My husband and I got married at Vine Hill House in June of 2024 and can’t thank them enough for all the work and dedication this team put in to making our day the greatest day of our lives! I’m not sure where to even start because this venue is so unbelievably special. The views are truly spectacular, we had guests going to all the well-known vineyards/wineries in the area and still when they walked through the hydrangeas into the space their jaws dropped. It’s something you really have to see to believe. Being able to spend the whole day getting ready, marrying my best friend, dancing under the biggest full moon I’ve ever seen is something out of a movie. We have heard from every single guest that it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to and that is no doubt thanks to the team here. This brings me to Brigitte and Dan. Wow. They truly blew me away, from our first tour at Vine Hill I knew Brigitte was an expert at her craft. Coming from the event planning space I came prepared with a whole bunch of questions, she had answered all of them before I even got a chance! Then the wedding day, she is the most incredible day of coordinator, she wasn’t pushy or stressed seeming at all yet would check in on us to make sure we were ok, see if we needed water, or give us a quick update on what was coming up next. We had some delays to shuttles, a bustle that didn’t really want to bustle lol, and some pretty extreme heat on our day and she handled everything for us to the point where I was able to just completely enjoy myself. Brigitte from the bottom of my heart thank you for everything! Dan knows this venue inside and out and made sure each detail was PERFECT, he takes so much pride in his weddings and that comes through so clear. I heard later that he even showed some of our younger guests, who had never seen how wine was made, the grapes and brought them into the vineyards, and I’ve heard from their parents that they’re still talking about it! This venue truly is magic and if you get the opportunity to be married here you will absolutely love it!.

We would recommend Vine Hill House to anybody getting married. We received so many compliments on how beautiful the setting was. Getting married shaded by the trees, having dinner overlooking vineyards, and dancing under the lights – it was all a dream. The Vine Hill team takes a lot of the guesswork out of wedding planning for you. They give you a packet full of vendor options and are there to answer any and all questions. Brigitte is FANTASTIC. She’s a total pro and made the entire experience and big day go so smoothly. Wedding planning is stressful and she always made us feel so calm and certain we were in good hands. We even had a bridesmaid say they wish their coordinator was as good as she was. The Vine Hill team is particular about what vendors you work with and how the day should run, but honestly, the vendors they recommended were amazing and the day went perfectly so I would trust their judgement.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was with Vine Hill. It’s so clear that they do weddings because they love weddings — Dan and Brigitte are professional, but with the warmth of family friends. I have trouble relinquishing control to anyone, but it was so easy to trust this team and they made our day absolutely magical. It doesn’t hurt that the venue is also impossibly dreamy and gorgeous. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to marry my best friend!

The Vine Hill House staff had the best suggestions, recommendations, and advice for our wedding. Brigitte made planning such a breeze; her attention to detail and sharp memory for our preferences made us feel valued and that we were in good hands. When I wanted to change the wedding day schedule, Brigitte and Dan proposed a schedule that was entirely catered to our wants and needs – it was perfect. The day of the wedding Brigitte made my wedding design come to life! She set up the decorations exactly how I envisioned them without me giving her much guidance. Lily was a champion and helped so much with the details for our florals. The entire Vine Hill team has so much experience, they created a calm and happy feeling and it made for such a beautiful wedding! Thank you for everything – you are all the best!

My Husband and I had the most magical wedding day at Vine Hill House in early October 2023. Dan and Brigitte are so easy to work with, and they are the dream team. From our first tour to saying our last goodbye the night of the wedding, they were kind, professional and had every detail dialed in. This venue is turn-key and has weddings down like the back of their hand. If you’re a busy person and don’t have time to deal with a lot of the details of a wedding, Vine Hill House is the place for you. Our day was almost 100 degrees, but luckily Vine Hill House has gorgeous redwood trees towering over the ceremony location, we didn’t need the 100 hand fans I panic bought 3 days before the wedding. Dinner is set on a lawn overlooking a sea of grapevines, where you also have the opportunity to take stunning sunset photos. Dancing is back near the ceremony location, under the redwoods and market lights. We had the BEST DAY. We seriously couldn’t be happier with our selection of Vine Hill House. We also selected a lot of our vendors off of their preferred vendor list, which I also recommend doing. Their preferred vendors have worked with Dan and Brigitte before and know Vine Hill House very well. Your day goes smoother when your vendors have working relationships and know the venue. Our day went on without a hitch thanks to Dan, Brigitte and the Trends Catering Team. We are so thankful for them and all of our vendors for being so easy and fun to work with.

