Reviews for The Vineyards
GUEST




The Vineyards was the best venue my husband and I could have chosen. The owners, Soroor and Jim, were so accommodating and organized. Our day wouldn't have gone as well if it weren't for them. If any issues came up, it was taken care of immediately. The best choice I made planning my wedding was choosing The Vineyards as my venue.

This place is breath taking, the moment we walked In we both new this was the place that we wanted to get married, it gives us chills every time we walk in. Not only did we fall in love with the venue itself, we fell in love with how amazing both Jimmy and Soroor are. We felt like we hit the jackpot with finding this place and them. They made everything run so smoothly and they were both so amazing. No matter what questions I had, and I had a lot, they were always so willing to respond and help me feel comfortable and happy with everything. Our wedding went perfect Soroor and Jimmy made sure that everything ran smoothly and that all the vendors were on track. I never new how important it was to have a coordinator at a wedding. Soroor did an amazing job. I didn't have to worry about a thing. At the end of the night She had everything packed up for my maid of honor to take home, She got everything, even the things that the guest should of taken home! The appetizers were amazing and the food was very good, everyone complimented on how good everything was. Its so important to hire a place that cares and loves what they do. You shouldn't have to worry about anything but enjoying yourself, because you are in good hands with Soroor and Jimmy!!

GUEST




Don't misread the imperfect rating... Nothing this side of heaven is perfect. having said that, our experience with The Vineyards and the entire crew was sensational all the way through. James and Sorror were attentive, helpful and even generous in making sure that our dream day was all that we desired. It is a beautiful venue and we recommend it highly to any couple looking for a natural yet elegant setting.
GUEST




The staff at The Vineyards in Simi Valley, CA are the best! We had both our ceremony & reception here - I couldn't have asked for anything better. We were given the option of having the ceremony inside or outside depending on the weather, which was a big selling point for me. The view that they have on top of the hill is unbeatable! Soroor & Jimmy totally treat you like family - they are wonderful people & run a great business. Your wedding will go by in the blink of an eye, but they are there & with you 100% of the way. My guests are still raving about their dinner - the food was fantastic! I also used the DJ that they recommended, DJ Kamayo. He was terrific! The sound system he used & the music he played was perfect. We had a great experience with everyone at The Vineyards - I wouldn't have changed a thing.
GUEST




Jimmy and Staff were amazing to work with. From start to finish they were there. They understood the look that we were trying to achieve and got it right! I would love to have another event there.
GUEST




The Vineyards is everything my husband and I had wanted for our wedding. It is the perfect mix of modern (cocktail area) and traditional (ceremony). The decor is perfect. You are able to dress it up the way you want to fit best with your wedding. The staff is out of this world. They really go out of there way to make sure your day is your day. Soroor and Jimmy the owners are the best. They are personal-able, and kind. I really liked working with them over the 10 months from when we booked the wedding. The customer service was outstanding. They email you back within the day, and really make you feel as though you are the only bride they are dealing with. You are more than a number at the Vineyards. I would not be happier having our wedding here. I would HIGHLY recommend this venue for your wedding or event!
GUEST




Fantastic wedding venue in Los Angeles!! Beautiful location, beautiful garden and patios, replete with waterfalls everwhere at this wonderful facility that can provide everything. Sunset and mountain views cannot be surpassed here. Also a great deal for the money. Multiple packages are available for the low budget or high budget. The dinner was excellent and was not a disappointment after our delicious and overwhelming tasting prior to the event.
The staff was extremely helpful from the morment we walked into their location. They were very flexible and generous. Our day was perfect because of them. My mom said the service was impeccable and she is hard to impress! We only wished that we could of made it all day event!! GREAT DAY! THANK YOU Soroor, Jimmy, Daria, and the rest of the Vineyard Staff (including the grounds keeper who gave us good advice on the decorations)!
Truly,
Noriko &...
GUEST




The Vineyards allowed us to have the wedding of our dreams. They were so helpful, accommodating, and flexible. Jimmy and Soroor treat their clients like family and stop at nothing to ensure the wedding goes as smoothly and stress-free as possible. I would highly recommend holding your wedding at the Vineyards if you want to have the perfect wedding. Here are some pictures from the wedding:

GUEST




Sooror and Jimmy are the most amazing helpful people I have ever come across. The wedding and reception were picture perfect with not one flaw. They made my wedding the most special and amazing day of my life!
GUEST




When I think back to July 1st, 2012, my wedding day at the Vineyards in Simi Valley, I could not have asked for a more perfect day. Apart from marrying the love of my life and having my family and friends there to share in our joy, the actual venue and the service was OUTSTANDING. I highly recommend this place for any event.
First of all, the staff was phenomenal, professional, friendly and completely on point. Monique and Daria made my bridesmaids and I feel completely calm, and relaxed before the ceremony as they catered to us. The owners, Soroor and Jimmy, went above and beyond for my husband and I. The place looked exquisite, pristine, and our guests were so impressed with the place, especially the service. Everything was flawless, and the day went incredibly smoothly. Keith, the awesome cook, did a stand-up job with the food!
Soroor is the absolute best (the owner and wedding coordinator). Not only is she completely experienced in the wedding business, but she has remarkable taste and connected me to the BEST vendors. She only deals with the best and you can be confident that your wedding day will be a dream come true. Throughout the entire process, she is there for you, always pleasant, and always reassuring you that everything is under control. With her, you're in good hands :)
I could not have asked for a better wedding planning experience, or a more perfect day. I am so grateful to the staff at The Vineyards for everything they did for us, and our guests. You have to see this place for yourself, and meet Jimmy and Soroor, and then you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. They go above and beyond for their clients. The Vineyards was, without question, the best choice for us.
GUEST




Everything was amazing for our event. The staff was incredibly attentive and responsive. The day seemed to go off without any issues and the crew is to thank for that. This venue worked very well for a party of our size as it allowed for guests to roam and explore. We also appreciated all the customized touches that the staff arranged for us. It really made us feel special and unique.
GUEST




I recommend having a wedding and/or reception at The Vineyards. The venue is amazing with so many different rooms to use. From the beginning, we were treated very nice and with respect. The owners worked with us and helped us create a beautiful wedding that we have received many compliments on. We had exclusive use of the venue so that enabled us to get ready there before our ceremony at the church down the street and this also allowed us to use different rooms for the cocktail hour and the dinner part. The owners did the lighting and it was perfect. Our pictures look amazing.

