The pricing on here is wrong. The venue fee alone is almost 30k. Then the food and beverage minimum is 50k but if you have 150 guests you will spend more like 80k. Plus there is a service fee of at least 13k. So BEFORE photographer, footwear, videographer, band, decor etc. you’re already at around 123k.

Awarded Best of Zola
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 review is long overdue as my wedding was in September of 2025, but it is SO warranted! I could not have asked for a better experience than having my wedding at the Presidio Golf Course. Kat and her team were a DREAM to work with. I had no formal planner, and yet, I don't think I needed one due to the amazing help of Kat. We hired her to be our day of coordinator, but truly, she did so much more than this. From the beginning tour, I knew that the Presidio was the right choice (and I toured 20 other venues)! Everything felt so smooth in the lead up, we were given time to come to the venue the day before to practice so we could have our nerves a bit assuaged the day of, and then the wedding day... I truly can say that I would change nothing! The night before the wedding I somehow managed not to sleep at all, and arriving at the venue I was feeling a bit low energy and hungry. Before anything even started, Kat had the head chef make me a bowl of buttered noodles and a coffee, and I knew that I had made the right choice. It comfortably fit our whole guest count which was somewhere in the 160 range and with various packages to choose from, this still felt like an affordable option for the city. The baby Guinness shots, the personal note to congratulate us on being married, the golf cart to sweep us away for pictures in the fog - I don't plan on getting married again, but if I ever need to, the good thing is I won't have to do any planning, because I would choose this venue time and time again. Save yourself the time and energy and stress of finding a venue, and just choose the Presidio and Kat and her team!

Fairview Napa was a wonderful choice for our wedding venue. From the start, their communication was quick, responsive, and concise, making the planning process smooth and stress-free. The venue itself was beautiful, and we loved being able to have our ceremony and reception outdoors - it really fit our vision perfectly. The staff was amazing and helped execute our event flawlessly. The only downside was that while Fairview Napa is an all-inclusive venue, the included vendors for things like the florals and cake were not up to the quality we were hoping for, so we had to upgrade those services, which is extra money. I highly recommend their DJ and Officiant services, they helped contribute to making the day extra special. After upgrading services, we were also very pleased with the florist and the aesthetics of the cake! Overall though, the value was great and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Fairview Napa to any couple looking for a stunning Napa wedding location. Special shout out to Valerie, our wedding coordinator, who worked with us the entire planning process. She is great at her job and her years of experience shine through!

As I’m writing this, my husband and I are on our honeymoon, already reminiscing about one of the most beautiful days of our lives. Looking back, choosing Garden Valley Ranch was one of the easiest and best decisions we made throughout our wedding planning. After months of searching online, comparing venues, and requesting countless quotes, we knew we wanted one thing above all else: to be completely immersed in nature. Garden Valley Ranch was actually the first (and only) venue we toured. We visited in mid February, when most of the garden had been cut back for winter, yet we could still see just how magical it would become once everything bloomed. We said yes almost immediately. The fact that it was so reasonably priced for our guest count and well within our budget was simply an added bonus. The gardens themselves completely stole our hearts. We were married mid June of 2026, and the grounds were absolutely breathtaking. Honestly, I don’t think you can go wrong with any wedding date once spring arrives. Everywhere you turn is filled with color, texture, and natural beauty. There are countless locations for portraits, first looks, and quiet moments together. You couldn’t take a bad photo if you tried. One of my favorite parts of the experience was staying in the onsite Airbnb cottage the night before our wedding and getting ready with my bridesmaids in the Carriage House. It made the entire weekend feel relaxed, intentional, and so special. Our ceremony took place in the Secret Garden, which quickly became our favorite spot on the property. It was the perfect setting for an intimate ceremony, and we loved being able to transition seamlessly into cocktail hour in the same enchanting space. Throughout the evening, guest after guest told us it was the most beautiful wedding venue they had ever attended. The rose gardens are unforgettable. The entire property feels like walking through a storybook. Jessica was an absolute joy to work with from beginning to end. She was kind, responsive, and genuinely excited to help bring our vision to life. We also incorporated Garden Valley Ranch’s handcrafted rose hydrosol sprays as wedding favors, and they were a huge hit with our guests. Such a beautiful keepsake that allowed everyone to take a little piece of the garden home. I could go on and on about this venue, but if you’re looking for a place that feels romantic, peaceful, naturally beautiful, and doesn’t require excessive decorating because the landscape already does the work for you, Garden Valley Ranch is truly something special. We would choose it again in a heartbeat. (Photos below are mostly by Rachel Rose Photography based in Reno, NV)

From the moment I sent an initial request to Diane, the event manager, working with BStar was an absolute Joy. I was able to work with Diane to meet the needs of our group including several dietary restrictions. She had no problem going back and forth and adjusting the menu. When we got to the restaurant we were in the most adorable private room. It was inside, but felt like it was outside with the decor. Each place was set with a personalized menu (we did not ask for this, they just did it on their own). The manager, Matt was amazing. He set us up, made recommendations on drinks and then talked us through the appetizers we had ordered. We had the Appetizer combo platter (Platha dipper, veggie samosas, spring rolls. and firecracker cauliflower ) and Sticky Finger Riblettes and green tea salad. We then ordered off the menu. Each food was better than the next. The manager and our server were so attentive to us. When we got the bill it was perfect. No errors at all. I would literally eat here every day, as well as have a private event here every time I could. Too bad I live on the east coast.

The communication from The Estate Yountville team was not the best, but when things went wrong, they did correct them promptly. I wish more of their team members were on the same page from all departments, but overall, the quality of their work and value was unbeatable. We wanted a 5-star wedding experience, and that's exactly what we got - it was perfection from the food to the service to the stunning venue space. Michelle drove us around the entire property in golf carts for photos all day, and they were so kind to take down the netting on the vineyard itself so our favorite part of the venue could shine. It was truly the perfect day, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience for the price.
