    LOVE this venue!

    We absolutely loved our wedding venue, Alcantara Vineyards! The space is gorgeous, the wine was a huge hit and the venue coordinator, Annie, was fantastic to work with! She was quick to reply to every email filled with questions during the planning process and did everything she could the day of the wedding to make sure it was everything we wanted! She really stepped up and helped fix things throughout the night. Thank you Annie!

    Fantastic Venue!

    We absolutely adored having Alcantara as our wedding venue. We knew we wanted to get married there before we even got engaged, and the first time we actually “toured” it we knew there were no other options. Annie was truly fantastic to work with - she responded to every question, every email in such a timely manner no matter how big or small the question. The day of she truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly - we were even surprised with a touching note inside our guest book. Cannot recommend booking with Annie and Alcantara enough!

    Perfect Wedding Day

    I’m writing this super late but Annie was so helpful by answering questions leading up to the wedding and was a rockstar on my wedding day! She makes sure to put the couples’ needs first and always ran everything by us. The venue was stunning we hardly had any decor and we used the preferred vendors list and they did not disappoint! Out guests raved about how good the wine was and how stunning our venue was! Our wedding day was perfect thanks to Annie and Alcantera Vineyards and Winery!

    Dream Wedding Came True

    I must say this was the best wedding ever. Annie was the best venue coordinator anybody could have asked for. We came across Alcantara on  happenstance. It was our one year anniversary and stumbled into our new heaven. This is one of our favorite places to come to get away and they have some of the most amazing wine selections. This venue is gorgeous and offers everything that we ever dreamed of  for our big day. But Annie, we could not have done it without her. We came to the site multiple times sometimes just to relax and plan everything while sipping on amazing wine and great company. Other times she was there as a helping visionary letting us know different options and ideas that multiple people have done in the past.
    We also love Alcantara's staff to the moon and back everybody there I feel knows who we are after everything we went through lol Cheyenne was a great bartender and handled everything and all of my guests spectacularly. Carrie the  manager of the tasting room came to the rescue 15 minutes before the ceremony to hem up a few last minute details. We love everybody there so much and we will go back as often as possible

    Thank you Annie!

    Planning a wedding is a tremendous hassle between finding a DJ, photographers, a venue, planner, florist, catering, finalizing guest lists, and much, much more. My partner and I felt a bit lost after touring countless venues and wedding conventions to find the right fit for what we wanted. When we met with Annie for our first tour at Alcantara Vineyard and Winery it was a huge relief. The grounds were extraordinarily stunning, the wine was FANTASTIC, and Annie was extremely helpful and transparent in answering all our questions. Annie was able to accommodate for any situation, rain or shine (literally). Our wedding day had off and on showers and Annie went above and beyond to make sure the rain wasn’t an issue, but rather made the day even more magical. The day of was remarkable. The open-air chapel provided coverage while also allowing for a natural setting in the middle of a beautiful vineyard. The sheer beauty of the chapel and setting were decoration enough. We anticipated a handful of guests to drink wine as most stick to beer, but it is 100% true that even if you don’t like wine, you will like Alcantara’s wine. We went through all of it before the rehearsal started and easily ordered more. Everyone loved it! I can’t recommend this venue enough for anyone planning their special day.

    Magical venue

    I cannot say enough great things about Alcantara Vineyards! We had our wedding 10/8/22 and it was absolutely magical. The venue is so beautiful on its own that you barely need to decorate. The wine is fabulous! Annie the venue coordinator is kind, organized, helpful and so wonderful to work with. She answered all my questions and helped the entire day run smoothly. If you want a beautiful destination wedding that’s laid back and perfect I highly recommend you check out Alcantara!

    Beautiful Venue

    First I want to say this venue is absolutely gorgeous and I am so happy my husband and I booked with them. Annie and her team are absolutely amazing. From constant communication, answering every question we had through out the process, providing suggestions to helping taking care of small details. Annie went above and beyond. Our DJ didn’t show up when they were supposed to and finding out they were canceling an hour and a half before the ceremony, Annie was on top of it from downloading music to helping us find amazing live music. She made sure everything would go smoothly. Thank you Annie you truly helped make this day super special to us.

