I have had both my daughters weddings at the community center in Tomales. Everyone was very easy to work with . The main hall is warm and fun to decorate. I had about 100 guests who all sat down for a dinner. Then we moved the tables and benches to the side and danced on the good wooden floor. A DJ operated on the stage and family members made speeches. The downstairs kitchen made food serving and cleaning easy.

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. It was a beautiful day and we have wonderful memories and photos of it forever, I couldn't be happier with it!

The Monk Ranch

This working ranch was established in 1876, one hundred and thirty years ago and still remains in the family today. Our garden has been years in the making and continues to be a big part of our ranch. Create your memories in our country garden for your special day or event,. We would be more the happy to show you the grounds.

My husband and I got married at Monk Ranch in June of 2023 and we absolutely fell in love as soon as we toured. Not only was it only 10 minutes from our house but it also included so much of the extra stuff that we didn't want to coordinate ourselves or pay extra for like tables, chairs, ceremony arch, bar, extra bathrooms. The fees were super reasonable and Gail was extremely easy to work with. She let me borrow several items from her decor closet and even set it up for me. I would recommend this property to anyone looking to host a wedding up to 100 people or even other celebrations like baby showers or bridal showers.
