Well Tina, what do I say? You made my day the one I had planned since I started tearing out Martha Stewart Weddings pages, and earmarking all my magazines. When I knew I was getting married I scoured the Nor Cal area for the "perfect" venue. I happened upon the link to Bear Flag, just by typing in Sacramento wedding venue. And as it turned out Tina had just started placing the venue on Google to drum up business. I remember visiting the site on a cloudy April day with my fiancé and parents, and even then, with no leaves on the trees, no lavender in sight, and only our imaginations to work with- this was THE place. My mind started working in overdrive, the wedding planner was chosen, the date fixed, the photographer and band booked.
And the best part was we were the INAUGURAL wedding at Bear Flag, the very FIRST one, EVER! How cool is that? Being the first I didn't get to look at photos of the amazing events held there since, so we created the space from scratch. Using Tina's imagination and experience we were able to have the most beautiful and perfect day ever.
It was the first Saturday in June, a wonderful blend of a hot early evening and cool night to dance under the stars in. I would recommend this venue to anyone. It is that place you are looking for, but don't think exists outside of the Napa Valley. The grounds are amazing, Tina is spectacular, and it is the perfect distance for anyone travelling from Sacramento or even the Bay. I love Bear Flag and it will always hold a place near and dear to our hearts, and I hope we do in theirs.
