Nella Terra Cellars

We got married September 2015 and couldn’t be happier with Nella Terra Cellars. Not only was it an incredible venue, but the staff should receive 6 stars, not 5. :)
We booked Nella Terra Cellars 13 months in advance and initially worked with Veena. She was super knowledgeable and helpful as we were deciding on a venue. After we booked, Leann took over as our coordinator. I couldn’t say enough about Leann…
I’m a very picky bride so naturally, I bombarded Leann with many questions before we even met. She was always prompt in reply and easy-​going. I never felt like I was overbearing (even if I was). Our two in-​person meetings also felt really easy and she helped calm any nerves. You can tell Leann has been a wedding coordinator for a long time.
But she was truly exceptional on the wedding day itself. It seemed like she didn’t even take a 2 second break. She was running around all day and all night making sure everything was running smoothly. She also checked in with my husband and I throughout the evening, asking us how we were feeling and if we needed anything (for instance, if I wanted a ride to change my shoes up in bridal suite or if I needed an extra cocktail). At one point, she even stopped our guests from saying hi to us during dinner so we could quickly eat! What a nice (and difficult) thing to do!
At the end of the night, Leann made sure all our things were packed up nicely in the boxes we brought them in and she wished us farewell. She has even emailed us to see how we’re doing.
I’m so impressed and grateful for Leann. She really made our wedding day what it is! Thumbs up to this awesome venue and awesome team of professionals.

The Vineyards at Nella Terra Cellars is a magical location! Our daughter’s October wedding was absolutely perfect with the sun setting over the golden hills as the evening progressed from the ceremony to the patio area for cocktails and appetizers, to the perfect party atmosphere set in the white tent under the beautiful chandeliers and strings of lights. The trees around the grounds were also covered in strings of lights adding a warm ambiance to those who wanted explore the property. We had more guests tell us that it had been the best wedding they had ever attended, and absolutely loved the location!
The entire staff at Nella Terra was extremely accommodating, and it really showed that they cared about the service we received. We could not have asked for better wedding coordinators — both Leann and Cassie were amazing and on top of every detail. They were both very professional, accommodating, and patient with answering all my numerous questions via email and phone conversations, a true pleasure to work with!
We had rave reviews on the buffet which was incredible, always looked well taken care of, and tasted delicious.
When our daughter first visited Nella Terra we saw in her eyes that this would be the venue of her choice for their wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with their decision — truly the most perfect location, staff, and service for their «BEST DAY EVER»!

Now I can finally review the venue as we attended a college friend’s wedding last month. With the heat wave just that week, I was a bit scared as to how hot it would be but surprisingly they had a nice breeze so you did not feel like you were in a wok like other parts of the valley.
They are not right off the freeway so you do have to drive a little bit up the hill to get here making the cell reception spotty and eventually nonexistent. But you should really be paying attention instead of looking at your phone anyways. When you are there you cannot help but admire the scenery and the many picture perfect spots.
Ceremony was outside while the reception was under a tent, both beautiful. I like how they have a shuttle to take you to and from the parking lot. You can walk as well but the shuttle is great if you are wearing heels and when you leave when it is dark.

The venue is beautiful but my coordinators Cassie and Leanne were not helpful. will post new blog soon. Too much to talk about.
5 stars for the owner and his property

My family attended a beautiful wedding here over the weekend. The place is WAAAAY out there. Just when you think you’re lost, your GPS is telling you to keep going. The signs the wedding party made were super helpful.
The grounds were clean and kept. The staff were very helpful as soon as we arrived, from the parking to the cocktail hour servers. Great job!
There’s even a shuttle to take you down to the wedding site. But we opted to walk down stairs. You really feel like Cinderella as you glide down to the bottom. (I’m sure the bride did).
Tips:
Don’t get a car wash before to come here as your car will get super dusty (unpaved dirt roads)
No cell reception unless you log into their WiFi.
Wear flats if you plan to take stairs down to wedding site or take the shuttle if you have stilettos. On second thoughts, leave the stilettos at home, go with platform heels. You’ll thank me!
Provide parasols for your guests if your having your ceremony here. It saved the guests from being sun burn.
Go for a potty run before you leave the house. I didn’t see any of those portable luxury potties. Well, maybe because I didn’t need to go.

