Karlo and I toured two other venues before visiting the Lighthouse well over a year ago and immediately fell in love with the lush greenery, the palm trees, and the view overlooking the water. The Lighthouse felt like a destination even though it's in the Bay Area. It truly is a hidden gem and we got a lot of questions from our guests as to how we found this place. As a kid, I would often go to Suisun for the weekends with my Lola (Grandma) to visit family. The Carquinez bridge was pretty much the halfway point to getting home or to my Aunt's place - Crossing the Bridge and seeing the C&H Sugar factory served as a marker and indicator for me that I was almost home or almost there. At the venue, there is a pathway that leads to a lookout point where you'll see both the bridge and the sugar factory, and it was then we knew that we were going to get married here. ~ THE VENUE ~ The venue has two lawn areas which naturally lend themselves to a ceremony or cocktail hour space. It's absolutely beautiful. We had our ceremony on the East Lawn (smaller lawn area to the left when facing the Lighthouse from the parking lot). It has a downward slope which made for an amphitheater like setting. We used the green palms as a backdrop for our ceremony and to be honest - it's beautiful as is even without decor. The bigger lawn area is where we had our Cocktail hour and it was the perfect setting and large enough to host 92 guests. We wanted an all in one space where we could have the ceremony and reception at one place, and the Lighthouse offered that. The indoor banquet hall fit our guest count and the windows all around gave a spectacular view to the marina and the sun set. The only downside is the four pillars that hold up the Lighthouse as it does block the view in certain angles especially when my husband and I had our first dance; however, guests got out of their seats to have a closer look. The kitchen also isn't a full kitchen so be aware of this. There's no stove to cook on or to keep food warm, and there is no ice machine. This one didn't really affect us as we had paella catered and everything was done outside on the paella pans and burners. The biggest selling point is the inn upstairs which accommodates up to 8 guests. Our brothers have younger children and we knew that this would be most convenient for them as the kids nap/are in need of a diaper change/need an area to pump. We had two guests who needed to pump and it was nice to be able to offer a comfortable place for them to do so in privacy without having to take up a bathroom stall in the hall. The inn is well equipped, the beds were comfortable, and the decor is tasteful and we loved how history was incorporated in the small touches. It really made for beautiful getting ready photos and was such a pleasure to wake up to a view like that. ~ THE PEOPLE ~ As if the venue is not enough, the people behind the Lighthouse are truly the heart of it all. Crystal, Maggie and Alma like a what lighthouse does, guided us throughout the planning process, checked-in and made sure we were okay throughout the evening. They were so kind through it all and even made sure that my elderly parents were comfortable as mobility is an issue. We booked our vendors based on two things: kindness & connection, and we will never take for granted the hospitality they have offered us both leading up to our Wedding day and on the day-of. Thank you for everything! All in all, if you're looking for a one-of-a-kind, intimate venue, the Lighthouse is it. My husband and I are already looking forward to planning another event here in the near future!

I always make a point to appreciate the service of the staff by leaving an appreciative note and a generous tip to reward their hard work. Today, I would like to write a brief review of Flamingo Palace. I have been dining at this establishment for a number of years. Here are just few of the top reasons why you should consider Flamingo Palace for your next event: *Food Quality: Dishes are always freshly prepared and delicious. *Menu Selection: They offer variety of dishes be that a traditional Indian or Mexican Cuisine. * Service: The staff is always pleasure to work with. They are very responsive, accessible, and flexible. They always go the extra mile to make your event a memorable experience. *The value for your money: The prices are very comparative and well worth the quality of the food and the overall experience. If you have an event where you want a quality caterer with amazing food, great menu selection, the best customer service and a great value, choose Flamingo Palace for your next event. I highly recommend this company for anyone who wants reliable and top notch banquet and catering services!!

We had a contract with the venue for 1500 my contract was not respected at all. I was forced to pay 2000 on the spot.Also she told me over the phone she'll meet me at the venue at 8am but she didn't show up until 9am and we were all in distress. Coming towards the night we started cleaning up the new management arrived 11:30 while me and my family were still cleaning. We still had until 12 she came. We had a discussion. She didn't like what I said. I didn't like what she said. The venue was pretty much at this point clean. Outside had a little bit of garbage, Nothing major. (My brothers were taking care of outside ) The " Management" expected us to scrub the concrete outside ( the entrance) . They did not provided anything We can use to scrub. Everything at my event starting from toilet paper to napkins to trash bags I brought from home. She refused to give me my deposit and ended up, kicking me out without allowing me to clean up outside. A little backstory I was able to find out the person I had made His name is "Greg" My contract with in September was apparently fired because they had some differences with the new management " Lori " Unfortunately, customers like me were basically being dragged into their feud, because they couldn't act like grown-ups and speak about their differences unfortunately we are paying the price because of their lack of communication I also heard I am not the first person they've done this to and unfortunately, I feel like I won't be the last

We worked with Jen and Ken. The experience was smooth and we appreciated all of the knowledge and recommendations that were shared. We were a little concerned about parking but it actually turned out great for a group of about 80 people. The only thing I wish we had known was to bring our own event trash bins. The venue had trash bins available but they were outdoor ones. In the future we would bring our own decorative bins for a better experience. Overall 10/10 would absolutely hold another event here.

The hall is huge, and conveniently located just off the I80 freeway in Vallejo. Plenty of parking on site and also on the street. The hall was nice and clean.

Overall a very nice venue if you are looking for a place for any celebration including birthday parties, weddings, baby showers, celebration of life or whatever your needs. I highly recommend. They also have a bar on site which I did not use.
