ABOUT MISSION SAN FRANCISCO SOLANO WEDDING VENUE
Established on July 4, 1823, Mission San Francisco Solano is the northernmost and last mission on California's historical mission path. Located in the heart of Sonoma, this mission holds special significance due to its establishment during the period of Mexican control. Couples looking for a wedding location that symbolizes both cultural relevance and timeless beauty will find a unique and personal setting in its rich history and well-preserved architecture. The peaceful courtyard and adobe construction of the mission provide a beautiful background that would be perfect for a unique wedding celebration.
FACILITIES AND CAPACITY OF MISSION SAN FRANCISCO SOLANO WEDDING VENUE
Built in 1840, the Mission Chapel Museum has thick adobe walls covered in vibrant paintings and authentic Mexican colonial-style chandeliers, therefore fostering a close environment with great acoustics for live music. For ceremonies, the chapel may host up to 120 people. Beside the church lies the Mission Courtyard, an adobe-walled area surrounded by a lovely brick water fountain and olive trees. Although the courtyard presents a calm setting, it is reserved only for ceremonies; wedding celebrations are not allowed inside the Mission Chapel Museum or the Mission Courtyard. The courtyard has two stall restroom facilities; albeit they are not ADA compliant. There are electrical outlets; however, for large power use, it is preferable to carry a generator. Around Sonoma Plaza and behind the Sonoma Barracks is public parking.
