This was the best wedding venue we could have ever chose. The food was so good. All of the food on our guests plates were empty! Not to mention the venue itself is gorgeous. Their staff was 10/10 to work with and went above and beyond what I expected. If I could do it all over again I would not change a thing!

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.

We decided on Flying Cloud after visiting several places which seemed similar from online research, but once we were there in person it was head and shoulders above the rest. The venue, capacity to do indoor/outdoor and personal touch from Julia made it a no-brainer choice. We were so happy with this decision as they were easy to work with and on our wedding day everything went smoothly. It was super helpful to run by the following morning to pick up leftover items and everything was nearly stacked and waiting for us so we loaded up and were out of there in no time. From start to finish Flying Cloud was excellent.

Mark, Lori and Jenny went above and beyond - they were an absolute DREAM to work with, and I would recommend them if you're considering a rustic, barn setting. They had decor available to use that has been left by other weddings, which helped ease our planning of what to purchase. Keep in mind the time of year that you choose, because in Sonoma County, there are flies in the late summer, and bees/wasps were present in early October. It really felt like we were family to them, and I couldn't have been happier with how they handled our special day. :)
