My daughter had a quick engagement so finding a location for her wedding and reception was tricky but Malibu came through! They accommodated us and we had the ceremony outside on their property since there were no permits available for the grass area nearby. Suzy and Riley were incredible with their communication, planning and help throughout the process and we were blown away with the setup the day of the wedding...they far exceeded our expectations! The food was delicious and the whole setup turned out beautifully!. I highly recommend Malibu Farms!!!

I got married here at the beginning of June and it was the best day of my life and Forgotten Barrel definitely made it an amazing day. When I first came here to tour the place, Alyssa made me feel like a bride and not just another person looking for a venue. She was easy to work with and definitely was one of the many selling points of picking this venue for our wedding. The day itself was flawless and all our guests had a great time here. We also came at a perfect time of the year because all the flowers were blooming and the place looked extra beautiful. I definitely recommend this place you won't regret it!

We held our wedding reception at Saratoga Springs in the Cathedral Grove region of the venue on a Saturday in October. After visiting them for a walkthrough, we booked this venue about a year and a few months in advance. This was the first venue we visited and we fell in love! We felt a great family-like vibe from the staff, starting with Jennifer who coordinated our initial booking and tour. Throughout our time preparing for this event, Olivia and Sam were extraordinary in their communication, response time, and knowledge of these events. They did a wonderful job in helping us understand what we needed vs. what we wanted and good decisions to make. They never tried to upsell us on more expensive options, always letting us know the best value for what we wanted. Throughout this process, we knew we had made the right choice in terms of staff. Scenically, Saratoga Springs is stunning! An outdoor venue with several different species of large trees like oaks and redwoods, many small creeks that run through and around the venue, and several amenities included such as lights that wrap around the trees, a firepit, and artificial turf that you can actually wear high heels on! We were in love with the scenery immediately because our reception was LOTR/Legend of Zelda themed and this was perfect for us. Throughout the actual event, the Saratoga Springs staff was excellent. They assisted us and our own day of wedding coordinators in running the event and making sure we had everything that they could provide. Our reception was during a brutal heat wave in the Bay Area, but Cathedral Grove had so many large trees that the shade they provided meant the floor never got hot and it felt more like 75 degrees which was SO essential for the comfort of ourselves and our guests. Everything was great, and we give the venue and their staff a 10/10. There was one glaring issue we want to address. The DJ we booked, Paul Dominguez, was a very nice man. He seemed to be on top of it, being in constant communication with us leading up to the event. We felt that he was going to do a great job. Yet, when it came time for the event, he made SEVERAL mistakes in what we asked him to do that we felt the need to address this situation and performance. He is part of the approved vendor list for DJs but we honestly feel Saratoga Springs needs to either reevaluate him or discuss this with him because literally everything else about the night was perfect for us, except him. Again, he is a nice guy and even provided cold sparklers for us for free which we really appreciated, but the lack of attention to detail in several aspects of this night was something we felt we needed to address here. Overall, Saratoga Springs is an excellent venue choice for a big event like a wedding/reception and we are happy to recommend anyone looking for a venue. We had an amazing experience for our reception and we are very satisfied with the staff and scenery of this venue.

We loved having our wedding at Canopy Grove by Wedgewood Weddings. The venue was beautiful, open, spacious, and modern - exactly what we envisioned for our special day. Taylor, our venue coordinator, was a dream to work with. Her communication was consistently helpful, responsive, and kind. She truly went above and beyond to understand our vision and make sure every detail was perfect. Taylor worked extensively with us leading up to the wedding, answering every question and accommodating all our requests, no matter how small.

We got married at CRC Ranch this September, and it was absolutely perfect. The venue is stunning — surrounded by beautiful scenery and a peaceful atmosphere. One of the best parts was the variety of on-site lodging options for our guests, which made the entire weekend so convenient and enjoyable for everyone. Tracey, Leslie, and Lacey from the CRC staff were amazing in every way. They were helpful, kind, and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to help us. Tracey was absolutely amazing in every way. From the very beginning of our wedding planning journey, she offered vendor recommendations and shared her honest, thoughtful opinions, which we truly appreciated. Throughout the process, Tracey regularly checked in with me, making sure I felt supported and didn’t have any unanswered questions. When it came to our rehearsal and the big day itself, Tracey went above and beyond. She ensured every detail aligned with our vision, kept everything running smoothly and on time, and made sure everyone was where they needed to be. Her presence brought us so much peace of mind. There’s no doubt in our minds — our wedding wouldn’t have been as amazing as it was without Tracey. She was an essential part of making our day perfect.

