Our dream wedding
We did a destination wedding and Ponte made the process so easy. The venue is beautiful and they have preferred vendors. Our coordinator, Carly, was amazing. I’m so pleased with her attitude, responsiveness, vision, advice, and willingness to help. There are two ceremony and reception sites that are determined by guest count limitations. We got married by the pond at the Inn and our reception was in the barrel room. Everything was beautiful and perfect. The food-delicious, ambiance-incredible. Let’s not forgot how great the wine is too. For the value and quality of service, food, wine and venue appearance I would 1000000 Xs recommend you get married here!-

Wedding Venue of Our Dreams!
Ponte was the setting we had dreamed of for our wedding. We loved that the layout of the Vineyard Garden, Terrace, and Pavilion allowed for a seamless and natural transition from one event to the next. In addition to just the stunning setting, our Ponte coordinator, Samantha, was there for us through every step of the way. She answered every question and concern we had and made the planning process so much less stressful. She listened to all our needs and made the day run beyond smooth — taking away the day of stress that often consumes brides and grooms. At the reception, our banquet captain Adrian ensured that we had our drink of choice and that our glasses were never empty. She helped us actually get to eat our wedding food and give us a few moments of alone time to soak it all in.
If we could do it over again, we’d pick Ponte without a second thought. -

Amazing team
I need a book to tel you what we went through. Our original date was May 24,2020. Samantha Cordero absolutely exceeded our expectations. She went through 3 reschedules, 1 cancellation , and 1 rebook. Every step of the way she kept us updated even when I don’t think she really knew what was going to happen. We decided to get a FULL refund. Only because my mental health could not go through another reschedule. My husband and I talked about looking Into other locations just because we had waited so long to get married and really did not want to wait. As soon as we looked at one other location it was not the same. We have been members at Ponte and we had gone to do a tasting and saw that there was a wedding happening that day. I immediately emailed Samantha and booked a tour to rebook. She absolutely took care of us and made our wait of 4 years become the best day of our life. Everything went perfectly and turned out so amazing! I wouldn’t have changed one thing. If you can get the pleasure of working with Samantha you will not be disappointed. -

It's a wedding dream come true!
This place is a true beauty! We did our wedding ceremony at The Pond garden and headed over to Barrell Room for reception. Oh it was spectacular! We had our wedding within the month of May, so the garden was already filled with flowers and the Vineyard was already blooming. The food was great too! We picked seafood, steak, and pasta as our menu. They were all great! We would defnitily come back here on our anniversary!! I highly recommend!-

Truly amazing!
Ponte Winery is a truly fantastic venue. My husband and I fell in love with it as soon as we saw it in person. It truly feels like a little paradise, like you're on holiday in Europe as soon as you walk through the doors! We both loved how the winery estate isn't 100% dedicated to weddings, and therefore didn't have any kind of cheesy feeling to it. It's also amazing to be able to stay at Ponte Inn on site, spend the entire wedding weekend there at the fire pits, at the restaurants, doing wine tastings. Every one of guests really seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. I also cannot say enough good things about our wedding coordinator, Samantha. She made the whole process so seamless throughout all the planning stages, and on the day-of everything ran literally perfectly. Also, for everything Ponte offers, their pricing is unbeatable and I truly feel that the cost was worth it in every way. Forever love Ponte!-

Most Gorgeous Winery Location for Temecula Wedding
We completely fell in love with Ponte Vineyard and Winery when we first visited Temecula. It could not have been a more perfect place for our destination wedding. Everyone there was incredibly helpful, especially Samantha our Coordinator. All of our Guests simply loved their stay and the winery. We could not recommend Ponte Vineyard Inn and Ponte Winery more! -

Ponte Winery is a dream
We had our wedding at Ponte Winery on 10/1/2021 and it was an absolute dream. Our wedding was "smaller" (89 people) so we had our ceremony at The Pond and our reception at the Barrel Room. The Pond was beautiful and the Spanish architecture of the Ponte Inn hotel truly makes for a special and naturally beautiful atmosphere. The ceremony was gorgeous, and the cocktail hour at the neighboring Ponte Inn hotel area was a guest favorite. The reception was held in the Barrel Room, which is outfitted with actual wine barrels that many of our guests loved and commented on. It was the perfect intimate space and setup for our special day and we could not be happier. In terms of the staff, I can't say enough good things. Jordan Derham is a day-of coordinator at Ponte Winery and was assigned to our big day -- and she KILLED IT. She was attentive and communicative and entertained my many questions along the way. She was so helpful and kind and calm under pressure (which I definitely needed day-of wedding!). Throughout the planning process, there were curve balls presented by COVID, but Jordan and her team were always one step ahead and we always felt in the know and prepared for whatever was coming next. I'll also say that Ponte Winery is a great venue for those looking for an "all inclusive" type experience -- the food (delicious), bar (wonderful beer and wine options), venue, some decor (candles, coordinated market light rentals), chairs, tablecloths, day-of coordinator all come included. It was so helpful for our planning to work with one central point-of-contact for all of these elements. We are over the moon happy and made the best choice ever with Ponte Winery. We are so grateful and would highly recommend! -

Above and Beyond
Jenna Judziewicz was our coordinator through the whole process. She made everything flow seamlessly. We planned our wedding in 5 months (who wants to be engaged for a year when there's marriage to be had?) and Jenna was amazingly helpful and professional. From my first phone call to our first meeting Jenna guided me through the process of planning my wedding myself. She went above and beyond to make things happen, from getting permission for us to have our wedding earlier than their standard time, to being able to use a ceremony and reception site that were usually not bundled together. Inevitably something will end up undone and for me, I just hadn't time to create and print a table seating chart for my guests. Overnight, Jenna looked at our wedding theme and created and had printed a beautiful seating chart that fit perfectly. When she showed it to me the morning of, I cried, it was so beautiful. There were many other little things she did and added to our day that made it perfect! My bridal hostess on the day of was Taylor and she helped me with last minute things I needed. All in all, my husband and I are so glad we went with Ponte, the food was FANTASTIC (my guests are still raving about it) and the atmosphere was perfectly classy. Everything that is included in Ponte's price, from the ceremony site, reception venue, food and table furnishings, day-of coordinator, and hotel stay on the wedding night, meant that I had much less to plan and worry about. My husband and I look forward to going back to Ponte Winery and Inn for many years to come to relive the memory of our perfect wedding day.-

Beautiful venue, Delicious food, You won't be disappointed!
My spouse and I reviewed so many venues before landing on Ponte, but when we found it, we knew it was the one! The site is stunning, the staff is wonderful, the food is SO delicious (I’m still thinking about the Lemon Risotto and Prime Rib) and everything about it was just perfect. We had the MOST AMAZING wedding coordinator Jenna who dealt with all of our crazy e-mails because it was a destination wedding for us, and she worked so hard to make it perfect and keep us stress free (which she absolutely did). Our Disney wedding really came to life with all her hard work and choosing Ponte as our venue was really the best decision we could have ever made. Even though weddings are stressful, we would do it all over again and wouldn’t change a thing!-

