As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the joy of working at Magari Estate several times, and it’s truly one of my favorite venues in Northern California. Every single time I photogra...
ph here, I’m reminded why it stands out above the rest.
The property is a dream to shoot, with rolling golden hills, gorgeous landscapes, and that signature California light filtering through the oak trees. Every corner of the estate feels intentionally designed for the guest experience. From the beautiful ceremony area nestled beneath the oaks to the open-air reception space, charming barn, and the unique circular bar that always becomes a guest favorite, there are endless backdrops that make each wedding feel unique.
Beyond the scenery, what truly sets Magari Estate apart is Shelly and her incredible team. Shelly is one of the kindest, most organized, and genuinely supportive venue owners I’ve ever worked with. She goes above and beyond to ensure her couples and vendors feel cared for from start to finish. Communication is always smooth, timelines are thoughtfully managed, and there’s such a calm, welcoming energy that flows through every event.
If you’re a couple searching for a breathtaking Northern California venue or a vendor hoping to work alongside wonderful people in a truly photogenic location, Magari Estate is an absolute gem. Five stars all the way.

Magari Estate is truly a gem in the world of wedding venues, and much of its magic is thanks to the incredible leadership and attention to detail of its wedding coordinator. In my ...
years in the event industry, I have rarely encountered someone as dedicated, organized, and genuinely invested in their clients’ happiness as she is. From the very first interaction to the final moments of the event, she goes above and beyond to ensure that every single detail is thoughtfully planned and flawlessly executed.
The venue itself is immaculate—beautifully manicured grounds, elegant indoor spaces, and a picturesque setting that makes for stunning photos and unforgettable memories. It’s clear that a tremendous amount of care goes into maintaining every corner of the property, and it shows in the lush gardens, pristine walkways, and inviting ambiance throughout.
When Magari Estate says “all-inclusive,” they truly mean it. Every aspect of the wedding experience is covered, from catering and entertainment to décor and coordination. Couples can relax and actually enjoy their special day, knowing that everything has been thoughtfully arranged and nothing is left to chance. The packages are comprehensive, customizable, and designed to take the stress out of wedding planning.
What really sets Magari Estate apart, though, is the staff. Every team member is warm, welcoming, and genuinely dedicated to making each event a success. They are attentive, responsive, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure guests and clients feel cared for. The atmosphere is one of professionalism and hospitality, and it’s clear that everyone takes great pride in their work.
In short, Magari Estate and its coordinator set the standard for excellence in the wedding industry. If you’re looking for a breathtaking venue, a seamless planning process, and a team that treats you like family, this is the place to be. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