Topo's Restaurant Bar & Banquet Facility was an absolute dream venue for our wedding! From the very first interaction, the communication with Jorge (the owner) and his staff was awesome - they were so pleasant and made the planning process so easy. Their space is truly beautiful, with a stunning Spanish-style courtyard and an intimate reception area that was perfect for our celebration. The food was also incredible - the family recipe Mexican dishes were a huge hit with all of our guests. We loved that the ceremony and reception could all take place in one convenient location.

We got married here in May of 2025, and I could not recommend this venue enough! This will likely be a long review, but if you are engaged and looking for a wedding venue, it is worth the read. Scribner Bend was the best option we could have chosen for our wedding, and I am so glad we did. Tldr: This venue works to save you money, has an attentive and detail oriented staff, and offers a lot to justify the price! The biggest standout was how committed the staff and team are to making sure you get the best value from your wedding. - They cut fees without us asking (there was initially an outside vendor % fee that they changed to a flat price, or that %, whichever was lower) - They worked with us to get what we wanted out of our wedding without additional costs (letting us substitute a red wine for sangria and a white wine for the sparkling almond without an upcharge, letting us know how to get a vegetarian option for our guests without having to pay for an additional main course, allowing us to bring in things that the venue doesn't provide at no extra cost, etc.) - they allowed us to make changes to our headcount before making the final payment. The wedding industry is FULL of people who know they can throw in extra fees without repercussion, and Scribner bend is not like that at all. - They honored the venue and catering price we signed under, even though we got married almost 2 years after signing. They did this without us asking. - The venue also processed and sent the refund of our deposit by the time we got back from our honeymoon. Additionally, the staff and service overall was amazing. They remembered us by face every time we went into the tasting room, they were reachable with questions and had a wonderful response time(and I had a LOT of questions since I did not have a planner), and it was clear that they wanted to make the wedding process easy for us. Our wedding coordinator was extremely knowledgeable on everything (from venue details to the best time to call an uber back home), and she coordinated so well with Rain from Paesanos. She actually ran our wedding rehearsal better than full service planners i've seen at other weddings. The team offered well-planned options for day-of logistics, but were 100% on board with our updated vision for the day, and made it come to life at no extra cost. Scribner bend is also an easy venue to get married at. The grounds are naturally beautiful, so the only florals we bought were my bouquet to hold, and flowers for our tables. This saved us THOUSANDS of dollars. The venue is private (and the tasting rooms are closed by the time of the wedding) so you never run the risk of wedding crashers. The getting ready bungalow was HUGE. We were able to do florals and candles, have two make up artists, AND have private places to relax and get dressed without being overcrowded (and I had a huge wedding party). My husband loved the air stream as well, but I still still think the bungalow was better :). They had a good relationship with Celebrations party rentals, where my husband and I were able to customize our rentals, but still get them through Scribner Bend at a slightly lower cost (fewer fees!). I thought we were going to feel like the 11pm stop time was too early, but it actually made sure the party went until the very end, and allowed us time to say goodbye to our loved ones without feeling like we were missing any part of the evening. I would recommend Scribner bend 100 times over!

Welcome to Under the Mountain. We’re a working farm and vineyard since the 1870’s, tucked at the base of the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains. This slice of living history is rare in the Bay Area now, and we’d like to share it with you. Our quintessential-California Barn was built in the 1880’s from enormous redwood beams and makes for a stunning backdrop to any ceremony. Our Vines are nearly 110 years old, the source for select wines from the state’s premier winemakers. Our Arbor and Orchard make the perfect pastoral setting for chatting with your chosen guests, eating drinking, and, of course, dancing. No layout is set in stone – we provide the vineyard space, the mountain views, and that California spirit – and you make it your creative playground to build your personal and unforgettable wedding.

Weddings Under the Mountain is a truly special venue. Tucked away west of Gilroy and nestled between nearby mountains, it feels cozy, serene, and wonderfully removed from the noise of everyday life. From the moment you arrive, there’s a sense of peace that sets the tone for the entire celebration. The property itself is stunning—home to old vine wine grapes that are over 100 years old, majestic oak trees, and countless natural backdrops that make for incredible photo opportunities. Throughout the day and into the evening, you’re surrounded by songbirds, wildlife, and a calm, natural beauty that feels both rustic and elegant at the same time. As a guest, the experience was intimate, peaceful, and effortlessly beautiful. The evening climate was ideal, and the setting encouraged people to relax, connect, and truly enjoy the moment. Everything about the venue felt intentional and grounded in nature without sacrificing comfort. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that feels serene, beautiful, and natural—one that allows the setting itself to enhance the meaning of the day—Weddings Under the Mountain is an exceptional choice.

