Vine Hill House

We chose our wedding location in Sebastopol as it was an area we often visited from East Bay and enjoyed with our local friends; and we wanted to share it with our “mostly out-of-town guests.
The location was spectacular. The event setting is an old apple orchard with a beautiful *** home that was the childhood house of the owner, Dan.
The surrounding area is now owned by Gallo and we were surrounded by fields of grapes.
While not acting as a real wedding planner (something we did not want anyway); Dan WAS owner, adviser and wedding day manager, as well as the one who made sure no small details were missed.
He was strong without being too pushy and provided recommendations for caterers, photographers, florists, music, virtually anything we needed.
We used many of his recommendations and were thrilled with every choice.
We purposely chose a night with a full moon and watching it rise out of the vineyards on a warm August night made the night all the more magical
If you want to really want a beautiful and very personal wedding; but want enough guidance to keep out of trouble, Vine Hill House and Dan O’Connell make a great...

Our wedding at Vine Hill House was amazing!! Our friends and family left saying it was a fairytale wedding in an amazing location. The location of VHH is absolutely stunning. The venue has a view of the rolling vineyards, a reservoir in the distance and a dirt road that evokes the feeling of a Tuscan setting. Dan and Jan take great pride in their venue which is reflected through the well maintained property including, gorgeous landscaping, renovated bathrooms, and a new and improved stone dance floor.

We booked VHH about 18 months prior to the wedding date and visited many times. Dan and Jan were very hospitable and welcomed us on many occasions as we brought our parents to see the venue. They are extremely organized and reliable and take care of everything, including table and chairs, parking lot attendants, gas heaters for the evening, and coordinating with the vendors the day of the wedding to make sure that everything is seamless and easy for the bride and the groom. They make sure that the wedding will be flawless and classy. Also, Vine Hill House has great value and is less expensive than similar locations in the area.

The day of the wedding we arrived at 10am and spent the morning getting ready in the house. Dan and Jan encouraged us to make use of the house all day and have our hair and make-up done right there. They wanted us to feel relaxed and comfortable all day. I've heard stories about people being extremely stressed the day of their wedding, but being at Vine Hill House, with Dan and Jan taking care of everything I was not stressed at all. It was fun to be at the house all day and to watch the preparations unfold.

Getting married at VHH not only offers a beautiful venue, but also Dan's expertise gained from coordinating hundreds of weddings. He uses his expertise to help you plan a classy, seamless event. Even though Dan knows what works well, and what doesn't work, he was willing to make modifications to help accommodate our vision for the day. For example, Dan did not recommend doing a champagne toast at the time I wanted to because he said in his experience it's hard to get everyone attention immediately following the ceremony. However, it was really important to me that we do our toast then, so Dan worked with the caterer and the DJ to take extra precautions so that the timing of the toast would work well. Dan also offered advise on things like how much red and white wine to buy and wedding tipping etiquette.

Dan also did a fantastic job coordinating our rehearsal. All our family members were extremely impressed by the organization and attention to detail at the rehearsal and everyone said they had never been to such a helpful rehearsal.

I cannot say enough good things about Dan and Jan at Vine Hill House. If I were to do the whole thing all over again I would without a doubt do it at Vine Hill House.

Vine Hill House is AMAZING! I kept my wedding to 75 guests and it was the most perfect venue. The views are stunning. The owners, Dan and Jan, are 100% helpful and take care of every detail before and during your wedding. I can't say enough about this place; it's phenomenal!

Vine Hill House was amazing! If you are getting married here, spend the night at the house with your bridesmaids--the outdoor spa is relaxing and it's nice to wake up in the morning already at the venue!

If you're interested in doing a winery wedding, DEFINITELY think about having it at Vine Hill House. It really has all the pieces of a winery wedding that you could ask for - a great view of the valley and luscious vineyards that set a wonderful and relaxing mood for our wedding. Vine Hill had great service and provided everything we needed - valet parking, a day of coordinator, and a nice house for me and my BMs to get ready in. We didn't have to do much work on the decor as the tables and chairs they had turned out to be very nice already. Everyone had a great time at the wedding. We didn't have many dancers, but everyone really enjoyed the atmosphere of the winery. It was beautiful all around and everyone at the winery was a pleasure to work with.

This is a gorgeous, family-run vineyard/apple orchard. Casually elegant with amazing views and intimate, romantic and lush landscaping. We loved getting married here!

This venue is located on a private estate overlooking exquisitely manicured vineyards. The proprietors are very accomodating and see to every detail with a kind heart. By far one of my favorite spots in all of the North Bay counties of Napa and Sonoma!

Vine Hill House is easily one of my favorite venues in this area. It has an incredible view and is in a beautiful location! Plus, they provide tables & chairs, which saves brides & grooms a lot of money on rentals. Dan and Jan are so easy to work with, and I highly recommend this incredible spot!

Working with Dan and Jan at Vine Hill House is always a pleasure. The garden wedding site is personal, quiet and romantic. Vine Hill House also has fabulous views across vineyards, the Santa Rosa valley and to Mt. St. Helena. On late summer afternoons the site is protected from the scorching sun's rays and your guests will enjoy the spectacular view during the ceremony and on into the reception and dancing.

Right around the corner from us! We love to work local and this venue is gorgeous and very sweet. The gardens are spectacular.
