My husband and I got married at Radonich Ranch in July. When we first visited the venue we fell in love with it's beauty and with Marky. Marky has a quality that makes her immediately become family. She was so responsive to us and answered all of our questions via the million emails we sent her. She has EVERYTHING taken care of and thought through, down to the smallest details. She cares so much about you and your day and it seems like it is truly a labor of love for her. We cannot say enough about how wonderful our day was, and it was in large part because of everything Marky and her team did for us. My biggest advice for anyone considering holding an event at Radonich Ranch is to not stress- Marky has it covered. We seriously cannot thank her and her team enough for pulling off the best wedding. read more

We got married at Radonich Ranch in July of 2017 and Vignette Events is the company that manages the venue for all of the weddings held there. They handle everything including the coordinating, rentals, flowers, food and non alcoholic beverages. The owner of Vignette is Marky Carr and she is the sole contact for all of the planning. She is wonderful and you won't regret choosing this venue/company to host your special day. Marky is a seasoned professional and you can put complete trust in her that she will come through for you! Everything ran so smoothly, the day was absolutely seamless. I so appreciated her attention to detail and making sure all of the decor was how I wanted it. The flowers were beautiful, the food was great, and all of the day-of staff was super helpful and professional. I really can't reiterate enough, how wonderful it was to have Marky as someone I could rely on to make sure everything was just right. It was hard for me to understand why Brides always say "You're going to want to have someone else take care of things the day of." I'm so used to being the planner that it's hard to let go of control sometimes, but I completely understand what they are talking about now. It's just an overwhelming experience and I definitely didn't have the mindset to worry about all of the details, and I didn't have to because of her. She is a star and I hope she continues to enjoy doing what she's doing for many years to come, so other people can experience the same kind of wonderful wedding day she helps make happen! read more

I don't even know where to begin. When we initially started looking for a wedding venue, the idea of managing the venue, the caterers and additional staff was all very daunting. Marky and her team take care of everything! Marky goes above and beyond for her clients and is truly a joy to work with. I was actually bummed out when the wedding was over because that meant we wouldn't be able to hang out with her anymore. Marky is a very kind, caring person and that shows in her work. She prepares the food, the flowers, the table settings and more. We didn't have to buy a lot of decorations because she had so many better options that were left over from prior weddings that matched our decor, rustic & vintage. Not to mention that the Ranch doesn't need much decorating to begin with, the venue has beautiful willow trees and the fountain made a beautiful setting for photos. Marky was kind enough to make our boutonnieres and bouquets because we had a small wedding party. Her attention to detail can be surprising at times, she found some string off a chocolate box for the boutonnieres that was so lovely compared to the ribbon I found at Michael's. She knows what she is doing and has a great time while doing it. If you have the opportunity to have your wedding with Marky, you should absolutely take it. It was the best decision we made for our wedding. read more

We did a wine-tasting here, and the grounds are perfect for a wedding, with the barn, spacious areas, wedding lights, weeping willow trees, and the pond with the essential water fountain that adds the pleasant white noise and aesthetic value that might otherwise be too static. I would get married here. (Don't tell my wife) read more

My husband and I got married at Radonich Ranch in August of 2018. The second we reached the property and met Marky, we knew this was the perfect place for us to get married! The venue is exceptionally beautiful-especially the ceremony spot in the shade with the willow trees as a backdrop. We couldn't be happier that we chose to get married here! Marky was a blessing for us during our planning. She helped us every step of the way and really listened to us. She has an incredible eye for decor and we absolutely loved all the thoughtful touches she put into our wedding. We brought alot of our own decorations, and Marky took them all from us and set them up more beautifully then we could have imagined! She is always calm and friendly-my whole family loved her! She did a great job keeping the flow of the wedding going, which was more helpful than we could have imagined. Also, the food was amazing! Thank you Marky for all your help!! read more

I can't say enough about this venue or Marky who runs the show. If you are looking for a rustic out door venue this spot will literally take your breath away! Marky has put so much love into this venue and will do the same for your big day. Marky will spend as much time with you as you want to ensure that your day is just how you want it. She is so helpful and makes everything so easy. She kind of does everything. Chef: Everything she makes is local and farm fresh (the guests were raving about the food). Event Planner: Marky met with us several times to go over decor, time line, vendor recommendations etc. She was always so encouraging of our ideas and helpful in making them a reality. Every time we met she had tea warm and some yummy treat. She made the visits so fun! She genuinely wants you to have the perfect day. Over the years she has collected some of the most amazing vintage/rustic decor which she offered at no additional expense...she even offered to bring in additional decor from her home! Florist: As part of the package Marky even provides flowers that she picks up from a local market and arranges! Getting married at Vignette was everything I hoped for and more! read more

My son and daughter in law were married here in October, and it was amazing! From the first time we saw the property and met Marky, we knew we were in the right place. Marky has this zen, calm, yet "can-do" demeanor that is so comforting, particularly on a wedding day! The food was outstanding, and the compliments flowed all night. Thank you Marky and staff for making this day perfect for our family! read more

