We had the absolute best experience with Fairview Laguna Seca! From the very beginning, Danielle was the reason we fell in love with the venue, her energy, warmth, and attention to detail made us feel so confident in our decision. When she transitioned out of her role, we were a little anxious, but then Melissa came in and completely blew us away. Melissa worked with us through the last 6 months of planning and was nothing short of incredible. She listened to every idea, every concern, and somehow made everything happen exactly how we envisioned it. She always made us feel heard, never overwhelmed, and her calm, organized energy was everything we needed. On the day of the wedding, she was a total rockstar. She kept everything running smoothly and still managed to check in with us, make us laugh, and reassure us that everything was under control. We honestly don't know what we would’ve done without her! Amber joined the team just days before the wedding, but you’d never know it. She was so on top of things and jumped right in like she had been with us the whole time. Matt was also amazing, he made sure the day flowed perfectly and kept everything on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. The food was delicious and there was so much of it, our guests are still talking about it! The bartending team was fast, friendly, and so easy to work with. Everyone from the Fairview Laguna Seca team went above and beyond to make our day feel special and stress-free. Our DJ, Ernesto, did an incredible job! He stuck to the vibe we wanted, played every request we had, and kept the dance floor going all night long. And the FLORALS … wow. D'Lily's absolutely nailed it. Every arrangement was stunning, fresh, and picture-perfect. They truly brought our vision to life. We can’t thank the entire Fairview Laguna Seca team enough. Our wedding was a dream, and it's all because of the amazing people who made it happen!

The Bird Ranch is pure magic. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into another world. It's serene, timeless, and has so much attention to detail. Every inch of the property is beautifully designed. Julie the owner has made it cozy with beautiful interiors and sprawling curated outdoor spaces. The presence of nature is so incredible (butterflies, birds, creek, etc.) We hosted our weekend here, and it was perfect. The property has an incredible balance of rustic charm and thoughtful modern touches. It's the kind of place that instantly makes everyone feel at ease. This place has so much soul. It’s not just a venue, it’s an experience. If you’re looking for a space that feels elevated but still grounded and deeply authentic, this is it!! I can’t recommend it enough.

Our experience with Fresno Fields by Wedgewood Weddings could have used a little more communication from the staff during the initial planning, but overall we were very pleased with how our wedding day turned out. The space was absolutely beautiful and setup perfectly for our celebration. The staff were competent and very friendly, and the buffet captain in particular went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed and that we were happy throughout the night. The photo booth was a huge hit with our guests and kept everyone entertained. We had a great experience with this venue, and on the day of the wedding they were very organized, the food was fantastic, and everything went really smoothly. We would definitely recommend Fresno Fields to other couples looking for a beautiful, well-run wedding venue.

We arranged a very short notice wedding during our travels to Yosemite with a group of friends. It was casual and fun - exactly what we wanted. They made a venue package for us because of rare request… can’t thank them enough. The venue was so much fun and the views are awesome! All of our friends loved it. It got a little cold at night but they provided heaters. We want to go back during their rodeo to experience it full action.
