    Our wedding was 5.4.24 and was one of the best days of our lives thanks to everyone at Gold Hill Gardens. From the friendly service, attention to detail, extra decor, gorgeous house, beautiful venue spots, and everything in between. Even with rain and a massive hail storm, we were able to have so many options for our ceremony and reception and Mike even checked in on us! We could not of asked for a more perfect venue and staff to work with for our big day. We will forever owe Gold Hill Gardens for one of the best days of our life that we can look back on forever!

    We loved our wedding here! It was a night to remember! The Gold Hill Gardens team made it so stress free and easy to work with. Everything was perfect. We would recommend this venue, it's worth every penny!

    Let me simply say. What a beautiful venue! As a wedding photographer, I highly recommend to have your wedding at this place. Such a great location and the sunset lighting looks incredible at the ceremony area. The reception area is beautiful as well. I had a great time photographing here and hope to work with the Gold Hill Gardens staff again with future weddings.

    Absolutely perfect wedding venue! The couple that owns the place is super sweet and they did everything possible to make our wedding, and stay in the bed and breakfast, great! The property itself is beautifully landscaped and the owners are always finding ways to improve. They recently installed a permanent event tent over the reception area so you don't have to be as concerned about the weather. This venue also had the best bridal suite out of all of the places we looked! It was full of mirrors and had great lighting which made for stunning bridal photos. The lower ceremony site gets the perfect amount of shade for a 5:00 pm ceremony in the spring. Additionally, they have an extensive selection of decor, furniture, and games to choose from for your special day. Mike went above and beyond to help out on our wedding day (seriously). When I had a flower mishap in the morning, he went and fetched eucalyptus on his quad from a tree on the property, and when I didn't have a sign ready to go, I saw him with scissors in hand taking care of it! The property is great, but the people made it ever better. If you are interested in an outdoor wedding with the beauty of a country club, but the feeling of a private venue, this is it!

    My husband and got married here in early July and it was everything we wanted and more! It was beautiful, private, and the perfect spot to have a garden wedding. It was about 100 degrees out, but the tent and shaded areas made it very tolerable. The owners were kind, supportive, and worked close with my wedding planner to make sure the day was smooth. I would highly recommend this venue - seriously the best day of my life!!

    Absolutely gorgeous venue. The owners Mike and Cindy are a dream to work with. Very down to earth and genuinely kind people. They are very flexible and had accommodated us with all of our needs. Due to covid we had to postpone the wedding and they had worked with us to get everything moved over to the new date. The venue has a large storage of various decorations and wedding signs that can be used at no cost, the inventory is quite expansive and has nice items for use. Our guests absolutely loved all the different areas to take pictures since the whole venue is just so beautiful. There were lawn games put out (optional) which the guests enjoyed during cocktail hour. The venue comes with chairs (two color choices) and tables. There is a bridal salon on site in the villa. The villa also has 5 bedrooms for overnight use, at an additional cost. Although there is no dedicated groomsman suite, the grooms were able to utilize one of the rooms in the villa as the groomsman suite. The bedrooms are spacious and each room has its own bathroom. The property has a lovely pool and two different sites for the ceremony, depending on preference and party size. The reception site now has a permanent tent over it, so no need to worry about rain and weather. The tent is upscale in presentation. The owner also has a golf cart he uses during the ceremony to help transport people who need help getting up and down the hill (if that is the chosen ceremony spot). He also mandates a day of coordinator, and although I initially did not want to spend the extra money on that, I am so glad that I did. Our coordinator Raegan made sure everything ran smooth, helped keep us on our timeline, took care of little things, worked with our other vendors and took care of behind the scene problems, which in turn took all the stress off of me as the bride and let me enjoy our day. We rented 4/5 rooms in the villa and stayed there overnight with our wedding party. Once the guests cleared and we settled down, Mike got the fire started for us and provided us with pool towels as some us took a dip in the pool. The next morning we were treated to a continental breakfast. In all, we had a very pleasant experience.

    Beautiful venue with lots of fun amenities. The house and B&B were beautiful and nicely appointed. Mike the owner is at your beckon call for a hassle free event. Breakfast, made by Mike and wife Cindy was delicious and right on schedule.