We had our wedding here in August and loved the experience. We worked with Leann throughout the year leading up to the event and she was always very accommodating and would answer our many questions. She’s clearly detail-​oriented and got everything set up the way we wanted on the day of. Cassie was our ceremony coordinator and was also great in helping us during the rehearsal and day of. Everyone at Nella Terra was just very friendly and great to get along with.
It’s a really beautiful venue — you can see the green hills in the winter and the golden hills in the summer. The grapes were out in the vineyard in August and it just makes for a really nice setting.
For Jewish wedding reference: we put our chuppah in front of the gazebo and that worked well. Also, we did the ketubah signing by the big tree across the water from the ceremony site and that was a good spot.
We enjoyed the food that we had (when we had a chance to eat) and heard only positive things from our guests.

I got married in July 2015 and there were over 250 people at the wedding. I couldn’t have asked for a better setting for my best day ever!
VENUE
Beautiful — a bay area oasis! One drives up this private road lined with trees, open fields, and wildlife (watch out for the squirrels who like to run across the road). One descends the stairs lined by vines dripping with grapes and wild flowers in between. At the bottom one is greeted with a green lawn for the ceremony and behind it, a pond with ducks, a waterfall, and trees and flowers (I feel like I sound like the faceless man in GoT saying «one» all the time lol but anyway…). One can’t help but marvel at how beautiful everything is here!
Seriously, this place was amazing. All our guests commented about how lovely it was. One of my guests asked his wife why they didn’t get married here: D
My husband and I love being outdoors and I wanted an outdoor wedding initially. My parents were concerned about the elderly and unpredictable weather with an outdoor wedding and they wanted an indoor wedding initially. This was a great compromise with an outdoor ceremony surrounded by nature and the reception was indoors inside a tent with the option of still going outdoors.
Seriously this place has everything:
— Openness — there are rolling hills during the day and stars at night
— Tent — I always loved the pictures of a tent wedding so this was a dream come true and helped relieve my parents’ anxiety about the weather
— Patio — perfect for games and complete with a fire pit and lounge chairs
— Bridal suite — one of the largest and most well-​decorated bridal suites that I have ever been to. There is a very large room with a small refrigerator, a smaller changing room, a bathroom, and a sliding glass door to the patio.
— Groomsmen area — much smaller, but we did not actually use this. But it does have a bathroom.
I’d like to comment on another reviewer’s comment about a «dog running around». The «dog running around» belongs to the venue owner and every time I saw her, she was always friendly, and on the day of the wedding, I did not see her at all. Maybe because they let me bring my dog on my wedding day! Huge shoutout for them for this because it meant a lot that she was a part of my special day.
FOOD/​DRINKS
We were bummed at first about having a required caterer. But actually all my guests couldn’t stop talking about how good the food was. We did a buffet style but there are served options of course. They also accommodated for kids, vegetarians, and vegans. As for wine, we had the Redded Bliss and Viognier. For beer, we had Blue Moon and Anchor Steam. For the sparkling, there was champagne for the toast and apple cider.
SERVICE
Leann is so awesome. She met with us at the start and patiently answered all our questions. During the planning, she made everything that we wanted work (and I wanted a lot, she found space for: over 250 guests, DJ, dance floor, photobooth, boba bar, mini cupcake dessert bar with our small cake, gelato, and tacos for late night food). On the day of the wedding, she hustled endlessly to make sure everything was just as we had envisioned. My bridesmaids said that they saw her literally running around. Thank you Leann! Cassie was our ceremony coordinator. We met first during our rehearsal and I was a little worried because things were a little disorganized that day. But the wedding day went off well and she was a sweetheart for driving us around in the golf cart when we needed it. The sparkling wine on arrival was a nice touch which we enjoyed later! The entire rest of the staff was friendly too.
HINTS
— Long private driveway up to the venue. Our guests commented that they weren’t sure they were in the right place, but that’s why the venue require signs on the way up so make sure you have these and warn your guests in advance.
— The parking lot and path to and from the bridal suite is gravel and it is not well-​lit. I still had no problem in my high-​heeled shoes. The aisle is not gravel in case you’re wondering.
— There is a shuttle if you don’t want to take the stairs.
— If you don’t want your aisle to be the entire stairway, they can set up a curtain half-​way up. I did this since I didn’t want to walk a long walk down the aisle.
— No cell phone service. Warn guests as well about this since we had a couple guests try to catch Über or Lyft but they couldn’t get service.
— Bathrooms are the luxury mobile ones (fancy porta-​potties). We made bathroom amenity kits but be forewarned that there is very little space (one thin ledge) for this.
— I got married in July and it was hot, but not unbearable. At night, if you’re outdoors, it can still get a little windy so bring something to cover up with. They do have heat if you really need it.
In case you couldn’t tell, I am delighted that Nella Terra Cellars was available for my wedding day. I would highly recommend them!