February Destination Wedding
Can't say enough good things about Ponte! Having an all-in-one venue (ceremony, reception, hotel) was important to us. Planning a destination wedding could have been really stressful, but the Ponte team made things easy. The food was amazing, the ceremony and reception cites were beautiful, and the hotel was great. Loved this experience and can't wait to go back on anniversary trips! -

I got married to my wife Tiffany here in May 2017 and it was top notch across the board. Our coordinator was Lauren and she could not have been more helpful and professional. She had to take over for our original coordinator during the process and didn't miss a beat. Our ceremony was outdoors at the pond behind the Vineyard Inn (connected to the winery) with reception in the barrel room and both were beautiful and unique. The Inn was also one of the nicest hotels we've ever stayed at and I would highly recommend. Our guests raved about the entire affair, especially the food which was exceptional. If you're looking to get married in SoCal, Ponte Winery should be at the top of your list! -

I had my wedding at Ponte just a couple of weeks ago. It was absolutely spectacular and a dream come true! Our wedding coordinator, Liz Tyler, made sure that all of our wedding details came together perfectly. She was always in constant communication with me throughout the whole process and checked on me throughout the whole day. She is probably one of the nicest human beings you will ever meet. Everything at Ponte was right on schedule and very efficient. They have everything right there for you and it makes it so easy and convient for your guest. I felt throughout the evening that my guest were so well taken care of. Even days after the wedding, I got so many compliments on the food and appetizers. It was all so delicious. They also recommended outstanding vendors to choose from. Lastly, everybody from the hotel staff, the event staff, and the wedding coordinators were so so so nice!! It was the perfect place to have our wedding and I could have asked for anything more!

My husband and I were married at Ponte Winery in April, 2017. We had only one month to plan a wedding and it was flawless!!! Our wedding planner was Lauren Gonzalez and she is SO AMAZING!!! Very prompt in returning phone calls and even when we dropped into the office she easily made time to answer any and all of our questions. We were married in the Barrel Room which I think was such an intimate and special place to have our reception. We had the wedding of our dreams. Thanks for everything, especially to Lauren Gonzalez and the whole Ponte Winery team you all made our day so special. -

I got married at Ponte Winery ( Vineyard Pavilion side) February 2017.
My venue coordinator was Lindsey Dole: Lindsey was a top notch coordinator. She had impeccable attention to detail. Her response times were immediate. She was always willing to help, respond and to give advice. Lindsey was organized and didn't miss a beat with details. The wedding was truly flawless, and it would have been impossible without someone like Lindsey orchestrating everything. Words can't truly express how perfect Lindsey was for me. I must have emailed her 10,000 times over the year, and she always responded with a positive attitude.
The Food:I know Ponte food is delicious because I go often. So it is no surprise I haven't stopped hearing about how delicious everyone thought the food was. They made easy accommodations for vegetarians and allergies, and didn't make a big deal of it. They were happy to accommodate substitutions and all my requests. The food tasting and head chef were also amazing. What an exceptional team.
Venue:The Ponte Venue in general is so tranquil , classy and peaceful. It is a mature environment that is beautiful at every turn. You have the beauty of wine country, and the chic class of a gorgeous property and ball room.
Vendors:Pontes suggestions for Vendors such as DJ Pros, & Ashley Video Productions was such a good decision. DJ pros made the reception perfect and Ashley Video had a video preview made in a matter of days.
Privacy:Lindsey and the team made my wedding very private. They do a good job putting up blocks so that you do not have anyone not invited walking through your tranquil space. There were no interruptions or distractions. It was truly perfect.Tear down:
The crew did an exceptional job tearing down and repacking all my items. They accommodated me bringing my items early and packed it up just as neatly as received. They delivered all the items exactly where I said I wanted everything and not one item was lost or broken. -

Ponte was everything I was looking for in a venue and more! It's a beyond beautiful setting for a wedding. The food is AMAZING (as is the wine) and the professional staff are wonderful! We simply lucked out with our on-site wedding coordinator, Elizabeth. She is an absolute dream to work with - organized, caring, and soooooo responsive and attentive. I never had to tell her anything twice. I owe much of how well everything came together to her. As another plus, when you book your wedding at Ponte they throw in a complimentary night at the Ponte Inn and a year's membership to their Wine Club. Thank Ponte for making my wedding dreams into a reality :) -

What a beautiful wedding venue is Ponte Winery. Our Photography and videography team had a chance to capture an amazing wedding event there on summer 2016.
We were fascinated by the architecture of the main building and by the stunning view of the valley.
Such a great location for the wedding! For the romantic pictures we found plenty of cute spots inside the rose garden and of course didn’t miss the chance to capture gorgeous sunset pictures of the Ponte’s Vineyard!
Was was a surprise when we found out that the reception area is located in one of the brans with wine barrels- very unique for sure!
Life.Film gives this venue all 5 stars and we with pleasure will capture more weddings events at this beautiful location.

My husband and I got married on July 25th, 2016 at the Ponte Vineyard Inn ceremony location and our reception was in the Barrel room. Everything turned out perfect, better than we could have imagined! From the beginning our wedding planner Elizabeth Tyler was amazing. She was always very responsive and helpful! The day of was stress free as the entire staff was amazing. The venue was beautiful and our guests still can't stop raving about the scenery, staff, wine, food, and entire wedding. -

Look no further. Ponte is the real deal -- 5 stars all the way around. Our experience was terrific and we believe that wasn't by chance as our planner Christina had this event wired right down to the smallest of details. Her "can do" attitude, high energy pace and confidence resulted in a job well done. She was assisted by other members of the Ponte crew who in turn provided additional proof that they are a team of very capable professionals. -

Ponte Winery was the best decision we made throughout our entire wedding planning process. There are no words to describe how pristine, perfect, and gorgeous the grounds are kept - you have to see it for yourself. It was such an easy decision! We signed the paperwork a year and a half in advance of our June 2016 wedding and Marissa Mendoza was our initial wedding coordinator. As a type A, picky, detail-oriented bride, I emailed Marissa countless times during the year. I can't even tell you how many times because it would be embarrassing! She answered every email promptly, professionally, and was extremely helpful in providing suggestions. A couple months before our wedding, Marissa went on maternity leave and Lindsey Dole took over our wedding. The transition was effortless and Lindsey was just as responsive and awesome!
One of the reasons we chose Ponte is because it can stand on its own with no extra decor and still be breathtaking. I am no DIY Pinterest bride, but with some decor we picked out ourselves and beautiful flowers by our florist, the venue was absolutely perfect. All of our guests were raving about how beautiful our wedding was! Everyone kept saying how "Pinterest-worthy" it was and I attribute 100% of that to Ponte itself.
Our wedding itself was perfect. We originally had our family members ready to set up our decor, but the Ponte staff completely took over and set everything up better than I could have even imagined! Our family kept raving about how helpful and professional the Ponte staff were. Little things like giving the bridal cottages a free fruit tray to snack on and champagne to drink, leaving hor d'oeuvres and champagne in the cottage right after the ceremony so my husband and I could have a special moment alone, cleaning up after the reception and refusing to let my family lift a finger...they were just unbelievably thoughtful and genuinely seemed like they wanted to make sure everything went perfectly.

