Awarded Best of Zola
After searching high and low, my husband and I decided on the Ranch at Stoney Creek. From the moment we stepped on the property, the beauty took our breaths away. From the pond at the entrance to the barn and grass area, to the upper area in the trees and grape vines where we had our ceremony. Michelle and Leon have the perfect property for that rustic/country wedding feel. One of the highlights I felt that made a difference was the fact that there are rooms on the property for the bridal party to stay at. Since we lived in Utah and all our friends are still in California, it was a great bonding experience to spend the weekend with them. All in all, they do a great job to keep the weekend running smooth. I would highly recommend this venue!

Linda Davies at the Shadow Ridge Ranch was a joy to work with. She was always available to answer my questions and help when needed. Her property is beautiful and large allowing for any size wedding. Different options for pricing are available depending on the size of the wedding and your needs. You can rent out any of the cabins for the week of the wedding for your bridal party and/or family members. Couples are allowed to stay in one of the cabins the night of their wedding as well. The bar service is phenomenal and the artist for the bar sign did a wonderful job. We would recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married outside under towering pine trees in classic gold country. The property has that old west vibe and the reception area can be decorated any way you please to enhance the theme of your event. They also do other events besides weddings. We had the best wedding we could have hoped for.
