Testimonial:
“We booked Gary on the spot after touring his property; the moment we stepped out of our cars, met Gary, and learned about the history of his beautiful estate we knew it was the perfect fit for our wedding. This was the best decision we could have ever made. Gary made the entire planning process stress-free - he was easily reachable for questions, works with vendors seamlessly, and is so supportive. We were able to put the vision of our special day into reality easily. Because there is a 3-night stay requirement for weddings, it was memorable to spend quality time with friends and family for the whole weekend which is something we will cherish forever. We are so thankful for choosing Suisun Valley Inn and for all they did for us that weekend.” - Megan

Testimonial:
“We hosted an 80-person wedding at Willow Camp and the estate made for an absolutely magical weekend that we will never forget. We had the entire wedding party (32 people) stay on site between the main home, carriage house, airstream, love shack, and bali huts.Moving from the main house/pool down to the main lawn, you basically enter Narnia. The Carriage house in itself has great charm. The airstream, which has all the bells and whistles on the interior, offers its own dedicated space. The pond and bali huts are truly where you are transported to another world, and utilized this space as much possible for our wedding and it created a totally unique environment. It allowed for our guests to forget about the real world for a moment and fully immerse themselves in the property and our wedding. If planning a wedding, you may be in constant communication with the owner Steve. Steve is amazingly helpful, but we think he would be the first to admit that he is particular and you should be aware of that if planning a wedding. Know his rules though and you’re golden: Music off by 9 PM, no major things left on lawn overnight, and treat the property with care (it is very old after all). ” - Matt