Just having been open for a year, Nella Terra Cellars is one of the newer wineries/​wedding venues just outside of the Bay Area. It’s definitely out in the middle of nowhere… Sunol. My only previous experiences of going out to Sunol was for hiking or rock climbing in the regional wilderness park. When I was invited to attend a wedding at Nella Terra in Sunol, I was surprised why anyone would choose that area as their venue. After visiting, I realized that the venue was beautiful and almost like a hidden gem that has just been discovered.
I didn’t get a chance to check out the actual wine tasting rooms, but as you enter the Nella Terra grounds, vineyards provide a beautiful backdrop as if you were in wine country. For wedding guests, they provide a short shuttle ride down to the open space venue. It’s great to have this shuttle service to and from your car since it would be a bit of a walk down or up the hill (especially ladies in high heels). There is a lovely lawn for a wedding ceremony with a garden and pond in the background. Only would caution those getting married during the summertime bc Sunol tempertures do get really hot. There was also a huge tent for the reception that day. I’m not sure if the catering is also affiliated with Nella Terra, but the food was alright for the most part. Some of the servers didn’t know what they were serving when we asked during the cocktail hour and plates got cleared much faster than they were supposed to be during the reception. I gather that they do not have plumbing, so there are fancy port-​a-​potties on site. Overall, beautiful outdoor venue with the feel of being in wine country without the cost.
As for the Nella Terra wines that were served at the reception, they were quite good. I tried both the Red Bliss and Viognier. Both blends were easy to drink and better than I would have expected. I definitely would go back to do some wine tasting if I were in that area.

This review is from the viewpoint of a wedding attendee. Last weekend I had the honor of attending a beautiful wedding at this picturesque location.
Not the easiest place to find, but there are marked signs here and there. Note that there are NO street lights at night. Be careful of nice shoes as parking lot isn’t paved. After walking what seems like endless # of steps to get to the seating area, it was worth it. The alter sits in front of a pond-​like setting with a small bridge. Since it was a hot day, cold lemonade and ice water await in the back.
Cocktail hour and reception were held in the court yard and in a big open tent. Light breeze flowed through with some shade here and there outside. Cheerful staff members passed around light appetizers. I enjoyed the cucumber salmon bites and the crispy triangles. The hosts included an open bar so of course I had to try the wine.
Staff was well trained and dinner was brought out simultaneously for the 150 guests. Options included salmon, duck, steak, or vegetarian, which was pre-​selected when I RSVP’ed. I forgot that I had gotten the duck that I felt was too salty. However, I really enjoyed the mashed potatoes because it was seasoned well, light and fluffy. I had a bite of the salmon and vegetarian dish, both were better than the duck in my opinion. No real kitchen on site, everything was prepped in a trailer?
FYI: No real restrooms on site. The restroom is an upscale potty in a trailer. Lots of air fresheners and vents inside, so smells were masked. Ladies, be careful walking up the metal steps because there are small holes on the metal that might get your heel stuck.
The night ended with lots of photo-​booth action and dancing. The hosts hired a live band and the acoustics in the tent was just right. Night time became chilly, but dancing kept me warm. Overall, I would consider having a wedding here.

