Tiffani is a detailed oriented person with a kind heart. She knows how to collaborate and execute. On our wedding day, we felt relaxed knowing that Tiffani would handle everything. Plus, her staff and suggested vendors all worked out nicely. We highly recommend Tiffani and her venue in the redwoods!

Indoor ceremonies and receptions can be hosted in various locations on the property. Camp Carmel Valley offers 33 cabins, 4 houses, and bunk rooms onsite to accommodate up to 120 overnight guests.

My wife and I toured one venue (The Camp at Carmel Valley) and once we did, we knew it was our spot. What an amazing experience from beginning to end. David, the camp director, was extremely professional yet personable throughout the entire process. The Camp itself is also a dream location. Stunning views, warm atmosphere, and a totally zen experience. Our guests really enjoyed staying on-site and the accommodations are unique, comfortable, and amazing! David helped ensure that all our vendors had easy communication and setup, and connected us with awesome vendors as well. We were able to totally customize our experience and make it very "us". We visited The Camp this year on our anniversary, and the amazing memories of our wedding day came flooding back. Our guests still talk about our wedding, and I have no doubt that The Camp played a huge role in our memorable experience!

The Lighthouse Glen Cove Marina

5.0

Vallejo, CA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Limited services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $9,000

Welcome to the Lighthouse - a serene waterfront oasis and event property for weddings, special celebrations, corporate events, and more. Nestled in Glen Cove among rolling hills and a majestic waterfront—this historic building, originally built in 1910 and moved from another location, is rich in local history and has been renovated to include a combination of modern-day conveniences and historic charm. Your Celebration Awaits at The Lighthouse at Glen Cove Marina. A one-of-a-kind destination for once-in-a-lifetime affairs. Please note: The Lighthouse is not an all-inclusive venue. As such, clients must hire licensed and insured vendors, including food and beverage, for their Lighthouse event. Please refer to the Preferred Partners page on our website for a list of pre-approved vendors to choose from. The Lighthouse proudly serves and celebrates all races, ethnicities, orientations, identities, and religions.

Both my wife and I are from bay areas so it was important to get married by the water. I can’t stress enough how beautiful this venue is. It’s pretty much all inclusive, you can bring your own booze, vendors and decorations. It includes a stay in their fabulous inn which is 4 bedrooms. Our whole bridal party stayed and it was the best experience. We decided to book the night before too. You can even take pictures on the Marina docks right next to the property (for a small fee). The place itself is so dreamy, we used one lawn for our ceremony and one for lawn games and our cocktail tables. Watching the sunset from the reception space and the sparkly lights on both lawns was just sooo gorgeous. Now for the team, they went ABOVE and BEYOND to accommodate our requests and answer all my hundred questions and they were so flexible with us when we had to postpone for Covid twice. We are incredibly grateful for the team. They shared all their tips and tricks and made our wedding perfect. The coordination between the wedding venue and our planner was flawless. And best part was the seamless delivery of our late night snack, hot pretzels! And the space perfect accommodated a photo booth which everyone loved. We finally got married in September 2023! I highly recommend as a wedding venue 10/10.

Log Cabin at the Presidio

5.0

San Francisco, CA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $11,490

Within the Fort Scott campus along the Presidio's western shore, not far from the Golden Gate Bridge, this rustic cabin is ideal for wedding celebrations. Feel cozy indoors or step out to the generous lawn with panoramic views of the San Francisco skyline. Dating back to 1937, step into history and enjoy the rustic grandeur of this Army Clubhouse or enjoy the patio and lawn with views of the world-famous Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco city skyline. By choosing this unique, rustic wedding venue, couples can relax with a stress-free planning experience while also hosting a grand event that impresses their guests! As with all Wedgewood Weddings venues, our dedicated event planning team makes everything about the wedding planning experience a breeze.

We loved our wedding at the Log Cabin. We booked it sight unseen since we weren’t able to travel out, but honestly it was even better than the pictures(though those were pretty accurate!). It feels cozy but also elegant. Everything was clear in terms of pricing and we never felt like there were any hidden costs. In fact, based on my costing out similar venues I felt like this was a great deal and I’m sure everyone who came to our wedding thought we paid double what we actually did. Any questions we had were quickly answered by the team, which was greatly appreciated. I don’t think it ever took longer than 24 hours to get a response. Throughout the process the team was incredibly helpful and kept us on track. We brought our own photographer and there was no issue with that at all. We used their bakery(so tasty!!), florist, and DJ. All their vendors were amazing honestly. The day of the wedding things went smoothly and we felt very taken care of. There was not a single thing for us to worry about and the transition from day of coordinator to our banquet captain all went very well. We worked most with Jimmy and Duckie leading up to the wedding, then had Libby for our coordinator, and then Juan was our banquet captain. They were all so fantastic. Food was amazing - our guests have continued to tell us how much they loved everything. That was the one area we were semi nervous about only because we hadn’t been able to try all of our food. What we did try at the quarterly tasting was tasty, but it was the only unknown for us. But again, everyone loved it and we did too. Best of all, our guests could not stop raving about the venue. Many people have told us it was the best wedding they’ve been to in a long time and we had the best time!

The Village, Big Sur was an absolute dream to work with, creating our "Night Before" celebration. I could not be happier with our evening and dinner! The staff was amazing both planning and executing our event which was held on the lawn and in "the barn", a truly gorgeous, serene setting. Attention to detail was evident, personal and thoughtful. The evening began with a "welcome" signature cocktail, champagne, and a beautiful canape' station. Dinner followed with a land and sea inspired menu. Absolute perfection! Thank you Catherine, Chef Tim, and Matt for making our special night unforgettable.

The Holly Farm

5.0

Carmel-by-the-sea, CA
  • Up to 250 guests
  • Limited services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $57,000

This is a special place. The moment you walk through the welcoming rustic gate and past a quintessential redwood barn, you enter a quiet, peaceful world of bird-song, the splash of water falling, tropical plantings of every conceivable varietal, winding paths, and cottages tucked away among exotic palms, banana, and ancient cypress trees. Abundant oak trees and giant prickly-pear cacti stand sentinel. Wooden benches and comfortably-cushioned, bent willow chairs in secluded, shady oases offer places to sit, to rest and to absorb the quiet. This spectacular private estate is a sanctuary, nestled along the Santa Lucia Mountain Range. Family-owned and operated, this expansive Carmel jungle hideaway was created exclusively for destination weddings or for those looking for a relaxing, retreat-style experience. Your closest family and friends gather to spend 2-5 nights together at your own private oasis, a hidden Shangri-la- your home base for days of celebration of love. All are welcome.

I always highly recommend Holly Farm for so many reasons. In additional to feeling intimately in the tropical forest, you will be surrounded by love. Erin and Ryan reflect their hearts in everything they do. When you’re here, you’re family. Accepted, loved and supported which is exactly what matters when choosing where to hold your special weekend.
