My husband and I got married at Scribner Bend on 4/22/23. I cannot say enough good things about Jessica, her team, and the venue. The venue is in Elk Grove and beautifully located away from freeway and noise of the city. There's plenty of gorgeous rose covered arches and the venue had such a romantic feel to it. We fell in love with the venue the moment we saw it and knew this was the place we had to get married. Jessica reached out shortly thereafter and we had a date set! Jessica made the entire wedding planning process so easy and she honestly took the stress off our shoulders. She coordinated with our vendors, constantly kept us updated, and was very clear with every step of the process. She is organized, professional, and the kind of person you want when planning such a huge day. Leading up to the wedding, she gave us plenty of time to work on each step of the wedding i.e. ceremony set up, reception details, seating chart, etc. I further appreciated how both the bride/bridesmaid could get ready on site as well as the groom and groomsmen (in different areas of the venue, of course) and could order food to be brought to the Bungalow during the getting ready process. Once we were done getting ready, things ran so smoothly because of Jessica and her team. After the ceremony, we had pictures taken and I had gotten hungry so one of the staff members left the bridal party with a tray of appetizers which was so perfect and exactly what we all needed at the time. The rest of the wedding was incredible. Our guests partied, ate, and danced under and near the beautiful tented area. I still get compliments about our wedding so many months later. If I could do our wedding again, I would in a heartbeat simply because of how incredible the whole team was. Reviewed on 29-07-2023

We got married at Scribner Bend on 6/10/2023, and wow, where do I start?The planning process was remarkable easy. Jessica got back to us as soon as we first reached out, and within a few days we toured the grounds with Laura, who was sweet and professional and made us feel welcome and comfortable. The pricing and payment timeline were totally transparent, and the rest of the planning process was laid out in an organized manner for us.Jessica, Laura, and Sarah gave us outstanding service in the months leading up to our big day. Jessica guided us through the whole process, from picking vendors to creating ceremony diagrams, and answered all of the questions that we had. We had a few last-minute changes, which got implemented perfectly.Jessica also coordinated with all of the vendors on the day of the wedding, so my husband and I were entirely free to spend time with our friends and family. Jessica and the SBV staff had taken care of so much beforehand, and took care of everything else on the day of (to include setting up and breaking down the tables with decorations/table numbers, accepting flower and cake deliveries, coordinating with out DJ/MC for the sound setup, prepping the bridal bungalow and groomsmen airstream trailer, etc). My bridesmaids and our hair and makeup artists all said that it was the most chill wedding they had ever been a part of, and that's because the staff at SBV did so much behind the scenes for us.The venue itself is jaw-dropping gorgeous. SBV has the perfect \"lush greenery\" look, with rose-covered arches, tall walnut tree, and rows and rows of vines. The whole venue is covered in greenery and smells so lovely because of all of the roses and honeysuckle and jasmine. I love that the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception are all in different areas, so the guests get to see different scenery as the night goes on. My husband and I really wanted an outdoor wedding, and while the reception is within a tent, you are surrounded by greenery the entire night. While the weather on our day was unseasonably beautiful, there's also tons of shade for sunny/hot days. We got away with minimal florals and uplighting, since the venue is already so well lit and beautiful. Finally, because of the location, SBV felt incredibly peaceful and private. We felt like we were in a little pocket of heaven all night, and in the following few days I lost count of how many people said that it was \"the most beautiful wedding they had ever been to\".We purchased the package for unlimited wine and beer for our celebration. The wine was delicious and well received. We weren't thrilled about one of the beer options, but we were able to bring a beer of our choice to swap out. There was never a line at the bar, and our guests drank as much as they wanted. We also opted for the sparkling almond wine toast, which was delicious and well loved.For Paesanos - we received exceptional service and phenomenal food from Rain and the rest of the Paesanos staff. We were blown away by how delicious the food was, and how professional the service was. I posted a longer review on Yelp with more details.Everything considered, we are so, so thankful that Jessica and the other staff at SBV took such great care of us in the months leading up to our wedding day, and our family and friends on the day itself. Our day was absolutely perfect. I cannot recommend this venue highly enough. Reviewed on 15-06-2023

My husband and I got married at Scribner Bend at the end of April 2023. We would give it 10 stars if possible! Honestly, we could not imagine having our wedding anywhere else. First, the place is BEAUTIFUL. The flowers, the vines, the barn, the ceremony and reception area, the bungalow - everything is stunning. Second, the food (Paesanos) - AMAZING. We had so many guests comment on how delicious dinner was (and of course the late night pizzas - highly recommend). They also had an awesome selection of wine, which was phenomenal as well. Most importantly, Jessica and the Scribner team were amazing to work with. She answered every question we had in a very timely manner, sent reminders and updates, and made us feel very comfortable with the process. From the very first tour to the last hour of wedding clean up - they were there to help and support every step of the way. Everything ran so smoothly on wedding day. I expected to probably have a glitch or two - but nope, not one! We are so grateful! Thank you again Scribner Bend for helping make our wedding the best day!! :) Reviewed on 09-06-2023

Scribner Bend Vineyard is the best venue ever for a wedding or just to go and have a glass of wine and chill. We had our wedding at scribner Bend on April 23, 2023. Jessica was super helpful with the wedding planning and kept me on point through the whole process. The food for the wedding was catered by Paesano's. It was amazing!! The vibe, the food, and the wine was great. Especially, the Almond Sparkling Wine used for toasting. Our guest said we had the best wedding they have ever been too! It would not have been the best without Scribner Bend, Jessica, and the friendly staff. I love this vineyard and will continue to go here to chill. I can see why The Knot voted them the best venue.

