We got engaged while staying at MacArthur Place on vacation so it was naturally on our short list of possible venues. From my first phone call with Linda, their event coordinator,...
every interaction we had with her and her staff was wonderful. Linda was quick to respond, was completely on top of things, and really went the extra mile to ensure that we were going to have the wedding we wanted. She was a dream to work with every step of the way.
The hotel itself was perfect for our needs. Everything about the place is beautiful and inviting. The different gardens that cover the grounds provided our photographer with a variety of different backdrops to use when taking pictures. The Veranda Garden is the perfect spot for an outdoor ceremony. We used one of the private rooms off of their restaurant for the reception, so it was just a two minute stroll from the ceremony to dinner. All of our guests raved about the food (I've never had a Chicken Marsala as good as the one they served that night). And the staff was very friendly and attentive.
As for the cost, it wasn't cheap, but it was a lot cheaper than the other venues that we looked at in the Sonoma area. Part of it is that they are equipped to do the catering and set up themselves, so you don't have to bother with renting chairs and tables or dealing with separate catering fees. We feel that the experience we had was well worth the price.
A wedding is a very personal thing. We all have our own hopes and dreams that we bring with us to that day. For us, MacArthur Place was the absolute right - or dare I say perfect - venue. We can't wait to go back next year to celebrate our anniversary.
If i could give zero stars i would. Attention all brides & anyone wanting to do any event here. DONT!! Do not even think about holding anything here let alone a wedding. I can’t ev...
en begin to explain the awful experience i had from the day i signed the contract all the way up to the day before my wedding. Not only was there next to no communication, they are shiesty, and snuck so many hidden fees in there. Angie was absolutely terrible. Sidney was absolutely terrible. They both lied and made promises they then didn’t keep. Then Angie leaves and no one reaches out to us. I had to call the hotel front desk to find out she was no longer there. Mind you, this is happening a month before my wedding after we had been emailing and calling. They couldn’t get our BEO right. They were charging us for stuff we never picked. They have the wrong food as what they were claiming our choices. Thank the lord we hired detailed dreams for our wedding planning because if it wasn’t for Kayla and her team they would have bled us dry. Two days before my wedding & they FINALLY got the BEO correct. And now are demanding payment on the spot. They want 20 thousand dollars just like that after months and months of terrible communication, getting things wrong. Telling me that there’s no rooms with two beds left & my guests can get a roll out cot to sleep on. I have every single email from Angie & Sidney to show what a fucking mess this place is. And unfortunately I’m not the only one this has happened too. Take your money literally anywhere else.
Communication is lacking if there is any communication at all.
We had our rehearsal dinner and welcome party at MacArthur Place. Their service was exceptional. The property is beautiful as well.
