We loved our cakes. Laurie made our wedding and groom's cake. I loved the finished product. Simple yet different. Laurie was so easy to work with and brought our vision to life beautifully. For quality and price, Laurie can't be beat.

Denon & Doyle has got to be the most professional and organized DJ operation out there. We were so impressed by their showcase and website, that we didn't waste too much time searching for a DJ. They're also reasonably priced. We knew they'd be perfect and they didn't disappoint. They're so organized and have a wonderful online wedding planner. Our DJ was Mark Haggerty and he was perfect. He edited songs for us, set up and brokedown our video presentation, and played exactly what we asked for. D & D is very respectful to provide the entertainment that you want. They provide you with every opportunity to tell them what you want and then execute that vision. I only wish we'd had more time for dancing!

I love this place! I bought my dress here when they had a Monique Lhuillier trunk show. I worked with Shannon, who is fabulous! She's very honest and makes sure that you end up in the most flattering dress for your body. They also did my alterations which came out beautifully. They went the extra mile and pressed my veil for me (that I borrowed from a friend) as well as my sashes. Shannon let me know that I could buy a sash at the Ribbonaire in San Francisco for $10 that would look exactly like the one Monique Lhuillier sells for $200. Now that's service!

I LOVE Anita!! If you're getting married in wine country and have a decent budget, then you MUST meet with Anita. I promise you won't be sorry. Anita was the most organized of all of the vendors we met. She has you complete a questionnaire before meeting, so that when you do she already has a good feel for what you like. Her proposal was about 12 pages long and so incredibly detailed. We knew exactly what our décor and flowers would look like, which gave me great peace of mind. But she still exceeded our expectations. Our wedding flowers blew my mind! They were everything I wanted and more. I can't wait to see more pictures so I can take it all in. Everything was stunning and created exactly the ambiance I wanted. A++++

BEST. PHOTOGRAPHER. EVER. Is it weird that I wanted to hang out with my photographer at my wedding as much as I did with my life long friends? I love Jen and her assistant, Kim. When searching for a photographer it's very important to find someone who you like personally. They're going to be with you during some of the most intimate times of your day (getting dressed, seeing your hubby for the first time, being w/your hubby right after the ceremony). When we met with Jen we knew we'd found the right person. She's so sweet and funny and easy to be with, as is Kim. She was a bit out of our budget, but we're so happy we sprung for her and know we won't regret our choice. Our e-pic session was so fun and we loved the results. Besides being such a great person, she's truly a beautiful artist. Her work is incredible and speaks for itself. She's a photojournalist and has an amazing eye for capturing just the right moments. She doesn't make you hold silly poses and doesn't try to create a moment. She just captures it as it happens allowing you to enjoy your day. I'm confident we will love our photos. I give her my highest recommendation!

Viansa exceeded our expectations in every way. If you are a looking for a classic wine country wedding, look no further! We got married in their wine cellar (so romantic), had our cocktail hour in their tasting room, and the reception in their tent. It was a challenge finding a venue in Wine Country that could accommodate an indoor ceremony and reception. Most wineries have outdoor ceremony space, but since our wedding was in December that wouldn't do. We were thrilled to find Viansa. One of the benefits of going with Viansa is that they provide a day of coordinator. We were lucky enough to work with Brooke Altman who has been there for years. Brooke is so professional and responded quickly to each email we sent. Our wedding had several details and moving parts and Brooke executed each one flawlessly. Because of her calm personality and organizational skills, we could relax on the day of the wedding and feel confident that she would bring our vision to life. The entire Viansa staff was wonderful. So professional and friendly. They added to the joy of our day! The food and wine was also exceptional. We received so many compliments on the beauty of the location, the quality of food and wine and the friendliness of the staff. We were so proud to bring our family and friends to Viansa and know that it was a memorable experience for them all.

My only complaint about Viansa is that their weddings are in 5 hour blocks. Weddings begin there at 6 pm since they are open to the public until 5 pm. They end at 11 pm. If you have a longer ceremony like we did then there isn't much time for dancing once dinner and toasts are over. They do give you the option to extend the reception, which is nice, but it costs a small fortune. We paid the fee to get an extra 30 minutes, but it still wasn't enough. My only regret about our entire wedding was that it wasn't longer. Otherwise, I would give Viansa an A+.
