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.

Monserate wedding venue

Monserate Winery was an absolute delight to work with for our engagement shoot. From the moment we first reached out, Meilee McConnaughey was incredibly empathetic, compassionate, and responsive to all of our questions and needs. 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

Stunning Venue!

Our wedding at Monserate Winery was absolutely stunning and a dream come true. The Tuscan Estate architecture, stonework, vineyards, landscaping, courtyard with lights, olive trees, ceremony spot with a lake and waterfall, and indoor barrel room, created a classic and elegant Italian-inspired venue for our wedding. It was perfect! They have thought of every detail down to the dreamy bridal suites. We received numerous compliments from our guests about how gorgeous the venue looked and that the food, drinks and service were exceptional. Our on-site coordinator Samantha, was patient, professional, responsive, and answered all of our questions. Samantha ensured our wedding day ran smoothly and exactly how we had planned. Thank you to the entire Monserate team for making our wedding day perfect, and an unforgettable experience for us and our guests. I highly recommend Monserate Winery for your dream wedding!

Jennifer was professional, responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely cared about making our event perfect. She guided us through every detail with ease and confidence, which made the planning process feel seamless and stress-free. Her warmth, expertise, and attention to detail went above and beyond our expectations. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue coordinator, and Monserate Winery is so lucky to have her. Highly, highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for an exceptional experience.

The Best Day Ever!

We had our wedding at Monserate Winery at their Villa De Fiore site in May, and it was simply the Italian Wedding of our dreams. We looked at so many wedding venues, and there were many prospects, but we knew instantly when we walked the grounds at Monserate that this place was on another level. Walking around the venue, we were instantly transported back to Tuscany and the Italian countryside. This place exuded classic Italian charm with luxury and elegance. From the beautifully curated landscaping to the gorgeous bridal and groomsman suites and the magnificent ballrooms, Monserate Winery was breathtaking. Then there was Carissa. I can’t state our appreciation enough, but our team was so wonderful, and we were so blessed to have Carissa as our venue coordinator. Her energy and her love for making wedding couples’ dreams come true were evident the moment we met. She was so accommodating with the many, MANY changes we requested and did everything she could to give us what we asked for. She was very responsive and kept us on track every step of the way. On the day of, she met us at the venue, told us to relax as best we could, and took charge with our own wedding coordinator and orchestrated the best day of our lives. She even drove my bride in the golf cart to the far end of the lake for her dramatic walk around the lake. If you get the opportunity to choose, ask for Carissa; she’s the best!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
