I would highly recommend selecting Léal Vineyards for your venue - an all-inclusive dream! They take care of everything - the food, alcohol, decor, florals, rentals, DJ... it was such a stress-saver. We rented the Estate Homes as well, and was able to provide accommodations for us, our parents, and our entire wedding party on-site. Our coordinator, Melissa, was incredibly helpful and responsive. I felt like I could customize everything the way I wanted, and was not limited in my options (as can be the reputation for \"all inclusive\" venues). The wedding day went off without a hitch, and our guests are still talking about how amazing, fun, and smooth our wedding was!

Léal is a stunning, one stop shop for your wedding that I couldn't recommend more! I highly suggest renting the estate homes as well. It was nice to have a place for our friends and family to be with us the day before and day of the wedding. Rachel and Nicole beautifully executed our vision. Everything was organized, the decor and flowers were exquisite, the food was delicious, and our guests truly enjoyed themselves. We were so spoiled by the staff, we did not have to lift a finger! It was truly so easy and magical!

Leal is such a beautiful venue with an amazing team that really does make the planning process so easy! I kept wondering if I was forgetting something because it felt as though I wasn’t doing enough. But they just take care of practically everything! I got married at the Olea venue and it was absolutely gorgeous! The team at Leal really focuses on working with the bride and groom every step of the way.

I truly cannot say enough about how amazing Leal was to work with. There were several times throughout the wedding planning process where I thought to myself \"I thought wedding planning was supposed to be stressful...?\" and the reason I was afforded the opportunity to have a stress-free planning experience was because of all the lovely ladies at Leal. Erin and Rachel were amazing to work with - professional every step of the way and so patient with my millions of questions. On the wedding day, Erin's guidance as our coordinator ensured that everything went as smoothly as possible. She was just so reassuring and sweet - especially when I (as the bride) was a nervous wreck! Communications were always timely and consistent - Aisle Planner was a great tool to help keep us organized. Leal ensured that our spring wedding at Hacienda was everything I'd ever dreamed of!

Rachel and Erin were the absolute best wedding coordinators in the game. We had an amazing planning process and had all of our questions answered in a timely manner. Leal and the team made planning so easy since they have caterers, bar tenders, decorations, floral, etc. all in house and made it so we didn't have to work with dozens of contacts. The day of the wedding was THE best day ever! Rachel was by our sides the entire time and she paid attention to every single detail there was. She also gave my parents everything at the end of the night so we didn't have to worry about anything, including my bouquet, shoes, baked goods, which we forgot about with everything going on.You really get what you pay for, so worth having Leal as your venue!!

Erin, Monica, and the Léal Team were amazing. Super smooth communication from email to day of. Erin is brilliant, beyond helpful and super sweet. The venue speaks for itself. It is immaculate from the estate homes on the property to the pond, barrel room, and expansive views. There are no ugly corners. The food was some of the tastiest I've had! Everything was so smooth and relaxing. I cannot wait for another event here!

I recently had my wedding reception at Olea on 10/15/2020. The venue was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!! From the moment we booked our date at the venue, our experience has been wonderful. Christina (our coordinator) is so sweet and truly the best. Day of my wedding she made sure myself, my husband and my photographer were hydrated while we were rooming around the venue taking pictures. And SHE was also riding us around in a golf cart. She is amazing! I definitely felt very special on my wedding day. My decorations was exactly what I wanted. Nicole and her team did an great job. If your looking for a wedding venue don't look any further. Leal Vineyard has multiple areas for you to choose from to get married or to have your reception. I highly recommend this venue!

Hacienda de Léal was my dream wedding venue from the beginning, bc of their amazing olive trees with lights. From start to finish the team went above and beyond for me and my family to have our dreams come true! Christina was our ANGEL!! She truly deserves the highest recognition her dedication and true care for my fiancé and I. She made sure we were happy and above all stress free. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience! Our wedding was Sunday 9/27/20, one of the hottest days, but everything was flawless! The decor done by Nicole and her talented team left me in tears walking down the isle. Even the venue manager Luis went out of his way to get my family umbrellas to fight the sun. The food was incredible, people wanted seconds! Sergio, our DJ incorporated both of our cultures to make our night an unforgettable party. We are still speechless with the hotels VIP service, catering to our every need! We can't wait to plan our next event with this amazing team just to see them all again!! We love them all like family!

