The Suisun Valley Inn is an intimate retreat at the historic 55-acre Monroe Ranch in the heart of Suisun Valley, just east of Napa.

For the 2025 wedding season we will offer indoor weddings/receptions in our new 7500 sq ft barn.

Why you'll love this venue

  • Handles all cleanup logistics
  • Historic touches
  • Has onsite accommodations

Venue considerations

  • Large venue, not ideal for small guest lists
  • Not for you if you prefer a more modern aesthetic
  • Lighting and sound are not included
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.

Mountain Shadows Retreat (The Anti-Venue) provided the perfect backdrop for our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, the staff was prompt, professional, and incredibly helpful in making our vision a reality. The natural setting and stunning views were beyond our expectations - the gorgeous outdoor space truly felt like an oasis. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our special day ran smoothly, and we couldn't have asked for a better venue. We give Mountain Shadows Retreat a 10 out of 10 and would absolutely book there again in a heartbeat. Our wedding day was everything we hoped for and all the thanks to this wonderful venue for helping us create a memory that will last forever.
