From the moment we booked Fruitcraft Winery & Distillery for our wedding, Alan and Mari provided detailed and timely communication every step of the way. Their gorgeous venue with lush live plants and moody lighting created the perfect moody October atmosphere for our special day. The outdoor patio was a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony, and the amazing cocktails and drinks they served were a huge hit with our guests.

If we could give Wedgewood 100 stars, we would. We were in the planning process for almost 2 years, and during that time, we had to navigate a lot of changes with the venue due to new winery ownership. It could have easily been an incredibly stressful process, but the entire team handled everything with absolute grace, professionalism, and unmatched care. They went completely above and beyond for us every single step of the way. First and foremost, we have to talk about our incredible coordinator, Alison. There are truly no words to describe how amazing she is. Throughout the entire process and especially on the day of, we genuinely felt like she was reading our minds. Her intuition, attention to detail, and execution are flawless. She took every single vision we had and made our dream wedding come to life. We didn't have to worry about a thing because Alison was always three steps ahead. She loves what she does and cares so deeply about making sure her couples are over the moon happy and we truly cannot thank her enough. I have so many pictures of me bawling and looking absolutely shocked when she walked us into our reception hall for the first time - I couldn’t believe that I was looking at MY wedding! We could not have asked for anything more. We also owe a massive thank you to Tori, Amanda Jo, and Daly. They were so supportive, incredibly responsive, and made us feel so cared for. They all tackled the changes that the winery made with the utmost consideration and care - I cannot imagine being in their position having to manage the unplanned changes that they did, but they acted with no hesitation and complete transparency from the beginning. We trusted them completely and are so happy that we did. Every single one of them also brought amazing energy and dedication to making sure our wedding day was spectacular. The venue itself is beautiful, but it’s the people who make it extraordinary. If you are considering Wedgewood Weddings at Truffle Pig or any location, you are in for the most incredible planning process and wedding day. Our guests could not stop talking about the food, the scenery, the vibe, and the flow of the day. It truly was perfect in every aspect. Thank you, Alison, Tori, Amanda Jo, and Daly, for giving us the best day of our lives!

We cannot recommend Inn by Churon enough for your Wedding. We got married in late October and everything was perfect. After our first visit to the venue we knew this was the place we were going to get married. The ceremony space is beautiful and has an incredible view of the Temecula wine country. The reception area is right by the ceremony space which was great for our guests. The outside reception space was beautiful. We needed very little in terms of flowers, because we were able to take advantage of the winery's natural beauty. The lighting was beautiful and gave off a very romantic vibe once the sunset. It was a cold night and the winery was able to set up heaters for us which made the reception the perfect temp. The staff go above and beyond for you. Meilee, Angela, and Brittany THANK YOU SO MUCH. The staff was so attentive and ensured every detail of our wedding was perfect. They were great with check ins and keeping us on track. Every single guest that stayed at the Inn after the wedding commented on how wonderful the staff was. They really went above and beyond to make our day special. We will continue to visit and stay at the winery for many years to come because of their professionalism (not to mention the wine is delicious). The food was INCREDIBLE. A lot of wedding food can taste bland and dry, but not here. The chef took time with us during our tasting to provide a ton of options before we made a decision. The food came out perfect. I can't even count how many compliments we got from our guests on how delicious and fresh the food tasted. It was buffet style but they still provided staff to help fill the plates and keep the line moving. Everyone got their food very quickly. We ended up getting the recommended coordinator from them and Vanessa if you're reading this thank you for everything. Vanessa sat with us about a month in advanced and went through our whole day and typed up a whole plan. She kept the day on track and on time and it was perfect. No issues or delays at all. Our day would not have been what it was without Vanessa so thank you so much! All in all I can't recommend this venue enough. All of our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful it was, how great the food and wine were, and how professional the staff were. It really was the most beautiful day and would couldn't be more grateful that we chose Inn by Churon as our venue. Thank you for everything!

From start to finish, our experience with Bel Vino was nothing short of exceptional. It was absolutely perfect, literally our dream wedding come true. The Bel Vino team was an absolute dream to work with. Sydnie, Lein, Jane, Heather, and everyone else we ever talked to was amazing. Every single detail—from the initial tour, all the meetings to the final send-off—was handled with care, patience, and thought. The communication was always clear, timely, and always reassuring, which made the entire process completely stress free. They were always there to answer all of text messages and always reassured me that I was no bother. They made both Chris and I feel so so special. They never seemed annoyed at all of our questions or last minute changes or ever made us feel rushed. They’re literally not enough positive words for the team at Bel Vino they are the sweetest and put so much detail and thought into it all! The food was phenomenal. Our guests raved about the appetizers all of the food and how much of it there was! We got set up with Andrea from Dj Maestro and she was incredible to work with. She was able to do everything we asked of her from a certain songs that a specific time, and knowing exactly when to end them. She kept the energy high all night long, reading the room perfectly and she was so nice!! Our guests have been telling us for over a week now that this is probably one of the most beautiful and smooth weddings that they’ve ever been to. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn't change a single thing. The best day of our lives! Chris and Sabrina de Leon

