About this venue

Monte Verde Inn is an elegant estate venue located in Foresthill, California. The romantic estate has seen a myriad of couples recite their vows since it was established in 1939. Featuring dreamy gardens, an idyllic vineyard, and a Georgian manor house, this venue will inspire love in all guests.

Facilities and Capacity

Monte Verde Inn can accommodate weddings of up to 220 guests in its outdoor areas. The ceremony space is located under a canopy of magnificent cedar trees just behind the main house. Its rustic wooden arch provides a charming backdrop for nuptials. Large receptions are held on the verdant lawn, which can accommodate dining and dancing. Weddings of 80 guests or fewer can be held in the stately manor house. The ballroom’s floor-to-ceiling windows, original hardwood floors, and intricate chandelier make the space perfect for both ceremonies and receptions. The ballroom has a maximum capacity of 60 for the reception, while 20 can be seated in an adjacent private dining room.

Services Offered

The estate offers all-inclusive ceremony and reception or reception-only packages. All weddings are overseen by the property’s professional event planner, Sydney. She guides couples every step of the way and is on hand on the wedding day. The venue adheres to a strict one-event-per-day policy, ensuring couples and their guests have exclusive access to the grounds for their special day. Couples and the wedding party can use the manor’s elegant get-ready suites to prepare for the wedding or relax in between the ceremony and reception. In addition, your tables, chairs, china, glassware, and flatware are all provided by the property, as well as setup and teardown.

Cuisine

Monte Verde Inn provides all catering and bar services to weddings held here. Their all-inclusive packages include hors d’oeuvres, a two-course dinner either plated or buffet, and a custom wedding cake.

Monte Verde is AMAZING!!

My husband and I just got married here last weekend and holy crap we are still glowing with how perfect the night went!! Monte Verde is an almost all inclusive venue that really takes all the stress away from the couple. We were engaged for a little over a year and we were constantly asked by family and friends "oh my god aren't you stressed out??.. (annoyed face)."I can honestly say as the bride I was not and I am an overplanning kind of person. The coordinator Lexi and her staff have everything down to the exact minute and down to every single detail. Many details are taken care of for you and all you and your partner simply need to do is choose your details and then show up(cake detail, cake flavors, linens, all food, all bar drinks, florist for centerpieces, servers etc. ALL DONE FOR YOU) It was so nice! The only vendors we had to hire on our own were photographer/photobooth, videographer and DJ (all of which Lexi provides recommendations.) And the food was really good which is definitely a plus.

We need to give a special shoutout to the wedding planner and day of coordinator Lexi. She is AMAZING. She is awesome at communicating and providing honest feedback and opinions of what she thinks couples actually need versus what they see on pinterest that would cause a lot more work. She is VERY detailed oriented and thinks of so many things before the couple even does. On the day of she does an amazing job running the night and is always in the right spot at the right time holding exactly what it is that you are looking for.

Monte Verde is definitely worth the money. It is nicely tucked away off of Foresthill road. You feel like you are out of town getting married in a magical forest covered in twinkle lights but in reality you are about 20 minutes out of town. I also loved that everything was at one location (ceremony, reception, getting ready, etc.) The house itself is beautiful and has a lot of vintage traditional details that are to die for. There is also an inside ballroom that can be used in case of rain or in colder seasons.

We felt like our wedding was a movie. Everything went perfect and everything was so beautiful! I wish we could re-live the night over and over again!!

Such a beautiful day!

My husband and I got married at Monte Verde Inn on 7/1/23 and the day went so smoothly. So many of our guests said it was the best wedding they’ve been to! We worked with Sydney, the Inn’s coordinator, and she made everything so easy for us! I was worried about planning a wedding up in NorCal while living in SoCal but I believe we chose the perfect venue to do it with. The venue is so beautiful and mostly all inclusive with is very helpful when planning from far away. This also helped me stay pretty unstressed throughout the whole planning process! The venue includes catering, alcohol, cake, reception florals and so much more. The only vendors I had to hire separately were a dj and photographer, and the venue even has recommendations for those vendors which was so helpful. I TOTALLY recommend Monte Verde Inn for your wedding, Sydney and the staff are so kind, helpful, organized, and committed to making your special day one to remember.

