Whispertree Retreat 

5.0

Boonville, CA
  • Up to 150 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $6,500

Whispertree (formerly Bell Valley Retreat) is a Boonville, California venue for weddings that welcomes you to the beauty and simplicity of a less-is-more celebration embraced by a pristine, 600+ acre retreat in Anderson Valley, California. At Whispertree you can celebrate without the pressure of fitting into the conventional wedding box. We invite couples with a love of nature (including LGBTQ couples) to craft a unique wedding experience to honor their union and enjoy intimate and nourishing connection with family and friends.

The choice of WhisperTree as our wedding venue was the absolute best decision we made in planning our sacred ceremony. We could not have asked for a more ineffably perfect setting—the gorgeous land, the incredible staff, and the rustic chic decor created the perfect atmosphere for the conscious California retreat wedding of our dreams. The land and property is absolutely gorgeous. You have access to a beautiful historic mansion with a beautiful backyard and hot tub, a rustic-yet-upscale barn with glimmering string lights, a charming riverside cottage, a gorgeous yurt where we hosted a soundbath and yoga, absolutely stunning glamping tents, and breathtaking trails. The entire weekend, all our guests kept noting how beautiful the property is, and how carefully and thoughtfully maintained. You can tell love and intention was put into every single piece of furniture, and there are incredible amenities, including rain boots, umbrellas, blankets for chilly nights, and so much more. We felt help, taken care of, and very grateful for the opportunity to host our unforgettable event here. The staff is top notch, and always available to assist you with any needs you may have. Everything is perfectly organized, so it made wedding planning as breezy as possible. We also worked with local farmers to source our food, wine, and flowers, and we could not have asked for better options. Many of our friends expressed that they hoped to get married at WhisperTree too, or to host a retreat, because it truly is the most unforgettable property in Northern California. We cannot recommend it more highly!

The Knotty Oak 

5.0

Philo, CA
  • Up to 100 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $15,000

The oldest house in Philo (1888), it was Anderson Valley’s first post office and stagecoach stop that decades later was the Philo Pottery Inn. During the painstaking restoration we did using nearly all salvaged materials, its secrets and history began to resurface. We were constantly discovering little finds, over 200 1880's old glass bottles buried on the grounds to the headline clad 1915 newspaper lined walls in the main house. It’s been part remodel and archeological dig. Now it’s ready to host events & make fresh memories for decades to come. A few years ago we were lucky enough to add 20+ acres of open meadow lands & forest contiguous to TKO for events & glamping and built an amphitheater by Indian Creek in the woods. We can host up to 100 and have have 12 bedrooms in three fab houses, plus glamping tents. There are so many ways to utilize the property and also vintage trailers and wacky Japanese cars to get creative with. Come see for yourself and be part of its evolving history.

This venue is simply like no other... from the moment you arrive you know you're somewhere special where you want to get married. The ceremony and reception site were soo cool and we were able to choose from several different parts of the property on site (for the main day and other activities throughout our event with different guests visiting). We actually hosted our close family and friends there in the main house from the 1800s as well as the cool cabin and even some in glamping bell tents on the meadow at the top of the magical creekside redwood amphitheater. There were also some rad cars (we loved the tiny red firetruck, VW buses and retro camper trailers!) & chairs and other things we rented from Mary who was not only accommodating but great to help us with ideas, vendors, what to do before and during our event/stay. We would highly recommend for anyone wanting something unexpected and unique. We looked at other options at wineries and in the redwoods, but found the Knotty Oak had elements of that but with touches that felt unique as we are and special as we wanted our celebration with our loved ones to feel.

Red Barn Ranch Events 

5.0

Hopland, CA
  • Up to 400 guests
  • Raw space
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $9,000

We know you’ll love our beautifully rustic, family owned and operated, outdoor venue! Dress it up or dress it down, your family will talk about your wedding and the fun they had for years to come! We offer 100 private acres with 5 acres of a manicured, park-like setting available for your reception area. There are multiple outdoor ceremony & reception locations with acres of photo ops! Our exclusive 3-day rental with full access to our venue includes space for trailer or tent camping for anyone in your family party and access to the Russian River & The Great Redwood Trail for hiking, swimming and relaxing. No matter your vibe you can create the wedding of your dreams at Red Barn Ranch!

The Red Barn Ranch was truly our dream wedding venue. Not only is it rustic and beautiful but it radiates love and family. The Rorabaugh's are the most down to earth and loving hosts you could ever hope for. They are there for you when you need but they also allow you a lot of freedom to create the exact experience you want. And they work hard to accommodate whatever you need for your special day. For example, she allowed me to have alpacas at our wedding and talked to the Alpaca handler about the best way to get in and set up so I didn't have to. Our wedding was a dream; from the rehearsal dinner at the venue and staying in the bridal suite, to the hustle of getting ready, to walking down the aisle and finally to dancing the night away. The accommodations were unparalleled and the venue is so beautiful, it saved me tons on florals and decor. Also when booking this venue, you get access on Friday and don't have to be gone until 3 the following Sunday. They also allow guests to camp in tents or bring RVs. This was one of my favorite parts about our wedding. A lot of my family stayed in their RVs and the morning after the wedding, it was the cutest and most fun little camp site. The proprietor woke in the morning to feed their cows and invited my little cousins to join. They also brought out their horses and my niece got to ride a horse for the first time. The pond is an adorable hang out spot where they allow catch and release fishing and rides around in the canoe plus it is an amazing background for pictures. My little nephews were having the best time chasing frogs and catching fish. When you book your wedding or other special event with Red Barn Ranch, you are not going to be disappointed. You are booking the most perfect experience with some of the most wonderful and caring people.