We had our wedding reception here in June 2015. Frankly, Nella Terra Cellars was a home run. Our guests can’t stop gushing about how gorgeous the venue looked. The lighting and setup exceeded our already very high expectations. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have had our event there.
The venue is tucked away in the hills so there’s no worrying about noise or parking. You get the feeling that night is truly yours.
Nella Terra likely will not stay a hidden gem for long. Be prepared to come here for a wedding (or have yours!) in the near future.

I recently attended a wedding at this venue and I have to admit, the location was quite picturesque.
The venue is located at the top of a hill so you do have to drive on a narrow curvy road for maybe a mile or two off of the main road. This isn’t a big issue but still worth noting. Once you arrive, the parking lot is a gravel area at the top of the hill. There is a nice stone staircase with rows of vines on either side. The staircase which leads down to the stone landing in front of the ceremony area. For those of you worried about having to walk up and down a long staircase, the venue had a shuttle bus running all night from the parking lot down to the venue throughout the vent (after the wedding ceremony of course). It was quite convenient.
In the ceremony area stands a metal Gazebo structure just in front of the pond below. The stone walk way from the landing of the long staircase continues all the way to the gazebo. On either side of the walk way are a small grass field upon which the white folding chairs were lined up. Behind and to the right of the gazebo was a beautiful arching bridge that crosses over the pond. From a scenery perspective, it is a beautiful site for a ceremony. The vivid colors of the grass, flowers, and other landscaping features would really pop in pictures.
Just to the left of that gazebo, on the other side of the row of bushes is the main outdoor cocktail area and reception hall/​tent. The cocktail area has multiple seating areas for guests as well as a large fire pit in the middle where your guests can warm up when the temperatures drop.
Next to the cocktail area is the white tent which the reception was held. The tent was decorated nicely inside with large round tables which sat 9 or 10 people each and the dance floor in the center of the room. The day of the event was quite warm during the day but a breeze kept the guests cool. I did notice that the tent had, what appeared to be air conditioning units so I wouldn’t be worried about the tent on a hot summer day in Sunol. As others have mentioned, the bathroom is a trailer which is parked behind the tent. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I walked into it but it was quite nice inside. You walk up to the door on metal stairs. Once you open the door, you are greeted with hardwood looking floors, 4 urinals on the left and 2 stalls on the right for the men. I was quite impressed how nice it looked inside. It was a lot nicer than you would expect from a plain white trailer with metal steps out front.
The staff were all great. They were all helpful and friendly.
Overall this venue was great and well prepared to host events.
The reason for not giving 5 stars is there are a few things they can improve upon. They will likely address this as they do more and more events. From my understanding, they have only recently started hosting events so they are likely still have some things to solve.
Note: these are just some things I think they could improve upon to make it a better experience for guests:
1) There were no doors for the tent. The staff would simply roll up a section of the tent wall to create a doorway. Once it got cold, they rolled the walls down but did not close off the wall so guests could still pull back the wall flap and walk in and out. While functional, it isn’t very presentable to tell your guests to simply «pull back the corner of that wall flap there and walk out.» One way they could fix this is to add some french doors to the tent structure in strategic spots. I’ve seen this done with other tents at other venues which makes ingress and egress quick and easy. Additionally, the service staff would walk in and out of a flap closest to their kitchen area. A door, or at least some sort of fake wall to hide the kitchen area would be a nice touch. When you look at the area where the staff walked in and out of, you could see the kitchen /​prep area. Would be nice to hide it a bit from your guests view.
2) The metal steps leading up to the portable bathroom trailer should be replaced with a nice wooden deck/​step. If the venue doesn’t plan to install bathrooms and are going to continue with a portable trailer, the wooden steps would be a nice touch to help conceal the fact you’re waling into a porta-​potty. Additionally, the wooden steps would likely be a more stable platform to walk on than the folding metal steps (which was probably part of the trailer).
Overall, the venue was quite nice and if anyone is considering this venue for their wedding, I’d say definitely check them out.