Moved Heaven and Earth to Pull Off my Wedding

I will preface this review by saying that we did not actually get married at the Monte Verde Inn. My wedding was scheduled for September 17, 2022. We booked MVI approximately 1.5 years in advance. We had planning meetings, menu tastings, and plenty of correspondence with MVI staff. About 2 weeks before my wedding, the Mosquito Fire broke out and Foresthill was evacuated. My now-husband and I had to scramble to relocate our wedding to a new venue and all of the headaches and heartbreaks that come with that. Throughout it all, MVI staff, especially our coordinator Sydney Pease, worked their asses off to help us hold a wedding on our originally scheduled date. They essentially provided all of the services we had paid for (food, drinks, linens, event coordination, set up and break down, etc) at our new venue. They worked directly with the new venue once we found it to seamlessly transfer over all of our services. I’m basically in tears writing this, and Sydney and I cried together on several phone calls and on my wedding day. They didn’t have to do what they did for my husband and I, but they did everything in their power to turn around a horrible situation. I would have loved to have gotten married at MVI. The property is stunning. But I am so grateful that I got to work with MVI staff on my wedding in the face of circumstances beyond all of our control. Needless to say I have nothing but good things to say about this venue and their staff.

Beautiful Estate

Our family had a lovely time at this venue. The coordinator was on top of her game, the suites provided for the bridal party were beautiful, the food was delicious - we had a fantastic vow renewal celebration and were treated well!
Now, if we can just locate the photographer who has run off with full payment and not delivered photos of the event, all would be good in the world.

Best Day Ever!

MVI gave us the best day ever. Everything was absolutely perfect! Lexi is the mastermind behind it all and she ensures everything runs smoothly and she really thinks of everything down to the smallest of details. She is very easy to communicate with and was honestly there every step of the way, including the entire day/night of our wedding. We live out of state so the fact that they take care of most everything helped immensely. The venue is beautiful and intimate. We got married at the end of August and my biggest concern was the heat. It was a warm day, but by the time the ceremony it had really cooled down and was not bad at all. We still can’t stop talking about the day and we are so glad we chose MVI! Thank you Lexi & the entire staff!!

Fairy Tale Wedding

Our son was married here on 7/06/19. It was over the top AMAZING! Hard to know where to start. But Lexi, the coordinator, is the obvious choice! She's a great communicator, she's very organized, she's on top of every little thing and she has a LOT of experience doing what she does. She's also knowledgeable and entertaining about human nature and gives great direction throughout the event. Next, the venue itself is absolutely beautiful. It's romantic, intimate (1 event per day) , clean, convenient (10 min east of Auburn) right off a very modern expressway. The backdrops there are STUNNING for your pictures. The price is excellent for what you get (all inclusive with delicious food, tables, chairs, linens, place settings, flowers and cake!) The florist is top notch who provides the venue flowers, the cake from the designated bakery is delicious, the FOOD is very good! The atmosphere and layout of the venue is very fun and beautiful. You cannot go wrong having your wedding here!

Beautiful venue

I loved the Monte Verde Inn. It was gorgeous. Perfect setting for a wedding especially in the summer. Lexi, the coordinator, did an amazing job setting everything up and fulfilling our vision. She made wedding planning so easy.

Best day ever.

Absolutely everyone should get married at Monte Verde Inn. I have literally never written an online review for anything in my life, but I feel this strongly about Monte Verde that I had to write one!
It was the most perfect day. Not only are the grounds beautiful, but Lexi, the coordinator, is amazing. There was not a single thing she didn't think of or have completely covered. She planned and executed what was, hands down, the best day of my life. She was very personable, friendly, and attentive to every single detail. She went above and beyond in every single way. Get married here, you won't regret it, I promise!! :)

Indescribably perfect experience!

My husband and I had our wedding here 8/4/18. It's hard to describe how perfect of a day it was. The venue is gorgeous and well maintained by the staff. It was the perfect setting for our special day. I cannot describe how painless the planning process was with Lexi (coordinator). Everything is laid out very plainly and you can decide from there. But it is also as customizable as you could want. She is flexible and accommodating when need be, to ensure your wedding is exactly how you want it. The way they do their pricing makes it easy to understand where your money is going and the prices are very reasonable for what you are getting. The food was excellent. The cake from Divine Desserts was incredible, honestly the best cake I've ever had. People raved and almost all of it got eaten! The flowers were gorgeous. Everything turned out better than what I had anticipated. It was a completely stress-free day for me, I am sure thanks to Lexi's hard work at keeping any issues away from me. There is nothing I would change about their process, it truly guarantees you have the wedding of your dreams.

Cannot say enough...

The experience that we had at Monte Verde was completely beyond words. Lexi made our wedding so simple and was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. She made sure that everyone knew what they needed to be doing (we did have some rowdy groomsmen :)) and everything went off exactly as it was supposed to. This was the perfect venue and perfect day. Thank you to all of the staff at MVI and I so highly recommend them for anyone looking for an intimate, beautiful venue in the Northern California foothills!
