From wedding venue to baby shower venue, the sycamore is always our first choice when looking for a…read moreplace to celebrate. The venue is stunning and it hardly needs any decorations to feel complete. The gorgeous brick wall and string lighting steal the show. It's a perfect open floor plan with space for over 200 guests. The kitchen is tucked away in the corner providing an industrial sink, microwave, ice maker, and fridge/freezer, making it easy to store and prepare food for your event. The bar also includes a beverage cooler, bar sink for washing glasses, and plenty of shelves for storing alcohol. The venue is always cleaned, bathrooms always fully stocked, and tables and chairs provided by Cynthia making the planning process such a breeze. Cynthia is a dream to work with. She is super communicative with times available for picking up and dropping off keys. She provided us with a detailed walk through of the venue before our event, letting us know how to turn on lights and ac/heater unit. She let us know where to find everything we would need. She was so generous with time to set up and break down for our event both times that we've rented with her and we couldn't be more appreciative and happy with our experience each time. I'll always recommend this venue to anyone looking.

I know it seems I've been hibernating. I think this has been the longest YELP dry spell for me…read moresince I began my YELP journey. I feel the start of a Comedy, 2 weddings and a graduation will be the title. Our latest adventure was a wedding for one of hunnie bunnie's co-workers. When I heard we would be going to the "Commander's House" on Rough and Ready Island in Stockton, I had a tough time finding any information. And what a shame that is. What a beautiful location, tucked away in the Port of Stockton. This was actually the Commanders home at one time. Story has it that the Navy sold the land to the Port of Stockton for $1.00. If that is true, what a bargain! And this was before our current economic problems. The house is located at the end of the Lyon's Golf Course, which we didn't have time to explore, but was beautiful. Although you can see all of the cranes from the Port in the background, you can maneuver yourself to avoid having them in your pictures. The event we attended was held mostly outdoors, but the house would have been beautiful, with a little work. (They need to put up some decorations, the walls were bare. And the bedroom upstairs that the bride and her entourage used didn't have a stick of furniture or even a mirror. I would have brought one from home, if I'd only known.) One of the local restaurants provided the catering (YELP review to follow) and DJ provided wonderful dance music as we danced under the stars. A few suggestions for future/prospective brides: 1/ Set up some nice chairs upstairs in your dressing room and some folding tables for your belongings. 2/ Ask if lights can be strung from the trees if your event is going to be held after dark. It's really hard to photograph in pitch black darkness. 3/ Decorate the stairwell, it's a majestic backdrop for any bride http://www.flickr.com/photos/12568072@N05/collections/72157619034039566/ PS. Here's the only place online that I found any information on the Commander's House. Not to mention, this is a pretty funky wedding website.

My girlfriend threw her daughter's first birthday here. The setup is pretty standard for a hall --…read moreit's not the largest space but it can hold (I'm guessing) 250 people comfortably. There is a nice bar area in which hosts can set up an open bar, and a stage for a DJ setup. My girlfriend had a dessert stand and there was plenty of room to set up all the fun decorations that come with a backdrop. She even had a taco vendor set up outside so it's nice to know this banquet hall honors outside vendors with the assumption that insurance requirements are met. Parking is very limited for guests and when it fills up (which it will), there is street parking but watch out for posted time limits. Considering how loud we all were, it's safe to say that you can host your next party here without worrying about noise restrictions.

What an awesome hall to have that special event. We had our sons baptism this past Saturday and it…read morewas amazing just perfect. Our event, the venue and all around interaction with everyone involved was the best. The owner and staff was remarkably professional, helpful very easy to work with I can't say enough good things about the staff. Our event was awesome everyone loved how the hall looked we got so many compliments. This place is a very affordable venue hall holds 150 ppl but can comfortable seat and hold many more. Has a full kitchen w/warming trays, huge fridge, AC, private and street parking, raised stage, draped ceilings, tile floors, bar, another fridge here and ice machine. The only flaw I find is there's 2 single stall restrooms 1 men, 1 women other than that everything was perfect for holding a small event. We really didn't have major restroom issues although I say we ended up with around 200 people at our event. There were times it could be a bit of a line not too bad though. This would not detour me from leasing this hall again and again. You need a deposit to book, they do require 2 security guards and are very open to allowing you to set up a day before if the hall is not booked that day. They also do all kind of rentals you may need for your event at very affordable prices. We ended up renting tables and chairs from them. The owner of this venue also owns the party store across the street so they just bring anything you may want to rent or buy right over. They make balloon garlands at the store too although we ended up doing our own garland. I highly recommend this business all around 5 star service and experience. The only thing I would like to add is the need for a bigger AC unit and/or an additional large electric cooler (they have 1 already). We had our event 7/13/19 and that day was 100 degrees I believe the hall was cool when we got there and then it was just super hot. Which is normal I know with the door constantly being opened and as more people arrive plus the speakers from the DJ and so on. I do feel there is a big need for an upgrade. Hopefully the owner will considered addressing this area because inside the hall got to be pretty unbearable. Other than that this hall is perfect.

