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!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I had the absolute best experience hosting our wedding at Ru's Farm! From the first time we viewed the property and met Kristen (Director of Hospitality Facility at Ru's), we knew it was the place for us. Kristen is the kindest person and we so easy & pleasant to work with. We also hired a majority of Ru's recommended vendors (catering, planning, etc), and they were such a well-oiled team to work with. We felt like we were working with people who were truly tethered to the Sonoma County community. Speaking about the venue itself - it's absolutely gorgeous. It's breathtaking even before you add florals! Our florist was able to draw on the natural beauty of Ru's, so the set up was absolutely stunning. All of our guests said it was one of the more beautiful weddings they've been to. Ru's is also a great location!! It feels like you're deep in wine county, but you're only a 7 minute drive from downtown Healdsburg. Also, don't worry about the 9pm cut off time. You still feel like you have a full event at the venue and you can keep the party rolling at one of the great bars in downtown Healdsburg! I can't recommend this venue enough - 10/10 experience!

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.