I can not imagine my wedding day being any better, and that is all thanks to Marky and her effortless way of making you feel comfortable while she runs the show without even looking like it is work. Radonich is absolutely beautiful, I am still (four months later) getting comments on how beautiful the setting was. Marky does it all! The decor was exactly what I was wanting, and I felt like I barely had to explain anything to her and she got it. The food was amazing, and i have quite a few foodie friends. The staff was courteous and easy going. The flowers were gorgeous, and what a perk to have that included! Marky always went a step beyond to make things just right. Just being with her and you felt your stress melt away. I wish I had another reason to throw a fabulous party just to be able to work with Marky again and be in the environment at Radonich. read more

My wife and I got married at Radonich with Vignette running the event. We got a lot of "best wedding ever" reviews from attendees. It's hard to overstate how awesome Marky is -- you'll see in other reviews that she and her staff will create amazing food, beautiful floral arrangements, and just a great atmosphere, and that was definitely our experience, as well. But there were also little things that made it more than just an event space, and took our minds off the stress of throwing a big party and made it a day everyone could enjoy. Example: One of my jobs was to figure out what we were doing for boutonnieres for me and a couple of other male family members. I basically dropped the ball on ordering them in advance, so my wife and I decided it didn't really matter all the much. (We had bigger fish to fry.) But when we showed up on the morning of the wedding and Marky noticed we didn't have any boutonnieres, she just whipped some up from the left-over flowers in her magic flower shed. It was really thoughtful, and illustrates both her attention to detail and her genuine desire to make the event great. Advice: Let Marky do her job -- she's a pro, she has great taste, her staff is sharp, and she won't lead you astray. Also, hire "Bill the Oyster Guy" to come and shuck oysters for your guests. You won't regret it. read more

I had my wedding at Radonich Ranch in September 2014 and Vignette events made the day go off without a hitch. Marky interpreted what I said I wanted and made it 10x better than I could have wanted. Every detail I asked for was set up plus more! She is gifted in the floral department and made the centerpieces and other arrangements exactly how I described (ok, not exactly, MUCH BETTER). Everyone is still raving about the food. Every day I get a new compliment about my wedding and I attribute it all to Marky. read more

When my husband and I parked at Vignette (Radonich Ranch) we knew that we had found the perfect location for our wedding, but what really sealed the deal was Marky, the venue manager. She was so amazing and helpful. I cant even describe how beautiful the grounds were for our wedding. She was right there to help with every little detail and we really appreciate it. I couldn't be more happy read more

Wedding perfection! Marky was a dream to work with. I emailed her throughout my entire engagement to make sure I felt 100% about the big day. The weekend before the wedding she called me asking if I had any questions for her. I was so touched that she made time to call me and of course we had questions. The food was really good and I wish I was able to eat more! I loved that she gets her produce local, making it all super fresh. They way her team set up the whole venue was perfect. She has so many odds and ends for decorating that it helps give the venue well rounded feel. Nothing feels out of place or odd. It gave the wedding a backyard, homey, vintage feel. If you want a low stress, easy way to plan your perfect outdoor wedding consider Vignette! read more

Marky Carr, Radonich Ranch and their entire staff is amazing! I was the type of bride that didn't want to fuss over the "little" things and truly wanted to enjoy my wedding day. I was able to trust Marky entirely and had no worries that she would deliver. Marky and the Radonich Ranch venue surpassed our expectations with the most perfect wedding day. We were married here in November (2014) and the weather was surprisingly perfect. We couldn't have asked for a more memorable day to spend with family and friends. The location is in the middle of nowhere and can be intimidating to drive to when dark, but this place is worth every penny. Marky was able to not only provide a deliciously seasonal and organic menu, but spectacular décor to our day. I didn't have to worry about food, decorations or even floral centerpieces because it was all taken care of by Marky. She is exceptional to work with and is very knowledgeable. Plus, while we were deciding on a photographer, we mentioned to Marky about our sticker shock and she was able to suggest a talented as well as affordable photographer for our day. Fantastic!!! I also learned that Marky is a very keen listener! During our initial meeting with her at the site, we said in passing about how our family would love to see sauerkraut on the menu. (Please keep in mind, this was not in the least bit a request!) Come our wedding day, Marky was kind of enough to have locally-produced sauerkraut alongside our appetizers. What a sweet lady! Book this place if you can and find yourself in stress-free mode...Seriously! read more

Words cannot express how appreciative we are and how fortunate we feel to have had the opportunity to work with Marky and her entire team. If you have the opportunity to meet with Marky, there is no need to look any further. We left our initial meeting with her and canceled all other venue meetings and booked our date with Marky later that day! She is so talented, has such vision, the biggest heart, and makes your wedding day feel even more special than you could ever have imagined or hoped for. Marky and her team make the best food (our guest still rave it was the best wedding food ever) and arrange the most gorgeous flowers for center pieces and around the property. Marky even surprised us with flowers down the isle that made the ceremony even more beautiful! We were able to use a lot of her decorations and were able to bring in others that she set up around the property perfectly. Her team was outstanding the day of and went above and beyond to take care of us and our guests! It I could give more than 5 stars I would, Marky and this venue was perfection. Could not have asked for anything more. Thank you, Marky! read more

