The Bel Vino team is the absolute best, specifically Sydnie! We had the pleasure of planning a wedding here and it was absolutely perfect. Throughout the entire process we felt nothing but confidence in the entire team. They were always so supportive and caring and helped address any concerns that we had that arose. Their level of professionalism and experience from each individual, including the entire staff was the very best. We heard from all of our guests such positive feedback and that the staff was always accommodating. Not to mention the food was amazing and our event captain Heather that night took care of everything. Our needs were always anticipated and met. It was like she could read our mind. She was awesome and could not recommend more. Our dj Andrea made sure our guests were entertained the entire night where everything felt smooth and relaxed. If you do choose to work with the Bel Vino team, you can’t go wrong with any of the staff. However special shoutout to Sydnie, the coordinator we had the pleasure of working with, who is the most loving and caring tender soul. She really made us feel like our wedding mattered and without her, our night would not have been as special. professional photos done by @oflove.co (who we also absolutely adore and highly recommend)

CRC Ranch is a 70 acre equestrian ranch with two absolutely breathtaking ceremony sites on property. I “got hitched” at CRC this last weekend and it truly could not have been any more perfect. This was the last venue my now husband, family and I toured in our search for a wedding venue. I knew I wanted something a little more rustic but still elegant and that is exactly what the Ranch offers. There’s a stunning outdoor ceremony site with a beautiful stone walkway for the aisle, a wooden stage and arch. Then there’s a beautiful indoor air conditioned barn with the most beautiful grand entrance doors for the reception. Not to mention MULTIPLE beautiful airbnbs, and trailer/RV Spots to stay at over night. This was a “pro” we were not going to find anywhere else and really what held our interest in the Ranch since a lot of my family would be traveling from Los Angeles. We ended up booking 3/5 of the airbnbs and 5 RV spots for our wedding weekend. As for the staff at CRC, I could not be happier with the way our entire day turned out and truly it was all thanks to Tracey and staff. From the very beginning, Tracey has been nothing but professional, honest, and very understanding of what we wanted our special day to look like. Tracey and her staff continued to check in throughout our wedding planning process to see if we needed anything and to recommend vendors to make the day that much more special. Tracey was truly a phenomenal wedding coordinator. We started our ceremony a bit late due to other uncontrollable circumstances but Tracey made sure to do what was necessary to get us back on track. Everything turned out so beautifully and amazing. Our guests had such a great time and loved being able to explore the ranch and look at the horses during cocktail hour. We had so much positive feedback from our wedding party and our guests on how this was just a beautiful wedding and would be a weekend to remember. A huge thank you to Tracey, her staff, the owner Bob, and all the other vendors that made our wedding day quite literally the best day of our lives. We will definitely be back to the ranch to visit, maybe spend a weekend, and say hello to the staff. I highly recommend working with Tracey and booking CRC Ranch as your wedding venue if you want a beautiful rustic wedding!

Our wedding at Monserate Winery was truly the best day of our lives!

We booked our wedding two years in advance and were originally planning to get married at Tuscan Estate before eventually moving to Monte Bella. Both venues are absolutely gorgeous, but switching to Monte Bella was the best decision for our 200 guests. I cannot thank Meilee enough for everything she did throughout the process—from our engagement photos and wedding tasting to making sure our wedding day was perfect. She was always available to answer our questions and made us feel supported every step of the way. We received so many compliments from our guests about the venue, the food, and the incredible staff. A huge thank you to Molly and Carissa for helping us book the venue, Stephanie for answering countless questions and assisting with our venue change, Meilee for coordinating all the amazing details, Tristan and Miguel for taking such great care of us during our rehearsal lunch and wine tasting, and Ansley for helping with all of our day-of needs. Every single staff member we interacted with was thoughtful, professional, and genuinely cared about making our experience special. They made us feel at ease throughout the entire planning process and on our wedding day. Monserate Winery will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and we can't wait to return and relive the memories for years to come. Thank you for helping create the most perfect day we could have imagined! - Gabriel & Amanda

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.

