I cannot recommend The Lighthouse at Glen Cove and their amazing team enough. They are real pros at what they do and it shines through from the start of the wedding planning proces...
s all the way through to the end of the reception. Their attention to detail is above and beyond what I expected. I honestly don’t think we could have done it without them!
We had the added snafu of rain on the wedding day, and a tent rental was effortlessly provided. We found out later that Crystal had already reserved a tent for us weeks earlier in anticipation of rain in late October. They also handed umbrellas to the guests as they walked into and out of the building for dinner. A nice personal touch.
Cost-wise, the venue includes all the chairs, tables, linens, and outdoor heaters. Our package included the services of a wedding coordinator as well. Those costs, if not included, can add a significant amount to your final wedding bill. We found the venue to be a very good value, and worth every penny.
Last, the location and view is simply stunning. We were able to stay at their beautiful upstairs inn, which was included in our package. Waking up to coffee while gazing out at the Glen Cove Marina is something I could get used to 😉! The natural beauty of the place reduces the amount of decor needed too.
I highly recommend booking The Lighthouse at Gen Cove Marina for your big event!
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 wi...
th 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! We could not have picked a better venue for our May wedding! We worked with Maggie throughout the planning process and her knowledge and recommendations made the whole process...
so easy and so enjoyable. Maggie was able to point us to vendors who would work with our vision and budget for the day. The Lighthouse itself is such a beautiful venue as well and all day everyone was coming up telling us how gorgeous the views and how friendly the staff were. I cannot recommend The Lighthouse enough and cannot praise Maggie and the whole Lighthouse team enough. We had such an unbelievable day and none of would have happened without this venue and staff.
We did our wedding and reception in September 2023 at the Lighthouse. We have absolutely no regrets about the venue, the staff, the caterers. My husband and I worked with Maggie an...
d had the easiest most pleasant time working with her. She helped us through the whole process and our wedding was perfect plus everything we wanted.
Our family and friends also raved about this beautiful venue. The pictures came out amazing thanks to our photographer and all the beautiful areas throughout thee entire venue to capture our wedding.
My husband and I hands down would recommend this venue. We want to thank Maggie and the Lighthouse staff for all you did to make our wedding day so special.

Both my wife and I are from bay areas so it was important to get married by the water. I can’t stress enough how beautiful this venue is. It’s pretty much all inclusive, you can br...
ing your own booze, vendors and decorations. It includes a stay in their fabulous inn which is 4 bedrooms. Our whole bridal party stayed and it was the best experience. We decided to book the night before too. You can even take pictures on the Marina docks right next to the property (for a small fee).
The place itself is so dreamy, we used one lawn for our ceremony and one for lawn games and our cocktail tables. Watching the sunset from the reception space and the sparkly lights on both lawns was just sooo gorgeous.
Not to mention all the photo opportunities and watching your guests from the roof and the beautiful surroundings.
Now for the team, they went ABOVE and BEYOND to accommodate our requests and answer all my hundred questions and they were so flexible with us when we had to postpone for Covid twice. We finally got married in September 2023! We are incredibly grateful for the Crystal and Maggie. They shared all their tips and tricks and made our wedding perfect. The coordination between the wedding venue and our planner was flawless. And best part was the seamless delivery of our late night snack, hot pretzels! And the perfect space accommodated a photo booth which everyone loved. I highly recommend as a wedding venue 10/10.
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. :)
We looked at reviews prior to booking but it seems they all worked with Crystal and not Maggie. Please read reviews carefully!
I have planned and executed 10 weddings and this ve...
nue was, by far, the most difficult to work with. Planning a wedding takes a great deal of coordination and cooperation between the venue and the planner. This venue appeared to have a single focus and that was to make the event difficult if we used vendors that were not on their preferred list. The constant shaming because we didn't use their vendors was brought up over and over again.
Every other venue coordinator at other weddings I have done made the effort to help and assist when possible no matter who was tending bar or catering. By the way.. you will have to pay 1500 dollars extra to use your own vendor.
The venue coordinator appeared to believe her job was to tell us things would not go well if we didn't fork out the money for their preferred vendors, constantly reminding us that we would have less problems if we used vendors on the preferred list. This added a great deal more stress to the process that was not appreciated. From the beginning we let Maggie know that the bride and groom were on a tight budget, and this was a “Do it Yourself” wedding. In the beginning, before you sign, she seems so sweet and accommodating, but once your deposit is paid things change rapidly.
