If I could give a 10 star I would. Capay Valley Ranch is so magical. I was able to have the wedding of my dreams here. I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful location. I couldn’t have done it without the Owners family. From Alba, assisting us from day 1, to her daughter Gia creating such beautiful floral arrangements. Thank you for everything you did for me and my husband to help create such a beautiful and perfect day.
