the BEST decision we made!!!

We truly don't have enough good things to say about District Winery. They were actually the only vendor we ended up visiting, because we knew right away that it was THE place to get married. Having really good food was important to both of us, and if that's important to you, there is no better venue. The appetizers are some of the best we have ever had, and people tell us how amazing the cocktail hour was several months later. The dinner was beyond incredible, and our guests loved the elevated family style with bowls of salad and sides on the table so guests could help themselves while the entrees were served. We had 3 options for entrees, and guests were able to take as many as they wanted. The hardest part of getting married at DW was choosing between all the amazing food options! Several guests have told us that our wedding had the best wedding food they've ever had.

On top of that, the venue itself is beautiful with views of the river and a heated patio. The bartenders were amazing, and developed a rapport with our guests to the point that they remembered people's drink orders or came up with drinks on the spot based on what guests said they liked.

We had about 120 guests, and the room easily accommodated our wedding size without feeling too empty. The room is beautiful on its own, and it's not one of those venues where you feel like you need to add a lot of florals or expensive decor to make it feel elevated. Finally, the staff and event planners were amazing and completely committed to making sure we had the day we'd always imagined. Getting married at DW was the best decision we made!

A perfect Hawaiian-Themed Wedding

District Winery is a gorgeous venue. The space is open and welcoming. The location adjacent to the river is outstanding. The wine is delicious. The food is unbelievable. Most importantly, the staff are kind, welcoming, supportive and flexible. Our team made it happen. Everyone told me that no wedding day is perfect. Ours was. And much of that credit goes to our team - led by Rhe - at District Winery.

100% Recommend

We had our wedding at DW on September 1, and it was truly flawless. DW is such a well oiled machine and the night went incredibly smooth. It was such a pleasure to work with Latoria, Chloe, and Tori throughout the planning process. We had about 150 people with a band and it was the perfect fit. The room was STUNNING and the team was super accommodating with last minute changes and a huge wrench thrown our way on the big day. No one even flinched and they adapted beautifully. SO sad it's over and I wish we could do it again!!
