We can’t recommend this venue highly enough! From the moment we arrived until our final goodbyes, it truly felt like we were hosting our wedding in our very own private national park. The natural beauty of the grounds is unmatched – from scenic overlooks and quiet trails to a stunning swimming pond and a magical temple reception space. Every corner felt special and offered a unique experience for us and our 80 guests.One of the biggest highlights was being able to spend Thursday through Monday onsite, which allowed us plenty of time to set up and clean up, while still enjoying unhurried time with our guests. Our friends and family stayed in glamping tents (aka eco pods), which were as cozy as they were unique – complete with bedding, linens, WiFi, electricity.Communication leading up to the big event was smooth thanks to Frank Sergi, who was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout the booking and planning process. The venue owner, Suvas, was personally involved and made us feel incredibly welcome. Beyond that, we were deeply moved by his vision for the land. The venue isn’t just beautiful – it’s purpose-driven. Suvas and his team are committed to reforestation, ecological education, and running garden programs that donate fresh food to local food banks. Hosting our wedding in a space with such meaningful values made the experience even more special. We felt truly honored to be able to take part in that mission.Onsite support from Romaldo and Jorge was absolutely top-notch. They were attentive, kind, and worked tirelessly to ensure every detail matched our hopes.Many of our guests told us it was one of the most memorable and special weddings they’ve ever attended – and we couldn’t agree more. If you’re looking for a venue that blends nature, comfort, and purpose, this is the place. It exceeded our expectations and gave us memories we’ll treasure forever. Thank you Sonoma Forest Sanctuary!

From the moment we drove up to Crows Peak Ranch, we knew it would be a hard venue to beat. It was the second venue we toured, and Catherine made us feel immediately like we could have our dream wedding come true! The blank canvas of the barn allows you to really create your vision of how you want your love story to unfold, and the picturesque ceremony site overlooking the forest below truly was the selling point for us. On our wedding day, the number one question was “how did you FIND this place? It’s absolutely STUNNING!” Pictures online truly don’t do it justice! We were able to use our creativity and truly customize our wedding weekend to be just the way we wanted. The price was unbelievable for the space & how much time you get on the property. The flexibility of our choice of vendors and the knowledge & helpfulness of Catherine throughout the process was the cherry on top! The story behind the venue was so special and we knew working with Catherine would be a breeze. We got to have our rustic, elegant & romantic day & it was truly magical! We could not have picked a better place for our wedding weekend to unfold, it truly was amazing from start to finish. We are so happy with our experience at Crows Peak Ranch & how special our day was because of this STUNNING property! Once you step onto the property, you will feel the MAGIC of it all!

Don't get married here...only because it's the absolute most special place on the planet and I want it all to myself :) .... It may feel like a trek for guests, but there is nothing like it out there. It's magical when you are here, and words can't describe it. There are so many places on the property to fall in love with. The staff was so supportive throughout our planning process and even more helpful during our wedding weekend — they even went as far as dismantling the front porch when my diamond earring fell through the cracks! Perfect is a hard word to live up to, but Whispertree is effortlessly enchanting and unique. Our wedding weekend surpassed anything that we could've imagined it to be, and we'll forever remember this place. We almost want to get divorced so we can get married here again

The Knotty Oak 

5.0

Philo, CA
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $15,000

The oldest house in Philo (1888), it was Anderson Valley’s first post office and stagecoach stop that decades later was the Philo Pottery Inn. During the painstaking restoration we did using nearly all salvaged materials, its secrets and history began to resurface. We were constantly discovering little finds, over 200 1880's old glass bottles buried on the grounds to the headline clad 1915 newspaper lined walls in the main house. It’s been part remodel and archeological dig. Now it’s ready to host events & make fresh memories for decades to come. A few years ago we were lucky enough to add 20+ acres of open meadow lands & forest contiguous to TKO for events & glamping and built an amphitheater by Indian Creek in the woods. We can host up to 100 and have have 12 bedrooms in three fab houses, plus glamping tents. There are so many ways to utilize the property and also vintage trailers and wacky Japanese cars to get creative with. Come see for yourself and be part of its evolving history.

This venue is simply like no other... from the moment you arrive you know you're somewhere special where you want to get married. The ceremony and reception site were soo cool and we were able to choose from several different parts of the property on site (for the main day and other activities throughout our event with different guests visiting). We actually hosted our close family and friends there in the main house from the 1800s as well as the cool cabin and even some in glamping bell tents on the meadow at the top of the magical creekside redwood amphitheater. There were also some rad cars (we loved the tiny red firetruck, VW buses and retro camper trailers!) & chairs and other things we rented from Mary who was not only accommodating but great to help us with ideas, vendors, what to do before and during our event/stay. We would highly recommend for anyone wanting something unexpected and unique. We looked at other options at wineries and in the redwoods, but found the Knotty Oak had elements of that but with touches that felt unique as we are and special as we wanted our celebration with our loved ones to feel.

