We got married here in May of 2023. The Ranch was the first and only venue that my husband and I looked at - as soon as we saw it, we knew it would be perfect. Truly the most breathtaking spot with so much character. Nikki and David were wonderful to work with and so relaxed and down to earth compared to other venues (or so I've heard - we've been to about 12 other weddings in the past 2 years!). I love how their place feels like a family affair - you'll be working with either Nikki or David directly the whole time, and you'll often see their son helping out too (not to mention their adorable bull dog!). They'll let you bring pretty much whatever you want to make the place match your vision, and they'll offer advice and suggestions from other weddings that they've held there. Some things we did that we highly recommend: -rented out the entire campground next door so that all of the young people could stay off the roads and stumble back to the campsite post wedding to continue the party at the bonfire (husband and I rented a cute airstream from Outdoorsy)-rented a picnic table at the marina right down the road the day before (only $100!) for a casual welcome party-rented the cottage at the Geyserville Inn for MOB and FOB to stay at and for the girls to get ready in (boys came in to shower after the girls had left!)... there is a cute air-conditioned RV on site to hang out in and hide from guests but no shower-booked out the adorable back patio at Diavola in Geyserville for a rehearsal dinner -brought hundreds of mason jars filled with twinkle lights to fill the alcoves at the barn -Kept decorations simple (the setting speaks for itself) but added our own DIY design elements with rosemary and eucalyptus to save money (totally fits the vibe at the Ranch)-Paid to start the ceremony an hour early so it didn't feel rushed (and we knew we had the bonfire to party at afterwards)- Paid for the beer donkey - best money spent, such a hit!It's all very \"bring your own everything,\" and there's no kitchen or refrigerator, so some of the things we did to keep it easy:-provided welcome champagne and potato chips before the ceremony started -had a popcorn bar for cocktail hour (from Thatcher's organic popcorn - so good and a hit)-hired The Wurst for food - casual but delicious and guests loved it. Also so easy to work with, an incredible value for wedding food, and they know the venue already -brought all of our own alcohol and created 3 \"house cocktails\" to make it easy on the bartenders and prevent us from getting overwhelmed with all the alcohol options to buy and bring -paid our wedding coordinator (Detailed Dreams) to bring their server and bartender staff. Seriously so worth it - you don't want to be worrying about cleaning up trash during your wedding!We also really wanted to bring a telescope because Lake Sonoma is in a \"dark zone\" on the dark sky map but we couldn't get it organized in time. Either way, it has the most incredible stargazing!Honestly, my only complaint was just how crazy beautiful the sunset was! No one wanted to get on the dance floor and miss the beautiful golden hour over the lake, hah! If you're balling on a budget (we did our whole 100 person wedding for ~35K - not easy in this economy!) and willing to put in a little work and DIY but looking for a beautiful venue with great bones, then this is absolutely the place for you. We can't recommend it enough.

If you're looking for a serene escape complete with breathtaking views, barn, and four-legged friends (or really just the perfect spot for your wedding) then look no further! My partner and I visited The Ranch first on our list of possible venues and we knew from that moment it was the one. Despite going through the motions of looking and considering - The Ranch was truly one of a kind and an absolute dream. Nikki and David are extremely easy to work with and very accommodating. Anytime we had any questions or specific needs to create our special day, they were available and on board to work with us. The sunset views on top of the hill are breathtaking, but any time of day will take your breath away up there. Our reception was in the barn which was beautiful and cozy, with enough room for all our seated guests and a dance floor. Saving the best for last, the icing on the cake was Lollipop the beer donkey- Guests LOVED her.
