We just hosted our daughter's wedding reception at Giracci Vineyards this past July and it was absolutely magical! Our guests keep raving about how it was the most beautiful reception that they have ever attended. Most importantly, our daughter and son-in-law stated it was the wedding of their dreams! Giracci is located in Silverado in the beautiful foothills of the mountains. It has huge gorgeous mature oak trees (i think that is what they are) which are wrapped in fairy lights. For the venue fee, we were able to pick 2 of their 4 locations to host our reception. All 4 (3 are outdoor and 1 indoor) are spectacular choices. We went with the fountain area that has a raised stage (perfect for the band) for the cocktail reception/dancing and the grassy area with big oak tree next to it for the dinner. These locations are close to one another and also close to the bathrooms for the guests. Our contact at Giracci was Linda who was so easy to work with from the beginning. The entire process to view and book the venue was easy. We came twice to view the venue before finalizing our decision. We never felt pressured. They provided suggested vendors as well but worked with us in certain areas where we had some preferences. At the final meeting on premises with the various vendors, it was evident that Linda was very knowledgable on all aspects and worked well with our vendors. She had great suggestions and ideas for how to keep the budget in line. If you plan on serving wine at your event, all wine must be purchased from Giracci. Our family are big wine drinkers and have our preferences. While at first we were a little skeptical, let me assure you their wines are WONDERFUL! Seriously, there wasn't a dud in their offerings. In fact, we are now Giracci wine club members which I highly recommend. The time of year we chose for the reception was perfect. The flowers at Giracci were in full bloom and just stunning. The venue is so beautiful that we really didn't have to kill the budget with additional decor other than flowers/votives for all the tables and 3 crystal chandeliers with some white draping in the big oak tree where dinner was served. At the time of this review, we don't have the pictures back from the photographer or I would attach them. Everything ran smoothly throughout the evening. I can't stress enough how thrilled we are that we chose Giracci Vineyards for our daughter's wedding reception. Weddings are a very expensive investment here in Orange County and we felt that choosing Giracci Vineyards was perfect choice. My only regret is that it all went by too fast!
