From the first contact with the Stirring, Tim the venue manager was incredibly helpful, prompt in his replies and willing to do what ever was needed to make the space perfect for the event. During set up, Tim was there with his team hanging décor for us and making sure we had all the tables and chairs we needed. They were all very helpful and gracious to work with. Our caterer was thrilled with the kitchen access. The café area was the perfect place to hang out away from the loud music and dancing. The kids LOVED the way it looked and felt. It was a huge hit and is now the hottest new prom venue in town. From an event planners point of view, The Stirring is easy and fun to work with. I will be doing more events there in the future!

We had the lodge decorated, inside and outside to accommodate all our guests. Scott did not hesitate to help us move the furniture, chairs and even got our beer kegs set up. We were able to enjoy the grounds with morning walks, late night talks, a fire pit and the deck with an incredible view. It's truly a weekend the entire family won't forget! Thank you Scott and Julie for the incredible weekend! Your resort is truly beautiful and we can't wait to come back and enjoy it again!

On a long weekend away, we stopped halfway between Sacramento and our end destination at the Tsasdi…read moreResort near Shasta Lake to spend one night. The staff were friendly and the entire check in process was easy. For the price, we got an individual tiny cabin with two bedrooms and a bath. It came with a simple kitchen and an awesome patio overlooking the, unfortunately, near empty lake. The staff informed us that the lake had been drained to help fight recent California wildfires, so that made me feel a little bit better. Anyways, the cabin was clean and everything you would need for a nice relaxing stay. My biggest qualm was that the hot water did not work so we were not able to take a shower (unless it was ice water cold). And the Internet did not work - not for browsing or streaming pleasure but simply for cell phone service in such a remote area. All in all, a decent spot to stay in the Shasta Lake area.

The Sheraton Redding is a wonderful hotel in a great location. They are located near the…read moreSacramento River by the Sundial Bridge and next to the Turtle Bay Exploration Park. The McConnell Arboretum and Garden is a quick walk over the Sundial Bridge. Tickets are available to the events at the McConnell Arboretum. During the winter, they do have holiday lights. During our summer visits, they had lantern of various shapes. We made reservations for a 2 queen room. They gave us what we reserved. It had a view of the Turtle Bay Exploration Park (not much to see from our room). The queen beds were comfortable. The bathroom for our 2 queen room had a tub and shower. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash were the Sheraton special. It was good enough for a one night stay. They do have a fitness room with cardio equipment and weights. It is sufficient for getting a workout in. This hotel does have a lounge for Platinum and above members. Non-alcoholic beverages like soda and water are complimentary. Alcohol is available for a fee. Evening appetizers were typical of Sheraton's. They only had a cheese plate. No dinner like at Marriott's. Breakfast offerings were a little better than the evening appetizers with scrambled eggs and bacon. The Sheraton was a good hotel that gave me a good night sleep.

The bad first, the prices for this Sheraton are way too high for what you get…read more Now, the good. The staff is wonderful and very nice. Our room was ready on time and we liked the room. It was not large and should have been for the price. But it was super clean and very comfortable. Redding does not have a lot of choices and I think the Sheraton knows this and if you don't want to be in a 2 star hotel, you have little choice. The pool was great and it was a hot day so we used it. They have a 24 hour business center which is fine and I needed it. The eatery is just fine, not great. But you will find something you want. This silliness about no one use straws drives me nuts. I actually use a straw so get me one. They have valet or self parking for a fee. They have one nice bar and that is all one needs. I would not stay here for days, but for a couple of days it was fine, just too much money. The outside is super pretty and the lobby is great. I think this place is new and that is great.

She interrupted the bride on the dance floor to point to the large decibel meter showing that the music was one decibel higher than she'd like. Horrific. Also, everything we asked for (which were all simple requests) was either an up charge or an inconvenience. Avoid at all costs if you want a pleasant wedding experience. Incredibly expensive for what you get. Many better options around Shasta County.

This location COULD be so much more... it's very run down. The grooms room smells of cat urine and…read morehas cats running all over. The Brides room is very dated and ran down, paint on doors peeling off... unfortunately, events have to end at 10pm, just when the party is getting started. Works are running in and out of the grooms room "playing" as tgey stated when asked why they were in the room... unacceptable. Grounds were unkept, tree branches hitting party in the face, debri on roof tops that blew onto our tables that were prepared for dinner, dance pad filled with debri, broken tables and chairs.

We chose Woody's because our little one wanted mac 'n cheese and they have some of the best in town! I cannot rave enough about the restaurant and how well they handled the party. The booking process was easy and completed via e-mail. This aspect was handy as I didn't have to leave the house or make a phone call on a busy day. The gentleman I spoke to answered all of my questions during the booking process. On the day of the party, we showed up a few minutes early to put up some decorations. A waitress and waiter came and greeted us right away. The owner even came by, promptly, and introduced himself to me. The kindess and professionalism was outstanding. Our waitress (I wish I remembered her name! I feel terribly that I can't provide it.) did an outstanding job! We were a big group of people and she took all of our orders, answered questions, and helped us with anything we needed. I hope it can be determined who worked that day so she can be given her kudos as she was lovely! Lastly, the kitchen staff did a great job getting our food out in a timely manner. I was impressed by their speed and the food was delicious. As the restaurant was busy, we didn't have a chance to say thank you one final time before we left. So, thank you again, Woody's! You guys made the party enjoyable and easy for us. We felt we could take a step back and enjoy our daughter's day! :)

It's a barn so naturally they do not have AC and just imagine having to be in wedding attire sweating everywhere. It was an unusually hot day around 110 so that did not help. I don't know if the venue or the wedding party paid to bring in giant water cooler fans (2 of them) which helped a little. As a guest I thought I was going to pass out. For this particular wedding they opted to have a food truck which was outside and partially under a shaded area. I did not see if they would be able to have food catered. If so I'd go casual and BBQ route. The restrooms were very nice and super clean thank goodness. The property itself is extremely secluded and off the beaten path. If that's what you want then go for it. The staff of the property seemed very slim to none and they did not seem to offer the usual wedding type assistance that I'm familiar with. Maybe this was based upon the type of package our wedding party purchased I don't know. Most of the traditional aspects of what you'd see for a schedule of events at a wedding did not occur. Beautiful couple , sweet ceremony and good to see family. Beautiful piece of property but limited for sure. Hope this helps.
