What Makes a True Wedding Venue Buyout in California?
C
alifornia offers some of the most stunning wedding venue buyouts in the country, from Napa Valley wine estates to Malibu beachfront properties. When you book a WedStay property, you're not just renting a venue - you're securing exclusive use of an entire estate for your wedding weekend.
Our California properties range from intimate 20-guest retreats to grand 200-guest estates. Each one includes all bedrooms, bathrooms, common areas, and outdoor spaces exclusively for you and your guests. This means no awkward encounters with strangers, no competing events, and complete privacy for your celebration.
With prices starting at $8,000 for a weekend buyout, WedStay properties offer incredible value compared to traditional venues where you'd pay separately for the venue, guest accommodations, and often face time restrictions. Here, the entire estate is yours from Friday afternoon through Sunday morning.
