Our wedding day at Ventosa was so amazing. All the employees there were great to work with and responded quickly to any questions we had. The food was INCREDIBLE! We got married on the front lawn and it was picture perfect overlooking the lake on a beautiful sunny August day. The staff kept everything on time and everyone raved about how fun our wedding was!!

Living out of town and planning a wedding in the throes of pandemic shutdowns, we chose Ventosa as our ceremony and reception venue sight unseen; this turned out to be one of the best decisions we made.
RJ did a great job adapting to virtual wedding planning, as he outlined all of our options and Ventosa procedures over the phone, even giving us a FaceTime tour of the banquet hall. I think what really made our decision so easy, besides their great reviews, was the beautiful outdoor ceremony space looking over the vineyard and lake, and the banquet hall that required very little additional decorating to be wedding-ready. For the year and a half approaching the wedding, RJ was always available to answer questions and make changes.
A few months before the wedding, we were in town and visited Ventosa to do some food tasting. It was at this point we knew that the food was going to be an absolute hit. We went with the poached salmon, NY strip steak, and chicken bianco - all of which we highly recommend. We also met the chef that day, who assured us that he's able to easily accommodate for just about any dietary restriction you can think of.
Fast forward to the big weekend, and we didn't have to lift a finger. We did our rehearsal the afternoon before the wedding, which is when we met Kathy, the ceremony coordinator. She walked us through all of our options and made sure everything was figured out so there were no questions left unanswered come the next day. We even had a questionable weather forecast, something Kathy was keeping her eye on should we need to make any last minute changes.
The day of the wedding was absolutely perfect. When we showed up for first look, Kathy greeted us, ushered us to where we needed to be, and left us to our photographers. When parents showed up, she was there with a golf cart to get them where they needed to be. After pictures were done, we had a little downtime before the ceremony, and Kathy ensured that we were comfortable, hydrated, and hidden from some early-arriving guests! The clouds cleared up, the sun came out, and the ceremony went as beautifully as it was planned.
During the reception, the Ventosa staff somehow found a way to work diligently while also barely being noticed. The bartenders worked fast, the wait-staff worked efficiently, and everyone did it with a smile on their face. As we anticipated, we still have guests telling us to this day that Ventosa served the best food they've ever had at a wedding.
When the night came to an end, the staff worked quickly to get cleaned up, even though we never felt pressured to get out the door. The next day we stopped to pick up some decorations and leftover cake, which was handled with great care.
Ventosa provided us and countless guests with a night we will never forget - something I can't thank Ventosa, RJ, Kathy, the Chef, and the rest of the staff enough for. We will always stop buy for a glass of wine and some lunch whenever we're in the area.

Some tips for people considering Ventosa for their wedding:
-Sneak away from your reception and see if the staff will let you and your photographer down in the wine cellar for some fantastic photos.
-If you want to offer a steak, give the NY Strip some serious consideration before blindly going with the filet. The strip is to die for.
-Try to get some sunset photos in the vineyard and by the lake
-If you're getting married in the FLX, do it at Ventosa. More...
