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)

Unforgettably beautiful no-fuss outdoor venue with far superior service! I am writing this review during our honeymoon— Churon is *that* good. LOCATION While at Churon, you will quickly be transported to a destination with rolling hills of grape vines, hot air balloons in the distance (mornings), and old European charm. Our wedding was in Nov. During our late afternoon/evening wedding, our backdrop was a beautiful cotton-candy orange/pink sunset, with greenery still on the vines. Here is where I believe Churon’s location stands out: the direction in which Churon faces and its position relative to the hills are key. ON-SITE FEATURES While the venue has the capacity to accommodate more, it was perfectly sized (with great open space around the grassy area and fountain) for our 115 person event. Ample parking directly surrounding the back of the venue; overflow parking also available. Churon has 20 rooms at their inn, each individually decorated. Room block with the packages is very reasonable. Good variety for prep and cocktail hour photo shoots. I took comfort in knowing that there are backup options at Churon in case of inclement weather. FOOD/CATERING Churon also has an on-site kitchen with expert staff who take pride in their work and food— they are trusted service, even for adjacent locations, as well. Churon catering addressed each dietary restriction. They served an excellent pre-ceremony and toasting champagne. EVENTS CONSULTATION & SERVICE Aside from the stunning location, the events consultation and service was my favorite part of this venue. The team is a mighty and experienced one. Meilee was a wonderfully thoughtful contact, with consistent fast turnaround on our requests and clear correspondence with our vendors. Churon offers (2) packages— the standard and the platinum; open bar of wine and beer is included in both packages. Churon also offers a few small things for borrowing as needed— a few easels, table number signs, card box, etc. Finally, I’d like to highlight the spaces for getting ready at Churon. Our bridespeople got ready in the bridal suite. The groomsmen got ready in Churon’s large conference room, which also has its own bar area, as well as couches and games (ping pong/pool table, chess, etc). This space was another feature that distinguished Churon from other venues in the vicinity. You’ll be glad you got a dedicated space for both the bride and groom! TIPS — Ask if Churon is able to open their lobby for small after-hours time with limited guests. Temecula quiet hours begin at 10pm, so your event will need to wrap by then. Thankfully, Churon kept their lobby open for us for an intimate smaller after-gathering until 11pm. We sat on the couches by the fireplace and caught up with some guests we didn’t get a chance to speak with as much during the wedding. We’ll treasure this memory! — Ask about your needs. The Churon team is experienced and creative. — Book and stay at the bridal suite on the first floor for the night prior to your event. The bridal suite during the night of your event is included in your wedding package, but booking the night prior will ease your logistics and minimize morning setup time for you. FINAL THOUGHTS We are so grateful for the peace of mind that came with Churon and working with Meilee; they gracefully accommodated many of our last-second needs. We would recommend Churon to anyone who is looking for a charming and quaint venue with a wonderful workhorse team to match.

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.

Monserate Winery is the best wedding venue! The venue itself is stunning, photos do not do it justice. The food is some of the best wedding food we’ve had. Their team is amazing.

She answered every email, listened to all our concerns & put our worries at ease. Between all the detail meetings, our food tasting & random trips to walk the venue, she was there every step of the way. She feels more like a great friend than our venue coordinator & we can’t be more thankful for her. The day of, she made sure everything was perfect in the suites & checked in throughout the day. She even grabbed us from our private cocktail hour to capture the beautiful sunset, which is now one of our favorite photos!

We had our wedding at Danza del Sol Winery by Wedgewood Weddings and it was absolutely beautiful.

Choosing this venue was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment we first connected with the team, we felt supported, valued, and confident that we were in great hands. Every staff member we worked with was kind, knowledgeable, and committed to helping create a day that was uniquely ours. A feature we absolutely loved was the Borrow Barn. Having access to such a wide selection of décor made the planning process so much easier and allowed us to create the look we wanted without the expense and hassle of purchasing everything ourselves. It was an amazing resource and added so much charm to our wedding day. The venue itself is simply beautiful. The natural surroundings provided a stunning backdrop for our ceremony and photos, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how gorgeous the property was. Everywhere you looked, there was another perfect view. What truly sets this venue apart, though, is the combination of its beauty and the incredible people behind it. Their attention to detail, responsiveness, and genuine care made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free.

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!

Our coordinator, Julia, made everything feel effortless. She truly knows every detail of what it takes to plan the perfect event and executed everything flawlessly on the big day. The newly expanded bridal suite is gorgeous—spacious, elegant, and ideal for getting ready and capturing those special bridal photos. We also had iffy weather leading up to our wedding, and Julia had a seamless backup plan ready to go just in case. Knowing they were completely prepared for rain gave us such peace of mind, and their flexibility ensured everything would have been just as beautiful no matter what the forecast decided to do. We couldn’t recommend Flying Cloud Farm more highly for any special event. It’s a magical place run by truly wonderful people!

Hola, yo no soy de escribir reseñas pero en esta ocasión amerita hacerlo, si pudiera le diera 100 estrellas a Suisun Valley Inn. Desde el primer día que fuimos a conocer las instalaciones, el señor Gary fue muy atento y respetuoso, contestó a todas nuestras dudas. Tal vez nuestro evento fue algo fuera de lo común, a diferencia de los eventos de boda que se organizan aquí, nosotros contratamos el granero para el 25 de Diciembre para celebrar los 15 años de mi hija , sabemos que son días festivos donde la gente está con su familia , más sin embargo recibimos todo su apoyo para que el evento se hiciera realidad en este día tan especial , puedo decirles que fue una experiencia maravillosa, fue en evento de ensueño y de igual manera nos hospedamos en la casa, donde realmente nos sentimos como en nuestro hogar , sinceramente todas las instalaciones estuvieron limpias en todo momento, Gary estuvo al pendiente de si necesitábamos algo y al igual si la empresa que contratamos para la planeación necesitaban apoyo. Quiero animar a todos los papás que deseen hacerle su quinceañera a su hija, que consideren contratar los servicios de Suisun Valley Inn, ya que harán que su hija viva una experiencia única y de ensueño, no se arrepentirán. Sr Gary agradezco todas sus atenciones y muy pronto estaremos trabajando con usted para los 15 años de mi otra hija… Bendiciones

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.

Our recent wedding at DG vineyards was incredible. The views were stunning and I think choosing this venue contributed to my wedding planning being so stress free.

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.

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 Zack Mesa Winery was nothing short of magical. From the breathtaking views to the beautifully maintained grounds, every detail created the perfect backdrop for our special day. The venue itself is absolutely stunning — romantic, elegant, and warm all at once. What truly set our experience apart, though, was the hospitality manager, Jake. From the very beginning of the planning process, Jake was incredibly courteous, attentive, and thoughtful. He took the time to answer every question, ease every concern, and make sure no detail was overlooked. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Jake made it feel seamless and enjoyable. His professionalism, calm demeanor, and genuine care made us feel completely supported every step of the way. On the day of the wedding, everything flowed effortlessly, and that’s a true testament to Jake’s organization and dedication. He went above and beyond to ensure not only that we were taken care of, but that our family and guests felt welcomed and comfortable as well.

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.

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.

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

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!

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

Which California Venues Are Fully Accessible?

The Griffith House features wheelchair-accessible pathways throughout its Spanish-style grounds including the private ceremony lawn and separate preparation spaces for couples.

Accessibility options have improved greatly across California venues in recent years.

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. Southern California venues offer more flexibility especially during winter months when you can still enjoy beautiful weather while potentially securing better rates.
