Stunning Sacramento Wedding Venues

If you’re looking for a Sacramento Wedding Venue, then I have the perfectly curated list for you!

When you’re planning a wedding, the first thing you’re searching for is the venue. Because that dictates everything. It’s where your story takes place. It’s where your loved ones gather, and it’s the backdrop of the romantic moments you’ll be experiencing on your wedding day. 

Sacramento is undeniably one of the most versatile locations in Northern California. Depending on your preferences, there’s a venue that can fit every single taste and preference. If you’re looking for a romantic, sun-drenched vineyard to be married in, a timeless, elegant ballroom, or even the orchards and fields that are the backdrop of Northern California, there’s a venue in Sacramento for everyone. 

I grew up along the backroads of these communities, and I’ve been photographing and filming weddings for the last ten years! I’ve seen firsthand what the right venue does to transform a wedding day into something spectacular. 

I’ve curated my personal favorite spots for you to find the one that fits you best! I’ve had the privilege of working with so many couples and I can’t wait to help you make your wedding unforgettable, and of course, picture perfect. 

The Willow Ballroom & Event Center in Sacramento

There’s nothing prettier than a blank canvas. With exposed brick walls, dramatic high ceilings, and stunning river views right outside of Sacramento, the Willow Ballroom is an opportunity for you to create a space that’s tailored right for you. They even have room dividers that you can use to expand the space and change the space specifically for your needs. 

The open layout gives me lots of room to capture those candid, emotional moments of you two between the ceremony and reception!

Vizcaya Sacramento

Let me paint a picture for you: gorgeous gardens that make you feel like you’re in a lush fairytale. It’s got a boutique vibe and has a timeless pavilion that make it perfect for everything from intimate receptions to outdoor ceremonies. 

Even though it’s located at the heart of sacramento, it feels like you’re in your own private oasis. 

The pavilion lights up at night and creates a stunning centerpiece (and looks beautiful in photo and video!)

Park Winters: An Elegant Sacramento Wedding Venue

Located right on the cusp of sacramento, Park Winters is the epitome of what it means to have a luxurious, romantic wedding. It’s a historic estate (yep, how dreamy!) with sprawling gardens and breat taking views.  If you want a grand, elegant celebration, this is the one for you. 

Personally, as a photographer, I love being able to sneak my couples away for sunset photos in the gorgeous gardens here. This venue is one of my favorite backdrops to play with. Oh, and the tree-lined drive up to the Park Winters estate? It’s the thing of dreams. 

The Firehouse Restaurant: Intimate Atmosphere that feels downtown chic, right in Sacramento. 

Okay, this is going to pull all those who want a classic and effortlessly elegant wedding. It’s got historic charm with brick courtyards, lush greenery, and the courtyard ceremony space is the best place to capture the intimate moments between you and your future spouse!

Crocker Art Museum | But Make it a Wedding Venue right in Sacramento

For couples who love modern elegance with a touch of culture, the Crocker Art Museum is a show-stopping venue. Its stunning architecture combines historic charm with contemporary design, offering both indoor and outdoor spaces for your wedding day.

Why I love it: Photographing weddings here is always an artistic experience. The light in the courtyard is incredible for romantic portraits, and the museum’s sleek interiors provide a striking contrast for modern, editorial-style shots.

Pro tip: If you’re into statement photos, the grand staircase inside the museum is absolutely iconic—it’s a must for your album.

Grand Island Mansion

This Italianate-style mansion just outside of Sacramento is perfect for couples dreaming of an opulent, old-world wedding. With its luxurious interiors, expansive grounds, and riverside setting, it’s a venue that feels straight out of a romance novel.

Why I love it: I’ve had the honor of capturing multiple weddings at the Grand Island Mansion, and it never disappoints. The ceremony lawn is dreamy, and the grand staircase makes for a show-stopping first-look location.

Pro tip: The mansion photographs beautifully in every season, but spring weddings here are extra magical with the gardens in full bloom.
