Where to begin...I absolutely LOVED working with Angelica & The Willow Ballroom. She made it so easy throughout the entire wedding planning process, and she truly cared about us having the best day possible. 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!). Highly recommend working with The Willow Ballroom for not only weddings, events, reunions, the list goes on, it really can do it all!

We had our wedding at Shadelands Ranch Museum in 2018 and couldn't have been happier with our decision! We had a few parameters to work within — a tight budget, a list of vendors we wanted to work with, and a large guest count. The staff at Shadelands were incredibly accommodating and easy to partner with. Since their policy allows food trucks and other mobile caterers, we were able to hire one of our favorite local BBQ restaurants to cater, which was a huge hit. The venue grounds are large enough to fit a sizeable group — perfect for our guests who brought children — they had plenty of room to run around on the lawn. In the summer, the venue adds string lights in the trees around their gazebo, creating a beautiful and romantic touch when the sun sets. The gazebo served as a beautiful centerpiece and the location for our photo booth. Our DJ had plenty of space to set up on the back patio, which doubled as the dance floor. The venue’s accessibility was incredible, with ample parking, clean restrooms, a kitchen, and a porch for the bride to ‘hide’ until the ceremony. And because the venue provided the tables and chairs, we only needed to rent table linens. Shadelands is the place to book if you want a beautiful and affordable outdoor wedding venue in Walnut Creek that can accommodate both your ceremony and reception. The attentive staff, accessible location, and flexibility around customization make it an ideal place to tie the knot!

In April 2023, my husband and I were fortunate enough to have our wedding at the beautiful Monk Ranch in Dixon, California. The property was perfectly set up, creating an enchanting atmosphere for our special day. One of the highlights of our experience was working with Gail, who went above and beyond to make our wedding dreams come true. Monk Ranch offers an idyllic and serene setting for any wedding celebration. The property is thoughtfully designed to accommodate both the ceremony and reception, providing ample space for guests to enjoy the stunning surroundings. We were particularly taken by the romantic ambiance created by the rustic elegance of the barn, which served as the perfect location for our reception. Gail was an absolute pleasure to work with. From our first interaction, her dedication to making our wedding day flawless was evident. She was incredibly helpful and attentive, always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and ensure that every detail was perfectly executed. Her warm and friendly demeanor immediately put us at ease and allowed us to focus on celebrating our love. Our guests were just as impressed with the venue and Gail's exceptional service.

My daughter and her fiancé chose The Gardens at Heather Farm for their June wedding and it was everything our families could have wished for. The Venue is exceptional. The entire garden was privatized for the event. The ceremony at the Gazebo in the rose garden was picture-perfect. The location is unique and the lovely Gazebo surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of roses in full bloom was the perfect backdrop for their special moment. Cocktail hour was at the patio Pavilion – a large “U” shaped bar with granite countertops and covered by a vine-covered wooden pergola. It sits next to a raised bed garden space filled with flowers which provided a pleasant place for our guests to mingle and enjoy the beautiful flowers while enjoying their cocktails. Dinner was indoors in the Camellia Room. This room is stunning. Huge glass windows around the room provide views out to the garden and the lovely lake. The neutral colors in the room were perfect for our summer wildflower color theme. There is a large deck that runs around the outside of the space which was perfect for an outdoor bar, photo booth, and our audio guest book (phone). The Gardens provided an amazing array of beautiful places for photography and spaces for our guests to stroll and enjoy the views. The indoor space was lovely, clean, and bright. Lots of space for seating, a DJ, a cake table, a Sweetheart Table, and dancing. Jenna was delightful to work with. She was helpful and responsive during the entire process. We would choose this venue again in a heartbeat.

We had our wedding at the Lake Temescal Beach house, and had to wrap up by early evening - so we needed an afterparty venue! Phoenix is right down the street and turned out to be a perfect fit. We rented their gallery space as well as the main space, which gave our guests the opportunity for some scenery change and conversation - and everyone stayed til we had to kick them out at midnight! Lighting, decor, size and shape of the space - all were totally perfect. Saskia was accommodating and eager to host us; she was enthusiastic about our plan and gave us great recommendations - how to set up the space, vendors to bring in (the taco truck was essential), and fun props and essentials for totally reasonable rental rates. We never felt pushed, upsold, or like we needed to shy away from the kind of party we wanted to have. We had a great DJ set and karaoke til midnight. Even our photographer who said he'd stay til nine was still dancing and partying when we gave everyone the boot. So fun. Highly recommend.

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! We couldn't be happier to have chosen to get married here.

I had the pleasure of working at Rancho Victoria Weddings last year, and I was blown away. The surrounding landscape is beautiful, the farmhouse is nice and cozy, the grounds are wonderful, and the staff was friendly and professional. I love how the ceremony and reception sites are separated but not too far away. The bar area is unique, and the vineyards are close by. If you want a country farm house/vineyard vibe for your wedding, definitely swing by Rancho Victoria Weddings.
