We cannot say enough wonderful things about The Vineyards. From the moment we first saw the venue,…read morewe fell completely in love with it. There are so many beautiful options for the ceremony, along with a gorgeous cocktail area, elegant reception room, outdoor spaces, and welcoming fire-pit areas where guests can relax and enjoy themselves. The spacious suites were perfect for getting ready and having a quiet place to relax before the wedding and throughout the reception. Every detail of our September 18th wedding was executed flawlessly, and we truly could not have imagined celebrating anywhere else. The staff is the real reason to choose The Vineyards. They treat you like family and make you feel appreciated, valued, and special throughout the entire planning process and on the wedding day itself. They went above and beyond in every possible way and made us feel completely supported from beginning to end. There truly aren't enough words to express how much we love this venue and the people who make it so special. Our wedding was everything we hoped it would be and more, and we will always be grateful to The Vineyards for giving us such an unforgettable beginning to our married life. We wholeheartedly recommend this incredible venue to any couple planning their wedding.

If I could pick just one word to describe The Vineyards and our wedding day? Magical. I had…read moretoured many venues in the Ventura County area, but none of them struck me the way The Vineyards did. I had a really good feeling upon pulling up to the venue, as it was clear there was ample parking. Not only that, but the greenery is well maintained and it looks absolutely stunning. It's easy to see from any of the photos, but being there in person just doesn't do it all justice. Every corner of the venue is well thought out and beautiful. The lights and greenery that make up the archways just gave the place an enchanting feel. THE VENUE/PLANNING: I knew I wanted a "garden" feel for my wedding and having attended 2 weddings leading up to my own, those experiences guided some of the more practical criteria I was looking for in a venue: -indoor/outdoor options for weather consideration -More than 2 bathrooms/toilets -Getting ready area for groom (in a lot of venues, there's some kind of bridal suite, but Groom facilities are more hit and miss) -photo op areas (plentiful!) -Large parking lot The Vineyards easily met all of these parameters and more. Aside from the above, I do want to note the HUGE bridal suite area with couches, tables and its own bathroom. I did not have a bridal party, but this can easily accommodate 15+ people. There were also 2 "ceremony" location options to choose from (garden or waterwall), and distinct areas for the cocktail and reception. There are so many little photo op nooks around the grounds that your guests can walk around during cocktail hour and enjoy the vibes. In the planning months leading up to our wedding day, The Vineyards was always very flexible and accommodating. They have a portal system which keeps all the important information in one place, in terms of information that they need, deadlines, correspondence, food choices, etc. Our wedding was in February 2026, definitely with the potential for rain. The venue (and all my vendors) were right there with me tracking the weather to see how it would play out. Luckily, it did not rain (down-poured the next day though!), and we were able to keep the ceremony in the Garden area. They did have options available to move the ceremony inside in case it were to have rained, and they went over a few details in preparation just in case. As other reviews have said, they offer a "Vendor Package" which I highly recommend. There are multiple vendor options within each category, but it is a huge perk that these vendors have the familiarity already, and really know where things are at the venue. I was very happy with all the vendors I chose; I'm sure you can't go wrong with any of them. THE STAFF: We met with Shadi, who first toured us around the venue. She is super sweet and very personable. She gave us a lot of detailed information and answered all the questions we had. We had even asked to tour the venue at night and she absolutely accommodated us, and turned on all the features so we could really get an idea of what it would all look like. Everything there is even more stunning at night, when all the lights are on. Shadi ended up going on maternity leave before our wedding and we were helped by Soroor and Jim, who were also incredibly helpful in all the questions that I had. Soroor was there the day of as well and helped me with my outfit right before the ceremony started. Jim was also there in the morning to help with a few setup items. Deana was our coordinator for the day and she is an absolute ROCKSTAR! We briefly met her during the food tasting, but we really got to see her in action at our rehearsal. I could tell immediately that she is someone that is incredibly organized, detail oriented and absolutely knows what she's doing. She is always thinking of the couple and doesn't make you feel like you're just another number. She was with us every step of the way from the start of the ceremony, making sure we had food and drinks during break times, keeping us on schedule with wherever we needed to be, handling and corralling difficult family with grace, and just generally checking in with us and how we were doing throughout the evening. It can be an overwhelming day, but it really does fly by, and having her there to guide us through it all is a big reason for why our wedding went as well as it did. We couldn't imagine having a different coordinator to keep us comfortable & stable. She made us feel that if anything were to have happened, we would be able to deal with it, no problem. We interacted with some of the wait staff during the Food Tasting as well, and not so much on our actual wedding day, but I received good feedback from our guests that all were attentive, friendly and professional. I genuinely feel that the team at The Vineyards really does care about making your day the best it can possibly be. I know that my wedding would not have turned out as amazing as it did, if I had had it at

