Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Discover this enchanting, tucked-away destination among the redwoods, where fairy-tale romance, untouched natural beauty, and exceptional event curation combine to create magical weekend-long wedding experiences. A collection of diverse venues can accommodate every stage of the gathering, from rehearsal dinner to farewell brunch, including a charming English-style garden, a rustic redwood "cathedral," and a breezy Mediterranean-style fountain courtyard.
- Every celebration here is bespoke—designed and curated to reflect your unique vision. With only eight full weddings hosted per year, this an anti-wedding factory: you'll enjoy complete creative flexibility and exclusive use of the property's stunning spaces for the entirety of the weekend. We especially love the Event Pavilion, a rustic semicircular structure nestled among the trees, which exudes an earthy, welcoming vibe that reflects its past as a spiritual retreat; or, host an al fresco reception in the Tuscan-inspired piazza or a romantic dinner on the Oak Terrace. The options are endless!
- Your delectable menu is carefully crafted by Wickson, the on-site restaurant. Specializing in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavors enhanced by exceptionally fresh local ingredients, the talented chefs will work with you to create an exquisite feast your guests will love. They're cannabis-friendly, too, with an on-site dispensary and licensed, insured bud-tenders that make it easy to indulge.
