My wedding was an absolute dream at JVW! Molly, the event manager, was amazing and helpful when I was planning my wedding. She was quick to respond and also helped talk through many things about the day so I could plan better. They set up the table and chairs for the reception, and advise you with your guest count how many tables are needed. I also told them how many chairs and they set all those up per table assignments so we did not have to do it while setting up other decor. They also set up all the other tables for you (food/DJ/welcome/cards&gifts), and steam all the linens. They do all the set up for the ceremony (chairs and if you use their arbor - decorations are yours to do). We booked for the weekend so we had overnight guests and stayed over night ourselves, the breakfast was delicious (complementary) and they provided snacks at the rooms which was great; I loved the snack choices and also some of them were made by the winery which I thought was a great touch! The venue is well managed (grass/landscaping was very nice) and there were always people there we could ask if we needed anything. They had people help park guests and golf cart service for some older family members. Finally, there was another wedding going on at the opposite end of the property and we were not bothered at all by their music or guests. One reason we chose to have our June wedding here was also due to the reception hall (Aisling Hall) being air conditioned. Our day was not too hot thankfully but the temp inside was perfect and the cake/cupcakes also held up due to this. It was a really great experience. The winery treated us, our guests, and our vendors with respect and made everyone feel welcome. As the bride, I felt there was plenty of communication with Molly, the order of events/questionnaire was very helpful (as well as the meetings I had with Molly), and I felt great when getting compliments about how gorgeous the venue was!!!
