We recently hosted our daughter's wedding at August Meadows, and it was truly perfect. She had a…read moreclear vision for her big day, and this venue brought it to life beautifully. The owners were incredibly supportive--reliable, responsive, and followed through on every promise. One of the things we appreciated most was their flexibility. Unlike many venues that require you to use their preferred vendors for catering, bartending, or florals, August Meadows gave us the freedom to choose our own. That made a huge difference in creating a day that felt personal and unique. We also opted to have them handle the cleanup the following morning, and it was absolutely worth the extra cost--stress-free and seamless. The location itself is secluded and offers a wonderful sense of privacy. I highly recommend visiting in person to ensure it aligns with your expectations. As a small heads-up: the parking area is unpaved, and there's a bit of gravel to walk through, which posed a slight challenge for a few guests in high heels. Also, having a microwave in the clubhouse would be a nice addition. Other than that, our experience was outstanding. I would wholeheartedly recommend August Meadows to anyone looking for a beautiful, flexible, and well-managed venue.

Located minutes from Turlock (where there are plenty of hotels for guests), this is a great outside…read morevenue ideal for a wedding, family reunion, school event, club fundraiser, or company event. Owner was very helpful with valuable suggestions to make the event a success. Private location surrounded by trees has a large grass area, great gazebo in the round area set up for drinks, and a cement area ideal for dancing. Rooms available for bridal party to get dressed (wished it had AC) for the big day. Strongly recommend you check this venue out. The parking area is dirt (owner made sure it was watered prior so minimal dust). Getting from the parking area into the venue area there is small gravel so watch your step and footwear.

I'm going to be completely honest Pawan and JS Linens are amazing!!! We had originally looked at a…read moredifferent rental company in Modesto and it left a terrible taste in my mouth, purely the chauvinistic approach and condescending attitude. We then scheduled an appointment at JS Linens and the difference was immediate! Pawan is incredible and soooo soo sweet! We immediately decided to go with them for our wedding next May. The only thing I wanted that they didn't have was nicer wine glasses (we are a little bit of wino-s) and a round wood table for the cake. She ORDERED wine glasses checking with me if it's what I had in mind and liked them and then BUILT our cake table!! Seriously how awesome is that?! In the mean time my family has decided to use them for all wedding events. My momma-in-law used them for our engagement party! Everything went off without a hitch and we got to use the cake table! Seriously adorable!! :) And then my mom is using JS Linens for my Bridal Shower. You cannot go wrong with JS Linens and Pawan!! Seriously one of the kindest sweetest woman I've ever worked with!

We could not find the tent size we needed from any other party rental company in the area (Including Fresno and Modesto) and Rick worked with us to not only find the right size but also VERY fair pricing. They were on time and the tent was PERFECT! We were also able to rent tables and chairs from them and they were great. I can honestly say we couldn't have had our party without him!! We will definitely use them again for any future events!

LOVE this venue! I got married here and we were so incredibly grateful to find an affordable…read morewedding venue. I cried the day I booked it because we didn't have to go into debt for our wedding. Jose and Karla are easy to communicate with and very accommodating. The setting is breathtaking, make sure you take enough time to get your couple pictures where you want on your day. We didn't have time to walk down to one of the photo spots(our fault) and I was very disappointed because it's a beautiful tree with a swing that I'd been dreaming of getting pictures at! Totally recommend using this venue! Organizing your own vendors gives you a chance to customize your wedding and save money

The owner has no people skills at all, too sensitive to questions being asked about his pricing…read more They give you a price for the venue then adds separate charges for use of bathrooms and force he's over priced security on you( which I'm sure he owns) by the time all is said and done the good deal is gone. Pass on this guy and he's poor negotiating skills. There's plenty other places that know how to deal with people without having to deal with an insecure owner. Never mind the place isn't handicapped accessible, you pay even more for the use of a handicapped bathroom. I would give a zero if I could.

I was here for my great aunt's memorial service and it was nice. They had a projector to let us have a slide show. I'm not sure how many rooms the hall has, but I noticed two. The bathrooms were clean and didn't smell and were stocked with toilet paper and paper towels. The overall cleanliness of the building was good.
