La Grande Estates – Weddings & Fine Events Venue

The best decision we ever made was choosing La Grande Estates for our wedding! It’s such a beautiful and affordable venue, and Mama-T and Renee were absolutely amazing from start to finish. Their attention to detail and great communication made the entire planning process stress-free. On our wedding day, the temperature reached a scorching 105 degrees, and Mama-T and Renee went above and beyond by renting large cooling fans last minute to keep everyone comfortable. That thoughtful gesture among others truly showed how much they care. We are forever grateful for an incredible experience and the genuine love and hospitality they showed us. We truly felt like family. Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!

If you’re still venue shopping you can go ahead and stop your search and sign contract with La Grande yesterday because you have found it!! I can’t say enough good things about La Grande, Renee, her daughter Kendra, and the entire La Grande team. From the moment we met Renee, we instantly felt like family. I’m an extremely type A person, down to I made a 112 page wedding binder for this wedding, and Renee didn’t even bat an eye, but instead loved it and followed it to a T to create our absolute dream wedding! The attentiveness, attention to detail throughout the course of an entire year, the tasting months before, and just everything makes you feel like not just family, but you’re the star of your own rom com. Renee always got back to us in a timely manner with our endless questions, with excitement, encouragement, and a level of safety in no judgment of your decisions, only support. Now for the day of, legit all my visions and dreams came true thank to the team. Renee keeps the day running smoothly, organized, encouraging, and almost feels like a second mom genuinely happy to witness and be a part of your wedding. She also helps keeps your family/bridal party in check which we loved given some issues in that department. They also take care of you, down to bringing us fans at the sweetheart table, constantly checking in on us, and having a freshly made drink whenever we sat down. We felt like true celebrities. Now a moment for Kendra. Before I walked down the aisle, I was having a minor panic. Had to kick everyone out of the bridal suite to breathe and calm down. Kendra grabbed me, and took me on the golf cart to walk down to my I dos, and was so kind, encouraging, and shared the most meaningful words before the biggest moment of my life. I’m so thankful for that moment because it truly showed what amazing people they all are and how much they truly care for their couples. Now being a newlywed, I’m actually kind of sad the whole process is over because it was THAT good, down to telling my husband we should plan a 1 year vow renewal back at La grande, or even our future photoshoot. Because I truly can’t get enough of how beautiful, and amazing this venue is. I’ll forever be grateful for La Grande, Renee, the entire team and everything they did for us. You WILL NOT regret having your party, or more importantly your wedding here. Thank you so much!!

We had the most incredible experience at La Grande Estates! The entire team was extremely professional, and our wedding coordinator, Renee, was exceptional. She was on point with every little detail and handled a couple of minor issues with other vendors flawlessly—keeping us informed only when necessary, ensuring the itinerary flowed seamlessly. Renee truly exceeded our expectations; she felt more like family than just a coordinator. The staff was attentive and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. The tables were set up beautifully, far surpassing our expectations, and all our guests couldn’t stop raving about the stunning venue and how well-organized everything was. The food was delicious, with plenty for everyone, and guests could even go back for seconds if they wanted. Overall, it was truly the best day ever, made extra special by the remarkable team. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, memorable wedding day without the stress. Thank you for making our wedding day absolutely perfect! Thank you, Mr. & Mrs. Quintanilla

Our wedding was perfect thanks to Renee and her team. She is an experienced coordinator and was on top of everything. All my guests commented how organized everything was and how the day ran super smooth. She and her team did all the decoration which was beautiful and just how I wanted it. The food omg it was so delicious, every single person loved it. Our ceremony was beautiful, the place, the weather, the sound of the water in the background, couldn’t have asked for something better. All the staff was very friendly and made us feel so special. I’m so happy I found this place. Thank you Renee for making our dream wedding come true 🤍

Originally, I chose La Grande for two simple reasons, one - it has a tent, fulfilling my dream to have a Harry Potter themed wedding under the tent, two - Renee and her team were straightforward and communicative. It turns out La Grande is more than just my venue! When Renee said I do not need a coordinator, I was a bit suspicious.. But Renee and her team achieve above and beyond expectations, as my venue designer, coordinator, food caterer, bartender... As the bride with a packed schedule on wedding day, Renee is the one that helps coordinate every single detail among different vendors, bridal party, and the newlyweds. She made sure I am not pushed or rushed, but reminded of the time. If time is running out, she would tell me "we will do whatever you want, it's your wedding" to encourage me to make the call rather than force me to make a decision. Having a patient, detailed person like her executing everything perfectly right is so rare even for a dedicated wedding planner. Her daughter, Kendra, is the master brain behind the venue design. Kendra is just as communicative, straightforward and creative as Renee. I shared with her my vision of the wedding, the color theme, and she quickly shared mock up photos of the ceremony site, dinner table design with me. We have all design elements finalized within 1 day. Last but not least, as a venue, La Grande is sooo versatile. The main property has classic, vintage design perfect for the bridal party to rest, take "get ready" photos; the backyard is elegant for first look. Front yard with sunflowers and the Tuscany house design looks like a scene in Game of Thrones. The emerald-like lake has ducks and geese, a fountain, amazing for sunset photos! There is even a vineyard on the property. All our wedding photos are taken on La Grande, yet it looks like we have been all over the places in  the Bay Area. La Grande already has such high reviews, but still wanna share how great the team works well with us throughout this journey. My guests were asking me all about La Grande during the wedding already!! And I cannot wait to write this review and let more people know about this amazing venue, not just for weddings, but for any parties you wanna host!
