Incredible Leal Experience

Leal Vineyards was the perfect choice for our big day. From the moment we walked onto the venue, we were blown away by the scenery, but the staff is what made our experience amazing and why I continue to recommend this location to all my newly-engaged friends!

We were welcomed by Niamh who gave us a grand tour of the property. It was hard to pick which location we liked best, we loved them all. We decided on the barrel room, we loved the ambiance of the lights and the fact that we would be indoors for the reception. Fast forward to our wedding day in March, it decided to rain all morning and the team was so incredibly accommodating. We ended up moving our ceremony site from one location that was completely outdoors to one that was under a large tent. It was even better than the original! I was so happy they offered us the option to re-locate the morning of with no additional cost or hassle for us. The fact that they had alternative options was a huge blessing and saved our big day from the unpredictable weather.

The planning process for our wedding was extremely smooth thanks to the wonderfully organized and friendly staff. Melissa was our wedding coordinator and we couldn't be more thankful to have her guide us through the process. She was our go-to for everything and was an essential component to making sure everything went as planned on the day of. Savannah was our design team leader, and she made the process so fun from choosing florals to picking out table center pieces. I loved that planning my wedding didn't consume all of my free time because this venue allows you to be as hands-on or hands-off as you'd like. I knew I couldn't take on much due to my work schedule but they helped with literally everything. They gave me options and all I had to do was pick my favorite, it was that easy. I had full confidence that they would make anything look good and the end result was 100 times better than my expectations.

Overall, we loved having our wedding at Leal Vineyards and we wouldn't have changed a thing. The team was spectacular to work with and they made the entire process fun and exciting. We officially became wine club members so we can celebrate at our wedding venue several times a year or cheers with a bottle of Leal wine at home. This place will always hold a special place in our hearts!

Incredibly professional and so easy to work with

I got married at Leal Vineyards this past summer at their Olea venue. We had elements of an Indian wedding, like a sangeet and Indian catering, but kept the ceremony as a non-denomination Western ceremony. We worked primarily with Melissa at Leal, who was an incredible coordinator (and felt like a friend by the end of the process!). She was able to work with us to tailor the wedding experience to exactly what we wanted - from catering, to cake, to DJ, and especially in setting up a part of the venue up for performances.

We changed our minds about a lot of things pretty late in the game (~1 month before the wedding) but Leal was accommodating about everything from the shape of the arbor to the positioning of the tables.

A huge plus is staying in their estate homes on-site, so that the family and bridal party are just a quick golf cart ride from the venue. The venue itself is stunning, especially at golden hour and we got so many compliments from our guests on this unique and beautiful venue.

Wedding exceeded expectations

The teams at Leal were amazing to work with. They were flexible, responsive, and answered all my questions. I was a very anxious bride and they made sure that all my needs/requests were met. Thank you again for everything!
