We had our wedding ceremony and reception at Villa & Vine in October and I couldn't recommend it enough! Everything ran so smoothly, especially the transition from ceremony to cocktail to reception. The team did an incredible job doing the flip of the courtyard and making my pinterest inspo come to life :) The wait staff was so attentive and always made sure we were taken care of & had what we needed. The food was incredible and we received so many compliments from guests on how much they loved everything, from the food to the venue space. Thank you to all the V&V staff on making it such a memorable evening. We are so happy with how everything turned out -- I couldn't have pictured a more perfect venue for our intimate wedding celebration.
