The Gardens At Heather Farm 

5.0

Walnut Creek, CA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $2,000

Set against a breathtaking backdrop of vibrant garden landscapes, wedding couples take center stage to celebrate their special day. Picture exchanging vows in a stunning ceremony surrounded by thousands of roses, savoring cocktails and conversations as you stroll along tree-lined garden paths, and dancing the night away in a spacious hilltop reception hall with panoramic views of acres of natural beauty.

The gardens at Heather farms was everything we were looking for in a venue. We wanted outdoors with lots of plant life, a reception space that was not a barn, fairytale vibes, ability to choose our own vendors, have a full bar, plenty of time at the venue to have the day of our dreams, and LGBTQ friendly. The gardens delivered all of this and was well within our budget. As a lesbian couple it was very important to us to find a venue and vendors that felt like supportive allies and from our first meeting with GHF we felt very welcome. We also loved that the only vendor they had a preferred list for was catering (the list had many great options and we were very happy with our choice), this allowed us to ensure that all of our other vendors we hired were also allies or members of the queer community. They were great to work with and everything went so smooth the day-of. It was also stunning, the rose gardens feel so magical and I loved that we didn’t need to worry about much decor for the ceremony space. Everything was beautifully in bloom even in mid-October. If I could go back and do it over again I would still choose to get married at the gardens in a heartbeat! Another thing we love is that it’s open to the public when it is not closed for private events, so leading up to our wedding we spent a lot of time visiting just because! We took my mom there for a Mother’s Day picnic and also went with friends. I can’t wait to return as newlyweds again and again.

Jacuzzi Family Vineyards, a beautiful vineyard estate, is the ideal setting for the most romantic day of your life. Our wedding package includes three stunning venues ready to be styled to perfection for your wedding day.

I had my wedding at Jacuzzi in Oct '23 and Katy & Laura truly made this experience the best we could have imagined! From the beginning to the end, they were both very responsive, helpful and very organized. They made wedding planning as low-stress as one could hope for, and we were able to enjoy our wedding day without a worry! We loved that there were essentially 3 venues in 1 (outdoor ceremony space, piazza for cocktail hour, and barrel room for dinner) and every time we go back to Jacuzzi, we're always in awe of how gorgeous of a winery it is!

They were extremely helpful in giving us our perfect day: the decor was gorgeous, the venue amazing, food & drink was the best and our guests had a great time too.

This working ranch was established in 1876, one hundred and thirty years ago and still remains in the family today. Our garden has been years in the making and continues to be a big part of our ranch. Create your memories in our country garden for your special day or event,. We would be more the happy to show you the grounds.

My husband and I got married at Monk Ranch in June of 2023 and we absolutely fell in love as soon as we toured. Not only was it only 10 minutes from our house but it also included so much of the extra stuff that we didn't want to coordinate ourselves or pay extra for like tables, chairs, ceremony arch, bar, extra bathrooms. The fees were super reasonable and Gail was extremely easy to work with. She let me borrow several items from her decor closet and even set it up for me. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to host a wedding up to 100 people or even other celebrations like baby showers or bridal showers.

Menlo Park, CA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $1,944

When guests arrive at the redwood-and-glass building, they often gather in its open, airy lobby. Then, if you’re having your ceremony here (and most couples do), your family and friends will be ushered through Craftsman-styled double wooden doors to the serene South Patio. This beautiful, crescent-shaped flagstone space wraps around one entire side of the building and features a Zen-like border of Japanese maples, native plants and graceful oaks. Handcrafted ceramic urns are integrated throughout and serve as artful and calming water features. You can opt to exchange vows in front of those wooden entry doors, or take full advantage of the patio’s pièce de résistance and say “I do” beneath an asymmetrical canvas canopy. There’s ample room for al fresco cocktails on the patio before everyone moves into the Sequoia Room for dinner. This reception area feels quite spacious, with its cathedral ceiling, polished hardwood floors, and two walls of glass

We were hired by a family to provide security for their sons Bar Mitzvah. The facility was easy to work with and very professional. I bragged so much about the venue to my fiancé that she setup an appointment with Deshawn to tour the facility. Deshawn was amazing she was very personable, knowledgeable about the facility and her customer service was exceptional. She walked us through the facility and gave us lots of advice and ideas on how to setup our ceremony and reception. This was a no brainier decision for us. If only every aspect of wedding planning could be this easy! Now we’re booked to have our wedding at this gorgeous facility in 2023!

Her attention to detail, expertise, industry knowledge, suggestions, and caring demeanor did not go unnoticed. We toured several spots around the greater Sacramento area for our wedding, and we had the best experience with The Willow Ballroom. It was such a beautiful and unique space, and we didn't have to worry about a ton of decor because the space speaks for itself (which saved us money!).
