Best Wedding Venue Ever!

We had our wedding on July 6, 2026. Monserate was our dream venue and it did not disappoint us. It was everything and more. Meilee was our coodinator and she was so lovely to work with! The most hard working and kindhearted person ever :)

AMAZING! 10/10 would get married here again and again

Getting married at Monserate was the best choice my husband and I have ever made. The venue speaks for itself, it is absolutely stunning and you cant go wrong with any of the venues on property. Not only is it breathtaking by feeling like you are in Italy, the service is incredible. Everyone who works there was so nice to us the 5 times we have gone throughout the year of planning. I am so sad its over because I don’t get to see them again! NOW LETS TALK BUSINESS! THE FOOOOOOOD!! Our guests cant stop talking about how good the food was. We had the short braised rib, rigatoni and lasagne. So many of our guests went for seconds and even THIRDS! 10/10 recommend this venue! We got married at Tuscan Estate because I loved the balcony and how each area has its own moment. The only negative thing I will say about the venue is the 10pm end time. We stayed seabird and were able to shuttle there and back easily. The weather was perfect in July!

NOW LET ME GET STARTED ON OUR VENUE COORDINATOR!
If I could give Jennifer more than 5 stars, I absolutely would.
From the moment we started planning our wedding at Monserate Winery, Jennifer made us feel so taken care of. We worked with her for almost a year, and she was truly one of the best parts of the entire planning process. She is the kindest soul, incredibly organized, and somehow always made every meeting feel like catching up with a friend. We genuinely had so much fun with her every step of the way.
Planning a wedding can feel overwhelming, but Jennifer made everything so easy, seamless, and stress-free. She was always quick to answer questions, had every detail under control, and made us feel completely confident that everything was going to come together perfectly. On our wedding day, everything flowed so smoothly, and we were able to be fully present because we knew we were in the best hands.
What makes Jennifer so special isn't just how amazing she is at her job—it's how much she genuinely cares about her couples. You can tell she pours her heart into every wedding, and it makes all the difference. She celebrated right alongside us and made us feel so supported throughout the entire journey.
I'm honestly so sad it's over because I'm going to miss seeing and talking to her. That's how wonderful she is. Jennifer became such a special part of this season of our lives, and we'll always be grateful for everything she did for us.
If you're considering Monserate Winery for your wedding, I can't recommend it enough—and Jennifer is a huge reason why. She is truly one of a kind, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to have her by their side. Thank you, Jennifer, for making our wedding experience everything we dreamed it would be and more. We love you!

Monserate review

I got married at Monserate this past May, and I truly couldn’t recommend this venue enough! From the very beginning, the entire planning process was seamless. Their team has everything so well organized, which made wedding planning feel so much less overwhelming.

Jennifer was our main point of contact, and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was incredibly kind, responsive, and thorough, always taking the time to answer every question I had and making sure every detail was covered. On our wedding day, everything flowed so smoothly, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy every moment.

And the venue itself… absolutely stunning. Every corner photographs beautifully. If I could do it all over again, I would choose Monserate 100 times over.

Thank you to Jennifer and the entire Monserate team for making our wedding day PERFECT!!! We are so grateful!

The best day!

Our wedding at Monserate Winery was truly the best day of our lives! From start to finish, the entire process was so seamless that it almost felt too good to be true, especially given how popular the venue is. We booked our wedding two years in advance and were originally planning to get married at Tuscan Estate before eventually moving to Monte Bella. Both venues are absolutely gorgeous, but switching to Monte Bella was the best decision for our 200+ guests. I cannot thank Meilee enough for everything she did throughout the process—from our engagement photos and wedding tasting to making sure our wedding day was perfect. She was always available to answer our questions and made us feel supported every step of the way. We received so many compliments from our guests about the venue, the food, and the incredible staff. A huge thank you to Molly and Carissa for helping us book the venue, Stephanie for answering countless questions and assisting with our venue change, Meilee for coordinating all the amazing details, Tristan and Miguel for taking such great care of us during our rehearsal lunch and wine tasting, and Ansley for helping with all of our day-of needs. Every single staff member we interacted with was thoughtful, professional, and genuinely cared about making our experience special. They made us feel at ease throughout the entire planning process and on our wedding day. Monserate Winery will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we can't wait to return and relive the memories for years to come. Thank you for helping create the most perfect day we could have imagined! - Gabriel & Amanda

Beautiful Venue

Monserate Winery completely exceeded our expectations as a wedding venue. While it’s already stunning on its own, actually seeing our wedding come to life there made it feel a hundred times more beautiful and special. The entire experience felt seamless thanks to the amazing team—every representative we worked with was professional, welcoming, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect.

A special thank you to our coordinator, Meilee, who was incredibly helpful, honest, and responsive throughout the process. She made everything feel manageable and stress-free, which is priceless when planning a wedding. We truly feel so lucky to have found Monserate Winery and even luckier that we were able to secure our date. We couldn’t recommend this venue more highly.

Wedding Venue Tour

Monserate Winery is beautiful and the location is perfect for a peaceful and intimate wedding. My fiancé and I were really excited to see the venue, and the tour was made even better by Jennifer Navarro who was the best tour guide that we've encountered. She was very open-minded and answered all of the questions that we had. We want to personally thank her for her flexibility and helpfulness during our visit. We would recommend Jennifer to anyone who is looking to potentially view Monserate.

Thank you Jennifer for the wonderful experience, we really appreciate your kindness regarding our special day.

Venue of Our Dreams

Our experience at Monserate Winery was absolutely unforgettable! We truly loved everything about it. From the moment we toured the venue with Jennifer, we knew it was special. She was able to bring our entire vision of our wedding to life so vividly, that we knew we couldn’t pass it up.

The staff went above and beyond every step of the way especially Jennifer. They were genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Jennifer was the best coordinator we could have asked for. She exceeded every expectation. No detail was overlooked, and she made the entire planning process feel seamless and stress free. Everything came together so beautifully and that’s all thanks to her. Our guests are still talking about how gorgeous the venue was and how smoothly everything ran.

We truly don’t have a single regret. Choosing this venue was one of the best decisions we made. If we could do it all over again, we would still pick Monserate Winery without hesitation.

She took the time to make us feel welcomed, accommodated and understood. She made our vision and worked closely with us to bring engagement shoot to life in the most beautiful way. The venue itself was breathtaking, with its stunning views of the surrounding vineyards. We could not have asked for a more perfect setting. We are so grateful to the Monserate Winery team for making our wedding dreams a reality
