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.

What a stunning, magical, fairytale venue and team of incredible staff. Our journey to our wedding at Churon started with a beautiful tour of the venue from Courtney, who patiently answered all our questions and provided us with invaluable information about hosting a wedding at their venue. She passed us to Vanessa, who graciously answered even more questions, provided reassurance, and made us feel like we were home with a friend when we met with her for our final venue meeting. The front desk staff were welcoming and patient all of the many times I called for an update on guests who had booked rooms for the wedding. The servers, bar tenders, and staff setting up and taking down the event made our wedding festivities seamless. In addition, the appetizers, dinner, and wine were FABULOUS! On our final morning after locking ourselves out of our hotel room, my husband and I discovered that the Churon team had surprised us with a BEAUTIFUL welcome sign for our wedding in the lobby of the hotel, and they gave it to us to take home! We felt like this venue was not only more affordable than other wineries in the area, but the whole experience from start to finish made us feel like we were staying in a 10-star hotel.

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! From start to finish, the entire process was so seamless that it almost felt too good to be true, especially given how popular the venue is. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Purity Wine / The Study is such an incredible space! We had our wedding reception here and truly cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience! The owners, Barrie and Noel, were so generous with their time to help us personalize the event -- including making our own wine labels, hosting a wine tasting with our families to choose the wines we wanted for the wedding, and meeting with our planner and DJs ahead of time set up the space perfectly. They were also incredibly accommodating, allowing us to tailor the event to our needs. They transformed the outside area so we could have dinner outside before it got dark, then set up a cozy lounge inside for dessert and wedding cake, and finally rearranged the wine barrels and brought out the disco ball to create the perfect dance floor! Highly highly recommend this for your wedding reception (or any other private events) and also to just stop by for any pop ups or wine fairs!

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.
