The Lighthouse

The Lighthouse is an amazing location for any event , but this was the perfect event space for our wedding . I cannot stress enough how great of an experience the planning process and day of was for my husband and I. The beautiful location and event space created a magical backdrop for all of our guests. Many of whom commented on how they loved the location with unbeatable views. Throughout the planning process , we worked with Maggie and her attention to detail and bright personality made the process fun and exciting. Maggie was always reachable by email, text, and call. She and Alma were there the day of the wedding to make sure everything went as planned . Working with them was so easy and they truly made our day even more special. We had a Thursday wedding and the accommodations to the upstairs living space was a perfect photo op spot for the "getting ready" photos , but also allowed our small family to have an intimate dinner the night before to mentally prepare. We found such marvelous vendors on their preferred list. And could not have been happier with the services provided. All that being said, I highly recommend working with the lighthouse to create a highly personalized experience for you and your guests for your next upcoming occasion.

"There is a light that shines special for you and me..." - The Light by Common~ THE AMBIANCE ~Are we in the Bay or are we in Hawaii? Newport Beach? Is this even Vallejo?Karlo and I toured two other venues before visiting the Lighthouse well over a year ago and immediately fell in love with the lush greenery, the palm trees, and the view overlooking the water. The Lighthouse felt like a destination even though it's in the Bay Area. It truly is a hidden gem and we got a lot of questions from our guests as to how we found this place.As a kid, I would often go to Suisun for the weekends with my Lola (Grandma) to visit family. The Carquinez bridge was pretty much the halfway point to getting home or to my Aunt's place - Crossing the Bridge and seeing the C&H Sugar factory served as a marker and indicator for me that I was almost home or almost there. At the venue, there is a pathway that leads to a lookout point where you'll see both the bridge and the sugar factory, and it was then we knew that we were going to get married here. ~ THE VENUE ~ The venue has two lawn areas which naturally lend themselves to a ceremony or cocktail hour space. It's absolutely beautiful. We had our ceremony on the East Lawn (smaller lawn area to the left when facing the Lighthouse from the parking lot). It has a downward slope which made for an amphitheater like setting. We used the green palms as a backdrop for our ceremony and to be honest - it's beautiful as is even without decor.The bigger lawn area is where we had our Cocktail hour and it was the perfect setting and large enough to host 92 guests. We wanted an all in one space where we could have the ceremony and reception at one place, and the Lighthouse offered that. The indoor banquet hall fit our guest count and the windows all around gave a spectacular view to the marina and the sun set. The only downside is the four pillars that hold up the Lighthouse as it does block the view in certain angles especially when my husband and I had our first dance; however, guests got out of their seats to have a closer look.The kitchen also isn't a full kitchen so be aware of this. There's no stove to cook on or to keep food warm, and there is no ice machine. This one didn't really affect us as we had paella catered and everything was done outside on the paella pans and burners.The biggest selling point is the inn upstairs which accommodates up to 8 guests. Our brothers have younger children and we knew that this would be most convenient for them as the kids nap/are in need of a diaper change/need an area to pump. We had two guests who needed to pump and it was nice to be able to offer a comfortable place for them to do so in privacy without having to take up a bathroom stall in the hall. The inn is well equipped, the beds were comfortable, and the decor is tasteful and we loved how history was incorporated in the small touches. It really made for beautiful getting ready photos and was such a pleasure to wake up to a view like that. ~ THE PEOPLE ~As if the venue is not enough, the people behind the Lighthouse are truly the heart of it all. Crystal, Maggie and Alma like a what lighthouse does, guided us throughout the planning process, checked-in and made sure we were okay throughout the evening. They were so kind through it all and even made sure that my elderly parents were comfortable as mobility is an issue. We booked our vendors based on two things: kindness & connection, and we will never take for granted the hospitality they have offered us both leading up to our Wedding day and on the day-of. Thank you for everything!All in all, if you're looking for a one-of-a-kind, intimate venue, the Lighthouse is it. My husband and I are already looking forward to planning another event here in the near future!

Lovely space for a wedding. Food was delicious and the employees were friendly and helpful.

I will forever call this "The hidden gem" of Vallejo. We had our wedding here August 31. The weather was a perfect 78 degrees with clear skies followed by then evening cool down with a slight breeze! We actually live down the street and come down often to mosey with our pets so it was a no brainer where to get hitched! The venue is well kept and absolutely stunning at all hours of the day. The staff was incredibly helpful and easy to work with! They basically held my hand through every detail. Crystal and Maggie are a dream team! For all the questions I didn't have answers to, they helped guide me to resolving. The timeline was nailed down and flowing only because of the staff. They managed all my vendors so I didn't have to and even gently repacked all my decor items at the end of the night. They assisted in placement of tables and chairs, even saw Crystal setting up our head table sitting in our seats to make sure they lined up to see all our guest at the dining tables, talk about attention to detail! Did I mention how literally every place you stand in that venue is a photographers dream? Because it is! The lush gardens, views of the bridge right on the water, the little vineyard off to the side, the staircases, even from a distance, it's easily the most photogenic space I've ever been in. Perfect for events for sure! The Inn upstairs was spectacular and immaculate. It was a wonderful place to get ready with friends and family. And it's a place we can stay the night on our anniversary for years to come, how cool is that!!? All in all I say 10/10 on every single thing. I highly recommend the Lighthouse! Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart for all your hard work. We appreciate you!

