MacCallum House 

5.0

Mendocino, CA
  • Up to 200 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

MacCallum House provides the scenic beauty of the Pacific Ocean and a beautifully restored Victorian mansion as a backdrop for your wedding celebrations. In the center of the picturesque village of Mendocino, the Mac House has two acres of gardens, expansive lawns, a bar and restaurant and 32 distinctive rooms. MacCallum House is the perfect location for your destination wedding. The 19 rooms on the main property are reserved exclusively for your guests. The bar & restaurant are an ideal venue for hosting groups of up to 80 guests, and includes exclusive use of our two dining rooms, each with a river stone fireplace, as well as the bar and cafe, which includes an ocean-view sun porch, a wrap-around veranda, a lounge and bar. For larger parties, the tent, situated on our lush lawn and surrounded by established landscape, can accommodate up to 200 guests. Amplified music on the lawn ends at 10pm but the party can continue inside until midnight.

My husband and I got married in Mendocino in early August and chose MacCallum House (or Mac House) as our reception location and couldn't have been happier with how it all turned out. We knew we wanted to get married along the Mendocino coast and the most important things for us were being able to throw a memorable party and have incredible food. During our venue search, we were challenged with the logistics of lodging our guests (around 80) at reasonable price points, quiet hours that would cap our party time and figuring out transportation within a comfortable budget that wasn't cumbersome to our group. We were drawn to the Mac House due to it's insanely convenient location (our guests didn't have to use any cars once they arrived and enjoyed the town at their own pace within walking distance) and beautiful rooms at a very affordable rate but we were hook, line, sinker SOLD when we had dinner at the restaurant and tried their food. WOW. We worked really closely with Summer, who was the awesomely vivacious Mac House coordinator and our personal cheerleader as we embarked on planning our wedding within 6 months. We decided to have our ceremony a few minutes away at Cypress Grove (which the Mac House helped us plan) and due to our party size, opted to host the reception in a tent on the Mac House lawn. Our wedding was truly the best day of our lives and our guests could not stop telling us how incredible the food was, how beautiful the tent looked, and most importantly how much FUN they had. I have to give a special shoutout to the entire staff who worked our event. Everyone was so kind, so attentive, and so lovely that it made a real lasting impression on everyone. I had one guest say to me verbatim "you never really notice the service at weddings but I noticed how amazing the service was at yours". We had multiple people tell us that we had the best wedding food they had ever had (we're both in our late 30s so we take that compliment as high praise as most ppl have been to tons of weddings at that point) and our party kept going till midnight before some of our guests spilled over to the local bars to keep going. The only slight bump leading up to the weekend was that it was clear to us that the Mac House was navigating some moving parts with their business this year (dealing with the aftermath of a really wet winter season, ordering new furniture, etc) and it took a while to get answers to certain questions but honestly, at no point was it stressful and it all worked out beyond our expectations. Saya (the GM), Chef Alan, and Summer are all wonderful people and they worked their tails off to give us an incredible weekend that we and our family and friends will never forget. We are huge fans of the Mac House and their entire team and can't wait to go back and visit again.

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.

We are Jenni Grubba Events and we stayed at Knotty Oak in order to gauge interest for a client of ours and I am so excited to plan weddings here! Mary spent so much quality time with us showing us the spaces, making us yummy cocktails, and just hanging out. I've never experienced a warmer welcome to a venue that we did with Mary. The houses are immaculate, rustic, so cozy, and the kitchen is huge. The event spaces are plentiful and the venue is so flexible with how you use them. You cannot go wrong planning your wedding here. Lean into the pros and you'll have the best time ever!

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.

Don't get married here...only because it's the absolute most special place on the planet and I want it all to myself :) .... It may feel like a trek for guests, but there is nothing like it out there. It's magical when you are here, and words can't describe it. There are so many places on the property to fall in love with. The staff was so supportive throughout our planning process and even more helpful during our wedding weekend — they even went as far as dismantling the front porch when my diamond earring fell through the cracks! Perfect is a hard word to live up to, but Whispertree is effortlessly enchanting and unique. Our wedding weekend surpassed anything that we could've imagined it to be, and we'll forever remember this place. We almost want to get divorced so we can get married here again

Switzer Farm is the most majestic and secluded wedding destination on California’s North Coast.

We enjoy uninterrupted ocean views from the house and from everywhere on the property. This is the perfect place for your wedding, elopement, reunion or event of any kind. You and your guests will enjoy uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean and its rocky sea stacks and crashing waves from our farmhouse, garden cottage, veranda, gardens, lawns, meadow, headlands, really everywhere on the property. But you will all also enjoy complete privacy from the rest of the world. The entire property is West of the only roadway, Route 1, and so, once you arrive, there will be nothing between you and the ocean but our very private meadow and headlands!

There was no component of our wedding weekend more complimented than the venue itself. People could not stop remarking about the beauty of Switzer Farm and how lucky they felt to have had the opportunity to visit. Many have said they'd like to get married there next! Gary and Dolores were a joy to work with and we appreciated the extra effort they both took to familiarize us and our vendors with the property. We felt extra, extra grateful to have had the opportunity to stay onsite for our wedding and enjoyed the beautiful accommodations, kitchen, and access to our wedding! The extra special opportunity to spend more time with our families at Switzer will be cherished forever.

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!
