Nestled in the historic Monroe Ranch in Fairfield, California, Suisun Valley Inn - Wedding Retreat is a barn and farm wedding venue. This property, full of fertile soil and a steady water supply, was purchased by James Monroe in 1860. It passed through four generations of Monroe's descendants, with the current eight-bedroom house built in 2004 and constructed in the style of George Washington's St. Vernon estate. The current owners, Gary Bacon and Ying Ni, have revitalized these premises as a serene oasis in California Wine Country, one perfect for intimate retreats.

Facilities and Capacity

The stately Suisun Valley Inn is surrounded by the 55 scenic acres of the Monroe Ranch, providing both outdoor and indoor spaces in which to hold festivities. A couple may share their special celebration with up to 250 people. They can exchange their vows on manicured lawns facing row after row of Petite Sirah and Pinot Noir grapevines. Construction of a new 7500 square foot Event Barn was completed in June 2025 and now provides a spectacular setting for elegant events in a rustic atmosphere. The Suisun Creek meanders through the grounds, complete with the occasional beaver and river otter. Additionally, wheelchair access and parking for up to 100 cars on-site make these premises more convenient and comfortable for all guests.

Services Offered

Suisun Valley Inn hosts wedding ceremonies and receptions, with spaces for intimate elopements and grand celebrations. A couple may also hold their engagement party, showers, and rehearsal dinner on-site. The helpful staff can provide accommodations for up to 16 guests in the residence, along with get-ready rooms.

The best venue in Suisun Valley!

I cannot say enough about the Suisun Valley Inn at Monroe Ranch! We feel so fortunate to have been able to start our life in such a beautiful place! My now husband and I do not have family living in California so to be able to spend 4 days all in one house directly on the property was truly magical. We were able to all start the mornings together drinking coffee and eating breakfast before the hustle and bustle began in this beautiful inn which made our days that much more special. Gary was an absolute dream to work with. He was always available if needed and made us feel very warm and welcomed. I truly feel like I am pinching myself to have found such a wonderful and beautiful venue. The barn was an absolute dream. The ceremony site is gorgeous and outside so our guests were able to experience a change in scenery from our ceremony site, to cocktail hour, to the reception. All of our guests raved about the property and how stunning it was. The barn doors opened to the view of the rolling hills which was a striking backdrop. We just had the most amazing time and literally feel like all of our dreams and expectations were exceeded tenfold. Thank you again for making this special day more than we could have ever imagined!

Alexa’s quinceañera

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

Great Venue

My Wife and I recently hosted a wedding at the Suisun Valley Inn.
Gary and his staff were incredibly helpful and ensured we had all needs fulfilled.
The venue is incredibly beautiful and spacious. We also took advantage of using the Inn as "home base" and prep area for tons of wedding necessities, this proved to be immeasurably helpful.
Convenient, clean and comfortable and reasonably priced,
I highly recommend working with Gary and his facility....it helped make our Daughter's wedding memories unforgettable and Im sure you will find the same to be true for your family

The Perfect Spot!

This was the perfect spot for our micro wedding/elopement! It's truly a special place..charming villa, beautiful grounds and landscape with plenty of spots for photo ops! The owner (Gary) was an absolute pleasure to communicate with. He was helpful, kind, and attentive. This was the ideal location for our smaller, more intimate wedding and I will forever treasure the wonderful memories we made at Suisun Valley Inn!

Picturesque Venue

We hosted our daughter’s wedding at Suisun Valley Inn, and it was truly amazing. Having the house for three days made the entire experience relaxed and enjoyable, giving us plenty of time to set up without feeling rushed. The venue is both stunning and incredibly versatile. We held the rehearsal dinner outdoors behind the house, the ceremony at the charming gazebo, and the reception in the newly built barn, which was spacious, elegant, and full of character. The three chandeliers cast a warm, graceful glow throughout the barn, transforming it into a ballroom worthy of a grand celebration. Gary was consistently professional, respectful, and highly responsive throughout the entire process. The setting created a wonderful weekend filled with unforgettable memories. If you're looking for an affordable, flexible, and picturesque venue, Suisun Valley Inn is an outstanding choice.

Excellent Venue

My wife and I chose Suisun Valley Inn for our wedding in May 2025. The property is beautiful. There is an 8 bedroom/8 bathroom house which is perfect for wedding weekends, getting ready, housing guests, etc. The new barn is a fantastic space for a wedding, with plenty of space for a large guestlist, as well as a parking lot that can accommodate a large wedding. The ceremony lawn is right next to the barn and it has a backdrop of the Suisun Valley hills and vineyards. The beauty of this property is that it is a venue, and you’re free to choose your vendors. For us, this was huge as we wanted specific food, alcohol, etc. However, Gary can provide suggestions as well.
Gary, the property owner and manager, was responsive about inquiries and easy to work with. He was available on multiple occasions for us to meet and view the property, as well as answer questions. He allowed us to bring out our caterer before the wedding to show them the space they’d be working with. During the wedding weekend, we stayed for 3 nights, and Gary was on call for any needs which is helpful when you have last minute questions.
We loved our venue choice and it was perfect for our wedding and our guests.

We recommend considering Suisun Valley Inn for your wedding venue.

August Wedding

We booked Gary on the spot after touring his property; the moment we stepped out of our cars, met Gary, and learned about the history of his beautiful estate we knew it was the perfect fit for our wedding. This was the best decision we could have ever made. Gary made the entire planning process stress-free - he was easily reachable for questions, works with vendors seamlessly, and is so supportive. We were able to put the vision of our special day into reality easily. Because there is a 3 night stay requirement for weddings, it was memorable to spend quality time with friends and family for the whole weekend which is something we will cherish forever. We are so thankful for choosing Suisun Valley Inn and for all they did for us that weekend.
