The ceremony was perfect, we had our dogs in it too with them being a part of our family, and it was amazing, and so was the reception! They gave us a printed photo in a frame with our first kiss and it was such a wonderful gift before Willow left for the night. Truly amazing! We then had our banquet captain and she was phenomenal too!! Traelyn was so kind as well and made the dinner and the rest of the night run smoothly until it was time for us to leave!!! We will always recommend them and their staff to work with for any future events or friends who might get married soon!! - Nicole

Absolutely amazing to work with…read more I had my wedding reception here May 20th, 2019 (the ceremony was at a nearby winery). Alice and Halley were so great to work with - my most communicative vendor by far. I had a bunch of random questions throughout the process (as most DIY brides do - haha), and they always got back to me sooo quickly. The hall is a great blank canvas - white walls, neutral colored floor, etc. We are modern-minimalist in style, so we removed the curtains and hung our own. We also took out the stage to create more room. We fit 110 people in there EASILY, we definitely could've fit more. We hung up lights outside in the front and back, and set up lawn games outside. The covered deck is really large, too. The greenery is gorgeous, and there wasn't any road noise whatsoever. The kitchen is a great size too - we stored my wedding cake there overnight and assembled it in the morning. My wedding was beautiful, and Rescue Community Center allowed me to have afford other luxuries. My loved ones were STUNNED to find out how inexpensive the community center was to rent - you can easily make it look like a thousand bucks in there. I loved working with them, and recommend them to anyone looking for a venue.

One of the best parts of my wedding was the venue. We looked at numerous venues all over Northern…read moreCA and when we drove up to David Girard I just knew it was the one! The entrance is jaw dropping, the ceremony site is beautiful, and the reception area is the perfect party spot! The wraparound deck at the reception site is overlooking the vineyard and it gives great photo opportunities for your guests while they wait for you to take your own pictures. Between the sunset and the vineyard in the background, it's amazing! I can't tell you how many of my guests changed their profile picture on Facebook to a picture they took at David Girard with the vineyard in the background. The other reason I give this review 5 starts is because Keri, Diana, and Darci are AMAZING! They listened to every request of ours and they more than accommodated everything. From the first meeting, to the weekly phone calls I made with questions, to the day of the wedding they were beyond helpful. I couldn't have asked for a better team to guide us through the stressful process of planning a wedding. We knew we wanted a venue that included most things (ceremony and reception site, day of coordinating, catering, DJ, etc.). David Girard provided all of that! The food was such a hit! We chose the buffet and everyone loved it. The DJ (Steve) was awesome, the girls (Keri, Diana, and Darci) couldn't have been a better fit for us, and like I said before, the venue itself is just breathtaking. I wish I could relive my wedding day once a year; that's how perfect everything was! Note: We got married in October, 2016 and the weather was perfect.

We booked this venue about 1.5 years before our wedding date. They provided timelines and suggestions on what to do to prepare for your wedding. Then reminded you when you had appointments coming up and were flexible if you were running slightly late. They had tons of options to make the wedding personalized for you, from the food to the decorations and even the timeline. I told them that I did not want to be stressed out at my wedding, I had heard horror stories about brides not enjoying their wedding because of this or that. Liz did a fantastic job of wrangling all the wedding party together, organizing the first looks, putting someone in charge to make sure we got some of the food we purchased. I threw last minute add-ons like drone pictures and a remote control car with a 2 yr old in it at her and she handled as the pro she is. We used the recommended flower shop (Camino Flower shop) to provide the flowers. She is such a fun lady to work with. I'm not a person who usually can express exactly what I want, but she read between the lines and created a truely unique bouquet with the blue orchids (did you know there was such a thing?). We also used Cocomont (not included the wedgewood package) to help us with our decoration. This included a elegant rustic wooden panel and huge drapes to go high into the beams. It really added the personal touch we were looking for. Frank's Bakery from Cameron Park was the vendor for our desserts. He made the most delicious lemon bars and cupcakes. Then Grant DJ was our MC, who kept the party going till it was time to turn-off the lights. We were dancing all night long, with no lulls in the music. Overall this is a romantic, elegant, and beautiful venue run by a management who are truely the professionals at what they do. I was able to actually enjoy my wedding and not worry about whether we were on time. This is something you won't hear many brides say, just ask your friends. I loved every minute of my wedding and I will remember it for eternity. Thank you Wedgewood Weddings at David Girard Vineyards!

