“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.”

“Fairview Metropolitan was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, the staff was professional, friendly, and made the entire planning process truly enjoyable. Angela and Trish in particular were so helpful and attentive - they even helped me with my dress before I walked down the aisle when it kept getting messed up. The venue itself was memorizing, with an elegant and peaceful atmosphere that felt absolutely gorgeous. The massive space was the perfect backdrop for our special day, and we couldn't have asked for a more stunning setting. I love Angela and Trish, and I hope I have the chance to work with them again in the future. Fairview Metropolitan truly helped make our wedding day one we'll never forget.”

“MSR was by far our dream venue. Not only are the views and property absolutely stunning, but Scena and Susanne were incredible to work with. Wedding planning is hard and stressful, there’s always something you didn’t think of, but, believe me, Scena already has and has already worked it out for you. A God send Our family and us had so much fun staying here as well. We loved being able to stay for 4 days, wind down with our close family after the wedding, and relive the moments together. It truly makes the weekend more special when you don’t have to pack up and get out the very next day. I could go on and on about how wonderful our weekend was. I highly recommend MSR and working with Scena and Susanne. It’s worth the trust me!”

“San Ramon Waters By Wedgewood Weddings was a stunning venue for our wedding, but we did experience some minor communication issues that caused a bit of stress at the start of the day. The space itself was truly breathtaking, with its amazing new upgrades and beautiful views. However, there were a few details that weren't properly communicated to us, which led to a bit of a rocky start. Although my bridal party and I had lots to deal with prior to ceremony start, these issues were not something our guests would have seen/noticed. To their credit, the Wedgewood team acknowledged their mistakes and upgraded our bar package to make up for it. Overall, the venue was beautiful and the staff did their best to ensure our day went smoothly, despite the initial hiccups. We would recommend San Ramon Waters to other couples looking for a gorgeous wedding location.”

“We had the most beautiful experience getting married at McCauley Estate Vineyards! From the moment we booked the venue, everything was so easy and stress-free. The owners were wonderful to work with and were always so responsive whenever I had a question or needed clarification. They made the planning process feel much easier, especially during those stressful weeks leading up to the wedding. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful — our guests could not stop talking about how gorgeous everything was, and we received so many compliments throughout the night. The ceremony area, gardens, vineyard, and reception space were all stunning, and our wedding photos came out AMAZING because there are so many beautiful spots around the property. Everything looked even better in person than it did in pictures. Our guests also loved the overall atmosphere and how everything flowed from the ceremony to cocktail hour and the reception. We truly could not have asked for a more beautiful setting for our wedding, and I’m so happy we chose McCauley Estate Vineyards for such an important day in our lives. I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone looking for a beautiful, romantic, and memorable place to get married!”