I got married at Leal earlier this month (during Covid) and our wedding turned out BEAUTIFUL (thanks to Nicole & her design team), and everything ran smoothly, thanks to Christina & Ayumi! Christina and her team helped take care of all of the details, including all of the additional elements related to social distancing, and all of our guests felt safe and enjoyed themselves. Anything that you asked of them, they took care of, which we really appreciated when trying to juggle so many things on our wedding day. I also highly recommend renting the Estate Homes on the property, as they host your rehearsal dinner and it is a great place to get ready & take photos the day of the wedding. Overall, all of the departments at Leal were very helpful & responsive throughout the wedding planning process, and even with having to postpone once due to Covid, Erin & Rachel helped us to find a new date that worked for us, since we didn't want to wait until next year to get married. We are very happy with our decision to get married at Leal and would highly recommend this wedding venue!

I was fortunate enough to photograph a wedding at Leal Vineyards at Olea. The coordinators Christina & Ayumi are absolutely amazing never missing a beat. They made the whole day go so smoothly, so that the bride and groom could fully enjoy their wedding day. They went the extra mile and would check in with the bride, groom, guest, and even me to make sure we were doing good through out the whole day. Christina personally drove me around with the bride and groom to the best locations around the property and made the experience for not just me but the bride and groom so easy. If you are looking for a place that will go above and beyond to make sure you day is planned out to the very last detail and executed just how you want it I would recommend you look no further. Can't wait to photograph more weddings here and work with the Leal team again!

Our daughter’s wedding was two years in the making. We wanted to eliminate as much stress as possible that is usually associated with most big weddings. First off, Leal Vineyards has stunning views. They offer 4 venues at their Hollister location. Our daughter chose the Lavanda venue which is breathtaking. Lavanda includes a waterfall, large pond with water sprout, manicured lawn, full length bar, large covered canopy area, views of the wine cave, s’mores bar, and of course grapevines.Leal Vineyards offered inclusive amenities that were not found anywhere else such as:Their own bake shop, 3 estate homes, decor facilities, on-site wedding coordinators, photo booth, photographers, etc.. The list goes on...and the fact that Leal wines are exceptional made this venue a no-brainer. All the on-site venders worked effectively in conjunction with one another.Dennise, the wedding coordinator, kept everyone in the wedding party focused and on track. Her attention to detail stands second to none. Ultimately Dennise’s goal was to make sure the Bride and Groom had the wedding of their dreams and that the event was flawless. She accomplished those goals and much more. As the Brides parents we based some possible concerns and Dennise would smile and say “Don’t worry, I got this”. And she did! Nothing seemed impossible for her to handle and we can’t thank her enough for making our daughter and son-in-laws wedding blissfully memorable.Luis, the general manager, is another key factor in the success of the wedding and the prior rehearsal dinner.Both Dennise and Luis collaborated seamlessly to achieve the effects we imagined and turned them into reality.Kudos to all the hard working people at Leal Vineyards for all their help. It did not go unnoticed. Guests at the wedding have posted several compliments such as, the perfect wedding, best wedding ever, Leal is gorgeous, OMG Beautiful!My husband and I highly recommended Leal Vineyards, the staff and management for their 5 star service and professionalism.

Simply put, Leal Vineyards is a top notch venue and knows how to put on a wedding! Our wedding in August of this year was beautiful, and all who attended said that it was \"the best wedding they had ever attended.\" Our wedding coordinator, Erin \"Tex\" Bearman, is second to none. Throughout the year leading up to our wedding day, Erin handled all of our needs with the utmost professionalism and expertise. Erin and her team executed the event with precision and treated everyone like VIPs. If you want a perfectly choreographed, high class wedding that is fun and amazing, then Leal is the place to have one of the most important days of your lives. Picturesque setting (highly recommend the Barrel Room and the Estate homes), delicious food, awesome DJ and music, and overall perfection. Our outside vendors (Officiant, Hair and Makeup, and photographer) were all recommended to us by Leal and they were equally amazing, making our day that much more special. Leal covered all the basis and we highly recommend their event services. Thank you Leal!Xavier and Hannah Muñoz