We got married at Ponte Vineyard Inn and had our reception at the Ponte Winery Barrel Room this past June. We moved to Chicago from Scottsdale, AZ while deciding on a venue, but knew we wanted something different. We were thrilled with our wedding – such a beautiful property! Christina (Sales Coordinator) was great – always very responsive and thorough. Most of our guests stayed at Ponte Inn (part of the reason we choose Ponte) and loved it! It was such a fun experience to all be on property for a few days. Would highly recommend Ponte for a wedding venue! -

My husband and I knew from the beginning we wanted a winery wedding, and after literally searching all over California, we found Ponte and we do NOT regret for one second having our wedding here! The venue itself is absolutely stunning and I cannot say enough about the VALUE of booking at Ponte. The food was unbelievable- hands down the best wedding food I have ever tasted! In fact, the wedding food was SO GOOD, our guests were too busy eating to interrupt us for pictures and congratulations (everyone always says you don't have time to eat at your wedding but that was simply not the case). In addition to how the food tasted, the portion sizes were quite generous, so between all of the courses, our guests definitely did not go home hungry. If the beautiful venue, exceptional food, and amazing wine aren't enough to convince you to book your wedding at Ponte, then let me tell you what truly sets this place apart from the rest; and that is the staff. My husband and I were impressed from the second we met the wedding coordination staff; they were friendly, bubbly, knowledgeable, and genuinely loved their jobs. They were so easy to work with, responded to emails and phone calls quickly, and kept in constant contact with us. Both Lindsey and Marissa were amazing wedding coordinators and made planning so smoothly. Everyone, and I literally mean EVERYONE- from our bridal hostess, banquet captain, and servers were phenomenal. They made the day so enjoyable and were so wonderful to work with- everyone went out of their way to make you feel special! From the moment we stepped onto the grounds until the last seconds we checked out of Ponte Inn the morning after our wedding, we truly felt like we were treated like family. We look forward to celebrating at Ponte for the many years to come! -

There is not enough space for me to say how fabulous Ponte is. I should start off by saying the staff hands down is the best team of individuals to work with and when planning a wedding, that is essential. My wedding coordinator, Christina H., is professional, precise, and detailed. Christina ensured that every moment for us was special. The idea of planning a wedding and the cost can be daunting. The value at Ponte is more than reasonable. The food, wine, and staff is well worth every penny. More importantly, I shopped other venues in wine country and no venue was comparable to pricing and accommodations.
Days and months leading up to our wedding were seamless. Communication ran fluidly via email and was followed up with phone calls when needed. Changes that were requested were easily accommodated.
Our wedding day was flawless. Literally flawless. A staff member is with you from start to finish. The comfort in knowing someone cares about your special day as much as you makes it that much more amazing. Ponte has the highest standards. Even with day off changes, the staff handled family members, guests, and our wedding party with smiles and ease. I am so thankful to Christina and staff. Thank you again. You are the best team I have worked with for any business I have conducted, I truly mean that. -

From the beginning, my wife (fiance then) and I wanted a winery wedding. We went to visit several locations, each of them offered something different, but nothing really stood out. We got to the point where we narrowed it down to two places and we chose Ponte Winery and Vineyard Inn. We not only chose them for what they had to offer, but also because they wanted our business and showed us the most professionalism. We are so glad we met Marissa Mendoza and her events team at Ponte Winery! She was not only helpful by giving us advice when looking for a venue before we booked with Ponte, but she was with us throughout the entire process! No question went unanswered and she always replied to our emails in a timely manner with the most professionalism and enthusiasm! We got married just over a week ago, more specifically, we had our ceremony at the Vineyard Garden and our reception was at the Vineyard Pavillion. Marissa and her event staff really made our day special! We are so glad we chose Ponte Winery! Thank you again Marissa and Ponte Winery for making our day, truly unforgettable! -

I cannot say enough great things about Ponte and our Wedding Coordinator Marissa! Everything went beautifully - I could not have asked for anything more. They were so on it from beginning to end - we wanted for nothing. So many of my guests were raving about the venue, the wine, the Barrel room - 5 stars!!! -

We got married at the Ponte Winery Vineyard Garden and Pavilion on November 7, 2015. We had such an incredible wedding, thanks to Ponte! The Vineyard Garden was a beautiful setting for our ceremony with views of the vines and the Pavilion space worked really well for a fun reception! We had a great experience working with the whole Ponte Staff, especially with our amazing coordinator, Marissa Mendoza! The execution of the day was flawless and Marissa kept everyone and everything in order to make our experience stress-free. Our guests really enjoyed the weekend (many stayed at the Ponte Inn next door) we received many compliments on the food, wine, and service at the wedding! -

My husband and I had our wedding at Ponte a little over two weeks ago, and it was the most beautiful, perfect day we could have asked for! First, the venue itself is STUNNING. Everything is so centrally located and easy to navigate, which was great because we had elderly guests who could not walk around much. The staff-- we cannot speak highly enough of every single person involved in our day! Marissa was a superstar throughout the whole planning process and the day of the wedding, Nicole was so sweet and helpful as our bridal hostess, and the entire reception staff was incredibly attentive and kind during dinner and dancing! Ponte makes planning a wedding so much easier and truly fun, and you can see just how every staff member wants to make the day as enjoyable as possible. It is easily the best venue in Temecula for a wedding, we could not have picked a better place for our big day! -

Ponte Winery is absolutely perfect and the staff are wonderful! We are from Chicago so this was a destination wedding for us. The property is so beautiful and very different than all of the other wineries in the area. Ponte made the entire process so easy and accommodating the only two times we were in CA and through email. The food and wine was so delicious compared to any banquet hall or catering service, the staff really wanted to help and definitely made the day perfect, and our coordinator Marissa was truly amazing with all of her ideas, decor, and responsiveness. All of our vendors said wonderful and honest things about Ponte, and how much they love it which just made the entire planning process super easy. Thanks to Ponte, our wedding guests really understood why we chose it over other wineries and why we chose a destination wedding. Everyone had a great time and Ponte made sure of it. I really cannot wait to go back again. -

