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

We are absolutely thrilled with our wedding at Stemple Creek. It's a blank slate in many ways, and requires some imagination, but trust your vision! It is worth it. On our wedding day, it was cloudy, on the chillier side for July, and the eucalyptus grove where we had our ceremony was very windy, but all of this just added to the beauty of Stemple Creek and made us all feel like we were in some other time and place. It honestly exceeded our expectations. Our guests were flat out stunned by the venue. Everything, from the grove, to the cocktail hour space, to the bar-shed, to the barn was perfect. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Katie was a super generous and kind host, and her dog Schaeffer is the sweetest. Coby was also very gracious throughout the event. Thank you Stemple Creek!

We hosted an Anniversary Party at the Hall of the Above was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, the energy was electric, the atmosphere elegant, and the celebration truly fitting for such a milestone event.

We wanted to give our milestone anniversary recipients a wow-worthy experience, and the Hall delivered—blending historic charm with modern vibes in the best way possible. We couldn’t have asked for better hosts than Diane and Rod—their hospitality and attention to detail made the night seamless and special, right down to accommodating my light color change requests.

We can’t say enough positive things about our experience for our wedding with Glenn Ranch. Lori and Mark went completely above and beyond to make sure our special day was all we dreamed of. They were able to offer advice and recommendations with their years of experience. They made sure our day went off without a hitch and that we did not have to worry about a single thing. The ability to have access to the property before and after the wedding really sets this venue apart because it allows set up and clean up with no stress. The day of coordinator, Jenny, was also incredibly easy to work with. She made sure our wedding day ran smoothly, even in the rain. I can’t recommend this venue, and these people, enough! Thank you Lori for the wedding venue of our dreams!

The Ranch at Lake Sonoma was the perfect venue for our wedding. It had a gorgeous, natural setting with a relaxed, DIY feel that gave us so much freedom to make the day our own. We loved that we could bring in our own vendors and design every detail to match our style — nothing felt cookie-cutter or restricted. One of the absolute highlights was the sunset view — golden hour over the lake was breathtaking and made for some of our favorite photos (and moments). It truly felt magical. Even better, the campground right next door made the whole weekend feel like a celebration, not just a single night. We got to spend real time with our guests — sharing meals, gathering around the campfire, and soaking in the post-wedding joy together. It created a vibe we’ll never forget. If you’re looking for a beautiful, flexible venue with incredible views and space to turn your wedding into a weekend experience, The Ranch at Lake Sonoma is it. We can’t recommend it enough!

Nicasio has been unspoiled by time, set in a secluded valley and surrounded by views of grassy hills, woods, and placidly grazing ranch animals. Rancho Nicasio is the town’s heart and soul, set at the north side of Nicasio’s New England-style town square

We held an intimate reception at Rancho Nicasio in the Western Room and it was absolutely incredible. The building in general is beautiful but the Western room was so warm and inviting. The rental included the use of a large patio and it gave my guests plenty of room to spread out and mingle. There is also plenty of parking! The food was absolutely delicious and was a generous portion size. The real highlight of this venue however is the event coordinator Marina! She treated my small reception with the care and attention of a large event. She had the answer for every question I had and was always very easy to get a hold of. The way Marina and her team decorated the space was even more beautiful than what I had imagined in my head. Just a few weeks before my event I had a family member go through a sudden surgery and when I reached out to Marina about discussing some dietary accommodations she jumped right onto finding the perfect meal for them and truly went out of her way to make sure my guest was taken care of. Her compassion during a difficult time meant the absolute world to me and my family. If you're thinking about booking here do it asap! This place was truly a gem with absolutely incredible people working here!

The communication from The Estate Yountville team was not the best, but when things went wrong, they did correct them promptly.

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.

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.

Red Barn Ranch is an exceptionally beautiful property in lovely Northern California. I have had the pleasure of photographing weddings there for the last 12 years of my career. The thing I love lost about Red Barn Ranch are the expansive and gorgeous grounds they have on location. Literally acres & acres of beautiful land! As a photographer, I look for beautiful lighting wherever I go. When I am photographing a wedding at Red Barn Ranch, I know that I will find stunning lighting and backdrops for my clients- to give them the most beautiful portraits! It doesn’t matter if it’s noon or 5:00pm- the light at Red Barn Ranch is uniquely lovely at anytime. I can always find a gorgeous spot with flattering light to make my bride look radiant. My clients have so many options as far as locations to photograph them in- fields of grass, rolling hills, barns, mature oak trees, retired railroads… you name it! The views are expansive and gorgeous. This is a venue that is universally loved by all guests, very warm and comfortable lots of room. The venue owners are exceptionally kind and helpful, very welcoming. Schedule a tour today and see for yourself why it is such a beautiful and popular spot!

We had the absolute best experience hosting our wedding here. Natasha Norman was incredible to work with through the entire planning process. She was clear on pricing, set our expectations well, was incredibly responsive, and helped coordinate the event on the day of the wedding. We asked for some extra time to set up the room and, since the room hadn't been booked the day before the event, she let us come in the day prior to get everything in order. Natasha spoke with our DJ and coordinated for his set-up, which was very helpful. The team setting up the event also did the perfect job of setting up the tables and outdoor chairs exactly as we'd asked. I changed my mind on the arch at the last minute, and they had no problem making the change. The wedding was incredible, our guests felt comfortable in their rooms and were pleased they could bring their dogs so they didn't have to hire a dog-sitter. Everyone was impressed by the view and by the fact that the sun was setting behind the sweetheart table in the Bayview Ballroom. I also want to give a shoutout to the banquet manager who made us feel at home, kindly brought us beverages as we were setting up, and took care of us throughout the stay. I’ve received at least half a dozen compliments on the qualify of the food served, and I felt the pricing was very reasonable – especially when compared to other hotels on the water nearby. I also loved that the hotel provided us a contingency plan if we needed to move our outdoor wedding to the indoors because of rain or anything else. We truly felt special and valued and would use this venue again in a heartbeat.

We absolutely loved having our wedding at the Palace Theater. It’s such a unique and beautiful venue, with something for everyone. We wanted ourselves and our guests to get to enjoy ourselves the way each person wants to, and that is absolutely the experience we had. Our guests were blown away by the environment and range of vibes/activities. The best way we could describe it is fun. We literally have pictures of our guests with jaws dropped as they walked into the cabaret and they learned there was more to the venue. The drinks are excellent and the food options are amazing, we loved supporting other local businesses. Between the cabaret, the casino, the jazz bar, the speakeasy within the speakeasy, the photo booth, and the tarot reader, there’s nothing we would change if we were to do it again. Theres such a range of offerings that you can customize to make it your own. The team there is amazing to work and ideate with in setting up the wedding of our dreams. It felt like they were genuinely having fun planning it with us. Damaris and Geoff were awesome. Also, they have a package that can add an external day-of planner from a partner company, and since we did our ceremony elsewhere, this was huge for making our day perfect and stress-free. Our guests still tell us about how much they loved the experience. We had such an incredible time. Our wedding really felt like it fit us, if you’re looking to have a wedding or event that feels more like you, this is the place to do it.

The event coordinator (the fabulous Mandy!), audio, lighting, catering, servers, bar service, coat check…..was perfection because the team is their own and prideful for the space and its legendary music history.