Arrowhead Pine Rose Cabins provided a wonderful and accommodating experience for our wedding day. Their communication was fast, detailed, and they were incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. The venue itself had a lovely rustic and spacious feel, with the natural beauty of the outdoors. When a power outage occurred in one of the bridal party cabins, the staff was quick to resolve the issue by providing a backup room with generator power. The DJ, officiant, and on-site coordinator were all included in our package and helped ensure the day unfolded seamlessly. We were able to bring our "Twilight" vision to life thanks to the stunning natural setting. The whole experience was incredible, and I'm so grateful we chose Arrowhead Pine Rose Cabins as the backdrop for our special day.

We just had our wedding Friday, June 13th and I am so glad we found Miller’s Landing. We booked in April of last year and after touring a couple venues and wanting the Forest/mountain vibes—this was a no brainer. Family owned—Kellan, Terri, and everyone in the staff were so unbelievably transparent, friendly, helpful, and amazing to work with. The communication is on point and everything was seamless since their packages include basically everything! Our photographer was included and we chose JLay Weddings which also led us to our videographer! Even the small amount of things not included in package pricing, they gave recommendations that were great! The property is so beautiful and so well maintained even when we toured it when it was raining and sleet coming down! The ceremony site is a dream, which flows right into the cocktail area, and then reception/dinner in the beautiful, rustic barn and everything flows perfectly. It’s small enough to where people don’t wander off and disappear or get too separated, but big enough to provide spaces and pockets for people to hang out in. Fox in the Woods Catering was absolutely delicious and the venue tasting was great—we had such a hard time deciding what to choose because it was all so good. The bridal suite did get a little warm on our 80 degree wedding day, but they have portable air conditioners that helped. We loved the table and mirrors so my bridesmaids not getting hair and makeup done could do their own there. The groom suite is a great spot for the guys and every space is so well put together and comfortable. Our day of coordinator included with the venue, Ashly, was amazing in creating our day of timeline, setting up decor and making sure our vision came to life. Family owned and operated was the way to go. We felt so special and didn’t have a single thing to worry about and we had the most perfect wedding day. We are on cloud nine and highly recommend anyone wanting a seamless wedding and less stress of planning, please book here. You will not regret it!

We recently had our wedding at Suisun Valley Inn, and overall, it was a beautiful and memorable experience. One of the biggest highlights was being able to use the venue for three full days, which gave us extra time to relax and connect with our bridal party and loved ones. That extended access truly made a difference in how special the weekend felt. However, there were a few challenges that did impact our plans. The event barn, which was a key part of our original vision, was unfortunately not finished in time for our wedding. While we understand this was out of the owner’s control, we were disappointed that we were not refunded the full 2,000 deposit, especially since the change affected nearly every aspect of our day. Additionally, when we arrived, we were surprised to find the vineyard had been plowed without any prior notice. This forced another last-minute adjustment to our setup so we wouldn’t be facing a dirt lot. It would have been really helpful to have been told about that in advance. Despite these hiccups, the venue itself has so much potential and charm, and we did have a lovely wedding. I just hope some of these experiences can help future couples plan better or spark a few improvements from the venue for the future.

Hawk Ranch was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. They were so easy to communicate with, day or night, and made me feel like a priority even though they had 4 weddings our weekend. The venue is absolutely stunning - it's well kept and enhanced regularly so you don't have to worry about anything being out of place. Crystal and her team set up everything the day of for me, so I didn't have to lift a finger or worry about one detail. I was able to enjoy the morning with my bridesmaids and really feel my best. If I had to do this all over again, I would 100% pick Hawk Ranch as our venue. The team is fabulous to work with and so knowledgeable - they answered every question ahead of time with ease and made sure everything was covered and thought of before our big day. During the day of, Crystal took care of all coordination with our vendors and decor set-up. My family and I didn't have to worry about anything!

To begin describing the experience we had at Del Oro Valley is difficult to do! Because it was SO amazing. We had our wedding venue cancel on us 6 months before our wedding and it was an emotionally deflating experience. However we didn’t realize at the time it was a gift that landed us at the most magical venue full of people more aligned with everything we love and stand for. Del Oro valley saved our wedding and provided us with more than we could have ever asked for. They went above and beyond to provide us with a peak experience I’m certain we couldn’t have achieved elsewhere. They helped us produce a talent show at, provided camp counselors for games and community activation, provided a place with incredible sound for us to dance all night, catered delicious food for 110 people, and gave us lasting memories. This venue has it all. Gorgeous mountain outlooks at the amphitheater for our ceremony and a candlelit patio dinner. An A-frame cabin decked out with lights and an excellent sound system for dancing. There’s a huge pool at main camp near lodging for folks to relax at during the day, and lodging onsite for all your people to stay and connect over the weekend. Couldn’t recommend this venue more. Thank you Del Oro Valley for sharing one of the most memorable weekends with us!
