First, the space is beautiful. I particularly loved how customizable everything is. For forever, I knew I wanted to get married at a little white chapel and have the most beautiful, classy reception. During planning, I found that my dream was not going to come to life. My main thing was that I wanted to get married indoors (I knew for a fact it was going to rain on my wedding day). The staff helped bring my vision to life and created the most magical ceremony and reception area. The event center felt spacious and simple, yet elegant.
Secondly, and the main reason I would consider getting married here, is the staff! We worked with Kayla to plan the event and she was communicative and inventive in helping us get everything planned perfectly. The staff made sure everything ran so smoothly! There was hardly ever a line at the bar and they flipped our venue for us after the ceremony for no extra cost. They communicated through the evening, helped bus tables, made sure the trash never overflowed, and so. much. more. The staff here is incredible.
Third, the venue comes with so much included! When venue searching, it was overwhelming trying to piece together how much things would actually cost. Our package included tables, chairs, and linens, the venue for 14 hours, bartenders, the arches, and each guest was greeted with a glass of wine as they entered the ceremony. It is so worth it to do the unlimited drink package! The cocktails were fun and it was hassle-free. I loved that you could bring in any vendors you wanted, including catering, DJ, and the photographer. Overall, the cost was amazingly reasonable.
Fourth and lastly, you'll love your photos. The outdoor areas, including the bridge and vineyards, are beautiful and perfect for portraits. Make sure to ask to take photos in the barrel room!
It did rain on my wedding day, in fact, it downpoured. We were still able to have an amazing time and had a fantastic wedding due to the amazing staff and venue. The only thing I would have changed is the getting-ready areas. The women's area was a little cramped with myself, my 4 bridesmaids, 2 makeup artists, and my mom. The men's area is much smaller than the women's, so if you plan on having large wedding parties, I would recommend the men get ready beforehand. Still, I would get married here...
Read moreShowed up for the 80’s party with a very large family group of about 8 people with an additional 12 on the way, and we happened to be the only Hispanics present. It was raining on 1/3 of the patio and cold. There weren’t enough heaters to go around but there was a smaller group right outside the door on the patio who had 2 fireplaces. I politely asked if my group could have 1 of them and they rudely said “I guess so” and I, being appreciative regardless of their attitude bulled the fireplace to my group. Once I walked away to get the rest of the chairs for my wife and kids, one of the ladies walked up and demanded we moved somewhere else and told us that this is where the DJ will be set up. We left plenty of room for the DJ we just didn’t want to be in the rain and wanted to be warm. I felt there was no need to be that snooty. This experience really threw me off as well as the rest of my family and as a result, we felt uncomfortable and unwelcome so we left; therefore, this experience compelled me to write this review in hopes to encourage the owners to correct the attitudes of their employees and create an environment where patrons display kindness towards one another regardless of their heritage or ethnic or background. There’s no need to speak to another person with such animosity just because somebody politely asked for a fireplace for 20 people from a group of about 6 who had 2 fireplaces. I’m going to take a brief hiatus from this establishment. I’ll check back in the future to see if the atmosphere is more welcoming and inviting for members of the...
Read moreI worked for Lost Oak winery for about a year and a half back in 2008, which was actually more “fun” than work. I quickly became attached to the family and took on a sense of belonging. I always enjoyed my shifts, the scenery, the amazing wine and all the great customers! Back in July 2016 my boyfriend proposed to me and I immediately began planning our wedding. No other venue came to mind than Lost Oak Winery! Not only did I personally know how all weddings were planned and executed but the scenery is also magnificent. I was happy to learn that they had built a new pavilion for weddings and such. Wow, was I surprised at this grand structure!! Not only is it full of light, the beautify from the outdoors is brought in with all the windows. I must say they did an exquisite job with the plans of this building. We were happy to meet Sheila, our wedding coordinator. She helped me go through all the steps slowly and professionally. As a bride, you can be scatterbrained but Sheila helped me stay focused, on schedule and suggested things I had never thought of! We had a rather limited budget but with Sheila's help, you would think we had spent triple what we did!!! She was amazing to work with! Since our wedding, many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had ever been to. From the food, to our first dance which was choreographed to surprise our guests. Sheila also referred us to a phenomenal DJ who had everyone on the dance floor till the end. It was the PERFECT venue........ a night that no one will ever forget, especially for my...