Jeriko Estate was amazing for our special day. The winery and grounds created the perfect vibe for our ceremony and reception. Rustic with the right amount of elegance. After the beautiful courtyard ceremony, we toasted with Jeriko Estate’s amazing Brut Rose under the 100-year-old olive tree. Everyone loved the wine bar and the outside covered arbors overlooking the vineyards. The large press room was awesome for our reception dinner and dancing and saved us from the warm summer afternoon heat. One of the best parts of having our wedding at Jeriko was the onsite lodging. The wedding party stayed in the main Jeriko house that sleeps seventeen and other guests booked the casitas and homes on the property. Jennifer and the rest of the Jeriko staff made our wedding stress free and were a delight to work with. We highly recommend Jeriko estate if you’re planning a special day!

Brutocao Vineyards 

5.0

Hopland, CA
  • Up to 300 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $7,500

Having a wedding in wine country can be amazing! Brutocao Vineyards has all the amenities to offer. Whether you are looking for a small intimate dining room, a spacious and elegant vaulted banquet room, or a private outdoor wine country wedding surrounded by lush grapes and breathtaking backdrops. Brutocao has it all! Not to mention some pretty tasty wines!

Contento Vineyards at Brutocao was hands down the best place possible for our big day. The site is expansive: plenty of room for a ceremony, dinner, and dancing for 250+ people (which was how many we hosted!). The availability of a bridal suite helped immensely, given that the hotel/rental choices in such a small town are scarce. Kathy was so friendly, easy to work with, and does not hesitate to offer guidance or recommendations on any questions about your wedding, not just the site! Her preferred vendor list basically saved us. The best part: the site is yours ALL WEEKEND, Friday - Sunday! There was no stress on the day of about set up or clean up, it really eased the minds of both of us and our families! If you're looking for a vineyard/barn wedding in Northern California, there's honestly no better choice!

  • Up to 200 guests
  • Raw space

Our historic Old Stone Building, two stories of Old World masonry and spectacular Douglas Fir wood beams, presents an ideal setting for your wedding celebration. The beautifully landscaped grounds provide a memorable backdrop for your special event. This site is a wonderful setting for an indoor and outdoor wedding, with options to hold the ceremony both in the Stone Building overlooking the vineyards or on the lawn beside bocce courts, surrounded by vineyards. The Old Stone Building is the perfect setting for the most spectacular day, providing an incredible backdrop for capturing that special picture, a classically beautiful room for dinner, and the space to dance the night away.

Trione is one of my favorite wineries to visit and also work with. I especially love their Wine maker Dinners. There staff is always so sweet and accommodating, they have delicious wine and such a great place to just hang out and enjoy wine. I also work with them in through the events industry and have loved working with them over the past 10 years. They have one of the best teams out there. I have been a guest at a couple of their weddings and have had such a great time. I recommend them on all levels!

Ru's Farm At Healdsburg Country Gardens Weddings 

5.0

Healdsburg, CA
  • Up to 160 guests
  • Raw space
  • Outdoor
  • Starts at $16,000

You are at such an exciting point in your life. And you are already dreaming of your special day ... Ru's Farm is a truly wonderful place that combines the very best of Sonoma’s wine country and farm lands ... rolling estate vineyards, amazing gardens and lawns, and an incredible barn built in 1902. Towering over it all is our 100-year old majestic cork oak tree, which really does add a special magic to the whole place. The barn, gardens, lawn, vineyards and farm buildings are all places where you can create your own magic. The garden has an abundance of plants and flowers including lavender, roses, rosemary, and sage - along with fruit + olive trees. The lawn looks out over the vineyards + is perfectly situated to watch the valley glow as the sun sets. There are even farm cottages to get ready in before your guests arrive. We are all about the details + providing you with a breathless backdrop. We know these are memories will last for a lifetime, we would be honored to host you.

We had a magical wedding at Ru's. 100% would go for Ru's again. We lucked out with the weather but regardless, there is a lot of shade for guests (especially in the ceremony/dinner areas). The lighting is incredible. The lush lavender and olive trees makes the setting feel fairy-tale like and unique. We loved that everything was spaced out enough but also close together -- giving a homey/backyard and also elevated feel. Guests commented on how much they loved it too. We appreciated that you can BYOB. Ru's does offer some items to borrow but we elected to rent items for a specific feel (also note that you will be required to rent kitchen items such as an oven unless your caterer provides that). The cottage is also clutch and super nice. Working with Lele and Kristen was super great too. Having a hard time finding drawbacks!

Awarded Best of Zola
When my soon-to-be husband had a table saw accident just days before our wedding, we didn’t know if we’d make it out of the hospital in time to celebrate, let alone how everything was going to come together. We need not have worried. Natalie and the folks at Kimwood Ranch took SUCH good care of us! From the moment we stepped onto the Ranch, we felt like family. Seriously, they helped turn one of the most overwhelming weeks in our lives, into the very best. From all the tiny details, to the big stuff, Natalie was on the ball. She was great with communication and she guided us throughout our planning process. When it came to the wedding, she understood our vision and made sure EVERYTHING was taken care of. And did I mention how beautiful the ranch is?!? Just being there made us and our guests so happy. It’s peaceful. It’s private. You feel like you're in your own little world. Our wedding couldn't have been more perfect! Thank you Kimwood Ranch!
