I truly believe that my husband and I had the perfect wedding reception at Paradise Ridge Winery. We looked at so many venues and Paradise Ridge was literally the LAST one, as it is somewhat of a hidden gem. But you know what they say—save the best for last. Once we saw the upstairs/downstairs layout, new amenities, and GORGEOUS views, we were hooked.

Paradise Ridge was worth every penny. Paradise Ridge’s staff (shoutout to Jasmine and Colleen!) were wonderfully communicative and easy to work with. One of my favorite parts of our wedding preparations was getting to go there with my then fiancé and family to do a wine tasting to decide which wines we wanted to serve at the wedding.

For the actual wedding, all the space at the venue may be organized. First, we had a photoshoot at some of the beautiful sculptures on the property. Then, we set up our “hor d’oeuvres” hour on the balcony so guests could enjoy the wonderful view of the vineyards. We moved inside to the upstairs floor for dinner and then downstairs for dancing. There are comfy chairs seated outside the downstairs area where many of our guests enjoyed taking a break to sip wine and eat cake.

Our pictures from our reception are something I will treasure forever. The “golden hour” photographs at Paradise Ridge are unparalleled and many of our guests said they too loved taking pictures because how often do you get to look this good?!

In sum, I unequivocally recommend Paradise Ridge Winery for your venue.

Everything about Paradise Ridge was perfect! The view overlooking the vineyard and the city was absolutely breathtaking. Our guests cannot stop talking about how beautiful it was. We also had the most gorgeous sunset during our cocktail hour that everyone really enjoyed! This was a destination wedding, and Martha helped tremendously with her list of recommended vendors and other advice throughout our planning process. Also, the bartenders and staff were super friendly and accommodating. We highly recommend Paradise Ridge as a wedding venue--it'll be the best decision you make!

The team at Paradise Ridge was excellent to work with. Very time efficient and helpful, they always responded to any questions quickly and helpfully. They made the whole venue process wonderful.

This winery was an excellent venue for our elopement. Beautiful scenery and very accompanying people. I would highly recommend.

Paradise Ridge Winery was beyond perfect for our wedding ceremony and reception!
It is so beautiful and offers tons of amazing photo opportunities.

We had our wedding at Paradise Ridge Winery in October 2014, and it was AMAZING!! Seriously the best place I could have imagined for a wedding. Paradise Ridge has it all: a gorgeous venue that is perfectly setup for weddings, beautiful views of wine country, great wine, friendly staff, and flexible hours.

Although it's off a busy area in Santa Rosa, it feels very secluded and intimate, at the top of a long winding driveway, with sweeping views of the vineyards below. There are several distinct areas to hold various parts of the event: a front patio with a gorgeous large tree, where we had welcome drinks; a patio in the back for the ceremony, overlooking the vineyards below; a long wooden veranda running along the side of the winery that's great for cocktail hour (especially during sunset!); and a beautiful pavillion that's perfect for dinner & dancing.

Unlike many spots in wine country that have a 10pm curfew for weddings, PRW lets you go as late as you want, so we went until 11pm and had a full two hours of dancing after dinner. Martha, the events manager at PRW, was great to work with and provided a lot of good suggestions for vendors, but was also flexible when we wanted to go "off list".

The only tradeoff is that PRW, like most winery venues, only allows wine and beer - no hard alcohol. But it ended up not being a big deal, because we had some fun cocktails at our rehearsal dinner the night before, and picked a lot of great wines to serve throughout the evening of our wedding. PRW lets you pick as many as you want, and you only pay for what you drink, which is awesome and makes it totally stress-free.

I can go on and on about PRW, but I'll end by saying that we were extremely happy we chose PRW for our wedding venue, and if I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing!

Paradise Ridge was the perfect place for our wedding. I wanted a venue that not only reflected the beautiful wineries that California offers but also had that woodsy feel to it. Paradise Ridge truly was my Fall Fantasy. We held our wedding the first weekend of November because of it being out of wedding season pricing but mostly because the colors of the leaves and the vineyard are a beautiful golds, yellows, reds and oranges. The venue sits on top of a hill and overlooks not only the vineyard but also the entire Santa Rosa City. We had perfect warm weather that weekend and our sunset wedding made the day feel like it was out of a storybook.

The venue was accommodating to most of our wants (minus the sparklers, we opted for a candlelight exit). Martha was wonderful to work with from advising us on vendors to great local places to hold our engagement dinner. There isn't anything more I would have changed about my wedding looking back. Everyone kept saying how beautiful the place was and everyone said it was unique and could see why we choose such an incredible location.

In fact we got some Christmas cards from friends who had the background from our wedding! This place is special and it's not just the large LOVE sign that makes this place beautiful but the whole venue is stunning from every area. Also, the wine was a huge hit! Their reds are a perfect blend!

My partner and I just had our wedding at Paradise Ridge two weeks ago and it was so amazing, we wish we could do it again. Martha and her team were wonderful to work with prior to the wedding – they were so patient and accommodating of all of my (millions of) questions and requests over email. They always responded promptly and on the day of they provided everything they had promised, from the specific types of beer we requested to every little decorative detail. Getting married at Paradise Ridge was like a dream. It is such a beautiful venue – and then to have everything happen without a hitch was pretty remarkable. (We also used Ali DiLuvio as our day-of coordinator and we highly recommend her!) We were disappointed initially because the winery can’t serve hard alcohol (per their license), but we found that our guests were happy nonetheless and everyone still got reasonably intoxicated ☺ The price is very reasonable, the staff are wonderful, and the view is unbelievable.

Love, love, love!!! My wedding here was amazing and would highly recommend any bride to consider getting married here.
Between Paradise Ridge, the view and my wedding flowers everything was a dream!
Thank you!!!

Paradise Ridge was a beautiful venue for our elopement! The weather was perfect, and they allowed us all over the property to select the perfect spot for the ceremony and pictures. The PR staff was super friendly - even for our small elopement ceremony, everyone from the bartenders to the owners offered their congratulations. PR is an amazing place, looking forward to visiting again from Ohio.
