Wanted to share a wonderful review from our last wedding here at Essence Sonoma:

"Again thank you to you and your entire staff at the golf and country club. We could not have asked for a better day or feel for the wedding. The day flowed beautifully and we were able to enjoy it completely knowing that you were there and would take care of anything that may need to be addressed. You were a pleasure to deal with and we had complete trust in you which is not always easy to give :)
Thank you for all of your attention, patience and the genuine care that you put into the planning and on the day of the wedding. You are a treasure and we are pleased to have you as part of the wedding. We wish you all the best and if we ever host another large event you and the country club are definitely at the top of our list.
All the best, Harry and Lea Black"

"We are so happy that my son and his new bride chose the Country Club for their wedding location. From the ceremony under the Arbor surrounded by trees... to the beautiful view of the sunset from the ballroom... the setting was perfect. The dinner, the service, the attention to detail were the best and Heather and the entire staff could not have been more accommodating. Even club members who had their players' lounges taken over by the wedding party were friendly and congratulating our son and his bride. A great experience!"
Latest review from the father of the groom.
Thank you Mike! It was my pleasure and honor to host Will & Crystal's wedding.

Had the pleasure of hosting Christy Polley & Dylan Enochs's wedding in July. What a fantastic couple! The bride even made her own cake!
Quote from the father of the bride made my day!
"We are still on cloud 9 thinking about the wedding and reliving it with our friends and family. It was everything that we wanted and more.
Thanks to you and your staff for the beautiful venue and 1st class service. Everyone was so impressed and had a fabulous time and nobody went home early. It was the party that we envisioned and then some."