The venue is also not great for a party {as the dance floor is separate from the dining and the lounge area} if you don't want the dancing time split into several parties. The inside area is very segregated by walls and pillars and made many people leave the dance floor and go outside which broke the party in half.
They also have MANY restrictions. I lost $250 dollars of my deposit because I had bubbles at the ceremony. The venue coordinator Maggie was there from 10 am and the ceremony was at 3:30 the bubbles were on the welcome table at 11am. Why would they not look at the tables to make sure everything was good? Because they like taking your deposit money! They could easily have sent an email the week before reminding the couple of all 20 things on the restrictions list since the contract was read a year prior, but no, because they want your deposit money.
I have never written a bad review about any of the venues I have worked with before always 5 stars but I'm sorry this had to be done to hopefully spare you from working with this snobby restrictive venue.
Amazing, wonderful, awesome, and spectacular! Our daughter and our new son-in-law had their wedding there on 7/21/2023 and the entire experience from start to finish was wonderfu...
l! Crystal, Maggie, Alma, and the entire staff were so great to work with and so very helpful. The stress relieved off of me as the Mother of the Bride was incredible! We had wedding coordination with Maggie and Crystal as part of our package and it was worth every penny! They walked us through the entire process and made great recommendations along the way.
The venue was beautiful and required little decor on our part because it is so pretty from every angle. The Inn above the venue was so convenient and comfortable. We booked the Inn for the night before the wedding and the night of the wedding making our experience even better. My daughter and her bridal party were able to relax and get ready together in one spot.
I appreciated their preferred venue list. We used 96H Catering (96hbrand.com, Instagram @96Hbrandcatering), amazing food and service, and Strelitza Floral (Instagram @strelitziaflowerco), beautiful flowers. They also pointed us to Chloe's Sweets & Treat's (Instagram @chloes_sweetsandtreats) delicious desserts!
I recommend The Lighthouse 100%!
We had the pleasure of having our wedding at the Lighthouse at Glen Cove Marina back in April 2023. The Lighthouse was everything my husband and I could’ve imagined and much more! ...
We worked closely with Maggie throughout the whole process. From pre-wedding to the day of, Maggie was very responsive, flexible, and professional. The day of the wedding, Crystal and Maggie were on top of everything, which made the day run smoothly. Overall, we had a great experience working with The Lighthouse team and got so many compliments from our guests! Thank you again Lighthouse Team for making our day so special.

~ THE AMBIANCE ~
Are we in the Bay or are we in Hawaii? Newport Beach? Is this even Vallejo?
We imm...
ediately 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.
~ 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 ampitheater 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!
As I look at the reviews for this venue, it seems it used to be managed impeccably in the past. Unfortunately, that was not my family’s experience. My sister got married here on Se...
ptember 2nd and the manager, Maggie, made this experience extremely stressful for her. Not only on her wedding day, but the entire time leading up to her wedding as well. As the maid of honor, I firsthand witnessed how much this impacted my sister on her special day and all the days leading up to it. With that being said, I would not recommend this venue to anyone. At least not with the current management they have. The venue is very pretty and the Airbnb connected to the venue is extremely convenient, but I still do not believe it is worth the hassle and emotional distress of dealing with someone like Maggie. I am unsure if she is like this with everyone or if she just had something against our wedding party. Regardless, she was unprofessional and lacked basic customer service skills. If you’re paying for a venue like this, especially for what is suppose to be the happiest day of your life, I would assume the experience from start to finish should be nothing less than wonderful. However, You will not find that here. Also, if you are even considering using anything other than what is up to HER standards, she will say things like, “this is not a community center”. I found that very disrespectful to my family. I’m happy we no longer have to deal with her, but am upset that this will forever be a tainted memory for us about my sisters special day. It is appalling to witness an employee of such a respected venue behave in such a manner. I trust that this is not how the Lighthouse at Glen Cove conducts business and that you will take my family and I’s concerns into consideration. Hopefully you will be able to return to your previous level of excellence.
We fell in love with this venue immediately. The staff was incredible. Even though we couldn't have our wedding there (due to COVID) the staff helped me through the entire process ...
and were so helpful. In the future I cannot wait to hold an event there!