The Vineyards treated us like family during the entire planning process as well as during and even after our wedding. They definitely went above and beyond our expectations of any wedding venue. We always felt like we were being taken care of by people who truly cared about us and truly did their best to make our special day amazing. We had gone to visit about 20 other venues all over Los Angeles and none of them impressed us as much as the Vineyards did. The setting was beautiful, the service was great, and the flexibility in customizing our day (decor, schedule, entertainment, etc.) was easy. Most importantly, on the day of the wedding, we had anticipated that like all weddings, something would inevitably go wrong - but the Vineyards was really on top of things so any potential mishaps was dealt with and we really didn't have to worry about much at all! And thankfully the Vineyards staff was so helpful or else I know as a bride, I probably would have been frantic that day - like many other brides I've known and helped. Instead, my day was very enjoyable - thanks to the Vineyards. If I was given the chance to redo the wedding, I'd do it at the Vineyards again in a heartbeat.
GUEST




We had our wedding reception at the Vineyards and are so happy we did. Jimmy and Saroor are great! They made the planning process easier because they were always willing to take the time to sit down with us and answer our questions. They went above and beyond on the day of our wedding and made everything run smoothly. We had only one thing go wrong, our driver failed to show up at the end of the night and they offered to drive us to our hotel…that’s how great they are! Besides, Jimmy and Saroor being wonderful the venue itself is so beautiful and the food was amazing. It was the perfect place for our wedding reception.
GUEST




The Vineyards willingness to accommodate the bride and groom--no matter how challenge of the request within reason; always with a pleasant look and warm spirit!!! I was also quite impressed with how will the staff work together to get the job done and how well the staff worked with the wedding coordinator--hired by the bride. The owners truly take pride in servicing their clients with the highest of quality control and quality assurance!
GUEST




The garden ceremony sight is so beautiful and the staff is amazing, they take the best care of you and really know what theyre doing. They made our day amazing!
GUEST




We had our ceremony and reception at The Vineyards and it was amazing. The site is beautiful and the space is large enough for people to not feel crowded but small enough so that it still feels intimate (we had 165 guests). Everything was well organized and the staff were all very accommodating; you are a guest at your own wedding- it was great. Soroor constantly checked on us to make sure we had enough to eat and drink at all times and was there, no matter what we needed. Our family and friends all had a blast and enjoyed the venue and staff as well.
We went with the Sunday package so all our vendors were pre-selected and they were all great. All the vendors are used to working together so it makes it a lot easier because they know Soroor and Jimmy, as well as the venue.
Before your wedding date, there is a tasting and all the brides and grooms are invited, so it is as if you are attending a real wedding. We really enjoyed this because you start to envision how your wedding is going to be and it was a really nice thing to do during the planning process.
Brides- the room upstairs where you will get dressed is huge and it is so nice because you and your bridal party are going to need a lot of room. The room was nice and cool when we walked in and there are bathrooms up there too. We all enjoyed champagne while getting ready and then the wedding began.
A BIG thank you to all the staff at The Vineyards, especially Soroor and Daria, for making our wedding the most perfect day ever. We had the...
GUEST




I found out after the event that many of my guests got the wrong meals and that they ran out of certain dishes even though the amount of guests who actually showed up were way less than the number we counted for food. However, the event itself was perfect. The venue was gorgeous. The music was ended earlier than expected, but overall everyone had a good time and keep telling me how beautiful it was.
GUEST




We booked the Sunday package to have our ceremony and reception at The Vineyards and were completely amazed at our wedding. First, the vendors were all familiar with each other, making planning effortless. The cake, photographer, DJ, and florist, whose services were included in the package, were friendly, professional and wonderful. Their intimate knowledge of the venue allowed for everything to be perfect. Second, the wedding coordinator/owner, Soroor, was superb. She guided us throughout the planning, was extremely flexible and helpful, and was willing to do anything for us had the need arose. We had intended on an outdoor ceremony; It poured on our wedding day, and without flinching, Soroor had a back up plan for our ceremony to be held indoors, which turned out to be more beautiful than we could have imagined. To her, we came first, beyond family, parents, and the rest, and that made all the difference.
Our wedding, though a blur in our minds, went beautifully. We love this venue and would book another event in the future. The Vineyards was a little secret that we happened to come across. And we are glad we did.
GUEST




This is a wonderful venue that is the best "bang for the buck" you will find. If you sign up for their "Sunday Package" you will receive an even greater value. You will pay one price per person (less for children) and that includes the venue, catering, cocktail hour, dj, photographer, florist and cake. I only had two months to plan our wedding and I never would have pulled it off without the help of Soroor and Jimmy Campbell. They are the heart and soul of this place. It's truly a family affair. Their mom and kids work their too and the rest of their staff is beyond compare. And they are flexible. Basically anything I thought of, Soroor would make it work and she really believes the bride is always right. My circumstance was a bit unconventional because I had my daughter there with me on my big day as well as 26 other children, but we hired a few babysitters and Soroor set up a whole room especially for the kids. It all worked out perfectly and the adults as well as the kids all had a great time. I would highly recommend having your wedding or other special event at the Vineyards. You will not be sorry.
GUEST




Jimmy and Soroor are amazing. The venue is breathtaking and does not require a ton of decor as it stands on its own so beautifully. They were willing to get creative and work with our budget to make our wedding dreams a reality. I have recommended them to numerous friends and clients already. They clearly know how to throw an amazing party and I truly had the time of my life at my own wedding because of them!!!!

