History

The Palms Playhouse originated in an old South Davis barn in the late 1970s, and soon evolved into a superb live music venue. Regardless of dust or drafts, the old barn was regarded as ideal for acoustics and atmosphere. After 27 years in the old barn, The Palms Playhouse relocated in 2002 to the 19th-century Winters Opera House, nestled in the heart of downtown Winters. In 2016, longtime Palms owner Dave Fleming retired, and the current owners took the reins.

Location

The Palms Playhouse is located in downtown Winters, a 40-minute drive from downtown Sacramento and a one-and-a-half-hour drive from downtown San Francisco.

Phenomenal Historic Venue - Character and Charm

This venue was fantastic. I am so grateful to Nora for making our day amazing. The character of both the facade and interior of the building is wonderful, and the location on main street in quaint, cute Winters is phenomenal. We had our ceremony outdoors in the park a block away, and the entire wedding party walked in a joyous procession to the venue. The sound quality was amazing, as in addition to being gorgeous the Palms Opera House is, of course, a world-renowned professional music venue. Nora was incredibly caring, responsive, and helpful with all aspects of planning including assisting and advising when asked on food, music, decor, and other aspects of the wedding. Our guests couldn't stop talking about this amazing venue. Phenomenal value. Truly the best day of my life.

My husband and I were both raised in Winters and we now live and raise our daughters in Winters as well. This town has our memories, our friends and family and we knew it was where we had to be married. We decided on a very simple and quick wedding with only about a month to prepare. We were so excited when we were able to book the Palms Playhouse. It is a landmark of Winters with all of its history and beauty. Nora and Andrew have done a fantastic job keeping such a wonderful piece of Winters alive and helping us create a day to remember. They were extremely professional, accommodating, friendly, helpful (and so reasonably priced)! We were extremely happy and satisfied with our choice in venue and grateful for all of their help!
