“We are so happy we went with Chabot Space and Science Center for our wedding. We wanted something unique that also aligned with our interests -- our background in physics, astronomy, and space. The staff at Chabot are incredibly kind and were quick to respond to our emails and questions. The space was incredibly expansive and unique for our guests. The planetarium ceremony was our favorite part, and we will treasure those memories forever. As an educator myself, I fully appreciate that Chabot is a non-profit organization and that my deposit/rental fee goes back to the community and staff. Thank you again for making our day so special!”

“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.”

“We stayed from Friday - Sunday, and it was the wedding of our dreams! On friday, we were able to set up the barn ahead of time and have our rehearsal dinner in the backyard. My bridesmaids stayed the night in the house, making the morning of so fun and stress free. It was DIY, and we were given the freedom to decorate and do whatever we wanted, bringing all of our Pinterest boards to life. We had the ceremony with the vineyards in the background, cocktail hour was behind the house and we moved inside of the barn for the rest of the night. We danced the night away and did a sparkler send off! So beautiful & fun! I recommend having your wedding here!”

“Shadelands Ranch was the perfect venue for us! Christine was incredible in her communication with us start to finish, answering any and all questions I had. They are a small team but we felt well taken care of throughout the whole process! If you’re looking for a venue that feels like the perfect mix between beautiful backyard and nature, you found it! The landscaping is beautiful, there is so much space (we had 60 people but it could easily hold 150), it is both kid & dog friendly, tons of parking in the back lot, and feels completely private even though it’s on a main street. It made all of our wedding day dreams come true! It is also one of the most budget friendly options we found while still providing an incredible backdrop to such a special day.

Valerie and Briana were incredibly supportive and patient, always quick to answer our questions and guide us every step of the way. Oscar was equally wonderful—kind, attentive, and informative.

Every detail we had discussed was brought to life beautifully—it was even better than we imagined. The team was so attentive, making sure we had drinks to stay hydrated and appetizers so we could actually enjoy a bite before the festivities began. Throughout the evening, everything ran flawlessly thanks to their professional coordination. We especially loved the open windows framing the gorgeous sunset—it added such a whimsical, romantic touch. The elegant draping created a warm, inviting atmosphere that tied everything together perfectly. Our wedding night was truly the best night of our lives, and we wouldn’t change a single thing. We are endlessly grateful to the entire Fairview team for creating such a beautiful, memorable experience. If we could, we’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.”

“The gardens at Heather farms was everything we were looking for in a venue. We wanted outdoors with lots of plant life, a reception space that was not a barn, fairytale vibes, ability to choose our own vendors, have a full bar, plenty of time at the venue to have the day of our dreams, and LGBTQ friendly. The gardens delivered all of this and was well within our budget. As a lesbian couple it was very important to us to find a venue and vendors that felt like supportive allies and from our first meeting with GHF we felt very welcome. We also loved that the only vendor they had a preferred list for was catering (the list had many great options and we were very happy with our choice), this allowed us to ensure that all of our other vendors we hired were also allies or members of the queer community. They were great to work with and everything went so smooth the day-of. It was also stunning, the rose gardens feel so magical and I loved that we didn’t need to worry about much decor for the ceremony space. Everything was beautifully in bloom even in mid-October. If I could go back and do it over again I would still choose to get married at the gardens in a heartbeat! Another thing we love is that it’s open to the public when it is not closed for private events, so leading up to our wedding we spent a lot of time visiting just because! We took my mom there for a Mother’s Day picnic and also went with friends. I can’t wait to return as newlyweds again and again.”

“We celebrated our 26-year vow renewal at the Heirloom Inn, and it was everything we dreamed of. One tour of this place, we were hooked and we stopped searching elsewhere. Tiffany serves as both the venue owner and coordinator. She absolutely knows how to make everything look so dreamy. They have everything you need for decor available. We created beautiful centerpieces from the items she had. Platters, aisle decorations, alter decorations. All tables and chairs… they set out appetizers, late night snacks and brewed coffee for us! just wow! Our event happened during an unexpected heat wave, but Tiffany and her team did everything possible to help guests stay comfortable. They made sure there was plenty of water available, encouraged guests to stay hydrated, constantly moving umbrellas for shade. The grounds are absolutely magical. The shady garden, koi pond, vintage charm, twinkle lights, chandeliers, and fairy-tale atmosphere created the most romantic setting imaginable. There were plenty of cozy seating and lounge areas where guests could mingle, relax, and enjoy the evening. We were checked on constantly, our guests were taken care of, and countless details were handled behind the scenes. The venue is nearly all-inclusive, which removed so much stress from the planning process. As an added bonus, the couple gets to stay overnight, allowing the celebration to end without having to rush anywhere else. They tell you go rest and all your stuff will be packed ready for you in the morning! The Heirloom Inn didn’t just host our vow renewal—they helped make the wedding we never had come true. After 26 years of marriage, we finally got the celebration we had always dreamed about. We are incredibly grateful to Tiffany and her team and would recommend the Heirloom Inn without hesitation to any couple looking for a beautiful, stress-free, and unforgettable wedding experience.”
