Clos LaChance Winery Reviews

CLC….. where could I start?? We have been searching around and visited other wedding venues. But the high deposits around $20k and so upfront was very discouraging. On our first visit at CLC, we were noted that the deposit was really reasonable depending on prime time wedding season or weekday or weekend. The venue itself has its own character and charm to it which gives it the “classy elegant vibes” (the words from our guest and people that saw pictures on social media networks).

Kristin Murphy, the VP of CLC and the person we will be emailing and bugging with our questions of worries. Her chill and calm attitude (also quick replies back on email) made the whole wedding planning stress free. She is soooooo chill and laid back, never demanded or seem pushy for our second payment, every time we would visit in person, always offered us wine. She made us feel like should could control the weather and make it rainbows and sunshine on ur wedding day lol

On our food tasting, rehearsal date, and on wedding day, we have “Hope”. On our food tasting, my fiancée and I had a blast eating all kinds of food, and we didn’t feel rush at all. The experience of food tasting for our wedding was one of highlights experience we had at CLC. Hope is also knowledgeable on past weddings at CLC and offered to give us tips on where we can save money. For example she told us we don’t need decor or flowers inside because everyone will be too busy dancing anyways and won’t notice them. On our wedding day, Hope was on site the whole time from start to finish, everything we learned on rehearsal was out the door I couldn’t remember nothing, but Hope reminded us how to line up and alway backtrack for us so we didn’t mess things up.

The FOOD…. The food and appetizers… is worth every single penny and more lol we got 5 appetizers and buffet style with salmon and New York steak strips. Our guest and family members still talk about days after our wedding. Don’t let the price of the food scare u off in booking CLC. Food and open bar is the way to go, and $2k limit on open bar was more than enough for our 100 guest. And yes people can get seconds of food is left lol

I could go on and on about how nice CLC is but I have picture proof. Don’t hesitate and think you are bugging them if u want to drop by and look around. I highly recommend CLC for your wedding venue if your date is available. Big shoutout to the chiefs and cooks on our wedding 04/01/23 and thank you to all the servers and bartenders as well. All super friendly and deserves 5 stars all around.

Just had my wedding at Clos a few weeks ago. The winery was just perfect for us! It is private, quaint and the views are just breathtaking. Absolutely beautiful venue! Kristin, the venue and wedding day coordinator, was also easy to work with and very accomodating. She was prompt with all email communications and answered all my picky detail questions. I emailed her almost everyday or at least 3-4 times a week and she always responded promptly and pleasantly. Highly recommend this beautiful wedding venue.

I am so happy that I had my wedding at Clos La Chance! I have always loved this winery, and as son as we got engaged we had it in mind as a possible venue. It was actually the first venue we went and checked out. From our first contact and tour, we were pretty hooked. We still went and looked at a whole bunch of places, but none of them compared.

After we booked, every time we had a question we got a fast response. And I had a lot of questions :) Everyone was helpful, patient, and pleasant to work with. As our day got closer, we met with Kristin about 6 weeks before or so. She was so helpful and nice to work with! She helped us make decisions, asked questions about what we were thinking, and explained everything to us. She was so professional and we were so impressed!

For the rehearsal on Friday and the day prior to the ceremony, Kristin was amazing. She was helpful and directed us when we needed it, without being in our faces when she didn't need to be. The ceremony out on the lawn was absolutely beautiful and perfect, just what i imagined. Dinner was out on the patio with twinkle lights up above. They set up all of our stuff exactly how we wanted it, it looked wonderful without me having to do anything the day of!

All the Clos La Chance staff were wonderful, nice, professional, and friendly. All my guests raved about the beauty of the venue and were amazed at how everything came together so nicely (thanks to Kristin, Hope, and the rest of the staff). The wine was delicious and they had a good beer selection. No hard alcohol is allowed, for us this was a good thing because we didn't have to worry about people getting too drunk, just fun drunk :)

The very best part of this venue is the amazing bridal suite. My girls and I were able to get there at 10 am and the hairdresser met us there so we could all get ready. We spent the day in the beautiful, peaceful space.... it helped me feel relaxed and excited for my day!

Clos LaChance offers an amazing venue and an extremely prompt and professional staff. Kristin Murphy is an absolute saint! She really helped to make our dream day run smoothly with your timeline in mind. They provide nothing short of excellent service to every and all of your guests!

