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!

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 Farm was a stunning location for our wedding. We are a pretty DIY couple so we were looking for a place that was flexible to bring in your own decor and create a really unique event. Our families also loved the gardens, there are so many gorgeous spaces to decorate and celebrate! Be aware, there is a public park nearby, so there may be other celebrations going on – but the other party on our wedding day was very gracious and turned down their music for our ceremony. Overall would absolutely book the Gardens at Heather Farm again, it was perfect and beautiful for our wedding!

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved having our wedding reception at the Chabot Space and Science Center! The venue coordinator, Rasheda, was so prompt and kind in all of her communication during the planning process. She was always just a phone call away whenever we had a question and offered helpful suggestions. On the big day itself, Rasheda made sure that all of the vendors were exactly where they needed to be and any questions were answered. The space itself was so unique and fun for a wedding, with the telescopes being a big hit to guests. It felt spacious for our guest count and was very affordable compared to traditional wedding venues. Our guests are still raving about how memorable it was! A special shout out to Rasheda and Alex who were phenomenal, as well as the friendly astronomers who engaged our guests.