I would highly suggest using vendors from their preferred vendor list. I did not have to manage any other vendors, as they all are familiar with the property. I might also suggest hiring someone to help clean up and pack up belongings at the end of the night, as this was the only part of the evening that didn't go as smooth as I hoped.

G Williams(wedding party)3 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 16-07-2018 We just completed our daughters wedding at Scribner Bend. Its a beautiful place and a perfect setting for a wedding. There are a couple of things to be wary of before signing the contract. One the beverage package is the bulk of the cost and you probably wont use it all so get the least volume you can get. It is over half the cost of the venue. In other venues you can bring your own thus being able to control the costs and what you serve. This is a negative in regards to wedding costs.Two its almost impossible to get your pictures done well before the event. They dont allow you to roam the property because its open to the public right before your wedding. So you have no privacy to get your wedding pictures done well before the event except at the bungalow which isnt very picturesque.They dont really tell you that so think through it. We did not have a good experience in that regard and our pictures were messed up because of it. You also dont have alot of set up time before the event they dont let you start until 3pm which is super rushed if you are doing it yourself.You have to pay extra for any vendors you bring in, we did use one of their vendors (a cake lady) but it wasnt that great. You only get 4 hours at the venue which is very rushed when you are spending over 10k on a wedding, so consider that as well.We also were charged for 'damages' at the bungalow and they kept our deposit, for a couple of curling iron burns. So watch your people if you rent the bungalow. We did not have a rowdy crowd so that was disappointing.Overall it is very beautiful but they do nickel and dime you all along the way and its is a very rushed experience because of it being open to the public.

Kayla Boutros(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-07-2015 My husband and I were married at Scribner Bend last summer. I cannot say enough about this place…Most brides have one or two things that they prioritize above all else when planning their wedding. Some want the best food; others may want to put a significant amount toward their flowers, or their dress. For me, it was the venue above all else. In my opinion, the venue sets the tone for your wedding and plays a huge part in how much your guests enjoy themselves- and I was aiming to please!The venue itself is beautiful and exactly what I was looking for. They are constantly updating it and adding new features, and we were so impressed on our tour of the place. What really sold it for me was the \"Bridal Bungalow\"- the adorable old farmhouse on the property were the bride and her girls can spend all day getting ready. You can also choose to spend the night there after the wedding, which we decided to do at the last minute. I'm so glad we did. After everyone is gone you are completely alone in this beautiful house on the river- peace and privacy you'd never get if you stayed in a hotel. I woke up very early the next morning-though we were told we didn't need to rush out- and was able to watch the sunrise over the vineyards and reflect on my wonderful wedding day.What we weren't expecting when we first toured Scribner Bend was how much we'd fall in love with the people, specifically Kelley. By the end of our tour and some wine tasting it felt like we were old friends. At one point she showed us a video of other weddings that had taken place there. Although she must have seen it a thousand times, you'd never know it. She oo'ed and ahh'ed as she pointed out couples- \"They just came in to see us last week!\" \"Oh they're pregnant with twins now!\" It felt like someone was showing us videos of her family and it really struck me how much she loves seeing these happy couples and considers them family even years later. We hadn't met anyone like that at any other venue we'd toured. The day of our wedding, Kelley and her staff were there for us every step of the way and could almost sense what we needed before we did. At one point my family took a break from getting ready to go out and try to quickly set up some last minute details, only to find that Kelley and her staff had taken care of it all. After the wedding my family could not stop talking with how impressed they were with the staff and how amazing Kelley was. And our guests could not stop talking about how beautiful the venue was.Another note: The type of people who make Scribner Bend so amazing can also be found in the tasting room. Let me just say: this is not an uppity, snobby winery. Every time we've ever been in to taste, it's like a party with old friends. It's clear the staff love what they do and who they work with and they love getting to share their wine with customers.My husband and I are celebrating our one year anniversary in a few days and we will be returning to Scribner Bend this weekend to celebrate.This place and its people are amazing and I can't thank them enough for making our wedding so perfect!

