About

On WeddingWire since 2008

Scribner Bend Vineyards is located along the beautiful Sacramento River, in an area known as Scribner's Bend, just 12 miles south of the Capitol and Downtown Sacramento. The Scribner family finds the warm summer days and cool evening breezes to be a special microclimate for growing grapes, and the ideal location for intimate weddings and receptions.

Our vineyard creates a romantic, picturesque setting, combining simple elegance and a touch of history. The rustic, elegant charm of the grounds is perfect for outdoor weddings and receptions.

Begin your day in our beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom Bungalow; it’s the perfect space for you and your attendants to spend a relaxing, stress-free day. Invite your makeup artist and hairstylist, they’re welcome onsite to coddle and pamper you on your special day. Include your photographer for those wonderful behind the scenes photos of you and your attendants that you’ll cherish forever.

You're all ready and it's time for those dreams to come true!! Make your way down the bridal aisle through mature grapevines and into our Chardonnay Garden to exchange vows. This beautiful, peaceful space was carved right out of our chardonnay vineyard and is the perfect spot to declare your devotion to each other.

Your guests will head from the Chardonnay Garden site to our Sunroom & Courtyard where they’ll mingle while enjoying Scribner Bend Vineyards estate grown wines and domestic beers paired with appetizers passed by our exclusive, in-house catering team.

Through cheers and applause, the new Mr. and Mrs. are introduced to guests as they enter the reception area through our iconic barn doors and onto the circular stone dance floor. Our adjacent 50’ by 60’ reception tent is anchored at one end by a beautiful fountain and at the other end by a gorgeous outdoor fireplace with seating wall. As the sun sets, the tent transforms into a romantic glow of lighting with the roaring fireplace adding to the ambience. Our in-house caterer works with you to create your perfect dinner menu and our award-winning winemaker weighs in as to which wines would best accompany your menu choices.

Phenomenal Experience

We got married at Scribner Bend on 6/10/2023, and wow, where do I start?

The planning process was remarkable easy. Jessica got back to us as soon as we first reached out, and within a few days we toured the grounds with Laura, who was sweet and professional and made us feel welcome and comfortable. The pricing and payment timeline were totally transparent, and the rest of the planning process was laid out in an organized manner for us.

Jessica, Laura, and Sarah gave us outstanding service in the months leading up to our big day. Jessica guided us through the whole process, from picking vendors to creating ceremony diagrams, and answered all of the questions that we had. We had a few last-minute changes (swapping chairs for high chairs, rearranging chairs at tables, adding handicapped parking spots, etc) and every change got implemented perfectly.

Jessica also coordinated with all of the vendors on the day of the wedding, so my husband and I were entirely free to spend time with our friends and family. Our wedding day was super relaxed and smooth, since Jessica and the SBV staff had taken care of so much beforehand, and took care of everything else on the day of (to include setting up and breaking down the tables with decorations/table numbers, arranging the right number of handicapped parking spots, accepting flower and cake deliveries, coordinating with out DJ/MC for the sound setup, prepping the bridal bungalow and groomsmen airstream trailer, being welcoming to and readily available for our guests, moving florals from the arch to the reception after the ceremony, etc etc). My bridesmaids and our hair and makeup artists all said that it was the most chill wedding they had ever been a part of, and that's because the staff at SBV did so much behind the scenes for us.

The venue itself is jaw-dropping gorgeous. I'm from the east coast, so I love the "lush greens" look, and SBV accomplished that so well, with the rose-covered arches, tall walnut tree, and rows and rows of vines. The whole venue is covered in greenery and smells so lovely because of all of the roses and honeysuckle and jasmine. I love that the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception are all in different areas, so the guests get to see different scenery as the night goes on. My husband and I really wanted an outdoor wedding, and while the reception is within a tent (for protection from the elements), you are surrounded by greenery the entire night. While the weather on our day was unseasonably beautiful, there's also tons of shade for sunny/hot days. We got away with minimal florals and uplighting, since the venue is already so well lit and beautiful. Finally, because of the location, SBV felt incredibly peaceful and private. There was no chance of disruptions from the outside world. We felt like we were in a little pocket of heaven all night, and in the following few days I lost count of how many people said that it was "the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to".

We purchased the package for unlimited wine and beer for our celebration. The wine was delicious and well received. We weren't thrilled about one of the beer options (we were provided with Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Coors Light, and Rolling Rock), but we were able to bring a beer of our choice to swap out for one of them. The venue cannot serve hard liquor, but all other beverages are fair game, and our beverages were served exactly as expected. There was never a line at the bar, and our guests drank as much as they wanted. We also opted for the sparkling almond wine toast, which was delicious and well loved.

I posted a separate review for Paesanos. Briefly, we received exceptional service and phenomenal food from Rain and the rest of the Paesanos staff. We were blown away by how delicious the food was, and how professional the service was. Check out my other review for more details.

Everything considered, we are so, so thankful that Jessica and the other staff at SBV took such great care of us in the months leading up to our wedding day, and our family and friends on the day itself. Our day was absolutely perfect. I cannot recommend this venue highly enough.

Absolutely amazing!

My husband and I got married at Scribner Bend in June 2023, and it was absolutely amazing! We had searched through a ton of venues, and when we found Scribner Bend, everything just fell into place.

Jessica was incredibly helpful and made the entire planning process so easy. She always helped us answer any questions we had and communicated very well. We felt so supported by her throughout the entire planning process and on our wedding day! She was such a joy to work with, and we are so thankful for her! We couldn't have planned our wedding without her. The staff were phenomenal, and we can't thank them enough for helping us make our wedding day so special!

The catering provided by Paesano's was exceptional. The menu options were diverse, and the food was not only delicious but beautifully presented. Our guests raved about the quality of the meal, and some even mentioned it was the best they've had at a wedding.

This venue is stunning, and I highly recommend this to couples who are searching for a wedding venue. All of our guests were obsessed with how enchanting and beautiful the venue was.

In conclusion, choosing Scribner Bend for our wedding was the best decision we made. Our day was nothing short of perfect, and we are grateful to the entire team for making our dream wedding a reality. If you're looking for a venue that combines elegance, exceptional service, and a touch of magic, we highly recommend Scribner Bend!

Thank you, Scribner Bend, for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!
