About this venue

Our family's homestead - our 166-acre historic organic ranch, nestled amongst towering eucalyptus and cypress trees, and sitting directly on the shores of Tomales Bay on the coast of West Marin - is a truly idyllic setting and unique wedding venue, with spectacular water views, pastures and rolling hills. Capacity: Up to 180 guests. Packages: Contact us for details. Availability: ** 2024: Contact us for pricing and to schedule a venue tour. Special Treats: Organic soft serve ice cream is a *huge* hit; plus we offer theater-style pop-corn and late-night bon fire (perfect for s'mores). Home Base: Our ranch is a perfect spot for family and friends to hang out, play lawn games, and as a home base to explore all that West Marin offers. Accommodations: Plenty of local accommodations, including on-site and within an easy 5-minute walk, or 10-minute drive.
