Have the wedding of your dreams at this historic 1880s site, surrounded by 10,000 roses, spectacular arbors and pergolas, and richly planted gardens. Garden Valley Ranch has several period buildings, including a Carriage House, Belfry, Caretaker’s Cottage, Train Depot (now converted to the bride’s changing room) and Bunkhouse. Once part of one of the largest landholdings in southern Sonoma County, the buildings reflect this grand period with highly detailed ornamentation and craftsmanship.

See roses in all their glorious forms, climbing trees, arbors, in the landscape, as well as the spectacular cutting-rose fields. You and your guests will enjoy their one-acre secret fragrance garden, featuring a beautiful fountain, formal hedges, and delightful, fragrant flowers. Photograph memories of a lifetime on the one-of-a-kind bridge overlooking their pond, featuring koi and ducks, and surrounded by lovely plantings, or by their “folly,” an Italianate colonnaded dome covered in creamy white roses. Delight in the flowers in their English-style border, well over 200 feet of colorful roses, shrubs, flowers and apple trees, or maybe you prefer the serene beauty of their shade gardens, featuring hundreds of mature hydrangeas, magical white-barked birches, fragrant magnolias and charming woodland flowers.

Stay in their 1880s cottage, complete with canopy bed, fireplace, claw-foot tub, and decorated with original art, Venetian mirror and beautiful antiques.

Bring in your choice of caterer and have the food and drinks that satisfy your needs, while the tables with umbrellas, chairs, banquet tables and canopy are included in the site rental.

Garden Valley Ranch is the place to hold your wedding and/or reception that will provide both you and your guests a lifetime of delightful memories.
