We had our daughter's debut celebration at the Petaluma Woman's Club (PWC) on Dec 20th. The PWC is…read morea wonderful place to have an event. It is a beautiful historic venue that has an elegant feel. The main room was large enough to accommodate our 146 guests and a dance floor. The spacious kitchen allowed us to chill our drinks, keep our food warm and pre-slice the cake. I booked PWC a year in advance and Donna was helpful throughout the process. Beth was kind enough to let us tour the venue several times as we were finalizing the details. Zach met with me towards the end of our celebration and was friendly. I would utilize PWC in the future and would recommend it to anyone who needs a venue for their event.

We…read morethought at first that the space might feel too big for a smaller gathering, but the natural light through their beautiful windows made it feel cozy and warm. The staff were kind and helpful, and Donna, the event coordinator, was incredibly responsive and easy to work with. I really appreciated how smooth they made everything during a difficult time. I would absolutely use them again for a future event.

Short review incoming!…read more I have been to the Petaluma VM building several times over the years to watch my adorable nieces perform their dance classes. Not much to write home about the facility as it is quite aged and could use some TLC to be honest. Again, it gets the job done for large events though with ample parking nearby and easy in and out access. Petaluma uses this facility quite a bit for many events throughout the year, so keep an eye out for them.

Womens restroom, two stalls are across the hall from the gym where the dance was held. There is a large parking lot with the entrance to the dance/gym is in the rear of the facility. Had over 150 West Coast Swing Dancers and it was comfortable with tables and chairs. The raised stage held the two DJ's.

We could not have dreamed of a more perfect place to hold our wedding last May. It almost feels…read moreunreal that a place as beautiful as Garden Valley Ranch exists. The entire property is breathtaking and there is nothing better than the sight and smell of fresh roses everywhere! Our guests raved (and even a year out they're still dropping us compliments) about how gorgeous the Belvedere lawn area and Secret Garden were, which is where we held our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. The koi pond is a hidden gem that we loved doing our first look at. Working with Jessica made planning our vision for the day feel so easy. She is so kind, responsive, generous, and professional. She and the team had also worked with many of our other vendors who were local to the area, so we felt at ease knowing everything would go just as planned on such a busy day. Garden Valley Ranch is a stunning place and we cannot recommend it enough. Our wedding day flew by so fast and we wished we had gotten more time to enjoy this beautiful space!

The owner that lives on-site next to the ranch was ready to jump in to help with anything and everything. She was assisting our couple with the timeline to ensure we got couple portraits during sunset. She even drove my assistant, bride, groom, and myself on a golf cart to catch sunset couple portraits overlooking beautiful sprawling hills. I'm so grateful for her help on Kelli and Doug's special day to make everything run smoothly and efficiently. Highly recommend this venue if you're looking for a rustic ranch venue!

It exudes the spirit of the holidays and the vibe of the city! Their Christmas event with creative trees for donation and fundraising was very festive. It brought in the merriness and warmth of Christmas season. Their eggs and butter event, was fun and surprisingly baby friendly. They served beer and coffee while having a baby playpen section with DJ as well. I peered over to the other corner and they were providing complimentary sandwiches, chips, potato and macaroni salad and snacks too. It was one of its kind for the day and the parade was just right outside. No entry fee as well! Awesome venue and central location to downtown! Love the events that they throw here for the city and public!

McNears. Consistent with their food and drink and their Mardi Gras menu proved it. I'm not sure…read moreif they will always have these specials but we celebrated Mardi Gras and they had an extensive offering of New Orlean style food for the celebration. The gumbo was superb, creamy, with chunks of sausage and not too spicy nor salty just the right amount of herbs & spices, very tasty. Then we ordered the fried chicken dinner another winner. And the third dish was the broiled shrimp, the shrimp were bathed in a buttery, garlic and other Cajun seasoning and herbs, just perfectly cooked and the toasted, diagonally sliced bread was perfect to dunk and sope up the flavorful sauce. The Presentation was spot on, service was fantastic, food arrived promptly. They even offered Beignets a standard New Orleans dessert but we were too full, I'm still thinking about them. I like that there is a host greeting and guiding one into the restaurant or the large bar area. McNears is an anchor of Petaluma. Good pub food, great service and welcoming employees. It's a must stop for a big or small meal and definitely a good beverage at the bar. I just love this place.