In regards to the bridal suite, it's an actual apartment that used to be the owner's place to stay on site. It's fully furnished and you have full access to the bridal suite all day all the way up until your event is over. They have a fridge that they allow you to stock up for the day with whatever snacks/drinks you may want, a tv with cable (for any little ones that may need some distracting while the girls get ready), two bathrooms, and a full length mirror. The bridal suite over looks the venue and your ceremony site so you can see your guests arrive as you finish getting ready.

The approved vendor list helps for people with all budgets to feel as though they can still have the wedding of their dreams with dependable people at affordable costs.

The catering services that they provide is to DIE FOR! Their food is so delicious and they cook on site so the food is extremely fresh and ultimately delicious!

The only thing we were hesitant on was the need for a valet service. Their parking lot is small so they require that you book a valet service but the people on their approved vendor list is willing to work with you and goes based on the details of your specific wedding, which is nice especially if you're not having a gigantic wedding and don't have many guests driving themselves.

PS: Their venue is absolutely gorgeous for wedding photos no matter where you're at! Outside, inside, on the terrace--GORGEOUS!

Clos LaChance was the best decision we made for our wedding. The setting is absolutely beautiful - we never saw anything else that even came close. All our guests commented on how beautiful Clos LaChance was. We also managed to pick a date with a super moon, so I do recommend checking dates against the lunar calendar if it works for you! The bridal suite, available for getting ready during the day, is amazing and beautiful and just provided such a nice relaxing start to an incredible day.

Michele, the coordinator, is amazing. I was definitely a bride with lots of lists and plans and all that and having someone I could trust to help me on my day was incredibly important to me. Michele was always two steps ahead of me, both during the planning process and at the wedding. Anytime I needed to make sure something was done during the wedding, it was already done! She was also incredibly responsive with email, making us feel comfortable throughout the entire planning process. I can stress the amazingness of Michele enough and how much this added to our wedding experience!

I have absolutely no qualms about Clos LaChance as a wedding venue and would recommend anyone to get married here!

This is an amazing wedding venue! From the welcoming attitudes of winery owners Bill and Brenda Murphy, to the impeccable attention of wedding manager Michele Swensen, Clos LaChance delivers an exceptional experience. Every inch of the winery has been designed with special events in mind – spending the day getting ready with attendants in the elegant Bridal Suite was pampering and relaxing. From the grandeur of the lawn entrance and sweeping vineyard views, to the outstanding wines and the warmth of dining al fresco on the Terrace – every element provided the intimacy of being at a private Mediterranean villa! Clos LaChance is a one-of-a-kind wedding experience and exactly what we were looking for.

All of the staff at Clos are exceptional. They truly went out of their way to make our wedding a dream come true. This is a beautiful location to have your wedding ceremony & reception, we loved it!

What a beautiful hidden gem there is in Clos La Chance. It is a family owned winery. They make you feel at home.

This venue is breath taking and it needs very little decors to make your wedding day even better. The staffing team was very responsive and easy to work with! The food was amazing!!! The food coordinator is such a sweet lady!! Their wines are amazing! The venue is a perfect size and there are just some many ways to have your wedding there. Kristin was our coordinator and she really helped make our special day everything we wanted! Thank you!

The venue was beautiful and the service I received was great. Michele the coordinator was very attentive to all my needs. I would recommend this venue to any bride.

Clos LaChance is a beautiful venue but is quite pricey. We really enjoyed working with the staff there, and thought that they were all very courteous and friendly. Michele (the day of coordinator) made sure everything went smoothly for the wedding. All of our guests were definitely impressed with the site, and so were we!

The view here is beyond spectacular! If the actual place where your wedding takes place is high on your list, you can find no better! The staff was beyond courteous, making sure that on the day I had to worry about nothing, although I did not have a Coordinator. The wine is fairly good, nothing to blow your socks off, but all above average. Look to pay a lot here, but you definitely get your money's worth: people will come away saying how fantastic your wedding was for years to come. Word of caution, you must use their caterer and the food is not cheap (in money or in quality).

Incomparable/breathtaking views and facility. Loved that it's private and has a Provencial/garden wedding feel. It's a little more pricey than some. I am torn about reviewing it positively or negatively overall because in some ways they went above and beyond for us but in other ways I was disappointed on the wedding day because they didn't follow through on some things. I regret going with Michele Swensen as my private coordinator (although she was a third the cost of other coordinators but now I realize maybe you get what you pay for) because she also works for Clos LaChance and I felt that she was more invested in the site then my wedding party on the day of. Kristin, the owners daughter, did not give myself or my husband the warm and fuzzy, inviting feeling we craved.
