About Us
Meet the Owners,
Matt and Jess
Matt and Jessica Mermod took management reigns of Newcastle Gardens in August, 2017. With a combined hospitality experience of 55 years, they were extremely excited for the opportunity to move their family of five out of the South Bay and into a smaller, closer-knit community, and to work more personally with people in the service industry. It has been their extreme pleasure to meet, accommodate, and support couples, as well as various organizations and events within the community. They look forward to making more magical memories for guests, to new friendships as a result, and to creating a prosperous future in the Placer County community and beyond.

My niece had her wedding here and it was perfect everything about it perfect place for an intimate setting loved this place would definitely recommend P.J. Oswald (Fits & Stops Photography)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wedding photographers like me are in love with venues like Newcastle Wedding Gardens. Here's why: The staff here are detail-oriented and kind, and always easy to work with despite juggling so very many details on a wedding day. I've met the owners themselves tending to the details of the day as well! The many indoor spaces offer up everything that's needed for a large wedding celebration. Both ladies and gents have rooms for getting ready before the ceremony--and the man cave even has a pool table. Meanwhile, the reception barn is spacious, rustic, and has large barn doors that can open up to let in the fresh air. And the outdoor spaces are even better! The ceremony space is decked out in green trees and ivy, boasting a trellis and a 200-year-old oak tree. There's also a pathway that winds through a woodsy area that feels utterly serene, before ending with a rose covered trellis. Guests will find all sorts of seating and green spaces outside the reception barn where they can relax with friends or even play a bit. Though my favorite spot is the pasture area beyond the parking lot, which offers up a wonderful open space for sunset photos near some wooden fences. I've photographed two weddings here now, and I'm more than ready for the next one. Jennifer SpringTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely perfect for a wedding or event! Our daughter got married her in June and it was simply stunning. Flowers, food and service was phenomenal. The owners and the wedding coordinator was perfect! Maggie SpringTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We cannot recommend this venue enough! The space is absolutely beautiful and cozy—perfect for the intimate, romantic atmosphere we envisioned. The ceremony area is gorgeous and perfectly shaded, making it comfortable and stunning for our special moment. Rehearsal was included, and we had our rehearsal dinner there right after practice—it was amazing and made the whole weekend feel seamless and special. Our day-of coordinators, Jamie and Jordan, were incredible—super organized, friendly, and attentive to every detail, helping the day run flawlessly. From the very start, Matt and Jess went above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable. Matt, who also catered our wedding, prepared the most incredible food—our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! Every dish was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Truly the best wedding food we’ve ever had. Jess was our florist and designer, and she absolutely nailed our vision. The florals were stunning—elegant, colorful, and so thoughtfully arranged. She made the entire space feel magical. The groom’s room was perfect for all the guys to get ready and hang out—it had a pool table and a big TV, creating a relaxed, fun vibe before the ceremony. One of the things that meant the world to us was that they allowed our dog to be part of our wedding. It made the day even more special, and we’re so grateful they were so accommodating! Every member of the staff was kind, helpful, and professional. A special shoutout to Tori, our bartender—she was amazing! Friendly, efficient, and made sure everyone had a great time. If you're looking for a beautiful, welcoming venue run by people who genuinely care about your day, this is the one. Matt and Jess are a dream team, and we’re so thankful to them for making our wedding truly perfect. Connor MooneyhamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate our special day. From start to finish, everything was simply perfect. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful — every corner felt like a dream backdrop for photos and unforgettable moments. The coordination was top-notch, with everything running smoothly thanks to the attentive and professional team. A huge shoutout to Matt, the venue owner, whose food was nothing short of incredible — our guests are still talking about the meal! And the floral arrangements by Jess (also one of the owners) were stunning. She truly has an amazing eye for design and brought our vision to life in the most breathtaking way. They went above and beyond for us in every way, and we are so grateful. If you're looking for a venue that combines beauty, amazing service, and people who genuinely care — this is the place. Highly, highly recommend! Samantha MurphyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our wedding at Newcastle Gardens was absolutely perfect. The setting was stunning—beautifully maintained grounds and a romantic atmosphere that wowed every guest. The food was incredible, with every dish getting compliments all night. The venue team was organized, responsive, and a joy to work with throughout the entire process. They anticipated our needs and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. We felt genuinely cared for, and the night couldn’t have been more seamless or memorable. Anthony TseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great spot to host a cozy wedding. But the noise from the street was disturbing during the ceremony. Mr GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Getting married? Excellent Farm to Table choice, Good Food & Service in lovely surroundings. JackieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the perfect wedding at Newcastle Gardens. I got married in early November. Working with Matt and Jess was so easy. They both work very hard to give you a beautiful wedding. The venue is absolutely gorgeous. Jess did our floral arrangements, table decor and seating chart. When we first met to discuss what type of look I was going for, she had a lot of creative ideas and was highly collaborative. I ended up giving her a lot of creative leeway because I truly felt like she understood the look and vibe I wanted to create for my wedding. She over delivered. I might be biased, but my wedding looked so good! I was thrilled, I could not get over how gorgeous my flowers and the decor looked. Matt did our menu, and everything tasted fantastic. We did a very autumnal themed menu and his ideas were awesome. He really can cook anything. They also made sure that my groom and I had enough time to eat! My guests were salivating over everything that was served. The venue is BYOB, but they do provide that bartender. We had Abe and he was so friendly. The venue also provides a day of coordinator, we had Jordan, she was so personable and efficient. She got everyone where they were supposed to be, and I felt like she solved 1000 things before I even knew there was a potential issue. No one bothered me at my wedding thanks to her! My husband and I were able to just enjoy our celebration and each other. She even made us a dinner plate and brought it to our table! In case you couldn't tell by this review I am over the moon about my experience with Newcastle Gardens. Matt, Jess, Jordan and everyone there is worth their weight in gold.Google rating score: 4.5 of 5, based on 101 reviewsVerified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
