Hola, yo no soy de escribir reseñas pero en esta ocasión amerita hacerlo, si pudiera le diera 100 estrellas a Suisun Valley Inn. Desde el primer día que fuimos a conocer las instalaciones, el señor Gary fue muy atento y respetuoso, contestó a todas nuestras dudas. Tal vez nuestro evento fue algo fuera de lo común, a diferencia de los eventos de boda que se organizan aquí, nosotros contratamos el granero para el 25 de Diciembre para celebrar los 15 años de mi hija , sabemos que son días festivos donde la gente está con su familia , más sin embargo recibimos todo su apoyo para que el evento se hiciera realidad en este día tan especial , puedo decirles que fue una experiencia maravillosa, fue en evento de ensueño y de igual manera nos hospedamos en la casa, donde realmente nos sentimos como en nuestro hogar , sinceramente todas las instalaciones estuvieron limpias en todo momento, Gary estuvo al pendiente de si necesitábamos algo y al igual si la empresa que contratamos para la planeación necesitaban apoyo. Quiero animar a todos los papás que deseen hacerle su quinceañera a su hija, que consideren contratar los servicios de Suisun Valley Inn, ya que harán que su hija viva una experiencia única y de ensueño, no se arrepentirán. Sr Gary agradezco todas sus atenciones y muy pronto estaremos trabajando con usted para los 15 años de mi otra hija… Bendiciones

Eagle Ridge By Wedgewood Weddings was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, the team was incredibly positive, creative, and responsive, which was so appreciated during the busy wedding planning process. On the day of, their warm, bright, and natural light-filled space with beautiful gold tones truly set the tone for our special day. They even have gold cutlery available on request (it's all in the details). Having dedicated day-of coordinators, Jennifer and Priscilla, was an absolute game changer - they were so helpful throughout the entire process, going above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding venue and highly recommend Eagle Ridge to any couple looking for an exceptional experience. Priscilla was our technical "day-of" coordinator, but both she and Jennifer had been so responsive every day leading up to the wedding, it felt like we had a coordinator every day!

We had the most perfect wedding at Oceano! We knew we wanted to get married by the water and when we saw Oceano online, it was the first (and only!) venue we toured. Jenn and her whole team were superstars from the tour, to all the emails leading up to the wedding, and on the wedding day itself! We live in Washington and the consistent and prompt communication from Jenn throughout the entire wedding process was very reassuring. She was kind, attentive, and genuinely amazing to work with. On the actual wedding day, she and her team made sure everything went smoothly. From the ceremony and reception spaces to the food to the guest rooms and more, everything was incredible. All of our guests couldn't stop complimenting on it all! We highly recommend Oceano and feel so grateful to have gotten married at such a magical place!

Brittani, Annie, and Lisa from the venue were amazing to work with from the jump and they made our wedding day perfect in every way. Brittani was an absolute dream wedding event coordinator and we are so grateful that she helped us through every moment. I'm sad that I don't get to plan anymore with her because the wedding is done - I had so much fun working with her! Our wedding had about 80 people and it was a beautiful July day with good weather. The venue has both indoor and outdoor seating options for the reception. There are a lot of different food drink options for the menu too. We had a delicious tasting session the food on the wedding day was so yummy too. We chose this venue because: 1. We love the half moon bay brewery 2. The view venue are beautiful 3. We loved Brittani and the staff the minute we first stepped on the grounds and had our first tour of the place! I wouldn't change a thing about our wedding and I'm so thankful we found Mavericks house. Thanks for making all our wedding dreams come true.

