December Wedding
We had both our ceremony and reception at the District Winery in early December. When we went to visit the winery, we both loved how unique the space was compared with other venues. It was not the traditional ballroom, high ceilings, chandeliers, rounds with tablecloths to the ground. It was warm, inviting, and rustic. Kat, our event manager, was assigned to us to execute our wedding. It was beyond helpful to have someone from the venue to assist. As the event got closer there were so many decisions to make, but Kat helped tremendously. One example was food - bride’s dad really wanted pasta, but it was not an option on the food menu. Kat discussed with the chef and made it a possibility. Although we did not end up adding pasta, the chef made a special plate for the bride’s dad (he was the only one who really wanted the pasta). Overall, we had a great experience from the bride and groom perspective, but also many of our guests commented on how nice of a venue and the quality of the food.
Phenomenal experience!
Words cannot express how grateful we are to everyone at District Winery, especially our coordinator Kat, for everything they did to make our wedding such a success. It exceeded our wildest dreams. Kat and the team were a joy to work with and made everything smooth and seamless from beginning to end. The food and drink were phenomenal, and the venue looked and felt incredible on the day of the wedding. Many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever attended and we certainly agree. We would recommend District Winery without reservation for any event and would love to host another event there one day.
The Perfect Hawaiian-Themed Wedding
District Winery is a gorgeous venue. The space is open and welcoming. The location adjacent to the river is outstanding. The wine is delicious. The food is unbelievable. Most importantly, the staff are kind, welcoming, supportive and flexible. Our team made it happen. Everyone told me that no wedding day is perfect. Ours was. And much of that credit goes to our team - led by Rhe - at District Winery.
Flawless!
We had our wedding at DW on September 1, and it was truly flawless. DW is such a well oiled machine and the night went incredibly smooth. It was such a pleasure to work with Latoria, Chloe, and Tori throughout the planning process. We had about 150 people with a band and it was the perfect fit. The room was STUNNING and the team was super accommodating with last minute changes and a huge wrench thrown our way on the big day. No one even flinched and they adapted beautifully. SO sad it's over and I wish we could do it again!!