Rick shuttled the wedding couple and photographer to picturesque first photos of the snow capped Sierras, wildflowers, meadows and a beautiful pond. The venue has a cottage for the party to dress. My understanding is there are several venue options... we utilized the lower meadow for the ceremony and hors d'oeurves and then moved to the barn for dinner and dancing. The team shuttled anyone that wanted a ride; I, as most, preferred walking the pathway of lights to the beautiful upper meadow and barn. Tables, place settings and decorations were setup per my daughter's request. It was perfect evening. We utilized the barn to dance the night away. Some tips: If you want a limousine or party bus both Folsom and El Dorado counties offer transportation rebates($500 and up) if you have enough people staying at a local hotel. Check out "Go Folsom". We utilized Pinklane_Events wedding coordinator; Hannah made sure everything ran smoothly and has lots of decorator items to make your vision come true. There's lodging and Rv parks overlooking the picturesque American River in Coloma just minutes from the venue. If desired, the venue has space for a few motor homes.

People kept telling me how calm I was prepping and planning for our wedding and I accredit them for that luxury. Set up, pick up, partying, planning, was all done with ease and confidence being rest assured it was in good hands. We got so many compliments on how beautiful everything turned out and I whole heartedly agree. If you book here I strongly reccomend asking for reccomended vendors because they were the icing on the cake! From beginning to end Rick, Susan, Alex, and Tegan were the Fairy Godmothers of weddings creating the perfect whimsical wedding of our dreams for us to remember forever!

Do NOT get married here. The venue is very pretty, but organizationally, they are a complete mess…read more We were trapped into it with lofty promises and a deposit of half the whole cost. There was no communication between staff, poor communication between the management and us as clients, employees were unsure of their own roles and our provided "day of coordinator" had zero idea how to coordinate a wedding and I as the bride had to keep the day moving and tell her what to do next. (Even though we came up with a typical schedule together.) The management didn't know the size of the tables available at this location, and at our rehearsal the day before our wedding, we were told that we had to redo our whole seating chart because the tables were actually smaller than we knew. The food was brought up all the way from Sacramento in a U-haul truck, which was visible to the ceremony site during the ceremony. Half of our guests got sick afterwards. The food menus they gave to us to select catering from did not reflect what was actually available either. The chef took our selections down with a sticky note, and they lost that sticky note. They had to call us to confirm our choices. Choices we had to change AGAIN because the menu changed again. I even had to fight to have a decorated cake, and even then it ended up being extremely minimalist by design. More than once our wedding detail consultation dates had to be changed in favor of weddings that were much larger than our smaller event. They basically left our event planning to the very last minute. 2 months in advance. We spent $500 on liquor and sodas for people who didn't care for our pre-fabricated signature drinks (old fashioned's and French 75's) but the venue provided bartender never even touched those supplies. Instead, he opened up all of our red wine bottles at once, giving no thought for guest demand. We had to throw out half of the untouched wine bottles at the end of the night. Our guests had ZERO idea that there were more drink options. Please save yourselves and get married somewhere else. We are haunted by this experience.

Sue and her team at Sierra Banquet Center are fantastic!…read more We had my dads retirement celebration at Sierra Banquet Center just after the new year and it was such a fun evening! I had a few ideas of how I wanted the night to go and Sue helped to make that possible at her gorgeous log cabin venue. I had quite a few things to set up and Sue allowed us in early to take care of the setup so we weren't rushing and stressed right before the event. The holiday decor was transformed from Christmas trees to classy and elegant whites and golds for my event colors/theme. Everything was beautiful and the tri-tip buffet was delicious!! I would love to have another event at the Sierra Banquet Center! Thank you Sue (and your team) for all that you did to make my dads celebration so memorable!

Before I began wedding planning, I knew that I wanted a magical outdoor venue with string lights…read more But I never imagined a place like The Gardens actually existed until we toured it and saw how phenomenal it is in person! It truly is an upscale, ethereal garden and it brought my Sailor Moon-inspired dreams to life. It was so breathtaking that it was the only venue we bothered touring - we booked as quickly as we could! We only questioned that decision once, which was when we read the contract. It was a little bit surprising for the uninitiated, since we never knew a few things like how we need to add vendor counts to our catering totals or that music had to be off by 9:00 PM. But I want to reassure anyone else made nervous by these things that all of that was totally not a big deal, and actually a blessing in disguise on all counts! I also really enjoyed having Lynn being present on the grounds and a part of our wedding. She is so sweet and I heard from several guests how much they loved her and what a treasure she is. Previously, my then-fiancé and I had been to a wedding somewhere else where the staff were rude to us and other guests. We never told the couple about it because we didn't want to put a cloud over their day, but the result was that we became very nervous about our own guests potentially experiencing something like that. It was such a relief to hear how much our guests loved Lynn! She also helped me with a timing issue I had starting the ceremony, so that was a big help and support that I don't think we would have gotten anywhere else. Having our wedding at The Gardens was a dream come true and we know we made the best possible decision. I'm sure others have already gushed about having the ceremony/cocktail hour/reception at one location or the incredible bridal salon or the fact that there's so many hotel options within walking distance, so I'll leave it at that and just say that you will really love this venue if you're planning for an outdoor event!
