Marnie Stiles was wonderful to work with in helping me with my wedding planning process. She is very cheerful and very personable and accommodating. The venue had the unique vintage charm I was looking for my reception and would highly recommend this venue for any bride looking for the special charm and personnel to make her day special.

We absolutely loved our venue! They were very organized and easy to work with. There were lots of opportunities for great shots for our photographer. One thing that was also nice was having the bridal room to get ready in on site. The only challenge was having time to decorate and also to have a rehearsal because they are open to the public during the day and have a lot of events in the evening. Book early!

I held my reception at the Carvalho Family Winery (The Old Sugar Mill) in Clarksburg, CA. Overall, I really enjoyed working with Marnie and her team, but they are definitely slow to respond to questions by email. When I actually had the chance to meet with them, though, they were very responsive and kind. They answered all of my questions (of which I had about a million!), made sure to ease any concerns I had about timing (from ceremony to reception, set up time, early guest arrivals, etc.), when to get my things to the Sugar Mill, and how the seating was to be arranged. The venue itself is not that expensive either considering I was able to use the Galleria AND the Barrel Room.

My reception went off without a hitch! In fact, even 6 months after the event, my guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed themselves.

Another tidbit...I grew up in Clarksburg and knew the "Old Sugar Mill" as an actual working Sugar Factory, so to be able to celebrate my marriage so close to home in a place that now holds such charm and sweet memories was so very awesome! The location and building are beautiful in their own right, though. They just don't make places like that anymore!

So, I would highly recommend using the Sugar Mill as a venue, but remember to be persistent with Marnie and her team. They will respond, but not as fast as you would like.

Carvalho Winery's staff was great, however we had minor issues dealing with the owners of the Old Sugar Mill. It was somewhat pricey for the lack of services provided, however it is a beautiful venue and we were very happy to have our wedding here.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