• MY CINDERELLA WEDDING AT THE VINEYARDS
• when my new husband, Mark (then my fiance) started discussing plans of a wedding a year ago, and we started researching on the wedding details that had to be taken care of, I was very overwhelmed. Just the thought of going through every detail possible to put it together made me very nervous & doubtful about pulling it off. Mark decided to go to the Marriot hotel in downtown L.A. & told me that's gonna be our wedding venue. Later, he introduced me to one of their sales agents but I did not exactly feel right about the place. It was a bit impersonal & very business like. Then one day, we decided to drop by a bridal expo as part of our research & saw Jimmy Campbell at one of the booths, & on the t.v. monitor by his table I saw pictures of the vineyards. The pictures of the garden with a WATERFALL background was breath taking & immediately, I knew that's where I want to get married. I called Jimmy and introduced myself again, in case he didnt remember me at the bridal expo, & asked him If I can see the place. He was very warm & friendly & was very accommodating. Somehow, I convinced my fiance to hold off on the Marriot hotel & to please give me a chance to check out the Vineyards first. Finally, at the vineyards,we were first met by the bubbly Monique, one of their coordinators,then Jimmy , then his wife Soroor. What a friendly lot! they treated us like friends & had put no pressure on anything at all. A year later, I got the WEDDING i have dreamed of since I was a little girl and I owe all these to Jimmy, Soroor, Monique, and the whole vineyards gang...from these three, down to the chefs, waiters, food servers, I met all my vendors (photographers, videographer, DJ, florist, cake , even my wedding dress) through them & they were all very professional & operated pretty much like the vineyards (warm & friendly) On my wedding day, I had never been treated like a princess. they made sure me and mark were comfortable. I didnt even have to worry about anything that day, everyone was just there to help, from fixing my cupcake wed cake ,arranging the souvenirs, providing extra venue for the bridesmaids' make up..etc.They made sure our guests were happy too.Soroor hardly ever left my side that day. It was a worry free wedding day & all I had to think of is looking pretty for my future husband. Everything was ORGANIZED ! The special part these people played on my wedding day made it the way every wedding should be....MEMORABLE & UNFORGETTABLE..Something that Mark & i will cherish for the rest of our lives! Thank you VINEYARDS!
GUEST




They have done this thousands of times and know what they are doing. If you have any questions, they are available via phone and/or email to help answer your questions, whether is it regarding the venue and catering or even referrals. The location is venue is beautiful and mostly decorated so you don't need to do much if anything at all.
GUEST




Soroor and Jimmy, were absolutely amazing! They helped make it such an incredible night! They were also flexible and worked with us to get things just the way we wanted them. Not to mention they were nice enough to provide up tequila shots before our first dance to ensure we actually danced. :) Everyone absolutely loved the venue and the service.
GUEST




In our search for wedding venues, my then fiance & I were ready to sign at the dotted line at the Calamigos in Burbank until I met my photographer at a bridal show. In looking through her picture albums, a few albums immediately caught my eye as I saw these beautiful photos with waterfalls and gardens in the background and asked her where that was. She told me she does a lot of work for The Vineyards in Simi Valley. She gave me Jimmy & Soroor's number and I called to make an appointment.
The minute I met Jimmy I felt like I had know him for years. He gave me a tour of the venue and I fell in love. The beautiful landscaped gardens, the waterfalls, the reception area and the lounge which I though was perfect for our cocktail hour. I immediately called my finance and told him we had found our wedding venue. When I initially told my fiance about it, he immediately said "no" as he didn't want our guests driving out to Simi Valley. I finally convinced him to come see it for himself before making his decision and he was happy he did. He hit it off with Jimmy and loved the facility! He loved the Starlight room where he could have a few cocktails with his groomsmen while getting ready for the big day. He also loved the fact the there was plenty of parking and that we did not have to share the venue with any other parties. When you book your venue here, you have the entire facility to yourselves. Your guests have plenty of places to take pictures and enjoy beautiful views.
We met with the chef and the food is exquisite! Our guests could not stop complimenting us on how great the food was and just how absolutely beautiful our wedding was. Throughout our entire wedding, our guests kept asking how did we find this venue? They could not believe this place existed. From the gardens, to the vineyards, to ceremony location, reception area, lounge, and gorgeous surroundings, they kept telling us this was one of the most elegent and beautiful weddings they had been to. The lounge area was perfect for our cocktail hour as we had a trio playing and with the waterfall in the backdrop, it was AWESOME!
Jimmy and Soroor are the best! Together with their staff, they take all of the stress away and their focus is for you to have the best wedding ever! From working with your own vendors or theirs, they coordinate everything from the smallest detail to make sure your wedding is flawless!
Before you decide on booking your venue elsewhere, I would highly recommend paying the Vineyards a visit and can almost guarantee your search will stop with them.
GUEST




Budget or not, call them! They are beyond great! We had our wedding there and I never had a problem or even had to worry about the the location, food, ceremony, NOTHING! The owners, Soroor and Jimmy, are super and my husband and I have had nothing but excellent comments about how gorgeous and "Hollywood" our wedding was! For food, location, ambiance, private parking, ceremony and reception, why would you fight it! Another amazing part of this location is that we have over 20 different backgrounds in our wedding pictures!! This place is the whole package, just bring your groom, guest, flowers, cake and say "I do"!
GUEST




I encourage anyone looking for a beautiful venue as well as amazing people to work with to visit The Vineyards. They took care of my husband and I like we were family and created the most magical and perfect wedding experience. It's not just a business for them, it's a lifetime friendship they cultivate within their business. Best people I've met thusfar.
GUEST