As a wedding photographer I have the pleasure of attending 40 – 50 weddings a year. That being said I’m a bit of an expert on local wedding venues and Nella Terra is a top pick for me. While it’s a new venue, it’s run by an established group of professionals from Palmdale Estates and they know their weddings. My brides and grooms have all been well taken care of from start to finish. I really love that the venue has a wide variety of backdrops for their bride and grooms and there are so many opportunities for perfect portraits around the property. If your thinking of using Nella Terra for your event, take a tour and see if its the right venue for you.

Love this winery! Came here for a private event and tasted some of their fantastic wines. Driving up the path to the house you are greeted with some of the most spectacular views. The wine tasting area is in the upper area with ample shade for enjoying your wine. I also got to check out the brides staging area here for the weddings they do and I’m pretty sure it is the most lovely space to for a wedding. The lower garden is where I think most wedding most take place and it has such a lovely bridge and gazebo to for pictures.

First of all, this venue is beautiful. There were obvious care and attention put into the layout of the complex as well as the decorating of the space. I was immediately captivated by the beauty of the area and the people I interacted with were very nice. This place is at the top of the list in terms of beautiful venues
But, here’s why I wouldn’t have a wedding here.
* Disorganization — I called to arrange a visit and was greeted by a friendly voice who said she’d check with the coordinator and call back. A few days go by and no call. I call back the venue and the response I received was she couldn’t read her own handwriting so she never called me back. I guess she never thought to check the email I sent her. The tour guide was surprised they never even wrote down my information. It also took them 6 days to get back to me after the tour because the email was «stuck in the drafts folder.»
* Rescheduling tour for misleading reason — I was asked if my tour could be rescheduled a half hour earlier because of an event at the venue. I said that’s fine. When I arrived there were two other couples waiting around for the same tour. Apparently, we’re on a group tour. This was a first for me. I’d think when you want to drop at least $ 10K they’d have the courtesy to give you a private tour like every other venue I visited. Nope. Oh, and 10:30A rolled around, no event was happening. In reality, I was asked to have a different tour time so I could be part of the group tour.
* Inexperience — It’s pretty obvious they’re new to the game. I think they’d only been doing weddings for a year is what the tour guide mentioned. Heck, their website doesn’t even have a section for weddings. I would consider this a mom and pop type operation. Also, the tour guide didn’t seem to know how to address half of the questions asked.
* Layout — Although a 50+ step staircase looks elegant, I couldn’t imagine doing it in heels. That would be a long, painful fall. I can’t hold that against them. I can be a klutz. I believe the guide offered that flats would be best. Also, they don’t have any indoor plumbing near the wedding site, so everything is in white trailers. It takes away from the beauty of the manicured landscape.
* Portapotties — I couldn’t imagine my guests using portapotties at my wedding venue. Granted, the white trailer says they are luxury portapotties, which they are, but they still smell like portapotties. I recommend they build a bathroom. This glamping portapotties would be my ideal portapotty if I had to use one, but NOT for a wedding.
* The grounds — You’ll be walking around in dirt with gravel. It made my car a mess. It’ll make any dress, shoes and pants’ bottoms a mess. I’d recommend paving the roads
* False advertising — The website shows a barn. A beautiful barn. A barn where you could have your reception. This barn does not exist. It will exist one day. They do not know when this day will come.
* Dog running around — The dog ran around with the group on the whole tour. The dog was very sweet. I have some guests allergic to dogs and some unrealistically afraid of dogs. I love dogs, but I wouldn’t want a dog running around my wedding. Maybe the dog stays inside during the wedding, though. I don’t know.
* The groomsmen wait area — They’re in a garage. See below for more information about the garage.
I thought maybe this place would be better for a vineyard party. But, here’s why I wouldn’t have a vineyard party here.
* Small Tasting Room in a Garage — The tasting room is LITERALLY in a garage near the owner’s home. It has a garage door. It’s decorated and painted so it doesn’t look like a garage, but it’s still a garage and holds maybe 5 comfortably, at most.
* New vineyard — They’ve only been growing vines for 3 years. The free wine they offered us after the tour was from Santa Barbara.
In summary, this place would look lovely for Pinterest boards, but that’s about it for me. It does have lots of potential, so I hope they improve a few things as mentioned above, to be more competitive.

