I mean we looked all the way from Merced to Lake Tahoe and we found this place that is in Shingle Springs and it is so far back we did not get reception. 'This was a very good thing because nobody was on their phones. The owners were so nice and helpful. They helped us set up, tear down, and everything in between. I do not think you are going to find a better spot for a country wedding in NorCal. We got married in October and it was perfect. There is a spot to get dressed if you need but there are also hotels close and you can take a limo to the venue. I do not want to spoil the place from pictures so I added just a few. You will not be disappointed!!!

Before I began wedding planning, I knew that I wanted a magical outdoor venue with string lights…read more But I never imagined a place like The Gardens actually existed until we toured it and saw how phenomenal it is in person! It truly is an upscale, ethereal garden and it brought my Sailor Moon-inspired dreams to life. It was so breathtaking that it was the only venue we bothered touring - we booked as quickly as we could! We only questioned that decision once, which was when we read the contract. It was a little bit surprising for the uninitiated, since we never knew a few things like how we need to add vendor counts to our catering totals or that music had to be off by 9:00 PM. But I want to reassure anyone else made nervous by these things that all of that was totally not a big deal, and actually a blessing in disguise on all counts! I also really enjoyed having Lynn being present on the grounds and a part of our wedding. She is so sweet and I heard from several guests how much they loved her and what a treasure she is. Previously, my then-fiancé and I had been to a wedding somewhere else where the staff were rude to us and other guests. We never told the couple about it because we didn't want to put a cloud over their day, but the result was that we became very nervous about our own guests potentially experiencing something like that. It was such a relief to hear how much our guests loved Lynn! She also helped me with a timing issue I had starting the ceremony, so that was a big help and support that I don't think we would have gotten anywhere else. Having our wedding at The Gardens was a dream come true and we know we made the best possible decision. I'm sure others have already gushed about having the ceremony/cocktail hour/reception at one location or the incredible bridal salon or the fact that there's so many hotel options within walking distance, so I'll leave it at that and just say that you will really love this venue if you're planning for an outdoor event!

This was such an amazing place to have a wedding! I was the wedding planner for my nephews June 7…read morewedding and this is the venue they chose. I knew when I drove up the driveway this would be the place!!! ... and I looked at nine different venues for them!. The owner, Rachael, was exceptional to work with and super flexible to meet all of our needs. I feel like when you're planning a wedding this is a very important aspect to look for because your ability to carry out all the details depends greatly on how flexible the venue/venue owner is . Rachael was also great in helping us decide the best way to lay out the barn tables for dinner. We had roughly 100 guests and the indoor space fit everyone very nicely .This is a stunning venue in a perfect location that allows for absolutely beautiful photographs. Thank you Rachael for allowing us to use your beautiful space.

First initial call, the person who answered was a very un friendly. I wasn't aware I was speaking…read morewith the owner. We scheduled a viewing. It was confirmed it by email several times. The day of the viewing owner cancels it because she said she didn't have another confirmation? We liked the Barn and outdoor ambience. Side note- Rachel is definitely not a venue event professional. Rachel complained about Plymouth Not allowing her to have her winery. We were quoted one price. With table, chairs as well as outdoor chairs and the arbor were all included with a few cases of wine. As stated in the contract. We submitted the contract and paid the non refundable deposit to set the date. The contact is very informal and missing many disclosures. It also doesn't state anything about having to paying $60 a table to have outside or $10 a bench to sit on. Table and chairs were told all part of the package per the contract. As we got closer to the date and I emailed Rachel regarding some questions. First Rachel said they don't do outdoor tables. I replied that I saw her venue with outdoor tables off her website. Rachel replied "show me" I sent her the pictures from her own site showing out door tables. Rachel responds they are personal parties she has thrown. Along with a few other questions I had to regarding seating, food and music etc. Rachel emailed me back with a rude tone. Telling me she attached my contact for me to re-familiarize myself with it. That I had a lot of questions, she's never had a client with so many questions. Again, her contract did not state or disclose anything about table and chairs costing more to set a few outside. A week before the wedding Rachel says she hasn't gotten the catering insurance or the policy she needs me to get on the property for the date. I reached out the catering company that Rachel had recommended due to they have worked this venue prior. They confirm they have sent the needed information several times. I asked them to resend and CC me. Then Rachel in the emails says "got it". I then ask Rachel for the needed WI-FI information for the musician that will be needed. Rachel reply's telling me to have him use his hotspot. Totally unacceptable! Rachel emails me asking me for an itinerary of the event and times. The day before the event we arrive as scheduled. Rachel very rudely say oh you're already here. Rachel sat on her computer and watches us for the two hours as we are setting up. The was extremely awkward and uncomfortable. Rachel also had her kid going in and out of the venue while we are there setting our stuff up. This was not okay as we were setting up table placements plates cups etc. would like to know that people where not touching or coughing on what we are putting out. The day of the venue I assume Rachel thought she was going to sit and watch us and our guest. Rachel had a very rude and unfriendly vibe that all our guest felt and definitely made comments about her presence. Rachel walked around during our wedding and while we were eating with a very intrusive, warden style demeanor. In Racheal's contract it is stated that we must pay to feed her and her staff and allow them to drink our drinks. This is a vague disclosure. This is very concerning to me as if I had to get an insurance policy on the venue. If any staff get hurt or drink. I do not wish to be held responsible or have to monitor if the staff are minors. They will then use my policy to cover the cost of their injuries etc. I'm still confused to why it states in her contract that we are to feed them. We did not invite them to the wedding or allowed them to attend our wedding. Or hire them for any services? We clearly are renting the venue. I can't explain how totally uncomfortable it was having Rachael un invited walking around and watching us and our guest with this warden vibe. At the end of the night we had 9-10 to do clean up. At around 8:45 Rachel appeared agin with a very unwelcome tone to watch us clean up. I have learned since the event that we are not the only people that have experienced this from the Stone Barn Winery. It has been brought to my attention that Rachel has been kicked out of people's weddings and has many unhappy clients. Plymouth is very small town that Rachael has a un popular reputation in Plymouth for this type of behavior. It is posted on social media from others about their own experiences and encounters with Rachel. I am concerned about the over charging me $1,000. 00 and making my guest uncomfortable and putting stress on me for my wedding day. Rachael is a poor business owner and this needs to be brought up to the attention to consumer affairs and the BBB. With us in need of a venue with the set date and non refundable deposit of half the cost. We had no other options but to make the best of it. No one should have to pay money to be treated this way and have this type of stress added to their special day.

I am an ordained minister on the side, when not working my normal M-F job…read more I recently ordained a wedding at American River Grange. The place used to be the city hall located in Rancho Cordova. The outside looks like a small wine tasting room or a schoolhouse. The parking lot is rather small and no parking is allowed on the street. Alas I was able to continue driving and the next right brought me to a larger parking lot on the back side of a school. Enter into the ground of American River Grange. The ground are beautiful and on this windy day it still proved to be a beautiful ceremony. Roula was the wedding coordinator and she was fabulous. She was very attentive to details and the staff she had working with her were like a well oiled machine- they seriously made my role in the wedding that much easier. I look forward to hopefully doing another wedding there in the future.