The Pearl will forever hold a special place in the hearts of myself and my husband. It was the first venue we toured and we knew right away it was going to make for such a special wedding day. We are now 2 days post wedding and we couldn't be happier with our decision. The entire planning process was a breeze thanks to Carrie. All of our guests raved abut how amazing it was that the ceremony and reception were at the same location! We did our ceremony on the roof, as well as our cocktail hour on the roof. Then we had guests walk downstairs to our reception area. The bartenders were incredible and did a fantastic job keeping our 130 guests well fueled. We hired Melons Catering, a caterer on The Pearl's short list of caterers, who absolutely knocked it out of the park when it came to the food. Guests couldn't stop talking about the quality and service of dinner! We are over the moon with how our wedding went and have zero bad things to say about The Pearl, or anyone who works there. If you're looking for a venue that screams urban city, but green and organic as well... look no further, as The Pearl can do it all. 10/10 recommend!!

We hosted our wedding reception at Plant Connection SF and we cannot recommend it enough. It is in a lovely, well connected, and safe part of the city. There’s parking and a service elevator. We had 75 attendees and the space was just right for us - beautiful, clean and comfortable. It has plenty of chairs, tables, heaters outside, a bar, folding tables etc. that came in handy and we didn’t have to rent any furniture from outside. Most importantly, Ali and the entire team at Plant Connection SF are such a delight to work with. They were always incredibly flexible and easy to communicate with (responsive via text/email/phone/in-person) - which is hard to find in the wedding venue business. Ali was always so helpful - she offered genuinely useful suggestions, recommended great vendors to us, helped figure out parking validation and was always flexible and accommodating when we wanted to schedule a tour with vendors. She truly helped take away a great deal of stress from wedding planning and was always a joy to work with. Host your event here, and also shop their amazing selection of plants!

We just had our wedding at el PRADO this August and loved every minute of it! We had around 90 guests and held both ceremony and reception in the Terraza Ballroom, which was newly renovated with beautiful draping and chandeliers. The solarium and lounge space outside are also very stylish and welcoming. Sherry, our event coordinator, is so friendly, detail-oriented and quick to address any concern or question we had throughout the planning process.

I am so happy that I chose to have my wedding at log cabin. The staff here is AMAZING from start to finish. Jolina was my day of coordinator and let me just say she was so sweet and caring and made sure my day felt special. She and her team did such a beautiful job decorating for the wedding. Way better than what I had imagined/suggested. Sara was also there to help on my wedding day and I could tell she really put a lot of effort into making sure I felt like I had everything I needed. From a drink to my change of dress! Which, felt so reassuring. Leah was also a huge help throughout the planning process.

Held a welcome party / meet and greet for the family and friends before our wedding at Tipsy Putt in Emeryville. Great centralized venue for the party, and The Trophy Club space was gorgeous with plenty of room to chat and catch up. Friendly and accommodating staff, good food, and even better drinks! Everyone loved the games. 1-2 Putt was the big equalizer- my friends who can't golf wound up beating my friends who golf twice a week. All in all a great time.