My nephew and his bride were married here in October. The venue is amazing and the owners superb. If you want to experience great service, they really do treat you like family!

Everything about this place, the owner, and the events coordination team is spectacular! This review is long overdue and I’m so glad to be taking the time to share what was such an amazing wedding — thanks to everyone involved.
I found this place through a wedding event group called Palmdale Estates Events. Their main venue was Palmdale Estates, yet now they have Nella Terra Cellars as their new event venue (as Palmdale will be closing sometime this year I believe).
I first met Lindsey who introduced me to the site and answered my initial questions clearly and was really available when needed. She connected me with Shanelle who was our day of coordinator as well as a huge support system along the way.
Shanelle was reliable, patient, really kind, easy to talk to, and came up with great ideas and feedback/​suggestions when needed. She was professional, but I also felt personally connected to her and I could really feel her genuine interest in making sure the wedding was just what we hoped for… and it was! Shanelle was extremely organized, detail oriented, and I never felt rushed by her in our meetings or phone conversations. She was always available and quick to respond, and went out of her way endless times to help us out and create a beautiful experience overall from beginning to end.
Brittany was wonderful as well! She was our ceremony coordinator, and although I didn’t work with her as much (not as big of a production as the reception in our case!) she was really great. She was patient and flexible with our rehearsal and answered my 50 million questions!
Jerry, the property owner was such a great man! He was friendly, personable, and accommodating in my many visits to the site (it was still in process of completing construction while we were planning). His hard work paid off — the site is absolutely breathtaking. So many guests were blown away with how beautiful of a setting it was, especially tucked away among the hills. You really feel like you escape the hustle and bustle of life out there, yet the freeway is so close by it makes it a very convenient location for your guests to get to.
Our wedding day was AMAZING! Jerry shuttled some of our guests down the path to the site and everyone loved him (unsurprisingly). Brittany made sure the ceremony site was set up just as we’d hoped, and helped our ceremony flow beautifully.
Shanelle made sure things ran seamlessly and came up with great solutions to anything that popped up along the way, peacefully and efficiently. The tables were set exactly as we’d envisioned and she even brought in cupcake holder chandeliers to display our bundtinis perfectly! She was calm and collected and made me feel so taken care of and attended to. She assisted in making sure we were somewhat on target with timing of everything (dances, bouquet toss, cake cutting, etc.) and was kind enough to bring me a fresh plate of food once I finally sat down (for the second time — I kept chatting it up with everyone!) without me even asking. She was graceful and wonderful to our guests and we really feel lucky to have had her be there with us on such an important day. Can’t recommend her, this group, and venue enough! I selfishly hope one of my friends chooses to get married here at some point because I’d love to come back for another event!

Nella Terra is a breathtaking venue with a staff that is passionate and knowledgeable. For weeks after our wedding, we received compliments from family and friends on how the venue was the most beautiful venue they’ve ever seen or how everything at the wedding was just perfect. We know that this perfection in the execution doesn’t happen by chance and that only through working with Shanelle and Veena were we able to host such a memorable event. Their level of detail is remarkable, dealing with issues small and large so that we didn’t have to worry about it at all during the event. The only regret we had with the entire process was not booking the extra hour for the wedding to run later.
Book Nella Terra if you want great event organizers, an unforgettable venue, and an experience you won’t regret.