If you are a bride looking for a wedding venue, stop your search and book with the Vineyards today!
I booked my wedding date a year ahead of schedule, and for the entire year Soroor and Jimmy have been nothing short of accomodating and helpful. Everytime we went to visit, we were treated like family, and not like clients. From the beginning Soroor worked with me on my budget, my ideas, and my random requests, all with a smile on her face. She went out of her way to get me tableclothes I wanted in a different color, and made sure I was fed and happy everytime I walked through the door.
On the day of the wedding a few things went wrong, however Soroor fixed it like the pro she is, and I would have never known the difference.
I can't even begin to describe my gratitude and thanks to this amazing couple. My wedding was the most perfect day, and it was mostly thanks to them. Their level of kindness, professionalism, and overall family feel is more than I could have ever imagined, and it's what's going to make me visit them every chance I get!
Thank you again to Soroor and Jimmy. I love you guys!
GUEST




We recently had our wedding in July 2011 at The Vineyards. It was such a pleasure working with Soroor and Jimmy. They are so nice and very professional. They were always available for questions and gave us good suggestions. Whatever we needed they were always there for us whether it be a phone call or a visit. I would highly recommend The Vineyards to anyone planning a wedding. They will help plan within your budget too.
GUEST




We were so happy that we chose the Vineyards for our wedding. Jimmy and Soroor were so helpful in the entire process and the staff is so friendly and fun! It is a beautiful venue but more importantly, everyone there treats you like family which is very important.
GUEST




The team here was awesome, they bent over backwards to help us have a beautiful day!!! Soroor even helped me with my bustul. And James made sure we had everything we needed. They truly treated us like family and treated my family and guest like that as well. I love them and they will always be in my life as part of my big day. Thank you guys!!
Amy and Shaun Kibble!!
GUEST




We had an amazing time at our wedding. Everything was just the way we wanted it and beyond. Food was excellent (guests told us) and people that worked there were so friendly it made our BIG DAY that much easier to get through! Thank you Vineyards!
GUEST




Soroor, Jimmy and the staff at the Vineyards made our day incredibly special. I could not thank them enough for all their expert...well "everything". They made everything so easy for us since day 1. I will forever be in debt for all the great memories they gave my husband and I. If your looking for a place that will make everything beautiful and easy this is the place! i love the vineyards!
GUEST




I would not have wanted to make a wedding without the help of Soroor and Jimmy Campbell! My (new) daughter-in-law and I visited a number of venues before deciding to make her and my son's wedding there. Now I can truly say that it was everthing we hoped it would be. Many of the venues had a lot of rules and restrictions about what you could and could not do. Soroor and Jimmy were flexible and worked with us to make the wedding just what the bride and groom wanted. We got the Sunday package, so all of the vendors were recommended by Soroor and Jimmy, and they were all great! The place was beautiful and the food was great. And they really made it so easy. Thanks so much.
GUEST




I would highly recommend The Vineyards to anyone planning a wedding.They truly treated us like family and treated my family and guest like that as well.I encourage anyone looking for a beautiful venue as well as amazing people to work with to visit The Vineyards.
GUEST




Food was great, people where so nice, as we got ready they brought us food, drinks, music, you name it!! I dropped everything off the night of my rehersal and they set it all up. They said you are not to worry on your wedding day. Really just a beautiful place. Doesn't need much decor..LOVED IT!! LOVED THEM! Perfect Wedding I had because of them and my DJ.
GUEST




Mr. James was very helpful. Anytime I contacted him he had a response for me. Very kind and approachable.
GUEST




They get a perfect score, maybe even 110%! We did the Sunday package and you would never know it was a wedding on a budget! It was absolutely beautiful! They and all the vendors they selected for us were so wonderful and made making arrangements for our daughter from Florida so easy. The location is so inviting, beautiful and so comfortable for everyone who came. The food was wonderful, the service was beyond great. When the bride left her luggage out on the front, the wonderful assistant drove it to her hotel in Woodland Hills at midnite!! Our guests keep texting us to tell us what a wonderful wedding and we owe so much of that to Soroor, Jim and Jimmy. We chose this venue because of a referral from a bride who had just gotten married there 6 months earlier and had told us how wonderful and accommodating this family was to work with. They were absolutely awesome. We can't wait until one of our friends get's married there so we can enjoy it again.. I can not recommend The Vineyard more highly.
GUEST




I recently got married at the Vineyards and received many compliments. The place is beautiful and the customer service is excellent. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Vineyards. Jimmy, Soroor and their staff are remarkable and please to work with. Jimmy is prompt at responding and such an easy guy to work with. And Soroor is an amazing coordinator. She got everything done for me the way I wanted. My wedding was perfect! Thanks Jimmy & Soroor!
GUEST




