La Grande Estates – Weddings & Fine Events Venue - Oakley, California

Fiona Pizarro

Our wedding was perfect thanks to Renee and her team. She is an experienced coordinator and was on top of everything. All my guests commented how organized everything was and how the day ran super smooth. She and her team did all the decoration which was beautiful and just how I wanted it. The food omg it was so delicious, every single person loved it. Our ceremony was beautiful, the place, the weather, the sound of the water in the background, couldn’t have asked for something better. All the staff was very friendly and made us feel so special. I’m so happy I found this place. Thank you Renee for making our dream wedding come true ?

My husband and I got married here on 6/23/2024. We highly recommend this venue for your wedding or fine event. Renee, Mama T, and the entire La Grande Team are the best in the business! The entire booking and planning process from beginning to end was unmatched. We searched high and low for the perfect wedding venue and almost gave up and eloped before we found this place. This venue has everything you need! I love how the ceremony and reception areas are on the same property. The trees provide shade in all the right areas. The patio is spacious and feels so welcoming. Every part of this estate is beautiful and can be used for your special day. Our ceremony took place in the grotto area and we took couples photos on the lake side. Everything came together gorgeously. Please do not hesitate to reach out and inquire about this venue. You will be met with incredible service.

Originally, I chose La Grande for two simple reasons, one - it has a tent, fulfilling my dream to have a Harry Potter themed wedding under the tent, two - Renee and her team were straightforward and communicative.
It turns out La Grande is more than just my venue! When Renee said I do not need a coordinator, I was a bit suspicious.. But Renee and her team achieve above and beyond expectations, as my venue designer, coordinator, food caterer, bartender... As the bride with a packed schedule on wedding day, Renee is the one that helps coordinate every single detail among different vendors, bridal party, and the newlyweds. She made sure I am not pushed or rushed, but reminded of the time. If time is running out, she would tell me "we will do whatever you want, it's your wedding" to encourage me to make the call rather than force me to make a decision. Having a patient, detailed person like her executing everything perfectly right is so rare even for a dedicated wedding planner.
Her daughter, Kendra, is the master brain behind the venue design. Kendra is just as communicative, straightforward and creative as Renee. I shared with her my vision of the wedding, the color theme, and she quickly shared mock up photos of the ceremony site, dinner table design with me. We have all design elements finalized within 1 day.
Last but not least, as a venue, La Grande is sooo versatile. The main property has classic, vintage design perfect for the bridal party to rest, take "get ready" photos; the backyard is elegant for first look. Front yard with sunflowers and the Tuscany house design looks like a scene in Game of Thrones. The emerald-like lake has ducks and geese, a fountain, amazing for sunset photos! There is even a vineyard on the property. All our wedding photos are taken on La Grande, yet it looks like we have been all over the places in  the Bay Area.
La Grande already has such high reviews, but still wanna share how great the team works well with us throughout this journey. My guests were asking me all about La Grande during the wedding already!! And I cannot wait to write this review and let more people know about this amazing venue, not just for weddings, but for any parties you wanna host!

La Grande Estate offers luxurious wedding celebrations that are perfect for outdoor ceremonies. The staff was extremely helpful and kind, especially Madam Mamati, Ms. Rene, the energetic, and Ms. Karen, her beautiful daughter, the overall wedding coordinator. We, Le Fleur D Florals & Wedding Design, set up the wedding flowers and the bridal entourage in their lovely and magical place. Highly recommended.

We had our wedding here on 4.24.24. It was hands down worth every penny. I'm not exaggerating, they have everything you'd imagine a wedding should be like. You start off with a tasting and meet some vendors, it felt like being in a movie. They also have a pretty lake for the ceremony.
For your guest experience, they have ample parking and the reception area is on the same grounds. There is a house on the estate for your wedding party with a private Bridal Suite. Everybody kept asking me how I found this gem. If you want it done right, this is the place to go. We looked at 3 different venues and this was the best. They don't nickel and dime you for everything and they still offer the most amenities.

The day of was wonderful, it was like a dream. The coordinator Renee was like a triplet, she was everywhere making sure the day ran smoothly so I could fully enjoy my day. They accommodated all of my requests and Renee was always a text message away. The food was awesome & I received so many compliments on it. The bartenders were great and they have an option to provide plenty of alcohol (it was hit with our guests). My coworker told me how she over heard the bartenders talking about how they had never seen anything like my wedding before and it was just the cherry on top! I felt like a Queen. Mama T was a character and my whole family loved her. It really made us all feel like a unit.

It rained before my ceremony but Kendra was like an on-site therepist and she kept me calm when I was getting anxious. This place is professional! Renee even had a weather app that predicted when it would stop raining and then the entire staff dried the chairs in an instant. I'm telling you, this place is like a well-oiled machine, they really know their stuff. They provide a flexible time line and the grand exit was so cool!

We are thoroughly impressed and I 10/10 recommend this place to everyone. If you're still deciding, this place is worth visiting. I still gush when I look at the photos.

We had the most incredible experience at La Grande Estates! The entire team was extremely professional, and our wedding coordinator, Renee, was exceptional. She was on point with every little detail and handled a couple of minor issues with other vendors flawlessly—keeping us informed only when necessary, ensuring the itinerary flowed seamlessly. Renee truly exceeded our expectations; she felt more like family than just a coordinator.

The staff was attentive and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. The tables were set up beautifully, far surpassing our expectations, and all our guests couldn’t stop raving about the stunning venue and how well-organized everything was. The food was delicious, with plenty for everyone, and guests could even go back for seconds if they wanted.

Overall, it was truly the best day ever, made extra special by the remarkable team. We would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, memorable wedding day without the stress. Thank you for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!

Thank you,

Mr. & Mrs. Quintanilla

I was an officiant at a wedding here today. This place is breathtaking. From the parking to the walkway to the ceremony ground, inside the house, just phenomenal. But what I am most impressed with was how much Mama T, Renee, and Tracie made me (and everyone) feel at home. They truly opened their home to the guests. They are engaging, personable, accommodating, have a great sense of humor, and just so welcoming. If you don’t know where to have your wedding, look no further!! You HAVE to experience this for yourself. I’d love to go back just to walk the grounds and listen to Mama T’s stories. Outstanding!!!!!!