    Such an amazing place for a wedding!

    This venue was absolutely perfect for our big day! This place is beautiful and Annie (our venue coordinator) did such a great job helping to make our day so perfect! She went above and beyond for us. I couldn’t have imagined having our wedding anywhere else.

    Simply Amazing

    We cannot express how wonderful Annie and the Alcantara team was in making our wedding day amazing. Our wedding had a lot of unexpected events due to weather that was handled beautifly by everyone. Annie was extraordinary all day and worked incredibly hard to make she we had an amazing day. As a bride she made sure that I had a great experience all day. This venue is beautiful and our pictures came out perfect. We had such an amazing experience not only during our wedding, but we visited prior to our wedding and it is a beautiful location. Annie had a list a vendors that she had worked with previously and they were also amazing. All of the last minute changes and adjustments could have been chaotic but with the Alcantara team and Annie it was our perfect day and my new husband and I could not be any more grateful. We look forward to visiting Alcantara Vineyards in the future to be able to remember our wedding and how wonderful it was.

    Alcantara Venue and Annie LeBoef-Beautifully Splendid

    Alcantara is a lovely place to celebrate in a relaxed atmosphere and beautiful landscape. Annie was always a step ahead for every need or concern. She was kind, supportive, and a calming voice on what could be a nerve wrecking day.

    Breath taking venue

    For many years I had a vision of exactly how I wanted my special day to look. Because of Annie and her staff, the vendors she recommended and the gorgeous venue, our day was even more perfect than either of us ever imagined.

    Wedding Perfectioon

    My now husband and I got engaged march 11th, 2020. So we were sadly wedding planning through the thick of Covid amid endless amounts uncertainty. Several other venues were actually quite rude about us even calling and inquiring about their venue amid the pandemic. It was bizarre. We called Alcantara and it was a breath of fresh air from the start.

    Not only is the venue stunning!! I had a slightly different hopes and dreams list for the wedding that varied from most. Alcantara worked with me to accommodate nearly everything on my list. It was incredible! The chapel is breathtaking and almost decorates itself. It allows for so many different opportunities to customize it to your wedding. The reception lawn has incredible views, gorgeous lighting, and soon to be bathrooms.

    The true cherry on top for me was their event coordinator, Annie. She was INCREDIBLE!!!! She took the time to get to know myself and my family, and learn exactly what my vision was for the wedding. Even down to knowing what wine I enjoyed most and realizing when I needed a glass of that wine! Annie is a true gem and makes things go so smoothly. She stepped in when unexpected things happened and always had a smile on her face.

    I would recommend Alcantara to anyone looking for venues. It is sure to provide the perfect wedding experience.

    One of the most beautiful spots in the Verde Valley. Gorgeous chapel located at the confluence of the Verde River and Oak creek, overlooking the vineyard and canyon. The reception area is inspiring and magical. We highly recommend this venue

    Alcantara is an absolutely special place. Beauty everywhere you look. Anne is incredible, and will always be a big part of our wedding story!

    Wedding coordinator, Anne is wonderful! The wedding space "the Chapel" was just gorgeous, we didn't need much in added decorations. Reception area is a beautiful, grassy area surrounded by grapevines. Our day was fabulous!

    Nightmare to work with!!

    We are really disappointed to be writing this review, because this is a gorgeous venue.
    If you haven’t seen an event review for Alcantara in 3 years, there is a good reason why. The Predmores, our grandparents, built this winery over 20 years ago and recently sold it to retire. For sentimental reasons, we obviously chose Alcantara to be our wedding venue. Let this be the new management’s first review.
    As Predmores, we never expected any special treatment or privileges and were completely happy being a standard client except for the immense stress we experienced.
    We will sum it up in a few key points for those of you who do not wish to read any further:
    •Alcantara refused to follow their written and signed contract, even when confronted
    •They constantly complained about their job to the bride in the months leading up to the wedding, manipulating to get what they wanted
    •They would demand information from us with no intention of keeping track of our details, even as the bride was walking down the aisle
    •They had a superiority complex towards our other vendors, making them jump through hoops to be able to work with them (my other vendors were wonderful enough to comply)
    •They were never consistent with their requirements and made planning impossible. We would take days off to plan and would constantly have to redo everything because they would switch up the rules after multiple confirmations.
    When questioned, they would make it clear they were “giving us whatever we wanted” because we were good business being the Predmores.