My wife and I got married at Vine Hill House in October 2023. The overall experience was absolutely amazing. Dan, Brigitte and the whole staff do such a wonderful job to make sure that the entire process goes smoothly and that your big day is magical. The care, attentiveness and attention to detail that they show is top notch. They work very well with all of the vendors and ultimately provide a wonderful experience. We would highly recommend them to any couples that are considering Vine Hill House. I cannot reiterate enough what a wonderful experience it was. Thank you so much Dan and Brigitte!

Dan, Brigitte, and their team of vendors helped us have the most magical day. The space, service, flow, and of course, the wine were better than we could’ve hoped for. Brigitte operated all day with clarity and kindness. We loved working with you and appreciate you so much.

We got married at Vine Hill House in October 2023, and it was absolutely perfect. Here is a bit about what we loved:
1. Great management team – Dan has hosted weddings for many years and guided us through the wedding planning process step-by-step. Because of his experience and advice, the recommended vendor lists, timeline support, and day of coordination (all included in the venue fee), we felt confident we weren’t missing anything and also didn’t need to have a separate wedding planner, which was a huge budget saver.
2. Great vendor team – Most of our vendors came from Vine Hill House’s preferred list and we were so happy with all of them; especially Sue and the Trends Catering team. Working with her on the menu and rentals, and then having her cook up a feast for our friends and family was a true highlight.
3. Great ambiance – We got the beautiful vineyard setting, while still being laid back and homey. A lot of other wineries feel corporate or commercial, Vine Hill House does not. It feels like you’re in a backyard (if you happen to own a gorgeous property in Sonoma), with your closest family and friends. It’s magical. And the space flows really well – there are distinct areas for cocktails, dining, dancing, etc. but it’s also all together. I think the venue is perfect for small/medium sized weddings too – ours was 65 people and it didn’t feel oversized. You could fit many more people, as well though. Our guests are still gushing about our wedding, which we love to hear and makes us so happy. But what’s more important is that we are still gushing about our wedding, too. After all the planning and build-up to this very important day, with the support of Dan, Brigitte, and the Vine Hill and Trends teams … we were able to just kick back and savor the day, and for that we are very grateful.

I got married at Vine Hill House in August, 2023 and it was absolute perfection.
Starting with the venue itself, it is so stunning you barely need to provide decorations. The vineyard is a gorgeous backdrop and the grounds are exploding with flowers and beautiful oak trees. There is a house on site for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready in which makes it easy to organize hair and makeup. In August, the weather was perfect but they do provide heat lamps if things get chilly. The team at Vine Hill House is one of the main reasons we chose to move forward. Dan and Brigitte run a tight ship that is well organized, thoughtful, and of the highest quality. They provide day-of coordination included in the price which is an incredible value and they really took so much off my plate so I could enjoy the celebration. They have a preferred vendor list who were all top-tier, easy to work with, and super familiar with Vine Hill House weddings which made things easy on us. You need to purchase and serve 4 cases of their wine, but other than that it’s BYOB which gives you a lot of flexibility and is something you likely won’t find at a larger winery. We didn’t have a wedding planner or coordinator and we didn’t need one because of how responsive and helpful everyone was. It was truly a joy to work with the Vine Hill House team and I’m hoping all my friends get married here so I can come back again soon!

We just had our wedding at Vine Hill House in late April, and couldn’t be happier with our choice. From day one of the planning process, Dan and Brigitte were there to help us with ideas and answer any questions or concerns. They helped us plan a wedding that was perfect. On the day of the wedding, Brigitte was there to help us every step of the way, and the event went flawlessly. We cannot thank the Vine Hill House team enough for helping us achieve the wedding of our dreams. If you are looking for a wedding venue in Sonoma County in a beautiful setting, with a team that is dialed, look no further! Vine Hill House is THE BEST!

