The Lighthouse at Glen Cove Marina - Event venue in Vallejo - 2000 Glen Cove Marina Rd, USA

Great view! It is a venue for special events, but there is a walking path open to the public and I've spent quite a bit of time sitting on the bench that looks out to the water. It will become one of my spots to sit and unwind and take in a nice breeze on the water. I have encountered a few marina people and fishermen and they have all been very friendly.

I am a professional wedding photographer and I love every single time I photograph weddings at the Lighthouse! It's such a hidden gem and really affordable taking into consideration the venue amenities. The place is definitely gorgeous for photos and it has it's own marks that makes it different than other venues in the area.

Beautiful location for our organization's dinner reception and continuing education lecture. We appreciated the attention to detail, quick communication, and stellar catering recommendation from the Lighthouse team.

I recently helped plan a business networking event on the West Lawn of The Lighthouse, and the team and I had a truly great experience. We were looking for a picturesque and spacious outdoor venue with professional staff, and this one not only fit the bill, but exceeded our expectations. The venue manager, Maggie, was terrific and kept in close touch with us every step of the planning process. Her vendor recommendations were really helpful too, because we didn't have existing relationships with catering and rental companies in the area. Thank you Maggie and team! We'll definitely be back!

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 venue 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. We lost $250 dollars of the deposit because we 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.

The Beautiful hidden gem of Vallejo! The Light House is magical with so much history, its quaint and personal with so much charm! I have so many favorites about this place but my favorite of all, is the perfect Lighting and perfect plants & greenery the beautiful photos that you can get from the Lighthouse property is outstanding, not only have I done a photoshoot here but I've actually had my small wedding here as well and my family and friends just fell in love with the LightHouse! you really can't get any better then this in the area.

Visually Spectacular! Wonderfully and fun Staff. A must see venue In Vallejo. CA

"There is a light that shines special for you and me..." - The Light by Common ~ THE AMBIANCE ~ Are we in the Bay or are we in Hawaii? Newport Beach? Is this even Vallejo? Karlo and I toured two other venues before visiting the Lighthouse well over a year ago and immediately 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. As a kid, I would often go to Suisun for the weekends with my Lola (Grandma) to visit family. The Carquinez bridge was pretty much the halfway point to getting home or to my Aunt's place – Crossing the Bridge and seeing the C&H Sugar factory served as a marker and indicator for me that I was almost home or almost there. At the venue, there is a pathway that leads to a lookout point where you'll see both the bridge and the sugar factory, and it was then we knew that we were going to get married here. ~ 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! All in all, if you're looking for a one-of-a-kind, intimate venue, the Lighthouse is it. My husband and I are already looking forward to planning another event here in the near future!