I would like to say that the Special Events Coordinator Elizabeth and all the staff at Ponte made my wedding day AMAZING! The venue is beautiful, the food and wine are awesome and everyone makes you feel like the most important people in the world. For most people their wedding day is full of stress and worry that things will go wrong and I must say that for my day I was without a care in the world, all I had to do was enjoy myself. I am so grateful for Elizabeth without her I don't know what would have came of the day. Thank you everyone at Ponte we will definitely be back. -

Amazing, wonderful, perfect, beautiful are just some of the words to describe Ponte! There are not enough words to describe how pleased we are with the location and staff at Ponte. We recently got married there, Friday, February 20, 2015, best day ever!
Marissa Mendoza was our coordinator. She made our day wonderful. Always responded quickly to emails/phone calls. She went out of her way several times with requests that I had made. Plus she busted her butt the entire wedding day. Marissa is the best.
Most of us stayed at the Inn the night before and night of wedding. The staff at the Inn are just as wonderful.
I highly recommend Ponte, not only for the exceptionally beautiful venue and great food, but for the staff and all the extras that comes with it. -

Ponte Winery is an elegant setting for a wedding, any time of the year. We were married on November 28 in front of the beautiful little pond (complete with ducks and a dock!) and vineyards at the Ponte Vineyard Inn and had our cozy reception of 100 in the Barrel Room. I highly recommend the Barrel Room for 100 or less people as it is cozy and when decorated with drapes and uplighting, it makes for a dramatic setting for dinner and dancing. You will not be disappointed.
The food at Ponte is pricey at $140pp (everything included) but worth every penny. We upgraded to the Taste of the Vineyards for a greater selection (roasted bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin/stuffed portobello mushroom) but this also included the seafood appetizer bar which was a big hit with our guests. And they were generous with pre-ceremony champagne for the guests and for the bridal party!
Our wedding coordinator, Marissa Mendoza, and her staff member Wendy were extremely professional and responsive and looked after every detail. They worked very hard to ensure everything went smoothly and get extra credit for being cat herders at times! I highly recommend having Marissa as your coordinator if you have the opportunity to choose.
Ponte provides a room at the Ponte Vineyard Inn to prepare but we added an additional night the night before as 10AM was not early enough for us to begin getting ready for a 3:00PM ceremony. The rooms are elegantly appointed and the L'Occitane toiletries were a very nice touch! We also enjoyed the firepits in the evening with a glass of wine. We also had friends and relatives stay at the Inn and they agreed that Ponte was a 5 star experience.
Finally, we joined the Ponte Wine Club so that we could taste and enjoy their wines in the months leading up to the ceremony. Our guests raved about Super T and the Moscato.
We can't say enough how elegant and perfect our special day was at Ponte Winery. And it will be special place to return to for many years to come. -

The wedding was so beautiful and ran so smoothly, it's clear that the staff is well experienced and loves what they do. We worked with Christina and then also Jamie on the wedding day. Every detail was delivered just as promised, the staff was accomadating to our special requests, and we felt it was important to the staff that the day be stress free and special for us. Even though the wedding was outside, the ceremony was kept private. The pavilion was perfect for dancing with a convenient close area for cocktail hour. Ponte was recommended to us by friends, and we also highly recommend Ponte for a wedding venue. It was the perfect wedding day. -

Words can not express how wonderful our wedding was at Ponte. Our ceremony was at the Inn and our reception in the barrel room. We, along with many of our guests stayed at the Inn for the weekend and had such an amazing time. The service at both the Inn and the winery far exceeded our expectations from the time we booked our date to the end of the wedding day. Marissa Mendoza was out coordinator and so great to work with, responded very quickly to any questions or concerns I had. On our big day Marissa and my bridal hostess Alexis were fantastic. I had absolutely no stress, they checked on us throughout the day and just made everything flow perfectly! I can't say enough about Ponte. It's so beautiful in every way and we had the wedding of our dreams!! -

I cannot say enough nice things about Ponte! Our wedding there was absolutely phenomenal, and everything we dreamed of (and more)! The staff (especially Christina, Wendy and Andrew) were beyond accommodating. The atmosphere was so romantic and the food was outstanding. We don't ever have to visit any other Temecula winery to know we made the perfect choice! -

My now husband and I toured several wineries in the Temecula area before deciding on Ponte. We instantly feel in love with its gorgeous gardens, vineyards, and landscapes. The winery also has onsite bridal cottages for day of getting ready. We even turned the grooms cottages into a babysitting room for our daughter and out of town bridal party members traveling with family. As a mother and business owner, I needed as little coordinating as possible for my big day. Ponte handled all set up and materials for the ceremony and reception. My only tasks were finding vendors such florist, musicians, DJ, baker, officiant, etc. Ponte even provided a recommended vendor list making my researching process so easy. Almost all of our vendors were from that recommended vendor list and knew the onsite coordinators and the winery very well, which took a lot of coordinating and communicating work off my plate.
Our contact and coordinator was named Christina Van Houten and she was remarkably professional and easy to work with. She answered every single question we had prior to signing our contract and then continued to assist us throughout the entire planning process. She was always easy to get a hold of, always communicated when she may be unavailable and how to contact other assistance, and always responded in a very timely manner. I even had some last minute guests cancel changing my seating chart and Christina was right there to accept my changes.
The day of our event was completely flawless, I could not have dreamed of a more perfect day. The ceremony was breathtaking and the reception was perfect. Service was quick, food was hot, staff was very helpful and respectful to our guests. My parents, family, our guests, and bridal party have not stopped talking about what an amazing and wonderful time they had. They complimented us on the scenery, the wine, and the outstanding service. I would highly recommend a wedding at Ponte, you will not be disappointed.

Ponte did an outstanding job the day of my wedding. I received so many compliments on the venue and the food. The location of the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception are conveniently located right next to each other and each has it's own beautiful views. They worked well with each of my vendors which helped make my wedding flow so smoothly. They helped make my dream come true. -

My wife and I had our wedding ceremony at the Ponte Inn and the reception at the Barrel Room for about 70 guests. We did not have a wedding coordinator and Christina from Ponte provided us all the help we needed. The whole experience of planning for the wedding leading up to the big day was just as fun and memorable as the day itself, and it certainly wouldn't have been that way without someone as experienced and organized and easy to work with as Christina guiding us along the way.
Before choosing Ponte as our venue we'd visited several wineries in the area, but there was no comparison to the quality of Ponte's wedding facility. Ponte has a rustic and natural look but it's clean and modern at the same time. You can easily tell from the little things like the automatic entrance door at the inn and cleanliness of the restrooms. Also, if you're targeting barrel rooms to hold the reception, Ponte has the best.
The entire wedding weekend was perfect from rehearsal to clean-up. I signed up a winery tour for my wedding party following the rehearsal and it was fun. The rooms at the Inn are well kept and had great views. As for the wedding, my wife and I both had very high expectation and it turned out even better than we had expected. Christina and Wendy took care of the details to make sure everything's in place.
We also used most of our vendors (Flowers/Draping/Decoration, DJ/Lighitng, Photography/Video, Cake) from Ponte's vendor list and they are all very good and had lots of experience working at Ponte. -

