From the reviews
My husband and I recently had our one-year wedding anniversary at The Inn at the Benicia Bay. It was a party of 60 people. We booked the courtyard side for our venue and reserved all seven hotel rooms for our guests. The experience was wonderful from start to finish. The entire team at the Inn was exceptional.
The area is beautiful and Tracee and Dennis are so welcoming that you will feel like family! The Italian bistro is so authentic and the coffee is absolutely perfect. I love the style of the themed rooms, lofted ceilings, hand-crafted soap, and sunny patios everywhere.
My husband and I stayed at this inn for 2 nights and loved it! Tracee is very inviting and helpful! It felt like we had known each other and were right at home! We were running late but she was gracious enough to wait for us.
We recently stayed 3 nights at the Inn at Benicia Bay and couldn't have been more delighted. From the graciousness and friendliness of the staff to the amazing spacious room with a Jacuzzi tub everything was wonderful.
Getting married at The Inn at Benicia Bay
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
