THE VENUE OWNERS
JOEY & JANAN,
OWNER & FOUNDERS
It all started at a wedding, owners Joey and Janan Benefiel met at their friends wedding. She was a bridesmaid and he was a groomsman and it was love at first sight. It seemed only natural that in 2014 they would fulfill their dream to have a vineyard, winery and a venue. They could share their property with couples celebrating their own dreams for their future, beginning with a beautiful wedding. Having a family business, we consider it an honor and a privilege to be entrusted with such an important day in the lives of our couples, their family and friends. We enjoy working alongside our Dove Ridge team, some family and others that have become our adopted family, to help grow Dove Ridge into a beautiful destination for many years to come.
THE VENUE TEAM
MICHAELA,
VENUE MANAGER
Michaela fell in love with Dove Ridge Vineyard in 2019 after the celebration of her own brother and sister-in-law’s wedding at Dove Ridge. While still in college, she began interning with Dove Ridge as part of our venue event staff, and helping with social media. After her graduation from Texas State University with a degree in Public Relations and Social Media, Michaela joined the Dove Ridge team full time as our Venue Manager. She brings tremendous insight to her position, being able to see the bride and groom’s perspective, and marrying it with the venue side to create beautiful wedding settings for our Dove Ridge Bride and Grooms. Her favorite part of her job is working with each couple to insure all their wedding dreams and aspirations receive her full attention. Michaela is also a team player and adores working with her fellow staff members and vendors to help make our couples wedding day their best day ever!