Marky and Vignette Events made our wedding! The food was absolutely to die for and the service was superb. I found Marky through a web search and after our first meeting I knew she was the person I wanted to work with. I was originally hesitant since they do not offer food tastings, I spoke with several of her past brides and determined that there was nothing to worry about. Fast forward to the day of and everything was absolutely fantastic! The food was some of the best I've ever had in my whole life. Every single one of guests are still raving (almost a month later) about how delectable the food was. Marky is a dream to work with! She responds to e-mails and phone calls quickly and helped me resolve several wedding concerns that arose shortly before our big day. We booked our venue almost 2 years in advance and she was kind when answering all of my nervous bride questions. One thing that drew me to book this vendor was that she included all of the reception décor (flowers, table linens, and rental items). This was a huge plus. If I had to do everything all over again I would book Marky and Vignette for sure! Marky's day of serving staff were also fantastic they were attentive and kind to all of our guests. Thank you Marky and Vignette! You made our wedding a dream come true! read more

What can I say, I have worked with Marky as an officiant at her venue, but this is a first for being a client. My daughter and fiance loved the venue, but Marky was the deciding factor! She was always pleasant, responsive to our questions and the food was excellent! The staff was very efficient, courteous and made things move so smoothly! Our guests made many compliments about the venue and the food! I would definitely recommend. Marky just makes you feel confident that everything about your big day will do right!

Marky and Vignette were amazing for our Radonich Ranch wedding August 2014. When we saw the site online, we knew it was the place for us. We loved the concept of local food and an outdoor location- and Marky made both amazing for our day. I could copy and paste from the other reviews- lots of guests saying that the wedding was perfect, beautiful, and delicious. It couldn't have been any better- all thanks to Marky. We had some special requests, but mostly let Marky do her thing- because what she does is just amazing. Since we weren't having a wedding party, Marky was able to make my gorgeous bouquet to match the stunning table arrangements. My mother put together arrangements for the aisle, and Marky helped to perk them up in the heat right before the ceremony. She really went above and beyond to help things go smoothly. Marky meets with you months ahead of time at the venue to put together your event plan and then takes care of so much behind the scene that you can just relax knowing that she will handle it. She was accessible to answer whatever questions we had. She was also a great sounding board for ideas that we wanted to incorporate into our event and made some of them happen. After a photography mishap (having nothing to do with Marky and Vignette), we got a new photographer (Erik Schappert was great!) who offered to have our re-takes at Radonich Ranch again. We knew she was still super busy with weekend events, but asked Marky if it would be possible to use the venue once more to "recreate" our day and Marky made it happen. We truly appreciate her willingness to allow us to use the site once more so that we could get a picture of the two of us. We cannot thank you enough Marky, for making our wedding unforgettable. [If you're going to be at Radonich Ranch, we also recommend Los Gatos DJ Company, Tom of Mill's Wine Group, Megan Maier Beauty & Fashion Services, Susan Maier and Roberta Nespole at Salon Nuvoux, and Erik Schappert who are in the area and lovely to work with.] read more

Marky and her team are nothing short of remarkable. The Radonich Ranch venue is both rustic and timeless in its beauty. It fulfilled my bride's vision of an intimate setting for our small-ish wedding: the setting had character and charm, the food was remarkable, the servers attentive, and Marky was incredibly supportive and involved throughout the process. It's apparent she's passionate about the work she does, treating her clients as she would want to be treated if it were her own wedding. Honestly, she was as much of a find as the venue itself. I highly recommend you consider Marky and Radonich Ranch for your big day. read more

Marky and her team were absolutely fantastic. The venue for our June wedding was incredible, guests are seated in the shade for the ceremony which we were told was a huge plus over other weddings, the food was fantastic, and the venue's size made the reception after great for us to greet our guests without getting to spread out. Even the quaint planning meeting with just Marky, us and the MOB in the winter at the ranch, with a hot cup of tea around the 1900's stove while the rain was hitting the tin roof was memorable. Our photos were so beautiful at this venue, every angle created a special backdrop. read more

Marky is absolutely amazing! I loved working with her from the beginning and she made our wedding exquisitely charming and special. Her aesthetic is right-on. She has wonderful attention to detail. Her food is delicious. And, of course, Radonich Ranch is a beautiful setting for her talent. read more

Our wedding was absolutely perfect, primarily due to the amazing work of Marky Carr and the gorgeous setting of Radonich Ranch! Thinking back to our day, we literally would not have changed a single thing. Everything was spectacular.... the planning process (Marky is such a gem!), the delicious food, the breathtaking venue and the ability for us to really customize our entire event. We are so lucky to have found such a unique place. I absolutely recommend Radonich Ranch and Marky Car without hesitation! read more
