Ceremony under the oaks, reception in the rebuilt stone barn, and a private upstairs bridal suite — on a working family ranch, left the way the land already is. Up to 150 guests, one event at a time.
River rock laid by hand, eight-foot timber doors that open the whole wall, shade sails and string lights over the concrete apron. It seats 150 inside, spills onto the apron for cocktails, and stays lit until the last dance.
Rebuilt from river rock hauled out of the Cosumnes — the barn is the reception, indoors and out.
Pine ceiling, plaster walls, a raw timber post down the middle and concrete underfoot. Farm tables run the length of the room, the circle arch moves indoors behind the head table, and the doors stay open to the west so the last of the light comes in with you.
Long tables for the whole guest list, the arch brought in behind the newlyweds.
A circle arch at the end of the aisle, valley oaks on either side, open range and foothills behind it. Chairs and arch go up the morning of, then come down again — the setting is the ranch itself, not a manicured garden.
Set for a spring ceremony — the arch is ours, the hills are the backdrop.
A private room above the barn, included with the venue: exposed timber, a full-length antique mirror, daylight on three sides, and room for the whole party to get ready without a single drive.
The suite is included with the barn — hair and makeup, first looks, and the last quiet hour before the aisle.
River-rock walls and eight-foot barn doors on one side, open oak meadow on the other. Groups of six or sixteen fit either backdrop, and both are a short walk from the reception floor.
Barrels and river rock: the barn face doubles as a portrait wall all afternoon.
Green grass in April, gold in September, a gravel road, a fence line, a vintage truck by the barn. Your photographer gets the run of the property, and the last light comes in low over the west hills.
Late September and early April on the same hillside — the ranch changes color with the season you book.
Our own label on the tables — La Alma red and sēl white from The Stone Barn Winery. Long wood tables, candlelight, a bar built into a restored horse trailer, and caterers who cook close to the source.
Our own bottles on every table — La Alma red and sēl white, from The Stone Barn Winery.
Invitation suites laid out on linen, boots instead of heels, ribbon cut long, a bouquet that came together that morning.
We take a limited number of events each year, so every date starts with a real conversation and a tour — no booking engine. Send us your date and rough guest count and we will set up a walk-through.