    Refusing to follow the contract
    We allowed them to switch up their rules and gaslight us on most details, because ultimately we wanted this to be smooth sailing. We did put our foot down regarding our contracted end time.
    At first, they told us 10:30pm was when our event could end. We had our schedule run until 10:10 because our contract indicated 10pm and we didn’t want it too far over. We called to double check about a year and a half in, and they then let us know it had to end at 10pm SHARP. This was fine with us as that was the contracted end time, and they hounded us about sending over a timeline. We did, they acknowledged it, and we moved on.
    We then find out from our planner that they were not letting our event go past 9:30pm, which was not our contracted end time, nor did they make any requests towards our timeline that they had acknowledged weeks before. We let them know as such, and they refused to budge until suddenly, they “moved mountains” for us to end the time at 9:45pm. We’ve waited 2 years for this, signed our contract, and they moved mountains to give us 15 freaking minutes just to be petty.

    Complaining
    Any chance they got, Alcantara would call the bride, asking to end our event early or suggest ways to get our guests out faster because quote “it’s a long day for us”. They would complain about cleaning up, cleaning the junk out of the bridal suite, having “too many emails for this wedding”, having to provide water, and justifying it by saying “we are only a farm!” We disagree. You want to profit off being a wedding venue? Act like one and take the responsibility, and stop guilt tripping the brides who have enough to worry about. This is your job, and we are paying you, and we aren’t asking for much.
    They also complained about us to our own vendors, thinking they wouldn’t tell us, but they did. We saw that email.

    Demanding Information
    The Alcantara staff acted like we completely shut them out, when in reality we had to constantly and repetitively retell them details until they couldn’t keep it straight - and had to solely speak to my planner to keep things together. They complained about this too, not being able to speak to us.
    They blamed this on the volume of emails, except ALL of the new threads were started by them with the same exact subject line. Talk about hard to keep track of.
    We thought this would be the end of the miscommunication, until they approached the bride right before she walked down the aisle, demanding info about the reception. Our planner had to tell them to go away.

    Superiority Complex
    Everyone involved in our wedding encountered so many roadblocks due to Alcantara. They had so many limitations for my vendors that needed work-arounds, but were disorganized and stingy about providing help or even information for us to plan. They would freak us out with doomsday-esque speeches and had waivers for each of our vendors to sign, trying to indicate they were exclusive. My vendors, who have been in the industry for decades, have spoken to us about how they have never experienced anything like this.
    A month before our wedding, Alcantara decided it was “required” for every single one of my vendors to do a site tour on a random Thursday at noon - letting us know 5 days before that this was our last opportunity to do so because they were “so busy with wedding season”. Most of my vendors could obviously not make it, and there was no information that was dire enough for them on that tour.

    Disorganization
    Planning a wedding and keeping track of details is very stressful. We took days off of work to get things to our vendors for them to move forward. Most of these days were wasted as we kept having to redo things because Alcantara would not give us accurate information or would not communicate with us about our details. We would find out that weeks after we sent something over, they’d call our planner to complain that it was either wrong or they never received it. We’d confirm the details that needed to be changed only for them to change their mind yet again. Alcantara staff would tell us one thing, and then would pretend like they never said it weeks later, until we provided notes that proved them otherwise. And these details were all coming from one person, so we were being gaslit to cover up their false promises and mistakes.
    And since we were the guinea pigs for your new bar package, you might want to rethink it. The bride’s mother should never be harassed during the wedding about a drink system that is completely disorganized and dishonest on your part.

    If anyone is considering having an event here, please be wary of this information. We have already had others completely reconsider because of what we went through. We hope Alcantara understands what needs to change moving forward, or maybe they need to vet the characters they have entrusted to represent them. We adored all of our other vendors, and this was our only unfortunately negative experience!

    And no, we did not use AI to write this in any way. We wrote this on the plane ride back from our honeymoon.