I don't even know what to say because I'm so overwhelmed with how perfect everything went on our wedding day. I get more and more obsessed the more I look back at photos! We were at their Villa de Fiore venue and I can't speak of it highly enough - the bridal suite is HUGE and so comfortable, and the groom's suite (though smaller) is also stunning. Being able to have the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception back to back in the same spot was so convenient, not to mention the stunning location. Everyone we worked with at Monserate was so amazing, professional and helpful. Hali took over as our main contact a few months before our wedding and she was an absolute gem, so friendly and incredibly helpful. She was also onsite day-of for anything we needed and helped the whole day run smoothly (even made sure I got my espresso martini before the ceremony after the bartenders told my maid of honor they couldn't serve us yet). She also gifted us a bottle of champagne with a sweet hand-written card afterwards and offered to buy us lunch any time we returned to their winery. Though this might be standard practice for their coordinators, it still meant a lot to us as a couple!

What can I say about the amazing experience we had at Flying Cloud Farm? From the first visit, my husband and I knew that we wanted to book them as our venue right away. Our first meeting with coordinator Julia was a dream! She answered any and all questions we had from our first meeting through to the days before and was so helpful. She provided a list of highly rated local vendors, budget and timeline spreadsheets, and was able to fine tune our grandiose ideas into something tangible and attainable. We were very worried about having a March wedding with the weather being so unpredictable in the springtime, but it was perfect. Sunny skies, 75 degrees, gentle breezes, and a breathtaking sunset to boot. Julia and the team executed everything flawlessly and every guest was in awe about how much of a seamless and personalized experience it was.

THIS PLACE IS A 15/10, I AINT PLAYIN. This venue and staff left me in AWE. We only toured one venue and after meeting Katherine, I knew they were the one. The entire process (it was a year and a half in advance so a ton of planning) was seamless. It's funny because I see these brides on TikTok talk about "what went wrong at my wedding" and truly... NOTHING went wrong. Jameson was a standout star and although I had a clear vision, he was the executor. I absolutely loved Sydney & Erin too who came on later but were still amazing and were in lockstep with our vision. I recommend this venue to ANYONE who will listen. It's also downtown so easy for after party spots and fun for out of town guests. The drinks were flowing, Mexican food was top notch, and the staff from Flora were 15/10 and made sure it all ran smoothly. If you do decide Flora, I highly recommend booking the coordination as well! Every vendor they recommended did NOT disappoint.

They were quick and responsive when needing items and asking for help. Very supportive and professional. No one will regret choosing this venue and it is quite high end, as well. Worth every cent

As wedding photographers, my husband and I have worked at just about every venue in the Sacramento and Sierra Foothills area—so when it came time to plan our own wedding, we didn’t even have to think twice. River Highlands Ranch was the one. The venue is seriously stunning. The barn has an elegant, elevated feel, but it’s still totally relaxed and surrounded by vineyards, gardens, rolling hills, and open space that just makes you breathe easier. We had a small wedding and did our ceremony under the oak tree, and it was perfect—quiet, peaceful, and gorgeous. There were SO many great spots for photos- the garden, vineyards, orchard, stream, pond, rolling hills, and of course the barn with it's huge green doors and beautiful vines surrounding the doorways. One of the biggest perks was how much was already included. Beautiful farm tables, lounge furniture, cocktail tables, draping, lighting—it all looked amazing and saved us so much money (and stress). We also loved that we could bring our own alcohol. The staff were also awesome. Everyone was kind, helpful, and made sure things ran smoothly so we could actually enjoy the day. Our guests loved the space—and even in the middle of summer, the fire pit was a hit. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that’s beautiful, easy, and has everything you need without a ton of extra work, I can’t recommend River Highlands Ranch enough.

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!

Our wedding at the Ranch at Stoney Creek was nothing short of AMAZING! Our guests had the best time, and LOVED the venue (as did we). The venue is spectacularly beautiful, and the team there were so helpful with organizing EVERYTHING! They provided us with beautiful decor and floral arrangements, an amazing wedding planner, and recommendations for catering and wine vendors in the area. We were even able to have some guests camp on site in beautiful "glamping" tents, which was absolutely awesome (and what we wanted since were were looking for guests to have camping options). Additionally, we were able to stay with our family, onsite, in their beautiful guest-rooms, while other guests were able to stay at adorable Air BnB's and Hotels in the area.

My husband and I got married at Secluded Garden Estate back in February. I have no regrets in choosing this venue. There were some hiccups right before and after our event happened. The venue owners were very kind and welcoming to us and what our vision was. It is on their home property so be prepared to share the smaller Bridal Suite area and possibly hear some noise as you’re getting ready. There was no all inclusive package available for us so we had to bring EVERYTHING and get it from, outside vendors. We chose this so that we could make it more our own. They did offer heaters for a certain price but we chose not to use them after all. The day of staff were so incredibly helpful, all the men that were there offered to lend a helping hand to our family as they cleaned up. Because of this, there was some miscommunication between us and the vendor owners. So, please be clear with the staff that you do not want to get charged for something that you aren’t supposed to. Also, make sure to just communicate with the owners of how you should coordinate with the vendors, such as day and time of drop off and pick up. (Ex. Tables and chairs) Overall, we loved this venue. It was what we had envisioned for our special day and we are blessed because of it. Hope this helped someone!!! :D

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.

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.