Had an amazing experience at Under the Mountain. This is a truly elegant space beneath the Santa Cruz Mountains, featuring a picturesque barnyard, vineyard, and forest surroundings. Even with the expansive setting, it still feels intimate.

My husband and I had the absolute best experience hosting our wedding at Ru's Farm! From the first time we viewed the property and met Kristen (Director of Hospitality Facility at Ru's), we knew it was the place for us. Kristen is the kindest person and we so easy & pleasant to work with. We also hired a majority of Ru's recommended vendors (catering, planning, etc), and they were such a well-oiled team to work with. We felt like we were working with people who were truly tethered to the Sonoma County community. Speaking about the venue itself - it's absolutely gorgeous. It's breathtaking even before you add florals! Our florist was able to draw on the natural beauty of Ru's, so the set up was absolutely stunning. All of our guests said it was one of the more beautiful weddings they've been to. Ru's is also a great location!! It feels like you're deep in wine county, but you're only a 7 minute drive from downtown Healdsburg. Also, don't worry about the 9pm cut off time. You still feel like you have a full event at the venue and you can keep the party rolling at one of the great bars in downtown Healdsburg! I can't recommend this venue enough - 10/10 experience!

Our wedding at Zaca Mesa Winery this July was an absolute standout. From the moment we toured the estate, we knew the stunning Los Olivos backdrop was exactly what we wanted. The views of the rolling hills and oaks are breathtaking, and the grounds are kept in pristine condition. Beyond the scenery, the estate wine is incredible. Our guests haven't stopped talking about how much they enjoyed the selection; it truly elevated the entire evening. The on-site accommodations were also a perfect fit for our needs—convenient, comfortable, and very well-appointed. The highlight of our experience, however, was working with Jake L. He was a total pro and brought such a fantastic, positive energy to the planning process. Jake was incredibly easy to work with, coordinating seamlessly with our wedding planner and all our vendors to ensure everyone was in sync. Thanks to Jake’s attention to detail, the entire day ran smoothly. We were able to actually relax and celebrate because we knew he had everything under control. If you’re looking for a venue with "wow-factor" views and a top-tier team, we cannot recommend Zaca Mesa and Jake highly enough!

Foxen Canyon Ranch was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. Their communication style was warm, friendly and accommodating from the very first interaction. The quality of their work and the value they provided was uniquely incredible, stunning and special in every way. They responded immediately to all of our questions and communication, and were extremely helpful with advice, recommendations and logistics that enabled a seamless experience before, during and after the event. I cannot say enough about the energy, quality and effort that were so evident in the wedding day that we were given. These owners clearly love to create magical and incredible experiences for their clients and guests. The details of the venue they have created have to be seen to be explained - words are not enough. The result was the perfect dream wedding for my daughter and her fiancé, who could not be happier.

Longshadow Ranch Winery was a beautiful venue for our wedding day. For the price, you can't beat the lush location that allowed us to fully customize the event to our liking without the venue dictating how our special day would flow. Dave was amazing to work with throughout the planning process and really made us feel we had the freedom to craft the wedding of our dreams. The only hiccups were some communication issues with the office staff in the final two months leading up to the big day regarding payments and contract details. While delayed, after contacting Dave on this matter, we did eventually get responses to email inquiries but a phone call option would have been preferred for timely resolutions. Overall, it was a beautiful venue and great value, we just wish the communication was more consistent in those important final weeks. Everything was 5 stars, unfortunately the communication, which I value a great deal, was the only lacking quality. Which, if this is the only area to improve, I think this speaks to the overall quality of the venue. Note: I would give 4.5 if I could!

Our wedding exceeded every expectation we had, and so much of that was thanks to Kimwood Ranch! The beauty of the property is unmatched with everything you need on site - enough space for getting ready between the two houses, a variety of locations for photos, we loved having space for some guests to camp, and so much more. Our dance floor in the barn was packed till the very end! There was so much flexibility working with the whole Kimwood team - they were all kind, thoughtful, and accommodating. The owners are some of the sweetest people you’ll meet. All of our vendors loved the location and enjoyed working with them too. Natalie as our coordinator went above and beyond, providing insight and guidance on the aspects I felt unsure of or wasn’t even thinking about. She truly made our wedding as smooth as possible and such a memorable day. I can’t say enough good things about her and the experience I got to have as a bride because of her. I’m tearing up writing this because she made such an impact! We are so happy we chose to have our wedding at Kimwood!