There are not enough wonderful things I can say that capture my and my husband's love and gratitude for Jimmy and Soroor at the Vineyards. The location itself is beautiful--the pictures on their website are great. But it's a must-see in person. And, when you arrive, you are warmly greeted by Jimmy and Soroor, whom you will feel are family by the end of your event.
We looked at many other locations, from super affordable to super costly. But once we stepped foot inside the Vineyards, the others could not compare. Pocket-wise, the prices can't be beat. Between the Quality of Service you receive and all the details that are included, they are worth every penny and more.
On top of being extremely accommodating (i.e. letting us bring our own alcohol which their bartenders served and working with various meal options/allergies/dietary restrictions), their experience and genuine care for our wedding left us completely comfortable putting all of our trust in our wedding. I'm a very type A businesswoman who had many questions and many details, especially as I planned the wedding without an outside coordinator. And every time I'd talk to Jimmy or Soroor, I would feel relaxed and know that they were on top of everything and that they personally wanted to ensure that the wedding went perfectly. Soroor is an amazing day-of coordinator. Ladies, you do not need to spend extra money on a coordinator. She will work with your vendors and make sure your vision becomes a reality. Most importantly she will be honest with you if a part of your vision is not feasible or if something's just not a good idea.
The morning of the wedding, I and my bridesmaids got ready at the location, where Jimmy provided us with coffee and offered us beverages and light snacks to keep our energy levels up. After the ceremony, Soroor made sure that my husband and I actually got to eat some appetizers by brining us our own tray while we spent a few minutes alone n the Sunset View Room. And I actually got to eat my delicious meal at the reception! (By the way, the food tasting is incredible. You are served actual portions of each meal. We ended up taking a large tray of leftovers home which we thorougly enjoyed!!)
Finally, our wedding was perfect! My husband and I have not stopped receiving rave revues from the amazing location to the phenomenal appetizers and dinner to the timely service and to just how beautiful everything was. And if there were any hiccups, neither I nor anyone noticed anything--which is key.
I cannot encourage anyone enough to have their event here. In fact, I'm now planning one of my bridesmaid's Baby Shower which will be here in a few weeks! :)
GUEST




I honestly cant thank you both enough Jimmy & Soroor for everything. I know we joked that I was overly organized and particular that I would worry and want to control but after meeting You Soroor for the first time and relaizing how much alike we are and I realized that you would really be handeling every deatail of my day I knew I had Nothing to worry about at all & you eliminated so many fears & nerves... You guys made my wedding the most beautiful day for me & my family... My family and friends are still talking about it. My parents couldn't have been happier & more pleased.. You helped me from the first walk through a year ago up until every detail the day of! You replied to every email every phone call every question I had that I probably asked you twice!! I don't know where to start or if I can Thank you for every detail. Where do I start. The week of my wedding allowing me to bring you everything 4 days prior was such a little detail but so appreciated by a bride like myself.. You set up the head table, place card table, favors, the cake table, the cocktail hour just perfect & gorgeous! you set up everything, the day of I had nothing to worry about knowing it was in your hands.My florist loved working with you both and complimented you greatly. My photographer also has worked with you before and couldn't say more about the both of you. While we took our pictures not just your staff but the both of you were out there bring appetizers and drinks and asking what we need. your staff was amazing and so helpful. Jimmy bringing us in the golf cart for pictures and Soroor helping with pictures in the room, it was so helpful. The reception was gorgeous and everyone was amazed by the room and the lights and the just the entire set up. The buffet was amazing. we were nervous because many wedding have had horrible food that we have attended. The buffet was set up absolutely gorgeous and never ran low it was constantly being filled. The staff helped walked with myself & Carlos and even made our plates. The chicken was the best we have ever had. All night I heard different people commenting about the salad or Tri-tip or how delicious it was. My parents were so proud to have such a gorgeous wedding for me and having all the guests compliment them all night. You both were there in the room the entire night. asking guests what they need bringing my bridal party and parents drinks and just over seeing every detail! I cant thank you enough. It is one thing to have a beautiful venue as the Vineyards but to have the kindness and dedication to each wedding that the both of you have is what makes a place beautiful and what is important.. My wedding was perfect and had not one thing that I would do differently and I owe it to the both of you.
GUEST




I First off have to say that Soroor is the best! Anybody getting this venue is so lucky to work with her and the whole team! They made my wedding day PERFECT and I mean PERFECT, not one glitch! Everything was gorgeous and anything I needed or wanted, i had! They really are the easiest and sweetest people to work with! When I started looking for wedding venues, I was on a budget, and i found nothing in my budget! I was really frustrated, then i happened to come across The Vineyards, once I saw the place, I didn't care how much it was, I just wanted it soo bad! Turned out, it was the least expensive place by far! They dont charge you all these hiddeen fees, and sites fees, etc. They were soo accommodating with all my needs and wants and never had an issue with one thing! They took my vision and made it perfect! The Vineyards is so gorgeous as well! You wouldn't think that something is Simi Valley could be that beautiful, but it really is. They have such greenery and i absolutely loved the waterfalls! Our reception room had more of a club feel to it, and that was exactly what i was going for! Really, everything was PERFECT! The food was amazing, I mean yummmmmmy! I scarffed it down and had seconds! If you want a perfect wedding, I recommend having it at here! There really was not one thing i could say bad about this place, not even one thing they could improve on! They say your wedding day is suppose to be the best day of your life, and thanks to The Vineyards and everyone involved, it was the BEST and most PERFECT day of my life!!!
GUEST




I cannot rave highly enough about this wedding planning power-pair Jimmy and Soroor. My wedding reception was spectacular, the food divine, and they put great energy and thought into adapting their grounds to our own personal vision of our perfect wedding. There is nothing generic, no corners cut, and they really, truly care.
The only thing they couldn't do is stop the rain from pouring on our outdoor wedding reception. But when the skies opened up just as guests were arriving, Jimmy and Soroor and their efficient and professional team performed a miracle, and transformed our outdoor event to a lovely indoor ballroom event. They did it seamlessly, graciously, (best of all) dryly!
Jimmy will make the process of planning a wedding great fun and low-stress, and Soroor will make it elegant and get every detail right. A match made in heaven, as far as I'm concerned.
GUEST




Soroor and the entire crew at the Vineyards were AMAZING throughout all of our planning! We had an AMAZING night and our guests are still commenting on what a great party it was! I even heard one guest say it was the BEST wedding meal they have ever had, and I have to agree! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
GUEST




Our wedding day was absolutely perfect!!! Jimmy and Soroor are so wonderful and were so patient with us. The venue is stunning. We used the garden for portraits, the rock wall for our ceremony, the Mountain View room for cocktail hour, and the Grand View room for the reception. In addition, the sunset room was a perfect location for me, the bride, to get ready.
From the time I arrived Soroor's staff was waiting on me hand and foot. The whole event went so smoothly and our family and friends couldn't stop talking about the venue, the food, and the wonderful staff.
In addition, all of our vendors were recommended by Soroor and they were all amazing.

