YOUR Beautiful Wedding Venues Near Modesto & Turlock, California

Your wedding is one of the most important events in your life and where you have your ceremony and reception is one of the most important decisions you’ll make regarding your wedding.

A winery, a beach, a vineyard, a ballroom, a Victorian home, or ? Weddings are done everywhere now with wineries and vineyards being the most popular.

In this article I’ll mention a few reception venues near Modesto and Turlock, California. Ceremonies are sometimes done at the same site as the reception; often the ceremony will be held outdoors at a site, then move (but on the same property) so the reception is done inside. Many ceremonies are still done in churches and the receptions are being held just about anywhere.

First, is the Reata which is actually located in the historic downtown area of Oakdale about 15 miles northeast of Modesto, near the Stanislaus River. (Oakdale is also the site of the Hershey Chocolate Factory) The Reata is a wonderful wedding venue. In fact, I was at the Modesto Bridal Show earlier this month, and many of the local brides had already booked this site for their wedding. Their full service banquet facility is the ideal setting from bridal showers and rehearsal dinners to grand weddings, receptions. They can accommodate indoor seating for up to 300 guests and offer a variety of extraordinary menus fashioned specifically for them. Their newest wedding venue is their spectacular Garden that combines old world charm with lush landscaping and includes a stage to dramatically highlight your on-site wedding ceremonies or to accommodate larger outdoor events. The Reata’s dining room is unique, reflecting the charming character of the spacious classic red old brick building with its high ceilings and tall windows, yet featureing numerous elegant details found in the iron chandeliers, decorative lighting and rustically adorned mirrored bar area.
