We want to thank the entire Valley Road Vineyards (VRV) team for all of their help throughout our wedding planning process! Valley Road has become such a special place to us and always will be. From the moment we first visited the vineyard, the VRV team made us feel like part of the family! They were absolutely amazing to work with and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful wedding venue. We had a small legal ceremony as well as our full wedding at VRV and they were the best vendor that we worked with. As someone who worries and stresses easily, I can honestly say that Sarah, Barbara & Stan always made me feel calm and worry free whenever I met with them. Their amazing wine also helps! :)
They truly have it all: 1) An insanely gorgeous venue with indoor and outdoor options 2) the most friendly and loving staff 3) great wine…what else could you need???

The Perfect Venue
Words cannot describe how perfect our wedding was and how grateful we are for Valley Road Vineyards and specifically Sarah, Barbara, and Stan. VRV has everything you are looking for in a venue: perfect location, reasonable prices, amazing wine, good views (sunset, mountains, vineyards), flexibility, and that family feel. They are really invested in making sure everything goes smoothly and treat you as family. We looked at several venues (wineries, breweries, cideries, etc.) in the area and VRV had the best value. They could easily charge double for their venue and their amenities. The bridal loft was the perfect, beautiful, location for getting ready. The groomsmen also enjoyed their suite. We utilized the “library” for our rehearsal dinner which was awesome and made everything so easy! Sarah, the event coordinator, truly goes above and beyond with organizing and looking for those small details no one wants to worry about during the event. She kept everything running smoothly. They do have a preferred vendor list, but were very accommodating to approving other vendors as well. Having our dog present for ring bearer duties was no problem (we did an outdoor ceremony). Basically, everything was easy, stress free, and perfect. Thank you, Valley Road! We truly do think of you as family. 😊
