We got married at Scribner Bend in June. This venue is gorgeous with tons of greenery and florals which cut down on decor costs for us. It is set up perfectly with a separate ceremony, cocktail hour and reception space. We knew immediately after touring that we would not find anything better! They provided a preferred vendor list which led me to an amazing photographer, florist and DJ who all added to the magic of the day. Paisanos catering was incredible as well. Guests could not stop talking about the pesto tortellini for days after! Their team communicated well and provided a lot of insight and help on the day of. Highly recommend Scribner Bend for your wedding!

Swan Lake Weddings and Events was the perfect venue for our special day. Their communication style was very clear, on time, and extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work and overall value was excellent - the lakeview setting was incredibly relaxing and fun for us and all of our guests. One of our favorite parts was being able to stay in the guest house, which made everything so stress-free since we had all of our things at the venue already. My favorite part of the day was having all of my family together on the deck, enjoying the beautiful scenery and each other's company. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding experience.

My husband and I had a gorgeous wedding retreat at Venture in September 2025. Our 3-day retreat allowed us to slow down with the people we love the most and share the beauty of the place we live (Northern California) with those traveling from afar (East Coast, France, Canada). Our wedding was entirely DIY, which gave us the freedom to customize the different moments to our liking. The glamping tents were wonderful. We did not have access to the indoor lodging in the main house (only the bathroom), and the event was still incredible. We filled all the tents and some folks stayed off-site. We loved our vendors and would be more than happy to share more information with those interested (BBQ catering from Oakland, Bay Area coffee truck, local Half Moon Bay caterer for dinner, local florist, killer DJ on Friday and band on Saturday, local photographer, etc). The wedding weekend could not have turned out better. We only have fond memories of this experience. We did most things ourselves (we made the drinks, we designed the paper, signage, etc., and we relied on our supportive community to help us where we needed it), mostly because we were on a very tight budget. We worked closely with our wedding coordinator to ensure all the pieces aligned. The folks at Venture did the best they could with the staff they had. Communication was sometimes a challenge; they had one staff member doing all the outreach and communication with prospective and existing clients. Ensure that you have a very organized/good coordinator and that there is sufficient staff for all of your needs. Ours coordinator and hired staff went above and beyond to ensure that I was not thinking about any logistics or challenges that arose during the weekend retreat. Overall, the venue was a delight. Nestled in the bosom of the coastal redwood forest. I would recommend this venue to any couple looking for something genuine, bespoke, and flexible. The weather was perfect, the air was perfect, the vibes were perfect!

When The Century advertisement popped up on my Facebook in December 2023, I knew I had to go and see it for my own eyes. A week later, I booked an appointment and first met with Crystal Brouwer. She gave me the tour, and I absolutely fell in love with the venue. Crystal was so patient, honest and understanding. I knew I had to book this venue, and lo and behold; May 25, 2024 was booked for me (and my fiance) of course. Then I met Tatiana Lopez. My coordinator, savior and all around superwoman. She coordinated our tasting, our floral appointments with decorations… I must have emailed her over 500 times. And she was so patient, understanding and she also alleviated any anxiety. All the small details, the big details, the details I didn’t even think of… she got it done! Chef Robert Root was in charge of our Buffett dinner. Our first tasting did not go as well, so we were able to do another one. Needless to say; the dinner was a success. (Guests would not stop complimenting the food.) The day of my wedding; Tatiana was there every step of the way. I would have forgotten to eat and drink if it weren’t for her! I blinked and I swear everything was going by so fast, and Tatiana was here to cue us and kept the timeline on track. Before I knew it, everything was packed and ready to go for us. It was all so flawless. And that is because of Tatiana! Thank you The Century team!l for making my wedding day dreams come true!

Nearly two years later and we still get compliments on our venue! We had our reception at Sierra Cider and couldn’t be happier we did. Seriously- we wouldn’t change a thing. Dana and David were so accommodating and really worked with us to achieve our vision. Nick was our bartender during the event and was so kind and personable with all the guests. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone had an incredible experience. The venue itself is beautiful. Our guests raved about our table setting in the orchard rows. The tasting room is charming with plenty of seating, bistro lights, and even misters for hot summer days. I’d be remiss not to mention how yummy the ciders are! Many guests visited Sierra Cider days following the wedding because they loved it so much. Overall, I couldn’t recommend Sierra Cider more.

After extensive searching, we stumbled upon this place via family friend recommendation. It was perfect! The owners responded quickly to any questions and concerns we had. Not only was the venue GORGEOUS, but we, as well as the wedding party, were able to rent the venue the night before and the night of the wedding. It saved us a lot of stress because our wedding party was all in one place! This also allowed our vendors to set up earlier in the day. We love Red Tail Ranch and are planning on spending a weekend there in the near future!

Deloro Valley is one of the most naturally beautiful wedding venues I have ever been to, without the stuffy and stiff vibes of other venues. It feels like a very liberating sanctuary with a sort of 'adult summer camp' vibe. The team is incredibly friendly and the communication is excellent, responsive and diligent. As a wedding planner, it was rare to have every guest mention the space was hard to leave. They went above and beyond to accommodate requests and make the experience truly unique and special. It's clear how important the happiness of the client is to the Deloro Valley team. Most of my wedding guests said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. If you are considering this venue for a large event of any kind, know that the experience will hold a place in your guests' hearts forever.
