Everything about this place, the owner, and the events coordination team is spectacular!! This review is long overdue and I'm so glad to be taking the time to share what was such an amazing wedding - thanks to everyone involved.
I found this place through a wedding event group called Palmdale Estates Events. Their main venue was Palmdale Estates, yet now they have Nella Terra Cellars as their new event venue (as Palmdale will be closing sometime this year I believe).
I first met Lindsey who introduced me to the site and answered my initial questions clearly and was really available when needed. She connected me with Shanelle who was our day of coordinator as well as a huge support system along the way.
Shanelle was reliable, patient, really kind, easy to talk to, and came up with great ideas and feedback/suggestions when needed. She was professional, but I also felt personally connected to her and I could really feel her genuine interest in making sure the wedding was just what we hoped for......and it was! Shanelle was extremely organized, detail oriented, and I never felt rushed by her in our meetings or phone conversations. She was always available and quick to respond, and went out of her way endless times to help us out and create a beautiful experience overall from beginning to end.
Brittany was wonderful as well! She was our ceremony coordinator, and although I didn't work with her as much (not as big of a production as the reception in our case!) she was really great. She was patient and flexible with our rehearsal and answered my 50 million questions!
Jerry, the property owner was such a great man! He was friendly, personable, and accommodating in my many visits to the site (it was still in process of completing construction while we were planning). His hard work paid off - the site is absolutely breathtaking. So many guests were blown away with how beautiful of a setting it was, especially tucked away among the hills. You really feel like you escape the hustle and bustle of life out there, yet the freeway is so close by it makes it a very convenient location for your guests to get to.
Our wedding day was AMAZING! Jerry shuttled some of our guests down the path to the site and everyone loved him (unsurprisingly). Brittany made sure the ceremony site was set up just as we'd hoped, and helped our ceremony flow beautifully.
Shanelle made sure things ran seamlessly and came up with great solutions to anything that popped up along the way, peacefully and efficiently. The tables were set exactly as we'd envisioned and she even brought in cupcake holder chandeliers to display our bundtinis perfectly! She was calm and collected and made me feel so taken care of and attended to. She assisted in making sure we were somewhat on target with timing of everything (dances, bouquet toss, cake cutting, etc.) and was kind enough to bring me a fresh plate of food once I finally sat down (for the second time - I kept chatting it up with everyone!) without me even asking. She was graceful and wonderful to our guests and we really feel lucky to have had her be there with us on such an important day. Can't recommend her, this group, and venue enough!! I selfishly hope one of my friends chooses to get married here at some point because I'd love to come back for another event!! read more
