The Tomales Town Hall is a versatile and truly authentic setting for weddings and more.

For almost 150 years, the Hall has served the people of Tomales and visitors near and far, providing space for occasions of all kinds. From town meetings to once-in-a-lifetime moments, the Hall has been witness to the life of its rural community. We invite you to experience coastal West Marin village life in this beautiful and unique space.

I rented the Tomales Town Hall for my fiftieth birthday. There was torrential rain outside but the hall was warm and cozy. We had an eight-piece band up on the stage and they sounded fantastic with the acoustics in the room. We had an area cleared up front for dancing and the small round tables in the back with tablecloths and electric candles on them. We served wine and beer from the bar. Much fun was had by all!

  • Starts at $2,500

The Gables Wine Country Inn is a elegant Gothic Victorian 8 room estate, circa 1877, featuring 12-foot ceilings, luxurious beds fitted with Comphy® sheets and private bathrooms with clawfoot tubs in each room. It is situated on 3-1/2 acres in the very center of famed Sonoma County Wine Country. The property includes a circa1850a redwood barn, vineyards, lavender garden and redwood trees.

The Gables Wine Country Inn was the perfect venue for our wedding. It had an intimate vibe and had such a variety of beautiful atmospheric additions too such as: a charming historic barn, redwood trees, winery, and Victorian building in the backdrop, it couldn't have been better. 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!

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
Stunning 100+ year old house, was home to one of the original wine pioneers of the region. Gardens are beautiful, perfect setting for 100 person event or smaller more intimate gatherings in the home. Affordable from every perspective, it is permitted to bring in your own beverages, catering and other vendors which saves a bunch! Most venues require the renters to use their vendors and buy their beverages which adds up to a lot, quickly. We used Wine Country Paella who were so amazing! Hidden gem, new management who are great to work with. Unlikely to be hidden for much longer.
