Wonderful Wedding!

We had our April wedding at Thomas Fogarty and it was perfect! The views are incredible! I also loved the site for the ceremony on the grass and then the open pavillion for dinner with an inside area for dancing. The staff was also professional, responsive, and very kind. Would highly recommend!

The perfect place to get married. Beautiful ceremony above the Bay Area, picturesque spots for the albums, great night-time vibe. Wow.

I did an exhaustive search of bay area wedding venues, and Thomas Fogarty came out on top as one of the most stunningly beautiful, classy, and quintessential Californian places around. Our guests, many of whom came from around the world, were blown away by the incredible views (you can see the entire bay in the background, with rolling vineyards in the foreground), fantastic wine, and intimate setting.

The staff (we worked with Becky and Trisha) were incredible from start to finish in terms of the months and days leading up to the wedding date, and especially the day-of. Massive kudos to their team for working so well with our wedding planner to execute as perfect a day as we could have hoped for and more.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