My husband and I were engaged in October 2023 and began looking at wedding venues the month after. We then finalized our booking with Redwood Canyon in January 2024 to give ourselves ample time for planning and financing for our big day on May 26th, 2025. Since we live on the East Coast and majority of our families reside in the Bay Area, we wanted to find a venue that could provide an all-inclusive package and bring our vision to reality - and Redwood Canyon checked all of those boxes... even going above and beyond. We are very happy with the entire process that led up to our special day and the outcome of our wedding. *1 year prior to the wedding* They kept us updated with some of the renovations they were making at the time. When we wanted to do a physical tour in June 2024, they fitted us into the schedule and showed us the actual colors of table cloths, napkins, lighting, etc. *8 months prior to the wedding* The wedding team sent us an invitation to the Fall Wedding Extravaganza Fair for late October 2024. We unfortunately couldn't make it, but they accommodated us by including our friend couple residing in the Bay Area to take over our place. Our friend couple FaceTimed us during the entire event to make us feel like we were there! They commented how it was nice to try out all the food options they had in the package to know what foods the couple would like to finalize for their wedding day. They also enjoyed the fun activities the DJ curated - there were two opportunities to win a prize from those activities. *5 months prior to the wedding* This was a two-hour call with the wedding team to go over our vision and details. I forgot the name of the person assisting us, but she was very patient and fun to talk with! She reassured us that if there were changes we'd like to make over the next few months, they'd be happy to accommodate. A few months later, vendors contacted us to further discuss additional details - officiant, cake, DJ, and florist. *1 week prior to the wedding* We had Jacoby as our amazing wedding coordinator and Ana to assist on our special day. They reviewed and confirmed details as well as what to expect on our Rehearsal Day, which was a day prior to our wedding. We loved their positive attitudes and professionalism throughout the process! *Wedding Day* Despite how fast and chaotic it felt, we truly appreciate Jacoby and Ana for keeping us on the right pace, consistently checking in with us, and making sure we were happy and comfortable throughout the day. If there was something I, my husband, our wedding party, and family needed, they were quick to provide it. They also knew where to put our decor and took some behind-the-scenes photos to share with us after our wedding. We had our photographer, Hayden from A Perfect Impression, who suggested all the right poses, shots, angles, and places to take our photos. Our DJ, Saul, was very accommodating with a song request and some changes that we communicated through email and text - the vibe of the ceremony and reception was perfect. The food was fantastic, the photobooth provided high-quality images that we could receive through a texted link. *Overall* If we could rate it more than 5 stars, we totally would! We are truly happy that we chose Redwood Canyon for our wedding - an amazing and friendly team with a beautiful venue that accommodated 80 of our guests!

We are so happy we went with Chabot Space and Science Center for our wedding. We wanted something unique that also aligned with our interests -- our background in physics, astronomy, and space. The staff at Chabot are incredibly kind and were quick to respond to our emails and questions. The space was incredibly expansive and unique for our guests. The planetarium ceremony was our favorite part, and we will treasure those memories forever.

The hotel staff were incredibly accommodating and went out of their way to fulfill all of our requests, ensuring our special day was flawless. The food and service at Broma, the on-site restaurant, was excellent, though the bar drinks were quite expensive. Overall, the value was excellent - our guests raved about the friendly service and amazing hotel amenities.

We're so glad we found the Los Altos History Museum for our wedding! The venue was perfect for an outdoor reception with 170 guests. The space is well enclosed with lots of beautiful greenery. The orchard in the back was a perfect spot for portraits during golden hour. The museum wedding coordinator Lisa was responsive, accommodating, knowledgeable, and had lots of great suggestions to make the day flow smoothly. They also let us store supplies at the venue the week leading up to the wedding which was very helpful. The bathrooms are the weakest part of this venue. They're clean but not the nicest and a little hard to find for guests. On the whole a great venue and made for a really special day. Would recommend!

We had the absolute best experience hosting our wedding here. Natasha Norman was incredible to work with through the entire planning process. She was clear on pricing, set our expectations well, was incredibly responsive, and helped coordinate the event on the day of the wedding. We asked for some extra time to set up the room and, since the room hadn't been booked the day before the event, she let us come in the day prior to get everything in order. Natasha spoke with our DJ and coordinated for his set-up, which was very helpful. The team setting up the event also did the perfect job of setting up the tables and outdoor chairs exactly as we'd asked. I changed my mind on the arch at the last minute, and they had no problem making the change. The wedding was incredible, our guests felt comfortable in their rooms and were pleased they could bring their dogs so they didn't have to hire a dog-sitter. Everyone was impressed by the view and by the fact that the sun was setting behind the sweetheart table in the Bayview Ballroom. I also want to give a shoutout to the banquet manager who made us feel at home, kindly brought us beverages as we were setting up, and took care of us throughout the stay. I’ve received at least half a dozen compliments on the qualify of the food served, and I felt the pricing was very reasonable – especially when compared to other hotels on the water nearby. I also loved that the hotel provided us a contingency plan if we needed to move our outdoor wedding to the indoors because of rain or anything else. We truly felt special and valued and would use this venue again in a heartbeat.
