We had our wedding at the Delta King on December 12th, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The venue itself is beautiful and unique, creating such an intimate and special atmosphere for our day. Rachel, our coordinator was incredible, organized, and genuinely invested in making everything run smoothly. She made the entire process feel stress free and was always there to answer questions and keep things on track. Heather was equally amazing and such a joy to work with. We’re so grateful for the care and effort they put into making our wedding day perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team to celebrate such an important moment in our lives.

The Thursday Club was the perfect venue for our wedding. The beautiful ocean views, charming garden, lovely ceremony space, and great reception area made it feel so special. Since it feels more like a house than a traditional venue, it created a warm and intimate atmosphere that my husband and I loved. Chris, the venue manager, was kind, professional, and wonderful to work with throughout the process. The venue also hosts open houses a couple of times a year, giving couples the chance to meet a variety of wedding vendors. Choosing The Thursday Club was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we highly recommend it!

After going back and forth with ideas of a wedding and elopement, we decided to elope at the courthouse in hopes of getting married on our dating anniversary. Unfortunately, the Courthouse can be booked months in advance so we were looking for a nice venue to host us with less than a month away. That's where the USSB came in. With the micro-wedding package, we were able to have a low-cost, intimate, and beautiful wedding ceremony. Joanie was very accommodating with arranging short notice visits to the venue and with entertaining our ideas as we honed in our vision for the wedding. Her and John even took care of the day-of-coordination, allowing our florist to set up the pews and altar and the photographer to post above for some aerial shots. On the wedding day, everything went seamless and stress-free. We can't thank them enough for accommodating us so last minute. We also get so many compliments on the look of the church itself which is always great to hear! There is a also a beautiful park (Keck Alice Park) across the street where we got some amazing photos as well.

We stayed at the venue the night before and the night of the wedding, and also had our rehearsal there the day before, which made everything so convenient and stress-free.

We had our wedding at the Barton House and had a great time! We liked that they have bride and groom suites inside to get ready. It made everything convenient! The lawn with the string lights is such a great vibe. We especially loved that they’re open to outside vendors! So many places require you use their specific caterer, but we preferred to pick our own. We were able to have our favorite pizza pop-up caterer and churro truck! The venue was also reasonably priced compared to others in the so called area. The only thing is it’s outdoors only, so if you’re concerned about weather you may need to get a tent. But they have preferred vendors they can share for that. Great for intimate garden style events!

Swan Lake was the perfect reception spot! The whole place was absolutely stunning, but the highlight of our wedding was the cocktail hour on the deck. The views of the lake were unreal, especially as the sun started setting. It felt like something straight out of a dream—good drinks, the best people, and just the most perfect vibe

From our first message, the team at The Hollins House proved they were on top of everything. Giselle and the staff responded quickly to every question and stayed incredibly organized throughout the entire planning process. The venue itself is breathtaking—the courtyard, ceremony area, vintage bar, and ballroom are all stunning in person and photos really don't capture how beautiful it is. We honestly didn't need to hire a day-of coordinator because the staff handled every detail with such professionalism. They went above and beyond to make our day special, and we can't recommend them enough. The Hollins House is truly the perfect place to get married.

We recently had our wedding at the Olympic valley stables and it was incredible. The venue offers lots of flexibility so it was awesome to create a day that felt unique to us, which included a shot-ski, beer donkeys, and a light up dance floor. The views from the venue are unlike anything else and every single one of your guests will tell you how beautiful it is. Yes it is all outside but with a few thoughtful touches we were able to keep every one warm through out the night. Mich was great to work with and really went above and beyond. If you are looking for a truly magical venue that you can make feel like yourself, I would highly recommend.

About wedding venues in California

California offers an incredible 840 miles of coastline, 3,000+ wineries and ancient redwoods for your wedding day. When you choose the Golden State, you're getting exceptional natural lighting for your ceremony across diverse settings from Mediterranean coastal zones to alpine mountain backdrops. Each region has its own distinctive character that can perfectly match your vision.

What Makes California Wedding Venues So Special?

Northern California's Napa Valley welcomes you with rolling vineyards and Spanish colonial architecture where intimate wine cave ceremonies create unforgettable moments. Head to Southern California and you'll find oceanfront venues like Duke's Malibu where you can exchange vows with the Pacific stretching out behind you while enjoying fresh coastal-inspired cuisine. Palm Springs offers dramatic desert venues with mountain backdrops and striking midcentury modern architecture that photographs beautifully.

How Much Do Wedding Venues in California Cost?

Wedding venues in California typically run between $9,600 and $11,700 which aligns nicely with the national range of $6,500-$12,000. This represents about 18% of your total wedding budget. Your overall costs will vary based on guest count: - 50 guests: $26,190 - 100 guests: $43,692 - 150 guests: $60,141 - 200 guests: $74,836 - 250 guests: $89,530 - 300 guests: $104,224

When Should You Book Your California Wedding Venue?

October leads venue inquiries in California with couples typically booking venues about 13 months (400 days) before their wedding date. If you're dreaming of a Northern California wine country wedding during peak season you'll want to book up to 18 months in advance.