Red Barn Ranch is an exceptionally beautiful property in lovely Northern California. I have had the pleasure of photographing weddings there for the last 12 years of my career. The thing I love lost about Red Barn Ranch are the expansive and gorgeous grounds they have on location. Literally acres & acres of beautiful land! As a photographer, I look for beautiful lighting wherever I go. When I am photographing a wedding at Red Barn Ranch, I know that I will find stunning lighting and backdrops for my clients- to give them the most beautiful portraits! It doesn’t matter if it’s noon or 5:00pm- the light at Red Barn Ranch is uniquely lovely at anytime. I can always find a gorgeous spot with flattering light to make my bride look radiant. My clients have so many options as far as locations to photograph them in- fields of grass, rolling hills, barns, mature oak trees, retired railroads… you name it! The views are expansive and gorgeous. This is a venue that is universally loved by all guests, very warm and comfortable lots of room. The venue owners are exceptionally kind and helpful, very welcoming. Schedule a tour today and see for yourself why it is such a beautiful and popular spot!

The Ranch at Lake Sonoma was the perfect venue for our wedding. It had a gorgeous, natural setting with a relaxed, DIY feel that gave us so much freedom to make the day our own. We loved that we could bring in our own vendors and design every detail to match our style — nothing felt cookie-cutter or restricted. One of the absolute highlights was the sunset view — golden hour over the lake was breathtaking and made for some of our favorite photos (and moments). It truly felt magical. Even better, the campground right next door made the whole weekend feel like a celebration, not just a single night. We got to spend real time with our guests — sharing meals, gathering around the campfire, and soaking in the post-wedding joy together. It created a vibe we’ll never forget. If you’re looking for a beautiful, flexible venue with incredible views and space to turn your wedding into a weekend experience, The Ranch at Lake Sonoma is it. We can’t recommend it enough!

Got the wonderful opportunity to get married here May 24th. Everything from meeting Yazmin and her family was such a joy! It was such a beautiful experience to watch this place grow into such a beautiful venue. It's a one-stop-shop! Food, decor, flowers, coordinator and many other things! Yazmin was such a joy to work with and made the process so easy. Everyone who works on the grounds are absolutely amazing and kind. The house is beautiful, clean and spacious. The view was amazing! Seeing the horses run around, the flowers in bloom, the water from the fountain and more was amazing!

We had a magical wedding at Ru's. 100% would go for Ru's again. We lucked out with the weather but regardless, there is a lot of shade for guests (especially in the ceremony/dinner areas). The lighting is incredible. The lush lavender and olive trees makes the setting feel fairy-tale like and unique. We loved that everything was spaced out enough but also close together -- giving a homey/backyard and also elevated feel. Guests commented on how much they loved it too. We appreciated that you can BYOB. Ru's does offer some items to borrow but we elected to rent items for a specific feel (also note that you will be required to rent kitchen items such as an oven unless your caterer provides that). The cottage is also clutch and super nice. Working with Lele and Kristen was super great too. Having a hard time finding drawbacks!

Paradise Ridge was absolutely stunning for our wedding! Even though it rained all day unexpectedly, the venue was just breathtaking. The only thing I would definitely change is that they have ceremonies start at 6pm and receptions end at 11pm- I wish we would've either added the optional hour to go to midnight or rented the space out to start earlier since everyone was having a ton of fun and it felt like the dancing didn't last as long as some other weddings we've been to. The staff was professional and knowledgable, and we didn't have any problems day of. They also have chairs and tables for 150 people included, which was great when making the rental order. Overall, PRW was fantastic.

We are absolutely thrilled with our wedding at Stemple Creek. It's a blank slate in many ways, and requires some imagination, but trust your vision! It is worth it. On our wedding day, it was cloudy, on the chillier side for July, and the eucalyptus grove where we had our ceremony was very windy, but all of this just added to the beauty of Stemple Creek and made us all feel like we were in some other time and place. It honestly exceeded our expectations. Our guests were flat out stunned by the venue. Everything, from the grove, to the cocktail hour space, to the bar-shed, to the barn was perfect. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Katie was a super generous and kind host, and her dog Schaeffer is the sweetest. Coby was also very gracious throughout the event. Thank you Stemple Creek!

We had an eight-piece band up on the stage and they sounded fantastic with the acoustics in the room. We had an area cleared up front for dancing and the small round tables in the back with tablecloths and electric candles on them. We served wine and beer from the bar. Much fun was had by all!

Awarded Best of Zola
Our wedding exceeded every expectation we had, and so much of that was thanks to Kimwood Ranch! The beauty of the property is unmatched with everything you need on site - enough space for getting ready between the two houses, a variety of locations for photos, we loved having space for some guests to camp, and so much more. Our dance floor in the barn was packed till the very end! There was so much flexibility working with the whole Kimwood team - they were all kind, thoughtful, and accommodating. The owners are some of the sweetest people you’ll meet. All of our vendors loved the location and enjoyed working with them too. Natalie as our coordinator went above and beyond, providing insight and guidance on the aspects I felt unsure of or wasn’t even thinking about. She truly made our wedding as smooth as possible and such a memorable day. I can’t say enough good things about her and the experience I got to have as a bride because of her. I’m tearing up writing this because she made such an impact! We are so happy we chose to have our wedding at Kimwood!

Pam & Larry (the owners and managers of Gables Wine Country Inn) were so kind when we came to them for a last minute wedding and were so flexible and adaptable with the things we wanted for our wedding. They were extremely helpful in giving us our perfect day: the decor was gorgeous, the venue amazing, food & drink was the best and our guests had a great time too. It was a very easy planning process and they were very easy going about our wishes so I highly recommend this venue for a wedding, it was a wonderful experience and they couldn't have made the stress of planning a wedding any easier.
