The Vineyards - Simi Valley, California

Stephanie Aguirre

We had our wedding at The Vineyards in mid-August 2024. From the initial venue search to the end of our wedding night, everything was well executed, and the entire team was fantastic to work with! We booked a year in advance, and although our initial wedding date was taken due to our extended decision-making, we found another date that worked. This just shows how quickly they book up!

We chose The Vineyards because of their inclusive vendor package, which made planning so easy. I’m not one for extensive planning and research, especially with a full-time job, so the option to pay a bit more and have the cake, DJ, photographer, and florist included was perfect! They also provided a list of vendors for each category, and I was very pleased with both their options and our selections. However, the main reason we chose The Vineyards was that when we toured with Soroor, it felt personal. We didn’t feel like just another transaction or a quick tour they had to get through on a busy weekend.

After we signed our agreement, Shadi and Soroor were there to answer all my questions for the year leading up to the wedding. I never once felt alone or clueless during the planning process. Every time we saw them in person, they were the kindest and happiest individuals.

Fast forward to the day before and the day of our wedding— we met with Deana, one of our day-of coordinators, and she was an absolute delight to work with! Leading up to the wedding, I warned Deana that my husband had never attended a wedding before. She was great at reminding us of everything we needed to do, where to be, and what to look out for. For example, for the garter toss, I didn’t think to prepare my husband— it seemed pretty self-explanatory. However, he walked out spinning his suit jacket in the air and tried to grab the garter with his mouth! I was hysterical because I had no idea where he got that idea from. He later told me Deana had walked him through what to do.

Deana also made a conscious effort to remind my dad several times to watch my dress and train after he handed me off during the ceremony, but he still ended up tripping and stepping on it. It was a good laugh, and afterward, we joked with Deana about how he still couldn’t get it right despite her reminders!

Later in the evening, I realized I had forgotten to put on my garter. At that point, I was a bit tipsy, and Deana came up and asked if I had it on. I admitted I’d forgotten but said I could go upstairs and find it— though I had no idea where I’d left it! Deana insisted that I stay at the reception, and she sent Shadi to look for it. I was ready to skip the garter toss entirely, but they found it and helped me put it on— mission accomplished!

Words can’t express how impressed we were with everyone at The Vineyards, including the reception staff, who ensured our drinks were always refilled and plates were cleared.

At the end of our wedding night, my husband and I both said the wedding exceeded our expectations and everything was perfect. We had a blast, and we owe it all to the incredible team at The Vineyards. I’m sad that I won’t be in contact with such joyous individuals anymore, but I would recommend them to anyone.

Also, the venue was a huge hit, and everyone loved how spacious the location was!

The Vineyards team did an outstanding job helping us plan and execute an unforgettable wedding. My husband is Armenian and it was really important for us to have components of a traditional Armenian banquet hall wedding. The vineyards team accommodated us by allowing set table appetizers, family style meals, and alcoholic bottles. They let my makeup artist come early to set up before the bridal party even arrived. The day of coordinator was fantastic and had great communication with our DJ, violinist and florist. In particular, we appreciated how the day of coordinator worked with the florist to set up our ceremony site and transitioned the flowers from the ceremony site to the banquet tables during cocktail hour. Everything was flawless the day of the wedding, and we did not hear about a single hiccup at all. I truly cannot say enough about how wonderful we thought. The vineyards team was. Moreover, the venue site itself is spectacular, taken straight out of a romantic novel. We loved everything about our experience with the vineyards.

We had our wedding at The Vineyards and we truly had the best experience. It’s not only beautiful and luxurious, but their service is top notch. We cannot thank Shadi, Soroor, Jimmy, and their staff enough. There are a few moments I want to share that showed us how awesome they are at what they do. Prior to the ceremony, my husbands tux had some wrinkles and Soroor went ahead and steamed it without us even asking. At the end of the ceremony, they had drinks for our entire bridal party and a cold towel for me since it was such a hot day! When we were running way behind schedule during the reception, they pivoted and made sure we got everything we wanted done on our list. Everything felt so seamless and any time I was stressed about anything they got it covered for me. All of our family and friends enjoyed their time and could not stop talking about how gorgeous our venue was, how delicious the food is, and how much fun they had. We are extremely happy with our choice of venue and would recommend it to anyone! Not once did I ever feel unsupported as they were there with us throughout the entire way of wedding planning. Every question asked was always answered. We chose The Vineyards not just by its looks, but because we can see that they genuinely love what they do. Because of that, we truly had the best wedding day!

Beautiful venue, great staff, fantastic owners! GiGi’s Playhouse Simi Valley held their 3rd annual gala at the Vineyards and would go back in a heartbeat! Thank you Soroor for your encouragement and support in helping us put on a great gala!

As the groom, I can not say enough about our complete experience at THE VINEYARDS! The staff were extremely accommodating, very patient with my wife and I. Every call, every email were answered in a timely manner. The venue itself is beautiful! The day of the wedding, our planners, Sorroor, Jimmy and Deann were wonderful and gave us their best! They were awesome with the greatest energy! Our family and guests all had a blast! It was the best wedding I went to and it was OURS! My wife and I will be forever grateful to THE VINEYARDS! We plan on stopping by in the future to say hello and thanks. We might even crash a future wedding...maybe yours! Just kidding. If you read all this, I promise you will not be disappointed! Future congratulations!

We had an absolutely gorgeous wedding at The Vineyards in September of 2024. I cannot recommend the venue and the lovely staff enough. Planning with them was effortless, and our day-of coordinator, Dina, was phenomenal. Even our guests commented on how well-organized and helpful she was. The venue is stunning, the food and wine is great, and the service and quality is top-notch. Truly a hidden gem in the greater LA area. I hope I get to attend a wedding here again as a guest someday!

I visited 10 different venues, looking for the perfect one for our wedding. We picked the Vineyards and it was perfect!
I love that the Vineyards is a family establishment. Shadi guided us through the wedding planning (included!) and she was a delight to work with. The wedding went exactly as planned and it really felt special.
The venue is beautiful. The reception area looks amazing as is, but you can add any flowers and decorations that you want. I highly recommend the garden for the ceremony. It’s a beautiful tableau and it felt cool getting married on a high platform.
The food is top notch. I’ve never had better food at a wedding. The vineyards hosts a tasting twice a year with all the couples getting married. It’s a fun event! You get to try all the entrees, appetizers, and drinks. You can’t go wrong, but we choose steak, hummus (clucking delicious), chicken&waffles sliders, and cheese platter.

Everyone was amazing! Every person encountered was polite, respectful, helpful and their only goal was to make the wedding a perfect day and boy they succeeded! The venue itself is like a little hidden paradise. It was clean, and beautifully manicured. Green and plush and very well taken care of. I want to thank EVERYONE for making that day perfect for my daughter and her husband.
