Eileen, our coordinator, and Trish, from InnCredible Caters (from the on-site restaurant, 1839) were absolutely amazing. They made my wedding PERFECT. They made sure every detail was taken care of. They ushered us around on the day of. They made sure my husband and I got to eat the amazing food from the cocktail hour. Trish even helped me bustle my dress. And Eileen made sure we always had drinks in our hands! The night was perfect thanks to their help. Everyone raved about how beautiful a setting it was. And the list of their preferred vendors was equally amazing. We booked most of our other vendors from their list which just made coordinating everything so effortless. They gave my husband and I special access to the wine cellar so we could take photos. Absolutely stunning! And I highly recommend using InnCredible Caterers! It was just perfect.

Absolutely amazing!

Absolutely beautiful venue, exactly what we were looking for. We had 165 people at our wedding and the room felt full, without being overcrowded. The venue was beautiful and my guests were so amazed by the stone and wood. They also could not say enough good things about the food, the bartenders and wait staff who worked so quickly. Even with last minute thunderstorms rolling in at the time of our ceremony, the team did an amazing job of making sure our day was still special. Throughout the entire process Donny and Eileen were always available to answer any questions and were extremely helpful. Brotherhood Winery was the best!!
