Dream Wedding for my son and DIL!!!

We can't tell Gideon Owen and the Smith Family, the owners of Gideon Owen, thank you enough!!!! Thank you Quintin and Donna Smith for renovating this beautiful winery so more families could see their son or daughter get married in such a majestical place!! Thank you to Emily and Cierra for your patience and kindness with ALL the planning up to the March 2, 2024 wedding date! We loved every moment of working with you....from the private tastings, to the rehearsal, to the day-of festivities. The food was wonderful and even with the amount of 150 people in attendance, it came out just perfect! The presentation was pretty, the meats were cooked just right, and the staff was very professional! The cabin for the bride and her bridesmaids to get ready was laid out nicely for the makeup artist and hair stylist and the separate room helped with all the girls getting dressed. My son and daughter-in-law's day will be one I will never forget, thanks to Gideon Owen and their awesome staff!!! Thank you!

Great Wedding Day

Overall we had a beautiful wedding that will never be forgotten. A few things did not go well that needed to be addressed, which took time away from being able to enjoy my daughters special day which were disappointing but the event manager made it a point to meet with me and do what she could to make things right.
The wedding ceremony in the cellar was beautiful and wonderfully prepared by our wedding coordinator (not affiliated with the venue).
Definitely a day to remember.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