This was all part of the "Sunday" package which I also highly recommend. We set our wedding date 3 months before the event and I wasn't sure if I/we could pull it off. Soroor made it so easy!!
Thank you!!
GUEST




I cannot say enough great things about The Vineyards! We are so fortunate that they still had our date available when we first met with them. Your venue is probably the biggest decision through your wedding planning process and if you book with The Vineyards, trust me, the rest of your planning will be that much easier!
Soroor, Jimmy, and their entire staff are THE most professional, caring, and attentive people. From the moment you meet them until after the wedding! They take you in like family and give you the personal attention you want. Soroor has been in the wedding industry for a very long time and with that comes A LOT of experience and connections. If you want something, I am most certain you can get it through her and if not, she will know someone that can make it happen!
First of all, the property is breathtaking and the decor is lovely. I didn't have to do much with decorations because they pretty much had it the way we liked it. This saved money and was hassle-free.
I was so pleased with how detailed the staff was on our wedding day. I don't drink alcohol and every single waiter/waitress remembered and would refill my champagne glass with ginger ale (and whisper to me to let me know which glass was ginger ale) before each toast. HOW MUCH MORE PERSONAL CAN YOU GET?! That is awesome! They constantly checked up on me and made sure I ate/snacked/drank fluids.
I can't recommend The Vineyards enough. You definitely get your money's worth. The service is impeccable and 5.0s is just not high enough.
Thank you to Soroor, Jimmy, and their staff for being so professional yet making us feel like family all at the same time! I need to find another reason to have them host another event for us! ;)
GUEST




It's funny because since our wedding day I think about our venue often. I truly felt a connection to the entire staff at The Vineyards and I cannot thank them enough for such a wonderful experience. As a young girl I imagined getting married in a fairytale setting and the moment we entered the venue I knew my dreams had come true. From the hospitality to to the food, every detail was covered beautifully.
As my husband and I embark on a new chapter in our lives of becoming parents we will never forget the first chapter, the one where The Vineyards left many memories in our hearts. Thank you to the entire staff for making a lasting impression.

Our wedding at The Vineyards--and the months, weeks, and days leading up to it--was exceptional thanks to Sorror and Jimmy (the owners) and their incredible team. They worked tirelessly to make sure every detail was perfect, and the day was exactly what we envisioned. They helped us come up with a theme and executed it flawlessly. They were always available to us, and truly went above and beyond in every way possible. The venue is breathtakingly beautiful, and the food was delicious. We had our ceremony in front of the rock waterfall at sunset, and it was just beautiful. The ballroom is stunning and elegant, and a great party space. If we had it to do over again, we wouldn't change a thing. Honestly, couldn't recommend The Vineyards more!!
GUEST




We would recommend this venue for anyone and for any occassion. This was our choice for our daughter's wedding, and it was perfect. The staff was more than attentive, and there were personal touches that were unexpected, and yet very appreciated. We never had to ask for anything, they anticipated our every desire. Soroor and Jimmy were the BEST!!!! If you want your wedding to go off without a hitch, and with little to no stress on the day of your event.....you MUST book the VINEYARD today!!! You will not be disappointed!!! It was a fairytale come true!!
GUEST




We booked The Vineyards for our wedding because of pricing, location, referral, service, and especially because of Soroor and Jimmy! During our entire wedding planning process, we met with them countless times (even with our DJ and MC). Jimmy and Soroor made every single one of our requests leading up to the wedding and on the wedding day. Even though there was unexpected rain on our wedding day, Soroor made sure everyone got parasols (which were initially provided for the sun) and made sure the important things were covered. They are truly such great people to work with!
The Vineyards is a beautiful place to have a ceremony and reception (Grand View Room) for a large party (we had about 170 guests). We were able to have up to 14 people at the head table on stage that Jimmy had made! We loved the food tasting and chose delicious hors d'oeuvres and entrees for dinner. The servers and bartenders were always helpful and attentive to our needs.
Our wedding day was an amazing day at The Vineyards!
GUEST




Soroor and the team at the Vineyards is the best. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect place to have my wedding at.
Great service, great venue - great everything!!
GUEST




We got married here June 2010. The Vineyards was one of the most beautiful and tranquil locations for a wedding. The minute we saw the place we fell in love. There was more than one option to choose in locations for the ceremony and reception. The landscape had stunning natural beauty and felt far away from the city. And to make this experience amazing were Jimmy and his wife Soroor. They were incredible! They honestly made the wedding the perfect day that it was. They were so accommodating and flexiible. They were so involved and personal that it felt like they were close friends. They seemed to really care about making this wedding special and lovely. And it was! They worked with us on everything! And they thought of everything. There was never any "no" answers. They pretty much figured out a way to do everything we hoped for. They were also so pleasant and friendly to the guests...everyone loved having them there as well. I wouldn't have changed anything about this place. It is breathtakingly beautiful and the staff is very wonderful to deal with. Also, the food was AMAZING! I have nothing bad to say about The Vineyards and would recommend it to ANYONE and EVERYONE getting married! Would love if this place was also a bed and breakfast!
GUEST




If anything goes wrong, don't worry! Jimmy and Soroor will have a solution for you immediately. The staff was amazing. Our clergy was late and Soroor had a back up plan immediately. We could not have asked for a better coordinator. We loved that their whole family was involed in running the show. The servers were all professional and courteous. They all helped create the best day of our lives.
GUEST




Everything went extremely well! Only a few complaints about food being cold but otherwise very good. The staff is very professional and flexible about meeting a few times before the wedding to get everything just right. They also had a calming effect which made the night much easier. Thanks a lot and we'll be recommending the Vineyards.
GUEST