We were married at lavanda September 2018. May I just say it was absolutely gorgeous. The staff was extra sweet and made the process easy and absolutely perfect. When we see people today they still talk about how gorgeous and fun our wedding was. I liked that almost everything was available for them to do. The only major things I had to do was bridal party attire, invitations, and very small details like favors and cake toppers. It was perfect for me with a 5 month old.

My husband and I will never be able to thank the Léal team enough for the most incredible, magical, dreamiest wedding we could have ever asked for. Aside from having the perfect day, at a venue that is picture-perfect literally around every corner, the entire process from start to finish was just as amazing as the wedding itself. From the very beginning, the Léal team made all parts of the wedding planning process absolutely seamless. Right when we set our date, they gave us a personal online profile that made it super easy to get all the details on our day whenever we needed it. They were also always readily available to answer any questions we had, and met with us when we wanted to fully visualize the locations we were using. As a Léal couple, a major perk to having your wedding at one of their venues is that you are able to work with their entire team, from the venue staff, planners, floral designers, catering team, bakery, and DJs... This venue is especially so unique because it has multiple different looks and experiences to choose from, not only for you as a bride and groom, but also for your guests... if you're considering Léal for your venue, you might as well stop your search now because nothing will compare!

This place is UNREAL!!! We just got married on October 19th 2018 and we had the most perfect day ever. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful venue, wonderful and helpful staff and overall amazing experience. I wish we could do this day over a million times! They are basically a one stop shop for weddings and it couldn’t have been easier, more convenient or fun than how the process and day ended up for us. If you’re looking for a place to get married, Leal is the place for you! We even joined the wine club so we have an excuse to come back and visit this wonderful place!❤️

Literally the worst company I have ever dealt with. Customer service and timely responses get a score of negative 5. I’m sad to say that we have wasted nearly a month trying to secure this venue for a wedding. After a bit of back and forth about the details we were told that with manager approval we were all set to book and promised a response within 2-3 days. We were assured that most if not all of what we had discussed would be approved. After a full 7 days we called for status only to be told that not only did she not have our approval, but she had lost the details entirely. We patiently reiterated what was previously discussed and were again assured that we would get a response within 2-3 days. Again, we got no response and another false promise of a call back that again didn’t happen. After 3 weeks wasted trying to secure this venue, we finally sent our ‘coordinator’ Mel a message letting her know that we needed to know one way or another and didn’t appreciate her lack of response. To this she quickly replied “ can you talk today” and provided a time she could fit us into her schedule that did not work for us. When we attempted to reach her again at a time that we could do, she completely blew us off with a “Good luck in your marriage and finding a venue”. We then reached out to Tiffany whom we were told was the manager in charge of all bookings. We sent an email requesting to speak with her directly and a brief description of the poor service we had gotten. After no response in several days, we called and were told Tiffany was on vacation and when she would return. So again we waited until 3 days after we were told she would be back at work and after no response, tried to call her. After 2 more days trying to reach her, we finally were able to speak to her. We quickly explained the situation and the lack of response we had received and asked to review the venue details directly with her. During the brief conversation in which she was very short with us and borderline rude, Tiffany did provide details and some possibilities but stated that she had a meeting and would need to get back to us by 2pm today. At close of business today we received a message from Tiffany telling us to take our business elsewhere. While I can only imagine what the 1st coordinator Mel said to cover her own behind for her horrible customer service, that was no excuse for the supposed ‘manager’ and lead person Tiffany to be so rude and unprofessional as well. A business is only as good as the people running it. Mr. Leal, I recommend that you reconsider the staff you have coordinating the events at your beautiful facilities.

