I have used it a couple of times for a birthday celebration and paint parties. They have three rooms, 2 bathrooms, and the original wooden bar. No kitchen but I brought in my own catering. It's got a nostalgic feel that can be dressed up or not depending on the theme of your party/event. The staff who manage the spot are friendly, helpful, offer suggestions and will answer all your questions. There is off street free parking and a wine tasting room on the top of the property. I bought wine from them for my parties to support the local business. Check out their website if you are looking for an event venue - www.thewaterfrontrodeo.com. You can go to their website for info and to schedule a tour.

They have a full kitchen, however, the company that came up with the food basically went to Safeway and got sandwiches, chips, and sodas. Lame! But not their fault. It just means that there was no need to use the kitchen. The sodas weren't even refrigerated! I didn't see a service entrance so I don't know how they got the food in there. They had a stage and that was a nice place for the DJ to work his magic. If you wanted a live band, that would easily be accommodated because there was a lot of room for the musicians, mikes, instruments, amps and other materials. The floor was bigger than expected. The grounds were beautiful and we were able to get a few pictures in the gazebo on the right side of the building. The left side featured a view of a tennis court, if I remember correctly. The bathrooms were nice and clean too. The main issue is that there is no parking! Absolutely none! And you are in the middle of nowhere. So, some people had to walk a country mile to get to this location. I don't know if I would have an event here. Crocket is not my spot, however, if invited to an event here, I'd make sure to get there very early. My colleague and I were the first two people there and got a parking space out front. Had there been a lot, I would have gladly parked in it.

"There is a light that shines special for you and me..." - The Light by Common…read more ~ THE AMBIANCE ~ Are we in the Bay or are we in Hawaii? Newport Beach? Is this even Vallejo? 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 cannot stress enough how great of an experience the planning process and day of was for my husband and I. The beautiful location and event space created a magical backdrop for all of our guests. Many of whom commented on how they loved the location with unbeatable views. Throughout the planning process , we worked with Maggie and her attention to detail and bright personality made the process fun and exciting. Maggie was always reachable by email, text, and call. She and Alma were there the day of the wedding to make sure everything went as planned . Working with them was so easy and they truly made our day even more special. We had a Thursday wedding and the accommodations to the upstairs living space was a perfect photo op spot for the "getting ready" photos , but also allowed our small family to have an intimate dinner the night before to mentally prepare. We found such marvelous vendors on their preferred list. And could not have been happier with the services provided. All that being said, I highly recommend working with the lighthouse to create a highly personalized experience for you and your guests for your next upcoming occasion.

This center has stepped up and filled the void. They seem to have something for everyone. I belong to a weekly writing group. My medical insurance pays for gym classes at the center. They also offer lunch daily, that is cooked on the premise. Despite how many times I've used the Yelp check in, I can't really comment too much on the lunch. I've only eaten here for the holiday special lunches on Halloween. The food was good enough that I finished it; however, it might be seasoned for older people and be on the bland side. Being the duchess at a senior center horrified me at first, but then I decided what the heck, I'll continue to check in and write a review. Surprisingly this center is not filled with only old folks.
