From the moment we booked Fruitcraft Winery & Distillery for our wedding, Alan and Mari provided detailed and timely communication every step of the way. Their gorgeous venue with lush live plants and moody lighting created the perfect moody October atmosphere for our special day. The outdoor patio was a beautiful backdrop for our ceremony, and the amazing cocktails and drinks they served were a huge hit with our guests.

My Husband and I had the most wonderful experience with Churon Winery as our Wedding Venue. Not only are the grounds absolutely gorgeous, but their customer service was outstanding! Meilee set the tone as the venue coordinator, and we cannot begin to express the friendliness, professionalism, and over all care she gave us while we planned our wedding and asked her a thousand questions. She was there for us every step of the way and shared in our excitement of our wedding, she's the BEST! We would also like to give an extraordinary rating to Christopher who worked so hard all day and night of our wedding to make sure everyone had everything they needed. He was literally working nonstop and did it all with a smile. Robert at the hotel front desk was helpful and pleasant and made every accommodation he could to get us, and our guests settled into our rooms. Food, can't forget about the absolutely delicious food served at our wedding, and Enrique made sure to impress us with his coordination and talent with all of our tasty treats! If you are looking to choose a venue for your wedding that will make you feel like a priority and treat you with kindness and care, Churon Winery in Temecula is the place! Thank you for making our Wedding Day as special and beautiful as we had imagined.

Channon and Kari were both amazing. We toured in 2023, and Channon was extremely welcoming and warm. We toured on a wedding day, which was perfect because we were able to envision what our special day would look like. We toured about 7 other venues in the area and quickly realized that Oak & Ivy at Home Sweet Home was where we wanted to have our special day. Kari went through the budget with us before we hired her on, and she was extremely helpful and responsive throughout the planning process. I can't recommend her enough for planning. She planned a Taylor Swift themed Speakeasy that was AMAZING, and would highly recommend doing one if it's in the budget. Kari also did our florals- we loved them! Kari and Channon were great at communicating when things were due so we were able to stay on track without stressing out. We loved having our wedding day there and wouldn't change it for the world!

From start to finish, our experience with Bel Vino was nothing short of exceptional. It was absolutely perfect, literally our dream wedding come true. The Bel Vino team was an absolute dream to work with. Sydnie, Lein, Jane, Heather, and everyone else we ever talked to was amazing. Every single detail—from the initial tour, all the meetings to the final send-off—was handled with care, patience, and thought. The communication was always clear, timely, and always reassuring, which made the entire process completely stress free. They were always there to answer all of text messages and always reassured me that I was no bother. They made both Chris and I feel so so special. They never seemed annoyed at all of our questions or last minute changes or ever made us feel rushed. They’re literally not enough positive words for the team at Bel Vino they are the sweetest and put so much detail and thought into it all! The food was phenomenal. Our guests raved about the appetizers all of the food and how much of it there was! We got set up with Andrea from Dj Maestro and she was incredible to work with. She was able to do everything we asked of her from a certain songs that a specific time, and knowing exactly when to end them. She kept the energy high all night long, reading the room perfectly and she was so nice!! Our guests have been telling us for over a week now that this is probably one of the most beautiful and smooth weddings that they’ve ever been to. If we could do it all over again, we wouldn't change a single thing. The best day of our lives! Chris and Sabrina de Leon

The venue is absolutely breathtaking and I heard from so many guests about how great of a venue it was and how they've never been to a wedding like that before and how much fun it was. Not only do the staff completely bring our vision to life, but made it even better than we could've imagined. Traecy and her team were a dream to work with and made planning everything stress-free and easy. They were so accommodating and a pleasure to work with. My husband and I cannot recommend CRC Ranch enough.

Foxen Canyon Ranch was the perfect choice for our wedding venue. Their communication style was warm, friendly and accommodating from the very first interaction. The quality of their work and the value they provided was uniquely incredible, stunning and special in every way. They responded immediately to all of our questions and communication, and were extremely helpful with advice, recommendations and logistics that enabled a seamless experience before, during and after the event.