Ponte Winery was the first location we viewed when looking for our venue. Let me admit, it ruined every other place. The grounds are just stunning, the staff is so friendly and warm. They made our day. Everyone who came to the wedding remarked on how beautiful the winery is and how nice the staff was. I'm so glad we chose Ponte and can't wait for our next visit! -

Ponte winery was the perfect setting for our wedding! I can’t even begin to say enough good things about my wedding at Ponte Winery! Ponte is a first class venue with first class service! BEAUTIFUL location! The staff was super helpful setting up the reception! And the bridal suite was gorgeous and had plenty of room. The bridal assistant they provided made sure me and my wife had everything we needed and was a much appreciated stress reliever. We had our reception in the extremely unique barrel room. All of our guests commented on how gorgeous the winery was, and the staff made it so much more comfortable. So many truly professional details makes this the BEST place to say I DO :) The day of our wedding was AMAZING and everything turned out PERFECT!!!
Overall, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Ponte Winery for a wedding. Thank you Ponte for such a beautiful wedding day! -

We loved Ponte since we stepped foot onto their property when we were looking at venues! Our coordinator Christina was a pleasure to work with! She's very nice, organized, flexible and accommodating the whole time we were working with her. She was responsive to my emails and calls and was very patient with me with all the questions I had. Her and the bridal hostess Wendy were a great help the day of the wedding. Wendy had everything set up the way we envisioned if not better! Brides are always anxious to know if the reception area is decorated well and whatnot, and Wendy made it happen! Thank you Christina, Wendy, and all the Ponte staff!!! -

Gorgeous venue to have a wedding at! Christina was amazing at helping us plan the big day and Wendy was so great to us and hardworking on the day of. As an event planner an perfectionist I had a lot of details that were all exactly what I wanted and on the day of the wedding I was able to enjoy being a bride and not have any worries about the day. We wanted somewhere that gave us a classic and sophisticated feel and the winery did more than that! Stay at the Inn with your girls the night before in the suite. You won't be disappointed :) -

We looked at several wineries for our wedding and Ponte was a clear choice from the minute we stepped on property. Not only is the property breathtaking and the wines amazing, but the service is PHENOMENAL. We felt so welcomed and the staff is super friendly. Christina our wedding coordinator helped us every step of the way and provided a list of vendors that lived up to the same standard of service that Ponte gave. Our wedding day was seamless and non stressful due to the hardworking staff at Ponte. The Bridal and Groomsmen Cottages provided the morning of are a perfect place to get ready without the hassle of transportation. The Ponte Inn is a perfect addition to parties holding their wedding at the winery. Our wedding experience was pleasant and our big day was perfect! -

My husband and I got married at Ponte winery about 2 weeks ago and it was an amazing and memorable experience. Our coordinator, Kelsey, worked really hard to make sure that everything flowed smoothly, that our details were taken care of and that our day went perfectly, which it did. Kelsey was incredibly accomodating and responsible throughout all of our planning. The food was excellent, our guests staying in the inn were thrilled with how beautiful the grounds were, and all of the little touches - a bridal hostess throughout the day, champagne prior to the ceremony, cute getting-ready cottages - made all the difference. Our only small glitches were that our banquet captain was a bit hard to find at a few key moments (cake cutting, grand exit) - my suggestion would be to make sure the banquet staff knows your timeline - but overall, I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you Ponte for such a beautiful wedding day!

Ponte Winery gives Napa Valley a run for its money!
When I first started to plan our wedding I automatically started with wine country in Napa Valley. I have spent time at half a dozen wineries there and loved it. However, when it came to planning a wedding there I wasn't finding and getting the responsiveness I needed for planning a destination wedding.
I found an image of Ponte on Pinterest and sent them an email right away. Within hours I literally had all the information I needed to answer all my questions, make my decision, etc. The coordinator I worked with throughout my wedding planing process was very sweet, thorough & professional. She spent so much time on email & phone helping me plan every last detail being so far away. She really went above & beyond...Sending me table specs, and pics of chairs & hurricanes!
When our weekend at Ponte arrived we were greeted with their fabulous Moscato(I usually hate Moscato) and a gorgeous room for our stay(wedding night is no charge). The grounds at the Inn & the Winery are so much more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. The staff was very courteous & accommodating. For example, the restaurant was so packed when we had a big party meeting there for dinner. Our server from a previous meal saw that the hostess couldn't fit us in. She said, its no problem, put them in my section!
My coordinator was so amazing. From the rehearsal- to day of wedding, she didn't miss a beat. She was so organized & everything ran smoothly.
Not only is this place beautiful, have a lovely staff & super wedding coordinators but their food & wine are exceptional. I am so impressed with Ponte & Temecula! It is truly such great value & feels so exclusive! -

I can’t even begin to say enough good things about my wedding at Ponte Winery! Ponte is a first class venue with first class service! From day one, Tori and Christina were very accommodating and very attentive to my every need! Questions, phone calls and e-mails were responded to immediately and always with an answer or solution. The staff at Ponte is friendly, professional and very knowledgeable! The venue is amazing and beautiful. My wedding was in May and the winery was gorgeous! Every step of the wedding process was smooth and easy, and that is mostly due to Tori and Christina! The food was delicious and they offer many choices, which can be mixed and matched! The Reception Pavilion was top-of-the-class! The chairs, tables, china and décor are extremely nice! I would recommend this place over and over again to anyone who is considering having their wedding at Ponte! You will not be disappointed!! -

My husband and I got married at Ponte Winery and we could not have asked for a more beautiful venue and for a better staff. Kelsey Smith was our wedding coordinator and she was very prompt and responsive and we knew we were in very good hands with her.
On the day of the wedding the staff was so on top of everything! Some friends of ours came to the venue earlier in the day to help set up the reception and Kelsey and her staff sent them home and said they would take care of everything and they did! Many of our guests commented on how smoothly everything ran and it really helped my husband and I relax on our big day.
I would definitely recommend Ponte for anyone who is looking to get married in the Southern California area! -

Christina Van Houten and her staff at Ponte were amazing! We can't say enough about how special we felt that day and how every detail was taken care of for us. We didn't have any stress the day of our wedding because Christina thought of every detail and Ponte has the most beautiful setting for a wedding that we had ever seen! We knew our wedding at Ponte would be beautiful but it was more amazing than we ever dreamed. Thank you so much for making our day even better than a dream come true! -

