Venues & Event Spaces near Newcastle, CA

“Sorry Matt and Jessica, I meant to post this awhile back.

Newcastle Gardens was absolutely amazing. My daughter had a lovely wedding there in late November and it went extremely well. Maggie, our wedding coordinator was excellent, very professional. She kept everything running very smoothly, almost exactly down to the minute. She was super helpful when the bride had a pre-reception mishap. She also kept the bride's drink full all night and helped out wherever needed. I don't know how she did it. I have to say she seemed hyperaware of the goings on around her and was really on top of things. I highly recommend her.

The ceremony area was very nice. The huge oak tree really added to the setting. The reception area, called the barn, was perfect for the number of people we had (about 100). Plenty of room for us. I think they can accommodate around 130, but discuss your needs with them. The barn can be opened to expand the space to the outdoors. It was open during the appetizer hour, but closed during dinner since it was a little chilly that evening. Jessica really made the space beautiful with her flower arranging and decorating skills.

We had the rehearsal dinner here as well. The food... Man, the food was SUPERB! The rehearsal dinner we had was a Mexican buffet. Every. Single. Dish. DELICIOUS! Of course I snuck up for seconds. I had to! Dessert was churros served with chocolate sauce. Snagged a few of those too. Everyone loved the meal. Additionally, the reception dinner was magnificent! Again everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, raved about the food. Matt, the chef, is a magician! Side note, my daughter made the cake (strictly for the couple). She also made half a dozen other desserts. Matt was so complimentary to her skills and variety. Said it was nice to see something different for a change.

If you have the chance, find out when their open house is and do yourself a favor and go. There were tons of samples so you can get get an idea of what the food is like as well as the grounds. The Mac & cheese with pulled pork was great (I had several servings during our appetizer hour) as well as everything else. Matt and Jessica were readily available to answer questions and discuss decor and menus and the like. There were a couple of other vendors there too so it was nice to talk to them for ideas even though my daughter decided to go a different route.

DJ Matt (different fellow) kept the evening hopping all night. It seemed like non-stop dancing. It was a sight to behold actually. The music was great! He really kept the energy up.

Also, shout-out to the bartenders Abe and Tori (I believe that was her name, sorry!) for keeping the drinks flowing and being very personable. You guys were amusing and fun!

All-in-all, everyone had a blast. The night could not have been more perfect. I wish we had more parties to plan just for the heck of it, I'd definitely have them here.”

“This a great place to get together and have a great time talking and throwing axes at walls. My only suggestion woukd be to get a good food truck out there so you can add food to the great selection of beers.”

“Our experience at the Chalet Event Center was top notch! The owner, Bosue, was amazing to work with and very easy to reach both before and during our event. We used one of the smaller rooms off of the large main room and it was the perfect size for our 36 guests. Once the tables were set with our linens and silverware choices, the room just radiated the 'classy party' vibe that we were going for. Our guests raved about the food and we agreed with them, once we sat down with our food. It was amazing! There were many choices to accommodate varied tastes of our guests. The staff was very well groomed and were very professional. Even the restrooms were nicely appointed. Many guests expressed that they would definitely remember this venue for their own future events. Thank you to Bosue, the chefs and the staff for making our parents' 80th birthday celebration memorable!”

“We knew this was our wedding chapel the moment we saw it! It is gorgeous and classy in every way we dreamed our wedding to be! The volunteers of the place are beautiful people as well ? Thank you for being so kind and accommodating! It really helped during the stressful wedding preparation time. We will come visit soon!”

“Had a really lovely buffet lunch here today following a celebration of life. The food was excellent and the pot roast selection was extremely tender. The chicken cordon blue also exceptional. The gentleman who was our Solarium Room host was attentive and flexible to our noisy active children. Highly recommend this venue based on our experience today.”

“Great space for small, gatherings and large gatherings. They have different rooms for each. They're organized and clean and have nice kitchens to work in the staff is always on top of everything and keeping everything in order and clean. I definitely recommend this place they don't have staff, but you can also always hire staff from unlimited helping hands.”

