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!