The Ponte Winery is the best place to get married. The venue is beautiful, the staff are amazing, the food is delicious and it is very affordable. Kelsey Smith did an amazing job as the wedding coordinator and made sure all the vendors arrived and were set up. The bridal assistant they provided made sure me and my wife had everything we needed and was a much appreciated stress reliever. I was appalled to find out other venues charged up to $6 per person for cake cutting, which was a free service provided and saved a lot of unnecessary cost. On top of all the great things provided to us from Ponte, they through in a free night at their amazing Inn. We are also getting a free year wine membership and an anniversary lunch. I can't say enough great things about how great our experience was and I highly recommend anyone to have their wedding there; I couldn't imagine having our wedding anywhere else.Ponte Winery & Vineyard Inn's reply:
Hi Kennyth, Thank you for sharing a review of Ponte! We are so happy your big day went off just the way you imagined it and that our staff was part of making your day stress free and memorable. We look forward to having you as a wine club member and joining us to relive your wedding day for many years to come! Cheers and congrats! -Amanda -

From the moment we walking into Ponte Winery we knew this was where we were going to get married. We had spent the day going from vineyard to vineyard checking out wedding sites and we were just about to leave when we came across Ponte and decided to make one last stop. The level of service we received from the moments we walk through those barn doors blew us away and we were sold. The all-inclusive nature of the winery made planning our wedding simple and stress free and Tori and her team made sure the our wedding went off without a hitch. We had our ceremony at the beautiful Ponte Vineyard Inn, our reception in the Garden Pavilion and an after party in the newly built Cellar Room at the Inn. The Inn opened right before our wedding which was an added bonus since all our guest could enjoy our wedding and stay right on site as well. As a thank you for getting married at Ponte they give you a membership to their wine club (the only winery we came a crossed that did this). Now every month we drive to Temecula with friends to spend the day at Ponte and relive our wedding day. Ponte made us feel that we were more than just a client to them, they made us feel like we were part of the Ponte family. Thank you Tori and your amazing team at Ponte for giving us the wedding of our dreams.Ponte Winery & Vineyard Inn's reply:
Hi Alissa, We are so happy to have been a part of your big day. We love to hear that our staff helped make your day so memorable! It is also so sweet to hear that you enjoy visiting Ponte every month to pick up your wine club shipment, welcome to the family! We look forward to seeing you again soon! Cheers to many happy and healthy years for you and your new husband, Amanda M. -

I couldn't have been more pleased with my experience with Ponte! We were married at the Ponte Inn and had the reception in the Barrel Room and none of it could have looked better or gone more smoothly. We wanted to have the wedding on a Saturday and they allowed us to have the small wedding we wanted (50 people), where we wanted, and on the date we wanted (unheard of in the area). I wanted for nothing the day of the wedding and leading up to it. Tori, our coordinator, kept us on track with everything through emails (from tastings to picking out linen and then some), so I really didn't have to do anything with setting these meetings up. They were also very flexible with our ever changing guest list. The Best Man's wife was pregnant at the time with the possibility of going into labor any minute. Until about a week before the wedding we weren't sure that either of them would make it (they did, she delivered a week later, and everything's great). The day of, I was able to stay in the room provided for me and not lift a finger. The staff were great about anticipating any needs and having things done before I even had a chance to ask. It was fantastic!! I seriously could go on and on about the service and the staff. They really did make an already special day amazing!Ponte Winery & Vineyard Inn's reply:
Julie, we love to hear that our staff played such a large role in making your big day so memorable! We feel lucky to have been a part of your nuptials and hope that Ponte will continue to be a special place for you and your family for many years to come! We look forward to seeing you again soon!

This site makes your wedding day easy. You can get ready in the cute bridal cottage (they have a groom's one too), have your pictures in the beautiful garden setting or vineyards, and have your wedding and reception all in place. Plus, the staff is very attentive and professional. Tori is very detailed oriented and makes sure your day goes off without a hitch. Although it rained on our wedding day, she was able to make last minute arrangements for us. Everything was truly amazing and perfect. We couldn't be happier with our day, and the staff at Ponte was a big part of that. Plus, the food and wine were wonderful!!Ponte Winery & Vineyard Inn's reply:

From the moment we laid our eyes on Ponte, we knew we would have our wedding there. Yeah, we did the obligatory looking around at other venues (South Coast Winery, places in Orange County, etc.), but no other place had the combination of beauty, charm, value, and service. Even though we had the wedding in the middle of winter, the grounds were still gorgeous. The food was fantastic, the recommended vendors were all great, and everyone from Ponte was extremely gracious and helpful.
Our wedding coordinator, Kelsey Smith, was an absolute joy to work with. She constantly and quickly responded to the barrage of emails, questions, and concerns. Kelsey would always patiently work with us to make sure everything turned out exactly as we pictured it. The wedding ceremony and reception went off without a hitch. Kelsey and her team coordinated the entire wedding with great care and precision.
Overall, I would highly recommend Ponte Winery for a wedding. I don't think anywhere else in the area comes even close to what they have to offer.
Thanks Ponte!Ponte Winery & Vineyard Inn's reply:

My husband and I were so impressed with the level of professionalism, organization, and quality Ponte had to offer. Everything was beautiful and went off without a hitch. The only thing I would recommend is giving the wait service a heads up if you have time schedule you'd like to maintain. The service changed once we were in the Pavilion and I don't think they knew our time schedule, so I had to tell them to start serving dinner. It cut into our dancing time a bit, but it wasn't that big of a deal. Overall, everything was perfect! We often wish we could do that do again.Ponte Winery & Vineyard Inn's reply:
Alison, thank you for posting a review! We will definitely share your note with the event planning team- your recommendation about making sure all staff know about any scheduling is very helpful! We feel blessed to have been part of making your day a memorable one, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon! Cheers to many years of bliss, Amanda -

We loved having our wedding at Ponte! We had looked at venues from San Diego, to LA, to Malibu and Orange County. And while they were gorgeous venues, they did not offer the same bells and whistles as Ponte did. Ponte does not charge a cake cutting fee. Chivari chairs and linens are already part of the venue. You get a one year membership to their wine club - we must have already received 8 bottles of wine from them. They have all sorts of other props, wedding items you might need that they don't charge you for.
There are different food choices that are priced at different tiers from affordable to expensive. The setting is beautiful. We had an outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception (we used the Pavillion). The Pavillion is intimate and the dance floor is central so everyone can see what's going on. We had 150 guests. You still have the winery feel with the vineyards as a backdrop, but you also have a resort/tuscany feel as well. It's the best of both worlds. I'd highly recommend them.Ponte Winery & Vineyard Inn's reply:
Hi Tiffany,

I dreamed of having my wedding at Ponte Winery ever since I first visited 3 years earlier during a wine tour for a friend’s birthday. So when I got married, Ponte was the first place I visited to get all the wedding information. I also went to other wineries in the area just to make sure Ponte was the best. The PRICE, LANSCAPE, and PERSONAL ATTENTION you get from Ponte is like no other and none of the other wineries could even compare.
I loved loved loved the fact that my bridal party and I could get ready right there at the venue as well as my groom and his boys were able to get ready in their own cottage as well. It made taking “getting ready” pictures super easy since we were all right there!! That was only the start to all the great stuff they provide for no additional charge.
My ceremony was held in the garden over-looking the vineyards and was super romantic, but better yet we had our reception in the barrel room which was why I chose Ponte in the first place. The barrel room is so romantic and perfect for those planning a smaller wedding. We had 75 guests and the barrel room fit everyone perfectly and it felt so intimate and personal with everyone there and all the racks of wine barrels with the tea lights shining through. They even have up-lights that you can use instead of having to rent them!!
The food is amazing as well!!! They have their own smokehouse so food is not catered in and cold by the time your guests eat. The servers are so very sweet and friendly and quick to clean the plates off the table so the area looks clean.
Over all I would get married at Ponte a million times if I could, my wedding was epic and I would never want or wish to have had my wedding anywhere else. The only bummer is that they are now building a B&B addition and I only wish that was there when I got married!!

