The Vineyards

I recently got married at The Vineyards, 5÷21÷16. I had a fairly long engagement, about 1.8 months. After going to numerous venues, I stumbled across this place and was immediately speechless. My experience here versus 15 other venues was day and night. Here, they treat you like family, sincerely care about your experience from day 1, before you even book. Here I did not feel like a number, I was a friend. I booked immediately and along with that came all of my nagging emails. Not once did Jimmy or Soroor make me feel that I was a pest, they always responded warmly and with all the info I would ever need. They seriously just made my day that much more special. Fast forward to the day of the wedding, they along with their amazing staff took great care of me. I honestly almost felt guilty, like they had already become part of my family and should be attendees, not working :). Anyhow, thank you for being such a partner in one of the biggest milestones of my life. Love you guy!!!
oh and the food was amazing!!! Guest still can’t stop raving about it. XOXO

What a gem in Simi. I tried the lounge night (Thursday’s) with a couple friends and it was delightful. Tasted some great wines and had the best kebab I’ve found yet in Simi Valley

Thursday night drinks and dinner has become my new mommy’s night out place. Menu changes weekly, drinks are amazing, wine tasting is great, and outdoor setting is gorgeous. Just the place Simi needs!

Waited 1 hour exactly for our drinks. The place was nice in & out but was very unorganized. I complained to people in charge of the restaurant and they gave us some free bees, but I don’t want free bees I can pay for my drinks and food. I heard lots of bad things about this place and now I see why it’s been under new management several times. It started off bad but I still managed to get the party started. Shot out to DJ. CAMEYO who kept playing all my songs. Get your $hit together and maybe this could turn out to be something to look forward to.

This place is gorgeous to say the least. We hosted our wedding here on Sunday and we were just so blessed to not only find this amazing venue but also have the pleasure to work with such amazing people.
We can’t thank James, Soroor and The Vineyards staff enough for the beautiful event they helped us create. From the moment we met with James and Soroor we were sold (not to mention the fact that there were so many raving reviews of prior couples). I know I was looking forward to soon being one of those couples!
James and Soroor were readily available, extremely accommodating and very responsive. Their service is unmatched to say the least. Their maintenance of the place was also very impressive. Thank you so much to James, Soroor and the staff at The Vineyards for helping make the most important day of our life so amazing. We love you all and you will forever have a place in our hearts!

I Just got Married on April 9^th 2016 here at the Vineyards. I gotta say this is the best place to get married it’s amazing and beautiful! The staff is amazing Soroor and Jimmy and all the staff are amazing. They treated us and the the guest like family ! I really recommend this place. Thank you so much for everything Deniss & Daniel

We recently attended a wedding here. The owners are very nice and helpful, and provided an iron quickly and happily when requested — they seem to have been in the business a long time and like they really care about their clients.
The garden ceremony site was lovely — it is down a paved walkway of greenery, a waterfall, and twinkly lights, which is nice. Ladies, be forewarned, high heels may be a bit tricky, though even the girls in stilettos made it up and down ok — I stuck with cute flats and had no issues.
The food was good to ok, but they should have provided at least one option for those with food allergies that was not marinated or processed.
The photographers took way too long during cocktail hour, which became cocktail two-​and-​a-​half-​hours, and the guests had a stationary table of fruit, cheese, crackers, and booze.
The deck was very nice to sit and watch the sunset on/​from within the trees during cocktail hour — lovely.
The dj was ok, but the speakers could not handle the frequency, so my ears were ringing during the latter end of the evening when the volume went up. Overall nice, but you may want to hire other vendors besides going with the ones they recommend as part of the package.

Vineyards is a fabulous choice for a wedding or event. The property is beautiful and everyone was incredible to work with. Thank you guys for helping make our fundraiser such a success!

The entire staff — Soroor, Jimmy, Angel, Danny, Maria — and everyone else in our 325-​person event created a welcome environment for our guests. As the organizer of the event, I took great comfort throughout the months of planning knowing Soroor was always available to answer questions, make (great!) suggestions, and offer options within my budget. The location is gorgeous, of course, but the team behind the location are equally fantastic. We WILL be back next year!

This review is for The Vineyards’ wine tasting every first Thursday of the month. My best friend and I went there last week and had an amazing time! The owners are absolutely wonderful and the ambiance is gorgeous! This venue is truly a hidden gem! Day or night, it’s absolutely enchanting! We had a fabulous night of delicious food, great service, and of course, good wine and company!

We had our daughter’s wedding reception at the Vineyards on 11÷28÷15 and it was absolutely fabulous. We started this journey at the end of last year when we met with Saroor and Jimmy who are the driving force behind this enterprise. They are so professional and fun to deal with that they made the whole process completely stress free. We went with the complete package and we were thrilled with every vendor that we worked with. The venue, appetizers, food, drinks, flowers, photographer, and cake were all extraordinary and the staff pulled it off without any stress to the bride or groom or any of the participants. I would highly recommend the Vineyards to anyone who wants to host an event to impress. Thank you to the entire staff for making our day a huge success.

