We loved the idea of booking a reception venue that already had an incredible staff in-house. GAMH provided us with great care and kind but honest input every step of the way. 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. It was special to introduce so many out-of-town guests to this beautiful classic of a venue in the heart of our city and dance the night away. We’ll never forget it and will enjoy attending shows that much more forever.

Our friends and family loved the food and the bread favors. Boudin left the bakery catwalk open for us, which everyone enjoyed. Boudin also made custom Halloween shapes for us per my request (bats).

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

This review is long overdue as my wedding was in September of 2025, but it is SO warranted! I could not have asked for a better experience than having my wedding at the Presidio Golf Course. Kat and her team were a DREAM to work with. I had no formal planner, and yet, I don't think I needed one due to the amazing help of Kat. We hired her to be our day of coordinator, but truly, she did so much more than this. From the beginning tour, I knew that the Presidio was the right choice (and I toured 20 other venues)! Everything felt so smooth in the lead up, we were given time to come to the venue the day before to practice so we could have our nerves a bit assuaged the day of, and then the wedding day... I truly can say that I would change nothing! The night before the wedding I somehow managed not to sleep at all, and arriving at the venue I was feeling a bit low energy and hungry. Before anything even started, Kat had the head chef make me a bowl of buttered noodles and a coffee, and I knew that I had made the right choice. It comfortably fit our whole guest count which was somewhere in the 160 range and with various packages to choose from, this still felt like an affordable option for the city. The baby Guinness shots, the personal note to congratulate us on being married, the golf cart to sweep us away for pictures in the fog - I don't plan on getting married again, but if I ever need to, the good thing is I won't have to do any planning, because I would choose this venue time and time again. Save yourself the time and energy and stress of finding a venue, and just choose the Presidio and Kat and her team!

We hosted our wedding at the Presidio Officers' Club and had truly the most special, incredible day of our lives. It was clean, well-organized, with delicious food and friendly staff. Not to mention, the planning team at the Presidio, through Wedgewood Weddings, was truly best-in-class. Wedgewood prepared us so well, providing a planning binder and step-by-step instructions. They checked in with us multiple times, providing walk-throughs, and answering every question extremely promptly. We especially loved our planner and day-of coordinator, Christian, who went out of his way to make everything so seamless. Christian taught us how to do our ceremony, including little details such as hand placement, went out of his way to accommodate a creative painting engagement, and provided private time for us newlyweds. He was perfect! So grateful to this beautiful venue and our wonderful team. We will treasure our experience with Wedgewood forever.

The Pearl will forever hold a special place in the hearts of myself and my husband. It was the first venue we toured and we knew right away it was going to make for such a special wedding day. We are now 2 days post wedding and we couldn't be happier with our decision. The entire planning process was a breeze thanks to Carrie. All of our guests raved abut how amazing it was that the ceremony and reception were at the same location! We did our ceremony on the roof, as well as our cocktail hour on the roof. Then we had guests walk downstairs to our reception area. The bartenders were incredible and did a fantastic job keeping our 130 guests well fueled. We hired Melons Catering, a caterer on The Pearl's short list of caterers, who absolutely knocked it out of the park when it came to the food. Guests couldn't stop talking about the quality and service of dinner! We are over the moon with how our wedding went and have zero bad things to say about The Pearl, or anyone who works there. If you're looking for a venue that screams urban city, but green and organic as well... look no further, as The Pearl can do it all. 10/10 recommend!!
