The Red Barn Ranch was truly our dream wedding venue. Not only is it rustic and beautiful but it radiates love and family. The Rorabaugh's are the most down to earth and loving hosts you could ever hope for. They are there for you when you need but they also allow you a lot of freedom to create the exact experience you want. And they work hard to accommodate whatever you need for your special day. For example, she allowed me to have alpacas at our wedding and talked to the Alpaca handler about the best way to get in and set up so I didn't have to. Our wedding was a dream; from the rehearsal dinner at the venue and staying in the bridal suite, to the hustle of getting ready, to walking down the aisle and finally to dancing the night away. The accommodations were unparalleled and the venue is so beautiful, it saved me tons on florals and decor. Also when booking this venue, you get access on Friday and don't have to be gone until 3 the following Sunday. They also allow guests to camp in tents or bring RVs. This was one of my favorite parts about our wedding. A lot of my family stayed in their RVs and the morning after the wedding, it was the cutest and most fun little camp site. The proprietor woke in the morning to feed their cows and invited my little cousins to join. They also brought out their horses and my niece got to ride a horse for the first time. The pond is an adorable hang out spot where they allow catch and release fishing and rides around in the canoe plus it is an amazing background for pictures. My little nephews were having the best time chasing frogs and catching fish. When you book your wedding or other special event with Red Barn Ranch, you are not going to be disappointed. You are booking the most perfect experience with some of the most wonderful and caring people.

The fact that Little Saint handles so much of the food and catering, florals and coordination in-house was a huge relief, and the quality of the cuisine and drinks was exceptional. Overall, the team at Little Saint helped create the most gorgeous, eclectic, unique, and unforgettable day we could have imagined.

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!

The pricing on here is wrong. The venue fee alone is almost 30k. Then the food and beverage minimum is 50k but if you have 150 guests you will spend more like 80k. Plus there is a service fee of at least 13k. So BEFORE photographer, footwear, videographer, band, decor etc. you’re already at around 123k.

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!

Our wedding at River Bend Vineyard was exactly what we hoped for. Christina responded to our questions quickly and always made us feel supported throughout the planning process. The venue itself is stunning with plenty of space for our ceremony and reception, and we loved how she connected us with her preferred vendors who truly delivered. Her recommendations saved us time and stress, and every vendor she suggested was professional and easy to work with. The day ran smoothly from start to finish, and our guests couldn't stop talking about the beautiful setting. We'd choose River Bend Vineyard again in a heartbeat.

Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch was the perfect venue for our intimate, 17-person, post-ceremony wedding lunch. We had the outdoor patio area all to ourselves and it was absolutely gorgeous, and so well-maintained! From the moment we reached out to Farmstead, the team was detailed, polite, and positive in their communication, making the planning process as seamless as could be expected. Farmstead was also really flexible in allowing us to bring our own decorations, which was so great, and truly helped our vision come to life. The food and drinks were fresh and absolutely delicious! It made all the difference to us that Farmstead was able to nimbly accommodate all of our guests' dietary preferences in a way that ensured people ate healthily and deliciously, especially for those who traveled from far away. We are so grateful to the Farmstead team for helping make our special day unforgettable. Thank you so much!

We hosted an Anniversary Party at the Hall of the Above was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, the energy was electric, the atmosphere elegant, and the celebration truly fitting for such a milestone event. I’ve been obsessed with the Hall opening, and it did not disappoint! We wanted to give our milestone anniversary recipients a wow-worthy experience, and the Hall delivered—blending historic charm with modern vibes in the best way possible. We couldn’t have asked for better hosts than Diane and Rod—their hospitality and attention to detail made the night seamless and special, right down to accommodating my light color change requests. We’re already looking forward to booking at Hall of the Above again! If you haven’t checked it out yet, do yourself a favor—you won’t regret it.