    We recently had our wedding at Gold Hill Gardens (Aug 2014). I had a hard time finding an affordable venue with everything we wanted in Placer County, but GHG popped up on yelp. (Special consideration for serving home brew and having our dog there for photos/set up) They weren't open yet when we visited, but Mike and Cindy showed us the plans, and let us know their schedule for completing the modifications to the property. Everything was done on time, and beautiful! They were very accommodating and let us visit a few times before the wedding to lay everything out, tour it with our caterer/coordinator. Every time we visited Mike and Cindy were always so nice, offering water, something else to drink or snacks! Cindy's dream bars are great! We were able to have our rehearsal there the day before the wedding. Our dog had a blast hanging out in the creek during the rehearsal and while setting up for the wedding! We were able to crate him for our ceremony when he needed to be put away. (no dogs in the B & B which is totally understandable!) Mike was super helpful in communicating what the B & B had available for us to borrow/use for the wedding day and the rules were all clearly laid out in the contract. We had early check in for the bridal suite- and when we arrived at 10am Mike and his staff were busy setting up the tables/chairs, Cindy was baking amazingly yummy goodies in the kitchen! With Mike/staff's help + my wedding coordinator all I really did was unpack the car, show how I wanted things set up and then they did it all. Mike even offered to pulled a tractor out to hang lights in the tree by the dessert table, I was like wow, that's amazing but sounds like a lot of work, if they wanted to that'd be amazing but I was just thinking of stringing them around the trees. 5 minutes later here comes the tractor! Mike really goes the extra mile to make their property look beautiful for you! So I was mostly inside getting hair/make up done, or wondering around with my pup just checking in with everyone. Everything was ready to go for our 5pm wedding early! Our wedding was beautiful. Mike took us on a wheeling adventure across the creek so we could walk across the bridge for the ceremony. (he dodged the sprinklers and cows so we didn't get wet- which was pretty funny and honestly made me loosen up before the ceremony! which I needed!) Throughout the wedding Mike and Cindy were so helpful with our DJ, coordinator and caterer, giving a helping hand when needed! They worked with us too on having a babysitter there for some of our guests, mostly they played on the upper lawn, had dinner with everyone, then watched a movie on my laptop. When music went off at 10pm, they even helped us clean up a few items. We all hit the sack that night and slept really well! Mike and Cindy were up super early the next morning making a spectacular breakfast for us and our guests. They even accommodated the extra guests we invited for breakfast. Breakfast was delicious and served on the B & B patio. Afterwards we all cleaned up and were able to get out of there completely by about noon! I'm really excited to see this venue progress, they've got great plans for the future. And we'll definitely be back! I'm really happy we were able to find them because otherwise we would not have been able to have our wedding in Placer County where we live- I really wanted to show our family what a lovely area it is! I know many of our guests stayed in Auburn and enjoyed Old Town, the farmers market and some wine tasting on the Placer County Wine trail. FYI- if you have your wedding down by the creek, you may get bugs/crickets in the layers/on your dress, just flick them off, and don't worry about it, they don't show up in photos. And once you leave the creek area they all drop off and you won't have any pretty quickly.

    This was such a cool find!…read more We came to town for a family members birthday party and wanted to stop by a brewery for lunch and check out the area. The place was way bigger than what I was expecting! The parking lot is huge, and it was packed! You order your beverage and food at the bar and they pour you your drinks and give you a pager for the food. I was impressed to see the food was coming out of a food truck for how large the venue is. I was drinking the Mexican lager, served with salt and lime. I thought it was super tasty, I liked it a lot. My husband was drinking the hazy ipa which had a pretty high percentage, I believe like a 7.5%! It was surprisingly easy to drink and fruity. Food we ordered the BLT and it was served with house made pickles and potato salad. The potato salad had cheddar cheese inside it, I like that twist. I ordered the pizza pretzel and at first thought $18.50 is pretty steep pricing for a pretzel but let me tell you, the pictures do not do the size justice. It is literally the size of a pizza! So big, covered in mozzarella cheese and fresh basil. Came with plenty of dipping sauce too. I loved it, it was so fresh and delicious, and perfect to share! I had more than half leftover to take home! Check this spot out it was pretty rad, they had live music and the vibes were great! We could've hung out here all day perfectly content.

    So...we are a local family that enjoys going to local breweries. Sometimes it's just us older…read moreadults and sometimes it's with the kids and grandkids. Here's the hard truth, Hillenbrand has really good food and good beer. However, they are chasing away families left and right. Kids are not really welcome at all. The signs posted make it evident. The best seating area is marked with 21 and over on each and every table. I get it. Sometimes it's nice to have an adult only night out. However breweries in the area should decide who they want their customers to be. On a Thursday evening, it should really not be an issue for a family to have a nice night out. The highlight of our night for me was drinking beer out of a plastic cup. For the second round we asked for glassware, but were told we had to buy the glasses to have glassware. When we turned that down, we got a sales pitch for the monthly stein program. Sorry! For the monthly amount they want I'm pretty sure the winery around the corner has a better deal. We also asked if we could bring in our Hillenbrand glasses that we already have the next time to use and the girls behind the bar had no answer. The best part was when the bartender handed over the plastic beer cups and said enjoy your plastic. So the question is, next time we go out on a Thursday night to enjoy a beer and food is it going to be Hillenbrand or the 3 other breweries in the area. Also the girls behind the bar gratefully filled us in to the fact that Hillenbrand is not a brewery but in fact a bar. Too bad Ron wasn't there tonight. PS our two children were very well behaved and stayed by us the entire time we were there.

    Had the place to ourselves in Late July on a Thursday…read more Beautiful views everywhere you look, including the train tracks. Bed & linens exceeded expectation. Extremely clean. Location would be great for Receptions or large family getaways, especially if you can occupy all the rooms. No real 'food' or 'drink' amenities, so bring your own. I will note, the kitchen is spacious with modern appliances. The wife & I had a great stay. I suggest searching BOOKING.com for a reservation.

    Where do I start...ok,...the bed was beyond comfortable... we just didn't want to get up…read more We called direct for our reservation, which I would highly recommend as the online booking was a bit confusing. The photos and room description was different depending on what site you looked at. There is a steep staircase to get up to the upper rooms so if stairs are an issue, book one of the downstairs rooms We had the Stafford suite and it was amazing. Nicely decorated and again, that bed was so so comfy. If you are under 5'8" you may need a step stool to get in the bed! It can be noisy with the freeway and train nearby but we weren't bothered by it. There is a huge fountain outside the window that helps. This would be a great place for a small wedding or family reunion... the whole place is inviting and cozy. I am sure the grounds are gorgeous in the spring! They do not offer breakfast so we brought some muffins and fruit and enjoyed our coffee in the parlor... you do have full use of the kitchen so If you want to cook, you can. The owners are very prompt to reply if you have questions and check in was a breeze! We will most definitely be back!
