This venue was absolutely gorgeous and versatile. Our wedding turned out perfect, and the owners were amazing in communicating with us every step of the way. We had our ceremony at the terrace, dinner on the lawn, and dancing inside. I would have our wedding here again in a heartbeat.

Our drive up was good no traffic no idiots. The road up was windy so don't pull over like we did for some Macdonalds, you'll be sorry. Anyways 5 minutes into the drive, the road starts to get narrow and you begin to wonder if your going the right way. Signs are posted well in advance so you can't miss it. We pull up and Lane is there to greet us...WOW...WOW...WOW! At this point I'm not even out of my car yet. This place is huge I'm in awe; already picturing my day and that's a good sign! Lane leads us into the ballroom where I'm blown away with how the place is designed. The wood panel and finishes are done by her husband John. I stand in the room fighting back tears cause again I start to picture my big day. Lane sat us down to get to know us better. We had a very nice chat, Lane was very informative no sugar coating she gave us the whole low down. I now know what to expect. We began touring and each location was breathtaking I mean it! My head was spinning from all the beautiful sites Lane took us too. There were so many locations to have your ceremony and reception. Finally it was time to visit the Oak Tree Terrace...this location is what made me look into the venue in the first place. We walked up to the terrace only to yet again be blown away! Seeing my fiancé standing at the bottom of the threshold brought me to tears and at that moment...I knew this is where I'm getting married at! Lane was a doll she was such a delight throughout the entire tour, let the planning begin.

We chose MHE because it's an absolutely BEAUTIFUL venue (even in October) and the cost was very affordable for the area, but we were also big fans of their very flexible vendor policies so we could BYO whichever vendors best suited us instead of being stuck to a strict list. If you can we also recommend splurging for the onsite getting ready rooms which were the perfect addition!

The MHE team is very knowledgeable and you can tell they have tons of experience, so we loved the candid feedback they were able to share about past events and things that worked well or maybe not so well to help us plan. They have a list of their preferred vendors that come with very strong recommendations which was a great starting point, but we felt supported to go off-list and bring our own vendor when their list didn't provide exactly what we wanted.

Being from the area I had a lot of connections to family and friends that were able to provide wine & beer so it was great being able to find a venue in wine country where we weren't beholden to buying X number of bottles from them or paying corkage fees. MHE also gave us the flexibility to DIY our own decor and worked with us to help coordinate everything with our planner flawlessly! Top notch venue we'd recommend to anyone considering getting married in wine country.