Such a GORGEOUS and amazing wedding venue!!!! Leal Vineyards is a breathtaking spot for your wedding. My husband and I highly recommend renting the Estate Homes; it was so convenient to be staying on the property with family and friends, especially for our rehearsal dinner! Not only that, but the Leal staff constantly makes sure everything is running smoothly from the time you arrive to the morning after your wedding. The venue and staff will make this the best day of your life! Also, because Leal is so pretty, you can save money on your own decor since the venue is already gorgeous enough! We had our ceremony at the Lavanda site, and reception in the Barrel Room, which is the perfect room to keep your guests cool during the warmer months! Also, the \"LOVE\" sign photos are taken at their new gorgeous ceremony site!! There are SO many gorgeous spots for photos (Lavender field, olive trees, Barrel Room, love sign, vineyard, etc!)

Leal is a beautiful site for the ceremony and reception. They have 3 location on the property and all of them are beautiful. We got married and had the reception at the Levanda site and it was absolutely spectacular. They do the food and cake through the restaurant they own and it's delicious, people were raving about our food. They also take care of the flowers, décor, and DJ through their Deluxe Design and Décor company. This is a full service location and they really go out of their way to make everything perfect. You even get a day of coordinator. All services are customizable so it's up to you how much you want to spend but the rental fees are very reasonable. I also highly recommend renting the houses they have on site as they are perfect for the rehearsal dinner and getting ready the day of. The day of coordinators and general manager, Kendra and Owie are amazing!

My husband and I got married at Leal Vineyards in June, we could not have asked for a better experience or a more perfect day! We took a year and half to plan our wedding, from start to finish the experience was exceptional! The staff and their vendors were responsive, organized and supportive of all of our needs. They truly were determined to make our wedding day perfect and special in every way. We took advantage of every thing Leal Vineyards had to offer, we rented the estate homes on the property which are breathtaking and our guests throughly enjoyed their stay at Hacienda de Leal. Renting the estate homes for the weekend allowed us to throughly enjoy our entire wedding weekend. Kendra Saenz, whom is the wedding coordinator was amazing, she made me feel at ease the entire time! Owie Popescu who is the General Manager was also super accommodating, he made sure that we got were able to make the most of our budget so that our wedding day would be everything we had dreamed about! Not to mention the fact that the two of them are so sweet and easy to talk too! Not only were we impressed by the venue and their staff but so were our guests! For weeks and now months after the wedding we've had our guests mention how impressed they were with the venue as well! Initially we were worried about the weather in June because we chose the Lavanda and tent for our ceremony and reception but we got really lucky, the high that day only got up to 80 degrees and it cooled down nicely in the evening. Mario Tavares who was the DJ recommended by Leal listened to our thoughts and ideas for music and ran with it! He did such a wonderful job of reading the crowd that by the end of the night our guests were begging him to stay for a couple hours longer! They couldn't get enough, which made us so happy because my biggest fear was that people wouldn't dance! Giselle Ribeiro whom is the florist also did a fabulous job! She took all of my Pinterest finds and make my vision come to life! Like I've mentioned several times in my review, we couldn't have been happier or more pleased with our experience! We would highly recommend this beautiful venue! #liveloveleal

I couldn't have asked for a better venue for my wedding. I wanted a barrel room for the reception and there's was just what I was looking for. Some barrell rooms look like warehouses or are too small but this one can fit up to 300 people and had a very romantic atmosphere. The vineyards and ground are just beautiful! You also have the option to rent their estate homes for the weekend which I highly recommend! They are the perfect getting ready homes. There are 2 of them...the bride's house and the groom's house. Both have 4 bedrooms and have a shabby chique interior. You can also have your wedding rehearsal dinner there which has gorgeous views of the vineyards. Everything is included when you book with Leal...the florist, DJ, cake person, catering, etc. And the coordinators, Owie and Kendra, were a pleasure to work with! Everyone was! Giselle, the florist, made all the bouquets and centerpieces exactly how I wanted them. The whole wedding planning experience with them was so organized! Our DJ played all the songs we requested and our guests danced the night away. Our wedding cake from their pastry chef was beautiful and the food was absolutely delicious! This place was a lot cheaper but just as beautiful than any winery or vineyard in Napa. I want to get married here again!
