As a violinist for weddings I experience all types of venues but this one is particularly special because it is away from everything, private and peaceful. The property manager, Scena, is very gracious and helpful. The swimming pool is such a beautiful one, lodge and property with a lot of space for your guests to enjoy.

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

Union Brick By Wedgewood Weddings was the perfect venue for our wedding day. From the beginning, their communication was quick, detailed, open and honest, which put us at ease throughout the planning process. The venue itself was absolutely beautiful, with a great value for the large and versatile space. Amanda, our event pre-wedding coordinator, went above and beyond to ensure every detail was taken care of - she answered every question, email and call, and was always there for my husband, myself and my mom. On the day of the wedding, Kayla, our day-of coordinator, was detailed, thorough and wonderful, making sure everything ran smoothly. Our banquet staff and bartenders were also attentive and made sure we and our guests were taken care of all night long. We are so grateful to the Union Brick team for making our special day truly perfect.

From the moment we toured Olympic Valley Stables, it just felt right. The setting, the openness, and the mountain backdrop immediately stood out, and we both knew this was where we wanted to get married. It is an incredibly beautiful venue and truly the perfect location for an outdoor mountain wedding. It had everything we were looking for in a venue and more. On the wedding day, the space was even more stunning than we remembered. Our guests could not stop talking about the views and how special the setting felt. There is something really calming and grounding about being surrounded by the mountains, and it made the entire day feel meaningful and unforgettable. One of the things we loved most about Olympic Valley Stables is how versatile the space is. It feels like a blank canvas in the best way, allowing you to make the day completely your own. Mich and Sarah were kind, welcoming, and patient. We were able to bring our vision to life while still letting the natural beauty of the venue shine through. We are so grateful we were able to get married here and cannot imagine a better place to have celebrated our wedding.

We are from Las Vegas and wanted a semi-destination wedding, so we decided to explore Tahoe and booked flights to tour venues. From the moment we arrived at Palisades, we immediately fell in love. We loved everything about the property: the village, accommodations, location, activities, and, most importantly, the breathtaking views from our selected venue, High Camp. We toured several other venues, but none came close to what Palisades had to offer. We initially selected the Olympic Valley Event Center as our venue and later upgraded to High Camp during the wedding planning process. One of our favorite aspects of choosing Palisades was that both venues were reserved for us as backup options in case of inclement weather. This gave us peace of mind knowing we did not have to worry about another wedding taking place at Palisades on the same day. We had a long engagement, and as soon as wedding dates for 2026 became available, we secured our date and placed our deposit. After booking the venue, we also decided to host our rehearsal dinner on-site, which was a wonderful addition to our wedding weekend. As we got closer to our wedding date, we had the pleasure of working with Skye, and she was fantastic. The venue does not assign a dedicated coordinator until about six months before your wedding, and prior to being connected with Skye, communication was somewhat inconsistent. We often had to follow up multiple times to confirm details and add certain services for our wedding day. There were a few communication challenges throughout the planning process. One significant issue was that we were not informed until six months before our wedding that the in-house baker was no longer available and that we would need to secure a baker ourselves. We later learned that the venue had been aware of this change for several months before notifying us, which resulted in additional stress as we had to quickly find a baker from out of town. This was not something we had anticipated so close to our wedding date. We also recommend carefully counting any rented flatware before delivering it to the venue and afterwards. We did not do this and ended up being short approximately 50 utensils, which resulted in an additional charge from the flatware rental company. We are unsure whether this was due to the venue, or a miscount on the rental company end, but it is something future couples should keep in mind. Despite these challenges, the food and service on our wedding day were exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was attentive and professional throughout the entire event. We selected the lobster rolls as one of our appetizers, and they were a huge hit with our guests. We even had guests waiting near the service station hoping to grab another one! We received countless compliments about our menu selections, and the bar line was consistently well-managed with minimal wait times. Overall, despite a few planning hiccups, we highly recommend Palisades as a wedding venue. Their team knows what they are doing, the location is breathtaking, and the experience they provide is truly special. Our wedding day was everything we hoped it would be, and we are so grateful we chose Palisades to celebrate such an important moment in our lives.
