I had the pleasure of working at Rancho Victoria Weddings last year, and I was blown away. The surrounding landscape is beautiful, the farmhouse is nice and cozy, the grounds are wonderful, and the staff was friendly and professional. I love how the ceremony and reception sites are separated but not too far away. The bar area is unique, and the vineyards are close by. If you want a country farm house/vineyard vibe for your wedding, definitely swing by Rancho Victoria Weddings.

Planning a multi-day Indian wedding is challenging, but planning a destination Indian wedding in Tahoe came with an incredible number of benefits and challenges. Somehow, the wedding and event coordination team at Palisades managed to take on 200 out-of-town guests and 3 days of events and turn it into the best weekend of our lives! From the attentive guest experience for our friends and family staying on-site to curating a brand new Indian fusion menu for our mountaintop Sangeet, Mercedes and her team went above and beyond to make everything perfect. Our guests are still talking about how incredible our locations were (Sangeet at High Camp, Ceremony in front of Olympic Valley Lodge and Reception inside the lodge) and I still can't believe how lucky we were to find our dream venue. Every single person we worked with went out of their way to work with us and our families and did it with the most positive, professional and proactive mentality that made us feel so comfortable and excited. Choose Palisades and I guarantee you'll have the best possible guest experience and scenery for your big day!

The Ranch at Stoney Creek was the perfect venue for our wedding weekend. Their communication was always timely, helpful, and friendly, putting us at ease throughout the planning process. They reminded us of things that we hadn't thought of throughout the planning process and always had an option for a solution if we did not have one. The quality of their work and overall value was truly breathtaking - the floral bouquets they put together were beyond what we could have imagined, and their coordinator Michelle has an incredible eye for detail, ensuring our vision came to life in their tranquil and versatile space. Having a 3-day wedding celebration was something we had never heard of before, but The Ranch made it an absolute dream - from the welcome party with s'mores on Friday, to the main event on Saturday, and the farewell brunch on Sunday. We relive our special day over and over and cannot thank The Ranch enough for everything they did to make it so memorable.

Palm Springs offers dramatic desert venues with mountain backdrops and striking midcentury modern architecture that photographs beautifully.

How Much Do Wedding Venues in California Cost?
