We loved this venue because of the flexibility it offered to have the ceremony at the pond and the reception in the barn. Getting to bring in our own catering for food and bartender for drinks at no additional cost was a huge bonus! The views of the property and great price were what sold us on booking this venue and we could have been happier with our choice! Our wedding was honestly the happiest day of our lives and I would highly recommend this venue.

My husband and I got married here in September 2018. I found the venue in the previous December,…read moreand the owner Brent and the coordinator Chelsea were great to work with. They were open to other ideas, and very flexible and accommodating. The venue is huge, so it can accommodate a large wedding if needed. Our wedding was about 150 people, and there was more than enough room. It's surrounded by beautiful walnut orchards and you can see the valley and mountains from different parts of the venue, which was totally our vibe; we loved it. The bridal suite and backyard where the men are designated to hang out are both very nice. The backyard is cool and shaded and chairs are provided, so all the guys needed was an ice chest for their beer. The bridal suite was great with it's historic charm, and beautiful farmhouse vibe. It was also handy that the small kitchen is available to all us girls since we were there all day. The price point for what you get with the venue is very fair in my opinion. I shopped around and checked other venues, most local in Yolo County, but a few others in Sacramento and surrounding areas. I absolutely loved that we get the ranch for 3 days, it took off so much pressure when you're planning and putting together your wedding yourself. We used a day of coordinator, but just family and friends helped to set up and breakdown everything, and it worked out great. Other venues didn't compare when I looked at what was included in their packages. As the bride, it was a great start to begin checking things off the list; it certainly made it a little easier that so much was included. Overall, we really enjoyed working with Brent and Chelsea. Although, the ranch is a fairly new venue, it's a great place for a wedding. They are constantly making improvements to make the Big Day easier or more beautiful. Even from when we first walked the venue in December 2017, to our wedding in September 2018, improvements were made and it made our day even easier and more special.

We ordered one of their woodfired pizzas and a bottle of the Sauvignon Blanc and sat out at one of the "stall" type seating areas. The pizza was outstanding and so was the Sauv Blanc. We did not try any of the other wines yet, but we will absolutely be back, again. While we just stopped in for a bite to eat, I can see how this would be a wonderful location for private and public events. Open, great music, great food, excellent service, shaded seating, and outstanding views!

Good: Beautiful…read moreoutdoor location. There was a pond with lily pads and a small water fountain, a vineyard was the backdrop to our head table, the grass was green and very well maintained. There are cute statue/figurine type things that make great photo opportunities. Overall it was just a beautiful, peaceful place with lots of room to play with setup ideas. They had shade screens that helped shade the spacious cement patio / dance floor in the late afternoon/evening. They also allowed us to bring in our own shade structures, and had plenty of outlets around the location for lights and sound equipment. They lent us a golf cart to help carry larger items from the truck to setup. They put up signs to direct traffic in from freeways, so we didn't have to. They had parking attendants available to direct cars into their orchard where there was plenty of room for parking and a golf cart shuttle service so our guests would not have to walk in the dirt. The restroom / changing area was air conditioned, spacious, and comfortable. It was nicely decorated. There were even wine / bottle openers in the dressing room, which we thought was fantastic. Bad: The lady in charge of the coordinating was very unprofessional. She was talking bad about us behind our backs on several occasions, once even to my own mother. The end time kept changing, with our contract stating one thing and the coordinator saying something else, several times. We were under the impression that we could dance until 11, then be all packed up and gone by 12, but she cut off our DJ at 9:45 and wanted us out by 11. The golf cart that we were able to use during setup was not available for use at the end of our event due to not having headlights, and with our lights packed up in boxes it was very difficult to see at night and made tear down a bit more difficult than it had to be. We were in charge of hosting our bar, which was fine, but when the coordinator saw that our caterer also brought tea and lemonade, she hired another bar tender to come and help, without consulting us and this was not even necessary. The parking attendants that did a fantastic job earlier were told by the coordinator (without our knowledge) to come serve themselves at our buffet, but we did not know that we would be needing to include them in a head count. This would not have been a problem if we would have known about them ahead of time. Luckily our caterer came prepared with extra food. The coordinator's husband offered to bring my truck over to help at the end of the night, but then made a comment to my mom about how "what kind of man doesn't take care of his truck?" and pointed out that the gas tank was on empty, when really the gauge has been broken for awhile now and there is plenty of gas in the truck. That was none of his business. Then about a week after our event, we went to a local business for breakfast and found out that our coordinator had been talking bad about us to other people in town, too. All in all: We do recommend this location. It really is beautiful, and is perfect for an outdoor venue. The owners were more than happy to meet with us after our event. They apologized profusely for the things that went wrong due to the unprofessionalism of their coordinator. They had no idea that some of these things were happening and were quite embarrassed. It does get hot in the summer, so plan accordingly, and use a different coordinator than the one that we had.

Our drive from Sacramento to the…read morecasino was easy, no backed up traffic.The scenic valley and mountains in the background made the drive more pleasurable. Upon arrival, drivers are met with clearly marked signs directing drivers to valet parking OR, the spacious well lit self-parking structure. For those driving from long distances, there is a gas station/convenience store located near the entrance of self-parking. Access to the hotel front desk and casino from self-parking is extremely easy as depending where you park can be a short walk to the elevators. I think that there is a parking level that allows you to enter the hotel lobby without taking the elevator. The hotel lobby is beautifully decorated. We were able to walk straight to the front desk and get checked in. Check-in was a breeze. The front desk staff, Jules, was fantastic. She was professional, welcoming and just a pure spark of joy the entire time. Being a stargazer, I asked about stargazing conditions (whether hotel lighting negatively impacted seeing the stars at night) and she patiently fielded my questions. Walking to our room through the casino was easy. On our way to the South Tower we passed restaurants, cafes and several well appointed areas to sit. The hotel design and decoration is absolutely stunning. Our room was also quite nice. We really enjoyed our stay. I would highly recommend this casino/resort for those looking for gambling fun and relaxation. Kudos to hotel staff and management for a wonderful experience.