The owners Jimmy and Soroor are amazing. We got married here in September and it was the best day of my life. They truly know the meaning of customer service and they do it right the first time. They cater to you throughout the entire process from planning to I do. They make it a point to completely take care of the bride and groom and make sure that they are having fun during their special day as well. Soroor is great and removed the stress from getting married. They really do have a class act here. All the of the staff is great. I don’t think you could ask for a better wedding venue. Besides the staff being amazing, the venue itself is gorgeous. Words can’t describe it. We fell in love with the moment we walked. You have to see it person.

On November 8^th, 2015 we had the most magical, perfect wedding that we could possibly imagine. And The Vineyards was a huge part of what made the day so fantastic.
I’m not even sure where to start when describing how absolutely phenomenal everything about this venue is. Visually, the grounds are stunning – gorgeous – a personal romantic fairytale come true. As beautiful as the venue is, it can’t top the beauty of the people who work tirelessly to make sure people have the wedding of their dreams. I can’t imagine our wedding being as special as it was without the staff of The Vineyards. Their care, love, and genuine passion made every step of the process a precious memory. When you’re not sad about handing over a large check, you know you’ve found something good.
The most telling thing I can say is this: I was ready to book The Vineyards after spending 45 minutes conversing with Jimmy and his daughter during a Bridal Show – before even seeing the place. I knew immediately that these were the type of people that made a wedding truly phenomenal. Jimmy, Soroor, and Angel worked closely with us, put up with our family’s eccentricities, greeted us with enthusiasm and welcome whenever we came to them, and were genuinely wonderful people. I felt like they truly took us under their wing and made us a part of their family. You cannot hope to work with kinder, more dedicated people.
This goes for the rest of the staff as well. Everyone involved with The Vineyards was warm, happy, and thoroughly competent at their tasks – though not too serious to not also enjoy themselves during the party. It’s really a sense of family, and it goes beyond just The Vineyards staff. The relationship they have with local vendors really shows how close-​knit and welcoming they are. Even the vendors were excited to learn they’d be working with the venue for our event!
The Vineyards truly does it all. It’s really the most romantic, fairytale setting for a wedding, and it was absolutely perfect for what we wanted. Their outdoor ceremony sites are both stunning (although the garden site is truly something special). The reception halls are beautifully decorated spaces that are welcoming and spacious. The lighting is naturally gorgeous & they offer lighting packages to make it even more customized. THE FOOD is amazing, which seems to be a hard thing to find out of a wedding venue. People are STILL talking about the meals we served (beef & goat cheese ravioli!). Their options are limitless (and everything tasted GREAT). They do appetizers, entrees, dessert bars – ice cream and fondue and coffee stations – everything you need to keep a roomful of people happy.
The staff worked with us every step of the way. It’s a very well-​oiled machine, so you don’t ever have to worry about anything going wrong. At the first sign of possible trouble, Soroor and her team are on it, sorting things out before anyone even notices. They were extremely hands on not only before our big day but on it as well – everything was fully staffed and the familiar faces we had spent months planning with were there, too. You truly feel well taken care of.
They also provide amazing packages that help keep the cost in check and don’t leave you wanting for anything. I can’t believe how generally unstressed I was throughout the process, and how fondly I can think back on every dealing with Jimmy, Soroor, Angel and company. They helped make our special day absolutely magical. We’re busy coming up with ideas for the next event in our lives that justifies a return to The Vineyards as a reception site. They’re absolutely amazing. Our friends are still talking about how great the day was, and I have a feeling my husband and I might never stop.

We got married at The Vineyards a few weeks ago and We can’t thank Sooror and Jimmy enough! They were so patient through the whole process! The venue is gorgeous and Sooror did an amazing job as our day of coordinator. Everything was just perfect, We would highly recommend this venue and their amazing staff for any event! :)

The Vineyards was absolutely amazing! The staff is even more incredible. Soroor handled everything. I didn’t even have to think on my wedding day. I didn’t really have a chance to eat because we were so excited. But all the guests said the food was amazing. I HIGHLY recommend this special to host any event, but especially your wedding. It’s worth every penny!

From the moment I set foot at The Vineyards and met the owner, Soroor, and her mother, Angel, I knew The Vineyards would become my wedding venue. The place had me in tears, it was so gorgeous. Soroor, Angel, the whole staff, they really took care of us and our guests. I got some feedback from several guests after the wedding that told me it was the best wedding they’ve attended and how much they loved the venue.
The Vineyards is gorgeous on its own. It doesn’t need much to make it look wedding appropriate. Just some pretty flowers to add a nice touch to what’s already gorgeous. It was so convenient to be able to have the ceremony at the same location as the reception. We had ours in the garden area which was pretty magical. The place has a lot of charm and perfect for wedding pics. Our ceremony was at 5:00 PM so we had beautiful lighting (September wedding).
I can’t say enough great things about Soroor, Angel and The Vineyards staff. She clearly only hires the best. Soroor made sure everything went smoothly and it did. Thank you so much Soroor, Angel and the rest of The Vineyards staff! You guys are seriously awesome.