Ponte was amazing throughout our entire wedding planning process. Tori and Karon were lifesavers. I could call with any questions that i had and they would get them answered as quickly as possible. They met with us a few times to finalize details and everything came out just as we had planned. Their day of service was great in the cottages and Tori was there running the show just like she had all 16 months of planning. -

We picked Ponte Winery for our wedding and reception basically because of the picture of the barrel room on the internet. Our requests were a little out of the norm with the wedding on one day and the reception on the next but Caren worked patiently with us. To say that our dream wedding was achieved is an understatment despite the cold and rain. Our family and friends truely enjoyed the food, servie and the venue. We continue to receive compliments on the quantity and the quality of both the food and service. Thank you Caren and Pone Winery for all of your help. -

First, I have to mention that we researched many many wineries before selecting a few to visit before choosing Ponte Family Estate for our wedding/reception including Thorton, Wiens, Wilson Creek, Faulker, South Coast. After visiting them all, Ponte had the most beautiful grounds and wedding sites, most professional and courteous staff, the best value for the quality. Not to mention that each vendor we interviewed also raved about Ponte.
It is very difficult to express in words how wonderful Ponte Family Estate was. The grounds are stunning. Our wedding was in April and the grounds were in full bloom. The vineyards behind the ceremony site has a good amount of green growth that made an exquisite backdrop for our memorable ceremony. We chose the barrel room for our reception. It was the most romantic, unique, intimate setting that we could have chosen for our special event. The barrel room was beautifully decorated with dozens of candles, nice linens, nice chairs; the rustic charm of the wine barrels made a reception site that our guests say was "the most memorable" that have ever been to. Very romantic.
Ponte has wonderful wines. They offer a discount on wedding for Ponte wine club members. Since their wines are awesome, it is worth getting a membership. Plus wine club members get two cases of wine when booking a wedding. So, you have wine to remember your wedding for some time after the wedding.
The food at our wedding was delicious, perfectly presented and raved over during and after the wedding. We had shrimp and prime rib which was high quality for the cost as compared to other wineries. Combined with tasty wines and champagne, it was the perfect culinary experience for our reception. Also, the staff that worked at the wedding and reception were responsive and professional.
The staff was professional and courteous at all phases of planning and during the event. Caren was a wonderful coordinator. She responded quickly and efficiently to all of our requests; they were able to accommodate most of our requests including a different table configuration, linens, food, prices. We communicated mostly with Caren during most of the planning. During the wedding preparation, wedding and reception, there were so many people catering to our needs and wants; honestly, I cannot remember all of their names but our event would not have been the same without them. Every person at Ponte is professional at all times.
Some awesome perks for bride and grooms choosing Ponte for their wedding and reception venue include a one year anniversary luncheon, free one year wine club membership for the bride and groom. Bride and groom cottages to prepare for the wedding. These really make you feel like Ponte cares about their bride and grooms.
By the way, South Coast Winery is next door and the bride/groom and guests can get a romantic villa for after the wedding so you don't have to drive far after the reception and lots of tasty wine at Ponte. They include a bottle of wine and breakfast with the room if you don't have to rush off to the airport in the morning. A romantic place for your wedding night.
Because of the beautiful grounds, the wedding pictures were exquisite.
The one thing I would recommend is bringing a flashlight for getting everything out of the cottages after the reception. It was very dark at 10 PM.

My wedding coordinator was awesome (C.Gomez)!!! She was very responsive and professional. Ponte is very beautiful and peaceful. If you are looking for a winery site in Temecula that only caters to one couple per day and one that is gorgeous...then look no further than Ponte Family Estates. My family and guests kept saying how beautiful the place was and that they would have to come back and visit...Ponte Family Estates made my wedding day very special!!!! -

We could not have asked for a more amazing location to have my wedding. The facilities at Ponte are beautiful and well designed. They have welcoming cottages for both the bride and groom to spend the day there in peace and quiet. The backdrop of the vineyards is second to none. We had our reception in the extremely unique barrel room. The wedding coordination staff pays attention to every detail. The best part of the wedding had to be the food. The chef's at the Smokehouse restaurant put out a stunning array of menu options and the food tastes fantastic.
You cannot go wrong with a wedding at Ponte.

Ponte Winery is a fabulous venue to host a wedding. The staff is incredibly professional and ensure your wedding day goes off without a hitch. The venue is naturally beautiful with lots of greenery from the vineyard, so not a lot of additional floral is needed, which can be a cost-saver. There isn't any room for negotiation on pricing, but they do really help ensure that the day goes smoothly and is as stress-free as possible. Our wedding day was perfect and our guests raved about how amazing our venue was. -

What an amazing venue! Our wedding day went so smoothly, all to the credit of our coordinator, Marissa Mendoza, and the Ponte staff who assisted during the wedding. They are so organized!
The process leading up to the wedding was equally painless...your assigned coordinator will walk you through every step, down to your linens and wedding day timeline.
We looked at other wineries in the Solvang and Temecula area and there was no question that Ponte rose above the rest. The property is gorgeous and the staff, friendly and professional. Everything you need is in the Ponte property, including the Ponte Inn where we all stayed and the Cellar Lounge, where we partied before and after the wedding. Best choice we could have made!!! -

Our wedding was on 10/10/14 at Ponte Winery. We stayed at the Inn and had our wedding and reception at the winery and pavilion. Over the course of planning our wedding, the staff was absolutely amazing and so very responsive, organized, and friendly. Although I am very organized and a planner, they really thought of every detail and made sure everything went off without a hitch. We received so many complements from our guests on both the venue and accommodations (for those staying at the Inn as well). We even got great reviews on the food, which is always a worry when you are feeding so many people at once. I would recommend them to anyone and will be coming back for many vacations! -

