Venue Must Haves

Lots of windows with a nice view and no drop ceilings! Got em both 😁

Indoor/outdoor spaces, lots of character so we don't have to worry so much about decorations, bridal suite.

Our biggest ones were lots of natural light and a large dance floor. The chapel was built literally for weddings, and the barn is connected by a sidewalk and has large doors that open (weather permitting) and let even more light in! The string lights hooked us in. Plus, the grounds are gorgeous and we are excited! We got an excellent deal and lucked out with both, and can’t wait to get married!

My must haves were an outdoor ceremony space with an indoor one that was separate from the reception space in the event of weather, a bridal suite where we can get ready beforehand, and all inclusive with food, alcohol, linens, etc. we also had to find one that was within our budget.

Good food, open bar, big space we don't need to decorate, convenient location, ample parking and ample bathrooms We hit the jackpot with ours!

I also wanted to have a dance floor

Our must haves was beautiful scenery (I wanted an outdoor ceremony), Secluded area (I didn't want non guests to be able to view our ceremony/reception), and a large reception space because FH has a very large family!

Our must haves were an outdoor ceremony space, indoor reception. Bridal suites. (some didn't have them). A big dance floor.

All inclusive since I am planning from across the country also good food and (weird one) nice bathrooms.

1) A beautiful venue that didn't need much decor, 2) A wine cave for the reception (several in Napa valley!). Not only did Calistoga Ranch have a wine cave and several ceremony spots on the same property, but it was our favorite wine cave which even had guest restrooms inside (important for my disabled dad)! They also provided 5-star catering via their restaurant and had amazing resort villas. An all-in-one amazing venue.