This place is Amazing! The staff was on top of everything. The food was Great. The décor is Top notch. The wedding was ran real smoothly.

We had my son’s Bar Mitzvah reception at The Vineyards last weekend. Since then, I have received many calls from friends and family oozing was. We did appetizers outside on the patio overlooking Simi Valley. The rest of the evening was indoors and we were able to take advantage of the many spaces to be able to allow the kids to take up one room while the adults had the large room for a quitter evening.
The food at the Vineyards was fantastic. You would never think of it as «banquet» food and the chef is very accommodating. My son is gluten free and they were able to prepare an entire gluten free menu for the kids. We made requests for the adult menu and they handled all of them. In addition, the servers and staff go above and beyond expectations.
Soroor and James are the best. They held our hands every step of the way. We had so many special requests and they handled everyone of them without any pushback. The team at the Vineyards made this day the most special day in my son’s life.

«Wedding of the Century», that is our self-​proclaimed title for our wedding on May 30^th, 2015 at the Vineyards in Simi Valley. Other than an electrifying Bride and Groom, wonderful guests, great music, and amazing food the Venue is what brings it all together ties it up in a beautiful bow and presents it. All tied up neatly and beautifully in a «PERFECT» bow is how I’d describe our venue, The Vineyards, and the service provided by Soroor/​Jimmy and their team. And yes, I would use the phrase «Perfect» to describe it all. Every guest attended a great wedding, and left in awwh with stories to tell.
As for the Bride and Groom, we couldn’t have had a more perfect day & evening. Britney knew our schedule inside out and she executed it flawlessly. Britney made sure every need we had was taken care in a split second. And our guests were treated with equal love and attention.
The food, OMG, THE FOOD! Every bite was an explosion of taste on the palate and absolutely sinful! And that is just the dinner buffet. The presentation of the buffet was fit for a king, it was so beautiful that several guests were reluctant to touch it and disturb its beautiful setup.
Then there was the delightful, exquisite sweet tooth satisfying Desert Table. It was filled with Crunchy Cookies, creamy pastries, amazing ice cream and so many other delightful goodies that just thinking about them is putting me in a state of Sugar Coma. Thank god for the Persian samovar tea to bring me out of it.
I could go on and on about the beautifully amazing and one of a kind grounds at the Vineyards. How every corner you turn and every few steps you take you have to stop just to be able to take in the beauty of the place. I could write endlessly about the amazing food and it’s verity till I run out of ink and paper. I can name every single person on the staff and write a full paragraph on how professional they were and how they MADE our night for us and our guests, but, I have to stop eventually and let your imagination take over the rest.
We would NOT be able to call our evening, «Wedding of the Century» had we gone somewhere else. No hotel, no estate, no wedding hall, no other place would do.
From us to you, if you want to experience the perfect evening for your wedding and for your guests, you owe it to yourself to stop at the Vineyards and let Soroor, Jimmy, and the entire team help you plan your absolute perfect evening and bring it to life for you. You just have to for there is no substitute.

On my journey to wedded bliss I encountered the Vineyards. It’s a lovely venue with charm and hospitality.
Ceremony: They have two locations to hold your ceremony, the rock wall/​waterfall in the back patio. Very lovely, can get very sunny but they provide umbrellas to your guests if that happens. The second ceremony space is their secret garden. It’s very lovely but a bit of a hike to get down to. Kind of a nuisance if you have older guests or heels. Monique, our point of contact mentioned a golf cart to assist with this. The garden space is fairly small with chairs arranged on the grass and steps leading up to a gazebo/​altar. I loved the swing that they have in the secret garden, it would make such a great photo.
Cocktai Hour: They have an outdorr a garden type outside patio. It’s actually really nice. The grass is actually turf up here so no risk of sticky heels. Guests can also hang inside in the lounge area, which looks very similar to a club. Not in a bad way, just chic. I liked that guests had the option of hanging inside or outside.
Reception: The hall itself is ok, nothing extraordinarily charming. But still very nice. There were tinkly lights up and some huge candles which Monique said we’d be free to use if we liked.
Bridal Room: if there isn’t another event going on upstairs you have the option of using their tiny hall upstairs. Tiny for an event, but more than enough for getting ready. It had nice touches, but nothing exceptional.
Grooms Room: OMG… I wanted to switch. The grooms quarters are very nice and come equipped with a sound system. It has a bar in the middle of the room. I saw my fiancé fall in love with this.
They have little upcharges for lighting and such. Overall we really liked the venue. It has a great feel. But they don’t take CC. We’re putting everything on CC to offset the cost of the honeymoon (we have a really good rewards system). Going with them would have actually been too much for our budget without that return on our investment.
