Union Hill Inn

This was a cute place. I came up in June for a friend's wedding, and the venue was pretty great for a wedding. California had that insane heat wave then, so it reached 100+ degrees that day. Despite that, the fans inside the chapel did an ok job keeping people cool. Since I'm only about two, two and a half hours away from Sonora, I chose to go home after the wedding and reception, so I can't speak to the accommodations here. Keep in mind that if you're coming here for a wedding, the closest food options in Downtown Sonora are 15-20 minutes away by car, and these roads are winding and hilly, so keep that in mind.

Photographed a wedding here last year and everything was beautiful! The chapel was decorated and amazing for photos. They let us come back in later that evening and lit all the candles for us.. loved the whole experience!-Danielle Bennink Photography

Union Hill's chapel is both intimate and romantic. The event planner, Jennifer, and her staff pay attention to every detail to make your day perfect. Their grounds are a beautiful oasis, with perfect accommodations for the wedding party and special vignettes to appeal to every guest. If you're looking for a "one stop shop" in the gold country, THIS IS THE ONE!!

Been here as a vendor a few times. Fairly easy set up, very cozy, staff accommodating. Note: you will get a little dirty. But that's alright. The reception is solid and there are multiple locations for the ceremony. It's very fun and spread out. I recommend to clients looking for a location in this area.

My best friend just got married here this past weekend and we were invited to stay the weekend. This place is BEAUTIFUL and MAGICAL!!! I stayed in the willow room and it was so cozy cute and vintage, also included a jacuzzi tub room for 2. The people who cook/serve breakfast do a phenomenal job. There is tons to do and explore. Cruising around the beautiful property on the golf cart was fun. The Ambiance is perfect for a wedding

This venue is beautiful for a wedding. The one challenge is that there are hills and the parking is on gravel which is difficult to walk on in heals. There are golf carts to take people up and down which is a must.

Shabby chic. It's like Pottery Barn meets Sonora, in the HARDEST to find location ever. Balloons and sign be damned, we still couldn't find this little place. After 30 minutes of driving the same loop and scary road, and one conversation with a robe clad lady feeding her horses, we found our way...iPhone was no help.Ladies, those heels and wedges you packed, leave them where they are. Bring a cute pair of flip flops and feel defeated. This lovely little location is on a hill. I'm not messing around, a real life hill.We were here for two occasions. The pre-wedding BBQ and the wedding. The surrounding was very peaceful and earthy. From the looks of both occasions, the facility doesn't do that much. My lovely cousin (and her now hubby) seemed to have prepped tons of stuff on their own - the entire BBQ for example. Unless the staff was undercover family, I didn't see them once that afternoon/evening.The chapel is gorgeous. Perfect setting for a low-key wedding. Not a lot of seating, but they arrange outdoor viewing as well. After Friday night, I had no idea what to expect, but it was so serene. Candles in mason jars, twigs twisted in pretty ways, and a old barn feeling, but clean and no cob webs.There is a vast amount of property, which the happy couple used generously. We had appetizers and drinks in a little veranda area. We sat at picnic style table and chairs and enjoyed said drinks and treats. Right next to that was another little gazebo, which they used as the photo booth section. Then up the hill was the reception hall. Plain, and maybe drab from the outside, but inside it was beautifully decorated just like the cute little chapel.I don't recall ever really seeing any of the staff working, with the exception of the wedding planner lady and the three or four catering staff who were manning the buffet lines. So I'm not sure if this was a problem for the happy couple, but it didn't really have any effect on myself?!?From a person watching the union of two people, this place was great. Besides the fact that Google Maps and a family of four could barely find it. Once you do, you're golden!Seeing a happy couple get married is always special, but surrounded by a pottery barn catalogue makes it that much more beautiful!

Nice place, beautiful scenery hiding a venue that is in desperate need of repairs. Barbara, the lady who coordinates weddings and such is a real pain in the butt to work with. She expects everyone to do whatever she says wether she paid you for it or not. If you're not willing to kiss her ass then you get removed from the vendor list. I couldn't care less because I'll never deal with this place again. She may be gracious to the guests but vendors, not at all and most of them are too afraid to tell her no for fear of being blacklisted.

I went here for a wedding just a few weeks ago and what an amazing and beautiful venue! It has a rustic barn type feel which if that is what you are looking for then this is the place for you! It was breathtaking and the wedding itself was beautiful. It is a little hot during August but that didn't take away from the beauty of the venue at all.Outside of the barn there is a area for dancing and there is a pond with tons of Lilly pads and a deck that goes right into the middle of it. There were lots of pretty lights and then up the hill is another area where the dinner was and it was also just as amazing! If you are looking for a rustic kind of barn/church look then I highly recommend checking this place out!

My son got married here 9 years ago. And the venue was beautiful. Just had a family get married just recently & was amazed on how unreasonable the owners were with my friend . Complained about everything. They did not give there refund back due to made up accusations. Said they used an outside kitchen. We were not even outside. This venue is beautiful, but it's not accommodating. There is so much work. They require a Wedding Planner. But not a cleaning crew. Save your money and headache & find a venue that honors and works with their clients. Customer service is terrible. Why spend $$$ so much & deserve terrible service? Would NOT RECOMMEND THIS VENUE!
