"amazing from the very beginning"

"Napa Valley is the perfect setting for a destination wedding, and we are so happy with our decision to wed at Viansa Winery in July 2018. Planning the entire thing from Chicago, we relied on the help of the Milestone team, who went above and beyond to ensure our big day was perfect. We were appointed Teina as our event coordinator, who was a pleasure to work with. She was always prompt to respond to emails, and knew all the answers to our many questions! We shared our vision with her, and she really helped it come to life. She put us in touch with the right vendors, and finalized our rental order so we didn’t need to worry about it. On the day of, she did everything to ensure our event followed its timeline, all the vendors did what they needed, and even packed up our car with the decorations at the end of the night! I don’t hesitate in recommending Milestone Events Group for your Napa Valley wedding or special event! Thank you for everything!"

"The team at Milestone Events Group was amazing from the very beginning. I got married at Trentadue, one of the many breathtaking venues that this expanding company has to offer. From my original site tour, to our interactions throughout the year leading up to the wedding, all the way up to the wedding day, the staff was supportive, informative, and professional. They were so patient with my questions, accommodating with my requests, and always made me feel as though I could go to them if I needed something. Everyone there is a class act and they made the planning process much easier! Most importantly, they have some of the most gorgeous and unique venues in the area. Thank you to everyone at Milestone for helping make my wedding the best day of our lives!"