My husband was very much not interested in wedding planning. Yet, when we were checking out the Vineyards, he got very excited. He loved the location and the people there! I was shocked that he actually had an opinion. He usually only likes dirt bikes and fishing. I booked that day.
I could not be more pleased with Soroor and James Campbell at the Vineyards. They are a perfect mix of professional and personal. I have been to many weddings and the venues treat them like a production line. My wedding was nothing like that at all. The Vineyards was very flexible and allowed me to make my own wedding timeline. They referred excellent vendors and helped me with everything from music selection to picking linens. They have wonderful wedding coordinators that pay attention to every detail.
As for the look of the Vineyards, breath-taking. It is so pretty that I hardly had to decorate which helped my budget. I only added simple table centerpieces.
And the food, every one of my guests told me later how impressed they were with the food. It was excellent and large portions. The best wedding food I have ever had.
Overall, I was the happiest bride. It was perfect!
GUEST




I highly recommend The Vineyards in Simi Valley, it is amazing! I cannot thank Jimmy and Soroor enough for making my little girls wedding magical. I had never hosted a wedding of that size before and could not have accomplished it without the expert advice of Soroor and the wonderful wine choices of Jimmy's. They truly make you feel like family from the first meeting to the last "I do". The staff is just wonderful. I would surely recommend this venue to all my friends and will definitely visit them again in the future.
Vendor response to review
Thank you so much for your kind words. Jimmy and I loved working with you and loved sharing your daughter's day with you. We thank you for allowing us to host this day for you and your family.
GUEST




We were very well taken care of. The guests had a great time, they loved the venue, as well as the food. We could not have asked to be better taken care of.
GUEST




Jim and Soroor Campbell, the owners of the Vineyards, are fantastic people. I might be one of the most anal brides to have come through their doors, and for not even a second did I feel like they couldn't handle my ideas or requests. I look back on my wedding planning experience and continue to wonder how i would have achieved all that I dreamed for on my wedding day without the professional, personable, and oh-so accomodating Jim and Soroor.
Jim and Saroor are without a doubt the most attentive, responsive, and innovative professionals/ vendors I have had the great pleasure of doing business with. I still get comments to this day from guests that were at our wedding about how amazing the food was, how seamless the service flowed, and how fun, classy, and unique the vibe of The Vineyards is.
Soroor is a fantastic coordinator! Somehow she is able to be in three places at once and yet is always 100% focused. I am still amazed with her, and always will be. She was like my right and left hands that day! From the very first linen choosing, to the moment our limousine carried my husband and I way at the end of our wedding night, Soroor was there to make sure we didnt need to worry about a thing. Most professionals will use that statement very loosly and try to sell you on the thought that "you will never have to worry about anything", but this was the real deal. I would URGE any bride who wants to feel like the only bride with the only wedding that The Vineyards will be working with to accept the great pleasure of letting The Vineyards take your breath away. You couldn't regret a single part of the experience with them, you could only thank yourself and be proud of yourself for making the decision to come see them in the first place.

The staff was fantastic and more than accommodating! Highly recommended!
The Grand View room was spectacular, the outside waterfalls were great.
The Sunset view room was a great place to get ready away from all the guests.
The Mountain view room/deck was a perfect spot for the cocktail hour.
GUEST




I recently got married at the Vineyards and had a great wedding. You really get what you pay for. The Staff there is always willing and ready to answer any questions that you may have. The Venue is beautiful there are so many areas to take pictures and the sunset's at the Vineyards are the best. I am really happy and satisfied with the them. I would strongly suggest people take the time and visit the Vineyards they wont ever regret it. As a guy usually we really don't pay attention to many stuff, but I must say at the vineyards you can definitely feel the difference the staff there really cares and they are willing to help you with anything! It also helps that the food was DELICIOUS! We really enjoyed our wedding at The Vineyards.
GUEST




First of all let me begin with saying that I could not be more happier and grateful to The Vineyards, Simi Valley. Their whole crew was amazing they are very wonderful people they are with you from begining to end I really have grown to love them especialy Sorror and Jimmy which I hope you will all one day meet. They work with you to fit your needs. They help make your dreams come true, they are very professional and love what they do which is what I think many brides are looking for. When you are looking for a venue you want a place where everyone is friendly, helpful, trustworthy, responsible and well someone that on that special day will be there to help with any last minute things. I can honestly say The Vineyards is that place! I celebrated my mother's birthday there as well before my wedding and really they are amazing! Very beautiful venue, and they really help make the planning less stressfull. I would strongly recommend this venue I am really satisfied!

The Vineyards was great! Soroor and Jimmy were sooooooo great the day of and our wedding went off without any problems or concerns. I had been told over and over that don't expect your wedding day to be perfect... expect something to go wrong or not as planned...but that wasn't the case at The Vineyards. I can honestly say that NOTHING went wrong at our wedding. Everything flowed great thanks to Soroor & Jimmy! We love you guys! - Aniessa & Jim
GUEST




This is a great place for a reception. Lots of room, the chance to taste the menu and meet vendors and see the variety of choices available if not using any outside vendors. Choice of rooms for reception depending on size of group. Nice setting, nice rooms, friendly staff, good price for wedding block of rooms. I am so thankful that I chose them for our location. They continuously put my mind at ease & helped give me the wedding I had always dreamt of!
GUEST




If you want a flawless, beautiful, dream-come-ture wedding, THE VINEYARDS in Simi Valley is the place! I would really love to give them 10's in every category above because that would better reflect our experience at this venue. Some of our favorite characteristics of this venue that you won't find anywhere else are professional, creative, and flexible coordinators, amazing food with flexible menu choices (we had an Italian food buffet that our guests are still talking about), a chocolate fountain with a palm tree fruit display that is delicious and looks great in pictures, a venue with multiple areas to customize your special day, and very little decorating is needed because The Vineyards is so beautiful to begin with. I would recommend this venue to any one and my husband, family, and I could not have asked for a more perfect day!
GUEST