Overall wonderful wonderful experience. John the concessionaire was amazing and always prompt to…read moreanswer our inquiries. The day of our wedding they were attentive to our needs and very easy going. They allowed us to basically add any extras we wanted to for our big day. The only bad thing for us, since we live so far away, is that the food tastings were done during other events. The idea behind this made a lot of sense- it was so we could try the food in bulk just like our big day- but driving multiple times out that way @ 1.5 hours each direction was a little burdensome for us. Aside from that I would highly recommend. Staff was wonderful and place was absolutely great! Thank you chez Shari for making our wedding day amazing!!!

I have been lucky enough to DJ at this beautiful venue, and the outdoor scenery is truly surreal…read more The attention to detail throughout the venue feels like something out of a fairytale castle, and the décor ties everything together perfectly. I've DJed more than 10-15 weddings here over the last 10 years, and I'm always amazed at how consistently the venue maintains its beauty and charm. In terms of logistics and setup, we are normally given 1.5 hours for vendor entry and setup. We also complete the required vendor form, which asks for our estimated setup time. The form notes that if additional time is needed, vendors should call in advance. Because of this, our team always makes it a point to communicate our arrival and setup timing ahead of schedule when working at the Rivermill. Overall, we truly enjoy working with the staff here and coordinating the timeline and event together as a team. I look forward to working many more events at this beautiful venue.

As a professional wedding DJ for the last decade, I can confidently say that River Mill in French…read moreCamp, CA was one of the worst venues I've ever worked at. I DJ'd a wedding there in May 2026, and while the venue looks beautiful in photos, the actual experience behind the scenes was extremely disappointing. I'll give credit where it's due -- the landscaping and outdoor aesthetic are gorgeous and definitely photograph well. However, once inside the ballroom, I noticed spiderwebs in almost every corner, many with actual spiders still in them. For a venue that markets itself as upscale, the cleanliness and maintenance inside did not match the image they advertise online. The treatment toward vendors was also incredibly unprofessional. I was only allowed ONE hour to fully unload and set up all of my DJ equipment before guests arrived, despite caterers and other staff being allowed ample setup time. On top of that, I was not allowed to temporarily park on-site while unloading gear. I had to park across the street and haul thousands of dollars of equipment back and forth. After the wedding ended, I pulled into the parking lot briefly to load my equipment, and one of the managers told me, "You're lucky my manager isn't here because she would yell about where your car is parked." Completely unnecessary and disrespectful, especially after working a full wedding day there. The staff overall were not welcoming or vendor-friendly, and the policies are extremely rigid. For example, if your event is booked until 10:00 PM, they require everything to end 15 minutes early. So realistically, if you want your wedding to go until 10:00, you need to pay to book until 10:15. As someone who works weddings professionally and values both the couple's experience and the treatment of vendors, I personally would never recommend this venue. If you care about the people working hard to make your special day successful, I strongly encourage you to consider how this venue treats its event staff before booking.

I rented this place for a baby shower I was hosting. I had been here once prior and thought it was…read moregood enough on such a short notice and luckily they had availability. Pros: - Affordable. To rent it was $600 starting at 8am to midnight. - Kitchen with two working fridges - Provides table and chairs - In a good area without too much going on Cons: - The whole place needs to be updated. It definitely feels outdated and there are no frills. - You're required to get insurance on your own, which isn't too bad. I paid $120. - $150 for a cleaning fee and $500 cash deposit - Bathrooms were not clean and felt really dirty to be in - Chairs are really old and beat up - Smells old I would definitely recommend for a baby shower or something not too fancy. The occupancy is only up to 120 people. Not recommended for a wedding or a quince. Honestly, you get what you pay for. You can make it look real nice if you decorate it enough.
