Sacramento sits in California’s beautiful Central Valley and boasts more than 250 days of sunshine throughout the year. The city offers something for every lifestyle, including sites dedicated to the area’s rich history, exquisite cultural destinations, exciting outdoor-related activities and a serene backdrop. Sacramento is home to over 30 museums and hundreds of unique and familiar dining destinations. Its location on the convergence of the American and Sacramento Rivers lends greatly to the area’s outdoor fun, including peaceful natural landscapes and intense activities.
Wedding venues in Sacramento play on the city’s sunshine, geography and culture, creating a wide range of options to envelop every personality and theme. From luxurious private golf clubs to history-drenched hotels and inns, rustic ranches to picturesque vineyards, Sacramento gives its all to couples ready to tie the knot.
Outdoor weddings reign supreme in Sacramento’s beautiful weather; however, the indoor venues offer just as much magic and charm. Both indoor and outdoor venues allow customization for a formal affair or a more casual, intimate event.
If you’re into country chic, the city and region offer numerous farms, barns and ranches to customize for your big day. Twinkling lights setting the mood against the rustic charm of original wood is definitely a common scene at many of the city’s more rustic venues. Historic landmark buildings, perfectly manicured gardens, and private clubs or estates feature breath-taking outdoor settings for an intimate ceremony and reception, under the Sacramento sun or its beautiful nightscape. Even still, the city and surrounding area offer numerous vineyards for a trendy, contemporary-yet-classic wedding style at a fraction of the cost of nearby Napa.
The city’s many indoor venues tend to be more on the formal side, although you don’t have to give into a formal affair. Want a cultural touch? Consider one of Sacramento’s many museums that open themselves up to ceremonies and receptions. Grand ballrooms allow your wedding to have that “ooh and ah” factor.
Many of the area’s venues offer both indoor and outdoor areas for ceremonies and receptions, allowing couples to choose one or both. Several of the beautiful hotels, historic inns and private estates offer such options, giving the best of both worlds.
Sacramento wedding ceremonies and receptions come in with a lower price tag than some other areas in the region. Starting price for 100 people averages between $2,000 and $5,000 although certain venues may cost less than $300 while others will set you back well over $50,000. Whichever end of the spectrum your budget falls on, you have your choice of indoor or outdoor venues guaranteed to make your dreams come to fruition. Two factors greatly affect the cost of your big day: number of guests and time; shorter, more intimate ceremonies and receptions will cushion your budget.