Vine Hill House was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their team were extremely well organized, seasoned professionals who helped us have a fantastic wedding with no drama. Not only did they help guide us in the planning process, but we got a ton of helpful tips and tricks too. Their preferred vendors are top quality companies. Vine Hill House has a high standard and we were not disappointed with the vendors we chose from the lists.
We had as close to a flawless wedding as one can, and we didn’t have to worry about anything because they handled everything so well. Our guests were in love with the venue and thought everything looked gorgeous (they even wanted to host their own weddings there!). We are so grateful to the Vine Hill House team for helping create the best wedding we could’ve imagined!

We couldn’t have picked a better place to get married! The property is gorgeous, and every bit of our special day was so carefully thought out and planned by the amazing team at Vine Hill House. Dan and Brigitte especially were incredibly thoughtful and had every single detail nailed during the planning process and of course on our special day. The team at Vine Hill House is truly top notch, and the space will certainly speak for itself if you find yourself lucky enough to visit. Our guests had the most incredible time and were so comfortable here. The house was perfect for getting ready during the day, the ceremony space was beautiful, and the dinner patio area was beyond charming. Dan even called in a couple favors to the weatherman to give us the most beautiful sunset. This place and these people feel very special to us. We cannot thank them enough for giving us the absolute best night of our lives!

The best part is the team–Dan and Brigitte. When we were first looking at venues, we were so impressed with how Dan runs this establishment, and has been running it for a very long time with over a thousand weddings done. Dan is a great guy and very “on it”– he has everything down to a tee, including timeline, lighting, etc. which I very much appreciated as someone who likes more structure. And Brigitte!! I am eternally grateful to her for everything she did for us. Everything went so well because of her, but more than that, she is really funny and cool to work with. She even googled best after party bars for us on a whim at night as we were leaving so we could keep the night going (and we did!). Every anxious email was responded to with ease from the team, every meeting we had I left feeling more prepared for what I needed to do to check off my planning list. I truly couldn’t say enough good things about them because they really are that incredible!

Many things drew us to choose Vine Hill House for our wedding at the end of July. We could not be more thrilled that we made that decision. Every detail, every touch, and the amazing property with the best views of vineyards and apple trees made the day magical beyond our imagination (and we have really good imaginations). Dan and his team were beyond wonderful and took care of every detail. The venue is well contained so you can easily transition from one part of the wedding to the other. They thought of everything and instinctively knew how to make every element perfect. They were a pleasure to work with and were extremely communicative and helpful through the whole process. The environment and all the little touches they have added to the atmosphere really elevated ours and our guests experience. Dan and Brigitte and the team jumped in and took over all the details so we could be fully present. They took so much stress and worry off our backs and our families so we could really enjoy the whole experience. And boy did we! It was the most magnificent and perfect day. We highly recommend Vine Hill House and Dan and his team for your wedding! We wish we could get married again tomorrow so we could do the whole thing over again at Vine Hill House! We cannot thank them enough for delivering the most memorable wedding day for us!

Picture this: you’re standing on the porch of a beautiful country house, looking out at a sprawling vineyard with a small road running through it and mountains in the distance. It is golden hour and you can see the sunbeams moving through the vines. The guests are seated at their tables on the lawn, and all of the tables are glowing with numerous little candles. The sunset then starts showing through the clouds with pink, purple and orange hues, and you get to watch the light change. The string lights have just been turned on and make the redwood grove light up where you will soon gather for your first dance. When the sun finally sets, your dance floor becomes an enchanted forest. There is even a chandelier strung between two arbors. Guests are warmed by the fire pit and stand sipping whiskey at a little bar in the trees. Finally, the stars come out. Our wedding at Vine Hill house was even better than we could have dreamed; it was colorful, vibrant, beautiful, intimate and unique. It was entirely outside but was elegant and classy. The views were spectacular and really showcased what California has to offer. I cannot recommend Vine Hill, Dan, Brigitte and the team enough. They guided us through vendor selection and made the day run seamlessly; we didn’t have to worry about anything. The venue was one of the more reasonable places cost-wise; we didn’t need a wedding planner, could buy our own alcohol and had the actual owner watching to make sure everything was perfect. All of the vendors that Dan recommends have worked there before, so they are familiar with the setting. Dan even shipped our excess alcohol back to us since we live in a different state. This is the kind of service you need for your wedding experience! You can tell that the team really loves their job and wants to please. Our wedding was absolutely perfect- thank you Vine Hill team!
