Winter Wedding
We had an excellent experience with the villa from start to finish! The food was incredible, our wedding coordinator Serena was lovely and very easy to get ahold of for any questions we had. The venue itself is very clean and there is plenty of parking for all of the guests. I would highly recommend this location for local couples!
The Villa - Madera Ballroom
The Villa is the first venue that my now-husband and I visited when we were looking for a place to host our wedding. From the very beginning, the Saphire Event Group staff at The Villa were unbelievably knowledgeable and helpful, answering all of our questions even before we picked them as our venue. Once we picked the date and the wedding got closer, we were paired with our event producer, Daniella Cimino. Daniella was nothing short of exceptional throughout our whole planning process. She made sure that all of our questions were answered, that we felt confident in the timeline of our day, and made sure to go over even the smallest of details to make sure that nothing was missed. We truly cannot thank Daniella and the event staff at The Villa enough for their professionalism, attention to detail, and hard work to ensure our day was picture-perfect. The food was incredible, our guests are still raving about all of the unique options and how great their entrees were. We would absolutely recommend working with this venue, their team, and Daniella to anyone who is considering this venue for their special day.
We LOVE The Villa!
We absolutely loved our time at The Villa! Starting with the day we first toured the place to leaving the reception to get to our honeymoon, their services went above and beyond. Absolutely recommend the tent and the garden space right next to it, truly felt like a Pinterest dream. All this would have not been possible without Ellen, our wedding day coordinator. Not only did she keep things in check and on time throughout the big day, but she was super accommodating to our requests, knew how to work with our bridal party and guests, and showed an enthusiasm that allowed us to be even more excited during the planning process. Worth every penny!!!
Just Phenomenal!
If I could give 10 stars, I would! Absolutely amazing experience with planning our wedding at The Villa. Right from the start I knew I wanted to get married here. The team was phenomenal and always responsive to any questions I had. Ellen was our Event Producer-HIGHLY recommend! Planning a wedding is stressful, but she made the process easier! Becky was our day of attendant and she was THE BEST! Always right by our side to make sure we had everything we need. Holding an umbrella over me when the rain almost washed our day away. Always right behind me to help with my dress, always had a drink ready for me and my husband, just an amazing person and experience the entire day! 10/10 Team! Thank you Ellen, Becky, and the rest of the crew that helped make 06/07/2024 so special for us!