If you are looking for the perfect wedding venue, look no further! The Ranch at Stoney Creek is MAGICAL. From the moment we first visited, my now husband and I knew that this was the only place in the world we wanted to get married. The venue is absolutely stunning, and it is clear that countless hours of thought, hard work, and love have been put into every single detail of venue to make it perfect. The venue is large and yet still feels cozy, elegant but still natural. The staff at the Ranch made planning our wedding a breeze, and I so thoroughly enjoyed working with Suzanne, Michelle, Leon, and the rest of the incredible behind the scenes folks who worked so hard to make our wedding a once-in-a-lifetime event. They worked with us every step of the way to make sure that our wedding was exactly how we envisioned it, and they far exceeded our expectations. From the incredibly bountiful floral arrangements and seemingly infinite decor options to the comfortable rooms and the delicious food (plus the campsites, the no lights out time, the three ceremony sites to choose from, the beautiful patio for welcome drinks...the list goes on!), the Ranch truly has it all. We felt right at home at there, and our guests did too. The staff was very accommodating and on top of things, and they go the extra mile to make sure that everybody has a wonderful time. I am so grateful that I was able to get married at the Ranch at Stoney Creek, and that these lovely people are a part of the story.

The listing pictures don’t do Secluded Garden Estate justice. It’s absolutely beautiful in person, especially for an afternoon wedding at golden hour. Our guests are still telling us how beautiful the location was several weeks later. Our wedding photos look like they came right out of Lord of the Rings! The venue includes three separate areas for the ceremony, cocktail, and reception, with convenient electrical access, kitchenette, and guest restrooms. The hosts, Emily and Dennis, were incredibly easy to work with and put us at ease right away. They are knowledgeable without being pushy, and professional without making us feel like we were being sold to. Highly recommend if you are looking for a beautiful outdoor venue.

This review is long overdue. The staff was really amazing in coordinating our perfect wedding right from the beginning. We were planning our big day from out of state, which you would think would cause a few hiccups but the staff at J Winston Winery made everything very easy. Taylor Kinsey, Operations manager, was always quick to respond, provided great recommendations, had tremendous patience and was very professional throughout the entire process. They offered a package to buy out the winery at a very reasonable price so we didn’t have to worry about uninvited guests or rush any last minute details. The wine packages were just as reasonable; the only tough decision here was deciding which ones to serve. The newly built barn, where we hosted our reception was beautifully done. It had all the right touches with very little need for additional decorations. The day before the wedding we were able to setup/prep anything we needed to and of course enjoyed some of their amazing wine. We were really appreciative of them working closely with our multiple vendors prior to wedding day and getting them all set up on our special day. We can’t thank them enough for making our special day truly magical. We still visit the winery when we’re in town and to this day continue to thank them for the great job they did and reminiscence on the fun we had. Thank you John and the J Winston Winery team for being there for us especially Taylor and Leyla!

Here's the updated version with that detail woven in: **Title: "More Than We Could Have Hoped For"** When my wife and I started looking for a wedding venue in the Bay Area, it was hard to find a place that could accommodate our catering, decor, and music setups while still being budget-friendly and easy to collaborate with. We couldn't have asked for better people to work with than Barrie and Noel. They were incredibly supportive in helping us plan our setup, worked seamlessly with our caterers and other friends, and on occasions let us walk through other events so we could get ideas for our own. The wine catalog is excellent, our guests (and us) loved it. We chose to DIY lots of the details ourselves: decorations, plates and utensils, snacks, non-alcoholic drinks, and cocktails (Which Noel mixed and served), and Barrie and Noel made all of it easy to pull off. Because they were so on top of everything, we didn't even need to hire much extra staff, they coordinated our reception seamlessly, and it honestly couldn't have gone any better. This venue offers incredible service and support at an even more incredible value. We will always be so grateful to them for helping make our wedding day everything we wanted.

What Makes California Wedding Venues So Special?

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.
