From the moment that we stepped foot into the Madera Room at The Villa, we fell in love with it. Everything was so cozy, from the wooden beams across the ceiling, to the fireplaces on either end of the room. They also just so happened to have an October date still available, which sealed the deal! We booked in February....and then Covid hit. Planning a wedding during a global pandemic is a daunting task, but the staff at The Villa made it so much easier! Elizabeth, our wedding coordinator, was very communicative throughout the entire process, keeping us up to date with what the governor was saying, along with what the guidelines were at The Villa. We had to change multiple things due to restrictions, including moving from the Madera Room to The Tent outside. The Tent had a different feel from the Madera Room, but was still just as beautiful. We also were forced to significantly cut out guest list by more than 50%. Each step of the way, Elizabeth and the sales team helped us ... Read morefigure out what would work best for us and our day. The day of the wedding went off without a hitch. We had not only Elizabeth, but also had a bridal attendant and an event manager. The staff were always available for anything we needed, and quietly took care of everything behind the scenes. Despite all of the changes, we could not have been more pleased with our decision to have our wedding at The Villa. After speaking with our guests, many have agreed that it was one of the most well run weddings that they have been to, and that the food was phenomenal!

I knew Saphire was our number one choice from the second I stepped inside. The venue is gorgeous and more importantly the staff was so polite, friendly and helpful. Hillary Wesson made our experience what it was! She truly is a gem. She is the most hard working and caring person who truly wants to make your wedding day so special. I felt so comfortable knowing she had everything under control. She decorated the venue for us beautifully!!! The food is also outstanding. Our guests complimented how amazing their dinner was- especially the braised beef. I HIGHLY recommend Saphire for your wedding day. You won’t be disappointed!!

We were originally supposed to be married on 5/16/20 at Avenir (another SEG property) but with all the covid restrictions we had the opportunity to change to the tent at the Villa and jumped on the chance to finally get our wedding done! SEG was very easy to work with rescheduling our date twice during covid. We had to have a bit of back and forth about money when we changed from Avenir to The Villa, we had to drop our guest count down to 150 from about 180-200 people. 30 or so people does not seem like alot but it was hard for us to do and SEG at first was not willing to drop the price but in the end we were able to come to an agreement and I am so happy we did! We could not have been happier with the fact that our original wedding producer Sydney was able to move from Avenir to The Villa and continue working with us, having put in so much time and effort with her made the transition from venue to venue even smoother. When our guests did not arrive on time due to the transportati... Read moreon place “forgetting” to send the buses to get them she was very calm and cool during the crazy, she came to me with her plan and kept us on track while dealing with myself, parents and bridal party freaking out. She was a huge help in making my vintage wedding dreams come true, I decided to be the florist and decorator and when I dropped off all my diy stuff she set it up perfectly! I hate to do it since it was the wedding of my dreams, but if I had to point out any negatives from that day, the only thing was my groom has an allergy to strawberries and even though they knew this there was still strawberries on the cheese and cracker plate in the bridal suite that noone could enjoy so I was a bit hangry by the time the hors d’oeuvres were served! I am still getting compliments on the venue itself, the food and the service. I choose to originally go with an SEG venue since I have had multiple friends use them in the past and it shows why they are one of the best in the state at what they do. Thank you to everyone we had the chance to work with over the past 1.5 years during one of the most crazy times in all of our lives.

The journey of wedding planning was difficult for everyone during covid. All we could do was be patient. There were SO MANY CHANGES from having to postpone our wedding to constant changes to covid restrictions to it raining during our ceremony that was supposed to be outside. The Villa, and more specifically our coordinator, Sydney, were cool, calm, and collected. The ceremony in the tent was beautiful and we had the most amazing day. Sydney was the best part of working with the Villa. She was accommodating, supportive, and on top of EVERYTHING. The reception was a blast, the bartenders were phenomenal, and the food was delicious. Overall, we were very happy with our experience.