The appetizers were plentiful and there were mermaids at the seafood table. The ceremony was incredible under the chuppah and the bride and groom were beaming. They had a 10 member band belting out Earth Wind and Fire tunes. The dance floor was gathering a lot of moisture from the humidity so they kept mopping it between sets. The food service was slow and we didn't have our main course until 9:30 pm but who cares about the food when the out door area is so picturesque! It was a truly magical evening!!

We've been wanting to and had talked about it... but the day we went in and met Jennifer Frankel, we knew we had to join right then and there. Jennifer's awesome attitude embodies Wood Ranch. I have to also give a shout out to Glenn - the best Bar Master / Cocktail Chemist we've ever met. All in all, every employee here is stellar and they treat us like family. Wood Ranch was exactly what we expected - our home away from home; a place to make new life-long friends; and a place to go for an all-around great experience! Now where do I begin? The food? Ah, their new chef is incredible! The food is the best in Simi Valley with an ever-changing menu and top-quality ingredients. The drinks? Just ask Glenn and he will make it happen. He made Prosecco magically appear for me! The golf? The golf shop is well-stocked and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The course? GORGEOUS! I won't lie. It's a ball-eater... but it's also extremely well-maintained and gorgeously groomed. And as I've been told on several occasions - if I learn to play on this course, I'll be able to play anywhere! But wait! There's more! Let's get to the meat of my review here - it's the friendships we've made that are indeed priceless. I joined the ladies 'Pitch N'Sip' league and am meeting some of the nicest, most fun women I have ever met. Another shout out to Stephanie, Ingi, Rita, Julia, Mary, Debbie, and the rest of the ladies... Thank you for making me feel welcome and part of your Wood Ranch family :-) Whether it's live music for happy hour, or a 5-star meal overlooking the pristine golf course, or relaxing in the sauna in the Ladies Locker Room, or enjoying a book in the private room inside the Ladies Locker Room, or attending one of their awesome events (wine tasting! comedy night!), Wood Ranch is an incredible place and I highly recommend you join if you have the opportunity. Remember to say 'Hello' to me in the bar - I'm the one sipping Prosecco ;-)

If you were alive then, or younger now and learning about this time in our country's history, this is a once in a lifetime must do. Ronald Reagan's entire life history, his career as an actor, Governor of California, and then President of the U.S.A. is presented. But so much more. This time in our nation's history was well presented, the good and the bad is all presented. Lots of amazing artifacts, Reagans actual writings, historical speeches and his love of his wife Nancy is all there. But the coolest part of the tour is in the pavilion, they have the actual Air Force One jet President Reagan and 7 other presidents traveled on and you can tour the inside of it too, very cool! Also, there is the Marine One helicopter he used, a collection of presidential limo's and secret service vehicles. In the gardens is an actual piece of the Berlin wall and the burial place of President Reagan and his wife Nancy. My wife and I had no idea how big this place was, we got there at 10am and barely finished at 5pm when they closed. Plan to be there all day, we were wiped out when we finished.

Soltana's deft handling of the 25, or so, members of the wedding party, all while being patient, and with a smile, was more than reassuring to me, and the others as well. Her staff seamlessly underpinned the event. Her staff were professional, well trained, and just beautiful people. A live event can go "off" at any time. Soltana kept the wedding on track from start to finish, and all with that smile! I would, without hesitation, highly recommend Eden Gardens, and the amazing services of Velvet Alley Events. Thank you. A. Corrao