Great venue!! The staff is wonderful! Very helpful. They coordinated everything for us. They madde the day run very smoothly.
It's difficult to pinpoint exactly what makes this venue so incredibly unique, but then again that's probably why we chose them to begin with. Every single staff member was consist...
ently attentive, responsive, thoughtful, accommodating and helpful. The venue itself is breathtaking - I needed minimal decor for my event because the grounds are literally that lush and pristine. The Inn, locate above the venue was darling, expertly curated, comfortable and romantic. In fact, everything about my experience with the Lighthouse was romantic - each visit, the planning, and most especially the day of. I've seen photos of weddings at this site of 150 guests - so I was concerned because our guest list was under 70 and I wanted the space to feel full and complete. Like magic, the final outcome was as perfect as any grand event. The planning process was intuitive from beginning to end. The venue has minimal requirements as far as outside vendors - so making our wedding exactly as we wished was a breeze. We will keep this venue in mind for future events, as well as in our hearts forever!
We could not have imagined a more perfect venue for our wedding. The Lighthouse has beautiful views of the Glen Cove Marina and the landscaping is amazing! It's perfect for either ...
an indoor or outdoor reception! They were able to accommodate our wedding of 160 guests and made the entire planning process as easy as possible.
I highly recommend that you use their day of coordination services. We worked with Crystal and she had everything so well organized, it took a lot of the pressure and stress out of the day for me as the bride. She communicated with all of the vendors and really helped us bring together our vision for our special day.
The entire Lighthouse staff were so welcoming and made you feel like part of the Lighthouse family! I wish we could relive our perfect day over and over again.
It was a great venue. I love it. Working with the lighthouse staff was great, they were very friendly and helpful. I wish I would have chosen them to plan my wedding. I would have ...
given them 5 if they didn't charge a lot for things that I think should be included in the price. For example, the string light on the east lawn, they charge $500 to turn them on during the summer. During the summer it is getting dark around 7:30 or later. That means you only get to use the light for a couple of hours.
Beautiful and great venue. I had an amazing wedding.
The lighthouse is an absolute wonderful place to have any wedding or special event. It has a gorgeous view of the Bay and boats docked around with natural beauty for the eyes to se...
e. Our wedding was a success from start to finish. The staff at the lighthouse were extremely helpful and we were very grateful.
A definite plus is the fact that apart of the wedding package includes a night stay in the beautiful comfortable inn on the 2nd and 3rd floor and it will definitely make you feel at home and refreshed for the next morning. We definitely recommend The lighthouse at Glen Cove Marina. The staff was always very courteous and always willing to provide help whenever needed to make sure our wedding was a success.
We appreciate everything they assisted with making our wedding very memorable.
Wedding: June 23. I was planning my wedding from out of state and was looking to book a beautiful venue near the water and I came across The Lighthouse. I took a tour and I ended u...
p picking this as my wedding venue back in December 2016. The whole process up until the end of the wedding day was handled flawlessly and the communication was excellent. Crystal, Marie and Brittanie made it easy to let go and enjoy my wedding day. The grounds are beautiful and kept immaculate. This venue can easily hold 150 people but it was more than enough space for 115 people. You don't really need a lot of decor to make this venue stand out and there a lot of great places to take lots of pictures. The suite upstairs is very spacious and can accommodate quite a few people. Overall the experience was superb and I would not hesitant to book them again for another event.
The lighthouse was awesome!! Couldn't have picked a better venue for our wedding! it has all the element we were looking for, the location is a hidden gem! and every corner is pict...
uresque! we didn't even need to decorate as much! So many different package for the wedding, and could cater to a wide range of your needs! and there's no corkage fee for alcohol! (that's what got us to sign and book them! jk! but really! This place is great! and The ladies of lighthouse are amazing! Brittany, Crystal and Marie were all so helpful and informative all through out the process! We had such a great time! as well as all our guests!!
We were married at The Lighthouse on June 10th, 2017 and we couldn't have been happier with the location and the staff.
The venue was perfect for us because it offers both indoor ...
and outdoor spaces that we were able to use for our ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and lounge. The fact that it was right on the water and tucked into a cove makes you feel like you're on a private oasis.