We had our wedding at Danza del Sol Winery by Wedgewood Weddings and were pleased with their service. The venue itself is brand new and absolutely stunning, with a rustic industrial design and beautiful landscaping. The only downside was a lack of shade during the outdoor ceremony in the hot sun. The staff’s communication and attention to detail was appreciated and really sets you up for success, especially if you have never planned a wedding before. We texted, video chatted and had a planned schedule with our coordinator, who made sure everything flowed smoothly on our big day. The package deal was very fairly priced for the quality, and the open bar kept drinks flowing in our hands constantly. I especially appreciated how they checked in to make sure my groom and I were happy and had everything we needed throughout the celebrations. If you're looking for a venue that combines rustic wine country charm with first-class service, I highly recommend Danza del Sol!

This review is long overdue. The staff was really amazing in coordinating our perfect wedding right from the beginning. We were planning our big day from out of state, which you would think would cause a few hiccups but the staff at J Winston Winery made everything very easy. Taylor Kinsey, Operations manager, was always quick to respond, provided great recommendations, had tremendous patience and was very professional throughout the entire process. They offered a package to buy out the winery at a very reasonable price so we didn’t have to worry about uninvited guests or rush any last minute details. The wine packages were just as reasonable; the only tough decision here was deciding which ones to serve. The newly built barn, where we hosted our reception was beautifully done. It had all the right touches with very little need for additional decorations. The day before the wedding we were able to setup/prep anything we needed to and of course enjoyed some of their amazing wine. We were really appreciative of them working closely with our multiple vendors prior to wedding day and getting them all set up on our special day. We can’t thank them enough for making our special day truly magical. We still visit the winery when we’re in town and to this day continue to thank them for the great job they did and reminiscence on the fun we had. Thank you John and the J Winston Winery team for being there for us especially Taylor and Leyla!

Our wedding at the Ranch at Stoney Creek was nothing short of AMAZING! Our guests had the best time, and LOVED the venue (as did we). The venue is spectacularly beautiful, and the team there were so helpful with organizing EVERYTHING! They provided us with beautiful decor and floral arrangements, an amazing wedding planner, and recommendations for catering and wine vendors in the area. We were even able to have some guests camp on site in beautiful "glamping" tents, which was absolutely awesome (and what we wanted since were were looking for guests to have camping options). Additionally, we were able to stay with our family, onsite, in their beautiful guest-rooms, while other guests were able to stay at adorable Air BnB's and Hotels in the area. Everyone that attended our wedding said it was the "Best wedding they had been to!" Our wedding was everything we wanted and more thank you to the team at The Ranch at Stoney Creek!

Black Oak Mountain Vineyards is a dream wedding venue. This is MY perfect spot after touring it...there was no need to look at any other venues. Seriously. Jane and her team blew me away. They're SO creative and fun to work with. The vineyard views are breathtaking as well as the Villa. You can really see forever and I love how private the entire property is. The planning team is top-notch so far and I chose their in-house bar service.. They're helping me bring all my wild ideas to life. We're even planning a silent disco for the reception afterparty! What I love most is how they let me be me and have encouraged all of my ideas for my wedding theme. If you want a venue that's gorgeous, creative, and eco-friendly, check out Black Oak Mountain Vineyards. You won't regret it. I can't wait for my big day.

This was the best venue! The staff was so nice, we loved our coordinator for our wedding planning and for the day of, she was so helpful and kind. Ken and his staff were also so welcoming. My husband and I stepped foot on the land and instantly knew this was where we wanted to get married. We got married 1.5 years ago but guests still tell us to this day how much they loved our venue. There’s plenty of parking, I loved how everything is nicely sectioned off without creating actual rooms or borders. There’s plenty of place for games and photos and everything you need here. I honestly wouldn’t change a thing about our wedding and highly recommend this venue. Would get married to my husband again here 10/10 lol!

The listing pictures don’t do Secluded Garden Estate justice. It’s absolutely beautiful in person, especially for an afternoon wedding at golden hour. Our guests are still telling us how beautiful the location was several weeks later. Our wedding photos look like they came right out of Lord of the Rings! The venue includes three separate areas for the ceremony, cocktail, and reception, with convenient electrical access, kitchenette, and guest restrooms. The hosts, Emily and Dennis, were incredibly easy to work with and put us at ease right away. They are knowledgeable without being pushy, and professional without making us feel like we were being sold to. Highly recommend if you are looking for a beautiful outdoor venue.