Our daughter got married on 5/25. The wedding was absolutely amazing. Everyone there could not do enough for us. The food was delicious. Our guests raved about the food, from the appetizers to the late night foods. I can't say enough wonderful things about the staff, especially Terri who made everything go so smoothly. Our evening here was perfect. I would highly recommend having your event here. Thank you so much to everyone who made Erin & Dave's wedding amazing. Lynne & Bill Couse

I had been planning my wedding since I was about six years old. I could not wait until my big day so as soon as my boyfriend, now husband, had proposed I was eager to make my vision a reality. Heather and the team at The Villa took my vision to an entirely new level in which I could not have done myself. I was above and beyond happy with absolutely everything. From the small little details like making the champagne for our toast PINK with no questions asked to the flow of the entire day. Heather was always in contact with me from the day that we had booked. I never felt overly stressed having her on my side. The weather happened to be iffy, which we had expected, so my husband and I got married in front of the fireplace in the ballroom. It was absolutely gorgeous, romantic and cozy. The time they had flipped the room was incredible and not one detail was out of place. Our food was delicious and each plate was delivered HOT which is a huge thing for me since I have worked in the food bu... Read moresiness since I was about 17. I would not have changed anything about our wedding and I can confidently say choosing The Villa as our venue was one of the best decisions I had made. I got my fairytale wedding with no hiccups at all! Great team of event coordinators, extremely professional and always polite.

Haley, Audrey, and Kristin went above and beyond to make our day perfect. From working with our outside vendors, dealing with our cancellations, honoring requested discounts, being friendly, kind, personable, sweet! Haley checked in along the way - before and after - she was an absolute angel !

Immediately when I sent a message to the Villa for my wedding, they responded. Their quick response time and amazing attitudes while talking to them made it an easy decision for me when choosing a venue! The place is beautiful and the people are amazing!

I cannot express how amazing the staff at the Villa was! They all were so attentive and accommodating! Our wedding was perfect the food was incredible all of our guests raved about it! It was overall and amazing experience and our wedding coordinator Hillary was fantastic! She made the planning process a breeze!

The Villa was amazing to us for our recent wedding 10/02/20! Very accommodating when we had to reschedule due to COVID. I first dealt with Haley and she was a pleasure to work with, then once we rescheduled we were placed with Hillary who was absolutely amazing!!!! Very responsive and so helpful with any small questions I had! We thought about cancelling our wedding and elope but everyone was so reassuring that we decided to continue with our original plans and have the 50 people at our wedding. The one minor little thing we were a little disappointed in was when our vendors were served dinner, their table was placed outside of the tent. It was a cold October night so I would have rather them inside the heated tent eating with us and our guest.

The Villa is a love at first sight type of place!! Truly it is, when my fiance and i walked in there we just knew we didn't need to look anywhere else. The Villa is a gorgeous and beautiful wedding venue and the food is amazing!!! The villa has by far some of the best customer service you'll ever experience they really go out of their way to help you and make sure that everything about your wedding day is exactly the way you want it. Our wedding has been changed to next year due to the pandemic and Jason Pratt has been helping us the whole way through and making sure that our dream wedding happens and that everything about it is perfect. Jason really went out of his way to help us in this tough time and I will forever remember that. Thank you Jason for being so amazing! Jason made this whole stressful situation doable i wouldn't deal with anyone else at the Villa. Truly amazing.

If you're in the process of looking for a venue definitely go with this one. You WILL NOT be disappointed!!! Every single person went above and beyond and made sure our day was perfect! Kevin was also incredible to work with and made our wedding planning/day of a breeze! And the food was beyond measure. I've never had such an incredible meal from start to finish. The ice cream pops were also a huge hit amongst every guest that attended. You will not be disappointed choosing the Villa!!!

My fiance and I decided to book our NYE wedding at The Villa and could not be happier! We are coming in from out of town and the Villa was more than happy to coordinate with us long distance. They were extremely responsive and made sure that all of our questions were answered. Our coordinator Elizabeth was the absolute best!! She helped keep us organized and provided helpful and honest feedback that made decision making far less daunting. Our ceremony, reception, and NYE celebration was everything we could have hoped for! Our guests are still raving about the food and the time they spent with us that night. I could not recommend the Villa to anyone more, especially with Elizabeth as your coordinator!!

Our wedding at The Villa was wonderful. The food was great, which was a major factor for us during our search process. My husband and I are known for our love of good food, so we would have felt slightly embarrassed had the food at our wedding been "typical wedding food." No worries at The Villa. We had the Stations package with which our guests were offered an obscene amount of food, all raved about (especially the mushroom ravioli.) The grand ballroom was fabulous...in fact, we initially became interested in The Villa because of the dark hardwood floors in both rooms (another, possibly unreasonable, mandate on my part) and loved the fact that chivari chairs were used for all weddings and included in all packages. The staff as a whole is very well organized and incredibly experienced. Our wedding reception went off without a hitch, due largely in part to the staff member's seamless work. We are also impressed at the venues flexibility and willingness to throw in complimentary items...