What a dream come true my wedding was!! Ponte has it all, great service, quality food and wine, and beautiful scenery. I was sold when I first walked up purely by the perfectly kept grounds and landscaping. Besides the visual aspects of Ponte, the staff is amazing. Christina (wedding planner) is the best!!! Anything is possible with her. The 12 months leading up to the big day, she was always helpful and very comforting when things got stressful, as they always do. The day of, the entire team worked together like a well oiled machine.
The food is the best is the city and is always reflective of the season. The wines are my favorite.
The Ponte Inn is a great place for family and guests to stay after the wedding. A very convenient location and very beautifully decorated.
My husband and I are so glad we got married there and we plan to visit often as we have made connections with staff members and I think that is so special. -

In a word: Seamless! I am a very particular about details. The Ponte team did not miss a beat! Christina was our consultant and every member of the day of team (the attendant, the dining captain, Christina again) were spot on. They were each handling anything and everything one could possibly need. At one point while getting ready we needed a zip lock bag....moments after my call to our sweet attendant Alexis, there she at the door holding the bag. That is only one example. Christina was popping in as necessary to cover any last minute needs. The months of planning beforehand were handled with the utmost professionalism. Christina always got right back to us (and I feel that I had numerous detailed questions). Christina handled all inquiries with a wonderful positive tone. No question was deflected or minimized. Christina always responded with great understanding, excitement and care. We fell in love with how beautiful the Ponte grounds are. We chose the smaller garden venue at the Inn. It decorates itself with the white rose garden in bloom. Our guests have followed up with us to say what a perfectly wonderful time they had. I don't use the "p" word in this messy world we live in but I will now. Our wedding day at Ponte was perfect! At the reception we needed the room temperature adjusted and it only took a moment to locate the Captain who assured us that everything would be taken care of ....and it was! The food was delicious, the flow of the evening was relaxing and fun. Ponte is a gorgeous venue with exceptional service. -

This place was amazing. When we got married in 2009, I looked at ALL the wineries. Ponte was actually the fist one we looked at. They offered so much more, for so much less. They had there stuff together, and were coming up with so many upgrades in time for my wedding, I didn't have to pay for anything extra. Caren was the best. The food was amazing and everyone loves the view and atmosphere. I cant say enough good things about ponte. I was so excited to see the new wedding pavilion that was constructed last year, it is so beautiful. This place will really take care of you and spoil you on your big day. so many truly professional details makes this the BEST place to say I DO :) -

We loved Ponte! Tori was our coordinator and she was extremly efficient. It rained on our wedding day, so we did not have the vineyard view as we dreamed. However, we were moved into the Barrel Room which was even more lovely and romantic. Everybody at Ponte wanted to ensure that we had a glorious day and that we did! Thank you! -

Our Ponte wedding was absolutely perfect! The whole staff was so easy to work with and I had a relatively easy time communicating on weekdays despite planning my wedding from across the country. The venue was simply beautiful, the food was delicious, and I received so many compliments about the venue! Caren Gomez was great, and the catering staff who handled our rehearsal dinner and wedding were incredibly helpful, friendly, and warm! -

Amazing Winery Venue
If you want incredible views of the mountains and vineyards, along with incredible personalized service, then Ponte is for you! We just had our Ponte Winery wedding! The location speaks for itself. The winery is beautiful and the wedding garden is lined with white roses, so I did not do a lot of flowers. Our guests arrived to waiters delivering champage to everyone; the guests were very impressed! The bridal attendants Ponte provides took very good care of me. The wedding coordinator, Kelsey, helped me all along the way with the planning and decision making. The day of the wedding was amazing with every detail taken care of. The staff gave such personal and impeccable service. Every guest felt like they were the most important one there. Our wedding experience was perfect...just perfect.Ponte Winery & Vineyard Inn's reply:
Hi Elizabeth! Thank you so much for choosing Ponte to host your wedding - what an honor! We are happy to hear the staff helped make your day a memorable one! Please come back soon, so we can congratulate you in person. Thanks again for sharing such a special day with us! -

The staff at Ponte was super easy to work with. We loved the vibe and atmosphere at Ponte. Plus now we are wine club members since we got married there and we can continue to enjoy the place we got married at for years to come. The staff made the day run seemless, my bridesmaids were able to enjoy the wedding with me and not have to worry about last minute details. Everything was perfect!! I enjoyed every minute of my wedding at Ponte Winery!! -

Ponte is a beautiful place to get married in many ways. The venue is gorgeous. The staff was very attentive during the planning stages and equally helpful in executing a beautiful reception. We had our reception in the Barrel Room. I think it is unparalleled in uniqueness, as opposed to the big tent outside, but I had a small wedding (80 people) so we were within the limits for that room. The food was fantastic. I recieved many complements that the food was the best people had ever had at a wedding. Specifically, we had filet mignon as a menu option and they were cooked quite nicely to medium rare. Best of all, they take care of all of the catering, equipment, and bar. It made planning much easier for us. The only down fall is the cost (about $115/person), but thats going rate for a winery wedding. -

Ponte Winery is picturesque, breathtaking, and extremely warm and welcoming. The Vineyard Pavilion is clean and stunning with very appealing and beautiful décor. The staff was accommodating, friendly, and helpful in making the planning process fun and the day a breeze. It is a bonus for my husband and me that Ponte Winery will be a place we can come back to and visit for years to come and reminisce on the best day of our lives. Thank you for making our wedding so special. -

My husband and I stayed at the Ponte Winery Inn prior to our wedding, and the night of the wedding. It is an absolutely gorgeous Inn, with breathtaking view of the surrounding vineyards. I also booked a larger suite that my bridesmaids and I stayed in the night prior to our wedding. We had a great time, service was outstanding, I would love to stay there again! -

As soon as my fiance' and I looked at Ponte Winery to hold our wedding, we knew it was the place for us. The grounds are beautiful, the wedding coordinators are very friendly & attentive, and the place takes away of a lot of the planning! Our guests still rave about the stunning scenery of the ceremony and the excellent food & wine. This is a place that my husband and I will continue to visit for many years to relive wonderful memories. -

I wanted an outdoor wedding and still something close to home. The staff was great during our wedding day, they attended to my wedding party while we took pictures. To this day, I have guests remind me how much they had enjoyed our wedding. Every year, we still return to the venue to reminisce. They've made a lot of improvements from the time we were married, which makes us want to renew our vows in the same location! The food was excellent along with having the entire location open to my guests. By the time your wedding begins, all customers are off the premise and the entire place is left to you and your guests. We truly loved this venue! -

We knew we wanted to get married at Ponte, so we booked our wedding the day we got engaged. The wedding coordinators were wonderful, and were always available to answer any question we had, no matter what it was in regards to. The timeline provided by the winery was especially helpful with planning our big day. The day of, it rained, so we had to do a lot of last minute revisions, including moving our ceremony from an outdoor location to indoors in the Barrel Room. Everyone was terrific, and did everything they could to make our wedding the most incredible day and evening possible! I would not hesitate to recommend this venue for a wedding and reception!! -
