We had our wedding at this stunning location. Sanam is an excellent host and went above and beyond to accommodate us with only one month to plan the best day of our lives. We were able to book the house as an airbnb for the portion of our honeymoon and I highly recommend couples to do this since it made it easier for us. Not to mention the luxurious and romantic experience we had by having the house to ourselves. It surpassed any hotel experience because it was only us 2 at the house.I cannot recommend this place enough! All my italy wedding dreams came true in good old Bakersfield thanks to this venue and its amazing team.

I had my wedding here, and the house is absolutely stunning. Sanam, the home owner was very active in making sure we had everything we needed, and she checked on us often. She and her husband are both very loving and kindhearted. They made sure our day was everything we wanted it to be and more!

We had a blast to find Vista Del Lago Est for our wedding. The whole team are amazingly supportive, flexible to meet your needs; they adjusted the settings based on our culture and personal requests. The prices are fair. We felt really supported during the whole time of planning it and our wedding. Every guest was impressed by venue, the customer service, how organized and on-time was our wedding. The private lake gave us great opportunity for having many unique romantic pictures.

This venue is perfect for so many types of events! I was lucky enough to have a milestone birthday at Vista Del Lago Estate and the ambiance and the hospitality made the evening magical. We also opted to rent the bridal suite for getting ready and it was worth every penny! I highly recommend this space for events.

Pictures do not do this stunning venue justice! I took a tour of the Vista del Lago estate yesterday and it is a jewel. The estate itself is available to rent out for family reunions, a romantic getaway, or ladies retreat weekends. They can also accommodate events...weddings, quincenearas, corporate events, fundraisers, school proms, etc. Almost any size event or experience can be accommodated. The owners, Frank and Sanam, are very warm and welcoming. They are perfectionists who want to make your experience the absolute best it can be. The home itself is ... wow ... just wow. Magnificent. You pull into the gated drive, there is a beautiful fountain roundabout. Double doors welcome you into the foyer and you are immediately awed by a grand double staircase leading to the second floor. There are so many beautiful and functional living spaces, a pool table, chefs kitchen (perfect for a cooking demonstration experience or wine tasting event), plenty of set up space for caterers and other event staff to unload and organize, a magnificent custom built dining table with velvet brocade chairs, more crystal chandeliers than I could count! My husband would die for the full theater room (complete with three rows of comfy reclining chairs and cozy blankets). Upstairs there are four Juliet balconies overlooking the 20 acre estate and lake. Every bedroom suite has its own bathroom and sitting areas. The master suite has a two way fireplace so you can bask in the warmth in bed and in the sitting area. The master bathroom has a massive shower and bathtub. The bridal suite features a custom sitting area, three salon quality stations, a huge gilded mirror. No detail has been spared for their guests comfort. There are graceful winding stairs leading down to the courtyard from the bridal suite...imagine the entrance a bride could make descending the stairs while attendants rained down rose petals from the balcony! The venue offers many wedding packages, including an all inclusive package...relax and everything is taken care of for you! Plus, you can honeymoon right there on the estate. Wow!Outdoors there are areas for soccer, tennis, a pool, outdoor sitting areas, barbecue area, strung lights, a beautiful gazebo draped in mature wisteria. Oh, and did I mention that there is a PRIVATE LAKE! There are fish in the lake and you are welcome to bring your fishing pole! There is a boat loading dock. The sunsets from the Juliet balcony in the bridal suite are awe inspiring. There are so many amazing possibilities for this beautiful place. Whether you are planning a romantic tête-à-tête, a dance party (no noise restrictions or curfew!), a corporate event, or pampering weekend for you and your girls, or the wedding of your dreams this is the place! I am hoping to hold a fundraiser here next year for a non-profit organization and can't wait to plan it!I hope you are able to come out and plan your event, big or small. Absolutely stunning versatile venue, stellar customer service and genuinely nice owner/operators.

Incredible!!! Came here for a day to shoot a movie and Sanam treated me and our crew as if we were loved ones. Literally--it started unexpectedly raining while we were shooting a scene outside and she took off her own raincoat and gave it to me She made us feel right at home and my gosh did the property exceed all of our expectations. From the elaborate dressing/hair and makeup rooms with custom bars and decor to the gorgeous man made lake and stunning double staircase. If you're looking to feel at home, to be received like family, to truly go somewhere beautiful--this is your place and, no doubt, Sanam Hendizadeh is your girl! She even took pics with us and our crew :)

This venue is such a beautiful hidden gem in Bakersfield! We had our wedding here in early November and we couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate with our friends and family! The views outside are incredible and made our pictures phenomenal. We also chose the All inclusive wedding package which was very worth it, since I had a very short engagement and made all the wedding planning stress free! It includes everything you could possibly need and we also booked a few nights to stay in the house and is definitely a must for groom and bride to stay in for wedding night. The house holds various rooms and a theater room, the perfect house for entertainment and hosting. The glam room where me and my bridesmaids got ready was probably my favorite part of the house because it was so glamorous and spacious to fit the whole makeup and hair team and it also pretty for photo ops! The groomsmen also had a nice space to hang in and get ready in that included a pool table and bar where they had a blast!Sanam, the owner, was very kind and easy to work with! She is extremely accommodating and was sweet enough to check in on me every once in a while to see how I was doing as a stressful bride.

This is an exceptional venue! Honored to have shared an amazing day amongst family, close friends, our City Mayor & City Officials. The space was perfect and ideal for Decor, DJ, Food, Drinks and Games. I look forward in having my next big event here as well. This location is perfect for any event and or milestone birthday. Thank you to this beautiful family for bringing a piece of paradise to our community. We appreciate all the accommodations you provided to our friends and family. My babyshower was definitely one I will forever remember.

We had our wedding here in October 2022 and it was an absolute dream. The venue is seriously so beautiful and it feels like you've been transported to an Italian villa!We had a large wedding (around 210 people) and there were a lot of moving parts, but the wedding day felt so seamless. Communication with the venue before the wedding was great and we met the owners a couple times when we did a walkthrough of the venue and they are both lovely people. We also booked the estate as accommodation around the wedding (we did 4 nights total) and that was such an amazing decision! Our family absolutely loved staying here and we spent a couple afternoons handing around the pool together and grilling up some food. It was also super convenient for the wedding of course because at the end of the night we didn't have to go anywhere!Vista Del Lago Estate is an amazing wedding venue and we're so happy that we found this gem of a place and that we were able to have our wedding there!