Wow. I stumbled upon this venue back in fall of 2019 from a friend on FB. Took one visit and immediately made my deposit to secure our wedding venue for the following year. Love at first sight!The pandemic happened and we postponed our Nov 2020 wedding to June 2021 and man..as much as I really wanted a November wedding, postponing was the best decision we could've made.Our wedding was the first wedding ( post pandemic) and this venue and let me tell you, the staff was wonderful in making sure they always responded back in a timely matter answering/addressing all our questions. I worked with Maggie a lot and she was wonderful. Also with Joelle for rehearsal and wedding day and she was also wonderful.This venue truly is a hidden gem in the Bay Area. We wanted a tropical/hawaii vibe here in the Bay where we could celebrate with all our loved ones and we got more than what we expected. The weather was beautiful and highlighted the entire venue even more. We had access to the entire property. Ceremony on east lawn, reception on west lawn and buffet, photobooth, sweets table and bar in banquet room. Aside from that, we also stayed upstairs in the inn and just WOW. Beautiful rental property above the venue. 2 stories, 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths,Kitchen, dining area and living room. BEAUTIFUL.If you're looking for the vibe we were going for, look no further. You won't find a venue like this in this area, period. I know because I tried. Will absolutely do more events here in future.

This is an absolutely gorgeous venue. I've been lucky enough to go there on multiple occasions and each time I have a great time. The staff there is always welcoming and friendly to me - making me feel like family. The lawns are well maintained and well shaded, but on occasion when it's really hot and I've been there the inside (where dancing takes place) is air conditioned and clean. The place is well maintained and I really love having opportunities to visit it. Hoping to be there again soon in the near future!

The Beautiful hidden gem of Vallejo!The Light House is magical with so much history, its quaint and personal with so much charm! I have so many favorites about this place but my favorite of all, is the perfect Lighting and perfect plants & greenery the beautiful photos that you can get from the Lighthouse property is outstanding, not only have I done a photoshoot here but I've actually had my small wedding here as well and my family and friends just fell in love with the LightHouse! you really can't get any better then this in the area.

Super late review (we were waiting for our wedding photos), but we got married on July 30th at the lighthouse and it was AMAZING! The venue is so gorgeous that we bought budget friendly flowers and no other real wedding decor and it was still so beautiful! The venue staff were super helpful from our initial zoom call, to days after the wedding. I definitely want to give a shout-out to Joelle for all her help!! She answered all our questions via email, put any stress we had on our wedding day at ease, and helped us retrieve glasses left behind by a bridesmaid! We hired a day-of-coordinator with very little experience, and looking back, we wished we asked Joelle instead!!Finally, we wanted to mention that our wedding had about 110 guest and I think that was the perfect amount for enough seating, a welcome table, buffet table, dessert table, DJ booth, bar, and a big dance floor inside the venue. We could have added an additional table for another 10 guests, without losing our dance floor, but it would have been in the back corner by our bar which wouldn't be the greatest seating in terms of head table or dance floor views.We wanted to thank Joelle and the lighthouse for allowing us to have our dream wedding and being part of our #JourneyToJohnson!

The Lighthouse at Glen Cove Marina was the absolute perfect venue for our Daughter's November Wedding. From start to finish; booking, planning through the day of, Crystal, Maggie and Alma were the dream team! Though the couple chose to have a church wedding, Crystal worked with us and all vendors on the timeline and kept the reception moving along and the guests feeling welcome and happy. Fortunately, with beautiful weather the cocktail hour was held outdoors as planned, Crystal did have a contingency plan just in case, which eased any stress we would have had. Guests were amazed at the beauty of the property and convenient location and a few stated they look forward to hosting an event here! Our daughter and her new husband couldn't be happier with their most perfect day. Thank you Lighthouse staff!

We absolutely love the Lighthouse and their team! My husband and I had a small wedding in March and were looking for the perfect venue to hold our wedding reception this August. We viewed several venues, and upon meeting Maggie at the Lighthouse and touring the property, we immediately felt that our vision was in good hands. Maggie guided us early on and made us feel confident in bringing what we envisioned to life. Not only was the Lighthouse local for our families, but it had everything we could have asked for and more. You name it: vineyard, palm trees, boats, outdoor areas, indoor areas, roses, and much more. There was a place for everyone to enjoy: a dance floor, outdoor lawns and indoor spaces. We ended up having the most beautiful and stress-free day at this venue. It was so beautiful on its own that it required minimal decor. But the additional decor and activities provided by our coordinator Crystal were the perfect supplement to the already incredible venue. Crystal made us feel heard and like she knew exactly what we wanted and how to bring it to life. The Lighthouse Team was incredible and made planning so easy. The recommended vendors were all amazing and made the day run so smoothly. The coordination provided by the Lighthouse team, especially Crystal + Maggie, made our day completely stress free. They went above and beyond for us and we could not be more grateful. As we were already married, we went into this day expecting a low pressure, fun celebration with our family and friends. But there was something about having the opportunity to celebrate with all of our friends and family and feel all their love that made us feel more married than we did after our small ceremony in March. We left more in love with each other and with more love for all those who celebrated with us. And we truly truly would not have been able to experience that and have such a perfect day at the perfect venue without the support of the amazing staff at The Lighthouse. We are so grateful to everyone there, Crystal, Maggie, Alma, and all the Lighthouse team. If we could give them more than 5 stars, we would. We will definitely seek out the Lighthouse for any future events we may have. :)