This venue is unbelievable! Its absolutely BEAUTIFUL! We signed up to have our daughters wedding there when it was literally just dirt. We were confident that Jerry and Paulette were passionate and would have this venue ready for us.
My daughters wedding was last weekend 10/​11/​2014.
The venue was amazing! Wow! Shanelle was perfect! She guided us through the entire evening. She was calm, sweet and on top of everything. If you are lucky enough to book this venue, you will not be disappointed! After looking at over 15 Venues located in the Bay Area and Monterey, this is hands down the best!
We can not thank Shanelle, Jerry and Paulette enough for making this memory so special!

Amazing venue. Got married here last weekend. Warm breezes floated past us as we said «I do.» The wine flowed like water, the tent vibrated with passionate energy, and Jerry and Paulette ensured our satisfaction by building such a beautiful place!
Our guests were amazed that this venue exists so close to metropolitan Bay Area!
We loved it

It has already been 18 days since my fiancé and I said «I DO» and I still can’t get over how AMAZING Nella Terra Cellars was to us. I will start by saying that our wedding coordinator Shanelle Roesler has to be an angel form heaven! I kept hearing comments about how calm I was throughout the wedding process and months leading to the wedding but in all honestly it was because Shanelle brought me so much peace. Such an organized and on top of task young woman. She made sure to listen to my thoughts and desires and guided me in the best direction to make them all happen! During the time I would go visit the venue it almost felt like walking into home. She had constant communication with me and helped me out till the last minute of the wedding and even after the wedding. I am so grateful and thankful for her!
Moving on to the entire team, oh man, I cannot thank them all enough! I wish I could throw a big party just for them all. They work so hard! Shanelle and Veena at all times had communication with them all and made the tent in Nella Terra spectacular! I had a lot of decorations that I had made/​bought and they made sure to put them all where I had envisioned them. The entire team was organized from begining to end. I heard all good comments and not one bad comment form my guests throughout wedding day and up until this day when I run into family and friends that were at the wedding all I hear are good comments.
The food was amazing! as any bride on her wedding day I kept my meal small ;)
nonetheless the tri tip and chicken marsala were to water over. My husband is lactose free and the cooks made sure that he had a special plate made for him. All my vegetarian friends and family members had special plates made for them as well. They all made sure that our dessert table was set up and made it the cutest set up ever!
Because of Shanelle and Lindsey I was able to get a hold of our florist, the one and only Nona Tai at Floral Design Studio. She made every detail so beautiful and starting from the Gazebo during the ceremony up to the welcome table that Shanelle put up for me, to the center pieces in the beautiful layout of our tables, to our sweetheart table. oh gosh i am still in love with it all!
Let me just say that the entrance of Nella Terra is breathtaking. Walking linked to the arm of my dad hidden behind a burlap curtain and down the long and gorgeous steps of Nella Terra while the Mariachis waited for my dad and I to come down was a dream come true.
Standing next to my husband as we said I do with the lake in front of us and the noise of the waterfall was so peaceful and graceful.
Do not for a minute hesitate to make this your wedding day venue. The uplighting that Nella Terra provided in the awesome tent gave it all so much color. Walking out of the tent at night and seeing it was even beautiful in itself. The colors of the uplighting reflected in every part of the tent.
The wind outside makes it cool to take a break from dancing and sweating ;)
the tent itself during the night time is kept warm and cozy and none of my guest ever complained about being cold or too hot. it was perfect.
We had an open bar the entire wedding and the bartenders were the sweetest man in the world. They were there for us and our guests and it was noticeable. We had all night of Champagne, Modelo Especial, Nella Terra Wine which is so delicious! tea, coffee, water and plenty of beer for the entire night.
The bistro lights added such a special touch to the tent.
All I can say is THANK YOU to Nella Terra Cellars, to Shanelle, Veena, Brittany, and Lindsey who from the beginning to the end made our dream come true. Such a beautiful group of woman and such an awesome team. you will not regret choosing them to make your special day come alive :)
As soon as I get our pictures from our photographer I will make sure to post some here for you all to see their beautiful job!
SO AMAZING.