“Maidu has a great support group for those who have Parkinsons diseases on the 1stTueadays of the month. They also sponsors a social on the 2nd Tuesday's after the meeting. It has been beneficial to my husband to hear others challenges and stories about what they are challenged with. Come and join us. It is very enlightening

“I attended a fundraiser there for kids first. A wonderful organization in the placer community. Everything at the venue was lovely. The people the service, the food all really wonderful.”

“Had a great time doing two rooms ('The Lab' and 'Bitten') with a group of friends. 'The Lab' was good fun and we were able to move that one fairly quickly. 'Bitten' proved to be far more challenging. Staff was friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend for groups of folks who enjoy games/puzzles/mysteries.”

“Went for a friend's wedding. The venue looked fabulous with all the setup. The outdoor seating for the ring ceremony was gorgeous. Nice, quiet, getaway-type setting.”

“Monte Verde Inn does a phenomenal job of creating a sense of elegance, natural beauty and care for couples looking to celebrate their wedding in the NorCal foothills.

I recently photographed and filmed a wedding at Monte Verde on a spring day where all the foliage on the property was alive with lush, green color. Even the tree-lined driveway offers a beautiful approach to the front of the inn, complete with a fountain bubbling away near the front steps. The tall trees of the ceremony space gave the feeling of getting married in the woods, while also keeping everyone shaded. The back side of the property features a barn for rustic photos that feel so very far away from city life. And when the sun sinks low, the rows of grapevines offer the perfect place for newlywed portraits.

This venue seemed like a perfect choice for medium-sized guestlists, with plenty of room for guests to be seated outdoors or mingle near the outdoor bar. And even that open space is fairly well protected from that Northern California sun.

Don't overlook Monte Verde Inn if you're looking for an outdoor venue that's brimming with style and foothill charm.”

“Located in the Sierra foothills of Auburn, The Ridge Golf Course offers a superior golfing experience. This 18-hole championship course combines natural beauty with rigorous play. The Ridge Golf Course boasts a par-71 layout that spans 6,734 yards, incorporating a variety of terrains. This course is the most challenging course in Placer County and still manages to be very enjoyable. Imagine well-manicured fairways, playable bunkers, plenty of trees for shade, nice tee boxes and smooth greens. The golf carts are equipped with GPS with a layout of holes with accurate calculated distances. I would recommend a beverage cart, due to the lack of drinking water on the course. This would be a great date activity. Start off by warming up at the driving range with a bucket of balls. If the date is going well, play 9 holes while getting to know each other better.

“What a fun event! Meleya provides a variety of supplies and simply explains the directions so I did not feel at all intimidated and my succulent pumpkin looked great. I will be back for another class.”

“I have been coming to AMF in Rocklin for several years and Mike is my favorite bartender hands down. He always takes care of us and has the best attitude and customer service. Wednesday and Thursdays are the best because those are the days he works. Basically he’s the only reason I go to AMF in Rocklin. But… the ranch sucks!”

“Nice local gallery with a variety of artists.
Curator has extensive knowledge and is very helpful. In addition, the gallery offers some classes downstairs in their shop.”

“Omg- the veggie omelet is the best I've had at this level hotel! It's so good!
The rooms are big and clean, but a bit outdated.
The service staff are excellent- they are friendly and helpful.”

“Was the wedding coordinator for a smaller wedding and was absolutely beautiful. The grounds are amazing, the house and rooms are very nice. Would definitely recommend this venue.”

“Just left a two day stay at this hotel and it was excellent! We came with a large group of teens for a nearby conference and the staff was polite, helpful and friendly. We have stayed at other local hotels and this one stood above the rest and was also very affordable. It was excellent. Angelina and her team were so accommodating and kind.”

“It’s an older hotel but nice. The gym is pretty good. The DB’s go up to 75 lbs.

The breakfast burrito is legit. Can make that 2 meals if you split it.

The steak was decent and the potatoes and vegetables were really good!”