I searched for months to find a place like this and a place that understands what a bride is going through in this economy. They were amazing and really worked with us to make our night amazing and unforgettable! And it turned out so beautiful. The staff was so great as well and everyone did a fabulous job. I can't even tell you how many people came up to me that night and said it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Thank you Vinyards!!!!!!
GUEST




I could not have asked for a better venue! Aside from the fact that the setting is simply beautiful, the staff routinely went above and beyond in accomodating my needs and requests! Soroor, Jimmy & the rest of the Vineyards staff made the whole day as stress-free as a wedding could possibly be. My guests could not stop telling me how amazing the wedding & reception were and they LOVED the food, which was provided by The Vineyards kitchen staff. Every detail was taken care of... and then some! It's hard for me to accurately describe just how wonderful it all was. All I can say is that if I had the chance to do it all over again and changed everything else about the wedding/reception I would still choose The Vineyards as my venue! Highly, highly recommended! You will not be disappointed!
GUEST




Jimmy and Soroor are professional and friendly.They did a magnificent job with our wedding.Thank you very much.
GUEST




Jimmy and Soroor are the BEST! Although they do many weddings every year, they completely understand that each wedding needs to be special and they go out of their way to make sure that happens.
We started working with Jimmy the about a year before our November 2009 wedding for 220 guests. He was very nice, responsive, accommodating, helpful, etc. However, as soon as we left the deposit, he turned up his niceness even more!
If you want something, just ask. If they can't do it for you, they will nicely explain why and suggest other methods.
The location is beautiful, it speaks for itself. In fact, it was the ONLY site that we visited because we knew it was perfect.
The wedding was obviously memorable for us, however what we wanted to do was make it stand out so our guests will REMEMBER OURS, and the feedback has simply been INSANE!!!
(One of the many examples; my Cousin's post on Facebook just moments ago - "Thanks to Tom and Mayura, I'm having weekend withdrawls. I personally didn't want the weekend to end...Best wedding ever! Congrats guys! We love you very much!")
He's a big time partier that just got engaged and told May that we have set the bar so high for future weddings, he's got a lot of work to do. Enough said???
Jimmy and Soroor played instrumental rolls in the biggest night of our lives and we can't say, 'Thank You' enough times.
GUEST




I just had my wedding last month and I couldn't be more thrilled about choosing The Vineyards to have my ceremony and reception there. The place was absolutely beautiful and the staff especially Jimmy, Soroor, and Sharon, were absolutely amazing! They were so friendly, helpful, and accommodating, and made sure everything went smoothly. The appetizers and dinner were so delicious (not the usual mediocre wedding food) and the service was exceptional. After the ceremony, they even brought some champagne and appetizers for the wedding party while we were waiting to take more pictures. I had the wedding of my dreams and it wouldn't have been so perfect without the wonderful staff at The Vineyards. I cannot rave enough about this place and its staff. If you want the wedding of your dreams at a beautiful venue you should choose The Vineyards. You won't be disappointed!
GUEST




I have to say, if it wasn't for The Vineyards, Jimmy & Soroor (the management team) and the staff, our wedding wouldn't have been as beautiful and memorable as it was. My Fiance and I were on a extremly tight budget. It was so tight that many places told us they couldn't work with us. Not Jimmy and Soroor. They were more than willing to work with us and presented us with various options. The entire Vineyards staff treated us as if we were family, which made our experience that much better. I highly recommend this venue.

Soroor, Jimmy, and Jennifer were absolutely amazing! We were looking for a reasonably priced venue, for a small wedding. It turned out to be very large (it's true that this place holds a ton of people!). Not only were we very happy with the sites available, but when practically all of the details of our event changed very close to the wedding, they were beyond accomadating and incredibly supportive. I had a high opinion of The Vineyards when we booked it, but an even higher opinion of the venue and especially the staff as we got the opportunity to work with them and understand what good and caring people they are in addition to being good business people. I highly recommend this venue, and especially the people that have been selected to represent it.
GUEST




Beautiful place, very nice people and easy to work with.

GUEST




This is a nice sized place,and the people working here are very professional.
I have had the pleasure of photographing events at The Vineyards many times. Soroor, Jimmy and their staff take excellent care of their clients in every way, going above and beyond to create a wonderful celebration.
The venue is beautiful, a large fire pit greets guests at the entrance, there are two outdoor ceremony areas, one a large patio and the other a garden setting.
The indoor dining room features incredible sunset views with floor to ceiling glass windows, a separate chic all white room with a contemporary lounge feeling for cocktail hour and millions of sparkling twinkle lights everywhere on the large property.
The food is incredible, the staff professional, experienced and warm hearted, they will work with you to create the wedding or special event of your dreams .
I highly recommend visiting to tour The Vineyards and discover a hidden gem for your special day!

I have had the pleasure to work with Soroor and Jimmy at THE VINEYARDS and I have to say how impressed I am with their service. They always welcome you with a smile. They always have something nice and caring to say. In this day and age where service with a smile is such a rarity, it's great to know there are still wonderful service providers in the wedding industry. The Vineyards is one of my favorite locations to perform. They have multiple ceremony sites and different reception halls for your wedding reception, so you can choose the one that truly fits your lifestyle. I'm truly thankful to work with them.
WOW!!! What a cool venue. I love it when a couple contacts us and says Our Wedding is at the Vineyards. The staff is awesome and the venue is picture perfect.
Love the professional service they offer. They are always on top of every detail. Not only do they make sure every invite has a wonderful time they also make us vendors feel at home. We have worked with many venues but The Vineyards by far surpass the quality of service a client deserves and looks for when they host an event. Suru you are the best!
