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. Many commented on the beautiful setting, the seamless organization of the event, and Gail's professionalism and genuine care for our wedding.

You cannot go wrong with this venue. The property was ideal and could be scaled to meet the needs of our wedding and reception. I cannot say enough about Elaine and her family, making themselves available to us throughout the planning stage. They also made sure we had everything in place for the day of the event. Make sure you tour the cottage and consider renting it for your event. It made the day perfect for getting ready and we spent our wedding night there.

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!

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.

If you’re hosting friends or family from out of town, this is a great option as you can use the property for the pool during the daytime and then use lawn for the evening events. The staff were great and we were so happy with how everything turned out!

The team at Yaara Napa Events was helpful and flexible in their communication, making the planning process a breeze. The venue itself is not fancy, but rather holds a rustic, nature filled appeal as it's a working farm ( our guests loved meeting their pygmy goats). We chose this place because it was a beautiful location close enough to our guests hotels in downtown Napa, and it fit perfectly within our limited venue budget. After the ceremony, photos and a toast, we took our guests for dinner at a restaurant to continue celebrating.

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.
