St Josef's Winery Reviews

I am so glad we had our wedding at St. Josef’s! We used the beautiful pond for our ceremony, and Lilli’s Pad for our reception. It was perfect for our 50 person wedding. Everyone absolutely LOVED the venue! Not to mention, the wine was fantastic too :) Tara, the owner, is such a wonderfully warm and caring person, and she brought us a cold bottle of rosé while we were getting ready. She even jumped in and saved the day by shuttling people, myself included, down to the ceremony in her personal car when the golf cart battery died. She was flexible to our requests, and overall made us feel at home. What a wonderful gift St. Josef’s gave us: warm hospitality on our big day. Thank you so much!

Beautiful venue with a knowledgeable staff that will make sure your wedding day runs smoothly!

This is such a beautiful place to get married! When we first toured this venue a year ago I knew this would be a very special place for a wedding. From the beautiful rose filled pond ceremony site to the gorgeous courtyard reception area I was amazed at how classic this Winery is. Rows of vineyards stretch far and wide and the seclusion you feel when you are here is unreal. There is plenty of parking and it's easy to get around. The only thing that might be tricky for some including myself due to my disabled father was the steep walk down to the ceremony site but Tara was willing to allow us to use their on site cart to get him down there but for a bigger gathering think about renting a golf cart! We had our wedding during Covid times so when we had to change our plans almost entirely and Tara was just amazing to work with. And when we had to change our plans again the day before due to rain she was right there again with suggestions and complete and total accommodation. My bridesmaids and I were able to get dressed in their wonderful bridal sweet complete with its own bathroom! And their wine is amazing as well! Words cannot express how happy I am with this venue and I cannot recommend them highly enough. We are even booking them next year for our post-covid wedding celebration!

This is a beautiful venue. The wedding coordinator, Tara has been so helpful. It has made planning this event go better than I had hoped.

St. Josef's Winery provided a perfect backdrop to an AMAZING wedding. The staff was friendly and the family atmosphere was easy to see. So many memories were made at this venue. Joe was like a comedy gangsta, cruising by to deliver drive-by jokes from his golf cart throughout the day while setting up. The european setting was perfect for our wedding. The winery grounds were just as beautiful as the family running it! :)

Always have a plan B if it rains. We did not order a tent and it was a little misty for our guests, but
Was plenty of room inside for our 180 guests!

When we had to completely reschedule and reimagine our wedding day due to the COVID-19 virus and the financial problems this pandemic has caused our family, I did not expect that the vendor we would have the most issues with was St. Josef's. Tara was the least available of all my vendors to discuss changes, was incredibly insensitive, and promised options for accommodating changes due to COVID-19 that were not followed through on.

All my vendors were quick to communicate and offer new dates, options, and make adjustments, Tara responded to emails with a huge delay, during which we made plans for a new date where St. Josef's was unavailable. Tara was downright rude in communicating that they were unable to refund our deposit because of canceling due to "personal reasons" - those reasons being a pandemic, our new date not being available, as well as the immense and unpredicted financial strain and stress of planning, reschedule, and/or throwing a wedding amidst a global crisis.

How we treat others during challenges is so representative of our true selves, and St. Josef's has proven themselves to be heartless, cold, and dismissive.

Update: After I posted this review, they sent me half my deposit back.
