Here are a few of my favorite wedding venues in Fresno, CA:
Wonder Valley Ranch Resort
Fresno Wedding Venue
Nestled on 75 acres of woodland growth just outside of Fresno with oak and sycamore groves lay this gorgeous resort. Wonder Valley’s elevation lets guests avoid the typical valley fog and seasonal snow while keeping the views and pleasant weather. Amazing venue features include multiple wedding packages, in-house chef and staff, indoor and outdoor locations. Because of an occupancy of 350, large wedding parties are welcome.
Wedding packages include 6 hours of facility use and a wedding coordinator but also include a lot more. After your vows, hors d’oeuvres, fully catered banquet dinner and service await you and your guests before celebrating the day. Bride and groom suites and overnight accommodations for you and your partner included. Your guests can party on the provided dance floor until the evening ends. Tables and chairs, linens, napkins and flatware, and many other inclusive services are also a staple in the wedding packages. Additional services include security, rehearsal dinner space, alcohol and bartender, and a horse drawn carriage.
Rush Creek Lodge

Eloping couples also get a two night stay to honeymoon after the “I do’s”.
