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.

We're planning our outdoor spring wedding at Rancho Cicada Retreat after falling for the place a…read morefew months back. If you're planning a weekend wedding near the Bay Area, go visit and your search will be over. No other spot we visited offered such freedom to plan our own weekend celebration in a gorgeous setting - right on the Cosumnes River in the foothills of the Sierra - and at a worthwhile rate. They have been available for weddings for years, but, due mostly to word of mouth, are now filling up each year (we visited in mid-November and they only had 2 spots left). So far, our experience has been better than we could have imagined. When we arrived to check out the place (and stay a night in their River Cabin), a fire was roaring in the cabin and we found a basket filled with fresh-picked figs and a bunch of varieties of apples. They grow on site, in their diverse orchard (apples, plums, peaches, persimmons, nectarines...). Friendly and helpful hosts David and Bill gave us an amazing tour of the site, walking us through: - the commercial kitchen - wood cabins and tent areas (max 60 overnight guests/200 daytime guests) - the wedding site, a huge grass lawn along the river - introducing us to David's otherworldly 200 pound tortoise, Abe! We got to talking and never felt rushed. They were genuinely excited to share their property. Since then, communication has been prompt and kind. We're very excited to have our wedding there and I'll update this review with more information once we do. To note - the town of Plymouth has limited lodging and restaurants, but nearby Sutter Creek is an adorable and healthy old gold-rush town with plenty of B&Bs, shops, etc. And Amador County is a great spot for wine tasting, a huge plus! UPDATE: We had our wedding here and it all went wonderfully - I highly recommend this location. A ceremony along the beautiful river with great catering and a genuine feel - just right.

The lights made the place at night magical and there were hammocks hung all along the river. The grounds and cabins look well maintained and the place exudes relaxation and serenity. It would be a great place for a simple wedding, family get togethers, weekend of camping and yoga. It's about a 40 minute drive from Placerville with the last ten minutes going down a sketchy dirt road that's narrow and full of bumps. The grounds itself is flat but to get there from the parking lot is dusty and steep and rocky. Come prepared!

It was open and airy and had fairytale hobbit vibes ! I loved all the natural atm ! The reception was held outdoors under a large white tent with long tables . The cocktail hour and dancing was held in the open air barn space that was decorated with cabin like decor and great lighting . Behind the barn they had cool little chickens running around and lots of space for guests to roam around if they choose . It was so cute and fun! The location is a little bit of a drive from larger cities . Coming from Sacramento, it look about a hour drive . I believe they have rooms and even camping site to stay at if you wanted to stay overnight . What a great space for a wedding or whatever else celebration! The staff was nice , the parking was convenient. I would be excited to visit again if an opportunity comes up !

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!!!

Or stay up with your FUN friends and family, party, karaoke, roast marshmallows, and enjoy the beautiful atmosphere. This is a unique place that words just can't do it justice.
