Gorgeous Wedding Venue!

We toured Scribner Bend last November as a wedding venue option and immediately fell in love with the venue!!! We were looking for a venue that was intimate yet romantic and this venue checked off all of our boxes. The romantic, garden-esque setting is absolutely stunning and was everything we dreamed of for our wedding. From start to finish, working with the Scribner Bend team was such a breeze and truly made wedding planning fun and stress free. When we first booked, Shaye was the wedding facilitator and she was absolutely fantastic to work with. Later, we got to work with Hillary, their new wedding facilitator and she was just as amazing! So attentive, quick to answer questions and always accommodating of any last-minute requests. They really have such a well-oiled team and their amazing list of preferred vendors made the entire process seamless. We were married on a Friday which meant we had the wonderful bonus of hosting our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner at Scribner the night before. It was such a fun, easy experience and set the tone for the big day. Paesanos, their in-house caterer was fantastic (separate review) and they provided us with delicious wood-fired pizzas and two salads for our rehearsal dinner. All of our guests were raving about how good it was!! On our wedding day, we had access to the Bungalow for getting ready and wow!! it is such a beautiful, charming space. My bridesmaids and I loved spending the morning there. It has two make up stations that had great natural lighting and is great for making tiktoks! The guys had the Airstream, which was really unique and fun, though on our 100-degree wedding day it was a bit stuffy since the AC couldn't quite keep up (which is understandable for an Airstream!). Still, it was a cool and memorable space for them to get ready in. I cannot rave about Scribner Bend enough. The grounds are gorgeous, the staff is phenomenal and they truly helped create the most magical and smooth wedding day for us. I'd highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a romantic, beautiful and well-supported place to say I do!!!!

My original plan (covid) did not include a winery, but I am beyond glad that when we did our vow renewal we stumbled upon Scribner Bend! It was a beautiful venue when we toured it and even more magical for our event. All the staff were kind and I never had to worry about anything. Everyone said that they absolutely loved the wedding and I know for a fact that being at Scribner was a big part of that!

Scribner Bend Vineyards was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the moment we started planning, their communication was quick, detailed, and thorough, putting us at ease throughout the process. On the day of, they truly were a well-oiled machine, taking care of everything so we could fully enjoy ourselves. The venue itself is quaint and beautiful, with elegant greenery and landscaping that provided a lovely backdrop for our celebration. The food and wine were amazing - we especially loved the honey almond sparkling wine. Having Paesanos as the on-site caterer was an added bonus. I had a wonderful experience from start to finish, and I would highly recommend Scribner Bend Vineyards to any couple looking for a stunning, stress-free wedding venue.

Words can’t express how much appreciation and gratitude for the staff at Scribner Bend. From start to finish, the process was amazingly easy. Jessica was phenomenal at making everything was running smoothly. She was in constant communication. She was so helpful in answering all of my questions. The vendors they work with are amazing. It was my perfect wedding and they helped make it come to life.

While not required, we highly recommend hiring a professional planner or month-of coordinator. A good coordinator keeps everything on track from managing your timeline, vendors, and ceremony cues. This way your loved ones can enjoy the day. Not planning to hire one? Assign someone you trust to handle key setup details like a seating chart, table decor, welcome signage, etc. It’s just as important to designate someone to collect and pack these items at the end of the night to load them into a car. Need a referral? We’re happy to connect you with trusted coordinators who match your budget. We’re still happy to lead your rehearsal and ceremony!

Your SBV Venue Lead will be the main face for Scribner Bend Vineyards on your wedding day. They oversee vendor arrivals and ensure the venue is clean and set up according to plan. They stay in close contact with vendors and staff to resolve any issues smoothly. They maintain safety, enforce venue rules, and monitor the condition of event items throughout the celebration. At the end of the night, they supervise cleanup and lock-up, ensuring the celebration concludes just as seamlessly as it began.

Any responsibilities beyond our team’s scope, such as setting up or collecting personal belongings, packing vehicles, or handling items like gifts and décor, should be assigned to a coordinator (with a prior plan in place) or a designated family member or friend. If you did not hire a planner, all setup and breakdown of personal items and décor will be the responsibility of someone you’ve chosen—typically a trusted relative or friend.

If you choose to forego hiring a planner, one of our experienced SBV team members will run you through your wedding rehearsal.

Not at all! Our experienced Events Team will set up all included tables and chairs according to your requested layout. If you rent or bring in different tables or chairs, we will make sure they are where they need to be as well.

Your designated End of Evening (parents, wedding party attendants) person is responsible for gathering and packing any decorative items you brought with you, including gifts, cards, guest book, and signs. Our crew will take care of all the heavy lifting, cleaning, and trash.

While we do include wine glasses, we do not include any linens, place settings, etc – we want to make sure that you get just the colors and styles you want! Linens, place settings, flatware, water glasses, champagne flutes, and anything else for your tables can be coordinated through Paesanos. They partner with a local company, Celebrations Party Rentals, to bring you easy access to a huge selection of items, colors, and styles. You are also welcome to rent items on your own if you so choose, but most of our couples find it much easier to go through Paesanos.

We have just enough 8′ and 6′ tables for a traditional head table or King’s table. If you’d like all your guests seated at long tables, you can rent additional tables through a rental company. We have a great list of preferred vendors that you can reach out to.

Due to our liquor license, hard alcohol is not allowed anywhere on property. This includes in the Bungalow and Airstream Lounge.

You can absolutely have a dry wedding! If this is an option you are interested in, please let us know, and we’ll provide pricing for you.

The ONLY required vendor is Acoustic Events Catering. You are welcome to choose any other vendors that fit you best, whether they are on our list or not. If you choose a vendor that isn’t on the list though, there is a Non-Preferred Vendor Fee of 5% to that vendor. This 5% is based on your contract rated with that vendor. You should discuss this with vendors prior to entering into a contract with them – if their pricing doesn’t allow room for the vendor fee, then the fee will be added to your wedding contract with SBV as your responsibility to pay.

Yes, we require all weddings to purchase wedding insurance. We recommend WedSafe or The Event Helper as they are very easy to use.

225 guests April–October, 125 guests in March and November.

With the exception of holidays we are open to the public year round. However, we only book weddings beginning mid-March until mid-November.