First off, they do host ceremonies as well, we just decided to get married at a church. The venue is beautiful, and they let you decorate as much or as little as you want. They have a base price, which is really low compared to other vineyard venues that we visited, and then they have a per-person fee for drinks, which made it so that we didn't have to worry about drinks at all. Everyone there is super helpful and nice, and made our reception go perfectly. Reviewed on 14-08-2015

Jillian Still(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 25-05-2014 I loved our venue. It was perfect for us and they really bailed us out of a jam when our first venue was put up for sale with 6 months to go. They recently made a lot of updates (added a fire place, put in a tent, bricked in the space under the tent, added chandeliers) and the place looked amazing on our day. We loved that tables and chairs, some lighting and a day of coordinator were included. The beverage package is a little pricey but I'm pretty sure we got our moneys worth ;) For the most part they were easy to work with. There wasn’t always consistency and communication between the event coordinators and I didn’t get to meet my day of coordinator until the day of (which made me a little nervous) but in the end everything went exceedingly well. My only complaint was that I specifically told them I did not want cars in the parking lot during the ceremony. I stressed it several times and they assured me it would be taking care of. Low and behold, as I walked from bridal cottage to the ceremony site (across said parking lot) I passed a parked car. Luckily, it didn’t show up in my pictures, but it made me nervous as to how the rest of the night was going to come together. The answer…flawlessly :) They did a beautiful job and worked with my vendors to manage every detail. I didn’t have a thing to worry about. It was a wonderful event at a beautiful location. My guests were in awe, as was I. Reviewed on 26-08-2014
Krystle Englehart(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 14-06-2014 My groom and I had a June wedding in this beautiful vineyard. Our experience was incredible, the owners and staff really made us feel like we were apart of their family and that our wedding day was as important to them as it was to us. Aside from the wonderful customer service I have to say the grounds itself make the choice to have your wedding there easy! The grounds are perfect for any style. It can be easily dressed down for country-chic or dressed up for an elegant black tie affair. Also, the greenery and rose bushes add a lovely touch that will allow you to save hundreds on flowers from your florist.Another bonus, chairs are included in your site fee! It may not sound that great but if you look into chair rentals this really helps keep you on budget. My advice to couples who choose this venue would be to keep your decor simple to allow the vineyard to do the work of wow-ing your guests and Brides, rent the bungalow and get ready there with your maids! It truly made my day to eliminate the stress of getting ready off site. Plus, the bungalow makes for gorgeous getting ready shots with your photographer. Reviewed on 21-07-2014
Amanda (bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 23-05-2014 The day went so well and would not have been possible if Karen from Scribner Bend had not been available. Her and the staff kept me on time and made sure I did not have to stress. Of course you have to make the options of what flowers you want, what food options you may choose, who your DJ may be but they also make those choices easy by giving you a preferred list of vendors and the day of the crew works together so you can concentrate on yourself. It was an AMAZing day at a gorgeous place along the delta and do not miss out on their bungalow that is available to rent for day of hair & makeup prep along with staying there after the wedding.

Nicole Montano(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 13-04-2014 I had my wedding mid April at this wonderful venue. They just remodeled the reception area to include a fireplace with bench seating behind the tent. The best time to have a wedding here, in my opinion, is spring through fall. Winter is the only time where there is really nothing on the vines. The ladies who worked with me throughout the process knew what they were doing and put me at ease.\r\rThe cons to this venue is the bar price. Whether you do an open bar or cash bar, chances are it will cost you a lot of money. Also, communication between the venue and other vendors was a bit frustrating. I had to be \"the middle man\" and some things were lost in translation.\r\rOverall, this place gave me the wedding of my dreams. I highly recommend having your wedding at Scribner Bend!

Tina Semon(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 03-08-2012 We loved the winery when we visited, became members, and when we became engaged we knew it was going to be the ideal place for our wedding. Karen was great to work with and we felt great knowing everything was going to go smoothly. On our wedding day all the staff at Scribner were amazing. They were patient and made sure we were on schedule and worked wonderfully with our caterer and our family and friends. It is a beautiful venue and it was definitely a great day that our guests enjoyed. And it was the greatest day for me and my husband that we will always remember. Reviewed on 11-01-2013
Monica Rojas(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 08-09-2012 Words cannot explain how wonderful my experience was at Scribner Bend, from beginning to end. Everyone at the vineyard was friendly and helpful, especially the wedding coordinator. We always felt comfortable calling and asking questions. We were able to stop by several times just to look around as we developed our plans. Impecable service.\rYou can bring in your own caterer, which was important to me. Some venues really get you with using their caterer, there by being able to charge just about whatever they want per plate. \r\rThe venue, itself, is GORGEOUS. It's kind of in the country so it's quiet. The river is on one side of the vineyard, so there's usually a good breeze. Our wedding was in Septimber, which seemed to be the perfect time of year. The grapes were big in visible, the flowers on the archers were in full bloom, and the weather was beautiful. \r\rI HIGHLY recommend this venue. Reviewed on 23-09-2012

I have been lucky enough to be part of the Scribner Bend Vineyards family for coming up on 7 years and have helped assist 100's of couples with their wedding details as they plan their weddings. I have always loved event planning and coordinated my first wedding in College, at that time I was crazy and did it completely SOLO - luckily here at SBV we have an amazing events team to implement the couples wedding vision and be hands on during their wedding day.I cherish every relationship I make at SBV and love being able to help a couple find their zen and relax when it comes to their big day!
