FAQs
Question
Where is your wedding?
Answer
Our wedding will be at Oz Farm & Retreat Center in Point Arena, CA. This is an organic, off the grid farm, powered by wind and solar energy. It lies about 130 miles north of San Francisco. We are so excited to share this beautiful space with you for our weekend together!
Question
Off the grid - does that mean this place is rustic?
Answer
Why yes! It still has basic comforts - bathrooms & electricity, but don't expect to have cell service. There is a bit of wifi around the central area if you need to connect.
Question
Where do we stay?
Answer
We recommend booking early! The closest town is Point Arena, about a 15 minute drive from Oz. There are multiple hotels and inns there. While not abundant, there are a few Airbnb options available as well. There is also a KOA campground in Manchester 10 minutes away. Some folks will be camping on-site with us. We will follow up with you!
Question
Is Oz Farm in Point Arena or Manchester?
Answer
Both! The driveway entrance to Oz Farm is in Point Arena, but down the driveway, the valley that Oz Farm sits in is in Manchester. The good news is that if you just type Oz Farm & Retreat Center or the address we have shared on invites into your maps, it will all take you to the same place.
Question
What will the weather be like?
Answer
Oz Farm is just a few miles off the coast, so it tends to stay pretty mild, usually in the mid-60's during the day and the high 50's at night! Generally there is fog in the morning that breaks around midday. Afternoons tend to be sunny and warm! Then, the fog rolls back in like a blanket in the evenings. Bring layers and sunscreen to be ready for all the different temperatures!
Question
Can I take photos at your wedding?
Answer
For our ceremony, we're asking that all phones are off & away. We want you to be present with us during the most important part of our day! Don't worry, we have 2 wonderful photographers who will be capturing those special moments. During all other parts of the day & weekend, take as many photos as your heart desires!
Question
What Does Farm Fancy Mean???
Answer
Farm Fancy means… look good and feel comfortable! Great “farm fancy” options include: cocktail dresses, nice sundresses, long skirts with a top, jumpsuits, nice pants and a blazer, sports jacket and slacks, suit (tie optional), dress shoes, Blundstones or similar boot, flats, block heels, wedges, etc. Avoid: ballgowns, tuxedos, jeans, stilettos.
Question
What are some Oz site rules we should know about?
Answer
No pets! This will be a non-smoking weekend! And lastly, this is a working farm. Please do not pick any flowers, fruits, or veggies or we will lose our deposit!