Red Barn Ranch is an exceptionally beautiful property in lovely Northern California. I have had the pleasure of photographing weddings there for the last 12 years of my career. The thing I love lost about Red Barn Ranch are the expansive and gorgeous grounds they have on location. Literally acres & acres of beautiful land! As a photographer, I look for beautiful lighting wherever I go. When I am photographing a wedding at Red Barn Ranch, I know that I will find stunning lighting and backdrops for my clients- to give them the most beautiful portraits! It doesn’t matter if it’s noon or 5:00pm- the light at Red Barn Ranch is uniquely lovely at anytime. I can always find a gorgeous spot with flattering light to make my bride look radiant. My clients have so many options as far as locations to photograph them in- fields of grass, rolling hills, barns, mature oak trees, retired railroads… you name it! The views are expansive and gorgeous. This is a venue that is universally loved by all guests, very warm and comfortable lots of room. The venue owners are exceptionally kind and helpful, very welcoming. Schedule a tour today and see for yourself why it is such a beautiful and popular spot!

I am not going to lie, there were a few times we were very nervous about booking with Trademark Venues at Green Gable. Our coordinator changed very early in the process, and we weren’t informed why. We did the food tasting and we were so disappointed with everything we tried. We then spoke to someone higher up who helped us customize our menu without getting extra costs. Day of the wedding, everything went absolutely perfect. Gina was a god send, paying attention to every detail. She handled everything and made sure the day was stress free for us. So many guests told us how delicious the food was, so we were thrilled as that was what we were most nervous about. And I can confirm that the cupcakes were sooooo good! Seriously could not be happier. Gina was amazing and the venue is absolutely breathtaking. We absolutely recommend booking Green Gables!!

Domenico Winery was the perfect venue for our wedding celebration. We struggled with finding a venue that was both close to where we lived, fit the number of guests we wanted while also fitting within our price range & the 'vibe' we were going for, but then in came Domenico (right under our noses!) From the very beginning, their communication was prompt, clear, and very open with any questions/customizations we wanted, which made the planning process seamless. They do require at a minimum a day of planner to help ensure the wedding day goes smoothly, and I'm so glad they did as between the venue coordination and wedding planner, I didn't have much to worry about the day of! The industrial, winery-inspired space had a modern and elegant feel that perfectly suited our vision. The staff went above and beyond to make us and our loved ones feel welcome and special, incorporating so many of the unique touches we wanted. The wedding food was amazing, we are still getting compliments from our family members about how Domenico's catering was some of the best wedding food they have ever had (chilean sea bass & short ribs were top hits)! Domenico's preferred vendors list was large & we found excellent vendors to work with (including our photographer & planner) through their recommendations. We were thrilled with how our wedding day turned out and are so grateful to the Domenico team (Karla, Aaron & everyone else!) for helping to make it an unforgettable experience. Would highly, highly recommend an event or wedding here, especially if you are SF Peninsula/Silicon Valley based and looking for a cool, local spot!

About wedding venues in California

California offers an incredible 840 miles of coastline, 3,000+ wineries and ancient redwoods for your wedding day. When you choose the Golden State, you're getting exceptional natural lighting for your ceremony across diverse settings from Mediterranean coastal zones to alpine mountain backdrops. Each region has its own distinctive character that can perfectly match your vision.

What Makes California Wedding Venues So Special?

Northern California's Napa Valley welcomes you with rolling vineyards and Spanish colonial architecture where intimate wine cave ceremonies create unforgettable moments. Head to Southern California and you'll find oceanfront venues like Duke's Malibu where you can exchange vows with the Pacific stretching out behind you while enjoying fresh coastal-inspired cuisine. Palm Springs offers dramatic desert venues with mountain backdrops and striking midcentury modern architecture that photographs beautifully.

How Much Do Wedding Venues in California Cost?

Wedding venues in California typically run between $9,600 and $11,700 which aligns nicely with the national range of $6,500-$12,000. This represents about 18% of your total wedding budget. Your overall costs will vary based on guest count:

  • 50 guests: $26,190
  • 100 guests: $43,692
  • 150 guests: $60,141

Accessibility options have improved greatly across California venues in recent years.

When Should You Book Your California Wedding Venue?

October leads venue inquiries in California with couples typically booking venues about 13 months (400 days) before their wedding date. If you're dreaming of a Northern California wine country wedding during peak season you'll want to book up to 18 months in advance. Southern California venues offer more flexibility especially during winter months when you can still enjoy beautiful weather while potentially securing better rates.
