“We toured several venues, but Guglielmo’s permanent tent and rustic Italian storybook village surrounding is what sold it for us. Also, they had a package deal full of excellent local vendors! We went without a planner, which is risky, of course- but we did it and it wasn’t that hard- simply because with the all-inclusive package, the vendor vetting and research were very easy. Our initial point of contact left the company about a month after we signed, but the woman training under her, Brianna, did a great job assuming the role and owning the position. The wedding was even more beautiful than I could have imagined. The space is so naturally beautiful that when the decorations and settings are placed- it’s just next level simple, rustic luxury. This place is ultimate romance.”

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.

“From the start, Fairview Metropolitan made planning our wedding feel simple and stress-free. Zena, our coordinator, was incredible—she guided us through every decision and kept reassuring us that everything would come together beautifully. It was gorgeous and better than I imagined! The Angela was also very helpful too. Her a Zena communicated clearly about what to expect, and they met our needs perfectly. We worked with Montclair Florist in Oakland, and they created stunning floral arrangements that were even better than we I hopped forChef Maria prepared a delicious meal that had our guests coming back for seconds. The whole day turned out romantic and gorgeous, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience with Fairview Metropolitan.”

“San Ramon Waters by Wedgewood Weddings was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first visited, I knew it was where I wanted to get married. The venue itself is beautiful, well maintained, and created such a warm and special atmosphere for our day. The entire team was incredible to work with from start to finish. They were organized, supportive, responsive, and made the planning process feel so much less stressful. I always felt listened to and taken care of, and on the wedding day, they truly helped everything run seamlessly. After the wedding, so many of our friends and family told us not only how beautiful the venue was, but how amazing the staff was. That meant so much to us because it showed how well our guests were cared for, too. We also really appreciated how customizable the packages were and how many options we had to add personal touches while still keeping everything reasonably priced. From the planning team to the vendors, including DJ, florals, and bakery, everything felt easy and coordinated. We are so grateful to the San Ramon Waters team for helping make our wedding day so beautiful, smooth, and memorable. I would absolutely recommend them to other couples.”
