Let’s dive into Tri-Valley - Livermore wedding venues and their unique differentiations in booking considerations from other California wedding venues.

The Tri-Valley of East Bay, in the San Francisco Bay Area, is further inland than the East Bay: Bayfront.  The communities of Livermore, Tracy, Brentwood, Discovery Bay and Pleasanton are key areas to hunt out wedding ceremony and receptions sites that match your vision.  

May, September, and October are the peak season for planning weddings in the Tri-Valley.  The spring and fall have more comfortable temperatures for outdoor weddings.  

The summer has the possibility (or maybe likelihood these days?) for some triple digit heat, so an outdoor wedding reception should include a plan to keep your guests comfortable with fans, shade structures or be moved indoors.  

The low season is in the winter months of January and February due to wet weather possibilities.  

Tri-Valley has a real style emphasis towards country, rustic and country-glam Delta Diamond Farm in Isleton and Brownstone Gardens in Oakley fit the bill.   

But if you’re craving an outdoor wedding venue that has a more classic or traditional feel, the East Bay has gorgeous golf courses and wineries like The Club at Los Meganos, Belle Vie Vineyard on Sherman Island or Brentwood Rise in Brentwood that will fit your vision.  

 Once you’ve narrowed down where you want to be married, be sure to read our Step By Step Guide to Picking the Perfect Wedding Venue  to help you focus and narrow down your wedding venue search.  It also includes an extremely helpful Venue Question Guide to bring along when you start touring wedding sites.  

Once you have your perfect wedding venue secured, you can start booking the rest of the wedding professionals you’ll need for a dream wedding.  How much time you have before your date will determine the timeframe for when you need to book whom.

For a good guide on what other wedding vendors to book and when to book them, just add your wedding date and location on Event Hollow and it will automatically recommend by date when each service should be booked.   

Key Considerations:

High season: May, Sept.-Oct.,  (most busy and requested dates)

Low season: Jan-Feb

Things to keep in mind: The height of summer is consistently very hot and makes outdoor weddings potentially uncomfortable. Indoor weddings are a good alternative during the hot months. 

Trends for the area: Wineries and golf courses are the most popular venues that do really nice weddings in this area.

Congrats and have fun planning!
