Why You'll Love This Place

A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
  • Originally built in 1934 as a beet sugar refining factory, this storied complex now plays host to fourteen unique wineries—and truly spectacular weddings. Massive red brick structures form the backdrop to every event here, whether you host your celebration under the stars on the Plaza Lawn, in the light-flooded Gallery, or the intimate Barrel Room.
  • The Boiler Room, a favorite for grand receptions, offers industrial elegance at its most dramatic. During the day, light streams through three stories of multipaned windows, illuminating the exposed iron beams and original brick walls; when the sun sets, the tall ceilings seem to disappear as twinkle lights illuminate overhead, creating a magical "starry night" effect.
  • Each of the three rental packages include the assistance of their exceptional coordinators, meaning you can focus on the important stuff, like choosing your wines (a tasting experience is included, too!). Plus, the Mill's location just 15 minutes from downtown Sacramento is convenient for both local and out-of-town guests.

COUPLES ARE ASKING: We've got answers

What's included when we book Old Sugar Mill, and what will we still need to pay for separately?

You'll also have 200 natural wood padded chairs, 20 66-inch round tables, a custom bar with glassware, two wine barrel bars, event signage, and two fire pits with eight Adirondack chairs. Linens, venue coordination and complimentary parking are covered too.

Can we have both our ceremony and reception at Old Sugar Mill, or will guests need to travel between them?

Yes, Old Sugar Mill is an indoor-outdoor venue, so your whole day happens in one place. You can say your vows in The Grove, beside the vineyards under a rustic iron arbor, or in the Barrel Room surrounded by wine barrels. For the reception, the Boiler Room is the largest indoor space, with soaring ceilings, brick walls and three stories of windows, while the Plaza Lawn is the largest outdoor space, framed by the mill's red brick buildings.

If we already have vendors we love, can we bring them to Old Sugar Mill or do we have to use yours?

Yes, you bring your own caterer to Old Sugar Mill, so the menu is completely up to you. Drinks come from the on-site wineries and approved beverage partners, which means your bar can showcase wines made right on the property. Still building your team? The events team helps with vendor selection and works with local partner vendors, and it can help with rehearsal dinners, guest lodging and decor, too.

What should we realistically expect to spend on a wedding at Old Sugar Mill, and is there a minimum?

That covers 6 hours of venue time plus 2 hours for setup and 1 hour for breakdown, the Wedding Suite, tables, chairs and linens, an arch, a wine barrel table, bar and fire pit upgrades, venue coordination and complimentary parking. Since you bring your own caterer, your food budget is in your hands, and drinks come from the on-site wineries and approved beverage partners. Your date, season and space choice will move the rental fee most.

How long do we get at Old Sugar Mill, and when does the music have to stop?

What makes Old Sugar Mill different from the other venues near it?

Old Sugar Mill is a historic 1934 beet sugar refinery that's now home to a collection of wineries, about 15 minutes from downtown Sacramento. You bring your own caterer, and your drinks come from the wineries right on site. The red brick buildings give you indoor and outdoor spaces on one property, from the Boiler Room with exposed iron beams and three stories of windows to The Grove beside the vineyards, and the property hosts events of 300 guests and more. It's a great fit if you love industrial character with wine country views.
