Where to begin...I absolutely LOVED working with Angelica & The Willow Ballroom. She made it so easy throughout the entire wedding planning process, and she truly cared about us having the best day possible. Her attention to detail, expertise, industry knowledge, suggestions, and caring demeanor did not go unnoticed. We toured several spots around the greater Sacramento area for our wedding, and we had the best experience with The Willow Ballroom. It was such a beautiful and unique space, and we didn't have to worry about a ton of decor because the space speaks for itself (which saved us money!). Highly recommend working with The Willow Ballroom for not only weddings, events, reunions, the list goes on, it really can do it all!

Welcome to the Lighthouse - a serene waterfront oasis and event property for weddings, special celebrations, corporate events, and more. Nestled in Glen Cove among rolling hills and a majestic waterfront—this historic building, originally built in 1910 and moved from another location, is rich in local history and has been renovated to include a combination of modern-day conveniences and historic charm. Your Celebration Awaits at The Lighthouse at Glen Cove Marina. A one-of-a-kind destination for once-in-a-lifetime affairs. Please note: The Lighthouse is not an all-inclusive venue. As such, clients must hire licensed and insured vendors, including food and beverage, for their Lighthouse event. Please refer to the Preferred Partners page on our website for a list of pre-approved vendors to choose from. The Lighthouse proudly serves and celebrates all races, ethnicities, orientations, identities, and religions.

Both my wife and I are from bay areas so it was important to get married by the water. I can’t stress enough how beautiful this venue is. It’s pretty much all inclusive, you can bring your own booze, vendors and decorations. It includes a stay in their fabulous inn which is 4 bedrooms. Our whole bridal party stayed and it was the best experience. We decided to book the night before too. You can even take pictures on the Marina docks right next to the property (for a small fee). The place itself is so dreamy, we used one lawn for our ceremony and one for lawn games and our cocktail tables. Watching the sunset from the reception space and the sparkly lights on both lawns was just sooo gorgeous. Now for the team, they went ABOVE and BEYOND to accommodate our requests and answer all my hundred questions and they were so flexible with us when we had to postpone for Covid twice. We are incredibly grateful for the team. They shared all their tips and tricks and made our wedding perfect. The coordination between the wedding venue and our planner was flawless. And best part was the seamless delivery of our late night snack, hot pretzels! And the space perfect accommodated a photo booth which everyone loved. We finally got married in September 2023! I highly recommend as a wedding venue 10/10.

Hands down the most amazing venue. Not only that but the owners Greg & Laurie were so easy to work with. Very responsive. Very helpful. They were there when we needed them. The venue is so serene and peaceful. Makes for EPIC wedding photos. We couldn’t have had a more perfect experience.
